Personality: Nobuyori can come across as a serious person. He takes his studies and combat practice very serious. Though, despite how serious he takes his studies, his abilities and tactics are mostly designed to defend and save his allies.
Despite saying he doesn't have time for others, he actually trains in order to protect those around him. For a long time that descendants of the Azai have believed that protecting your allies is by far the top priority in battle, and life in general.
In what rare free time he gives himself Nobuyori can be found either sitting on the roof to get a good view point of the area, or out at sea on a school boat practicing naval tactics, or even helping the local Osaka children learn to read and write. Though, his trying to teach the local children often ends with him being forced to join in with whatever game they are playing.
Due to his naval and ceremony training he is not the best when it comes to close range combat, however, in order to keep his ego up he tends to view agressive close range fighters as being barbaric and below him. Due to this carries a naginata in order to defend himself from close range attackers. He feels like since he comes from a clan destroyed by Oda Nobunaga he has to do his best to show that in modern times his clan is still strong.

Samurai Name: Azai Nagamasa
Clan: Azai
History: Azai Nagamasa showed military prowess from a young age. While his father was the true clan head Nagamasa realized that under his father's aging influence the clan would fail. Thus, Nagamasa convinced a number of his father's retainers to politely ask his father to step down and let Nagamasa become lord of the province.
Upon becoming lord of his province Nagamasa became married to the younger sister of Oda Nobunaga, Oichi. The two of them had three famous daughters know for their beauty who ended up marrying three famous generals.
Eventually, however, due to Nobunaga attacking the Azai's allies the Asakura, Nagamasa went to war with the Oda. As the Oda surrounded his castle Nagamasa sent Oichi and the three daughters out to the Oda clan before dying in his castle as it burned to the ground.
Nagamasa went down in history as being famous for his love of Oichi and being a lord well loved by his people.
Sacred Item: Paper Charms A series of talismans made by the Azai clan after they became ceremony holders for other clans. Even before this, however, the Azai had also took ceremony and ritual to be very important. Thus, magica charms and prayers have always been a key part of their clan.
Activate Ability 1: Patch up Nobuyori Attaches a talisman to an injured person and they find their health being lightly recovered.
Activate Ability 2: Clan Barrier Nobuyori spreads three talismans in front of himself that take the shape of the Azai clan crest in order to black incoming attacks. Meant to only be used for one turn, but can be held up for a maximum of three rounds. Each extra round it is kept up adds to it's cooldown time.
Ability 2.5: Burst Talisman: A single talisman is released with lots of spiritual energy stored inside it. At will Nobu can activate the talisman, having it create a lightning burst of spiritual energy around itself before returning to him. He produce between one and three of these at once.
Activate Ability 3: Sacred Tiger: Nobu's talismans turn into a large paper beast, looking similar to a tiger. The beast runs, jumps, and pins an opponent before all of the talismans activate and make the beast explode in a pillar of blue flames.
Passive 1: Fast Retreat: Due to kyudo training and self preservation Nobuyori can retreat quicker than most people.
Passive 2: Sneaky Person Due to not being one for combat and constantly hoping to get a drop on the enemy Nobuyori is fairly good at hiding and sneaking about.
Overburst Color: Light Green
Overburst Attack: Gale of Seals: All of Nobuyori's seals flow out of his jacket and being encircling the enemy in order to make a large ball around them. The seals then begin all glowing a brilliant purple right before all of them explode releasing a large blast of energy all around the trapped enemy.

Support:
Azai Kazuki: Nobuyori's father. A man who is a descendant of an Azai branch family. His grandfather decided to revive the Azai name. In truth their bloodline is fairly muddled.
Azai Tomiko: Nobuyori's mother. A kind woman who works in a large building doing foreign trading.
Azai Kaori: Nobuyori's little sister. She goes to a normal school and shows no interest in things like military and government. She is a middle schooler with short brown hair and dark brown eyes. Tanned skin and a bright smile, she is one of the main people Nobuyori fights for.
History: Nobuyori's history isn't all that great compared to the rest of his family. His great grandfather, a descendant of an Azai branch family decided to revive the Azai name in this modern era. Since the Azai clan had been wiped out during the warring states period the men in this new Azai family have all gone to military academies in order to revive the Azai name and spread it through the country. Both Nobuyori's father and grandfather had done naval combat and thus, despite prefering ceremony and music, Nobuyori was often on boats during his childhood.
As a child he was often spoiled and given most things he wanted. This caused him to have a massive ego and a fairly large chip on his shoulder. However, upon finding out about his ego, his parents screamed at him and drilled into his head repeatedly that in fact allies were the most important thing in life. Having few friend in his childhood and still being anti-social Nobuyori now finds himself in his second year at Bugei Academy. Slowly he is learning to fight for and protect others. However, when it comes to actually being friends with them and having casual conversations he still seems repulsed by most other people. The only real exception being the local children. When Nobuyori first came to the academy the local Osaka children often asked him to help them get kites out of trees and teach them basic combat moves. Due to them always asking for his help, and not judging his weak family line and ego, Nobuyori has grown quite attached to them, and in fact the city of Osaka as a whole.
