*|* Return To Innocence *|* -- The Jade Butterfly

Name: Inuyasha
Age: About 65-67,but he appears to be 17-18
Hair: in hanyou form white, with silver/blue highlights; in human form black, generally wild and tangled
Eyes: in hanyou form golden with slit pupils; in human form grey-violet, and in full demon form red with violet-slitted pupils
Appearance: Inuyasha, being a hanyou (half demon) has taloned hands, fangs and white dog ears on top of his head. He wears loose pants and a wide-sleeved Japanese coat that are made of the fur of a fire rat. They function as armor, turning aside normal swords but not most youkai weapons (or even claws or fangs).
Meaning of Name: "Inuyasha" is written with the kanji (ideograms) for "dog", "night" and "witch". "Yasha" actually means female demon or witch, but the name can be loosely translated as "dog-demon".
Impressions: Inuyasha is rash, loud-mouthed, headstrong and short-tempered, but also honest, emotional, devoted and loyal to a fault. He will trust his instincts rather than the voice of reason. He is the half-blooded son of a dog-demon father and a human mother, and his divided blood marks him deeply. Due to his outcast nature, he also has some heavy-duty issues about trusting people. He has had to live by strength all his life, and thus has some difficulty with letting his softer emotions to the fore. Ever since he met Kagome and the others, however, he has been slowly opening to friendship and caring.
Weapons & Attacks: Inuyasha's general strategy seems to be "hack at it until it doesn't move any more". He has barehanded combat down to an art, however, and as the series progresses; he becomes frighteningly effective with his heirloom sword, the Tetsusaiga. In addition, he has superhuman speed and strength, as well as the regenerative abilities of a youkai, so he heals from seemingly fatal injuries at an amazing rate.
Sankon Tetsusou ("Soul Scattering Iron Claw", or "Claws of Steel"): A barehanded attack that can be anything from blades of ki to simply tearing up an opponent.
Hijin Ketsusou ("Airborne Blood Blade Claw" or "Claws of Blood"): Inuyasha uses his own blood to form blades to hurl at his enemies. Pretty damn cool, if you ask me.
The Tetsusaiga ("Steel-Cleaving Fang"): This is a magical blade forged of Inuyasha's father's fang. It normally looks like a pretty rusty and notched Japanese sword, but in Inuyasha's hands it takes on its true form, that of a huge, fang-like blade.
Kaze no Kizu ("The Cutting Wind"): This is a special attack of the Tetsusaiga with which the wielder can "cut down a hundred youkai in one swing". This is accomplished by aiming a strike at the collision point of the youki (demon energy) of the wielder and his opponent, and thus turning the youki full-force at the opponent.
Bakuryuuha: The ougi (succession technique) of the Tetsusaiga, this is a variation of the Kaze no Kizu that takes further the idea of turning the opponent's youki on him by enveloping the opponent's youki in the Kaze no Kizu. A pretty sure-fire way to blast away most youkai.
Things of Note: Being a hanyou, Inuyasha loses his demon powers periodically, namely on the night of the new moon. He then turns into a human in every aspect, and remains that way from dusk to dawn. He has a full youkai form, too, but because of his hybrid blood he cannot control himself while transformed into that form, and has thus far only gone on killing rampages on these occasions. The Tetsusaiga acts as a seal on his demon powers, so he better not lose the sword... He also wears a prayer bead necklace around his neck, imbued with a subduing spell that causes him to splat to the ground whenever Kagome says "Sit!" ("Osuwari!").
Love Life: Well, Inuyasha fell for Kagome pretty early on (duh...) and his feelings seem to have got stronger, if anything. However, he seems to have fallen for every damn girl in the palace,so...he seems to be unable to decide between them all.But Caro's relationship with him is undoubtfully the strongest.

Sighing, he shakes his head sadly, but knowing Rhosyn was a cunning gal, she could handel it. Turns back to the client and continues speaking with them
