✖ CHARACTER:
Name: Mitsunari Ishida
Canon: Sengoku BASARA 3
PB/Image: he's truly a hottie ok
Info links: Sengoku BASARA wiki
Canon Point: Red Route, post Itsukushima
Gender & Sex: Male, both physically and mentally
Age: Never stated, but appears to be around 20.
Birthdate/Sign: November 11, Scorpio.
Mitsunari fits both the positives and negatives of the Scorpio sign— or at least, what would be positive traits if they weren't so tempered by the driving force of his bad ones. He approaches every task he's faced with a great amount of intensity, even if it's just something like getting on a zipline. He's also certainly an emotional and passionate guy, even if it's directed to possibly negative places. Even if he isn't controlled like Scorpios are usually described, he still fits the overall profile of a Scorpio besides that, especially in the negatives. He's incredibly obsessive, over both Ieyasu and Hideyoshi. And when he is obsessive enough over someone in a negative way (like Ieyasu), it isn't hard to interpret his actions as somewhat sadistic, either. And he's obstinate, certainly, to a self-endangering extent.
Tattoo: Three inches on the inside of his left thigh
Suitability: Not applicable.
Power: Mitsunari has a flash-step move, which allows for really short range teleportation. This will be his starting power, although upon entry it will be basically useless.
Although his moveset is based on the "shadow element", the source of his elemental attacks are the weapons themselves, and not so much anything that he has himself. His high speed, which is probably the most unique part of his fight style, will also be reduced (although still a little higher than a normal person).
Personality: If there's one talent Mitsunari Ishida has, it's not being able to let go of the past. At the opening of his routes in Sengoku Basara 3, we see him discovering the body of the lord he served, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and the man responsible for killing him, Ieyasu Tokugawa. And we never forget, at any point in Mitsunari's routes, that Ieyasu is the one responsible for this, because Mitsunari will not hesitate to mention it at any chance he gets to. His thirst for revenge for Hideyoshi's death is what drives forward, what drives him to gain allies (mostly unsuccessfully) and to fight at all. He has no interest in unification, at least not until after he succeeds in killing Ieyasu (and that's only on his blue route, which he is not being taken from). He shows very little interest in any sort of personal gain at all and in fact, one of his quotes upon picking up health items in game is "I don't need this". All he cares about is "justice" for Hideyoshi's death.
As a result, he isn't all that aware of what he is, or of how he comes off to others. When Motonari asks him where "all that rage comes from" after they fight at Itsukushima, his only answer is "I don't know what you're talking about." He's almost oblivious to how the world really works, because his focus is so narrow. He's aware of his title as the "Dark King", but he doesn't think of himself as a villain or as in the wrong— he sees everyone else, everyone who allies with Ieyasu or betrays his own trust as the villain. He's even physically oblivious to blood on his clothes, and even when Yoshitsugu considers telling him to try to clean up, he gives up on trying to get him to do it, because he understands that Mitsunari just doesn't care.
Because the worst thing you can do to Mitsunari is betray him. This is most evident with Ieyasu, of course, but even with Hideaki, he actually reacts the worst of all. Or anyone else who promises him fealty and then decides to turn against him. What he doesn't seem to understand is how to make people more loyal to him. He thinks that they will simply understand his cause as soon as he states it, and everyone will basically come running to follow him. And when he leaves the dirty work of persuading people to his cause (since he really isn't good at talking smooth), those people end up feeling cheated and leave him anyways.
But when his plans go off track, or are completed, so much of the time he ends up completely breaking down. When Yoshitsugu is killed on stages like "Sekigahara - Betrayal", Mitsunari reacts by essentially screaming that he cannot die. Because as much as Mitsunari says he doesn't depend on anyone else, he desperately needs Yoshitsugu to help guide him anywhere (even if Yoshitsugu isn't guiding him any place good). Even if a player character destroys the Death Carriage, which belonged to Hideyoshi, Mitsunari is extremely upset that something that his valued lord had built. At the end of his red route, beyond the point where he's being taken from, when he finally succeeds in killing Ieyasu, he breaks down completely and utterly. Without Ieyasu to hate, he loses any sort of direction he has. But when Magoichi kills Ieyasu, in her route, we see something else from him. When people do keep their word to him, through the end, he doesn't actually give much in the way of positive feedback— except for the offer of another contract. Mostly, he doesn't know how to deal with other people in a positive way. All he knows is how to fight, and how to be angry, and how to mourn, in his own, rather screwed up way.

[ The screen is completely black. The person operating it doesn't seem to know how to use it, nor does he have enough curiosity, apparently, to find out. ]
—Completely useless, just like everything else I've found in this wretched place thus far. I have no interest in the compliments that letter gave me. Compliments do nothing— they're just empty pretty words, and I will have none of it.
So would the coward that wrote it come forward? I don't have the time for this— I have no interest in whatever idealistic mission they thinks we're all interested in. I knew someone else that thought they were helping the world, but they were just trying to save face for themself and their shame! And you are the same! Anyone who has fallen for those pretty words and the assurance that we're helping people are just imbecilic. Join me instead and return to whatever purpose you had—
Or join me in mine.

These were the last words that Mitsunari remembered hearing there, after finally defeating Motonari at Itsukushima. The last words he heard before he blinked as he sheathed his sword again, and by the time he had opened them, he was no longer at Itsukushima. As to where he actually was, it looked almost like some sort of shrine. The kind of place that Mitsunari had no reason to visit, had no reason to be interested in, at all. But it was only a minor inconvenience. It's not as if he had anything more to say to Motonari Mouri, anyways. As long as he could find Yoshitsugu again—
He wasn't here. Well at least not in his immediate vicinity. He was almost tempted to call out his name, but he didn't want to stoop to that level. He would find him, he just had to search. So he set forward, not really noticing where he was going. Not really noticing the pedestal he was approaching and barely even caring that his feet got a little bit wet—
Even the prick in his thigh wasn't enough to stop him from moving forward, he could deal with pain like that. He'd dealt with more before, he'd be dealing with more in the future, he had to carry around the weight of Hideyoshi's death, after all— But he couldn't move. He couldn't get beyond that strange wall of water until he—
Well, what, exactly? He didn't have the time for whatever warlord had decided to play this illusory trick on him. His naked body reflected back toward him barely registered in his brain. All he cared about was his search, all he cared about was finding out where he was.
He looked around again— and there on that stupid pedestal, there seemed to be an answer. A letter, and some sort of strange device. He was tempted to destroy them both, right there. He had no interest in what someone else had to say to him, what someone else wanted to persuade him into. But that was the only key, and even Mitsunari wasn't so focused on trying to find Yoshitsugu that he couldn't realize that. So he picked up the letter, giving it a cursory glance before he noticed that the water had receded.
Not a word of it had really sunk in yet. All he cared about was that he could continue.
