➤ Character
Name: Tsurumaru Kuninaga
Canon: Touken Ranbu
Canon Point: Special Investigation: Keichou Kumamoto
Age: 1000+, appears to be in his mid-20s

History: Character Wiki where he alludes to some of his history in translated lines but it doesn't really go into depth so I'll write it up using some popular information posts.
Tsurumaru is a tsukumogami-- a minor kami of a tool. Specifically, he's the spirit of a sword. Forged in the Heian Era, the sword was (and still is) considered to be incredibly beautiful. He was named Tsurumaru which means "crane" in the hope of bringing good fortune to his owners. The crane is traditionally a symbol for good health, loyalty, and general good luck.

His first owner was a child lord of the powerful Adachi clan. They were a vassal family for the ruling Hojo clan at the time but the Hojo, fearing the Adachi might overthrow them some day, ordered the entire clan exterminated in an event that would be called the Shimotsuki incident. Tsurumaru was buried with his young master but unfortunately for the spirit, the head of the Hojo clan had been captivated by the treasured sword and ordered for it to be dug up so he could have it. To this day, Tsurumaru still hates grave robbers and makes quippy remarks about the incident.

As the treasured sword of the family that had murdered his first family, Tsurumaru was again expected to bring good fortune to the family but after only a few generations, the Hojo had amassed so many enemies, it was only a matter of time before they were violently overthrown by the Ashikaga family which would establish a new era. Once more, Tsurumaru found himself shifting to the ownership of another family that had killed his previous.

From there, he was passed around from owner to owner. He briefly ended up in Oda Nobunaga's collection and was awarded to a loyal retainer before he disappeared from history again.

Tsurumaru resurfaced at the Fuji no Mori Shrine in Kyoto as an offering to the gods. He had a brief stint at the shrine as a divine sword but a wealthy merchant saw the sword on display and decided to take it. From then on, Tsurumaru hated people who stole from shrines and would also make jabs about them in the future.

The merchant family sold Tsurumaru to the Date family in Sendai and it's here that Tsurumaru's historical record becomes much more clear. The family was known for taking good care of their treasures but it fell on hard times and had to sell many of their possessions. However, they held onto Tsurumaru until they decided to offer it up to the emperor. From then on, Tsurumaru found rest in the imperial collection.

Fast forward to the year 2205 when an unspecified crisis hits Japan and the government enlists the help of saniwa sages who have the ability to summon spirits from famous swords. Tsurumaru is summoned, given a human form, and tasked with traveling back in time with other spirits like him to protect history from an army of evil sword spirits that are trying to change history.

Along the way, he reunites with other swords he's crossed paths with and while he's revisited familiar time periods and locations, he's never had to revisit a place that has a personal or deep connection to his past.

Game mechanics make it so he could potentially go to any of the time periods with any other character but within the game canon, he seems to have a special relationship with the other Date clan swords. He also mentions going on assignment with Sayo and Kasen which is a shout out to another version of canon where Tsurumaru goes on an assignment with Sayo, Kasen, and the other Date swords. The conversation in game is left vague and generic enough that it could just be a regular conversation on an ordinary assignment and I personally roll with this interpretation to keep from mixing canons.

Personality:
+ Reliable. Tsurumaru is described as a character that rarely breaks his calm. As a result, others can rely on him even in difficult situations. His cool-headedness stems from being over a thousand years old and having experienced many different battles and scenarios. Largely, he prefers to stay hands off and let others stumble around and grow on their own but when it's necessary, he'll step up and take action or say what needs to be said. Like the crane, he's also known for his loyalty and you can always count on him to protect, follow, and support you… even to the grave.
+ Kind As soon as he's summoned, he introduces himself in a friendly and casual manner. He can be an absolute menace and his love for surprises can be troublesome at times but he never troubles anyone ever out of malice. He's always just trying to have a good time and share his joy with others. He often thinks of others, is quick to share stories when returning from assignments, greet newcomers, help those in need, and make others smile.
+ Confident Tsurumaru is very confident and proud. Besides being a strong and experienced swordsman, he's also very aware of his value. He knows he's a beautiful sword and he knows that he's both coveted and treasured. He also know that his human form, likewise, is also very attractive and he cares greatly about his appearance. He also loves his namesake and is quick to brag about how he's like a crane and what a beautiful and impressive thing that is.
~ Loyal Tsurumaru's name mean's "crane" and he does his best to live up to the name. The crane is a symbol that represents loyalty and it reflects in his personality. Even if he doesn't understand a mission, he trusts the saniwa and the assigned leaders without argument. He's also willing to throw himself into dangerous situations without hesitating if it means protecting his allies. In the end, he considers it worth it if his friends are safe and he'll laugh off any damage that happens to him. Yes, he maintains a certain level of distance... but he's still incredibly loyal to all of them. While largely an asset, it’s also a bane because Tsurumaru’s intense loyalty leads to his inability to let go and move on from the past.
- Chaotic Tsurumaru loves surprises, even if it comes at the expense of others. He has a chaotic energy that can make him exhausting and troublesome to deal with. He's considered to be a "serial menace" and a "repeat offender" at the citadel. At his absolute worst, his personality can shift dramatically and suddenly in battle going from a cheerful and carefree spirit to one with little self regard and intense bloodlust.
- Distant Tying a little into both his cool and chaotic personalities, Tsurumaru is an old spirit who has endured tragedy through much of his existence. His spirit is deeply traumatized by some of the events in his life and while he is friendly and kind, he always maintains a certain level of distance. Tragedy follows him and he's been passed around so many times and had so many masters die on him, he doesn't really expect things to last. He can be flippant and vague and every now and then, he might make pretty cool/cold remarks casually especially about heavy topics like violence and death.

Abilities:
→ Combat, he's a natural swordsman. While he isn't actually the strongest sword in the game (he's one of the weaker ones, even), within canon, he's described as being very dependable and the type of person you can be relieved rely on.
→ He has two forms! There's his human form which was summoned by the saniwa. Since he isn't really human, it's generally accepted that he can take more hits than the average human and heal a little faster but otherwise, nothing special― he still bleeds, can still get sick, needs to eat, etc. His other form is his true form and is the sword he always keeps on him. Damage to his sword reflects on his human form and needs to be repaired. If it breaks, he dies.
→ He isn't human! He's technically a spirit that now also has a human form. Canon is vague but it's accepted that this means he's naturally stronger and has greater stamina than the average human to handle the supernatural missions he goes on. His body is still human though and can get sick, hungry, injured, etc.
→ Sakura fubuki? When his condition is good, cherry blossoms appear around him. He can generally fight better when this happens but it's mostly aesthetic. It's vague and seems to usually only come up in canon for special effect but its harmless and fun to play with.
→ Vague spirit sense and shenanigans, it's really vague but it's hinted that they can sense some spirits when they're nearby. I usually don't do much with this but it's worth mentioning because it comes up sometimes.
→ → It's not fully explained in the game but it's strongly hinted that the spirits can become corrupt versions of themselves and become the very enemies they've dedicated themselves to fighting. It's suggested that this happens if they give into despair or decide they don't need their hearts/emotions anymore. This gets confirmed and elaborated more across other versions of canon but the game is still a little vague with their flavor text (see: map captions).

Inventory: His true form, the tachi/long sword, Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

Vision: Cryo
Reason: Tsurumaru is a character whose history is tied closely with tragedy and death. In particular, the death of his first master is something he still holds very close to him despite it happening over a thousand years ago. He still holds a grudge against those who dug up the grave and took him away from his resting place and mentions graverobbers being unforgivable people. The theme continues through out his history-- he's passed around from family to family, often after some sort of tragedy occurs. When he finally finds a place to rest, he's passed along or taken. He can't keep his loyalty or his sense of peace and that, in turns, results in him carrying all of his grief and loss with him and makes him distant and flighty. Despite this, given his nature, he wants to devote himself to someone or something and he wants to be good.
Role: Offensive, preferably at the frontline. Let him be stained in the blood of his enemies. What he lacks in strength, he makes up for with skill. I could see him having attacks that have status effects just to heck with his opponents/make him annoying to fight so I guess he could technically be support too.
Constellation: A crane
