Hashiba Motohisa
Hashiba Motohisa (a.k.a. The Lightning Blade)
Hashiba is a complex and compelling character who has walked a long and difficult path. Born into a family of great samurai, he was trained from a young age to follow the path of honor and duty. However, fate had other plans for him. After witnessing the corruption of his lord, Hashiba was forced to make a difficult choice: follow the samurai code and commit seppuku, or choose life as a dishonored ronin. He chose the latter, and in doing so, he was cursed with a heavy burden: no one around him could ever get a restful night's sleep.
Despite this curse, Hashiba refused to give up on his dreams of becoming a great swordsman. He traveled the land, honing his skills and learning from some of the best fighters in the world. Along the way, he faced many challenges and overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. He eventually developed the 8th stance of the Yoi-Shinka Sword Style, a feat that had eluded him for years. Finally, he began to build his legend as one of the greatest swordsmen in Ealathra.
Hashiba's story is one of redemption and resilience. He is a character who has made mistakes, but he has also learned from them and grown stronger. He is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and his journey is an inspiration to us all.

Early Life:
Hasiba was born for greatness hailing from a family of master swordsmen he was trained to be a samurai as soon as he was capable of holding a sword. The Motohisa family name had a heavy burden of all its members dying honorably in combat leaving Hashiba fatherless at the age of 10.
Running away from home for a period he came to the mountainside where he meet the bugbear Ishida Teruatsu, under his tutelage he learnt the Yoi-Shinka Sword Style techniques and style very few would know. Though he still was unable to perfect his own 8th stance. Eventually he returned home with his sense of duty calling to him.
Eventually, Hashiba came under the lordship of Horio Mochihira and became a full-fledged samurai. Though he was of a standard to most of his other samurai peers it did dawn on Hashiba that he was becoming stagnant and nowhere close to evolving the Yoi-Shinka Style. Eventually, his lord ordered him to strike down a peasant who stood in his path. This prompted Hashiba to slay his lord in a spit of rage. When the time came for Hashiba to do the honorable thing and commit seppuku he couldn't do it.
Turning his back on his honor then bestowed a curse upon Hashiba no more could anyone around him get a restful night’s sleep forcing him into a life of isolation. Eventually, he made his way to Akadance where he met the Dragonborn who gave him the resolve to carry on teaming up with the legendary Swordsman Nabith Hashiba finally developed the 8th stance and began building his legend around Ealathra slaying stronger and stronger foes.
