Suzaku

About
One of Xavier's four apostles. He goes by the name Gigai, but Suzaku is his true name. He is sealed within  Nanjou Ran  who uses his power until he breaks free.

A shirtless homosexual male with featherlike hair. He goes alone to fight Rance when he hears that he is strong. He becomes obssessed with Rance and falls madly in love with him when he meets him. He is supposedly killed when Rance tricks him into not transforming, or when Rance orders Houjou Souun to fight him. His true form, Suzaku, appears to be a bird-like creature made simply of fire.

In Rance Quest, it was revealed that Gigai is capable of reviving every time it's killed, like a Phoenix, but he swaps gender as well, alternating between male and female every time. This means that Gigai isn't actually neither a man or a woman. Regardless of this, his/her love for Rance carries on.

Personality and Appearance
Gigai always dresses the same way regardless of what gender he or she is at the time. S/he is always shirtless and with a pair of dark red trousers. S/he also has some barlike tattos of the same dark red color printed all over his/her body. S/he also has very noticeable eyes, with reddish eyeballs and glowing yellow pupil. His/her skin is also orange, with a much stronger tone than that of a typical human.

S/he is usually a pretty serene individual. S/he never gets mad and is pretty friendly. S/he was perfectly okay with lending his/her power to Nanjou Ran while sealed and established a pretty solid relationship with her. S/he also is pretty respectful and polite with others, and is very honest. S/he also never goes back on his/her word. When Rance betted a date if Gigai managed to defeat him in a 1v1 without transforming, s/he didn't transform even after Rance broke his part of the deal and outnumbered him with several allies. S/he is also very fervent and heartfelt all the time.

Gigai loves fighting strong opponents and testing his strength. Rance and battling are probably his two greatest loves and is extremely passional when fighting. S/he is also a pretty nice individual since, aside from Ran(who could not be avoided), Gigai prefered to not kill his opponents if s/he could avoid it.

S/he is also very loose, and prefers to leave and do his/her own thing. S/he's loyal to Xavier and follows all his orders, but s/he prefers to just leave and fight strong opponents on his/her own, which Xavier allows him/her to do freely.

Abilities
Gigai is an extremely powerful Apostle. S/he mostly fights barehanded and with fire attacks, often imbued with his/her fists. His/her strikes are as fast as heavy, and few humans could pull a decent fight against him/her.

Like all of Xavier's apostles, s/he has a true form much powerful than his/her standard form. It takes the shape of a strange bird flaming in fire and with a massive claw. In this form, Gigai is obscene powerful, being able to vaporize entire armies with one clean and flashing strike. Despite being only an Apostle his/her strength in his true form is comparable to that of a mid-tier  Dark Lord. In Sengoku Rance, no commander that Rance sent would survive in an encounter against Suzaku except Kentarou Ogawa, who would only survive and tie due to the invincibility field.

His/her most impressive ability is his/her abilility to revive every time s/he dies, resurrecting like the legendary phoenix every time. This means that no-one is capable of fully killing him/her, except the Gods, at least not through any means known.

Trivia

 * He is named as the "Homo Fire Bird" by Rance after the first encounter.
 * Technically, Suzaku isn't homosexual, since s/he doesn't have a real gender. Or at least one can only say that s/he is only homosexual half the time.
 * Suzaku is the japanese name used to refer to one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese Constellations in Chinese mythology. Suzaku represents the fire element and is described as a red firing bird, like a Phoenix.
 * While unconfirmed, based on his/her feats, it's safe to say that Suzaku is the strongest Apostle, even without his/her resurrecting ability.
 * S/he is the only one of Xavier's group of Apostles to survive through the events of Sengoku Rance.
