Silent Tides

               

Name: Inuyasha

Age: 200+ (Including when he was pinned to the tree)  There is also a rumor that Rumiko Takahashi, creator of InuYasha, had said InuYasha was 16 years old, and another rumor that she said he was 17 years old. I haven't found anywhere or anybody to confirm this, but even if it is true, she could have been referring to his mental age, and not his physical age. Since he's half demon, he most likely ages differently that humans. Then someone also mentioned that an all-exclusive member's newsletter from Takahashi's anime studio listed InuYasha as being 252 years old.

Species: Half Dog Demon

Family: Decised Mother and Father.  Half Brother, Shesshomaru.

Love:Kagome & Kikyo

Weapon:Tetsaiga, Claws, Fists.

Summary: Inu-Yasha is a half-human, half-demon that eventually works with Kagome to help collect all the shards of the Shikon Jewel. He wants the Shikon Jewel so that he can use it to become full youkai.

)His sword is called Tetsusaiga, which was made from his father's fang. Inu-Yasha sometimes acts like a jerk, but it's only because he is hiding his own insecurities and bad memories.

 The meaning of his name broke down as dog (inu) and forest spirit (yasha).

 

Name: Kagome Higurashi

Age: 15

Species:Human/Priestess

Family: Mother, Grandfather, Little brother:Souta

Love:Inuyasha

Weapon:Bow and Arrows, Spiratual powers not yet discovered, Able to see Jewel shards.

Summary: Kagome is the reincarnation of a priestess of Inuyasha's time named Kikyou. At first she and Inuyasha didn't get along because his memories of Kikyou got in the way. As they continued searching for the Shikon Jewel they began to develop feelings for each other, but of course neither would admit it.

Name: Sango

Age: 18

Species:Human/Demon Slayer

Family: Little Brother Kohaku

Love:Miroku *Kinda^-^*

Weapon:Giant Boomerang. Sword, Hidden blade on her right arm.

Summary: Sango's village did consists of a large group of Youkai exterminators led by Sango's father. The best Taijiya  were called to a castle to exterminate a spider demon. The lord of the manor (whom is really Naraku) takes control of Sango's brother. Her brother, Kohoku kills all of the other Taijiya, but is killed by archers before he can kill Sango. Sango is wounded by the archers because they think she's going insane.

Sango's weapon is Hiraikotsu (giant boomerang)

Name:Miroku

Age: 20

Species:Human/Perverted Monk

Family: None

Love:Sango *Mostly* and any other gurl he sets his eyes on or hands. *Lol*

Weapon:Wind Void in his right hand. Staff, Sutras.

Summary: Miroku's everything a monk shouldn't be. He's a real skirt-chaser, and asks every beautiful woman he meets if she'll bear his children.

His father was cursed by Naraku with a hole in his right palm which acts as a vacuum, sucking up everything in it's way. Since the air void eventually sucks in the person who carries it, and since everyone descending from his father will carry the void until Naraku is destroyed.

Miroku joins Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo after discovering that they all have a similar goal: to find Naraku and defeat him. Plus, they already have some Shikon Jewel fragments in their possession. Being a lecherous monk, he spends a lot of his time feeling up on Sango and on occasions, Kagome, and asking various women to bear his child.

Name:Shippo

Age: Near 50

Species:Full fox Demon/Cutie

Family: Dead Father

Love:No one in perticular

Weapon:Fox fire, and toys.

Summary: 

Shippo is a little fox demon that used to live in the hills, but came across Inuyasha and Kagome in their quest for the Shikon Jewel.

Even though Shippo looks like he's about 5 years old, he's actually closer to 50 years old. Demon's age a lot slower than humans. In episode 75, when the group are listening to the story of when the cat demons attacked (which happened about 50 years before), Shippo says he doesn't remember it, and InuYasha says of course he wouldn't because he would have been a little baby at the time.

 

 

Name:Shesshomaru

Age: Over 900 yrs

Species:Full Dog Demon

Family: Half Brother Inuyasha

Love:No one

Weapon:Tokijen, Claws, and Full demon.

Summary: Sesshoumaru is Inuyasha's older brother. He appears to be very cold and emotionless. Emotions are difficult for him, but his own journey (originally to hunt and kill Inu) will have very special plans for him.

He, too, possesses a sword given by his late father: this one forged from the other fang. It's known as Tenseiga, and there is an odd twist to it. Whereas Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga can slay 100 demons in a single swing, Tenseiga's stroke can save 100 souls. It is a sword of life rather than death, and the cold Sesshomaru finds the sword to be quite worthless.

Name:Kikyo

Age: 17 (Not including when she was dead)

Species:Human/Priestess/Dead

Family: Younger Sister, Kaede

Love:Inuyasha

Weapon:Bow & Arrows, and Spiritual Powers.

Summary: Kikyou is a priestess. She is a very powerful Miko with incredible archery skills. She once guarded the Shikon no Tama and maintained its purity. Demons from all over tried to steal the jewel from her, but she killed them all. Until one day, a half-demon named Inuyasha tried to take it from her in order to become a full demon. She refused to kill him because he was half-human. So instead, he followed her around, and before anyone knew it, they had fallen in love.

But things did NOT go as planned. An evil, shape-shifting demon named Naraku took on the form of Inu. He approached Kikyou and struck her down. Of course Kikyou didn't know that it wasn't really Inu so she died hating him for "betraying" her. Then Naraku convinced Inuyasha to break into Kikyou's village and steal the Shikon Jewel. Kikyou, bloodied and bruised, caught up with Inuyasha, and with her last ounce of strength, she used her Enchanted Arrow to "kill" him, and she told her younger sister, Kaede to burn the Shikon with her body.
