Tell me if anything is wrong. I am assuming that Haru Kako has been in charge for 5 years, since the death of Hika Mirai. Also, I read Japanese name's with the family name being last (so Kenji Uesumi's family name is Uesumi). But I know some people would have read it as Uesumi Kenji. How do you read it Deth? Also, I want my character to remain unaffiliated for the time being, until I get a feel for what's really going on in the RP.
Name: Kenji Uesumi ("Ronin")
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Alliance: Ronin (unaffiliated)
Appearance: Kenji is a man of average height and weight, and has an athletically-built body from years of training and experience. He has fair skin, dark brown eyes, and black hair hair. His hair is long, reaching down to his mid-back, but he keep it pulled up in a pony-tail. Kenji maintains a calm posture and demeanor, his face stoic and cold, but also mysterious.
Clothing: Kenji wears an old, worn-out, dirty white kimono with tattered sleeves. He also wears an old, royal-red, tattered hakama. He also wears a traveling bag for which to carry things in. Finally, his only piece of apparel is a brand new sash, red in color, tied around his waist.
Items/Weapons: Kenji carries the traditional sword of the samurai, a katana. The katana is long at 70 centimeters, is lightweight, and has obviously been used quite a bit before. Nevertheless, Kenji has kept the blade and hilt polished and sharpened. Kenji calls the sword 'the Redeemer' and keeps it sheathed on his left hip. Kenji also carries a yumi bow, most often slung over one of his shoulders, as well as a quiver of arrows. Finally, he carries a small cutting knife for which to cut things.
Skills: Kenji is a master swordsman, having been trained in the way of the samurai. He is also an experienced archer, but only resorts to ranged offense when absolutely necessary. In recent years, Kenji has become a 'survivalist', being able to roam and survive in the wilderness.
Spells/Abilities: Kenji does not know many magical spells, but his ability of Concentration is one of note. So long as Kenji has time to meditate and clear his mind before battle, he enters a state of intense concentration. He becomes one with the battlefield, completely devoid of distractions and his accuracy with both bow and blade become unparalleled and nearly flawless.
Personality: Kenji is a man of virtue and honor above all else. He is devoted to loyalty, integrity, and honesty. He believes this is how all samurai - and all men for that matter - should be. He sees the world in three scopes: the good, the innocent, and the bad. He believes the good must protect the innocent, and together they must prevail over the bad. Kenji is also a man of patience, freedom, and respect, and believes all those who are born are free to choose their own path, which often conflicts with his three-scope rule.
History: Kenji was born to a noble family and given the noble name Uesumi. His family was revered and highly respected during the reign of Haru Kako. As was destined for many samurai families, Kenji entered schools and academies that trained him in the way of the samurai. He became a gifted and well-respected samurai, a shining pupil in the eyes of his master. Kenji devoted himself to a life of loyalty and nobility, intending to serve the good shogun, Haru Kako, as best he could.
Unfortunately, at the age of 25, Kenji received the news that Haru Kako had died. Feeling as if something was amiss, Kenji worked to find an answer, but his efforts was short-lived when Hika Mirai, the new shogun, sent assassins to murder Kenji and his family. Fortunately, Kenji was away, but his family suffered a tragic end at the hands of the assassins. Now a wanted criminal and broken man, Kenji fled the populated areas and lived as a hermit in the wilderness for a year. It was there here unlocked his ability of Concentration, becoming one with himself. He had reached zen.
Coming out of the forests, Kenji acted as a roaming ronin, protecting the weak and serving the innocent. His selfless endeavors and reclusive nature earned him the name nickname 'Ronin', as per his occupation. Ronin continued traveling and serving the people, now under the iron-fisted rule of Haru Kako. He worked many times, in secret, against the operations of Hika Mirai. It is now a dark time of revolution and invasion, and Ronin has come out of hiding, committing himself as Kenji Uesumi, and will do whatever he can to bring about the downfall of Hika Mirai, as well as protect and serve the people of Tennotochi.
