Name: Katsu Kaishuu Profession: Anything available (Jack of all Trades) Age: 17 Race: 1/2 Human, 1/2 unknown Description: Around 5' 11", he often wears his sunglasses and a dark trenchcoat (honestly, do my characters wear anything else?). One side of his dark dress shirt is tucked in at all times, the other always out. It appears slightly faded and a little wrinkled, but it doesn't seem to bother him. His eyes are odd, one emerald green and one crystal blue, a fairly unusual trait which he believes comes from his unhuman side. His hair is dark black and comes down around his eyes. He appears slight under his baggy attire, but certainly has some muscle. Emotional description: Generally a dark presence, head always hung low, hair in his eyes. Fairly quiet and kept to himself. He speaks only when he has no other choice and will often just return stares instead of answering. However, in moments of extreme rage or fear, he is known to change his quiet attitude into a furious onslaught of violence. As such, his is generally a loner. History: His father, a man he has never met, was not human. To this day he is still unsure what his other half is that does not affect his appearance or manner. After his mother was murdered by a random thug when he was only 8, he was "adopted" into a band of street rogues. This band lied, cheated, and stole from nearly everyone in his hometown. They made sure he could fight, and fight well, as well as move silently for spy work. At age 10, there wasn't a fighter in the group he couldn't beat. But not long after he learned of the true face of the band: Murder and deceit, not to mention ordering the hit on his mother. They had wanted him for the unhuman locked within, and had hoped the fights would bring him out. He became withdrawn and spoke little, refused to do the jobs they gave him. At that time, he had already given enough information (on rival gangs) to the rogues that they no longer needed him. They sent a group of 8 mercenaries, expert assassins, to kill him. With only one cut on him, all eight were knocked out in minutes. Disgusted with his life, he left his planet of Telos for that of the Tiershaa capital. For the next three years, he practiced what he had learned from the rogues, and became a hired fighter, one of the first times he enjoyed what he did in his whole life. For the first time, he was able to keep a smile on his face. One year ago, however, he stopped, with no explanation as to why. The smile faded into a dark, brooding demeanor, and has remained that way since. Strengths: A strong fist fighter, Kaishuu is agile and swift. Though his blows don't have the hardest hit behind them, he can likely land enough so that it won't matter. Also good with swords. Weaknesses: Whatever happened one year ago as a fighter, it scarred the man for the rest of his life. Of the few who do know what happened, it only takes one mention of the incident to put him into a shuddering trance, quite dangerous for a fighter. Because he is not physically tough, one solid hit could bring him down, so he relies on agility. uber crap. i totally apoligize again. [ editted by admin for legiblity (spaced paragraphs more) ] |

affiliation? also, you say it was a "band of street rogues" yet they hired a group of 8 "expert" mercenaries to kill him. My main problem with that is that this group seems more like the mafia than how you described them. If this is so then okay. Another problem is this: at 10 years old he defeated 8 adult, trained assassins? Very tough to swallow, but I suppose I could see how this is possible (in theory) due to his not-entirely human blood. Explain this better maybe and it should be fine. Was he 10 at this point, or had he gotten older? BTW: If it helps you weave the history together more realistically, add 6-10 years to his age; that will allow you to space out the events in his life better. If you really want him to be 17 then I guess that's your choice, but there's nothing wrong with being older ( Falcone is in the thousands, remember ;) ). thank you for your continued support (now go register on the critical failure forums and show support there! >.<) |

well, think of them like the hishi-manji guren gang from early kenshin. kinda mafia like, but with nothing to lose. I haven't decided what his other half is, but it's a deadly fighting type. had he been full of that species, there wouldn't even be bodies left. er, he was 13 when they decided he was unneeded, then 3 years fighting, and one year brooding ^^ oooh! cf forums! shirt guy boots! ^^ j/k but i'll see. what sorta name should i use? |
