Age:25
Weight:156
height: 5'9"
Hair color: black
Eyes: Black
Build: lean Muscle structure
Facial feature: Thin Goatee
Equipment: Family sword (named Shidarezakura), Lose flowing pants, cotton shirt (black w/ family crest) Black overcoat.
"side bag" containing basic first aid gear, Sword matianence kit, small portion of died fruit and jerky.
A small hunting bow (little use in actual combat but still dangerous) 25 arrows, small knife and a water skin.
Basic Description: Rei Sanada Comes from an eastern continent, he excels in martial arts from his home land. His primary weapon is a sword (closest match wold be a katana), however he has some basic knowledge of archery and spear use. Rei would look like what we would call a samurai. He comes from a warrior tradition and has advanced fighting skill, and basic survival training. His mother died when he was thirteen, know for her proficiency as a doctor, she taught Rei a good deal of natural medicine, just enough for survival in the wild.
Brief History: The full moon peered into the temple window, casting an eerie glow over the statues near the alter in the back, the scent of incense laid heavy in the air, Rei had just finished meditating on a dream of his past.
"Master, what shall we do? there are goblins attacking our village! our fighters are strong, but there are too many of them for us to hold out against"
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF BOY! It is not fitting for a warrior to fear such foul creatures, go with the guard, Get the women and children to the stronghold to the north, we stand a better chance there"
*CRASH* (the wall is smashed down, five goblins pour through the hole)
"Master, look out!"
"NEVER MIND ME! you have your task, protect our people!"
*as the goblin hoard was about to strike down the Master of the village there was a blinding flash, three of the five goblins lay motionless in a pool of their thick blood. A dark warrior stands as a shadow against the moonlight, his beautifully curved blade gleaming red in the light*
"Rei! you've returned just in time! The village cannot stand much longer, we're leaving for the strong hold to the north! Now go, get all the people you can and flee!"
" I understand my lord, fare well, may we meet in the morning"
*with that Rei tore off into the chaos, slaying as many of the enemy as he could, as he turned a corner, he saw his father, badly wounded holding his little sister Setsuna, she was not moving.*
"Father what has happened here?"
"The Goblins came, they killed your brothers, I tried to save your sister, but they overwhelmed me. My son, my final hour is here, I'm not long for this world, take our family's sword, the ancient blade from the warlords age, Shidarezakura, leave me here, I'll hold them off. Never forget what you saw tonight! go to the west, tell them of what is happening to our lands, we need to band together, all humans, to stop this evil onslaught."
"Father, I will never forget you, or any of my people, these beats will pay tenfold for this carnage they cause here tonight! I swear it to you!"
*as the sunlight rose into the sky, the survivors gathered around the Master of the village. Coming up the hill, covered in blood and gore, Rei walked into the strong hold, and said*
"Master, we are a proud race, we are a race of warriors, however, we are in need of aid. Our countrymen are being butchered daily, and our homes are in ruin, please, grant me permission to journey to the west, and ask help of the foreign kings!"
"Rei, you are right, our people are loosing this war, we cannot hold out much longer. I give you my blessing, tomorrow, you will leave, and travel west, seek aid from the kings of the western lands"
*As Rei finished reflecting on that day, he stood, and look at the night sky through the temple window*
"Its been a year since that day, I've come so far, but I still have many miles to cover, wait for me everyone! On my honor, I'll bring aid to you all, just please, wait a little longer!"
*with that he pulled out his map that he obtained from the local monks, now, the first city is to the south, what a an odd country this place is, this, Theramore....*
So I'm not sure if that is a good back story, or a good character (again, new to this) hope it is....as for an image, I'll post a relative Idea, but I never really work on his design...
this image is somewhat how I imagine him...(not my own work, this character is from ruroni keshin by noboru watasuki Sp?) I'm just posting this to give a basic Idea of his appearance....
again, NOT trying to steal other peoples work
