Character's Name: Nahtanoj
Character's Age: 24
Gender: Male
Race/Class: Samurai
Character's History/Background(be as detailed as possible): Before the human and shinobi war. Nahtanoj was a young man that was born into poverty. Himself and all his friends were poor and couldn't afford much and were orphans ontop of that. With no one to look after them, they stuck together and grew up with each other. Nahtanoj was the oldest of the group and thus looked after them and defended them the best that he could.
It was one day several years before the war would begin, that a certain samurai by the name of Isao appeared before him. The legendary samurai saved him from a savage beast that was one of the remains from Diedrel. However, in doing so the samurai had taken a powerful magical blast that he wasn't going to be able to recover from. Instead, with his dying words and the remaining chi that he possessed, he passed down his blade named "Harusame" and enchanted the rusted sword. The enchantment was so that whenever Nahtanoj was weilding it that the blade would return to it's fullest strength, free of rust and age as if it were newly forged, though in the hands of another it would simply be an aged blade that was rusted over and dulled.
After that day, Nahtanoj dedicated himself to the arts of Bushido and Kenjutsu. Eventually, earning himself a great name and became a yojimbo for a well known feudal lord. As time passed and the eventually the war between humans and shinobi began. His lord was one of the people contacted for the aid of samurai and he simply refused thinking that staying out of the war would be wise. Instead, a shinobi had targeted the location for an assassination. Nahtanoj and the shinobi fought, but the shinobi commited to kamikazee and killed himself along with the feudal lord.
Shortly after that, with in the hour, humans and samurai aliked showed up. Bearing the banners of the humans of that time. And saw the single survivor, Nahtanoj near a dead feudal lord. A fight sprung forward and even with Nahtanoj speaking the truth, they did not believe him. In self defense, Nahtanoj, defended himself and fled the seen from slaying all of those men that were soldiers of the army.
It was later on down the line that he would end up in a similar situation. He was amongst a crowd of humans in a Brightvale City that were killed by a shinobi that had managed to sneak in and then escaped. The group of humans that were around a sword drawn Nahtanoj (because he had managed to save himself by blocking the sword strike) was framed and the city's soldiers came after him. Again, Nahtanoj defended himself and slayed them. However, in confusion eventually the human champion, Orion Armstrong, showed up himself. The champion fought a slightly tired samurai and an epic street battle was made. However, in the end the samurai grew ran out of stamina first and fell unconsious.
A few days later, he found himself locked and chained inside of a dungeon that would later on in the future be below the palace of Rahn. Years have passed, his strength never really decreasing seeing as the same bonds that kept his strength supressed kept it from weaking as well. He recieved the meals that were of very poor taste though did not deny himself any nutrition. In fact, he had just got done eating when he heard the sounds outside of his cell door. Trying to see what was going outside, though to no avail because of smoke from a fire. His door sprung open to reveal a man standing there with crimson hair and scarlet eyes known as Carmaus Dracus. The dragon anthromorph set him free along with the other prisoners of Rahn palace. He himself followed what he was told, though not really wanting to fight decided to attempt to escape after claiming the sword that was taken away from him...Harusame.
Character's Personality: Like most Yojimbos, they were silent and never spoke up. Only answering to their masters calls and orders. However, Nahtanoj is a friendly person he is greatly mistaken to be a fiend because of his deadly skill as a samurai.
Character's Appearance: If you look at the signature or the avatar you can get a general idea. He looks like Amidamaru from the anime/manga Shaman King. Typically has white hair, wears traditional samurai armor and wields two swords...though only uses one.
Anything special: Harusame is the name of the sword that he wields. It is enchanted so that whenever he's not using it, that the blade is rusted and dull. Though the opposite occurs when he uses it making the blade as if it were knew and incredibly sharp.
Along with that he can perform a series of different techniques and skills with the Kenjutsu arts.
Shock Wave Buddha-Giri - A signature move that he created on his own. It creates a shockwave that travels at high speeds and is capable of cutting through even the hardest of substances that is known of. Though this technique is only at it's most powerful when using Harusame.
Wakizashi - Another shockwave attack, though much weaker than the signature move and only can hit one opponent where the prior was capable of hitting mutliple targets at once.
Zanmato - A summoning technique that can only be learned by the ways of the Samurai. This is actually a long katana that holds the power of death in it's blade. One slash from this blade will create a wave of death that will hit all. In fact, it is believed that this technique is what ridded the samurai of their creator. Though this powerful technique is rarely ever used since it can only be used once and then the sword returns to where it was summoned from.
Weaknesses/Strengths: Nahtanoj is loyal and strong. He is dedicated to his own cause which is to protect life more than anything else. Though he is bound by the code of Bushido and always returns his debts...even if it means for him to commit crimes that are punishable by death.
