[TakashiKien]

Name:Kien

Status: Ronin

Nickname: Shiroki noroi musha

Rank in Charts: 27

Age: 23

Height:5'11

Weight: 230 Lbs

Appearance: Usualy seen wearing a solely white Gusoku-type of armor, with the maedate of his family clan upon his helm.

Weapon: Kien utilizes a massive sword called an ōdachi, but also has an Uchigatana. The ōdachi was 70 inches long, and its reenforced blade is capable of killing a man and a horse and one fatal swing. While it could be used in close quarters; it's reach far exceeding that of a katana's. It was once a temple offering to the spirits abound in his village, and was also used to say his former master and lord.

His Uchigatana, is worn edge-up, like one would wear a tachi. Unlike the tachi, with which the acts of drawing and striking with the sword were two separate actions, unsheathing the uchigatana and cutting the enemy down with it became one smooth, lightning-fast action (this technique was called battojutsu otherwise known as Battokiri).

History: Takashi has had a long and bloody history. Born to a general, the drive for perfection was always prominent. But as the years turned, and the wars never seemed to cease, Takashi became disillusioned with the world's conception of what a samurai ought to be. Knowing he was placing himself in a rather repugnant position, Takashi then turned his back on his daimyo. Unable to cope with the embaressment of one of his vassals leaving his court, the Daimyo dispatched many armed men to find and kill this vagrent.

However, the vagrent slew the men but not before they had killed those he had known all of life, and burned his home to the ground. The general then turned on his former lord, slaying him in combat after he had cut one off then two as a means of revenge for losing the two things he loved most before beheading his Daimyo.

Personality: Quirky, serious, and chivalrous.

Team: No affiliation.
