I thought I'd use some other guy's post as a template.
Name: Jack (i 'spose)
Age: 34
Hair: Short brown hair (thick hair is useless)
Eyes: Brown
Race: Human
Class: Samurai
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Appearance:
Jack usually wears a jet black karate gi with a hakama over the pants (yes, it seems a little odd, but he can switch between a hakama and normal pants without much effort). He does, however, possess Yoroi. It is used during times of major conflict, which could be often. If he is travelling to train at a location, it isn't odd for him to be carring his training belt slung over his shoulder, tied in a knot around the aforementioned black gi.
Weaponry:
Jack uses a katana measuring 28.9" on the blade blade, 11" for the tsuka. The ito is black silk, traditionally wrapped around the tsuka. The tsuba is adorned by two dragons swirling around the centre, heightened by the beautiful detail on the dragons in it's paint and crafting.
The kashira is a dome-type, with a dragon of similar design from the tsuka. It is, however, unpainted. The Menuki
are of hawk feathers in a 'cross' arrangement, slightly heavier than normal (heavier metal, but not larger. This helps bring the blade's center of gravity back towards the handle slightly, without losing grip).
The blade itself is made from Swedish powdered steel. This blade can cut, bend and generally take a beating without losing shape or sharpness from long periods of use.
Background:
Jack likes travelling. He travels a lot. The end. (If you hadn't guess, Jack doesn't really have a history. You can read it from his travels in any posts I make)
Special Skills:
The later stages of kata in Kenjutsu focus on assassinations. As a result, Jack is especially proficient at just that.
Strengths:
Kenjutsu is not Jack's only forte. As a Samurai, Jack must be ready for any event where he cannot reach his preferred bladed weapon (whether it be on the battlefield or otherwise). To that end, Jack has trained in a mirade of different arts; jujitsu, karate, bo, arnis sticks, knives and even the Siam art of Muay Thai.
Weaknesses:
Jack can lack attention at times, but never during battle (he would be dead already, if he did)
