I agree with Meigumi the buddy maybe a little more history about your character and why he is so feared and where he gets his amazing skills with a katana from etc etc but a good start to your character nonetheless.

Loner- Thanks i was thinking though instead of having ten characters i might reduce that to five or something like that, that way it will be easier for me to keep track of them during fight scenes etc and no i will make them as epic as ever haha. I think i can handle them all if using them all at once it would just be a bloody long post i think, although i do like your idea of sending them in one at a time or similar i will ponder on this new idea.
