Sasaki, Takehiko "Ronin" [WIP]

takehiko Sasaki

appearance

Ronin is not a big man, and he never has relied on strength when fighting. His small frame and quiet demeanor give off the impression that he's not much of a threat. He plays this to his strengths, often posing as the weakling in missions that require the element of surprise. He stands at 5'3", and has the lithe, hard, and incredibly strong build of an assassin or rogue rather than the bulk of a warrior. As he was a very sickly child, he remained small most of his life, so people tend to tower over him. He's not weak in the slighest and there is quite a bit of power in his movements. He may appear to be weak, but there are times that he's been known to pack a worse punch than a man twice or even three times his size.

Dark hair covers the top of his head in a shaggy mess, with the back and sides shaved to give an ever clean cut look. His grey eyes give a clear contrast to his pale skin and dark eyes. His expression is one that makes him seem bored or emotionless, and he always seems to be frowning. He doesn't smile often, which can be disconcerting to people. His visible lack of interest also tends to throw people off, and he generally doesn't show any sign of true excitement unless he's in the heat of battle. When using his kekkei genkai, his eyes turn a piercing green with blank rings around the iris, depending on how far he's unlocked his doujutsu at the time.

Ronin wears a simple outfit of long black pants, dark red shirt, and a black jacket that ends just above his hips. He wears a harness in which she can hide two short blades back against his ribs and under his jacket, and can house dual swords on both his hips. He wears dark grey boots made of soft leather so that he can move around easier. You don't normally see him wearing his jounin vest unless it's absolutely required for the mission. In that situation, he discards his jacket and the harness around his torso for the vest, and places his two knives on his belt instead. He keeps a single utility pouch that he stores his kunai, smoke bombs, and his shuriken. He also wears dark grey leather gloves that aid him in handling his blades.

In a non-combative setting, or when he isn't working, you can find him in dark dress pants and a clean-pressed white shirt. He wears dress shoes and carries a pocket watch with him. His hair really doesn't change no matter the outfit. His formal attire consists of the same black pants, shoes, and white shirt, but he also wears a suit jacket and a white cravat.

history

"Sometimes it takes the voice of a single individual to push a civilization in the direction of technological and self-advancement."

-- Eiji Sasaki, CEO of Revolution Industries

That was one of the first things that my grandfather taught me. Technological advancement, as well as the advancement of ourselves as a community and a city really could be spurred along by a single voice. One voice would turn into hundreds, and those hundreds into thousands. The eruption of the mountain above the city damaged us in a way that no one wanted to admit. The infrastructure of our forgotten city was crumbling and citizens had grown fearful of geological collapse, something that they had never feared before. They feared becoming the cities on the outside. Dead. Crushed. Snuffed out in a single moment. To them, there was nothing left but this place of stone. The mountain had been silent for so long. The beast below dormant and undisturbed; seemingly at rest and accepting of the society that had been built there. The eruption meant that the beast was restless and our lives were at risk. My grandfather and his company had sought out a way to turn that harsh reality around and ease the minds of the people. My grandfather was one voice. His comrades and associates the voices to follow.

The people; my grandfather, my parents, the citizens, my friends, everyone called for the advancement of our society. Archaic and outdated practices were tossed aside in favor of revolutionary change. 50 years ago, under the guidance of our leaders and our shinobi, a council of men and women and a force of strength, Kakushin was named. Kakushin was strengthened. Kakushin became our paradise. Kakushin became a place of innovation, change, theories, ideas... science.

This is the legacy that I, and all other of my generation aspire to. Our grandparents and our parents changed our city and we, as their children and grandchildren, aspire to live up to those feats. The change they started is the change that we wish to continue. This is exactly what I have lived for my entire life. From the day that I was born, my destiny was set. I was prepared and conditioned from the womb to love my city, my people, and my paradise. Yet, that never stopped my innate curiosity for the unknown and dangerous.

The only grandson, and first born grandchild of Eiji Sasaki, and first born of Hideki and Hikaru Sasaki, my given name is Takehiko. My parents were a fan of ironies, naming me "mountain prince" because I was exactly that. Their little mountain prince, and no one was going to tell them otherwise.
