Name:
Ronin Akagi
Age:
20
Affiliation:
Assassin/Ninja
Appearance:
Ronin stands around 5'8" and weighs approximately 190lbs. He has a slightly tan complexion with smooth skin and a handsomely shaped face. His hair is as black as night and his eyes are like blue shards of ice. He has a muscular build and a medium sized frame. At his back is a katana blade and along a strap crossing from his right(left in the photo) shoulder to his left(Right in the photo) hip are rows of throwing daggers. He wears his father's hidden blade under a bracer of beautiful design.
Personality:
Ronin's a clever man with a good head on his shoulders. He thinks strategically every time he's sent out on a mission, which makes him a great asset to have around. However, he's silent most of the time, hardly daring to speak in the presence of those he doesn't know very well. When he does speak, people consider him cold and unemotional, calculating and intelligent. However, if he had to choose between saving his own life or saving the life of a Brother or Sister of the Creed, he would willingly give up his own life to save another.
Favorite Weapons:
Katana sword~it's been with him since he was first a student
Hidden Blade~it was his father's and he keeps it with him at all times
Shurikens~they provide a silent kill when his enemies are out of range to use his hidden blade
Throwing daggers~they provide a silent kill when his enemies are out of range to use his hidden blade

Aquaphobia~he fears drowning, despite knowing how to swim
At the age of seventeen, Ronin took an arrow to the shoulder(right) and, on occasion, should someone strike that area, it would hurt
Background/Biography:
Ronin was born at night under the light of a full moon. Most would call that fate and his father strongly believed it was. His father was a proud man who was proud of his origins from Japan and came to the American Colonies in hopes of creating a new life for his family, away from the dangers that lurked back at home. However, Ronin was never told of his father's work.
However, one night, his family was attacked. The men killed his mother and left him and his father in disarray. Thinking quickly, his father did the only thing he could and took his son to the Assassins. He had hoped to never bring this to his son, but he had had no choice and told Ronin of the Assassins and his line of work.
Throughout his childhood, Ronin trained in the ways of the Ninja Asashin and grew set in those ways. He learned martial arts and the art of moving through the shadows without being seen. This he quickly grew into and, upon his initiation and taking his first life, Ronin became known as Shadō, or The Shadow, though most knew him as Shadō.
Sometime after he'd turned seventeen, Ronin was given a mission that required a great deal of stealth, of which he delivered perfectly. However, he was discovered on his way out and was shot with an arrow in his right shoulder. He recovered, but it became a weakness. Upon his eighteenth birthday, the same men who had attacked his family and killed his mother came again. This time, they succeeded in slaying his father and ever since, Ronin has sought revenge.
