Soldier of Fortune
06-03-08, 04:56 PM
Name: Aomizuohi (a-oh-me, zoo-oh-he)
Gender: Male
Age: 39 years
Race: Nekojin
Nationality: Akashiman
Height/Weight: 6"1', 169 lbs.
Hair Color/Eye Color: Unlike most Nekos, Aomi's entire body is covered with a finely groomed coat of short, jet black hair, accentuating his full, bright blue eyes.
Occupation: Aomi currently resides in South Akashima, assisting in recruit training for the Royal Army, but rumor notes that he secretly serves under one of the Dukes as an assassin.
Full Appearance
Aomi is the type of cat that likes to keep a good appearance at most, if not all, times, even during battle. He makes sure that his coat is nice and shiny before he goes anywhere and that, combined with his naturally lean body, has made him extremely handsome. To female Nekos, that is. His body is encased in lean muscles chiseled to anatomic perfection. They aren't overly bulky, just the perfect size for someone like this cat. He usually wears his signature blood red leather chest-piece and matching bracers.
Personality
Dark and sleek, like his fur. Aomi deliberately keeps an aura of mystery about his person, often times seen brooding in a corner or acting like he knows something more, which often times he does. The Neko doesn't talk much, and when he does he is very succinct, usually never saying even two sentences in a row.
Equipment
Sansimiriku: His signature katana. Elegant yet powerful, traits that he and the sword both share. This is the weapon he used when he was in the Band of Blades, and the 3" folded-steel blade has been colored red, most likely his favorite color and comes with a similarly colored sheath, reinforced to act as a blunt weapon all in itself. To keep the blade sharp and ready, he takes it to a blacksmith regularly. This sword has become his partner and an extension of himself, more than any mundane weapons, and it holds no magical properties. He holds Sansimiriku in his hands at most times, sometimes belting it to his waist.
Chest plate: A tight leather chest plate that Aomi always wears. The leather hugs his upper chest tightly and cuts off just above his abdominals.
Bracers: Just a pair of red iron bracers, simply designed.
Proficiencies
Strength: Not the strongest, but definitely strong for a Nekojin and compared to an average human male. 1.1x
Speed: At a full sprint, Aomi is about 1.5x faster than an average human.
Agility/Dexterity: Hand-eye coordination is something that comes easily to the attentive feline, making hand work as well as body movement fairly simple to him. 1.5x
Sixth Sense: Like a lot of felines, Aomi can naturally tell when something bad is about to ensue. This isn't always 100% accurate, but it has saved his life many times in the past. Passive.
Luck: Having "nine lives" would be an understatement when talking about Aomizuohi. When times get rough and it seems as if there's no turning back, something miraculously happens in Aomi's favor. Situations like this tend to happen when it is a matter of life or death, but it might not always work. This quality earned him the nickname "Fortune" when he was in the Band of Blades. Passive.
Swordsmanship: Aomi's main fighting style. Using his special katana, he sword fights gracefully yet effectively. Active, Above Average
---------------Sub-Skill, Quick Draw: A fancy sword technique that Aomi likes to practice. The art of drawing your blade especially fast as well as dealing a quick, unexpected slash. The speed of this technique increases with practice, and as of now he is currently a beginner, being able to draw his blade reasonably faster than a normal fighter, giving opportunity for a nice, semi-surprising preemptive strike.
---------------Sub-Skill, Swordplay: Though this skill has no martial use, it is effective for showing off. Simply the art of twirling the sword around the fingers in a playful manner without risk of hurting oneself. Aomi is an expert.
Hand-to-Hand/Martial Arts: When Aomi fights without Sansimiriku, he is a lot more aggressive, leaning more towards his feral, beastly side. Using flurries of kicks, punches and acrobatics. Active, Below average.
History
The Band of Blades is where Aomizuohi's story began. The infamous group formed when 10 Nekojin swordsman decided that they wanted to form their own country, one that the Nekos could proudly call their own. The radical Freedom-fighters wanted to do this by way of force, in order to make things go by quickly. Despite, the B.o.B. never blew up it's reputation as much as they had hoped, and only ended up having about 50 warriors total in it's ranks, which was quickly disbanded by Lady Akashima Hokoman herself. The legend of the Band wasn't quite fulfilled.
Aomi joined the Band when they had just started, roughly 20 years in his past, back when he was a wishful yet stupidly inexperienced kitten. He immediately fell in love with it, yet never fully agreed with the groups forceful ways of doing business, which was in the form of rag-tag terrorism. Things never got too out of hand though, so people saw the group as just some people who wanted change, no really big terrorist acts ever occurred. After the Band of Blades broke up, Aomi promised himself that he would reform it, with new morals of course, and a different goal. Since then he easily acquired a job as an assistant in Final Testing for Royal Army recruits, which included sending them into the outskirts of Concordia. Of course, he had some strings pulled with the help of one of the Band Brothers' Original 10, who happened to be an officer in the Army.
