Race: Human
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel that swirl
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Occupation: Wandering Samurai

Personality: Kichiro is the fun loving sort often getting into trouble. He follows the rules usually but doesn't mind breaking the small ones when it's to his benefit and wouldn't cause him too much trouble. He is somewhat of an oddball, sometimes doing things others would think were strange. He often has a pricetag on things (not necessarily items), he picked up that trait from his parents. He loves sparring but when it comes down to serious fights he tries to find a way to avoid it altogather because the best victory is that battle not fought. If things come down to it though he will draw his blade and fight with everything he has to offer. All in all he is benevolant person and looks out for others. Sometimes he distances himself from others.

Appearance: He has long brown hair, which is somewhat wild. His swirling hazel eyes often have a slightly stern look with a little bit of fun loving. He wears a simple yet durable cloth trench coat coloured a jet black color. Under it he wears a white shirt and black slacks. On his feet are twin black leather boots. He sometimes wears a black wide brimmed hat that has a red feather sticking out of it. Also wears a black leather belt with a small tan pouch looped on it. The pouch has a small red cat embroided on it.

History: Kichiro was born in the corone area although he doesn't know which city it is. The reason for that is his parents were traveling merchants that pedalled their wares where they could and generally that was all around. He always had pretty much anything he desired but life was still tough. They had to travel often, usually through dangerous places and there was very little time to rest.

His parents taught him how to read and the gaurds that often accompanied him started teaching him how to sword fight and fight unarmed at his request. Although his parents disapproved of it, the guards would teach him swordplay anyway when his parents weren't looking or asleep or the such. He also learned to haggle, price, buy and sell items from his parents which would be a handy skill to have.

Eventually Kichiro grew tired of traveling and decided to run off on his own one night. He grabbed a katana from the trade cart along with some food and headed off into the night without a sound. He made it about a mile and stopped to rest. He figured he was safe enough at that distance to escape and not be found right away. He passed out and let sleep take him away into dreams where life was grand.

He woke up the next morning and decided to head Radasanth since they had recently left there only a few days prior. His parents might look for him there but he wouldn't be easy to find considering Radasanth wasn't a small city. He took a drink out of his waterskin and started toward the city.

It took him two days of trekking since he didn't know his way around perfectly and it was still quite a distance. The days were rather easy as well since he took his time and leisurely strolled to the city since he really had no urgent appointments to attend to at his newly found liberation.

He entered through the bazaar and found himself acting like his parents would. Looking over items appraising them and haggling around even though he really couldn't afford anything. He scolded himself for acting like the parents he had left for the reason of the cared too much about pedalling. They never took vacations or the such or trained him to fight. He remembered the old maxim "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" and sighed. He would give them awhile to cool off and then he might find them.

The first thing he would have to do though is find a place to call his own. That didn't take long though because only after a few hours of searching he found a small abandoned building to take residence in. He quickly found out why though. There were a couple of rather large rats (about the size of a small dog) and they looked rather mean. After a short but intense battle with the rats he claimed dominion over the small shamble of a building.

That was about two years ago and now he wanders about Radasanth. He calls himself a wandering samurai whenever anyone asks him what it is he does exactly. He hopes to open up a shop of his own on the side some day.

Skills:
Swordsmanship: Kichiro learned how to sword fight from the guards that accompanied him and his parents and he practiced it day in and day out since then and has become quite a skilled swordsman. He can easily bat aside the general rabble, out do most common infantry and gives those with experience a run for their money.

Unarmed combat: Kichiro has learned the basics of unarmed combat. He can throw a punch and can sometimes deflect others. attacks

Quick: Kichiro is quicker than most humanoid creatures in practically all respects. It seems an almost magical. With such speed, his chances of hitting an opponent and dodging their attack is increased.

Merchant Mind: Growing up in a merchant family, Kichiro learned how to haggle and the such from his parents. Although he has a long way to go to be a superb haggler.

Knowledge of the land: Due to travelling alot, Kichiro has learned the lay of the land pretty well and can make his way to any city with enough time. (corone only)

Equipment:
Steel katana: Kichiro took it from his family's merchant kart when he ran away. It is the same as any other steel katana.

Familiars:
Kazuo: A ferret that is as intelligent as any human and is even able to talk. That often leads Kichiro to believe that there is a soul in Kazuo. He often has conversations with Kichiro and sometimes gives him advice. Kazuo is also somewhat magical in the fact that he doesn't age and is alot older than Kichiro. Kazuo also can create a shield to protect himself from attacks. Kazuo can often be hassle to deal with due to his personality. Kazuo is knowledgeable but can sometimes act like a know-it-all, but in the end he means well and is generally friendly. Kazuo rarely talks in front of other people other than Kichiro and even more rarely talks to those others that he talks in front of.
