Komosatuo
05-06-06, 02:05 AM
Name: Komosatuo Isachi Satuo
Age: Unknown. Moves like a mature male between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three.
Height: About 5'10"
Weight: Appears weight about 170.
Gender: Most likely male, noone really knows.
Eye Color: Pale Gray
Hair Color: Unknown, could be bald.
Occupation: Professional Ninja of the Seventh Clan of the Horachi’Lykn Ninja*. Also a freelance Mercenary.
Appearance: Komosatuo is garbed in traditional Horachi’Lykn Ninja clothing, a full piece suit comprised of twin layered, interwoven black silk, that both allows for quick, light movements, while still providing the wearer with a minor amount of protection from the elements and glazing attacks. The suit comes up to form a half hood over his head, leaving the face fully exposed, and also forms a tough sole where normally shoes, or sandals would be worn. The suit also possesses numerous hidden pouches across the person, all of which are very cleverly hidden so that none save one on his left thigh, are visible. Over his exposed face Komosatuo wears a black scarf, which is constructed of the same material as his suit, that is long enough to wrap completely around his head multiple times, but still keeps his eyes exposed. The remainder of the sash hangs down to about the middle of his back, is noticeably uneven. The index, middle finger and thumbs of his suit are half-cut (half the finger is missing) allowing for easy grip on most surfaces.
Personality: Dangerously quiet and strongly to himself, Komosatuo trusts noone and will rarely ask for a favor. He has no known friends, and if he does, they are secrets even to those themselves. He is a coiled spring, ready to release, and all it normally takes is one wrong move, or action, or word to unleash his strange inner rage.
Armor: Aside from his one piece suit, he wears a thin padded vest of leather armor underneath. This doesn’t hinder his movement and is not noticeable unless closely examined. The armor provides him with minimal protection against thrusting attacks and arrows. It provides a good rating of protection against slashes or glancing attacks.
Weaponry: On his person, hidden within the many pouches, are the following items.
6 five pointed throwing stars (http://www.karatedepot.com/catalog/images/items/wp-ni-004.jpg), made of steel. Shuriken is their common name.
8 seven & 1/4 inch throwing knives (http://www.karatedepot.com/catalog/images/items/wp-ni-31.jpg), made of iron.
12 three inch fish darts (http://www.karatedepot.com/catalog/images/items/wp-ni-05.jpg), made of iron. These are small darts normally thrown in bunches of three or four and each have a four inch red or yellow tassel attach to the ends. These don’t hinder its flight, but do add stability.
1 thirty-two & ½ inch Horachi’Lykn Ninja Sword (http://www.karatedepot.com/catalog/images/items/sw-ni-10.jpg), made of folded steel. This normally worn within a special pouch on his back, that holds his sheath in such a way, that only the hilt of his weapon is visible. The hilt is painted black, and is wrapped in roughed leather.
Skills/Abilities:
Sword/Unarmed Techniques: Being that he is a level 0, Komosatuo will only be able to use one of the following techniques. These are only a few examples, I haven’t thought of any more, but I will label the one he is able to use at the time being.
Swaying Moonflower: A very, very common technique used within the ranks of the Horachi’Lykn. So common in fact, that it is considered by most to be a rookie technique, although almost all would tell you that they’ve used at least once or twice that day, because it works almost without fail each time. The Swaying Moonflower is generally a defensive technique, but combined with such techniques as the Rolling Thundercloud, or the Swinging Monkey Fist, the Swaying Moonflower can become very deadly. The technique begins when the Ninja clears his thoughts completely and enters deep into his minds personal solitude and focuses all his energy, his Lykn (Explained later), into his keys sense, hearing. This normally takes about a half second, depending on the situation, but because of the severe training of the Horachi’Lykn, this is almost always achieved in the said time. Once the solitude has been attained the Ninja performs a series of three moves to complete the technique, all within a very, very short time (another second and a half, due to intense training again) and they go as such:
Hy’Cha: Simply lifting their sword up in front of them.
Hy’Chi: Bringing their legs close together, lifting up onto the balls of their feet slightly, and laying their sword flat against their chest, the blade pointing up.
Hy’Kah’Ni: This is the final move, executed just before the attack can connect with the ninja, is simply that the ninja, using his increased sense of hearing, ducks, twists, jumps, or steps out of the way of the attack and it is in this final stage of the Swaying Moonflower that other techniques can be used.
Swaying Moonflower is the only technique he is able to use now. This technique can be used only twice in battle, as focusing all of a Ninja’s Lykn drains half of their fighting strength. A second execution would almost be fatal, unless the Ninja is well rested before the battle. This can be used multiple times during a quest, depending on how long it is.
Rolling Thundercloud: A twirling attack/technique that is normally executed when jumping during the final stage of the Swaying Moonflower. Possesses enough strength, should the Ninja be armed, to severe an unarmored human, or creatures, head or other extremity that happens to be there. Can break bones should they be unarmed. Is also used to reach normally unattainable heights by focusing all the Ninja’s Lykn into their legs and strength. Not yet obtained
Swinging Monkey Fist: A spinning attack/technique that is normally executed when ducking during the final stage of the Swaying Moonflower. Possesses enough strength, should the Ninja be armed, to severe an unarmored human, or creatures, legs or other extremity that happens to be there. Can break bones should they be unarmed. Is also used as a dodging technique, when being fired at by arrows or other propelled object by focusing all the Ninja’s Lykn into his sight and hearing. Not yet obtained
Cascading Waterfall Over Cliff: A controlled fall/landing technique. The Ninja focuses all of his Lykn into his legs and lower torso. The result is a very soft, and very quiet landing that only results in a minor bruise. Successful landings normally occur between heights of ten feet and twenty feet. Anything below can be achieved quietly and smoothly without this technique, although risk of injury is greater, and anything over twenty feet is still unattainable by a level 0 at this time. Not yet obtained
Sword Mastery: Because he is a level 0, this technique is reduced to beginning stages. He knows how to use a sword well enough, but when pressed by a advanced swordsman, he will falter and possibly loose. This will increase as he gains levels.
Throwing Mastery: Because he is a level 0, this technique is reduced to novice (below beginning) stages. He can hit most large and slow targets, but trying to accurately hit a moving target has a 1 in 5 chance, this is if the target is of moderate size, such as an orc. The chances decrease as the size decreases.
Ninja Reflexes: Because he is a level 0, this technique has been reduced to non-developed stage. He doesn’t possess the superior reflexes of a high level ninja, but as his levels increase, so with his reflexes. He does possess however, the basic reflexes of a normal twenty year old human male.
Wall Jump/Flip/Run: Because his a level 0, these techniques have been reduced to non-developed stage. He can do basically what a normal twenty year old human male can do when it comes to running up or on walls, jumping onto and off them, and flipping around.
Ninja Sight/Smell/Touch/Hearing/Taste: Because he is a level 0, these increased senses have been reduced to non-developed stage. He possess the same senses level of a normal twenty year old human male.
Lykn: The life force of all living things on Althanas, and unfortunately, known and used by only a select few. The Ninja. Much like the Chi (or however it’s spelled) of the Chinese, or Japanese, the Lykn of the Horachi’Lykn is utilized to grant their Ninja the ability to perform inhuman feats of great strength, speed, cunning, accuracy, or just about anything out of the ordinary for a normal human. The use of a Ninja’s Lykn however, comes with a cost, for every time a Ninja uses his Lykn he will drain a portion of his strength. For it requires great mental and physical discipline to do such, and if used to often in one sitting, it will very likely leave a Ninja weak and exhausted. It is taught within to ranks of the Horachi’Lykn that a Ninja is only to use his Lykn when in great need, or in a fight he knows he will not win under normal circumstances.
Items: His throwing weapons, his sword, his suit, his sash and a few pieces of gold.
History: Noone really knows where Komosatuo came from, noone really cared. After he slaughtered three Horachi’Lykn Ninja unarmed when they attempted to stop him from entering their grounds, and without the assistance of his Lykn, noone dared ask. Instead they reasoned with him, then took him as one of their own, taught him their ways, their forms, their beliefs and their customs. This happened nearly fifteen years prior to his re-emergence into the Althanas ‘public.’ This would suggest, that he is perhaps older than he acts, for he was no more than eight years old when he first appeared within the Horachi’Lykn compound.
During these fifteen years Komosatuo spoke to almost no one, except perhaps his mentor, teacher and possibly, his only known friend, Ymotaqota. Even then it was only in acknowledgment of a command or request, nothing more, nothing less. He learned fast, very fast, and soon was amongst the advanced students of the Horachi’Lykn, and he was not even two years at the compound. It took an average of six years to complete the beginning stages at the compound. This left him with many enemies at the compound, mainly with the other students, even a few teachers. This did not deter him however, though at times it did stall him, but only just. There were quite a few unknown deaths at the compound in the following years, almost all of which had publicly proclaimed themselves envious of Komosatuo. Noone dared to point the finger though, lest they bring upon themselves the same fate shared by their dead peers and teachers. After the twelfth death, noone tried again and Komosatuo continued his training.
Ten years later, nearly half the time it took a ‘normal’ student, Komosatuo graduated and was allowed to leave the compound as he see fit, to venture into the rest of the world. His teachers beset upon him three rules however, he must never reveal where the compound was, that if he was to be hired as a mercenary, not to mention the compound, and if the Horachi’Lykn were to go to war, he was to join them, no matter what.
He did not leave immediately however, and stayed near to the compound, performing mediocre police duties in the nearby villages, for near on three years. The call of the outside world called to him though, and one night he simply disappeared. The Horachi’Lykn knew he had left, they saw everything, but noone else knew where he went, when he left, or much less why. Like a silent specter he was simply just gone; noone has seen him since and everyone is wondering when it is he will return.
((* Note: The Horachi’Lykn do not really exist IRL. They are a rouge group of Ninja I just invented that make residence somewhere within the realm of Althanas. I can provide a detailed history if it is required; once I’ve thought of one, that is.))
