An example would be the use of a pistol, most would say it takes to long to reload the powder. In kazuya's eye's the pistol can be a tool that can be used to gain an advantage in close combat.

[Rei_Man]

Name : Kago Teyama

Age : 21

Gender : Male

Group : Segomari Ronins

Rank in group : Member

Fighting style : Mixture of Bushido and Kendo (sword arts) and Aikido (hand-to-hand).

Weapons : - "Wandering Spirit". Once belonged to Kago's father. A simple yet well built katana.
- Four-point shaken(throwing stars).

Abilities : Quite agile, allows him to perform complex ukemi techniques with relative ease. Very accurate with shaken at close - medium range.

Description : [URL=http://www.psycko-manga.com/gallery/guy/7-10.htm]Like this [/URL] in terms of facial features and weapon. Wears long flowing crimson robes down to his ankles, and matching pants of the same length.

Personality : Kago is a loner by definition. Since his father's death he has decided to trust no-one unless they deserve it. He fights with a fire in his eyes, striving to bring an end to the chaos that ruined his life. Regardless of this, he is not a foolhardy or arrogant man, and will consider his options carefully before charging into battle.

Bio : Kago learnt everything he knows from his father, Yagyu Teyama; an instructor of Kendo and Bushido who once fought under Lord Ghoda. At the age of 15 he completed his training, and decided to help his father at the dojo. For two years the dojo thrived, and by the end of this time Yagyu was preparing to pass ownership of the dojo onto his son. Unfortunately, this event never came to pass.
As rumours began to spread about Izayuai, the enchanted blade, many began to lust for its power and warlords began to gather vast armies for its conquest. All called for the greatest of samurai, and Kago's father was classed among them. Akira refused to fight for the greedy Lord Todomaki, and so Todomaki, fearing that Akira would join forces with another warlord, ordered his death. Kago's father was brutally murdered before his very eyes, and the dojo was burnt to the ground.
Kago soon began to harbor a severe abhorance of all warlords as he reflected on his father's demise. He hated Todomaki for killing his father, and he hated Ghoda and for forsaking him. Though he still held Lord Youjima in high respect, he did not feel comfortable with the idea of serving him; fearing that it could eventually lead him to the same fate as his father. And so Kago decided that he would serve no master. Having taken up his father's sword, he has chosen to shape his own destiny.

This sounds promising. I'd like to join, however, I need to type up a profile. Let this serve as a place-holder, and I'll edit in a mo' or two.

[Cyriel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=SeaGreen][B]Name:[/B] Lian (Kumiko) Youjima

[B]Age:[/B] 18

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Group:[/B] Lord Youjima
[B]Rank in group:[/B] Loyal servitor and "concubine"

[B]Fighting style:[/B] Mixed with various influences of mojutsu and genjutsu, Lian concentrates her technique with the smooth, flowing styles of wushu, along with a bit of knowledge of aikido. Rather than utilizing brute force and abrupt movements, wushu techniques are graceful and precise. Lian also incorporates stunning aerial and tumbling techniques, and an array of traditional weapons when they're at hand.

[B]Weapons:[/B] 'Lucky Dragon' - (shown in attachment) a large, dragon-headed staff which is as hard as diamonds, one blow can crush a man's skull. However, the staff conceals an ancient blade that covers half the staff's length. The sheath, shown in her hands, is also used during combat.

[B]Abilities:[/B] Like a human lie detector, Lian is able to distinguish truth from falsehood - you cannot deceive her. With heightened senses from her training, she also is knowledgeable in sensitive parts of the body, and uses that to gain a greater advantage in combat.

[B]Description:[/B] see attachment - credit to artist

[B]Personality:[/B] Calm and quiet, Lian exudes a quiet aura of confidence that never shows a trace of doubt. She does not complain, instead accepting whatever fate hands her way. Also a compassionate individual, she is able to relate fully with Lord Youjima, because of their similarities in duty to their families. Although still young, she is determined and firm, willing to accept death instead of failure. Lian does not enjoy killing, but again, accepts it as a necessity at times. Her name, meaning "daughter of the sun," expresses her hidden will of consuming fire and flame.

[B]Bio:[/B] Born in China to a poor governor and his wife, Lian was the first child and a daughter. Luckily, her father was a wise man, and deemed to have her educated and trained, knowing that he could not protect her from the harshness of life. Her mother taught her to appreciate every small thing in life, and to pick out the details that made the world all the more beautiful. Lian also trained under a few wushu masters who would now and then pass through the village, and caught on quickly with skill and finesse.

When she turned 13, Lord Youjima and his family passed through her village, and Lian's family, having three other children to support, sold her off as a concubine. However, Lian is not bitter about this at all - she knew that her family would rather keep her, and that it was her duty as a daughter. She returned to Japan with Lord Youjima, who was in his mid-twenties at the time.

Fearing a brutal life, Lian was utterly surprised and grateful at finding that Lord Youjima was a kind individual, who looked to her not as a wife or concubine, but as a sibling. Indeed, with time Lian saw Lord Youjima much like an older brother, and their "marriage" remained in name only, never being consummated. For a few years, she was seen with him constantly, earning her the petname of Kumiko, or "companion child." She has continued her training with help from Lord Youjima, who ordered various instructors to teach her further in various arts, and now she has become a useful tool. Lian, under orders from the Youjima family, is now hunting for the infamous Izayuai, to cement their family's power.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Brother to All, Kin to None.

[Balmon]

Name: Kwung Yei Sung
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Group: Miyotji Ninjas
Rank in Group: Loyal friend and right-hand man to Sorashima
Fighting Style: Shaolin Hung Ga

Weapons:
Bare-handed ? The oldest art of fighting in China, Hung Ga revolves around five animals; the tiger, crane, leopard, snake, and dragon. Each animal has its on characteristics, based upon its qualities and importance to the human body.
Bo ? ?Unlabored Flawlessness?* - The most famous Bo of Asian history, a weapon so imbued with essence it can shatter weapons of metal. Passed down along Sung?s mother?s family line, it was given to him when she passed away.

Abilities:
Ki projection ? Being so in touch with the unceasing energy of the universe, known as ?Ki?, Sung has mastered the ability to increase the output of his Ki, basically creating an additional shell around him which increases his resistance to physical and mental attacks, as well as extending his range and power. He can effectively attack someone who is seemingly beyond his reach.
Animal Adaptation ? More innately attached to his fighting style, whichever animal he adopts, he benefits from the strengths of that particular being.
Tiger = Power, Strength and courage
Crane = Agility and watchfulness
Leopard = Speed
Dragon = Spiritual control and skill
Snake = Internal strength and power

Description: Sung is about 5?11?, at about 150 lbs. His lean frame belies an incredible amount of strength. He wears a traditional Chinese hat, and traditional Chinese garments. Despite attempts by his friend Sorashima to switch to traditional Japanese garments, as he has been a resident of Japan for many years, Sung holds strong to his own identity.

Personality: A learned scholar and fighter, Sung is a man dedicated to peace. He is very kind, though not to the point of being gullible, and is always willing to lend a hand. However, he has no patience for wrong-doing of any sort. He will go out of his way to eliminate any evil around him. This is a man who cannot be swayed by any means to partake in any vice ? including drinking. This is the one trait of Sung?s that Sorashima has practically dedicated his life to changing.

Bio: A native of rural China, Sung was born into a family of accomplished martial artists, his mother being the most renowned. Of course, this was an extremely opposing take on the role of women in his time, so he has grown up with strong values regarding the equality of women. Spending much of his younger years studying with his mother and father in the martial arts, and other mentors for the academics, Sung never saw much of the world. So, when his parents felt it was time for Sung to go, they sent him off on his own with no destination in mind.

After many years of traveling along China?s coast, Sung eventually made his way to Japan ? he had heard about a Japanese martial arts expo taking place there, the first of its kind.. It was there that he met Sorashima, and where a friendship was quickly formed. The two found they had very similar upbringings, with very similar values.

While Sorashima is definitely the much more spontaneous of the two, he is well-balanced with his Chinese counterpart, a much more sensible and rational man. With his friend Sorashima, along with the other Miyotji Ninjas, they take up causes they feel are just and ask no reward? though known for their courage and steadfast beliefs in peace, they are nonetheless well supported by the citizens of Japan.

He's now helping his lord search for the Izayuai.
