Name: Yamatiko (Katashi) Ryuu (Tori is his true first name, but no one uses it when speaking to him, as the only people who knew it are dead. As for Ryuu, it's from his nickname, and means Dragon.)
Alias: The Dragon of the Forest
Age: 22
Gender: male
Class: assassin (Hitokiri)/theif
Appearance: (weilding Arien's scythe)
(Ryuu as a slave.)
Ryuu has shaggy brown hair that he holds back with a strip of black cloth that makes his bangs fall over his eyes. He dresses in everything from Western suits to hakamas and kimonos (gees).
Weapons/armor: Ryuu weilds a katana with a blue-tinged blade and a matching kodachi. There are kunai and shiruken secreted in several places on his body, and he uses all of his weapons along with his martial arts knowledge to take down his opponent. He wears no armor, but depends instead on his own strength. Ryuu also carries one wakizashi that doesn't match anything else. It was once in the posession of Hatsukara Kaoru, but after her death, Ryuu began weilding it.
History: Ryuu was raised in a dojo by his aunt and uncle; he never truly knew what happened to his parents. His life was perfect, until he met a girl in his town. The two got along perfectly until one day, she disappeared. Rumors went around the town, and he soon believed her to be dead. Ryuu despaired at the loss, and fled into the woods and began hacking at trees, at rocks, at anything he could find. While there, from the shadows, Ryuu was ambushed. He was taken away to a cell. He was sold to a family, and forced into acting as their slave. If he misbehaved, well, it wasn't good for him. Eventually, the family got tired of him, and he was sold back to the man who had captured him in the first place. Ryuu was kept in a cell, his hands shackled to the wall, and his body growing weaker from lack of food.
One day, a man broke into the building and set the slaves free, killing the leading man. He saw Ryuu and took him in. Eventually, he convinced Ryuu him to become one of his gang, Sora Tsubasa. They were an underground group that pulled off assinations and stole as they saw fit. Ryuu accepted their offer and trained under the man for a few years.
After a while, the man was killed during a mission. Ryuu mourned his loss and wandered for days on end, trapped in all the sorrow that had filled his life. One day while he wandered, Ryuu ran into a young girl who was crying. Offering her a hand, Ryuu decided to train her as the old man had trained him. Ryuu declared her his apprentice and began to teacher her.
Time passed, and Ryuu discovered a darker side to himself, realizing that it came out when provoked by other people. Fearing this, he abandoned the girl and fled. Upon reaching Tokyo and the old headquarters of Sora Tsubasa, Ryuu decided to restart the group, himself at the head. Years have passed, and now Ryuu controls the group flawlessly, learning to more or less control his darker side.
As for the girl, Ryuu never expected to see her again.
Other: Ryuu's darker side comes from all of the death and cruelty he saw when he was younger. As he grew older, he realized that by acting happy and oddly even in the most painful of moments, he could overcome it, but when he starts acting serious, or if something really angers him, it triggers his darker side, thus making him rediculously lethal and also how he got the nick name "The Dragon of the Forest." This nick name came from a very interesting encounter with a very interesting band of theives that thought they could finish off the young Ryuu.
The dojo he was raised in is the "Abandoned dojo" in Osaka.
