This should be finished within the next couple days, but I'll just put it here for initial screening rather than PMing it to myself for reasons. I promise it'll be sexy and stuff once I'm done. Also apparently Gowi is forcing me to make him 18. Jeez, the anime hijinks. [hider=Hibiki] [center][img]http://safebooru.org//images/132/ccff563885fdeaafe53b5223b080cba055856e09.jpg?132228[/img][/center] [B]Name:[/b] Tanaka Hibiki (田中 響) [B]Age:[/b] 18 (Born June, 1551) [B]Gender:[/b] Male [B]Physical Description:[/b] Typically eschews fancy Samurai clothing for simple sugegasa and such when he is not forced to wear ceremonial garb. (This will be filled in eventually) [B]Skillset:[/b] [list] [*][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginatajutsu]Naginatajutsu[/url]: [*]Ascended Peasant: Seeing as for the first several years of his life Hibiki was a simple rice farmer, he is very easily capable of blending into the crowd of lower class Japanese citizens; an undervalued skill for a group of Samurai on the run, seeing as most of his contemporaries have been nobility their entire life and most likely don't know how to 'bastardize' their own speaking patterns. Or maybe Hibiki just never bothers with formal speech. One of the two. [/list] [B]History:[/b] The Important Bits [list] [*]Born to a pair of rice farmers on the outskirts of Raremashita territory [*]Named Hibiki because he wailed a lot as a child. [*]Orphaned at the age of Eight-Twelveish due to the reason anyone becomes orphaned in Anime. Wars n' stuff. [*]Taken in by motherflippin' Inafune Shigeyasu [*]Effectively raised alongside Kamiko, the youngest child of Raremashita clan. [*]Given the family name Tanaka during his Genpuku ceremony, though he broke tradition by maintaining his given name from birth [*]Shenanigans ensue with the Gekido's and he joins the band o' badasses. [/list] [B]Psychological Profile:[/b] With the combination of being in the prime of youth and coming from the simple life of a rice farmer, Hibiki is a remarkably free-spirited individual. He doesn't pretend to put on airs or forget where he came from. A dual tragedy had risen him from where he was, and it wouldn't take nearly as much bad luck to throw him back down. Though for some reason this pragmatic view hasn't stopped him from speaking plainly with the Japanese Nobility, which has landed him in more bad spots than he'd care to admit. [B]Equipment/Weapons:[/b] [list] [*][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginata]Naginata[/url]: [*][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakizashi]Wakizashi[/url]: Kept mostly out of ceremony, Hibiki has little practical skill with a Wakizashi blade, much preferring his Uchigatana. He has debated on whether or not to discard the smaller blade as to not be immediately recognized as a Samurai.
