Oh yeah, if you need an example character look no further than Jaden fuckin Raldo.

He's tall (at six-five), muscular, and confident. He has the ability to draw the attention of an entire crowd with his voice alone. Though, he definitely has that cockiness to him, from that shit-eating grin, to the way he walks. Jaden is a loud, and spastic person that definitely hard to predict, yeah. One could easily identify him as a Nomad from his attire - mostly the blades that he carries around on his being, and pouches. He has two katanas strapped to his back, his two mainstay weapons, and a larger katana at his waist, a sword given to him by a friend. And his most important weapon on his other hip... his mic. He definitely looks like trouble, but fortunately, he's on the side of the good guys (in his own special way). Jaden usually wears jeans, or slacks of some kind, with a T-shirt. Jaden is definitely African-American, with his dark-skin, thick lips, and African skull shape. He speaks with a thick urban accent.

Where they signed Declaration of Independence, fitting for a dude like Jaden who loves his freedom! Jaden was born to a wealthy family that had tons of oversea business to attend to, and that meant lots of traveling for the Raldo family. Though, Jaden was a particularly rowdy kid growing up. Getting into all sorts of danger and confrontation growing up, all over the world, baby! This lead him to being restricted from going along with his parents, and instead confined to his family's mansion in Philadelphia. And the family's servants were instructed to keep him contained at all costs. They could barely hold him back. It was instead decided that he needed an outlet for his energy. They contacted an old friend of theirs... Sensei Hirokazu. Hirokazu was a ninjutsu master that was a good friend of Jaden's father. After bribing him with a lot of money, they got him to take Jaden under their wing, and train him, and otherwise keep him out of trouble. And after a few really good Japanese language classes, Jaden was whisked away to Japan. At first, Jaden was annoyed that he was sent to live with some old fart, then he warmed up to the idea of becoming a Ninja! Until he realized that being a ninja was a lot of work, he had to do all sorts of arduous training. From meditating in the woods, to meditating in the dojo, to meditating on top of a mountain. There was so much meditation, and so little cool ninja stuff. However, this training was helping Jaden develop his ki, and in a manner of a few years, Jaden had developed a load of ki. And the results of his training had turned Jaden into a very competent ninja, a master of stealth and badassery. However, while he was training under Sensei, he learned about Ki, and what it is. Sensei told him about his own innate ki, and tried to teach Jaden one of the first steps to manipulating ki, sensing. It was a basic technique to Sensei, but a challenge for Jaden. He was told to look into himself for the answers to his question of why he can't learn Ki. Sensei sent Jaden to places to live alone until he overcomes the hurdles inside of himself and become one with the world. From the Brazilian Amazons, to Siberia, Jaden was forced to survive alone, and meditate, as he takes the first steps to mastering ki. The epiphany came to him upon being sent to the African Sahara, and sensed a pack of hyenas... dispatching the hyenas, Jaden realized that he has learned to sense ki itself. Returning to Japan, Jaden was congratulated for his discovery, and was accepted into the next level of his Ninjutsu training. Jaden felt proud of himself, but began to grow dangerously arrogant. At this stage, Jaden was sent on actual missions by his Sensei, basically behind the scenes peacekeeping. Such as defeating local crime-lords, and stealing stolen artifacts. But, everything changed once his Sensei told him to retrieve an ancient weapon from one of his old rivals: Jotaro. The weapon was the legendary sword Murakumo, stolen decades ago. The relations between Hirokazu and Jotaro stemmed from the time they were mere students of the same master, and Jotaro killed their master to steal the legendary sword. It was a task of the utmost importance, and Jaden was instructed to [i]never[/i] use the sword under any circumstance. He took it seriously as he usually does; not at all. Infiltrating his compound in the mountains was easy... but, he blew it at the last second, and revealed himself to Jotaro. He got viciously thrashed by the ninja master [i]until[/i] he grabbed the legendary blade Murakumo for himself, and slashed Jotaro with it. The overwhelming power of the sword allowed Jaden to defeat Jotaro with one slash... only to lose himself to the sword. He went on a rampage, destroying the compound with the blade. After his rampage was cover, he managed to collect himself, and realize what he's done. He darted back to his Sensei's compound... only to find his Sensei, Hirokazu, dead, with a blade driven through his heart. Jaden quickly left, only to find out that he's been framed for the theft of Murakumo all those years ago, and found Japanese authorities coming after him. He escaped from Japan with Murakumo... but, there was a few questions that Jaden had. Starting with [i]who[/i] framed him even though Jotaro and his goons were beaten to a pulp? Along with who killed Hirokazu. With assassins and various other warriors after them, Jaden ultimately decided to become a Nomad. He became a roaming warrior that did work for the highest bidder... but kept his principles above all else. He refused to harm innocent people, instead just go after other crooks. While searching for clues as to who his master's killer was (so far he's found absolutely nothing). All while promoting his killer rap album, "Taste the Sword."[/indent] [/indent] [color=olivedrab][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][color=olivedrab][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Ninjutsu, baby! Jaden is practically a ninja. Jaden employs a modified version of it that makes good use of his high-ki. Jaden uses it to zip around the battlefield, doing hops, flips, and even teleporting! To put it simply; Jaden possess a lot of high-mobility techniques that lets him close in on opponents, while having plenty of hard hitting moves that take the enemy out quickly. Though, Jaden uses less stealth and discipline, and more of the heavy hitting moves. Such as kicks, chops, and more importantly, Jaden's swords. He doesn't carry around those katanas for show! He knows how to use those blades really well, and slices with speed and precision to cut stone. Jaden can also channel his ki into these blades to increase their strength and durability. Whenever Jaden uses this technique, he infuses the blades with ki, and they are surrounded with light. Now, Jaden also possesses the legendary Japanese sword Murakumo... which is a powerful weapon infused with a lot of ki, but there is a spirit residing inside of it. Should Jaden use it, he will lose himself... but, he'll have amazing strength. Jaden also knows the ki-sense technique.[/indent] [color=olivedrab][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u][/color] [indent] [indent][u]■ Teleportation[/u] [indent] Jaden's main method of getting around. By focusing, doing the Japanese salute, he can teleport to a specific point in a poof of smoke. It takes a few moments for Jaden to get ready to teleport, so he can't exactly use it to evade attacks [i]unless[/i] he's fighting the world's slowest enemy. Should he teleport behind an enemy, he can follow it up with an attack or a slash of his blades. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Judo-Flip[/u] [indent] Jaden can suddenly flip up into the air, rolling as he comes to the ground. In the middle of this technique, he can follow it up with a kick, a grapple, or a downward slash of one of his swords. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Dive-Kick[/u] [indent] Jaden infuses the end of his foot with ki as he launches himself straight at an opponent. It's great for clearing distance on enemies. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Knife-Hand[/u] [indent] A simple technique, he infuses his hand with a lot of ki, and swings it horizontally, or vertically, in a wide arc. He uses this technique in his many combos. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Disguise[/u] [indent] Jaden can disguise himself as a random object if he makes himself small as possible, and focus. He can only maintain a disguise for a few moment. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Decisive Blow[/u] [indent] Jaden uses both of his blades to dash forward, and stab his foe, should both blades connect, he follows this up by hopping on them, and stabbing them with both blades. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Flash-Blades[/u] [indent] Jaden infuses his blades with ki, and slices with both of them faster than what the eye can see in an X motion. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Whirlwind[/u] [indent] Jaden grabs both his blades, and spins around, while jumping upward. It's enough to take enemies out that are above him, while also getting enemies up into the air. [/indent][/indent] [color=olivedrab][u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][u]■ The Legendary Blade[/u] [indent] Jaden pulls out Murakomo, and feels the ki flowing through his body. He raises the sword up into the air, and slices the air, creating a powerful ki wave that'll devastate foes. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Take the Sword[/u] [indent] Jaden slashes with both blades in an X motion similar to his flash blades, but, once the blades connect, Jaden will barrage his foe from all directions. Stabbing them, slashing them, as Japanese Kanji appears above them created by his ki. When he is finished, he'll use Murakumo for one final slash. [/indent][/indent] [color=olivedrab][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Jaden's attacks, while fast and damaging, leave him open, as he's trying to use a fighting style that wasn't meant for up front fights. If he misses, or an opponent blocks, they can definitely capitalize on it and string him into a combo. Jaden is also very cocky, and the type to rush head first without thinking. Not exactly a thinker, but more of a doer. The legendary blade Murakomo also possesses a powerful demon inside of it. If he uses it for more than one slash, he'll slip, and lose himself to the demon in the blade.[/indent][/indent] [/indent] [color=olivedrab][h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][indent][/indent][/indent] [/hider] [sup][sup][sup][sup]Or [@redbaron1234]'s gay characters.[/sup][/sup][/sup][/sup]
