Identity: Secret Character Personality: Yamamoto Kikagawa is a reserved and serious man, allowing his actions to speak for him. It is whispered in rumor that he was always at least slightly this way, though it worsened after the murder of his ten year old half-sister. He is a man not above extinguishing the lives of others, as his work as a hired killer requires him to do so. Yet despite this he has his own personal moral conduct, even if it is loose. He is a man who follows the almighty Yen, or in the case, dollar. He is prideful and untrusting, and finds both accepting and giving forgiveness very difficult to do. Once his trust is broken it is very unlikely one will regain it, and though he is a man slow to anger, his Fury knows no end. Resourceful and cunning, he has seen much struggle and strife in his short life.

Yet surpassing even them, at the age of twenty years old he is selected by the Japanese Government to undergo a top secret super soldier project known only as Project: Beesting. Through intense physical and mental conditioning, he becomes a secret weapon to the Japanese military, and wreaks havoc on the Allied forces. He is given a technological yellow and black suit equipped with the best technology the Japanese had to offer during the 1940’s. Yet even he is unable to turn the tide of war after the invention of the Atomic Bomb by the Americans. After his hometown of Nagaski is destroyed by a atomic bomb, he deserts Japan believing if he was faster, stronger, and more trained he could have saved his home. He becomes officially stateless and deserts Japan in the 1946. It is in this same year he impregnates a woman in Tokyo before leaving, allowing for the birth of Katsu. From then on he works as a International Mercenary, siding with the Soviets during the Cold War, wishing for Vengeance against the Americans. Yet his hatred for the Americans was too passionate, and both Russian and American Special Forces assassinated him after deciding that if he was allowed to continue living, he would spark World War 3 between the two superpowers.

Sample Post (Minimum Four paragraphs containing dialogue. As this is an Advanced Level game, Sample must also meet the RPG forum's minimum requirement of 12 lines): Yamamoto spit upon the cold stone floor of the remote hidden base of the ‘The Hidden Blades’, blood in his saliva. His mentor stood before him, a hard grimace on his face. They had been sparring for hours, and Yamamoto was tiring, and his body was sore from repeated strikes to his body by the much more skilled sensei. His body burned with the exertion of the day, and his breath came in ragged and shallow gulps. “You are weak, Yamamoto. You think you are ready to be a true Blade. Yet you can barely keep pace with an old man.” He chuckled harshly and approached slowly, his arms raised and poised to strike. Before the youth could reply, a sweeping kick came to knock the man onto the floor, yet he leaped into the air, over the attempted kick. Landing with a thud, Yamamoto swung his fist harshly, yet found it land squarely in the palm of his master. With a yank, the master pulled the bruised man in forcefully, connecting a fist to the chin of the boy. He stumbled backwards, dazed, and fell onto his back on the floor. The sensei approached once more, looking down upon the finally defeated aspiring assassin. “Please, master… I can barely breathe. I can’t continue. I can’t keep up…” Cried the wounded youth, sprawled eagle on the floor, barely able to see straight. “You think Death is fair…?” Whispered the Master sadistically, sending a swift kick into the ribs of the defenseless Yamamoto. “You think Death will wait for you to catch your breath..?” He spoke one more, now sending a kick to the head of Yamamoto, his vision becoming even more blurred. “Your mother would be ashamed. You wish to become one with Death. Yet you wish Death to serve you and your whims. Your weak and fragile body. Always remember this, my student. Death shall never serve you. You shall serve Death.” With those final words echoing in his head, Yamamoto Kikagawa fell into darkness, and unconsciousness overtook him.
