So, it'll be a sort of 'sandbox' thing? Please, another sandbox I'm in is going to shit because the GM doesn't want to step in and provide nice, pre-planned setups for everybody. I'm oaky with being thrown to the wolves but at the start of any RP I think it's a necessary evil to be railroaded a bit so that everyone has an idea of what the hell they're doing.

Nonetheless, interested, and making a CS. Of course, please give me a proper one I can re-make it for (In?).

Kosei is fairly standard for an athletically inclined easterner in his later twenties, with a face befitting his mildly noble origins, and muscles more suited for actual work instead of showing off. He stands just a bit shorter then most natives to the land, but isn't amusingly so. At least, to himself.

History: Kosei's backstory is shrouded and unclear, but it is known he's the sole remaining member of some relatively minor dynasty. Indeed, he was the only heir of their land and resources, which he apparently sold off and traded to receive equipment and training he could use to be a wandering swordsman, or 'Ronin'. Nonetheless, he does have quite a surprising amount of funds stocked back in his home country for emergencies, being looked after by his few remaining, but fiercely loyal servants, in addition to a pleasant, but not grandiose retreat.

Kosei came to these lands by boat and now seeks to enter a tournament, to hone his own skills and, if possible, meet 'contacts' that he can find work and things to do through.

Skills: Kosei is, in all honesty, a quick and ruthless monster in close combat, being surprisingly quick with either of his two implements. Of course, his main sword, a native claymore, is quite different than the Katanas and Nodachis he originally trained with, so he's still getting used to using its greater weight. Aside from his surprising aptitude for using all types of swords (but eastern swords even better), he's quite proficient with the small, defensive class of weapons called 'Parrying Daggers'.

Equipment: Kosei wears his old set of training armor, made with a combination of thin pieces of metal and leather. Its relative low weight meshes well with his 'quick, aggressive' style of fighting. For weapons, he usually uses two; a claymore he manages to one-hand with his right, and a Sai he uses in his left hand. Finally, he'd never admit it, but due to his superstitions he wears a special ring, called a 'Misfortunate Fox's Ring', that is said to protect its wielder from fatal wounds or setbacks, yet causes them to fall into minor misfortunes more often in the first place.

Personality: Kosei is a private, determined fellow who tends to make few allies, but the ones that do put up with him (and he deals with in turn) are usually loyal to a fault, and he would gladly raise his sword for in turn. He feels guilt for the mysterious circumstances his entire dynasty has been lost, yet knows he'll likely never get to the bottom of it by himself. He is always seeking more power and worthy foes, and his greatest dreams include fame as a warrior, finding who killed his family, and finding anybody in this land that he can call a 'True Companion', who would preferably help him with his own problems. Of course, the opposite would be fine too.

Simple, but I hope the basic character idea is fine.
