He has notably pale skin and an epicanthic fold, with several small scars on his body, though nothing overly noticeable. He has shaggy and incredibly disheveled hair, jet black, which can never, ever, be tamed. His eyes are dark, dark brown, and always observant, like a hawk. [h3] Personal Information [/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] Shiro was taught from an early age to be respectful and mature, and respect and maturity are constantly exuded at all times. Shiro is very polite to others, especially teachers (but also students), though he doesn’t bow like a total stereotype. Shiro is also very punctual, and goes to lengths to ensure that everything is completed in due time. Shiro is a bit of a perfectionist, and constantly makes sure everything is constantly clean and in place, which is normally a good thing, unless it goes too far. Shiro is not abnormally shy, but he is not the greatest with big crowds. Perhaps it’s because as a child he spent much of his time training alone, or because he’s worried he’ll screw up his english. He prefers smaller groups, not more than 4 other people, and would probably be considered an introvert. That being said, he does not freeze up with large groups and can communicate, at least. Shiro is a very thoughtful and kind person, a caring student who is loyal and obedient to his peers. He's rather courageous and curious and is willing to adventure out to find things. Overall, he’s a very likeable individual. [b]Bio:[/b] Shiro’s family has long been composed of warriors and spies. The Yamazaki family was a long line of samurai in the early days of Japan, and later would become advisors to the Japanese government and military officials. Many of the members of the Yamazaki family had attended S.P.I.G.A., including Shiro’s father, Yoshi (not the dinosaur.) Shiro’s mother was a struggling business consultant living in a Tokyo apartment just above the poverty line. The two met by fate when a criminal attempted to mug Shiro’s mother. Yoshi intervened and saved her, and they began a relationship, where Shiro’s mother, Michie, learned about his job as a government agent. The two would eventually wed and have a child. Shiro, said child, was trained by his father at a very young age in a variety of crafts, including martial arts, swordsmanship, and a variety of other crafts. Yoshi was a very strict educator and parent, but Michie’s more normal view kept him from going over the line. At age 14, Shiro was more talented than a majority of agents that did not attend S.P.I.G.A. Yoshi believed he was ready and signed him up to be sent off to the Academy. [h3]Spy Information[/h3] [b]Talents:[/b] [list] [*][b]Physical Prowess[/b]: Very fit for his age. He put on quite a bit of muscle training and is stronger and more agile than most people, but his true physical strength is his reflexes. He can react much faster than many other people. [*][b]Master Swordsman[/b]: When it comes to using swords, there are few teenagers as talented as Shiro. Years of physical and reflex training have allowed him to use a blade highly effectively. Master in the art of iaido. Can’t deflect bullets though, rip. [*][b]Expert Martial Artist[/b]: While his swordwork is more honed than his martial arts, Shiro is well-trained in aikido, a martial art that focuses on fluidity and blending with the attacker, and jiujitsu, which focuses on indirectly countering attacks. While those are the only two he’s well-versed in, he has a theoretical knowledge of many, many martial arts. [*][b]First Aid[/b]: His knowledge of first aid is limited, but limited knowledge can save your life. He can patch up a wound OK. [*][b]Memory[/b]: While not eidetic, Shiro’s memory is ridiculously good. Combined with rather keen observation, Shiro can recall details that others would have forgotten. [*][b]Marksmanship[/b]: Definitely not a talented marksman, but at least he can aim decently and land a bullet with moderate accuracy. Not crazy for guns overall, though. [*][b]Culinary Arts[/b]: A talented chef, Shiro has cooked for himself and his family and can make a meal out of about anything. [/list] [b]Gadgetry:[/b] [list] [*][b]Hand-Made Samurai Sword[/b]: A masterfully crafted blade, Shiro’s sword was built by one of the finest swordsmakers still around and is both sharp and durable. He puts a plastic case on it to make it non-lethal when necessary. [*][b]Walter PK380[/b]: Carries this weapon in case the need for a firearm arises. Not seen often. [*][b]Ballpoint Pen[/b]: It looks like a ballpoint pen. It IS a ballpoint pen. But the pen also contains two darts full of paralytic chemicals that can remove a person’s ability to walk in 2 minutes. [*][b]GPS Tracker[/b]: A small device only the size of a ladybug, the device can track any individual anywhere across the globe and has a battery life of 1 week once activated. Pretty handy. [*][b]Smartphone[/b]: A smartphone with lots of personal information on here. 2 separate passwords, fingerprint, and retinal scan required to access it. Has a very good, long-distance camera on it (unlike the potatoes that most phones these days have) [/list] [b]Other Items:[/b] [list] [*][b]Standard Suitcase Of Clothes And Stuff[/b] [*][b] Bottle of Febreeze[/b]: to keep the area smelling good. Life tip: keep one on you when going to new places. [/list] [h3]Other Information[/h3] [i]if i think of anything i’ll update this maybe[/i] [/center] [/hider]
