Name: Yuu Taniguchi

Age: 75

Appearance: Asian ethnicity. Pale skin caused by constant living in darkness. Young. Early twenties in appearance. Straight black hair that falls across his green eyes. He tends to wear darker colors, his favourite being dark blues and purples, so black pants with a purple silk shirt would be common. He has several tattoos across his forearms, all in Japanese. When asked about them, his expression will always become sorrowful and he will walk away in silence. Tall with a muscular build that only comes from intense motivation and dedication. A large scar stretches across his stomach. 

Faction: Vampire

Job: Scout/Hunter

Bio: Born to a dirt poor Japanese family, Yuu is no stranger to hardship. He grew up with garbage and filth and death in the heart of Tokyo. His only goal in life was to care for his younger brother, Takashi. Times were tough and this wasn’t always possible. Their father was a coward and could not be relied upon for protection against the local thugs, so it was up to Yuu to become hardened and ruthless in combat. It wasn’t long after Takashi was born that their mother died. Her death resulted in the breakdown of their father, leaving them totally alone in a harsh world. Somehow, they continued to survive, scrounging for food and beating the guts out of anyone who tried to stop them.

 Yuu’s reputation of being one of the fiercest fighters in Tokyo did not go unnoticed however. One day, shortly after his twenty-third birthday, the local Yakuza came down on them…hard. Yuu came to the burnt out old shack that they called a home one night, after he had come back from a burglary of the nearby meat market. Right away he knew something was wrong. The door was open. Takashi would never do that. He walked in with his knife drawn. A wicked, twelve inch fighting knife with a Tanto point, perfect for stabbing between the ribs. He soon realized it was useless when he saw his brother with a katana to his neck. The man who was wielding it was hidden in the shadows behind him. They wanted Yuu to join them as an enforcer in exchange for his brother’s life. Yuu had no choice but to accept. However, as soon as he stepped toward the man, the katana flashed and Yuu could feel warm liquid running down his face. All he could see was his brother’s terrified eyes as the life drained from them. Then a figure, unnaturally fast, grabbed him from behind and Yuu’s life became pure pain. 

After an eternity, he awoke in a dark room, head pounding, skin burning, lungs aching. Something was wrong, he could feel it. A dark presence in his mind, consuming him, taking his body. The man who killed his brother walked in, even in total darkness, Yuu could identify him. The man handed him an old katana, his knife, and a semi-automatic handgun (or revolver, I’m not sure what time period this is supposed to be). Yuu had no reason to obey the man. In fact, his entire soul wanted to rip his heart from his chest, but he couldn’t and Yuu did not know why. The man sent him to America, where he would work with another group of people like him. Years passed since then, but Yuu never felt any older, nor did he look it. He just…survived. Instilled with an intense fear of the sun, he would only move in the dead of night, stalking his enemies from the shadows. By this time, Yuu knew what he had become and learned to embrace it with the goal of revenge in mind. He was no longer under the suppressing power of that man, but he had nowhere else to go, so he has been working and waiting and moving up the ranks, hoping that one day he would find a way to kill the man and avenge his fallen brother.
Personality: Quiet. Unfriendly. When he does talk it is always short and to the point. His entire being is made of revenge and rage, leaving room for nothing else. No hope, no love, and absolutely no desire for that to change.

Family/Relationships: Described in bio

Weapons: Described in bio. The katana is his weapon of choice. He keeps it maintained in perfect condition and treats it with more care than the people around him. He wants the weapon the man gave him to be used in his own downfall. 

Sorry for the super long bio, I got a little inspired!
