Name: Miyamoto Kenji
Faction: Mercenary (For now)
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 170 lbs
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Black
Appearance:
Image Ho!
Kenji is tall for his people, though he does not opt to use this in any fashion. He bears an athletic build, balanced out nicely for strength, agility, and endurance. His body bears but a few scars; specifically, two on his right arm, one on his left, another on his chest, and a fifth on his neck.
Personality:
Kenji is a friendly fellow, offering genuine smiles and conversation to those who would associate with him. Never has he turned down someone in need without perfectly valid reason, for he believes that to do so is not just an affront to one's honor, but to the world at large. He is no saint, nor does he view himself as one or aim to become such; he simply acts as is in his nature.
Still, he is not some goody-goody who lets others walk over him. Kenji has goals of his own that he pursues to the utmost, mostly encompassing personal betterment in all fields. Combined with such desires is a strong, unshakeable will that he knows will be tested until the day he leaves this plane. His ego is mild, and though he adheres to the tenets of honor, at the end of the day, he will do what he feels is right before what is considered most honorable.
When it comes to battle, Kenji's will is most evident in how he acts. He is mentally flexible and attempts to adjust to any situation that arises, addressing it as he best sees fit. He is relentless and tireless in his pursuit of the battle's end, and though he is always aware of his body's limits, he is unafraid to push past them as hard as he can. If his fellow soldier is in danger, and he has the opportunity to help, he will; if that fellow soldier is his friend, nothing short of divine intervention will halt his intercession, for he sees those close to him as most precious.
History:
Kenji was born to the Miyamoto clan in Harima, the oldest of a family in which he was the only male child. Growing up, his four sisters were the treasures of his life, and continue to be such to this day, even when he is apart from them. His father was a strict disciplinarian and a hardy samurai, at the same time unorthodox, choosing to instruct not only Kenji but his sisters - in due time - in bushido, and the many ways of the samurai. This was an act that, while controversial, ensured the survival of the clan in the toughest of times.
Following his fifteenth autumn, Kenji was deemed to have completed his training. However, he did not feel yet accomplished, and opted to pursue musha shugyō. This would in turn allow his siblings to receive more attention and continue their own training, while he would be able to travel the country for the next few years in order to better himself. Kenji spent two and a half years as a moderately-successful mercenary, first under a company of like-minded individuals, then as an independent. Additionally, he would perform bodyguard services for a couple local prefects, and spent time training in schools of swordplay, incorporating their techniques and philosophies into his own.
At nineteen, Kenji finally returned to Harima to find his father dead, and his mother heading the Miyamoto clan in his absence. Though it was both his blood right to take over, and socially standard to do so, he opted to instead become his mother's second until he felt he was ready to succeed. Half a year later, on Kenji's suggestion, the clan moved from Harima to Dewa, taking up residence in a town near the border to Oshu. In order to contribute to his family's resources, he took up a contract with the local prefect, a Mogami clan vassal, whom he continued to work under until present time. His allegiance would be properly decided soon enough.

Inventory:
| Slot | Item(s) |
| Weapons | |
| Primary | Yawarakai-Te II: Its name translating into "Tender Hands," this splendid steel katana, with its refined iron handguard and hilt wrapped in silken cloth cord, was created by a descendant of Masamune, inspired by a legend of his ancestor and Muramasa. Muramasa forged a sword that cut everything in its path, even the very wind, being heralded as an evil weapon. In response, Masamune crafted a sword that did not cut that which was innocent or undeserving, only harming those whom deserved to be. This blade, curiously lightweight and durable, is intended as the latter. +10 Str when attacking, +5 Spr Power: Drawing on the good virtues and willpower of the wielder, this holy sword deals additional light damage with each strike dependent on the wielder's Spirit stat. |
| Secondary | Whip-Sword: This sword is incredibly sharp and strong. Though, in its whip form, it loses its sharpness, but hey, it BECOMES A WHIP. +6 Str when attacking, +6 Dex Power: Form change. This weapon can change from a whip to a sword basically on a whim. |
| Back | Dark Warrior's Nodachi: This nodachi is made of the finest metal, though you're not sure what kind of alloy it is. It is extremely sharp and well crafted. +12 Str when attacking Power: Able to pierce any material. (minus Unpierceable/Unbreakable items).) |
| Legs | |
| Head | |
| Helmet/Bandana | Wanderer's Hat: This straw hat makes you look mysterious. +1 Str (Note: String tied to hat hangs it around Kenji's neck on his back) |
| Mask | |
| Earrings | |
| Torso | |
| Chestplate | Light Warrior's Chestplate: Reforged with the essence of the purified ring, this chestplate retains is very snug fit, mobility, fair size and maximized protection in one. The wearer feels empowered by its purity. +6 Str, +6 Dex, +6 Con Power: Elemental resist. No elemental attacks can harm the wearer's torso. (Light and Dark elements not included.) Mark of Numa: Chest Add-On. The Mon of Numa is carved into the flesh through spiritual means. +3 Wis, +3 Spr |
| Shoulders | |
| Necklace | Amulet of Amaterasu: This amulet appeared in your pocket not long after saving the women on the border of Mino and Shinano. It seems to glow vibrantly in the daytime, and makes you feel stronger. +1 All Stats |

| Arms | |
| Arms | Numa Armguards: These are nifty arm-guards! All I got. +6 Dex |
| Gauntlets | Rider's Whip-Fist: The knuckles on these gauntlets are plated with spiked studs, adding an extra oomph to punches. But if you think that's awesome, just look at the power! +6 Str Power: The knuckles on these gloves can shoot out, a wire attached allowing it to be used as a whip. What's more, the blades on the knuckles can pierce through surfaces and stick, allowing them to be useful as a grappling hook, as well as to retrieve things from long distances. |
| Rings | Kaede's Promise Ring: You don't have this of your own volition, sadly. It seems Kaede found you while you were sleeping and stuck this on your finger! It's really tight (huhuh) so you can't get it off! +5 Wisdom Power: Because Kenji is a lady's man (he is now there's no fighting it), women everywhere will get jealous when they see this ring. They'll either try and make him be unfaithful to the woman who forced this on his finger, or lynch him! I hope, for your sake, it's typically the former. Ring of the Gauntlet: For running the gauntlet as well as you did, you earn a ring to assert your manliness! +3 All Stats Good Luck Charm: Meant to protect you in battle. Add on Item: Can be worn in any slot along with another item. +3 Str, +3 Dex, +3 Con, +1 Wis, +2 Spr |
| Legs | |
| Hakama | Wanderer's Hakama: A comfortable pair of hakama trousers, but they seem a little long. +1 Con |
| Belt | Kaede's Panties: Any Slot Add-On. There were a lot more thrown Kenji's way, but these were those of the woman who helped him in battle! Had to mean something, right? They make you feel kind of like an alpha male, just having 'em! +5 Str |
| Greaves | Rider's Greaves: These greaves are very tough, made of some of the finest steel around. The material on the bottoms provide stability and support in rocky situations. +6 Dex Power: As long as the wearer has both feet on the ground, they can not be knocked down or away. |
| Boots | Wanderer's Sandals: Straw sandals that actually fit your feet, surprisingly. +1 Dex |
