Name: Murai Ryuusei
Faction: Takeda
Ethnicity: Japanese
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 117 lbs
Eye Color: Reddish-brown
Hair Color: Pink (explained in the appearance section)
Appearance:
Ryuusei had not much of a defining figure; his slender body, made slightly muscular by the work at the forge, had some scars coming from his trade. His face looks quite young for his age, and his pink hair, marked with his spirituality and his devotion (take note, rust) to the trade of the blacksmiths, shines brilliantly in the sunlight. Not caring for anyone who looks at him, he frequently wore a kimono with a color similar to his hair when he goes out to buy something in the market, and was also quite as devoted to that color as his devotion to the gods and the art of the forge.
Personality:
Ryuusei was an enthusiastic person, both in his smithing trade and as a proud member of the Takeda. He frequently speaks about the merits of being part of the Takeda to his costumers, and would quickly reprove a person if he speaks ill about the Takeda. In his victories in smithing his weapons, however, he thanks the gods for the magnificent works that he had done, and always attributed his works to the gods. Though he scours the lands for types of weapons that he could make, for him, his only home would be with the Takeda, and, though he wondered why his younger brother Ryunosuke deserted the Takeda, for the honor of his family, he had no choice but to kill his brother.
History:
Ryuusei was born of blacksmith parents in Shinano, and his parents were quick to notice the white hair on the child's head. Thinking that it was a sign from the gods, Ryuusei was revered by his parents, and though his parents took care of him, he was not thought of as a son, but as a being higher than man. He then was taught how to craft swords to be offered to shrines all around the country. Being a person blessed by the gods, having him craft an offering to the gods would bring them double the fortune, is what his parents believed. Or what they had believed.
An explosion in the smithy killed his parents two years ago, and Ryuusei did not know why the blessed of the gods would experience such a thing. He meditated on the topic, when, he had heard from another blacksmith that his younger brother, Ryunosuke, the sole inheritor of his parents' smithing style, deserted the Takeda and killed five soldiers. Moved with rage on this crime against the Daimyo who had the gods' favor due to his caring nature, he picked up the odachi that he might have offered to a shrine that had collapsed, and joined the Takeda as an officer of justice. He would find his brother, hunt him down, and offer his head to the Takeda. This would be the only way he could align back his family's honor with the gods.
