Next IKEDA KEISUKE This one was actaully really hard and easy at the same time. Clothes while requiring lot of editing on the scale up didn't have too much redesign. But that hair, could not for the life of me do the spiky hair small enough. HAmmer was fun though. Also I love how out of the 3 so far, I dislike the one of myself the most. XD

Shou jerked awake to the sound of a loud roar of anger across the island, rushing out side to see what it was grabbing his sword quickly from where it lay. Looking around the sound had been far off not near, but just really loud. Starting to realise what it was Shou quickly knew he wasn't going to like what, well who was coming his way. Not long later the sight of a enrage Maki appeared from the tree line. Weapon in hand. Shou hoped that this would break down into a fight. Calling him a coward and a thief, Shou felt a sudden burst of anger along with a mix of guilt. He like to think that he was above stealing, but hungry had driven him too it. He had been to tired and hungry to hunt properly before maybe now he could, well if he was still alive after the encounter.
Shou watched not expecting the man's next action of using his weapon to demolish the make shift home he had built rather then attacking him. Well Shou probably deserved it, plus it wasn't like he couldn't rebuild the hut anyway. "Happy now." Shou spat, he hand twisting on the handle of his sword in anger, ready to defend himself from the other man tried to continue venting his own anger. "Get the hell out of here." Shou would order. Neither of them could really afford to risk getting injured so far away from help, maybe that would push the other man into backing off.
If the other man left, Shou would wait until he was sure that the other man was out of earshot. "Damn." He would mutter under his breath moving over to the wreckage of what had been where he was sleeping. Most wasn't usable to rebuild. Tossing the branches and such aside, he planned to use them for another purpose later but for now he had to work on rebuilding. Repeating much as he had done before he'd use his sword to cut suitable branches and build another shelter quickly. Before heading out unto the forest and getting a drink from the brook and returning. Once back, he wouldn't stop working however. He would continue to cut down wood, and start stripping the smaller branches and leaves of them. Putting the larger logs aside, Shou would chuck the rest into his fire and work on relighting it. The plan for next few days now that he was feed, was to get that fire as big as he could. Maybe then someone would see it and rescue him.

Just something I started working on. As to help me think in more detail what my character looks like. And as the best form of art I'm capable of is sprite edits. These actually took some effort as rather then editing at the size they were I blew them up and edited them so I could more detail then you could do so at the much smaller size. So first off YAMABARA SHOU Too bad the sword doesnt show up too well with the dark background. List for me of who to do - Jina - Kat -Tak -Haji - Brant - Kenji - Gabs

(OOC: no worries been in bed alot myself. Stupid tooth extraction still has me real-ling.)
Shou couldn't help but smile to himself when Katsumi, said that she would like him to meet Haji. It sounded like something that would be more inclined to happen during times of peace, and not the war torn days that the land were in. However that didn't mean the idea was unwelcome, it be nice to have more happy days. "I'd be glad to sometime." Shou would agree to the request, not knowing he would meet the man some time in the future but his identity disguised.
It seemed that on the settling front though the two of them agreed. Shou didn't have a reason too, he had a home back in Kofu, but he was on the road more often then he was there. Like Katsumi he didn't know if the reason of someone else could hold him there either. "I'm sure that you'll come to some accord when the day it possible comes. Either travelling together, or a home that use on occasion rather then constantly like most would." Shou said trying to reassure her that they would come to some understanding that would make both of them happy, rather then only one of them.
"It's not a bad sounding idea really travelling with someone." Shou added, a half truth in his mind. Yes the idea would make his travel less lonely sometimes, but doubt and fears meant that he was unlikely to do so. Maybe one day he would get over the idea of having people too close. In fact the opening up between him and Kat suggested that day might be closer then he first thought. But it still wasn't today.

Well I wouldn't mind a few threads with my characters. Shou - Social wise, shou could do happy or flirt (He wouldn't know your not a girl, and isn't serious after anyone himself as the idea scares him.) Could also be on of the fighters in you 3rd war idea. Gabriella - Was planning to aim Gabs more towards the strategic side of battle so could be in either your 1st or 2nd war idea. Also GAbs is always up for a drink

It was really too soon for Shou to be up. He knew it but he ignored it, being cooped up back at the camp, healing just wasn’t something that he could do. It had taken some effort for him to slip away. Since their run in with Uesugi forces, Yamada had been keeping a watchful eye over him. Wanting to insure that Shou recover from the injury he had sustained in their escape. However Shou knew that while he hadn’t fully recovered, being up and about was not going to reopen his side. He probably slow the healing, make the pain last longer, but doubted he would do himself anymore permanent harm from doing so.
It wasn’t a long trip away that Shou would find himself in a bustling little village not far from where he had been recovering. People going about their business, and a bustling series of traders making the most of the large villages populous. Trying to move down the street, Shou was starting to regret having decided to come out here. While people were polite and tried to avoid bumping into each other when they could. It wasn’t always possible. The occasional bumping of people was seriously annoying him. His side complaining at the jolting.
Pushing his annoyance down Shou would continue to browse. Planning to spend what little he had on maybe a few luxuries not normally found in camp. However another person would hit him, harder then before, and while Shou had no way of seeing if it had been their fault, pain tipped him over the edge for a brief second. Turning one hand clutching his side, his other tensing in anger. “Would you watch it!” Shou would snap briefly, momentary hostility that he didn’t really like of himself, getting the best of him.

UPGRADING
Uesugi Gauntlets: A pair of arm guards taken from the Uesugi soldier Shou killed, though it only protects the forearms, the metal is of top notch quality. Nothing but the finest for Uesugi Kenshin's soldiers it seems.+5 Con
TO
Spymaster Secret Shots: (Demon Medallion) – *Upgraded Once* Once a pair of Uesugi gauntlets these have been stripped down, the hand section removed, and converted into a pair of sturdy bracers. Added on to these bracers a concealed one-shot poison dart launcher has been added. +5 Con, +4 Wis .
Power: Twice per thread/Once per each bracer. May fire a small dart covered in poison. This poison weakens the target. This reduces the targets base STR and DEX by ¼ the users Total SPR, rounded down, this effect cannot lower a character base STR or DEX below 10. This effect last on the target for 3 posts.
COST = 60 + 120 + 800 + 1000 = 1980

It another of those kinda uses both stats really. In the same way reaction time, is perceiving the threat and then moving. Aim which is hand-eye coordination (Something in the name) kinda uses both as well. Plus nethier dex or wis actaully list accuracy with ranged weapons as part of what they do. So according to the RAW no stat does it lol.

Actually that was me miss typing Kit. WIS is the accuracy stat for the board. However years of DnD where Dex is the Range combat stat influenced me and I was on auto polite.
EDIT: Yeah so far they are pretty much something to be RPed more then actual mechanical benefits. That's why I suggested items with Prof requirements to give them some hard line effect as well.
As having Stealth Prof make my character better at stealth and I play him like stealth is major to him. But I high enough Wis character would still see me.

As far as i know they are rough guideline of people skills instead of stats.
A high Dex make you better with ranged weapon, but the marksmanship prof is like saying your actually trained as well as innately skilled. You might also be light on your feet with high dex, but a hight Stealth prof would mean you just really practised at being silent.
There may also be some use for Horsemanship down the line, to do with having npcish horses. Might be a cool idea though to create items with not a stat requirement but a Prof one.
Ranged weapon with Markmanship Prof requirement. Armour with the Endurance Prof requirement.

Shou groaned in pain, far away as he was helped from his horse and carried inside. Mind in the past and old memories. It had been arrows back then that had nearly taken his life as well, preventing him from getting a message to aid his quick enough. A faint realization in his mind ended the parallels, for while back then succumbs to his wounds had meant he had been to late, had failed. Here he was now, and Yamada and the information that he had was with him safe.
Eventually he would be lay down somewhere, he couldn't tell where but knew it was a good thing. However something stopped him from drifting off from blood loss. "Yamada-san." He called weakly, not knowing if the man was wish them. "Delivery the info." He'd order the spy, if he was going to be here bleeding he may as well insure that job was done.

Shou saw how large the camp was, and didn't really like it, but like this escape would be easy. However when he broke away from the tent intending to leave, he realised that his feet were slowly coming back into view. What ever god had granted him this shroud from others eyes did not want him leaving but why. Shou returned to his hiding spot and thought through what had happened so far.
By the gods, the man had mentioned others before he had been killed, that thought of dying causing him to wince. Hoping that invisibility would come back and last, Shou headed for where had originally been held, maybe these others were also inside and he just hadn't been in a position to see them.

Well this was certainly odd, maybe he hadn't been imagining things earlier, Shou thought as he saw the men argue looking right through him. As silently as he could Shou would creep back past the guard to outside. Bright light greeting his eyes once more. Maybe now he could get away. Shou would quickly circle the tent so that he would be on the side opposite to where the entrance was and the guards that had escorted him over.
He didn't know if this effect would last and getting out of sight seemed like a good idea still. Once he felt he was safe Shou would examine what of the camp he could see, looking for the shortest route out of the place to saftey. Also he had to warn those back home that the Miki planned to openly assist the Uesugi, that wasn't a good thing.

Shou watched as the food was destroyed in front of him, that was annoying. Being pulled out, and beaten similar to the last time, Shou was thrown outside into the light. Looking down his eyes blurred, they must have done as he could have sworn that his feet had briefly not been there.
Maybe not getting the food this time round was leaving him weaker then he through. Shou would move on when instructed, much like before. However this time as they would reach the tent. Shou would dodge forward into the tent when the man tried to kick him inside. Best to avoid as much pain as possible with having eaten.

Shou was awake in a faction of a second, even before the guard finished talking he was getting to his feet. One hand clutched to his neck, a phantom feeling of pain. Something wasn't what it seemed here, what had just happened. He was back in the cell, same guard as before, same word. Well he might as well confuse the guard a little.
"You better take me to the Miki man at the main tent. No need for the rod." Shou would say, hoping the guard would be shocked at Shou realising where he was so quickly. Shou couldn't help but wonder what had happened, but had no insurance it would happen again. This was a second chance.

Shou listened as the man spoke, knowing that he wasn't going to be able to bluff his way free. However he wasn't going to let go of his loyalty. He eyed the poker, heated and obvious means to torture information out of someone. It did not seem the man, planned to kill him as quickly as he implied. Which made sense, why kill a source of info if you could potential make them break.
"I will tell someone at the Uesugi feet nothing." Shou spat, before breathing inwards and calming himself as he expected the pain to quickly follow. All he had to do was not break, long enough for someone to hopefully come to his aid. And hopefully that aid, or some means of escape would come before the man grew to impatience and did just have Shou killed.

This was not good. Not just bad as he had thought but beyond terrible. The man was asking for something he wouldn't give, but Shou had no desire to die, not yet. The idea of these men helping the Uesugi against the Takeda infuriated him but he kept the feeling down. The pat on his head, like he was a dog making it hard to have done so. It was time to not deflect but tell the absolute truth and lie all at the same time.
"I'm a courier, I deliver messages that's it. I know where the camps I delivery to are, but I'm sure you could discover that. As for tactic, we Takeda are famed for are horsemanship, I'm sure however that you already knew." Shou said given up only thing the man may already, he was being difficult but put on a tone of honesty and fear as best he could.
