"I hate people who lie to themselves."
- Ryou Kin
Name: Ryou Kin, "Angel of Death"
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Style: Original
Residence: Xi Liang
Personality:
This is one man who shows little care, but under it all he truly does. Kin will cut right to business and kill all the sweet words. Forward and right to the point. He would rather not listen, unless he have to, and go out and get whatever needs to be done.
Appearance:
Body well built and fitted. With so much chaos in china and it never ending, being fit is a must. Ryou keeps his body in shape and form by doing different kinds of training excises. Not only that but he tries his best to eat healthy and keep it that way.
Apparel/Armour:
Just as you see with the photo above, Ryou Kin wears amour in almost all areas of his body. Shoulder guards, Breastplate, Greaves, and if he choose then it would be a Helm as well. Most of his major joints are free for movement. Such as his elbows, and ankles. Some others restricts his movements only a little, which are his wrist, neck, and his upper leg. This amour is something that Kin always wear throughout his day, even through the night. With such dangers of China always coming down on him, he sometimes forget he is even wearing the amour.
Weapon(s):
The sword. Better yet, two. Duel wielding swords is Ryou Kin specialty. Both of his swords and short, curved with a sharp hook on the end. His hilt is also curved out a bit. These weapons gives him a feeling of moving like water, going with the flow so it seems.
History:
From the time of birth, this child just seems to bring death with him. After he was born his mother died shortly after, not even a day in is mom's arms. Torn from the lost of his wife, the father his child in his arms and thrown his one and only son into a river. Not long after he done that, he killed himself, thinking, guessing, and hoping that he will be one with his wife and child.
Nearly hitting the bottom of the river, the child floated to the top and downstream. For only about ten minutes or so that child sailed, flowing with the flow, until being picked up by some man. That man carried that child like he was his own, taking him up to and through the mountains. Throughout the way he was thinking of a name for the child. No child can not live without a name, no one can. So, after reaching his little hut near the peak of the mountain, Ryou Kin came to mind and so it was the start of his life.
Growing up the newly grown teen just seem to be doing all of the physical work. The man will give Kin puzzles to solve and if he got them wrong, well more physical work. Kin was taught many and different kinds of things. He learned how to hunt with a bow and arrow, learned how to think on the fly, a bit of a playful sneaking, and more things that was just part of the everyday life. All these things through the teen's eyes were fun and interesting.
Moving through those teen years he neared his time for a adult. Questions begin to arise, more serious than his younger years. Where is mother? What did you use to do? All kinds of questions begin to pop in his mind but the old man couldn’t have answered them all. And so the old man told him the truth of all that he knows. He even told him why he has been treating Kin the way he have, even treating him harder as he grew.
Ryou Kin heard all of these facts, truths, and what was going on in his home land. From there at the age of 16, he was taught how to wield a sword. A sword would not be the only thing that he will wield but it will be what he master. The old man teaches Ryou how to defend against blunt weapons, how to seek the better cover when taking fire from an arrow, even learning some basic and advance tactics that he can use.
Throughout all of this training, Kin realized that this old man was teaching him much more things like this when he was younger. Everything that he done since he was a child seems to be the pretest of all of this current training. The puzzles and the physical work were all just there for the future. Mastering all that the old man has taught him, the man wanted to see how far this young lade can go.
Pushing into his adult hood, the old man told him that he wanted to teach him that he have never taught anyone before, Duel Wielding. His style of duel wielding of course. Kin accepted the offer, for the thrill of though. Much time and effort was put into this tough training that the man presented to him. Still, not surprising but the boy passed everything with flying colors, as if meant to learn and do all of this.
Now, both the old man and the young boy grabbed their swords. A duel it was. Ryou Kin was cocky thinking that the young and fitted one will prevail. The old man thought otherwise. Both went at it and Ryou just couldn’t seem to beat his master. For almost an hour of fighting, Kin slowed and halted himself. Thinking of a way to defeat his master, and with a few moves and a sweep, the old man fell to his back in defeat. A proud man to be so happy of his pupil. For such a victory, he showed Kin how to make and forge his own weapon if he needed to. Master and Pupil making a sword. And so those two very swords will never leave Ryou Kin's side.
Yet later after Ryou has earned his own weapons, he figured out that the man was ill. After about a few weeks that old man, master, and father died. Ryou did not sorrow over the death of his master. He just accepted it, knowing that he has learned so much from him and there was nothing he could have done to prevent him from reaching the afterlife.
Taking a torch he burning everything. His master and the very structure that the man built. All of this childhood history burned away into ashes. With a sack of food, pouch of water, and those very swords Ryou Kin left the mountains and headed for whatever will meet his fate.
