Name: Gosaburo Jiru

Age: 32

Description: Jiru is a tall man with broad shoulders, he tends to tower above the common folk of the land, though more by forvce of will than actual height difference. His upper body is trained to the neglection of his legs, as such he is a good two feet or more across at the shoulders, but cannot run for any vast distance.
Jiru stands about 6 foot 7 and 260 pounds approx. his hair is cropped short to his head, with one small bang being allowed to grow down to his mid-back and two more just afore his ears allowed to have grown to his chin; Jiru is not a handsome man his face is hard set, the mouth little more than a grim line in the face, he has granite features with a square set chin and skin the seems to stretched over his head, giving his face the look of a skeleton.
He shaves fairly often, and thus often has only thin stubble, though he sometimes neglects to shave allowing his beard to grow until it irritates him.
Jiru's body is thick and powerful, built more for a full frontal assault than any type of silent work, nature created a true wonder in Jiru, for not only are his arms large but also they are fast, earning him a reputation as a killer of men, what few known and Jiru tries to hide is that his legs are worth nothing more than show value, as due to the ammount of weight built on his torso and arms, he can move no faster than any normal man, slower even perhaps.
His hair is a stark black now flecked with grey and his eyes are a deep blue, His skin is tanned and like his hair flecked with scars, from various battles.

Personality: Jiru is far from a kind man though on exception he can be, he is extremely independant, going so far as to even slay those who assume control of him as his temper is easily incited by such things.
He pursues what he wants with ruthless abbaddon, and trains himself diligently.
He prefers war over peace and likes those who assert independance of others and display thier strengths up front; Many assume him to be fearless, however this is far from the truth he fears a great deal though often attempts to hide it with false bravado, what he fears most is death, due to its being the one thing which would halt his ambition to be truely free and alone.

History: Jiru was born to his father Gosaburo Makai and his mother Sayatsumei Amai, neither father nor mother were of particular power in the land, but they lived comfortably enough, Jiru being thier only surviving child of seven attempts.
Jiru's mother died when he was only young and his father became a drunk and beat Jiru regualrly, this was what propmted his third killing, the first was of a child in his school, Jiru pushed the boy off a cliff ledge, it was assumed by his elders the boy had slipped and fallen, and Jiru had not told anyone this was at age 8, at 12 he killed a beggar who had persisted in requesting money from the boy and discovered not only a taste for killing but a natural talent for it as well, however it was not these, nor the killing of his father that was to make him seem dishonourable in the eyes of others, for his father had been a thief and was wanted for such.
Instead at the age of 24 having served in a militia force of a local general with dreams of vying as a warlord, when instructed to besige a small town, Jiru countered merely with 'Why bother?', to which the commanding officer retorted swiftly 'Because it is my order; i own you, now obey you cur.' those word i own you were to prove the mans undoing as Jiru as highly skilled man with his blade not to mention exteremly powerfully built spun and with a sweep of his arm and his blade stuck the head from the man's shoulders in one clean blow.
Having made his way out through the aghast troop, Jiru has been wandering the lands working for warlords when it suits him, prefering mostly to live alone and train himself, but every time he figures himself free, a group of bandits or townsfolk stumble upon him and he is force to uproot and move again.
Gosaburo Jiru is known accross the land as a solitary hermit with great strength, not to mention a traitor.

Weapon: Jiru makes use of an unusual style of blade, based upon the horse buster swords [or Zanbato] the haft of the weapon his a quater smaller than a man's arm and half as thick, it is sparesly ornamented, with simply a swirling pattern on a adjoining metal clasp helping to hold the blade to the haft, the blade itself is rather large, it is a rectangluar blade sharpened at one side and roughly the size of a man's torso though only a quater as thick.


Hope he works well, i shall draw and upload picture of both the blade and Jiru himself.
