Name: Hiroshi Yagyu
Age: 18
Appearance:Personality: Hiroshi is kind, shy, and a little awkward in social situations. He has terrible luck with women, which is to say he can barely muster up the courage to speak to them, and is accomodating to a fault. However, he can also be extremely serious, cold, and distant. That part of him is caused by his family and upbringing. He has a strong dislike for most of his family, especially his father, the only exception being his younger sister, Saechi.
Abilities: As the rightful future head of the prestigious Yagyu clan, Hiroshi is quite adept at Japanese sword play, both Kendo and Iaido. The family's magecraft is simple reinforcement, used on their bodies and blades. However, in an attempt to distance himself from his family, Hiroshi has taken up the study of Conversion of Power and Jewel Magecraft. He uses stones in place of jewels, and is still quite a novice with them. He can turn stones into small explosives at best.
History: Hiroshi is the eldest son of Itten Yagyu, current head of the Yagyu clan. The name Yagyu dates back to 1565, when Yagyu Munetoshi took over the Shinkage-ryu school of swordplay. The Yagyu family has produced capable swordsmen, samurai, and magi throughout history, and the family has the pride to show for it. As a child, Hiroshi accepted this completely. He was proud. He knew he was better than most of the kids in his class. However, that changed when his father came home one day and found Hiroshi playing with his bestfriend at the time in the family complex. Itten unceremoniously threw the young boy from their home and beat Hiroshi for bringing such "low-blooded trash" to their family's home. It was then that the seed of resentment was planted within Hiroshi. He began to notice things. The apathy between his parents, so distant toward one another even a child could tell there was no love there. Their treatment of the maids and butlers, which could be described as disintrested at best, degrading and demoralizing at worst. The last straw was their treatment of his sister, holding her to the same impossible standard they had held him to. He'd had enough. After a shouting match with his father that came to blows, Hiroshi revealed that he'd surpassed Itten some years ago. He left his father bruised and bloodied on the ground, but ultimately uninjured, and took his sister away. He emptied out his bank account before his parents could freeze it and bought a small apartment for the two of them to live in. They have been there since, with Saechi going to school and Hiroshi working various oddjobs to supplement his funds.
