A modification of an old OC I've had. If you want an equipment list and such just let me know and I can put one together. Let me know if anything needs to be changed up.
Powers:
Tough Skin: Knight's skin itself is akin to incredibly durable armor. It is impenetrable by normal weaponry, such as bullets. This is not to say that Knight does not feel the impact of the blows, as he still has pain receptors. Bullets hurt, even if they don't penetrate the skin.
Weaknesses:
While his skin is thick, Knight is still prone to mental attacks and can suffer internal injuries. If you throw Knight around too much, his organs can rupture and cause serious damage. Knight's skin can be severely softened by things such as acid, which make him just as vulnerable as anyone else.
Skills/abilities:
Ninjutsu: Knight has been training for much of his life in the arts of ninjutsu. He has achieved high proficiency in Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Kusarigamajutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Kayakujutsu, Hensōjutsu, Shinobi-iri, and Intonjutsu. His incomplete training has left him somewhat unbalanced. His methods of fighting are somewhat bastardized and fueled by anger, leaving him inferior to most trained in the art.
Bio:
It was natural in the mind of a young James that his "Uncle" Riku would adopt him after his parents were killed in a horrific car accident. The young boy had been in the back of the family's minivan when an oncoming semi ran a red light. It was a miracle the boy had survived, one that surprised everyone. And so James was raised from the age of 4 by Riku as his own son. While James believed that Riku had taken him in out of a love for his father, as the two were close friends since college, it became clear by the age of 16 that Riku had adopted the child to prevent the boy from learning the truth.
Riku was a member of the League of Assassins who inevitably went on to form a small criminal empire in San Francisco. He single-handedly trained members of his organizations in the art of Ninjutsu, creating what most would describe as "an army of ninjas." Among them was James, one of the most promising students. His flaw, however, lied in his immense anger and frustration which would cloud his judgement in life and in combat. Meditation wasn't particularly helpful in controlling the anger, leaving Riku to write him off as mostly a lost cause. He continued to train the boy to deter him from digging into his parent's death.
James wasn't much of a detective, but he was one of the best infiltrators Riku had ever taught. During a brief interaction with Riku, the boy's suspicions were aroused. James, in his sleuthing, managed to uncover a secret vault within Riku's office in their home. Inside, James found files on his father's CADMUS research, including a serum labelled "Knight 431." Not being very bright, the curious son injested the serum given the lab notes claimed it was an "enhancement." The pain afterwards was excruciating, and James was only barely able to seal up the vault and get to his room before his adoptive father returned home.
The next day, it became clear what Riku's true colors were. James was abducted on his way to the local convenience store (he wasn't a fan of going to school) by Riku's men in broad daylight. When he awoke, the mentor attempted to kill his pupil... but the sword shattered as it cleaved towards his neck. By the time Riku had managed to understand what had just happened, James had been free from his binds and managed to escape.
Since the incident, James has been on the run. It has been about a year now that the teenager has been on the run. He's managed to gather some of the finest gear that had been gifted him over the years before running away. While it would be best to keep a low profile, James has never been one to stand aside and let innocent people get hurt. He does what he can to help out those in need, and is rather distrusting of organized crime and government after learning of the trail of corruption that lied behind his adoptive father's criminal enterprise. He was the kind of person who could become vital to discovering what was going on in a place like La Vida, which led to a rather interesting invitation that James couldn't possible turn down.
