Kage focuses more on katanas, and Japanese weaponry, and he's a ronin.

Also, he doesn't really care if she kills other for their money. As long as she doesn't harm anyone that he plans on killing, or if she doesn't attack him, then he'll just ignore her.

'...This is it, then.' A disembodied voice - as cold as Kage's own - drifted throughout the half-elf's brain, causing him to narrow his eyes and lightly touch the pure black embroidered hilt of his katana, with rested on his right hip, the sheathe ready to be clicked, and the blade ready to taste the crimson essence of corrupted flesh. It was, indeed, time to get on with his quest, and fulfill whatever destiny his Alliance spread out before him. Multiple people clawed their way to the front of the crowd, eager to sign their name, and Kage slowly stood up, setting his glass down - only a half of the original pure liquid had bee completely downed, and the man hadn't even paid for the water. A large. Orc brute attempted to shove past the motionless ronin, and amongst the quabble of the tavern, no one noticed the sharp 'click' of a katana being sheathed...nor did they noticed a thin red line, spouting out only a pint of blood, appearing on the orc's jugular vein...an instant death. The body swiftly disappeared into the shadows, and Kage continued his way to the front, appearing beside a rather...'tough' lady that had the appearance of an assassin...a class of shadowy warriors that he often worked side by side with on some of his more...dangerous missions.

"Kage...exiled samurai. I give you my blade arm, in exchange for riches." The man's quiet, sharp voice seemed only to register in the ears of those closest to him. Immediately after, he stepped to the side, just as a bustling young adventurer shoved up to the front to scream out his name like an imbecile. Dully, he noticed the assassin move towards the bar, although Kage simply waited for his name and position to be registered.

As soon as he received a tall, polished glass of water, Kage nodded his head in thanks, murmuring a quick wording under his breath in an unknown language before taking a sip out of the cold drink. The Elven man next to him mentioned something about his wolf companion approving of the ronin, and Kage allowed a small arch to narrow at his left eyebrow, even though he only murmured an almost silent 'interesting' in response to the other man's observation. A few others entered the room soon after - a red-haired woman, a barbarian woman clad in furs, and a few others that slightly interested him. They are most-likely here for the recruitment, he thought to himself, retrieving said flier from the satchel on his hakuma pants. It mention this tavern, specifically, and although he was as patient as humanly - and elvenly possible, Kage couldn't help but mentally wonder when the meeting would accurately take place. It was taking a while for this to start up, it seems.

The sound of heavy armor leaning into the seat next to him caused the ronin to glance to the left, watching as what seemed to be a knight sat next to him. The other man held the posture of a warrior of commendable strength, but, not a fan of the 'crusader' types - mostly because they were among the many types that he had killed back to the West, when he was sent on massacre missions - Kage opted to simply extend his dark aura around him, listening in on other conversation as he nursed the cold water in front of him. Yamigakure, his pure-black katana, crafted from the bone of a Dire Dragon, and the metal near a supposed 'Portal to Hell', rang in silence, thirsting for blood...as most Demon weapons did. Kage whispered another phrase under his breath, to appease the weapon until they could feel the wonderful blood of their enemies slicing through the air...

Considering our characters are sitting right beside each other - yours an Elf, and mines...'Peculiar', I believe that your character was, in fact, one of the ones she 'inspected'.

"So...this is the place."

Kage stood on top of a building's tall chimney, glancing around the town below him. After spending the last five years in the Dire Mountains to the west, battling warriors, knights, and the occasional orc camp and militia, along with numerous beasts that dwelled inside of stone caverns, he was back in civilization...changed for the better, or the worst? Only time would tell. In his right hand, the exiled samurai held a waiver...signifying that there would be some sort of meeting...for a quest...held inside of the Spider Nest Tavern. This was his newest assignment as the leader of the Shadow Alliance. See what was going on, and if possible, help to rectify the problem before it began troubling the Alliance. A challenging task...he hoped. Without another thought on the matter, Kage pocketed the note, taking one more glance around before pushing off on his right foot and blasting into the air. He was a black blur as he leaped from obstacle to obstacle, heading for the tavern.

As Kage entered the tavern, he could hear the voices and sounds die down a bit as the more...hard-boiled thugs examined the newcomer. To anyone else, Kage would appear rather...odd, with his unique armor and clothing. Regardless, the ronin ignored the small amount of attention, walking towards the end of the bar and sitting by what seemed to be a male of elven heritage, and whom also seemed to have a...wolf as a pet? A tad uncommon.

"Water, please." Kage's deep, apathetic voice was quiet and sharp, as the man sat and rested his hands in his lap. Samurai politeness was hard to let go, after all.

Actually, I can probably make him into a Dark Knight, only he's more offensive-orientated and he doesn't use a shield. Maybe a new class? Ronin - A samurai that has been exiled from their originally honorable profession?

quest of questionable heroes

Name:
Kage Borne

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Kage is a tall young man, standing around the height of 6 feet, give or take an inch. His skin is rather...pale. It sort of has that tone you would see out of someone that spends an equal amount of time outdoors as he does indoors. His build is also peculiar. While most that comes from his town are either bone thin, or a bit overweight, Kage has a very lean, streamlined, and muscular look about him, from years of training. He weighs something close to 160 or 150, as this goes hand in hand with his build...let's just say a kick or punch from him will send you flying with broken bones and broken dreams, while attempting to run from him will leave you with a similar death. A narrowed, half-lidded appearance his crimson eyes hold, they are lashed by thin eyelashes. Kage's features would be described as 'angular' or 'mature', with chiseled cheek bones and a sharp, yet defined chin. His hair is a midnight-black pool. While it isn't curly, his hair wouldn't be described as straight either. It can be called wavy, because, as stated, it was a mix of the two. It's also rare to see Kage comb or brush it, as he prefers the mismatched strands and such. His eyebrows, sharp and arched, matches his hair color, as in most cases.

Class:
Ronin

Race:
Human, with a quarter of elf blood - as evident by his lightly tipped ears and enhanced agility/speed.

Weapons:
Razor sharp katana, a midnight black. The sheathe for it is also used for blocking person, along with the draw-slash method. He also carries a tanto blade on his lower back, horizontally. Knows a bit of magic - using black magic in combination with blurring sword slashes.

Armor:
On his upper torso, Kage simply wears a set of dark gray armor that is skin-tight, giving off the impression of paper bandages. It keeps his right arm un-wrapped for increased agility. Along with this, he wears a pair of baggy black armored pants that resembles something similar to samurai hakuma.

Allegiance:
Shadow Alliance - An elite guild of ronins. The 'leader', with that 'leader' being Kage, usually takes the most dangerous missions, whilst also giving contracts and assignments to the members.

History:
To be seen later. However, know that he was trained to murder ever since a young age, and he has been sent from samurai to samurai, from ronin to ronin, learning to master the art of the blade.
