Have you read the rules? Yes

Character Name: Shinku Ashikaga

Character Source: Original Character

Starting Location: Opealon

Character Behavior:
Shinku is a Vengeful Assassin. Most of his actions, if not all, are driven by his thirst for revenge. He rarely interacts with people and is very much elusive in any relationship that might turn into a deep bond. He would only converse for the sake of acquiring information and would work simply for his continuous survival. He only views everyone around him as tools that he can use for his pursuit of vengeance.

As an assassin, Shinku mostly avoids direct confrontation as much as he can. His ways in combat are more commonly referred to, as dishonorable as he subdues his victims through a covert and speedy manner. He carefully plans each assault mostly even weeks before confronting his target. When confronted in battle, Shinku would mostly choose to escape as long as he can especially if the opponent does not pique his interest.

Physical Description:

Shinku can often be seen, noticeably by his black disheveled medium length hair. He stands moderately short for a 25 year old man having broad shoulders and lean, tapered body. He has a dark tanned skin with most of his upper body being covered with black tribal tattoos but are mostly hidden under his usual ragged outfit. His eyes are dark brown when exposed to a bright light with a noticeable diagonal scar just beside his left eye.

Character History:

Shinku was born in a now forgotten and abandoned village somewhere at the east of Kirden Wharf. Once, the place was inhabited by villagers who are mostly farmers, miners and blacksmiths living in a rather ancient culture. They are mostly known however, for the practice of the shadow arts and their blacksmiths being able to imbue magic into the weapons they forge. Hence, the village is often visited by few warriors from different parts of Opealon who are able to traverse through a very tricky terrain as the village is hidden deep in a luscious tropical rain forest to engage in trade for their mystic weapons.

For years, the village has lived rather peacefully as most people fear their shadow arts and the perilous terrain that surround the village discourage raiders from disturbing the place. One day however, after one of the village's traditional feast, it's people was surprised with an attack from an unknown band of marauders. With most of their warriors drunk from the night's feast, the people wasn't able to do much to defend themselves. Although somehow being able to put up a fight, they were easily subdued with their assailants who seem to posses weapons with designs that were noticeably from the village itself.

The marauders razed their houses and slaughtered every people, old and children alike, seemingly aiming not to leave a trace of its civilization. At the edge of town however, a woman was able to somehow escape with her child through a small trapdoor built by her husband. Some of the marauders were able to notice the woman as she run for her life outside the village walls and deep into the forest. She was hit by a poisoned arrow which was shot by one of the raiders who then commanded for her pursuit.

The woman was able to go deep into the forest however, her strength starts to fail her due to fatigue and the effect of the poison. She then decided to hide her child into a thicket commanding the child to be quiet no matter what happens as she slowly walks towards a huge tree and lay just beside it. The marauders where finally able to catch up seeing the lady lying beside a tree trying to catch her breath. The boy can only watch hidden in a thicket as one of the men approach his mother. Mercilessly, the man raised his spear then stab the defenseless lady right into her heart. The boy was frozen in fear and agony as men drag his mothers body with them towards the village.

The boy, who was actually Shinku, remained frozen until the men finally disappeared from his sight. Shinku stayed in the forest, for a few days with the thicket where he was hidden serving as his shelter. It took him a while before he can gather the courage to go back to the village where he was born only to witness an even more terrifying scene. At the center of the village was a mountain of burnt bodies piled up. He wailed for almost an hour then composed himself in an oath to hunt for the ones that are responsible for the genocide of his peers and family. Unable to salvage anything usable from their village, Shinku still decided to start his journey in an aim to get stronger and seek for the revenge of his people.

Hi! Welcome to Multerra. Just a quick note about your app, but would you please list the Ranks for each of your ability's Effects beside them? For example, Agility Rank 1 or Speed Rank 2. This is helpful for when you want to upgrade abilities, and also helps staff members reviewing your ability submissions determine how much Essence they might cost.

This all looks great! The only note I would add is that your Rank 2 Teleport ability can only allow your character to travel up to 20 ft/6 meters, not 10 meters.

You're approved, though! Feel free to post your character information in the Character Profiles section of our forum. Happy writing!
