Quote:".....Tired......."
Name: Maki Yoshida
Age: 20
Height:5'7
Class:
Ronin
Occupation:
Drifter
Personality:
- Quiet
- Stoic
- Listless
- Languid
- Violent
Weakness:
- Curse of the Coward: Due to the curse placed on her Maki is unable to hold any kind of of formal weapon (katana, spear, yari, bow, etc.) for more than three minutes. If she should break this her entire body will go through an immense amount of pain, she has passed out from the pain and it doesn't magically go away when she drops the weapon so she avoids breaking that time frame at any cost. The curse applies to any kind of weaponry that requires being held or thrown. The sheath is fine so long as it stays at her waist or back. Though the time resets if she drops the weapon if she picks back up within a matter of second the 'timer' continues.
- She doesn't do extremely well in one on one duels if she can't take the person's weapon away or locate another, she carries one on herself for this moment, but since she can't draw it without a 'cooldown' she leaves herself open while waiting. Since her hand-to-hand is more for defense then attack she ends up on the defensive very often against a skilled fighter in these circumstances.
- She can't use any kind of rifle to save her life, or bows for that matter. She can hurl a spear, kunai, knife, even a sword but any held weapon made specifically for hitting someone from a distance she is awful at. If they get thirty feet away she's going to miss without a doubt, twenty it probably won't be a kill.
Biography: Maki doesn't speak too often of her past generally leaving it up to the imagination of whoever she's talking too, what is known about her is she's been traveling on her own for years and whatever her home was she left it a long time ago and from the way she talks about the event, it's pretty clear it wasn't willingly.
Maki made an effort to seek out any masters she could as she wandered from place to place, learning as much about weapons and how to use them the best she could, for years she perfected her skill fighting against masters, random drifters, anyone that happened to cross her path.
She killed, betrayed and cut apart anyone that stood in her way without remorse of emotion continuing forward on a blood-stained path towards a destination known only to her.
One day Maki encountered a woman who upon meeting she immediately attacked without a moments hesitation in broad daylight, for hours the two clashed with one another each one wanting to claim the life of the other, Maki put her whole being into taking the life of the woman...but in the end she failed and was defeated.
Disarmed she waited for death but instead the woman with a smile that still echoes in Maki's mind muttered something under her breath, and in the next moment Maki's whole body burned as marks were carved into her skin by an invisible force, the pain was excruciating and she was beyond relieved when the pain stopped. She looked at her arms noticing the carved letters fading away before looking up to see the woman gone.
It wouldn't be until later Maki would realize she had been cursed by the woman, taking away the very thing she spent years training just to take her life.
Now Maki continues drifting seeking the woman again, which she believes having the emperor owe her favor will help with.
