Name: Ryunosuke Nishimura (Western Style)

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Occupation: General of the Sakura Kingdom Army

Physical Description: Tall and muscular, this man is considerably well built, no doubt down to years of intensive training and few days rest. His shoulders are broad and his muscles large, and he often finds himself towering over those who he speaks to. He has a strong jaw and a handsome, if somewhat weary face, a few nicks and scars here and there upon his chin and jaw, noting tussles and fights throughout the years. His hair is long and dark - nearly always tied up and away, looking as if it hasn't been cut in a very long time, but always kept in good condition.

Powers/Skills: Incredibly skilled with the katana and the naginata - mostly taken with him when on horseback. He has been trained since a very young age, so his skill is significantly high with the two weapons he has chosen to focus his practicing on. He has no magic skills whatsoever, though his speed and strength as well as ability to strategize - at least in the areas he specialises in - is almost unparalleled.

Background: Ryunosuke was born to a simple farming family in one of the small communities to the west of Erion city. He was the younger of three brothers, both of whom seemed to be content with their simple farming life, however, when he was very young, food stores became low and harvests had failed for the town that year. So, it was only natural for his family to send him away. Where he ended up was as a young, scared recruit in the Sakura Kingdom Army. For years he worked hard and tirelessly, with a serious, almost competitive personality some time, Ryunosuke found himself quickly rising through the ranks, honing his skill and earning the respect of those around him. During an unsettling period, when murmurs were made of an attack from the Silent Kingdom Ryunosuke - now a Captain - used quick-wittedness and stealth to crush the rebellion before it could cause too much harm. However, some considered his tactics to be rather ruthless and almost reckless, causing the death of more than a few young recruits. This wasn't the only time a few whispers had been said behind his back, rumours of his past, as well as his rise up the ranks of the army. He has become rather serious, now he has grown older, and is rather disapproving of new things and especially young recruits - his army must be run right - or else. He has recently been away on an excursion for the past three years with a certain portion of the army to scout out and protect the Northern borders of the Kingdom.
