Name: Shen Wu
Alias: The Hungry Wolf
Age: Mid-Twenties
Classification: Vagabond/Mercenary
Residence: Unknown
Appearance:
For a swordsman by trade such as himself, whether he wants to admit it or not, Shen Wu looks young. He is in his mid-twenties and retains a large amount of the youthful features he did as a boy. His eyes are a peircing icy blue color, sharply contrasting the two small gray colored orbs gauged into each of his ears. His hair is jet black and kept long, usually seen tied up into something of a 'samurai' pony tail or something similar. On most occasions a small amount of stubble fills his chin and his neck, being shaved only for the most important of occasions. Handsome is one word that some may use to describe him, however that opinion changes in many cases when one sees the scars that frame his entire body.
Many many small scars frame his forearms and the entirety of his legs, while large more memorable scars frame his chest and back. He has a large, deep and very precisely inflicted X shaped scar on the right side of his chest and a long careless inflicted jagged scar from his left collarbone down to his navel. On his back are several small wounds fanned out into larger ones inflicted from a series of flaming arrows as well as a large scar from his lef shoulder down to the right side of his waist.
AS well as many other smaller, less 'important' scars. His body is very well tanned from training since the age of four, providing a much needed dark contrast to the milky pink scars he bares on his skin. He stands at a fairly normal looking 6 feet tall, with toned muscles from years upon years of training with the sword.
Personality: Shen Wu knows one thing more than anything else in life. That one thing being Swordsmanship. He was said to have been a prodigy in his youth and is becoming even more and more a legend of swordsmanship in some circles as time goes on. However, he doesn't let this advantage on the battlefield go to his head. He was born with a natural penchant for his talents with the sword and trained tirelessly to get where he is at. He ia a humble opponent, one who wil flip his blade and dispatch you with the backside of his blade simply because his opponent is not deserving of the death he is so capable of bringing. That fact alone has earned Shen Wu the respect that he has receieved from all the other mercenaries and warriors he has worked with. Anyone can swing a sword and kill someone without regret, very few men can judge their opponents correctly and act accordingly.
Shen Wu is a very easy going person with anything aside from his swordsmanship. He won't sweat the small stuff so to speak. On the battlefield however, Shen Wu has a keen eye for everything one must know in order to survive. He not only brings his swordsmanship genius to the table, but he is also an expert at noticing traps, ambushes and things of that like. He can do so much naturally, but he can't speak to an attractive woman competently or speak to a ruler with the right use of vocabulary and the right usage of respectable actions. It is simply a side effect of his upbringing and profession. Shen Wu loves battle more than anything in life, and remains deadly serious in most cases on the battlefield. Simply put, Shen Wu is a man who enjoys his life both in and out of battle.
Weapon: Garou [Hungry Wolf] and Ookamitsume [Wolf's Claw]
i11.photobucket.com/albums/a175/Ninjablaze/369_3_GDREJ_king-of-wolves-044-jpg.jpg
Garou is a Japanese curved long sword (katana) with a black and gray colored sheath, hilt and guard. It is almost 5 feet in length and superbly crafted. It is slung across his back.
Ookamitsume is a much shorter Wakizashi style sword with matching colors. It is about two feet in length and equally as well made as Garou. It remains somewhat hidden at his waist.
Weapon Strength: Garou can be swung with just as much speed and grace as a much lighter weapon and due to its superb craftsmanship is extremely sturdy and very sharp, making it a ridiculously dangerous weapon in Shen Wu's hands. The same can be said about Ookamitsume.
Weapon Weakness: Garou cannot be swung in small areas and usually is a pain to sheath once unsheathed. Ookamitsume is smaller, thus cannot stand up to larger weapons like Garou can.
Armor:
i11.photobucket.com/albums/a175/Ninjablaze/369_5_OXVOT_king-of-wolves-111-jpg.jpg
A mix between free moving cloth, chain mail and hardened leather. Pouldrons made of a mix between iron and leather protect his shoulders and small leather pads linked together cover his upper arms as well. The lower portion of his arms are covered first in long leather fingerless gloves, which are then covered in the same iron leather mix as his pouldrons to form guantlets of sorts. A Leather belt meeting with light leather chest armor meet with linked iron-leather legguards. Finally, cloth pants and iron leather boots finish the armor. In some places the image of a Wolf shows up on his armor as well. Notably the shoulders and chest area. Plain Free moving cloth armor covers his entire body underneath the armor.
History: Largely Unknown. Shen Wu is presumably a Japanese man by birth sent to china after his family was supposed ot have been killed by a rival samurai group. Since then, Shen Wu has trained under a swordsman who had migrated from the East many years before. He has worked with many different military forces in China during his time as a Mercenary and is still, always looking for work. The rest is unkown.
