PHYSICALITY[/u]

• Weight: 180lbs
  
• Apparel: Through the years Kariya has swept through a myriad number of garmenting, however, the one he is most notorious for is the straw hat he so proudly flaunts, as if to give testament to his samurai breed. Over his torso he wears a standard dark beige shihakusho, one of which bears a white inner lining just beneath its collar. Though his old feudal era japan clothing does not end there, not by far; loosely draped over his beige shihakusho is a dark brown jacket. Its sleeves expand easily over both respective hands, making it very useful for hiding small needles, smoke and poison pellets in the hidden pockets within his inner sleeve. His bare legs are covered in what could only be described as a pair of pitch black Hakama that expands down to his ankles before the fabrics themselves end. Upon his feet he wears a simple pair of zori sandals with a pair of silk like socks.Outfit
  
  
• Body Appearance: One who is without knowledge of Kagetoki's identity will most often than not see him as nothing more than a frail, feeble, old man under his loose garmenting. Such is not the case, no with Kagetoki, no, he is the 'one in a million', the 'exception', and the 'once in a lifetime'. Beneath the clothes that make him look like nothing more than a hapless old man lies a body so hard that one could argue that it'd been forged from the flames of god himself. With much training and proper nutritional consumption, Kagetoki's body has-in and of itself- become a weapon. Underneath his straw hate lies a smoothly shaved head sported by his gray eyebrows, mustache, and 4 foot braided goatee.
  
  
• Blemishes & Scars: With his years of experience and countless number of battles Kagetoki has acquired a fair amount of scars, mostly from battle with fellow samurai, however, he has had his share of run-ins with several ninja's.
  

COGNITION[/u]

• Personality:
  The Belief
  
  Kagetoki has been one to believe in peace and equality, and with it all notions, desires, and even thoughts of discrimination have been purged from his nous. Both men and woman of any gauge or caste be them from the slums or any other place. he has obtained an equal level of respect for all just as his parents did. Though his tier of knowledge and mental capacity by far is unable to even compare to those who are much older than he; he still understands and comprehends the meaning to his parents view, that much he could agree upon. Though there has been one thing that they have incessantly disagreed upon, the very methods in which were most effective to achieve this 'peace.' Kagetoki's parents, known by many among the Samurai tried to achieve such goals using the kindness of ones own heart and forgiving those who have wronged. Such were his views, yet these views only presented themselves as 'utterly foolish' to Kagetoki despite never allowing his them to know such things.
  
  Kagetoki's perspective of peace can only be obtained through a limited quantity of options, all which include the shedding of blood in some shape or form. Forgiveness, a trait his mother held dearly to was something he instantly cast aside as the fate of peace (for samurai) had been bestowed upon Kagetoki and his generation of samuraii. Throughout the years Kagetoki has discovered something about both himself and the world, it doesn't change unless something forces it to, be it physically or sub-consciously. As he thought about it, he became stronger, why, because he forced himself to. He allowed himself to push his bodily limits because he forced his body to do so. Nothing changes without influence or something superior that stands towering over it. With blood, with lives of all who have done wrong, the world will change in Kagetoki's eyes.
  
  Samurai Code of Honor
  
  Unlike most other samurai in this dark era, Kagetoki possesses a code of honor, one he lives by in regards to life and combat. While the sense of honor is one nearly lost to all, Kagetoki lives strong in his own, refusing to yield to the ideals or measures of others should their methods interfere with his own measure of honor. He will never combat a woman, regardless of the offense she made against him. While he does not fear combat, if it is necessary, he would respect the foe before him and never demean the enemy, even in death, he would honor their prowess and will to fight by either returning the corpse to his foe's allies or bury the body himself. Kagetoki is a rarity indeed, one who would forever hold to their Samurai code that would keep them human and sane.
  
  Mechanics of Self
  
  When alone, Kagetoki is generally thinking of limited things, at least until his goal is completed. When alone in mental states of relaxation Kagetoki tends to place his mentors sword horizontally in front of him and begins to speak, as though his mentor was right there before him. He does this only when alone and becomes exceedingly angered if his time is interrupted. He uses this in order to keep some form of connection with him, since he feels there is even a realm of existence that even transcends this existence.
  
  Also when alone or around others he feels comfortable with, he will show emotion with little caution, only if he can trust said people. He has never second guessed his wishes nor his methods of attaining peace, though inferior to his mentor he feels as though his methods effectiveness has far transcended him. His home within the land of Iron ronin he is widely known as a botanist and Alchemist, one who has created numerous amounts of poisonous potions to even elixirs that increases adrenaline.
  
  The pain of Battle
  
  His powers and capabilities know no limits. No matter the enemy, he uses the exact level of power that is needed to dispatch of his opponents once their limits, abilities, and fighting prowess has come to bear. His intellect and keen sense of strategies and tactics are his trump cards when facing stronger opponents who are able to easily over power or rival the raw power of his Samurai prowess. Moments where his opponents clearly are unable to fight are the moments where he feels the fight has reached its conclusion, those who let pride consume them and grow persistent in their attacks he by all means has no qualms in depriving a being of its existence. Despite this even then he has no qualms with striking down a defenseless vessel if deemed necessary, though such an act is rarely seen by Kagetoki.
  
  Ageold Rage
  
  Kagetoki does in fact harbor a very deep seated rage for those who speak of his samurai brethren in ill manners in any shape or form. Seeing the Iron ronin as family just as his own biological, he has grown emotionally to them, despite him trying to 'hide' his emotions from others. Just the simple breath that speaks their name has the ability to bring forth a powerful reaction upon the old mans visage. Kagetoki has tendencies to become consumed by this anger, going so far as to blatantly kill or even harm those who he usually refrains from.
