Ok.

Azi, Are we close of what we talked about while ago about my character? and what was that? I don't quite remember.



About samurai children,
There are no records I am aware of that specify age. The child would choose one's 'adult name' when one felt he was an adult.

Samurai children grew up learning to fight unarmed and with all weapons available (including firearms when they came), read and write, ride horses, swim, dive, and be unwaveringly loyal and brave. Horseback archery was practised on living dogs (often the pets of the shooter), children grew up without pleasure or punishment and were rigidly obedient, and once they became adults, they'd go to war. In some radical cases, they practised random roadside killings to test their swords. Indeed, they could kill commoners if offended and continue without further ado without trial (though this would later change, and samurai who killed peasants were given the death penalty). Samurai also practised headhunting but respected the heads they took.

Japanese culture back then was very civilised yet very cruel, strikingly contrasting European culture.

Okay so Azi, your bio is a bit too unusual for the roleplay. The way you've set your character up as what seems to be an emotionless, possibly psychotic hunter/survivalist who apparently hears whispers and sees white eyes everywhere is definitely not the feel I was going for. It makes it out as he's seen and heard what the 'party' saw and heard a billion times through his life and is totally uncaring of it.

Which, due to reasons, would not be the case. Sorry, but you're going to need to rethink your character. I am Inferi.

Wait, hearing whispers and seeing visions of things that aren't there isn't normal?!

I... uh... I'm asking for a friend!



That being said, I think Azi's character is kind of cool. Such a harsh upbringing would bring about a sense of apathy, which might be triggered by some sort of depression. It would also explain the hair trigger temper when provoked.

Having a character like him would be like living next to a closet serial killer, a concept that actually sounds kinda cool.

Personally, I just don't see such a character fitting into the group. The apathetic, possibly serial-killer survivalist is, quite frankly, far too much of a 'min-max' character in the setting who is unlikely to mesh well with the more emotional teens seeking revenge.

That's also passing over the multiple mentions of him hearing the whispers of the thing that killed Cat and seeing its eyes everywhere. There is VERY good reason he wouldn't hear or see those things until that night - one being that he'd have been dead years ago if it were the case. I am Inferi.
