(I decided it was high time I fleshed out Saku's history and whatnot since I never did get around to making a proper bio. Take note, at the time this was written I was at college and had only about 30 minutes to whip up something. Don't worry though, it'll get better.)
Name: Saku Tadokoro
Age: 24
Height: 5'9"
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Saku appears as a man of average height and appearance, at least that's what he wants others to think. His skin is tanned from years of working and living outside with a few scars though those are hidden under his clothing. His eyes are soft brown, and his hair is an odd gunmetal gray that has a dull shine to it as though it were really metal.
Attitude: Saku is generally a quite man, gentle and kind in his movement and actions. He does seem to be easily flustered, especially around beautiful girls, whether from lack of experience around them or something that happened in his past is unknown. However if he is forced into combat (and it has happened before) his demeanor changes, he can become cold or distant. On rare occasions he has appeared vengeful, angry or even cruel. On a side note, Saku has a bit of a size complex and sometimes thinks he's shorter than he really is.
Clothing: (See the pictures below)
History: Little is known about Saku and his past, it always seems to be shrouded in mystery, this done by Saku's own hand. In truth, he lived a rather normal life as a child, playing with his friends, going to school. All was normal until he reached the age of 13, then everything changed. For as long as he could remember, Saku wanted to be a ninja, the reason why was unknown even to him. whether it was to be cool or strong or posses powers beyond a normal human was lost to him. He'd searched for a way to become a ninja for years, so intense was his desire that a ninja clan still living in modern day Japan took notice and came to him with an offer. Join them, become a ninja but in return he must leave behind his old life, his family, even his name.
Saku took the offer and never looked back.
Since that day he became Saku, and the 13-year old that he was before vanished as if he'd fallen off the edge of the world. His training was intense, much the same way a drill instructor breaks down a new recruit and then rebuilds them. Only this breaking down was so extensive that everything about him changed, the way he walked and talked, the way he ate and slept. Even his breathing pattern and the way he would think changed, the only thing that could not be changed was the rhythm of his heartbeat. And his memories.
Upon reaching adulthood however, Saku left the ninja clan, vowing never to return. His reasons for doing so are still unclear and he prefers to keep it that way.
Likes: Friends, quiet days reading, meditation, moonlight, shadows, the wind.
Dislikes: Snakes, rain, bright light (his eyes are sensitive), Loud noises, being caught off guard.
The front door to the inn opened, admitting a man of average height and stature, though the length and cut of his clothing granted him a measure of height he didn't merit. Soft brown eyes scanned the room out of reflex though his feet already began to carry him towards the reception desk and the woman standing behind it. He brushed back his hair from his eyes, but with this new hairstyle, his hair simply fell forward once again and covered his right eye. A brief sigh left his lips and he wondered for what seemed to be the thousandth time why he'd put his hair like this.
Shaking the thoughts aside, he came to a stop before the desk and set down the duffel bag he'd been carrying on his back. The reception lady smiled at him, he smiled back. "Hello sir, how may I help you?" The man pulled open his coat and dug a hand into an inner pocket for his wallet. "I'd like a room please." He said, his voice soft. The woman nodded and continued with her questions. "Alright, will this be a short or long stay, sir?" The man found his wallet and pulled it free as he answered. "Actually, I plan to stay as a resident." The woman nodded again. "Your name please?"
Now the man smiled as he pulled his ID out. "I'm surprised you don't remember me. Saku Tadokoro." The woman blinked as she looked him, then the ID. After a few moments she smiled broadly. "You changed your hair, Mr. Tadokoro." Saku shook his head. "Please, no need for formalities. Just Saku is fine. I'll take room 305 if it's open?" Saku already knew the room was open, he'd snuck in through a window after his talk with Ryoku the night before and unlocked the door from the inside. The receptionist nodded with a smile and quickly brought him the key. "Here you are Mr.- I mean Saku." Saku nodded. "Thank you, this should cover the first month." He said as he took the key and fished out some bills from his wallet, then picked up his bag and put the wallet away while walking toward the stairs.
