Toroshimi

Profile
"..."

Hailing from the alternate universe, this Benefactor is trained in the ancient Japanese art of Ninjutsu. Extremely athletic, to the point of being super-human. Of course, his enhancements and armor have something to do with this. Due to an incident in his early life, Shinjii is unable to speak, having to find other ways to communicate with those around him; which at times can prove to be rather difficult. As a result, he tends to feel more comfortable operating alone. Expertly trained with many different hand-to-hand weapons, his preference is for his spiritual blade, given to him by his sensei when he was deemed to be ready to learn its secrets. His power armor further enhances this, making him a formidable foe in combat.

History
Originally from Japan in the alternate universe, Shinjii was orphaned at a young age. A Militant bombing of his home town left his parents dead, and himself scared for life. Their family home had been ablaze, in which his parents were unable to get out and were subsequently burnt to death before his very eyes. Fighting his way through the flames, the then teenager managed to escape, albeit at a price. The fire caused the house's windows to explode, one of them doing so in Shinjii's face, leaving him horribly scarred and wounding him to the point where it became impossible for his vocal chords to function - they were completely shredded by falling glass. With nowhere to stay, he lived on the streets for some time, eventually falling in with a 'gang' of guerrilla freedom fighters strongly opposed to the Militant's methods. He wanted vengeance for the death of his parents, and this group fitted his ideals almost perfectly. This gang proved to be far more than just a bunch of street fighters, however. Secretly, this was actually an ancient ninja clan, which became more apparent as the alternate Japan re-adopted its ancient ways. Under the expert tutelage of the clan elders, Shinjii became much more than anyone could ever have thought. His life took a further development when he was among the number transported into the 2k5 universe, where he has been ever since; always doing his best to throw a spanner in the works of the Militants' scheming.
