Background:
Unfortunately for Chase he was put in an orphanage at birth and no one wished to take him in. He was a loner mostly not trusting people as he grew up. When he was twelve, puberty hit him, as did his strange ability. The nuns at the orphanage feared it and believed it was a devils power. They constantly beat him whenever he put even the slightest foot wrong. That is till he ran from them
He ran in to the arms of one Hitomi Yamada she taught him how to control his powers and how to use them wisely. It did not take long for his feelings for her to grow beyond those suitable for a teacher and student and even after she was wed his feelings for her still continued to bloom.
IT was shortly after her wedding when his fighting talents emerged and the now Mrs Kobayashi found her self protected by the young boy who was more at home in the dark then most were in the light. It was after that in which the young women decided to bring him to an old friend of hers. One who after a short season with the boy took him under his wing and started to teach the boy the art of ninjutsu.
For ten years he studied under Sensei Kei Kondo and his skill grew to a stage where he began to rival his own master. It was after about a month of struggles in which he made little no to no progress his master sent him away to find his balance. And find it he did for five years he had settled down in a village not too fare from his sensei. There he had found a young woman who was to him the love of his life an after getting married. Then one day while he was out in the sunny fields planting rice the most unthinkable thing happened. The village was raided and the love of his life and his two daughters were killed.
He does not remember much after that only that he tracked down men involved in the mass murder and inturn killed them. It took several years for him to eventually find his centre again and went searching for his former master. Only to find out that he had passed away not two years ago.
After that he soon turned his hand to the mercenary trade selling his sword arm to the highest bidder. But always letting the man know that he was not just a hired hand. He would stick to the code. And if asked to break it would return the man's money in full. And if hounded farther put a knife in his former employers back.
Personality :
Serious. never has a man been less likely to open up around strangers. He has learnt to keep how he feels to him self and since the death of his wife he has come to rarely ever laugh or even smile. To him it seems too painful.
Whity. He has a razor sharp mind and whit to match it. It is a rare occasion in which the wool is pulled over his eyes thou it has happened once. The man never did anything again.
Honourable. While he is a mercenary he is quite capable and willing to under take a task without pay. It is rare that he will do this however it is not completely unheard of.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Chase stood there silently in the dark his feet having made not a single sound as he entered the high-rise apartment. The man at the front desk did not even notice him enter and the cameras in the lobby seemed to have an innocent looking five-second gape on the tape.
The room he was in was rather large living room nice furniture straight out of an Ikea catalogue. But chase knew it to be the home of Ian Fletcher. A man that got off a rape and battery charges on the smallest of technicalities. But in the eyes of his employer. The father of the young women he was accused of raping. He was guilty and he had paid Chase a pretty penny to get rid of him.
It was but a simple case of getting in to the room and hiding. The security systems were hardly even worth bothering about and the lock on the front door was a simple four-pin tumbler. It took him only moments to break on in and hide in a dark corner.
An hour passed and his target finally came home. Chase had not made a single move as he stood there waiting his blade drawn and ready. The man was alone as planed and as he shut the door behind him chase sprang forward and smacked the back of the man’s head with the flat of his Katana knocking him out cold.
It went off with out a hitch Chase then carefully locked the door with his gloved hands and took him in to the bath room where he undressed him and placed him in a bath before slitting the mans neck with his own razor. The crime was perfect no evidence that Chase was even there and the cops already had a classification for the case. Suicide.
“Perfect” he said as he looked over the scene “another day another dollar.” And with that he turned off the light and suddenly disappeared leaving the locked apartment sealed and empty as he used his powers to head home while in the dark shadows of the night.
comments welcome.
