[Above is Saijin's Wanted Poster]
Saijin has sort, black, spiky hair with several bangs that go down pass his eyes. Even though he was born and raised in the Earth Kingdom Saijin carries the looks that those from the Fire nation have: pale skin, and golden colored eyes. Due to this he is often thought to be of the Fire Nation. He has a slim muscular body build that has obviously been through many battles, and stands up to a good 5’ 4”.
Saijin wears black boots, with baggy dark green pants so that his movements are free. Over his torso he wears a short sleeve shirt that matches the color of his pants. Over that he wears a sleeveless robe like most from the Earth Kingdom wear. The green is a bit lighter than his shirt and pants, and the edges are a light green.
/Combat Structure\
[/u][/center]Bending:
Earth Bender; Saijin has no real talent in the bending arts and has had to work hard to learn what he has, but he is barely at an intermidiate level.
Weapons:
Saijin has two weapons his bending, and his short short which he calls Konjou. The Konjou was a weapon given to him by his sensei. It was originally made for his sensei's little brother as a birthday gift however he was ambushed and killed so Jian kept the blade naming it after his little brother. Many years later giving it to Saijin.
The sword was made by Jian's hands it's steals is sharp, and sturdy. And can slice through many things with clean cuts so long as it's owner can use it properly. It's hilt is is black with red straps around the hilt for a better grip. It's sheeth is black and made of steal. On it the Fire Nation insignia in carved in red.
Combat Style:
Although being a member of the Earth Kingdom, along with being an Earth Bender Saijin has very unusal style of fighting complaired to those of his nation. While earth benders fight using heavily rooted stances, strong kicks, and punches that evoke the mass and power of earth Saijin relies more on speed than strength. When it comes to his bending he doesn't rely on it as much as he does on his weaponrey, however he will use it after all why watse a gift? When it comes to bending he isn't very talented however he has made use to learn several special techniques such as the Rock Gloves techniques in which he uses not only on his hands, but on his feet as well, then he uses his bending to allow himself to move quickly around the battle field. He also uses it for defelting basic earth bending moves that are used against him. Also, unlike many Earth Benders, Saijin's upper body strength lacks, but he makes up for that with his speed.
Unlike his bending Saijin is very talented when it comes to weapondry. He can literaly see a move done with a weapon he has yet to use and preform it almost exsactly. He has a great memory so he recalls movements he has seen before and copies them to benifit himself in battle, even if he isn't the type to rush things. His style is that he likes to avoid and block an attacks thrown at him so that he could not only study his opponents movements, but learn how to counter them as well. Most battles he will continue on, but he isn't stupid enough to know when he has been beaten and if the chance happens he will try to avoid being captured.
/Biography\
[/u][/center]Personality:
Saijin seems to be a very clam person almost as if there is nothing on his mind at times and he varies a pond loyalty. Even in this time of peace people have their loyalties to their nation so when it comes to the Fire Nation and Water Tribe members, he reall has no ptoblem. He'll be somewhat nice like any other person a real blend-in-with-the-croued type guy. When hes around either of the nations he seems no different than any other citizen. However when it comes to interacting with members of his own nation he seems to give off a cold arua despite any fke smile, or fake happy additude he put up. At times he tends to be curel despite his trying to hid it, and when or if any ask about it he either brushes it off or tells a very convincing lie which just about all fell for. Saijin is one of very few who doesn't enjoy this new found peace. Infact part of him enjoyed the war for that meant the death of more Earth Kingdom soldiers, however he has accepted the fact, but hasn't stopped him from his goal of destorying his home Kingdom.
Although Saijin is clam to most he isn't really the type to show respect right away, he beilieve respect is something that should be earned for he isn't the type to hand it over on a silver platter. True he knows he has to show respect if he himself wants it and he will show it to those he feels worthy of it, but other than that he can be quite cruel at times for he has a more down to earth veiw on things. He has a great memory in which he uses to learn many techquinkes mainly in how to use a weapon, or a bending more however even when he tries learning bending moves he finds it difficult to use them for he isn't a very talented bender.
History:
Saijin was born in the Earth Kingdom, his father was a loyal, fire bender name Shioji Yin, and his mother was a earth bending, mercenary named Nahata Arrow. After Saijin was born his father had left back to the Fire Nation to help finish the war. Arrow never truly cared about which side won, after all she was a mercenary her loyalties went to those who would pay most. When Yin left, Arrow took Saijin and decided to live with her sister Mishu in her home village known as Hanagumi. It was a small village that has been fighting against the Fire Nation since the war had started. Through most of the year their warriors and benders fought against the Fire Nation in the Earth Kingdom army. Those who were injured always returned home. And at least once a month the soldiers always came to visit their friends, and family. Arrow knew this probably wasn't the best place to go back to seeing to the fact that her lover, was of the Fire Nation. The mercenary just hoped that no one in the village would ever find out. After all she knew there would be hardships to face if they figured out her secret. She knew the village hated any whom have involved themselves with the Fire Nation, however there was no other place to go. As a mercenary she has done nothing, but travel from village to village, never staying in any village for more than a week or so. Thus she had no real home to raise her new born son in. So if he must stay in this reached town then so be it.
For many months she has been able to keep her relationship with Yin a secret from her village, every so often she sent and received letters from Yin so that they would be able to keep in touch with one another. She has always felt lonesome when all the soldiers came to visit the village, while she could never see Yin. So the letters were her only way of communication. And it went well until one day seven months after she first started living in the village once more, Mishu had found several of the letters that Yin has been sending his wife, and son. She began to hate her sister for having a fire bender as a husband and hated her nephew even more for being a child of a fire bender. Although Arrow tried to get her sister to stay quite about it however there was no such luck, word about it spread through out the village. After hearing about it, the village began to hate her for 'betraying' the nation by bearing the child of a fire bender. Despite the hate Arrow chose to stay since she had no where else to go. The villagers did nothing to make her leave due to the fact that all there warriors were fighting against the fire nation and she was the strongest there.
As the years went by Saijin was shunned by the people in his village, not for who he was, but for who his father was, a fire bender. When Saijin was five he started getting into fights with other kids in the village. Everyday he would get into fights with either the other kids of the village or even some of the adults. When he was six once again he got into a fight and discovered he could use earth bending. His mother decided to teach him more bending if he stop getting into fights. He agreed and for a year she trained him teaching him the basics. When he was seven she fell sick, and by symtoms it was obvious that it was a sickness that has been haunting her for years, even before he was born, and not a single person from the village lifted a finger to help her. Saijin begged them to save her but they refused and let her die, for this he hated them even more than before.
A month later the village elder exiled him since now Arrow was no longer there to protect him. Saijin wanted to kill them all then and there, however he was too weak to take on any of them. After all he was just learning earth bending, and besides those basics he had no idea on how to really fight. Also the fact that the soldiers were visiting the village just made things worse for him. So without putting up any type of fight Saijin just did as the elder has said and left the village. The young boy having no idea where to go so he decided to just wonder and hope that he would get somewhere.
For a month Saijin traveled through out the Earth Kingdom just going place to place. However there was no place he could fine where he could be comfortable. Days at a time he would go starving due to the fact that he had no money for food, so he resorted to stealing. At first he wasn't very successful for he had been caught several times. And each time he was caught he was beaten for attempting to steal. Although there were some times where he was successful at it. However it wasn't enough. Part of him wished he could just live off the land and just get food from the forest and such however he was only 7. He didn't know anything about surviving on his own. He had always had his mother with him, and now because of this slagging nation he had nothing.
A month had passed since his banishment the young earth bender was sitting against the wall of a building between to homes, in some random village. His clothes were now nothing but rags, his body had buries all over his body from being beaten. And he was nothing but skin and bones from little food over the month. The young boy just sat down against the cold wall not knowing what else to do when he heard an explosion not to far from where he was at. After the explosion Saijin turned his head and watched as people of the village panic. He himself was a bit scared about what was going on however as he watched these people frighten, and running in complete panic. It brought him joy to see them all in such fear. The young boy covered his head in panic as he herd anther explosion this time much closer. Crawling out of the ally so he could see what was going on he looked toward where the explosion was. Yellow eyes watched as a single man came from the explosion.
The man was about 6' 5", had a muscular figure, and cold yellow eyes that were obviously were filled with hate, and yelling death. He wore lose fighting robes with the fire nation's colors a pond it. Saijin just stared at the man as he hid most of himself within the ally. Some people from the village went forward to try and take the man out. However the man easily deal with them as if they were nothing. Lighting another bomb the murderer threw the bomb in the middle of the village setting off another, bigger explosion. Everything began going on fire. Some of the villagers still tried to escape from death. However before any of the remaining could escape the man had killed them all with his blade. Saijin watched as he slaughtered each and every villager. The young boy admired the guy for being able to something that he could only wish he could do. Struggling to get himself up Saijin came out of hiding so he could get a better look at the man. The young earth bender just watched in the middle of burning buildings as he watched the murderer whipe his blade clean.
"You wish to die boy?" the man asked not having the need to turn around and face the child. Saijin just stood where he was in fear, true he was amazed at what the guy had done however he honestly didn't want to lose his own life in the proses of speaking with him. Taking in a deep breath the young boy spoke up asking if the guy could take him in as a student, Saijin wanted to learn how to fight, he wanted to learn how to kill, he wanted to destroy this nation. However the murderer dined him his request for he was nothing more than another Earth Kingdom citizen. The man would have killed the boy just like he had done with the rest of the people in the village, however seeing the pathetic condition he was in the boy wasn't even worth killing.
After drawing back his weapons the man he walked away, however Saijin wasn't going to let it go that easy. He needed to get stronger, and he felt that this man could help him. And if he were killed by him instead then at least he wouldn't continue living the horrid life he was living. With a deep breath Saijin raised his foot and stomped it on the ground hard bringing up a wall of earth in front of the fire nation soldier so that he could stop him from leaving. "Please..." the young earth bender begged, his breath hard, his body struggling to stand for his injuries were great. "Please I beg you to.... to teach me..." he stopped as the man ran up to him with great speed kicking the boy against a near by wall. Blood spitting out of the young boy's mouth as his body fell on to the cold hard ground. Saijin was able to feel the heat from the burning building against his back. The young boy pulled himself forward going onto his hands so he wouldn't be up against one of the many burning buildings.
"I already told you boy I'm not going to teach you so leave now and I'll spare your life," the man said coldly, anger entering his eyes as he watched the pathetic boy drag himself toward the soldier grabbing onto his leg. The soldier was actually shocked by the boy's will. Why the hell would any earth kingdom member beg one of the fire nation for lessons? Instead of drawing his blade he just looked down at Saijin as he struggled to look up.
"Please.. I beg you I hate this nation more than anything..." Saijin continued as he struggled to look up into the soldier's dark cold eyes. "I want to destroy this kingdom," the young boy once again coughed up blood, "No one in this nation deserves to live and I want to learn how to fight...... so I can kill them all with my bare hands." Unable to keep consciousness the young boy passed out his had dropping onto the ground with a thud.
When he regained conciseness Saijin felt a warm of a fire near him. The young boy thought that he had been felt in the village however turned out he was wrong the minute he opened his eyes, he saw a fire not to far in front of him. And he seemed to be in a forest, Saijin began wondering what had happened since he passed out. When he looked at himself he found that his shirt had been removed, and that most of his injuries have been bandage. That was when he caught a figure coming from the darkness, eyes widen as he saw the murderer.
"Good your up," he said as he sat across the fire from the young boy, stabbing some fish he had caught with a stick and placed them over the fire neither of them saying anything for a while until finally the ma opened his mouth. "So child you have a name?" he asked as he watched the flames.
"Huh? Oh... uhh..." he stuttered at first at the odd breaking of the silence. "Saijin sir, Saijin Shioji."
"Jian," the soldier said quickly after Shijin said his name, "So who was taken from you boy?" A confused looked went on the young boy's face not understanding what he meant. "The kingdom must have taken someone from you, why else would you hate them? After all this is the nation of your birth yes?" Jian explained his question a bit after seeing Saijin's confusion. "Even if you have some features of a one from the fire nation," he added softly to a point where Saijin couldn't hear.
"My mom," Saijin replied softly with sad eyes that also showed hate. The young boy hated thinking about it however he was willing to answer the man. He looked up at the man who took one of the fish from the fire, a confused look going on his face as he looked at the smile that was on his face.
"I see, well start eating your going to need to be strong if your going to survive my training," Jian said with a smile as he took a bite out of the fish. A surprised look went on the young boy's face when he heard those words. The young boy bowed his head thanking Jian and grabbed a fish and started eating. For the next couple of months they did nothing but solid training. Jian not wanting to let the boy step into any village before he could fight a decent battle. It was in those months that Jian learned that the boy had a gift. Not in bending, but in weaponry. Saijin took up the usage of weapons very quickly. Along with weaponry Jain had also taught the boy hand to hand fighting.
The day quickly turned into months and the months turned into years. Saijin continued spending all his time with Jian whether it be for training, or when he went to destroy villages Saijin had always went with him. Each time getting more and more powerful. And at the same time growing feelings for the man making him think of the soldier more as a father than a sensei. As he trained with him his fighting style seemed more like those from the fire nation than those from the earth kingdom. When he had spare time Saijin tried practicing his bending so that he could add that to his fighting style. However he had no real teacher so he didn't know how to do it well. Also in his training he focused much more on speed than strength his upper body lacked in strength however his legs were very useful for both speed, and to send some powerful kicks. So he may have had a weak upper body, but his feet and weapons made up for that.
At the age of 10 was when the comment came along giving the Fire Benders great power, and Saijin couldn't help but be excited about it, after all what better time to wipe out the Earth Kindom than during the commet. However because of the stupid Avatar the Fire Lord was defeated allowing the prince, Zuko, to take the throne and become the new Fire Lord bringing a new era of 'peace'. Please like that was going to happen anytime soon. And although many people went along with this new wave of peace, Saijin couldn't stand the idea, and neigther could his mentor. At first Saijin though they were going to have to stop, but Jian gave him hope that they could continue what they did. This brought happiness to his life once more as he continued to train with him.
However his life turned for the worst when his twelfth birthday came. That morning the sick soldier had given him a short sword that he has had for a long time. He first and planed to give it to his younger brother, however his brother was taken by the Earth Kingdom in an ambush during the war, if his brother had died in battle he wouldn't have hated the kingdom as much, but the was no older than Saijin when he was brudally killed for just being in their land. However now he had another he cared about and Jian wanted Saijin to use the sword to protect himself. That was when the soldier sense others around the area. ”Saijin,” he coughed once before continuing, ”Do me a favor and go and get some water for us alright?” he had asked of him the young preteen just nodding before heading off.
Once Saijin was out of site, and hearing he looked toward the forest with a cold look. ”Alright you can come out now!" he yelled to the people hiding within the trees. Four earth kingdom soldiers coming out glaring at the sick man.
”Who knew the retched Jian had a child,” one of the soldiers spat out with an arrogant voice, Jian had a reputation for hunting down Earth Kingdom citizens during and after the war and many knew of him, bt none kne of the boy that tagged along with him. The soldier probably would have been afraid if the man were in full health however in this state he was as helpless as a child. Although anger did go on his face when he noticed the fire nation soldier smirk.
”An apprentice,” Jian had corrected the soldier, ”And if you knew anything you would know that he is from this nation.”
”Thats a lie no-” Another soldier yelled in disbelief however was quickly interrupted as the captain of the group raised his hand signaling for the soldier to be silent.
”Well then, first we'll kill you then we'll get the boy, we're in a time of peace muderers like you and that boy shouldn't be allowed to live” the soldier said with a cold voice. Jian narrowed his eyes when he heard his say that. The sick man getting to his feet drawing out his blade. If he was going to be killed then he was going to make sure he would as least take the captain with him. The soldiers went at it for about a good 15 minutes until Jian's body begin to wear. They were about to make the finishing blow however Jian stabbed the captain in the heart, thus killing him right before his body gave out and collapsed on the ground.
And the moment his body hit the ground the other earth bender soldiers impaled him by stomping on the earth and bringing up spikes from the earth. “Got... him...” one soldier said tired, out of breath, and in pain. That was when the soldiers heard something drop. They all turned to see the young boy standing there with a look of horror on his face, a bottle of water on the ground spilling out.
”It's the boy,” another of the soldiers whispered all of them shifting toward him. ”Alright boy you can either come with up quietly you can end up like Jian here,” he told him in a cold, stern voice. Shijin may have been a child however he was a criminal as well. Also they all rather not fight after having a difficult encounter with Jian.
”Hes gone...” Saijin said randomly
”What?”
”He's dead...”
The soldiers looked at the boy with a confused look. All of them on guard as he came forward and passed them as if they didn't even exist. “He's gone...” he continued to mumble some more along with other things however there was little to no audio escaped his mouth. Tears were coming down his eyes as he sat besides the body of his sensei. The solders just staring at him, not really knowing what to do. Their captain was now dead, and they've never had to deal with a child before. That was one came close to the boy kneeling behind the boy.
”Look kid it had to be done, he is an assassin that-” the soldier said however was quickly interrupted when he felt a throbbing pain in his chest, a short sword going through his right lung. Blood spit out of the soldier's mouth as he tried gasping for air his bodying going limp. The young boy removed his new blade from the earth bender's chest as he stood up.
”So what!? It's not like any of you deserve to live! You think the Fire Nation was bad during the war well the Earth Kingdom isn't any better!” he said coldly as he looked at the three of them with cold, devilish eyes that screamed death. The very same look Jain had gave them before he went down. Only difference was that there were tears in Saijin's eyes. The two soldiers fought with the young boy the battle only lasting for about five minutes before Shijin was able to finish off the two soldiers. However, even after killing them his hate wasn't satisfied. Once again the Earth Kingdom had taken someone important from him. And they were never going to be coming back. So that day he made an oath to help take down this nation. Not by joining the fire nation though, for he wanted to do things his way.
For the next 3 years he continued destroying villages some he was successful, other times he had failed to kill everyone. In this time he earned the nickname 'Earth Slayer,' and had become a waned criminal in the Earth Kingdom and gained a 50 gold coins reward for his capture alive. The world might have been at peace but he was going to do his best to destory this nation no matter what it took. [/blockquote]
