Name: Yoshimitsu
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Appearance: Yoshimitsu wears a mask that resembles a skull with glowing green eyes, silver horns then come up with three on each side. A red spine then runs from his forehead right down this neck and back to a tail, at the end of this mechanical tail sits a large red metal plate with silver pieces of metal creating a scorpion like look. Two more of these robotic tails come from his shoulders; the one on his left shoulder has an opening for him to place his sword Yoshimitsu. Sat on his left hip is the sword Fumaken.
Yoshimitsu’s torso is covered in a purple undershirt with a silver metal rib cage built over the top. On his shoulders sit red shoulder pads which move off into points with gold rims; on the front of these sit blue orbs with a Japanese symbol in both, these too have a gold rim that then comes down in curved plates of gold from the outside. On his right arm he wears a red gauntlet with silver studs around the rim at either end and a plated red glove. His left arm is his bio-mechanical prosthetic arm which starts under his shoulder pad as a skull encased in a red armour, it then moves down to the purple material over his elbow. After his elbow his arm is a gold ring which is attached to a gold square on his wrist by a coil of metal and four metal beams; one on each side. This then leads to his purple glove with white mechanical fingers.
On his lower body Yoshimitsu wears purple trousers with red armour on his hips, this is very bulky samurai style plates and spike off towards his rear; these pads come down over his thighs. Two identical pads then sit over his groin, mirroring one another, shaped like the wings of a bug pointing down. On his back one large metal pad sits central in the shape of an upside down teardrop. Over the front pads sit two more curved plates of gold like on his shoulder pads, joined in the centre by a skull on his lower abdomen.
On his feet he wears sliver boots with silver rings running around the back of his calf holding a plate of silver on the front of his shin, on his feet the boots move into a silver spike at the end of the toes pointing up a little. Sat over the top of his foot are two red plates of metal with silver rims.
Yoshimitsu and Fumaken are very similar swords, both are polished blades in which you can see your own reflection, and both are held to the handle with a red shape that resembles a triangle with the centre missing. The only difference in the look of the blades is that Fumaken is shorter; just over half the size of Yoshimitsu.
Personality: Yoshimitsu enjoys the small things in life such as watching a good sumo wrestling match, surfing the internet, and video game arcades. Where ever possible Yoshimitsu will help the innocent, whether it is defending them from evil doers or giving them money to get by in life. He strongly dislikes villains and poor losers, Kunimitsu, Bryan Fury, and people who harm the innocent.
Yoshimitsu is a sometimes cocky person using expressions and phrases to demean and disgrace his opponents before battle, yet keeps to a strong code of honour. He will never attack an opponent from behind and is usually reluctant to draw blood unless it is absolutely necessary. He is a driven individual and will always strive to achieve his goals he sets himself; his current goal is to eliminate Bryan Fury.
Fighting Style: Yoshimitsu's fighting style incorporates a blend of Ninjutsu, and precision sword attacks known as "Advanced Manji Ninja Arts", this consists of a mixture special stances from putting his sword away to his Flea stance. He also has the ability to spit out a purple gas to blind the enemy.
Strengths: Yoshimitsu is a fast and agile fighter with speedy punches and kicks. With his teleportation, many fighting stances, and spinning attacks means that he can easily confuse his opponents by disappearing from view or by standing on his sword. His swords can cause some serious damage if they are to make a direct hit on the opponent.
Weaknesses: Although his attacks are quick, most of them aren’t powerful and won’t cause much of a knock back force. Some of Yoshimitsu’s special attacks can make him become dizzy and fall or hurt himself.
Special Skills: Sword (Yoshimitsu): Yoshimitsu's beloved katana was handed down through many generations in the Manji clan. It seems like a normal katana, but it has many unique features that accommodate the unique style of the Manji. Since it was forged with secret techniques passed down in the Manji clan, it cannot be replicated and is the last of its kind. It was tainted by the evil energy of Soul Edge and turned into a demonic weapon many years ago, and as such the sword had the ability to divert evil energy and destroy a monument in only one blow. But Yoshimitsu’s lack of feeding the blade has made it weaker meaning that it is more like a normal sword. (Can be blocked if opponent has arm guards or any other kind of armour.)
Sword (Fumaken): Yoshimitsu’s new sword is called Fumaken, and has the ability to control his old cursed blade "Yoshimitsu". It sits on his left hip and is sometimes used during a fight to extend combo’s or for quick sneak attacks that the opponent might not see coming. Fumaken is a short sword and as such has less reach. (Easy to move out of the way off if attack is seen coming.)
Teleportation: To teleport, Yoshimitsu drops to his meditating stance then spins around really fast dropping into the floor then reappearing somewhere new. (This has a limited range of movement and Yoshimitsu must be sat in his meditating state first.)
Flight: Yoshimitsu can spin his sword really fast using his bio-mechanical prosthetic arm, this enables him to “fly” (actually more of a glide and can only be used to move a few meters). With this ability he can move up out of reach for a little while or over the opponents head. (He can also use this ability as a shield if he spins the sword towards the opponent.)
History: Yoshimitsu is a name which is given to all the leaders of the Manji Clan. The blade wielded by Yoshimitsu is also called "Yoshimitsu" because it holds the spirits of all the former leaders.
Yoshimitsu initially entered the first tournament as a decoy, so that Kunimitsu and the other members of the Manji clan would be able to steal the tournament’s funds unobserved. But eventually, he heard of a powerful sumo wrestler, called Ganryu engaging in fraud and other corrupt activities, who had likewise entered the tournament. Despite not being a sumo himself, this base disrespect for the sumo code of honour infuriated Yoshimitsu, so he defeated Ganryu, stole his fortune and distributed it amongst the poor.
Sometime later, angered by Kunimitsu's insistence that the clan merge with the Mishima Zaibatsu, as well as her attempts to steal the clan’s sacred tachi, he expelled her from the clan and found that, strangely, she had gone to Kazuya Mishima for aid. Suspicious of what she might have been plotting, Yoshimitsu and the clan broke into the Mishima Headquarters, and Yoshimitsu’s arm was lost during the raid. While there, he came across Doctor Boskonovitch, who saw the injured Manji ninja and helped him escape, later replacing his lost arm with a bio-mechanical prosthetic.
After returning to the Manji with his new arm, he hears that Kunimitsu has entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, so he decides to enter as well, and foil whatever her plans are. After a heated battle in which Kunimitsu attempts to steal Yoshimitsu's cursed blade, Yoshimitsu defeats Kunimitsu, and drops out of the tournament. Later, after learning that Dr. Boskonovitch had been kidnapped and his location, Yoshimitsu rescues him from the Mishima Zaibatsu; repaying his debt.
Soon afterwards, Doctor Boskonovitch’s daughter died very unexpectedly; and to preserve her body, the doctor began experimenting with cryogenics. While bringing him stolen money to fund his studies, Yoshimitsu discovered that the doctor had contracted an unknown pathological organism, which had likely been a result of the doctor’s exposure to his own experiments. Doctor Boskonovitch told Yoshimitsu that if he were able to retrieve a sample of Ogre's blood, he may be able to discover a way to resurrect his daughter. And to get this sample, Yoshimitsu would have to enter the third tournament. The doctor also entered, as a back-up plan; although neither Yoshimitsu nor Boskonovitch won the tournament. Jin Kazama was the one to kill Ogre and after that, Yoshimitsu and Doctor Boskonovitch managed to retrieve blood samples from Ogre's remains.
Yoshimitsu continued as the leader of the Manji Ninja Clan, but they eventually fell on hard times, losing funding and members for various reasons. Worried about the future of his clan, he began to reconsider the union between them and the Mishima Zaibatsu. So when he heard of the fourth tournament, he immediately joined, hoping to defeat Heihachi Mishima and become leader of the union he desired.
Shortly thereafter, Yoshimitsu returned to Doctor Boskonovitch’s lab to find it completely destroyed, the doctor injured, and many of his clan members killed. Yoshimitsu was determined to get his revenge in the fifth tournament, and he was ready to confront the culprit, Bryan Fury.
Trying to avenge his fallen Manji comrades, while going after Bryan, Yoshimitsu realizes that his sword is weakening. Yoshimitsu had been able to suppress his sword's nature by feeding it the blood of the malicious and evil. If this is not done, in time it will make the user go insane and will unleash its destructive and evil power. Yoshimitsu realizes that his typical means of keeping the sword under control are no longer working and that the sword is becoming harder and harder to maintain its balance. Yoshimitsu resolves this by obtaining a new sword called the Fumaken which keeps his cursed blade's destructive and evil nature suppressed. Yoshimitsu enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 in hopes that he can find a solution that will sate his cursed blade.
RP Sample: The roaring sounds of a capital silenced, a once bustling and deafening city abandoned; the buildings that once towered over the streets now broken and crumbled, a small number of them still stood. The sun rose in the distance and hit the wreckage of a city, the light reflected from shards of glass that cover the ground. A figure darted through the ruined streets; sticking to the shadows, their boots rhythmically hit the floor at a rapid pace and cracked the glass beneath them. The figure stopped as it reached a large open space that was once a park, but the grass had withered and died and the trees either fallen or lifeless. The silence was then broken by the sound of a breaking window; the figure turned its head over its shoulder to face the smash. His piercing green eyes stared into the distance; it was clearly Yoshimitsu, the leader of the Manji clan of Ninja’s. His eyes scanned over the environment, looking for any small signs of movement.
Bullets then whizzed past Yoshimitsu’s head and crashed into the fractured trees, sending out splinters of wood. Yoshimitsu dived to the side and landed on his hands, then flipped his body over and twisted round landing on his feet again, but facing the opposite way. He then continued to flip backwards twice using his hands to spring back. Yoshimitsu then leaped up into the air and tucked his legs up to his stomach and flipped landing on his feet again. The bullet spray continued to follow him as he flipped across, tearing the tree bark apart. Yoshimitsu dropped to the floor and crossed his legs, spinning rapidly round he slipped into the floor and disappeared. Popping back up, he used the trees as cover from the shots. The bullets then ceased to fly at Yoshimitsu, peaking up he looked over to see Bryan Fury stood with Gatling Gun in hand.
Yoshimitsu leaped up and over the trees and drew his sword Yoshimitsu. Landing on the floor and knocking up dust he then ran towards Bryan. Bryan lifted up his large gun and it began to spin as it heated up to shoot, with his sword in front of him Yoshimitsu then began to rotate his arm; using his sword as a shield from the bullets. As he got a few feet away, Yoshimitsu jumped up and over Bryan, turning in the air and slamming his sword down towards Bryan’s head and back. Unfortunately he threw down his gun and rolled to the side.
“Tenmo kaikai so ni shite morasazu!”(Heavenly judgement befalls those who do wrong!)
Yoshimitsu yelled as he got back to his feet, he then held his sword in front of his face then swung it down fast making a whooshing sound as it tore through the air.
“Isshoku sokuhatsu!”(There's no escape!)
He continued then pointed his sword at Bryan, who had got back to his feet and dusted himself off...
