Takahara Shuji

Age: 28

DOB: April 13, 1398

History: Shuji is the first born son of Takahara Masato and his wife Takahara Nozomi. Shuji spend much of his childhood, romping around with his close friend, Ryusaki Seiichi. Around this time he developed a love for the game of mahjong. When he was eight years old, Yuki was born, and he took on the task of protecting his little sister. It was assumed that around this time, his friendship with Seiichi ended. Nozomi was killed when Shuji was only fourteen. Frustrated with Yuki's lack of understanding towards the fact that their mother was dead, Shuji buried himself in learning military stragety, reading Sun Tsu's The Art of War, and learning how to play shogi. He soon became an excellent military stragetist and shogi player. At the age of twenty-six he joined his father and daimyo in a battle. In that battle he lost both his father and daimyo. Feeling responsible for his father's death, he began drinking, unable to commit seppuku (ritualistic suicide, common for samurai). A few months later, he and Yuki became ronin, refusing to obey Seiichi.

 

Personality: Shuji is laidback and appears an idiot. Despite his outwardly appearence, he is a clever stragetist which makes up for his lack of warrior talents. When push comes to shove, he is able to weild a sword fairly well. Shuji has a gambling habit, wasting money on mahjong or anything else of value (he once gambled away his clothes to a pretty girl). Seiichi often discribes Shuji as a gambling drunkard, pathetic warrior, yet a brilliant military stragetist. Shuji loves his sister dearly and will protect her whatever the cost.
