Long ago when the samurai was a child it lived happily. It's mother was sweet and father kind. It's brother was what one might call a knuckle head but was a good brother all the same. However it's parent became ill and abed a few weeks before the war. When the samurai was but 16. The samurai's brother was older by a couple years and went to fight in the war. Taking their fathers old armor and their family heirloom, a katana which usually rested above the fire place. The samurai's brother fought in the war for almost a year before falling in battle. Unfortunately their parents had died from the illness a few weeks before then. The samurai driven from it's home when bandit's attacked. Meeting a kind, yet stern man on the plains when searching for it's brother. The man it met was one that taught the still young samurai many things of swordsmanship and speed. With it's new skills and a wakasashi(sp") at it's side it searched for it's brother again. Finding him dead upon the field not to long after the battle. After giving a prayer for it's slain sibling it donned his armor, name, and their families sword. Leaving the wakasashi(sp") behind as it joined up with the army. Never removing the armor when around others and fighting with the skills it learned from it's fellow soldiers and the plains swordsmen. Though the soldiers had little to teach the samurai in the ways of combat as it learned quickly. The armor soon becoming stained red with the blood of it's enemies. It quickly rose among the ranks of it's fellow soldiers in the war that lasted many years. The samurai in it's early 20's when the war was ended, having been raised to the rank of samurai a couple years before at the age of 19. It then swore away the life of fighting for petty feudal lords after seeing the destruction such wars caused. Dedicating it's life to protecting innocents as it left. Finding itself captured and without it's armor or weapons one night after falling asleep. Finding it's life as a slave harder than expected. However it was rescued by the swordsmen from the plains and together they killed the slavers. Unfortunately the plainsman was wounded and died from blood loss after the battle. The samurai leaving the place after it to escape the painful memories. Finding itself in Rhy'Din somehow. The samurai still is in it's early 20's though it's exact age shall remain unknown.
