Tam No Last Name (Complete Scamurai)

Name: Tam
Nickname:
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Height: 6'4
Weight: 180lbs
Appearance: His hair of a bright turquoise and eyes of vibrant red grant him an uniqueness that is... not really unique, all things considered. Standing at 6'4 and weighing in at 180lbs, he is a bit more muscular than your average build, but certainly not huge. He isn't exactly going to break his shirt mid flex. His skin is a yellowish tan. His hair is styled multiple ways, with a pony tail, two bangs over either ear, and a windmill in the front. Aside from the six front gravity-defying frongs, his hair is very flat, yet sharp. This continues to his eyebrows, which appear as if they want to stab you. Not he wants to stab you with them, but they want to stab you. A large tattoo spreads across the left side of his body, wrapping around his arm and reaching over his chest and shoulder. It is colored grey and has several sets of eyes and mouths within it. Or rather, depictions of eyes and mouths. They just exist to be seen, nothing special. Yet. The tattoo hides a lot of scar tissue from countless hours of training at a young age, his body has some visible scar tissue on the opposite side of his body, mostly stretch marks from building muscle on an undeveloped frame from a young age.

Personality:

Generally a loner Tam is rather tight lipped about his own abilities, always downplaying his skills in order to hide a lack of ninja training. He tries to get out of working with others and tends to pick up duties he can do alone, or going to train at odd hours and hiding his abilities in group work and relying on weapons. Behind the outward appearance of being nothing more than a lazy slacker, his mind is always whirring along making note of strengths and weaknesses in both allies and enemies. In order to keep his charade from coming apart quickly he keeps his sense of loyalty buried behind the lazy facade that has been his life for a long time.

His preoccupation on battle is not without downsides. Tam can get so tuned in to a battle, even something as simple as a training spar, that he loses sight of reality and knows exclusively the brawl. This has lead to the death of at least one individual, and the harm of many others. Tam recognizes this is a flaw, as a spar meant to train both individuals should not devolve into a battle to the death (without appropriate name calling and motherly insults, of course). Even so, he can't always help it.

Character History:

Born of common blood to a soldier and his young wife, the boy would grow up without parents. They left him abandoned to the harsh reality that is life in an orphanage of the state. The baby was lucky enough to see its first birthday. Fast forward a little ways to young childhood, Tam caught the eye of a family (Sergeant + Wife) unable to create life of their own they adopted the boy and immediately began teaching him the ways of a samurai in order to take on the legacy and enter military life as soon as possible. Aware that his standing in the family was directly influenced by his ability to fight, the boy developed into a dedicated military 'genius' gaining strength but taking training entirely too seriously. At the tender age of nine he qualified to be a low ranking retainer, allowed to only carry a short sword but not a full sized weapon he trained harder everyday trying to keep his place in his new family. It was all going well enough until one day while training with another youth Tam lost sight of the fact it was just training and cut down his opponent in a ruthless sword-style. Appalled his parents quickly covered up the details of his crime, his only father taking the blame while the boy was exiled from the lands of the samurai. The Daimyo thought the boys training hadn't advanced as far as it had into swordsmanship, so he was exiled without any further thought.

Left alone in a harsh world with no country to call his home the boy wandered off into the wilderness, not knowing which direction to follow he wandered aimlessly supporting himself by gathering (Hunting+Fishing Mostly) for his own food and using his slowly developing cooking skills in order to make meager meals while he walked. The boy stumbled into a desert and got lost in the dunes for years living off of Cacti and insects for sustenance. The boy subsisted this way for years, finding home and solace with an older gentleman who knew something of samurai tactics the boy learned even more brutal sword techniques focusing on strength and cutting cleanly through opponents without apparent effort, his new teacher had been thought dead to the world, with his new sword style Tam was able to live happily (enough) up until his teacher died when he was sixteen, it was his final test (training session) with the old man when Tam cut down his mentor to 'attain' the highest tier of recognition in a forgotten school. He had previously found a city in the desert, and deciding that he was tired of solitude he moved there, concealing his true power and passing the academy he was able to become a genin of Suna.
