Reiji Wu

Been sitting on this, needed to give em a bio.

Well. Anastasia in her journey's has stepped on a few people here n there. Reiji here, is one of them. He's not too big on her, and while he knows theres a chance he may never be as strong as her (which is so true its not even funny...) he hopes his hatred could do something. Because he feels he owes her that much.

And yes I have characters who aren't female.

---------------------------------

Name : Reiji Wu

Alias : Rei-Wu

Age : 32 years old.

Hair Color : Purple and Brown.

Eye Color : Brown.

Race : Yin Ryuujin

Nationality : Yushanian.

Skin Color : Light Toned.

Height : 6’ 4”

Weight : 303 lbs. (muscle and bone density)

Family ( and people he considers so ) : Rai (Father - Deceased) , Lee-Mei (Mother – Deceased).

Occupation : Wanderer.

Fighting Style : Brawling.

Build : Rather Muscular for a Male.

Personality : Reiji more or less is never in the mood for anyone's shit. While he enjoys the company of people who are a bit laid back, when things get serious, he expects people to shape the hell up. He takes more than just a while to open up, but when he does, he completely lets his guard down. A bit of a Type A, he's more so about leading than following, especially after the event with Anastasia. If anything, people who knew him then would say it was the event that clearly changed the former wandering party guy into the loner he is today.

Likes : Having a drink with the ladies, gambling, travel, visiting his friends back on his home planet of Yushan, training, pissing Anastasia off, big brawls, and art.

Dislikes : Losing a bet, Anastasia and her empire, being ignored in a fight, people who give his friends shit, running out of cigarettes, being reminded of how he got his scar, a woman with no self respect, a man who cannot stand for himself, and he hates above all... pentagons. (It is a very odd dislike, but he just hates the awkwardness of the shape.)

Danger Level : Reiji isn't the most powerful sort. He can hold his own in many situations, but his resiliency is primarily through his raw tenacity and his not going down attitude. He is considered a N/A Class .5 rank fighter due to taking brawling and making it into a beautiful artform, with N/A Class .25 rank for physical endurance and focus due the his force of will, and his unnatural tolerance for pain. His mental abilities are considered as SS rank for having a rather slightly above average IQ which translates into his fighting, since he is far more street smart than book smart, and his physical strength is considered an SSS rank in for having a decently above average physical strength compared to others of his specie. His spiritual energy is registered as SSSS rank due the fact he can manage a Level 2 transformation. Taking these into account, his overall danger rank is at XX.

----------------------------

In a small suburb district on the planet of Yushan, resided the considered working class Wu family. Long time residents of the Purri district, Rai Wu was known as a very just, and kind man. The owner of a winery, he had always ended up as something like the town psychiatrist, issues that many of his customers had with their lives, they would plop down next to him, and they would vent their issues to him, no matter how often or how absurd the stories came. He would always say, “If you can solve one issue without drinking, then you are on a proper path to enlightenment.” His wife, Lee-Mei, was actually, a former customer that he had, her repeated shopping there turned from a nearly week meeting, to something that happened every other day. And in some of those meetings, no drinks were bought, it was just simple conversation. The man realizing the connection he had with the woman, they would promptly become married, and within 2 years of attempts of having a child, after 2 miscarriages, they were blessed, with Reiji.

Reiji in his youth was a bit of a trouble maker. Normally getting involved in a lot of the local kids issues, he saw himself as someone who was helping people just like his dad did. Just his way of fixing was punching people. Which consistently got him in trouble with the headmaster, and the local law enforcement. While much of the townspeople viewed him as a delinquent, his parents knew he had only meant well, and in many situations did their best to promote his “free thinking.” Reiji had a lot of boys not so much so happy with his actions, the girls found his consistent need to prove himself somewhat cute, and in some situations, endearing. His mother as one of the town law enforcers, did find her son's repeated offenses with age becoming a bit more so embarrassing than cute. Which started to put them on if anything, strained terms as he went into his teens.

Reiji's teenage years brought him to the person he would consider a brother, and a life long friend. In his early teens, he had met a young man who was being swindled by a group of well known street hustlers. Brandishing his normal type of justice, along with the youth, they had downed the group, and the subsequent reinforcements the goons had. While Reiji didn’t understand why the youth would come out to this area of town, while he was so well dressed... he felt if anything he was obligated to watch over him. The youth introduced himself as Hotsuma Ameratsu, child to one of the lords in the area. While he thought little of it, the boy decided to take him into his home to introduce him to his family. Not used to the kindness from a non family member Hotsuma showed him, he swore if there was anything he could ever do for the youth, he would be there. The two more or less becoming “brothers” of a spiritual nature, they had pledged to be there no matter what. Hotsuma did not realize, that no matter what, would be coming sooner than expected.

When Reiji had returned home that night, he had found his home in flames, the bodies of his parents in front of the house. He had not realized the gang members he had beaten up, were flunkies of a local crime lord named Shmith, who held considerable power. The man sent his elite to if anything, “send a message.” While he was lucky enough not to be home... his parents had the misfortune to be so. The boy's anger and frustration boiled over like the a dam being demolished by a powerful current, and in a bright golden flash he had ascended...and disappeared. Swooping down upon Shmith's base of operations, Reiji had only a bloodsoaked trail of revenge in mind as he attacked the guards with ruthless efficiency. Long gone were the words of “Being a decent person to those who did wrong to you will let you live with yourself...” that the mother he wished to apologize to. All he could think was of revenge. While he managed to defeat a good many of the man's guards, when he finally reached Shmith and his elite guard...what was originally easy, failed miserably. His elite few were far more powerful than the scrubs he had been dealing with until that point...and it was a saving grace by Hibana's mother Ziyi that saved him. While Ziyi defeated the guard, she had taken the beaten nearly to death Reiji back to the Ameratsu compound, to help him recover. The boy lacking a home, and feeling guilt for his family over the next several weeks while he recovered, seemed to have fallen deeper and deeper into depression. Until Kojiro, Hotsuma's father had decided on a way to help the young man.

Knowing Hotsuma was to travel off planet, he had decided to have Reiji go along with him as a bodyguard, and member of his entourage. Not really having much option outside of that, Hotsuma had only insisted, feeling at fault for the situation. While Reiji didn't feel like his friend was responsible for his actions, he reluctantly agreed. Over the years, while Hotsuma tried to study and learn, Reiji kept close, if anything like a guardian angel, there to protect the friend who now seemed to continue their brotherly oath, taking care of his financial needs...like his extremely large debts. As they continued to travel, Reiji had begun to open up yet again, and by the time they had hit the age of 23, Reiji was if anything more back now than he was in their teens. If anything even more reckless due to his age, and with how much he could get away with.

It was during those travels that in passing, Hotsuma and Reiji had met a young queen by the name of Anastasia Vidal. The girl was very courteous, confident, something that both men respected and found attractive. While she was strong, she was also somewhat lady like, and carried herself very properly. As they traveled, she began to appear more often than not during their travels, so much so that Hotsuma had made the decision to try and make her his wife. While Reiji wasn't fully sold on her being the wife type, he gave them both his blessing, and stepped back expecting the best for the friend he cared for...and something for the girl he almost considered dating. For the time, they went their seperate ways, and Reiji returned to Yushan to if anything try to pick up from where he left off, and work on making something for himself.

Weeks before the wedding Hotsuma had sent Reiji a message, one that simply said, “I can't do this.” Reiji was if anything taken aback by what he read, for when he had last seen his friend, he was head over heels about the woman. Arriving with many members of Hotsuma's family he had met with his friend about 3 days before the wedding, when Hotsuma had mentioned why he was so afraid. The slaughter in the city on Ikria... all because she felt insulted by their demeanor to Hotsuma. Reiji unsure of how to feel about that, he knew his loyalty to his friend took priority over everything...and planned with some of his guards, and Hotsuma's sister Hibana to help him run the night before the wedding...from someone who most likely could not take no for an answer. Anastasia had caught wind of his escape that night and chose to get personally involved. Hotsuma was at the space port when she had caught up...and his team had tried to stop the seemingly invincible woman. Reiji rather confident in himself, charged her... and everything went white as he noticed his friend got to the ship to escape. All he could remember hearing, were her words, “Your Spirit...Needs Breaking....”

He would reawaken, nearly a year later, on Yushan, where the Ameratsu family had been helping him recover. Unbeknownst to him, he had been blasted in the midsection, the amount of energy she expended was more than enough to kill him, but by some act of god, through his force of will he survived. While he was glad his friend escaped...he was furious at this woman who thought so little of the lives of the people around her. While he had awaken, he still was unable to get up under his own power for another 4 months. When he finally managed to do so, he had seen the scar of her blast... and it motivated him. The frustration with his parents... the inability to avenge them. It just blended with the seething hatred he had for the one who left the mark on his body, to remind him of his helplessness in the situation. He began to rededicate himself to training while he traveled, looking for leads on Hotsuma, while keeping in contact with the other who had done so, Hotsuma's half sister Hibana. Upon hearing he had recently been put in hiding by an information broker by the name of Shoichi, he now plays the waiting game. Since he feels he owes Ana big time...
