(The no-dachi is a huge weapon, typically 5 to 7 feet long, slightly curved like an enormous katana. forged in the same manner as its smaller cousin, the no-dachi is capable of inflicting grievous wounds. It us intended as an anti-calvary weapon. The greatest no-dachi masters can cut through a horse and rider with a single stroke.)
Personality: Karasu is silent and only speaks when he has to. When he does speak its in a slow, raspy yet commanding manner, with a certain accentuated low-key moroseness to his tone, sometimes placing unusual stress on syllables, stressing the wrong parts of words, making unneeded pauses, and awkwardly changing the pitch of his voice, sometimes in the middle of a word. It is common for him to elongate "S" sounds.
History: Little is know about karasu's past. What is known is him is that he was adopted by a family of excellent smiths. Karasu's 'father', Reju Tzi, a ninja who retired to perfect his art taught the boy as if he was his own son. The mans son got jealous because of Karasu's talent. During the Chunin exams the two boys had to fight, Karasu won, even furthering the boys shame. Eventually. Shortly after the two brothers fought again, with steel, an iaijustsu duel. They stared each other down for 10 minutes and then came the strike. Once again Karasu one the fight, but not the war. After killing Reju's blood son he cast Karasu from his family. He disappeared and began working as a mercenary.
Karasu is an excellent swordsmen and works for the highest bidder.
