He looks to be anywhere between 19 and 39. He won't say......or doesn't know.
⌈Appearance⌋
Genji is a lithe man with odd proportions. He is very lanky and his body built thin, yet sturdy. He has peach colored skin and stands at about 5'7" weighing at about 167lbs. in total. Both of his ears are riddled with several different kinds of piercings and earrings of different makes and sizes. His entire body seems to be covered in black bandages. A face mask made from a soft black material adorns his face, covering most of it. When he does show his face, you can see many scars crisscrossing his face......along with patches of black scales. His burgundy hair is in an elongated spiky style which is styled towards the front of his body. He wears a white shihakusho outlined in black along with grey and black tattered hakama kept up by a sash. He wears black tabi socks and wooden sandal boots on his feet. His most striking physical feature are his scarlet red slitted eyes. On occasion, his sclera turn pure black. Genji is also displaying six blades on his person. Underneath his bandages and clothes, you would find mostly scars cut trhough black scales covering his body. His teeth are sharp and he has a large forked tongue.

⌈Personality⌋
To say that Genji is laid back is both an understatement and an incorrect statement. Genji can usually be found in a position of lax, slouching, sitting down or laying down. His eyes always have a tired look about them. At first glance of Genji as a person, you might assume that he is a selfish asshole that doesn't care about anyone or anything. Now, while you may not be that far off, there is a whole lot more to him than that.
It's hard to pin down what he's really like, seeing as he seems to change himself and avoid any lengthy conversations. He seems to be able to talk to people just fine, but seems to prefer to keep to himself. One thing that always seems apparent is his bombarding wit. Genji always has something sarcastic or insulting to say to someone. Whether he really means what he says is always left up to the person, for Genji rarely goes into further detail. He seems to have very little remorse, in conversation, on the battlefield and off of it. He says what he wants to say and doesn't care whose feelings he hurts. He kills easy and death doesn't really seem to faze him at all. He doesn't go out of his way to save people, but if someone needs saving and it happens to be near his objective or target, well it's their lucky day.
When speaking with an enemy, he seems to play the remorseless blood lusting psycho. He doesn't care about hostages and using people as leverage against him is useless. He smokes from an elongated pipe profusely and it seems to be his main crutch. Sometimes, when you look into his eyes, you see nothing. Just the eyes of a man who died long ago, whose body just keeps moving because it doesn't know what else to do. He's also just too goddamn stubborn to change his ways now. The man is stubborn and biased when it comes to his own belief systems, he prefers to think that his opinions and his assumptions are resolute simply because he’s had to rely on only himself for so very long. It’s not an issue of elitism; he just knows his ideas and evaluations to be true in 90% of the situations that he’s faced. It doesn’t mean he’ll immediately cast aside an offering of ideas or leads but he’s one to always want and have the final say in expressing and acting upon them.
All in all, Genji is just trying to get by in life using the talents he was born with and the skill he was taught. He craves purpose and perhaps a cause that he could actually pledge himself too that he could actually respect. Or maybe someone to put the spark back in his eyes.
⌈Relationships⌋
The Swordmaker: The man practically raised Genji and taught him most of the things he knows. He wasn’t perfect, and Genji would never admit it, but he was grateful to the old bastard.
Rujin: Rujin is more or less Genji’s rival and enemy. They’ve known each other since they were young and Genji really hopes one day to kill him……out of respect, of course.
Father: He doesn’t give a shit who his father is and what he wants with him. He genuinely does not care.
Mother: “Stupid bitch. Had to go and leave with some fat stinking drunk so she could……fuck if I know. Fuck her.”

⌈Strengths⌋
Unorthodox Swordsmen- Genji was not trained in anything that would resemble traditional swordsmanship of any school anywhere in japan. He fights with six different blades that he can effortlessly shift and change through one after another. He even sometimes balances one blade on another and sort of juggles them. He even sometimes throws his sword. No matter how old or experienced you are, you have never fought anyone like Genji.
Inhuman Strength- Genji's strength seems to be just around beyond the human capability for it. It probably the reason he can effortlessly toss around so many swords.
Inhuman Speed- On the battlefield, Genji can slink and snake his way through an entire fight with ease. He moves through a battlefield like a serpent through water.
⌈Weaknesses⌋
Wrong Mind- Genji isn't exactly in his right mind, not that he ever really has been. He will rarely make rational decisions and will almost always rush into any fight without any sort of information or plan.
Drug Addled- Genji is highly reliant on his opium supply for reasons he doesn't go into. Due to this, he often forgets things and he can sometimes just be in a daze. They can last for moments or hours, its random.
The Power There is some kind of power deep inside of him that is constantly trying to bust its way out of him. HE is constantly in pain and its the reason he takes drugs and is a bit off. Its always threatening to get out and that essentially makes him a time bomb.
⌈Home⌋
The Battlefield. It's the only place Genji feels at home or comfortable.
⌈History⌋
Genji's birth was not planned. In fact, it was what his father feared more than anything else. His father was a Youkai. His mother, human. Making Genji the worlds most horrible abomination,a Hanyou. His father was of the House of the Sea,a Hebi specifically. His name was Unagiyata and he was the second son of the Head of the House of The Sea. He had fallen in love with the widow of a fisherman turned soldier. His mothers name was Aijin Mizu. She knew what her lover was and didn't care, she was so lonely. After several trysts, Genji was born. A bastard Hanyou. They did their best to hide him. His father crafted an incredibly intricate seal over his body with the use of black kelp bandages to seal the Hanyou energy within him, so other Youkai cannot sense him. After he was of a certain age, his mother realized he couldn't hide him forever, so she took him to a man who was said to not care about anything. She left Genji with this man at the age of around 5.
The man was known as the Swordmaker. He was one of the best bladesmiths in Japan, but he refused to mass produce his blades, so most people don't use his services during the war. He believed that the sword will take as long as it takes. He knew Genji's circumstances and didn't care, and started to train him as an apprentice. By this time, he was used to feeling the hatred and scared stares of all of the people who had ever glimpsed him. Maybe that's why he turned out the way he did. He started to put off an attitude that would make you dislike him from the get go, before you found out what he was.
He had a friend growing up....sort of. It was the other apprentice of The Swordmaker. His name was Rujin and he had bright white hair and eyes like him. They were the same age, at least that's what Genji was told, he has no real perception of time. They trained together and fought together and laughed to together and ate together. They became very close. When they reached a certain age, both of them had a very different outlook on life. Where Rujin wanted to end the fighting and make sure he had a high station in Japan when that happened, Genji couldn't care less about an of it. They both made a deal. "Neither of us are allowed to die, unless the other one kills them." Genji plans to honor that deal, no matter what.
They both left their masters house in opposite directions and have never seen each other since. Genji became a sword for hire, and soon enough gained a reputation. Due to his unorthodox style and utter lack of mercy on the battlefield. Due to his obsession with swords, he began to challenge Samurai's to duels and taking their swords after killing them. He became known as The Soul Collector due to the Sword is the Soul of the Samurai. Later in his life, he got the attention of many people in the wars just to the sheer amount of battles he had been in, as his contract usually just lasted one battle. He had fought and killed many people. Oddly, what people noted the most about him was his constant use of his pipe. Due to his lax attitude and ferociousness on the field of battle, the name he was known far and wide as was The Sleeping Dragon. Most people just know him by that name, not knowing his true name.
He became a very sought after Ronin, and many Daimiyo's came to him offering lands and reatainership with them. He always refused. He would rather die than be tied to any one army or man. Why, when there are hundreds of battles going on all over the country, he wouldn't miss them for anything.
