Ichiro Nakamura

"I have been looking forward to this moment. The moment a worthy opponent arrives to meet my blade." -Ichiro Nakamura.

Ichiro Nakamura is an Elvish Monk, and member of the Jidai. He, along with his brother, Shinichi, are Soul Wielders who serve Taliesin Garman in his quest to gain the power of The Eclipse, the Soul Weapon of Norassu, the Tragedy of the Sahari.

Biography
Ichiro and his younger brother Shinichi were both raised in Sundown, in a temple in the mountains. The former was trained in The Way of the Blade, while his brother chose The Way of the Shadow. However, tragedy struck, and the temple was attacked and burned to the ground, leaving them unable to finish their training. And so, at the age of seventeen, Ichiro set off, with his brother in tow, across the land of Sundown as mercenaries. It was during this time that they encountered Taliesin Garman, and joined in his employ, being made into one of his Soul Wielders.

Personality
Ichiro is a straight-forward, honest man. He disagrees with many of the dishonourable things Garman has done, but, in a bid for his own honour, is loyal to him regardless. He prefers to deal with situations in the simplest way possible, and believes that the truest form of communication is in combat. He is somewhat prideful of his abilities, though is eager to meet an opponent who can best him.

Abilities
Ichiro is consider by the rules of Dungeons and Dragons, 5th Edition, as a 5th level High-Elf Monk, as well as 1st Level Barbarian. His Monastic Tradition is Way of the Open Hand. In addition to this, he wields a Soul Weapon, the Shadow Blade, and is able to use all of its abilities.

Appearance
Ichiro is a tall, broad-shouldered elf with long, dark hair worn in a top-knot. He has a stern face, more rugged than most elves. He wears the garments of a Jidai swordsman, grey and decorated with Jidai writing, and wears his Shadow Blade at his lower back.
