Background info (Sorry my imagination is abit....poor to say the least, this is my first ever attempt at role play like this. Here it goes anyway)

He came from a very poor background in small rural village that made barely enough to support its residents. At the age of 5 his small rural village was set upon by the Daimyo and his samurai, taxes were not being fully paid and the Daimyo was angry. His Samurai set upon every villager without remorse. During to confusion of the raid, Kurosaki was placed on a horse by his mother and father. As he rode off into the distance the last thing he heard was the screams of his parents.

Through out the next 12 years Kurosaki was picked up by a caring ronin, who raised him like his own and began to train him in the ways of bushido. During his training his mind began to develop and he started to believe that he could become a Samurai that served the innocent, and protect justice. At the age of 17 Kurosaki left the care of his sensei and began to travel in search of his past and the Daimyo that attacked his village.

At the age of 21 his search stopped when he found out that the Daimyo had be killed in a fierce battle with a nearby territory. He now wanders from village to village helping who ever he can and making many friends thoughout his travels.

(Sorry if its poor, best i could do, if there are ways for me to improve, or if there are any errors, please let me know)

...starting to think i shouldnt have bothered with that.... Sounds terrible now that ive read it through afew times, oh well, cant create a masterpiece first time round at 2 am.

Good for first try, keep at it.

Yes, dont worry! You are just like me, actully ;) But, as i have found out, it just takes practice.

I suggest you type up some short stories, or a biography of your character in notepad, and then once you have finished go over and add, and add, and add, untill you think you understand how adding to a simple sentence can have the greatest impact, eg:

"The black cat sat next to the fireplace" a few times over with pre-thought would end up something like:

"As the harmonious sun set, the black cat, with fur as smooth as the most luscious silk, sat down next to the raging fireplace, as if it were a general sitting among his morale-filled troops, ready for battle..."

Sorry about that, but its almost 11 here, hope you get what i mean. You might also want to try that with other simple sentences, make several deferent variations untill you have the one you like, then present it.

Good Luck!
