Name: Ginko Mutorashi
RolePlayed By: -Ŧαƙυɱι Қiвυƙαɯα
Age: 43
Species: Human
Faction: Nightstalkers
Elements: Earth, Water, Wind
Appearance:
Ginko has white hair and an unearthly green eye (his left eye is covered constantly by his bangs after the attack in his early life), and has been like this ever since he was a child after he was affected by a mushi.
He also wears more modern clothes compared to other characters, by wearing slacks, a button up shirt, and occasionally a trench coat.
History: When Ginko was 11 years old, he was found by a woman. This woman he refuses to talk about under any circumstances, thus making Ginko's early life much a mystery. This woman classified herself as an Alchemist Master who had the same white hair and green right eye as Ginko did. Before the accident involving Ginko's right eye, Ginko was a very outgoing, upbeat boy, and even as a child he could see the world as a means of a quest, to restore order and life to the wasted lands of the world..
While walking through the mountains with the odd woman who found him, that he now at this point considered his mother, a wrong turn was taken, and on the strange road they continued down, Ginko and his mother were jumped from many different angles by raiders and bandits, whom killed his mother, and nearly killed him. It was at this point in his life, that Ginko discovered he held the powers of the elements to bind at his will as his mother did, and the first element he had control of was the element of Earth. Upon accidentally discovering his born powers, Ginko had taken control of the Earth under the raiders and bandits, and made the ground consume them in a slow and painful process.. And once they were all completely under the ground, they were then crushed from Ginko suddenly releasing his hold over the Earth, the mass of the earth around them closing in and collapsing on their bodies, crushing them to a pulp.
After these happenings, Ginko collapsed at his dead mother's side, his left eye bleeding from being stabbed out by one of the bandits before Ginko could summon forth his power, and thus his eye was shut tight in pain, while his right was the same case, but was shut tight from the pain of the uncontrollable tears that trailed his cheeks. He did not know what to cry more about, the pain of his eye, or the death of his mother...
For many days, Ginko traveled alone. After burying his mother and attempting to unskillfully bandage his eye, he wandered aimlessly. He had no idea where he was going, and at the age of 11, he hardly had a good sense of direction, or even knew what to do in a situation such as his own. After days of wandering, Ginko had finally exhausted himself. And after making a misstep, he found himself tumbling and rolling down a hill, crashing into bushes and branches until he found himself motionless and numb along an abandoned back road. He laid there for what must have felt to be hours, slowing losing consciousness, and before his eyes closed, he witnessed a very old looking man approaching, a long white robe draped over the man's shoulders and a white beard hanging down to nearly his ankles, an old, warped wooden cane in the man's hands as he made a slow approach toward Ginko's body. Once the old man approached him and attempted to ask a question, Ginko was already too far out of it to understand the man's words, let alone answer them, and before he knew it, Ginko had passed out.
At least three weeks later, Ginko had awoken from his seemingly eternal slumber upon an unknown bed to him. Though he was bandaged and connected to some medical machines, he was not in a hospital. He found himself looking around in a fairly fancy, and well-managed room of fair size. Ginko examined himself, brushing his hand across his left eye that was once bandaged, but was now covered by his bangs, his empty eye socket simply sitting behind his bangs. He looked around to use something to cover it, and found a simple eye patch resting on a nightstand to his side. Ginko grabbed it and put it on, and made his slow attempt to get out of the bed.
Once his feet touched the floor, the door to the room opened, and Ginko was now standing on top of the bed, ready to attack whoever walked through. The old man had stepped through the doorway, and closed the door behind him. He stared at Ginko for a time, before simply advancing into the room, pulling up a chair and sitting into it as he simply stared at Ginko. Not a word was said for several minutes, once again another time period that must have felt like hours. Finally, the silence was broken by Ginko as he asked where he was, and who the old man was. He was met with an answer to both questions; "You are in your new home, and I shall be your master, commander and in time, perhaps even your mentor... But until then, you will be training with the rest of the rookies.." -- The old man had spoken these words, and Ginko was puzzled yet angered by the unclear answers he was sadly expecting... He attempted to charge out of the room, but was met with the old man's cane at his feet, causing him to trip and plummet to the ground. Ginko slowly collected himself, as his injuries began to cause him pain again from the fall, and he slowly faced the old man, who was now standing, slowly walking toward Ginko, but only passed him and made his way toward the door. "Your training begins tomorrow. Try to get some rest in the meantime..."
After 26 years had passed, Ginko had mastered nearly all the elements. He would have mastered the element of fire by now, but something made him incapable of manipulating the element the way he did the others. As such, Ginko had all but one under his command, and he seemed fine with that fact... Ginko had changed from the outgoing boy he used to be. Ginko was now always calm, collected, silent... As if he was always deep into thought. This caused Ginko to have a rather odd aura about him, yet not a bad one, despite not being a good one either. Ginko was still a friendly man, toward anybody and everybody who deserved to be treated friendly and respectfully.
Ginko had taken command of his own squadron of elite fighters, of which he considered his new family. Ginko had wandered with his squad for many years, hardly ever returning to the Nightstalker's HQ, for unknown reasons. They all liked to wander and be together without other's, and only with this lot was Ginko ever even remotely talkative.
Sometime after a mission, Ginko and his squad had run across the one known as Takashi, who was cornered within the ruins of a city by soilders of the Malice Army, as well some brutes mixed in with the lot of barbarians. Ginko and his squad sat aside and watched for a time, witnessing the boy's capabilities. So not wanting to risk him dying, Ginko and his squad jumped in and helped kill off the lot, until they began to retreat. Ginko had taken the boy in as his student, and taught him a great many things. But one unpredictable night, they were ambushed and attacked by the Malice Army. The ambush was not lead by any captain, or even general of the Malice Army. The attack was lead by the Factions Chieftain himself..
Ginko took quick notice to the threat of the battle, and as such, sent Takashi away with the escort of two of Ginko's squadmates, while the rest stayed behind and fought for as long as they could. After several minutes of fighting them off as long as possible, Ginko was confronted by the Chieftain of the army, and clashed violently with him several times. Despite Ginko showing he could match, and possibly even defeat the Chieftain, the unexpected happened.. Ginko almost seemingly allowed himself to get jumped from the Chieftain from behind, and Ginko was sent flying into a building off toward the side, where he rammed through the wall and was never seen afterward.
Years after his apparent death, Ginko was reported seen on several occasions, but was never actually found. There was no body at the scene of his apparent death, but also nothing to prove he wasn't dead. So other than odd rumors on occasion of Ginko still being alive, he has to date been classified as KIA (Killed In Action), and has yet to officially confront anybody, or has been confronted by anyone that may know him. With one exception, that is...
Weapons: Ginko limits himself to the use of a single assault XM8 rifle, and then two AMT AutoMag III pistols, of which is backed by the enhancements he uses with his elemental mastery. Such as he uses his wind to help speed or direct the direction of the bullet. Water to help muffle the sound, and earth to help give himself a barrier to fire from in the state of range-on-range combat.
