My dueler for 's SDL

Kazuma Kawazoe

Age: 26
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 10''
Weight: 180 lbs
Likes: his reputation, using his skills and not wasting them
Dislikes: Being looked down upon, killing without reason, trash talk, back-stabbers
Skills and Traits: Kendo Master, sharp reflexes and quick on his feet, but not too strong.

Fighting Style: Two handed sword use. Likes counter over striking first, such as evade then strike or block then push back for a chance to strike. Speed over power.

Depending on the situation or opponent's weapon, he may use his ranged hooked chain. Swings it from side to side or above his head and releases it horizontally for a vast amount of range. Also used to grab things.

Personality: Mature and honourable. Lacking in social skills, as in he can't predict peoples reactions properly so he seems cold at times. He's a thinker. Doesn't speak unless he feels it nessisary. Try's to plan everything ahead of time.

Background: Has been trained since childhood to weld a sword. Was once a proud Samurai to his Lord Joshi, until Joshi's assassination, with the killer ([link]) managing to barely break away losing his eye in the process. Now he's forced to walk as a freelance samurai to make a living after reuniting with his childhood friend, Megumi Satsuyo ([link]). Keeps a rag from his dead Master in rememberance of his teachings and wrote the letters to "pain" to let his enemies know that he cannot be scarred any more then he is already (mentally). From previous jobs taken, he has met and befriended Lisa Flashcat. [link] He's also keeping a close eye out for his previous Lord's killer.

awards:

"Most wins by forfeit"

anyone saying he mysteriously looks like Schemdrick is a liar... Schemdrick's my character anyway! It doesn't matter!

note me! I'll accept practically any duel! Also, fight Kazuma and Megumi ([link]) teamed up if you want to make things interessting! I'm a very fast artist! I can do it in one day if you so wish!

***edit (March 18,2008) I will no longer be accepting duels unless they are a higher rank then "Rank C". This may seem picky, but trust me... you have no idea how many people challenge me out of nowhere with a brand new guy just to get an easy high rank... Sorry if it's inconveinient to you, but it saves me loads of trouble and less embarassment to inexperienced comic makers... XD I will make few acceptions...
