Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character Name: Luke Matsumoto

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Birthplace: Tokyo, Neo Japan

Statues: Good

Side: Alone

Element:
-Steel
-Determination

Description: The Samurai stands roughly at 5 feet 10 inches, and sports a full head of dirty blond hair. His eyes are a light brown, almost an orange. He isn't built like a strong warrior, but because of this his quickness is increased. His attire consists of an armored chest plate, arm bindings, and traditional Japanese samurai pants. His swords are strapped onto his pants by the likes of a rather large rope tied around his waist.

Personality: Luke takes on the front of a powerful warrior, but on the inside he lacks proper mental training. He has the determination of a strong warrior, but lacks self confidence when in times of need. If he struck with a situation that he sees impossible then he will lose hope of the situation. When faced with an important battle then Luke's strength will enhance because of his determination. He seeks the defeat of Aku, and once the rumors spread that the legendary Samurai Jack was in need of help, Luke jumped at the moment. He knows well enough that he will need all the strength he can get to oppose Aku and his robot army.

Skills:
-Speed and Agility: When training Luke usually focuses mainly on speed, since he believes that is what makes a strong warrior. Ever since he was a boy he trained his speed by running with heavy weights on his arms and legs. Because of his quickness, Luke's fighting style consist of quick slashes.
-Master of archery: Even though Luke uses a traditional katana and wakizashi, he is a master with the bow and arrow. There is a reason why Luke doesn't use an arrow, but he prefers not to talk about it. He has abandoned the use of the bow for years now, but that doesn't mean he hasn't gotten any less worse. Since he is a master of archery he can also dodge arrows fairly easily.

Weapon(s):
-Katana: A traditional katana that once belonged to his great grandfather. Once Luke abandoned the way of the bow and arrow, he adopted the use of a sword. He isn't a master at the sword, but he is in the process of learning the ways of the katana. Luke sticks with quick, short slashes while in battle opposed to the traditional powerful cuts.
-Wakizashi: Luke carries around another sword mainly for the purpose for cutting other things that aren't related to battle. The sword is shorter than the katana, but that doesn't mean he can't use it in battle. If Luke resorts to using both swords then he will use the wakizashi for guarding, and the katana for battle.

Bio: Luke was born and raised in Neo Tokyo, and lived a rather good childhood considering Aku had already taken over by the time he was born. His father was a strong warrior, but never took part in opposing Aku, for he knew that would only mean his defeat. Luke's father was a master of archery, and began to train his son in the ways of the bow and arrow. Before he knew it, Luke grew up to surpass his father in archery, and it was because of this that he was challenged by man outsiders. The contests primarily consisted of hitting several targets, and Luke won everytime. One day while training, he came across rather large man wishing to challenge him in an archery contest, but under his own rules. Over confident in his ability, Luke accepted. The rules were simply: The man was to hunt down Luke's family, and Luke's job was to kill the man before he had a chance to kill the Matsumoto family. Upon hearing this, Luke declined, but the contest did not end by his word, and the large man began his hunt.

The hunt lasted all night, and Luke had several chances to kill the man, but did not take them- Luke wasn't the type to kill another human being. Before the night ended the Matsumoto family was killed, and Luke lost the contest. This drove Luke insane, and he killed the man that had challenged him. With the cost of his self confidence, this was the last time Luke would hold a bow and arrow, and adopted the way of the sword. He left Neo Tokyo to become a wandering samurai. He heard stories of the legendary Samurai Jack, and he traveled the world to look for the man so that he could aid him in battle. He doesn't know exactly why he went searching for Jack, but he feels that if he finds him then he will regain something he lost- just as the stories had been told.

Recently he was confronted by the goddess Athena, who told him the story of Samurai Jack, and how he was sealed within the mystical sword. Though Athena appeared in his dreams, Luke set off in search for a suitable amount of elite warriors that are willing to help him oppose Aku, and free Jack from captivity.

Gender: {Female?}

Race: {Embodied Spirit}

Birthplace: {Mystical Well}

Side: {Companion to Luke Matsumoto}

Element: {Water, Peace}

Description: {Shifts from a solid human form to a watery one, depending on her feelings}

Personality: {Curious, innocent, impassive}

Skills: {Under a full moon, she has the ability to grant anyone one wish, any wish, only afterwards, her wish-granting abilities cease for one year. When in her water form, she can manipulate water.}

Weapon(s): {None}

Bio:
King Ozerick first made the wishing well by paying a very dear price for it; once the well was dug and filled with the purest water on Earth, he flung in a human soul, which molded into the spirit of the well, given wishing powers for her sacrifice, and became the sole treasure of King Ozerick. However, the well was dug too deep…and dark magic from the center of the earth made the waters dark and poisoned. King Ozerick learned this horrible truth when his son, a great swordsman, wished for the power to be the greatest of swordsmen. But the well consumed him, turning him into a slave of the well. Eventually his spirit became one of the monsters that joined Chiyoshi at the bottom. Four more would come, one defeating the enslaved prince, and three brothers who would become the Blind Archers. These five spirits, dark copies of their origins, tormented Chiyoshi where she laid, the most suffering of all the slaves to the dark well

For over a hundred years she dwelled at the bottom of the Mystic Well. She lived impassive, bound to the well as a slave to the wishes of others, as well as to the dark magic that claimed the lives of all who wished upon it. One day, Samurai Jack made a wish for the well‘s destruction, freeing Chiyoshi. However the wish also unleashed the five beasts of the well, who escaped vowing vengeance on the samurai who freed Chiyoshi. One beast was slaughtered by Luke and Kego. Now Chiyoshi is coming out to return the favor to the samurai who saved her…even if his wish means destroying Chiyoshi’s very existence…

She also worships the god Jin, patron god of genies and shamans. She claims that it was he who blessed her from her humble beginnings as a mere well, to become a wishing well before she was infected by the dark magic.

She also has a desire to destroy her “brothers”, the other four monsters released into the world, as she feels that they too may have adopted her ability to grant wishes, even if the terms of the wishes are very specific.

One of her habits is that every time she asks or speaks about Jack, she calls him “Master Jack” out of admiration and respect. Whether or not her feelings for him go beyond merely a level of gratitude, is yet to be discovered. However, she is currently unaware of the enemies and allies Jack had gathered over the years, or to the very fact of Aku's existence when she departs from the well.

She shows extreme discomfort in the recent arrival of Entori, who shows a highly confusing, highly uncomfortable infatuation with Chiyoshi.

Character Name: {Baroq (Bare-o) Jenkins}

Age: {19}

Gender: {Female}

Race: {Human}

Birthplace: {Neo Tokyo}

Statues: {Bad}

Side: {Aid of Aku}

Element: {Intelligence, Philosophy, Sloth}

Description: {Due to her soul being separate from her body, Baroq often suffers occasionally bouts of narcolepsy and lack of registering with her emotions, making her lazy and expressionless. Her body is incapable of dying as her soul is separated from it, but she still needs time to recover from her wounds.}

Weapon(s): {A pair of handguns for basic protection. It‘s a tough world after all}

Bio: {Baroq had to potential to be absolutely ordinary, but when her family discovered her amazing brainpower they encouraged her to follow all the best pursuits. However, thinking in the philosophical way she usually does, she disagreed with learning things that can be obtained in such an easy way, just because she has greater brainpower. She chose to pursue the most impossible thing she could, and see if her brain was up to the challenge; immortality. Her idea was that if she was capable of living forever, she may find something even more challenging to pursue. This eventually had her fall into ranks with Aku, and despite her dislike for boring things, she gritted her teeth and worked her way up to become his advisor. She struck a deal with him for the position; he needed her superior brain to overcome his obstacles, and she wanted a way to live forever. So using a powerful spell, Aku separated her soul from her body, still making it usable through a special remote connection. He holds onto her soul just to make sure she doesn‘t try to leave him. However, Baroq was upset to learn that of all the jobs to take, this one was the most demanding and boring ever. She now usually spends her time doing little things, like making his coffee and cleaning up a little on the side, effectively becoming what some of the snarky underlings would call “the pack mule“. She‘s one of the few people capable of being a smart aleck to Aku‘s face.}
