Bendan Koga-Ryu
Epithet: "Foolish"
Height: 160cm
Build: Average
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Occupation: Chore-Boy & Lookout
Text Colour: 00fff3
Bounty: 0
Theme: Sneak Up
Class: D
Allied With: Queen Pirates
Personality:
Bendan was a son of the head of the Shinobi village Rokkakku on Aityaia Island. HE ran away from home to join the Queen Pirates.
Generally, he acts emotionless and puts on a neutral voice and face at all times. He doesn't speak his mind a lot, stays silent unless it's absolutely necessary to say something. On top of that, he is quite shy and doesn't look people in the eye when talking to them. Back home, he was taught to listen and not to ask too many questions - something that he applies to his fellow crewmembers now. If he is told do something, he will try his best, no matter what.
The young ninja always gets straight to the point, doesn't like faffing about. This is true for conversations, as well as combat.
His sense of adventure is what drove the boy to join the pirates. He gets excited when a new land shows on the horizon, even though he will barely show signs. What little knowledge he has about the world outside his village mostly stems from Melosa's stories.
The kids' biggest weakness is his inability to sleep without pajamas on. Unless his body completely give in after days of getting no proper rest, Bendan absolutely has to stay awake if he forgets to pack it.
Appearance:
Bendan is a 14 year old fair-skinned boy and consequently short in height. His dark green hair grows down to his shoulders and over his face, which makes it difficult to look him in the eyes. These eyes are dark green, almost black. The rest of his face his quite average, his nose and moth are fairly small, his ears hidden under the scrub of hair.
As a villager of Rokkakku, he wears several different outfits for the jobs he is assigned.
When on the ship, he dons a skintight brown fullbody suit, just like everyone else back home. This was done to blend in with the village's walls that had the same colour.
When out in a forest, the shinobi boy uses an attire that is meant to blend in: A baggy, green camouflage jacket, trousers, boots and gloves. The jacket's collar goes up to his nose, covering the lower half of his face.
When going to sleep, Bendan usually wears his mudgreen pajamas.
Traits
- Inhuman Swiftness
- Anjìng (Silence): Bendan is capable of moving very fast while making just the tiniest noises. This is esspecially true in thickets, since he is used to dense jungles.
- Wèizhuang (Camouflage): Bendan is skilled enough to pick the correct outfit for every environment so that he can become effectively invisible in a given surrounding, if he has prepared for it.
Fighting Style
Bendash
Focus: Run ups, Hand-to-Hand-Combat, Knifetricks
Aspects: Blur-Level Speed
Rank: D
Description: While Bendan wasn't exactly the smartest or most observant guy in his village, he sure is one of the fastest. His movements are so quick and quiet that he is able to move at speed that makes him look more like a blurry streak instead of a human running to most that see it. While it is not as fast as techniques like Soru by any means and people should be able to follow him with their eyes, his attacks are very hard to dodge and his sprint is impossible for the average human to catch up to. The boy uses this to his advantage to mercilessly attack the enemy's weakpoint like throat or neck to get a deciding hit in as soon as possible. If not possible at first, he fights by avoiding the opponent's attacks, staying out of his range and dashing back in as soon as an opportunity to attack provides itself. Should he be completely overwhelmed however, his trump card involves using his ludicrous speed to run up to a target for at least a hundred meters, gathering enough potential energy to fire a blunt air projectile from his fist at point blank.
Weapons & Items
Feng Zhe (Bee Sting, Rank 1): A stealth weapon designed by the Shinobi of Aityaia Island. It is a mudgreen leather wristband that conatins a complex contraption including a 10cm long blade that is split vertically in the middle as well as a complex cogwheel mechanism. If Bendan moves his hand in a way that all his fingers point upwards, the back of his hand applies a little pressure to a button on top of his forearm. When pushed, the button activates the mechanism inside and the parts of the blades that are normally folded back snap together like a scissor, forming a pointy blade below Bendan's right hand. All it takes to revert this is removing the pressure on the button, in other words putting his hand down again.
Knife (Rank 0): While he barely uses the Feng Zhe once discovered, he uses a small average knife in close combat situations.
Techniques
Juéwàng de dà huángfēng (Desperate Bumblebee, Rank 2): Bendan runs up to a target for at least a hundred meters. Right in front of them, he throws a punch, resulting in a blunt air projectile the size of his fist being fired at the enemy's face at point blank.
History
- Born 15 years ago in Rokkakku, Aityaia Island, the legendary Shinobi village. Second son to mayor Shizang Koga-Ryu and his wife Taitai Koga-Ryu.
- Taitai left on an Assassination Mission when Bendan was 1 years old, he doesn't even remember what she looked like and was never interested either.
- Bendan was raised instead by the people of the village, first and foremost his 9 years older brother Nao Koga-Ryu, who subconcioussly linked Bendan's birth to the disappearance of his mother. Seeing how he was a lot more talented and smarter than Bendan, he looked down on his younger brother and mocked him from day one, calling him an idiot and putting him in a bad light wherever he could. This went so far that even their father Shizang now fully believes Bendan to be an incapable dimwit.
- Bendan grew up learning that the only thing that mattered in life were the orders he was given and the protection of the village. Doubt about this fact always existed and grew bigger the older he got but he never dared to show it.
- When Bendan was 15 years old, the pirate captain Queen B. Melosa got lost in the Aityaia jungle. Bendan, who was on guard duty that day, brought her into the village.
