-Personality Traits-
Alignment: Strong True Neutral
StrengthTo Einz strength is valued most of all. Not exactly brute strength but strength in man-to-man combat. He values it most and appreciates it the most of all other things. He has a contempt for those who fight without it and more so those who fight from beyond certain ranges.
StubbornEinz is a bit headstrong, and generally seen as stubborn. He holds to his views hard and fast though with enough trying he can be moved on subjects. He is a bit set in his ways, they've worked for him thus far so what is the point of changing.
TruthEinz is very straight with the truth. Both when it comes to facts and when it comes his opinions. To put it simply he's blunt, he doesn't sugar coat his thoughts. He says what he says, what he means. If you hear it from him it is most likely the truth. It is quite rare indeed to catch him in a lie of any type.
CodeEinz does not exactly have a moral or ethical fiber, but he does have a code to live by. Live first, by any means necessary. Debts are a noose about the neck, pay them off or don't have them. Do not run from a fight. Defend your friends. Protect those who wish it. Always secure your payment. A promise is a promise forever, and don't make ones you can't keep.
PatientPerhaps at odd with the rest of his personality, Einz is actually quite a patient person. It comes from his own self-confidence, from his trust in his own ability. He can give people time if necessary and he does not mind waiting. He'll take his time to think, make a decision and then firmly stick to it.

AppearanceEinz has a strong look. His face is sharp and a bit triangular, the features upon it if a little unimpressive all things considered. He has a strong jawline, but other than that perhaps the thing that is most of note is that his eyes always seem a little droopy. Einz is almost always cleanshaven and preferring to keep his hair short never letting it get much farther than his ears.
In terms of body he is well muscled, but also neither lean nor particularly thick. His muscles clearly show, he is well toned and when visible it is clearly visible. That being said he hides it well. Preferring clothing on the baggier side. He has a preference for wearing sarouels for legs, baggy pants with elastic or drawstrings at the waist and bottoms of the legs. His tops are usually monk-like clothing, with deep sleeves within which he can hide his other arm. Of note when they are visible his arms are covered in scars.
Einz often walks with a bit of presence. Though not particularly impressive in terms of height or size he treads the ground firmly with the whole of his soul which makes his steps sturdier and stronger alongside generally good posture on his part.

Non-Combat Skills
CookingEinz is not a terrific cook but he can be serviceable if necessary. He does generally not do much with food, but he enjoys it enough to know vaguely what goes with what. So he puts together very simple meals often no more seasoned than with salt and pepper.
HandymanEinz has a bit of knowledge of how to do a lot of small tasks about a house or a boat. The only strange thing about this is rather than use tools Einz uses his bare hands instead. He hammers with his fist and wrenches with his palm.
Combat Skills
Karada wa Tekou - Human Trait #1Einz has trained his body to the point where his muscles which line the edges of his body are tough. Heavy duty even, alongside thick skin built up by scars and practice that allow him to take blows on his body and specifically his arms that might normally hurt and pain him with relative ease.(Inhuman Toughness Trait)
Inhuman Strength - Human Trait #2Einz training began with the training of his strength. To be the equal or greater of one with a weapon, he needed the strength to overcome them. He is strong enough to cut through a tree with his arm given a few good swings.-Fighting Styles-
Iaido Gouwan
E-Rank H-t-H FiSt0 X-Poinz (0 X-Poinz)
In many ways Einz's combat style resembles Iaido. He treats his arms like they were swords themselves. Sheathing them in the deep sleeves of his shirt he swings them out for powerful strikes. It reflects the unrelenting confidence he has in his own strength and his own body.
Einz uses deep solid stances and strong powerful movements in this style. One thing of note is that he rarely uses closed hand strikes, favoring open hands using the back edge of his hand as the slicing edge of his strike. His legs strongly root his balance keeping his body firmly placed upon the ground.

TechniquesJogen
Rank 1 TechniquePushing his arm further up the opposing sleeve he suddenly swings the arm down and out swiftly straightening the arm out for a backhand slice that ends above him. Hinging on the elbow swings most of the force is focused into the finger tips which provide the cutting edge of the swing.
Mangetsu
Rank 2 TechniqueEinz hardens his muscles about his body hardening them to be like metal. When he uses Mangetsu Einz is unable to move while this is the case. Einz would claim this is the focusing of qi into his body.(Tekkai-Equivalent)
{Character Relations}
-Family-Genobu Famiy - Family - Einz's adoptive family, Einz has a lot of appreciation for everything they've done for him. While he has left them behind he occasionally sends them money and sends letters back to them.-Friends-Takemikazuchi Jinsuke - Mentor - Einz's mentor and sensei for the style that Einz learned. Even more hard-headed than Einz, 'Take' as Einz effectionately calls him is Einz's role model in most everything. He's gone off the map so to speak so Einz has no idea where he is.
-Foes-None
{History}
Youth (0-12)Einz was born an orphan of war. He never knew his original parents, they were lost too early for him to remember. His first memory is actually of his adoptive family. They are a fairly poor farming family from his home island. There he has an adoptive sister and parents. His young life with them is full of good memories. Happy memories so to speak.
Though he'd originally been brought into the family, after some time Einz's growth was putting a strain of the family's finances. So Einz in the end made the decision that he'd leave home to join a temple-dojo nearby to reduce the burden he placed on them.
Temple-Dojo (13-20)Einz life at the temple was not much different from that which it was with his family. Save for the existance of more chores to do. His life was regimented, filled with chores, a small bit of cooking, but else he was given plenty of free time at least in his first few years there.
At age fifteen he was brought into the dojo as well. This is where he met his teacher Takemikazuchi Jinsuke, who at the time was the assistant to the elderly kenjutsu teacher. While tensions never flared while he was there, Einz grew close to the man he called Jin. Jin espoused a slightly different style of fighting, where he pulled other orphans and penniless youngsters to him who could not afford a real weapon. When the elderly teacher finally passed there was a schism in the dojo. A fight which came about for control of it and was lost by his mentor Jinsuke.
A New School (21-23)Defeated Jinsuke and his proteges left the dojo and decided instead to set out and form a new school. Moving as a group Jinsuke and his young pupils now most in their early twenties left the island in search of more prosperous grounds.
Under the guise of teachings, Jinsuke led himself and his pupils on bounty hunts for low bounty pirates. It was not long before some of the pupils caught on. But in the end no one questioned it, it was money that was split between the group. While most of it was put towards the school, some more of it was split among the students. Einz as one of them always made sure to send money home to his family. In this time Einz began to grow in strength, as one of the star pupils of Jinsuke Einz did not have the best technique of the group but he was strong. Physically powerful he was a major help in their operations.
Finally when enough many was raised, Jinsuke was able to create his dojo. Instead of upon an island he bought a ship that became home to the School of Iaido Gouwan.
To Set Out Alone (24-26)Of he was asked why he left Einz personally was not sure. He felt the call, is the reason he gave. While he was growing strong in the school, he was not finding his own path. He was not becoming more technically strong, and Einz put that weight on the aid he gained from being around the rest of the school. So one day Einz set out alone. To forge out on his own.
Remaining a bounty hunter Einz made a small name for himself as one of those strange folks who attacked wanted pirates. But he didn't have a weapon, no sword, no gun, nothing. A wandering combatant who used his arms like swords. And thus he has been for many years. Chasing small prey and as always sending money home to his family.
