~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Background: The man known as Kaze, or wind, has no past to speak of. Well, at least not one he can remember. His earliest memories are of wandering through the streets of Thanatos, a large Tekno city. It was then, through an encounter with a local thug, that he discovered he could use the sword on his back quite well, and had considerable martial arts skills. This gave him a lead as to his past self, and he travelled throughout Terracon, seeking out dojos and questioning senseis who might've taught him. Unfortunately, he had no such luck. But one generous martial arts master, a man named Roshi, offered him a place to stay. With his options gone, he accepted. Roshi gave his new house guest and student a name, Kaze, because of his agility and fluency in combat. Despite being a pastless student of the martial arts, Kaze is actually quite the fun-loving guy. He enjoys playing jokes on his master, and hiding the poor old man's porn magazines. He also likes to fish, and make long journeys into the forest while running errands for his master. He's rather naive at times, and that annoys Roshi to no end. He's slowly learning that his past is of little importance, and appreciating the present and future are what he should concern himself with. As Roshi's only student, he rarely sees any combat, and that gives him plenty of spare time. That does give him plenty of time, though, and he often finds himself daydreaming. And though he wouldn't admit it to anyone, many of his daydreams are of who he once was...

Special History: Garrod Hironobu was as ruthless an assassin as they come. He had been trained in the killing arts since his childhood, and was an expert in sword combat and many different types of martial arts. He was taught by his uncle Gouki, who was an accomplished and infamous assassin on Terracon. It is rumored that Gouki had killed Garrod's parents for the soul purpose of taking and training his nephew. And that he did. Gouki was a ruthless and uncompromising master, and had no difficulty in suppressing the child's true nature and honing his raw combat potential. He did so too perfectly, though. At age 14, Garrod killed Gouki by impaling him with a sword and throwing him from the top of a raging waterfall, destroying any hopes of ever learning his origin. For the next 7 years, Garrod led the life of one of Terracon's most mysterious and deadly warriors for hire. He showed no interest or discrimination toward his clients, and took assignments for the reason of becoming stronger, and that alone. Unfortunately for him, though, he didn't think his last client, the evil Syndicate, would ever betray him. When he went to collect his pay for one job, he was gassed and rendered unconcious. His body was then used as a specimen in the Syndicate's research experiments for sense-enhancing drugs. When his heart stopped beating after a week of testing, he was cast out into an alley, assumed as dead. In reality, the drugs had locked up his entire system temporarily, putting him into suspended animation. Some time later, when he awakened, Garrod Hironobu was dead. All that was left was a memory-less shadow, who somehow had to fend for himself...
Name: Marcus Frost
Alias: Ice
Height: 6'2
Weight: 178 lbs.
Eyes: Ice blue
Hair: Crimson
Weapons: 2 sais, a chain, and his body
Skills: espionage, street fighting, and mechanics
Appearance: Marcus Frost is a tall, thin-looking man. His muscles are
thick
and compact, giving others the impression of frailty and weakness. His
hair
is an unruly crimson mane, offset by a pair of piercing blue eyes. His
outfit is a deep purple--almost black--sleeveless training gi with a
red
tanktop beneath it and a pair of gauntlets on his wrists. He hasn't
been
known to be picky, though.
From the time he was young, two elements were strongly present in the
Tekno
known as Marcus Frost--ambition and ruthlessness. Like most inner-city
kids
who spent time on the streets while their parents were away, Marcus had
to
deal with fighting. From the look of him, you'd expect him to be the
favorite target of every big kid in town. He was small, quiet, and
smart.
And as everyone knows, that's a bad combination on the streets. But
Marcus
was too smart, and amazingly quite good at fighting. He could beat up
any
and everyone he pleased, and yet, he wanted no part of picking on the
small
and the stupid. His eyes were on a higher prize...Much higher, and
stronger...
When he was grown, Marcus, known to most as Ice for his cold and
indifferent
attitude, had become a top fighter in the underground street fighting
tournaments of Terracon. He had dismissed his education, though he was
very
adept and skilled in the academic world, as useless. He only wanted to
become stronger. During one match, though, a special visitor came to
watch
one of his matches. After Ice's swift and brutal victory, the man from
the
shadows with the dark aura made him an offer to work for him as a
mercenary.
Ice dismissed the idea at first, but was drawn into the man's offer by
the
promise of power and wealth. He knew inside that if he wanted
to--regardless
of his "boss's" feelings--he could return to his world of shadows once
more.
Now, Ice serves as one of the Syndicate's prime assassins, having
already
chocked up the deaths of many of Terracon's more radical
leaders--especially
shamans--to his total. One day, he hopes to become Terracon's most
powerful
fighter, and then leave his homeworld to further his training....
