Weight: 135 pounds
Clothing/appearance:
Sen's most noticeable feature is his long red hair. He's allowed it grow out for as long as he can remember and tends to braid it down the center of his head ending with a blue ribbon. His body is long and thin, almost looking under fed. However, he is in fine health and actually has a bit of muscle tone. Across his chest is a long scar that runs across his right breast down to the left side of his belly button. Due to the scar, Sen rarely removes his shirt.
Most of his clothes are somewhat baggy and lose. He's never truly dressed himself for fashion. When forced to wear his uniform it's always put together in a very sloppy fashion. Tie half pulled off, shirt un-tucked, pants without a belt, collar flipped, etc. When it comes to his usual clothes, he tends to wear a purple jacket with a hood. He very rarely likes showing his arms, so he has a tendency of wearing sleeves even when it's blazing hot out. His pants are always jeans or some sort of baggy fabric. Under his long sleeves he tends to be wearing a wife beater in either the shades of white, black or purple.
His skin is somewhat pale, and burns easy in the sun. It's rare to see Sen without dirt under his fingernails or on his clothes. It is also very rare to see him without a camera around his neck or in his hands.
Inventory/accessories: Phone, Camera, Dagger, and various cheep jewelry, mostly all made of plastics and strings.
<> Self <>
Personality:
Sen is always filled with energy that seems to shine even when he has exhausted himself. He always has to be doing something. Even if that simply tapping his foot or picking at something. He absolutly loves going for long walks or runs which often includes climbing everything in site. This is the only reason he ended up joining the track club. He doesn't have the psychical strength that most of the other students have, but what he lacks in strength is made up by his speed and pure amount of energy.
Sen loves to talk. It's possibly one of the only things keeping him alive. Then again, it could be one reason he is always in trouble. Sen can talk for hours about almost anything... even if no one is listening.
Sen almost always has a smile on his face. Despite almost always getting himself in trouble, he always seems to be able to laugh and joke around. He very rarely allows a serious matter bring him down and tries his best to look on the bright side of things.
When it comes to love Sen isn't picky. Male or female, Sen has a way to charm others but not in the way he realizes it. His attempts tend to be so lame that they bring out a charm in failed charms. Confused? But don't be fooled by his lame attempts. Most likely if he is trying to charm you, it's to get something out of you. True love for him is very rare and so is attachment to others.
Unfortunately even with his attempts to charm, and positive personality, Sen has a bad habit of lying about almost everything, including things he has no reason to lie about. Due to the compulsive lies, its hard to figure out is truths and what isn't. This works well for him, however as it tends to keep people at a distance. If there is anything good about all of his lies, it's that he is good for keeping secrets. After all, who could tell if what he says is true or not?
Then again, everything Sen does he does for himself. He'd rather lose the trust of a companion then risk himself for them. When it comes down to it, he would throw a child under a bus to save his own ass.
Sen doesn't like to admit to anything he's done wrong, even if it could help him in the long run. When he has his mind set on something he rarely gives up on it. Usually if he does it's by force. Rarely will he change his mind on subjects or back down to others.
Most of his lies, selfish ways and trust issues are due to little guidance from a secure family. Sen never truly had the chance to live a filling childhood. He was forced to fend for himself at a very young age and thus has resorted to many childish tricks now. Most often its obvious through his jokes, complaining about little things, and uncaring attitude.
Don't be fooled by his laid back, childish ways though. Sen is a scholar and a very smart young man. He may not often show it, or admit to it, but his mind is always thinking and plotting. He can be very useful for his quick thinking when he's helping you out even if he lacks the physical strength or care to protect anyone.

Habits/Mannerisms:

- He smiles whenever he is nervous or afraid of something. At times, he will even laugh or make jokes to cover up his nervousness or fears.
- He has a bad habit of snapping pictures before thinking of asking.
Strengths:
- Quick thinker/Resourceful: He tends to be able to come up with ideas on the spot and is often able to come up with solutions to most issues he faces.
- Fast mover/Athletic: Sen tends to be quick on the feet and is capable of climbing just about any obstacle he encounters. He is good at avoiding oncoming, physical danger though when it comes to physical strength he is greatly lacking.
- Intelligent: Though he may not act it, Sen's mind is always taking in new information. He is capable of learning just about anything and will retain almost all of it. Some could even call him a genius if only he would actually use his intelligence. He very rarely lets his intelligence show to others and will even go out of his way to convince others that he isn't.
Weaknesses:
- Physical Strength: Sen could punch a fly and probably have it fly away unharmed. He has next to no physical strength what so ever. Which is why he tends to avoid fighting people even if he eggs them on.
- Trust: This goes both ways. He has an extremely hard time trusting anyone around him and often wont allow them to help him properly. In return, most people don't trust him either which can cause many issues when working in groups.
- Greedy: Sen is extremely greedy and most of what he does, he does for himself. He would go as far as to steal food from a starving child to feed himself. Often his greed gets him into big trouble and adds to the many reasons most people do not trust him.

Samurai Name: Sanada Masayuki
Clan: Sanada and Takeda clan
History: Masayuki was a descendant of the Sanada clan but his father and grandfather both served for the Takeda clan. Masayuki served for them as well, but it was for a very short period of time. After their downfall, Masayuki took the lead of his family. He wasn't very powerful, but he managed to create himself a powerful independent daimyo under the Toyotomi regime. He is well known for defeating Tokugawa army in the Siege of Ueda in two different occasions which helped achieve him the title of greatest military strategists of his era. However, despite this title, Masayuki was not the honest of men. His alliances with others were always changing and could not be trusted.
Sacred Item: A necklace always seen worn around his neck
Activate Ability 1: Bait in Pass
Sen jumps back at quick speeds and creates a shadow illusion of himself last for a very short period of time. When created, it confuses his attacker into attacking it instead of him effectively keeping him out of harms way. The quickness of the motion, confuses enemies into thinking the shadow is Sen. If they touch the shadow, it will burn their flash with the raw energy, damaging them.
Activate Ability 2: Sea of Shadows
Much like his Bait in Pass ability, Sen creates multiple shadow illusions of himself, effectively hiding his allies and himself among the darkness they create. It confuses enemies and helps himself and allies avoid attacks, raising their Endurance by 2 for five seconds while the shadows are in effect. It has a 15 foot ratios.
Activate Ability 3: Mind Haze
Sen creates a mist that play with the mind, confusing his enemies into seeing shadowy illusions making the enemy believe they are being attacked by many insect or small rodent they are most afraid of. They become mentally and physically exhausted from trying to fight off insects and rodents that don't exist causing fatigue. This lasts for ten seconds.
Passive 1: Walking on Air
Sen is skilled with his feet, almost walking on the air its self. Due to this, he is unaffected by slowing effects.
Passive 2: Shadow Walk
Sen is capable of moving around in the shadows with silent steps keeping himself unnoticed by enemies and allies. He can do this whenever an enemy loses sight of him.
Overburst Color: Damson / It's a very dark purple
Overburst Attack: Invisibility
After bursting into a dark flame of purple, Sen becomes completely invisible to both enemies and allies, effectively hiding himself completely. During his time invisible, he is able to create a a more powerful Mind Haze, causing the enemies bodies to become slow and heavy. It decreases their speed, agility and Endurance by two for five seconds while the mist is in effect. It has a 15 foot ratios.
<> Background <>
Support: His Aunt and Uncle, Takahashi
History:
Sen was born into a very poor family who had very little to their name. Unknown to him and his family, they were all descendant of Sanada Masayuki. However, through years of misfortune his branch of the family was lost in the history. For a long time they became 'no-bodies' and were mashed amongst the common thieves of Japan. Though his family was large, they were all scattered amongst the country and only one of his relatives were able to break the chain, making a name for themselves.
That relitive wasn't Sen's father. His family they had very little, yet they somehow managed to get by day by day. They lived in a very small, one room complex which was often targeted by other desperate individuals. Break-ins and robberies were not uncommon. At the very young age of five, Sen lost both his parents and sister due to a home invasion. His father had attempted to fend off the intruder for what little food they had and ended up paying the ultimate price. The only reason Sen survived was because he had been unseen by the intruder and hid under their only bed.
From that point on, he was passed along to different family members to be taken care of. Due to most of those family members were poor as well they often considered Sen as either another mouth to feed or a nuances. Due to this, Sen quickly learned how to fend for himself, often resorting to stealing and lying survive. It was because of his quick thinking and intelligence that Sen eventually earned the attention of one of his one and only successful relative. His uncle and aunt, for the most part, kept themselves distant from the rest of them. However, after hearing of Sen, they believed he had great potential, and after losing their own son, they decided he would suit as a 'replacement'.
The life with his aunt and uncle was very different from the life he was use to. They had their own home and very strict rules. When Sen first came to them, he was very resistant of the rules and return received many beatings for disobeying them. Over time, he became better at keeping himself from receiving beatings, but he was never considered a 'good son' in their eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he could never please them. This was purely because they intended to raise a boy who could get accepted into the Osaka school. They had believed that his intelligence would be enough to impress the school, however all attempts in enrolling him when he came of age were turned down. Their family simply not made a strong enough name for themselves, especially since the rest of their known family were almost living on the streets. Naturally, Sen stopped caring. It even became a game to him to see how much he could mess with his uncle before either being caught or punished, of course, never enough to get him kicked out of the house.
One night when he was hiding in the attic from his uncle for something he had done, Sen found a loose floor board. Inside the floorboard had been a small box containing a necklace that looked older than dirt its self. However, having the greedy nature Sen had, he put the necklace on. It instantly came to life, reviving its self into it's former glory as it awakened the spirit of Sanada Masayuki. Sen didn't understand it's powers at first, but after many mistaken uses of it's power, he finally gained the attention of the Osaka school. It came to much supprise to the entire family, but his Uncle and Aunt were glorified by Sen's achievement. When he finally came of age, he was accepted into the school and sent to live within its walls.
