As for pants it depends on the occasion but mainly he goes for something comfortable, same thing goes for the shoes.

Inventory/accessories: A small (note) pocketbook, a phone and mp3 player.
Personality: Tatsuya is a very serious and stern type of person, he knows the true meaning of hard work hence why he is unable to get along with most people since most see his seriousness as both off putting and a bit condescending. He was a hard time have fun as he is that type that’s always off doing something but by no means is he a workaholic for he can relax but his form of relaxation is total social isolation. He may seem like the uncaring but this is only a half-truth he just doesn’t carry about unimportant mundane things that most do care about, when it comes to those that he deems important to him he would move the heavens to help them.

Support: Old Man Daichi –Current head of the Date clan
Rin – Childhood friend
History: Tatsuya would never know a normal life, born from a foreign merchant and the daughter of the Date clan’s leader things already look bad for the boy even before he was born. Tatsuya would never know his father as he would be long gone before he was born and as for his mother Aki was never a strong girl. Since the day she was born she was always ‘weak’ so when she died during child birth no one was surprised. Some even said that was her punishment for having a forbidden love, that both she and her child were better off dead then live in disgrace. Yet the child did not die but rather was whisked away Daichi the current head of the Date clan and Aki’s father, to save the child from a life a persecution he brought the boy into his home “an orphan he had rescued” is all he would ever say when asked about the boys origins. For many years the boy was simple known as the name Tatsuya and outsider that the Old Man had taken pity upon, most of the clan would pay him no heed seeing as nothing but a commoner not worry of their time. This is where the boy would grow up among a clan that had grown complacent in their strength having lost almost everything that had them once great.
However there was one among that the many that took an interest in the boy, a girl name Rin. Now Rin wasn’t what you’d considered a ‘normal’ girl of the clan. For she contained some of that old Date spirt thirsting for adventure and excitement, maybe that’s that she took an interest in Tatsuya for he was by far the strangest person she had ever meet. The pair would experience a many “adventures” together as the years went on but when Tatsuya was 10 his days of bliss with Rin would come to an abrupt end. Rin (who was a bit older) was sent off to live with another clan and of course losing his only friend to reasons he could not understand at the time infuriated him. When he confronted the old man about this all he got was “Sometimes things happen that are outside of our control all we can do is make the best of what’s left.” This sage advice was lost on the boy, but one thing did get across to him. If he was to make it in this world then he would have to start forging his own path.
All men of the Date were trained in the way of the sword and it would be no different for Tatsuya (who wasn’t Date yet), after Rin’s departure Tatsuya began to take solace in his training for it only then that he no longer felt powerless against the world. And it was only the only time he was “equal” to the other boys of the clan, for he was strong and dedicated and a really good student. Tatsuya dedication would eventually pay off for in the year of this 16th birthday the clan planned to hold and inheritance ceremony which roughly translated to a tournament in which the prize the Date clans sacred item. A prize that Tatsuya had convened for many years for he believed if he had it he would have to be accepted by the clan as an equal. He fought many battle making in way through the rank and file till he reached the final round to which he was fight Ryo who many thought would be named Daichi’s heir. Tatsuya who was a nobody was expected to lose the fight, both were excellent swords men but Ryo was Date while Tatsuya was nothing. The battle was hard fought but in the final moments when it seemed Ryo was about to win Tatsuya pulled off one final gambit. All through the tournament he had been fighting with a handicap which Tatsuya still believes to this day was silly but then again it allowed him to get where he is today. Tatsuya a user of twin sword style had been relying heavily on his right as his defence and only attacking with his left. Thus in that final moment with Ryo when Tatsuya brought up his right sword the other boy assumed Tatsuya would attempt to block his attack thus he put all his might into that strike planning to break his defence and destroy that orphan rat for good. Yet Tatsuya was faster and his strike sailed past the boy’s heavy swing hitting him straight on, and in that moment of certain victory Ryo was down and out Tatsuya had won. The prize was now rightfully his but just like all of his life when things started to look up for him reality had to come a knocking.
The crowd was stunned at the battles result maybe that’s why no one try to stop the boy initial but when he was just about to grab the prize box, several men surrounded and grabbed him. Dragging him off back to the ring as the crowd turned from cheering spectators into an angry mod, for how could this boy have defeated Ryo unless he had cheated. To sate the mods blood thirst the men who had grabbed the boy started to beat him mercilessly, he did not scream he did not cry no he would not give them the satisfaction. After several minutes the mod grew restless for the Tatsuya was giving them nothing. “Ryo the box.” Someone’s shout which would then echo into a cheer from the crowd, if pain would not break Tatsuya then maybe a prize lost would. In the ring upon Tatsuya’s broken body Ryo was presented the box and as he pulled the eye patch from the box he said “You could never gain such a prize scum”. In that moment the eye patch began to glow and a hush fell upon the crowed. Had they just witness birth of a new Scion, for the clan had been unable to produce one for generations, the silence was quickly broken by Ryo screams for that the light wasn’t the item accepting him but rather straight up rejecting him. As the light burned him he dropped the item right next to Tatsuya who in the confusion reached for his prize.
Hearing a commotion Daichi who had been just returned from a trip rushed over to find out what all the commotion was about. What he found was mass hysteria, now the old man was normally a quite person but when need he would be heard. In a bellowing voice he called silence, before calling out for an explanation which he quickly got. Knowing that Tatsuya was at the epicenter of these events the old man quickly made his way to the ring to which he was greeted by something he had never dreamed of. Instead of being near death he found wearing the item and perfectly ok, like always when the panic set in no one noticed Tatsuya put on the eye patch and heal from his injuries. A Scion had been born that day it just want the one everyone was expecting, and when the old man then and there named Tatsuya his heir the boy could have sworn he saw several people feint.
Over the next several week many voiced their protests over Daichi’s decision, those staying he was not worthy were reminded of the tournament, those called his character in question were reminded the item choose him, and those who voiced that he was not Date were shut down when the old man let the clan know that this boy was his daughters son and that the blood of the Date ran through his veins. In time the protests ceded but this did not mean the clan accepted the boy. Tatsuya may have gained the right to rule but until he was accepted he could never lead. So when word from Edo was received that the Scion Tatsuya was to attend school there both he and the old man knew this was his chance. In Edo Tatsuya would prove his worth and develop his skill and one day he would return and cure the cancer that plagued the Date. Before Tatsuya left to forge his own path the old man had one final gift for the boy a gift that he still uses to this day a pair of Falchions that the old man had received upon his daughter’s death a gift from a man now long gone. How armed to face the world Tatsuya was ready to face the world and take any challenge that came his way for once a dragon sets its sights on something nothing can stop it.
