The Story of Nidan Trickster
"Wake up you lazy ingrate." said a all to familiar voice. One that he wished would just leave him alone until noon or at least sun up not even sun up! *WACK* Screaming Trickster woke up rubing his face. "I dont like to tell you twice said the voice". The voice came from his "Uncle Rei" a Thief with the fighitng skills to back up his mouth, Trickster knew he had to obey the man not for respect for taking him in when he was abondoned but simply because he feared the man! His mother was a small beautiful women living in the Land of Felluca desperatly trying to get out to the newly discovered world of Trammel to a place of safely. Some where quite to raise a child but while moving she was attacked by a group of murders the killed her just for the fun of it and looted and pilaged threw her house, His father was killed while his mother was still carrying him. A noble man he was running threw the lands fighitng off evil when one day on his way home he was attacked by 6 men althought the best there was he fell but not before killing 4 of them and another dying from a poisonus stab delt to him, and the last with out a left hand.
But back to the present we have his Uncle a powerful Keptlomatic thief. Who would normally run around the island of Buc's Den stealing from some poor soul weither it would be bandages from the warrior's or Reg's from the mages the person he pilfered from all wayswent chasing takeing the bait of course not expecting a simple thief to be able to defend him self died and lost all his possessions to him. Its that kind of power that kept Trickster under his thumb.
Rubbing his face while waking up Trickser peered into the water barrel out side in disgust for his uncle. His face used to be quite handsome and when he would stay over at a neighbors while his uncle went to work he would charm all the young ladies until one day the father of one of the ladies caught them he marched Trickster to his house and threatened to kill his uncle if he even saw Trickster again. His uncle being of short tempere killed the man out right and put a cut mark in Tricksters cheek from the top of the cheek bone down to the jaw with his small dagger. Clentching his face Trickster yelled at him and threw a dagger. His uncle who had years of experience deflected t dagger to the ground and put a matching cut on the other cheek. Yelling and crying asking why his uncle mearly said. The first mark was for killing a man and the second one was for throwing that dagger at me and not killing me. From now on if you dont do as your Told I will cut your face again and any other part of you i can put a dagger.
This sort of treatment went on for years. His uncle decided he got a Job so he begin training him to be a Thief since no honest man was going to live in his house. If he failed to escape after stealing he was given a cut on the back not deep but no smaller then 3 inches in lenght. If he stole and guards were called on him, he was cut on the chest. If he failed to sneak into a house and steal with out getting caught he was given a cut on his leg if his uncle got drunk and deemed him needing a new cut anywhere it was given. After years of abuse Trickster grew tired of his Uncles ways and left in the middle of the night.
The magical blue Moongate was but a short distance north of where his uncle lived. Running and Ducking behind tress and houses Trickster made it to the Gate but as he was almost there his uncle attacked him jumping threw the gate he selected a random place. The place he unded up was non other then the Town of Zento on the island of Maktao-jima. With his uncles last attack on him he noticed a large quanity of blood driping from his right arm from the long cut his uncle made running for help he was brought to the local healers by a kind monk and soon passed out as the healer tended to his wound. Upon waking up Trickster noticed one thing out side. There were people laughing and playing and not fighting and killing each other, and some of these People were wearing hooded mask and were treated with respect from others. Looking at the healer who was checking at his wounds he asked him were he could obtain a mask like that. The healer told him "Those are ninja's and only ninja is allowed to wear a mask like that for it means he has no past no future and no now he is a shadow living not here but in darkness doing his honorable duties to the Empress". Blinking at the healers response he then asked "So where can I get a mask like that?" The healer let out a deep *sigh* and told him he would not tell because he did not wish to ready another corpse for burial. Disapointed he left the healers and headed for out skirts of town where he came among a small waterfall and believed it water and began drinking from it to the point where his head startd spining and then he passes out and begin to dream. In his dream was a shadow, a shadow that had the form of a wolf, and the wolf spoke, now to most people A speaking wolf might be weird be unknown how he Trickster was flat out drunk and passed out so a talking wolf in his dream seemed to work with him...as long as the booze kept flowing, Anyways the wolf said but a few words" Not seen, Not heard, quick as the lighting in the sky, Powerful as the mighty gods of old and delicate as a flower, and then he woke up to a stranger kicking him and saying how he hates tourist diping his bucket and walkng away. Now Trickster wasnt the brightist fire fly in the sky so he took it as a normal dream.
Taking a oath to dismiss and unlearn his past Trickster took and picked up a stray weapon off the ground and swore to become stronger and obtain one of those mask! Of course running around the waste land of felluce he had natural high ability to hide and stealth he then learned from a monk the proper way to apply bandages and such but even thou all this time had past he still knew nothing of how to obtain a mask! so he decided to follow one of the men with mask and take it by force! following him this way and that way he stalked as if his life depended on it until right before his eyes the man turned into a beast! but not any beast a wolf! He looked almost identical to the wolf in his dream. Then he knew it was something about that water fall and ran back to it drinking up as much as he could passing out once again.
The dream came different this time, this time he was observing a man slip from Shadow to Shadow tree to tree house to house presueing a man and the man not knowing he was being followed a closer look at the follower put Trickster into shock it was a man with a scare only slightly visable threw the blue hooded mask he was wearing touching his own he knew that he was looking as if he was seeing the future then it faded as the figure looked at him with narrow eyes as the words "no future" echoed in his mind, and then he saw a more familiar piece of history one of hi uncle beating him looking at him self the scene faded as well with the words "no past" echoing in his mind. Then he saw something else he recognized a waterfall and a man passed out beside it, and he noticed it was him! but another figure was there as well but gone when he blinked , once again awakd by a man complaining about tourist, Walking back to town he noticed two children playing then all of a sudden one became a cat and the other a dog right before his eyes! He followed the children for several hours watching them play dog and cat , cat and mouse. While peering from the shadows a masked figure asked him what his business was in Zento without thinking he responded "I want to do that! laughing the man directe him to a small place where he learned day and night for years the art of ninjitsu and the way of stealth, until they claimed they could not teach him any more Upon leaving the school he was playing with his newly learned skills running around the town as a wolf, dumb founded he went to the tailor and had a mask made where he laughed once he was told of where he could gt one. but threw the corner of his eye he felt watched and was then approche by a young female who claimed she knew what he was and that he could help him. Unbelieving she was a guild master of a Ninja clan which Trickster eagerly joined and Soon in a short time became the strongest member of becoming cocky and arrogent he would challenge three or four members at a time using a age old manuver of divide and conquer this went on for the longest time ever enjoying every bit of it but then it happened. His mentor, leader and friend became a shadow in the great darkness waiting refusing to give up he stayed hoping her return but when it became clear he would never see her again he left to begin training alone and in the wilds for months he did this until he ran into a old friend that lead him to a larger Ninja Clan known as the Blue Lotus with his time in his last clan he had ran into the Blue Lotus once or twice but never thought that much of them but his friend said they were at least worth checking out unknown to him he went and interviewed to join meeting with the Senior Sensi Hanya he quicky joined and had the oppertunity to be tested by the Soke Takashi Mandaka Himself as nervous as he was Trickster set out like a true ninja using his trusty bow and arrows he gave the Soke a run for his money defeating him twice and inflating his ego by much more.
Over the next few weeks he soon became friends with the other Oshiegos and was tested for admittiance into the Blue Lotus chapter Itself where he passed both the written and physical test like a ninja with deception and skill, He then became a simple Shodan running around mocking his guild mates and having fun watching them run from his arrows In the Soke's abstence Shidoshi Bishimi was in charge and Trickster tried to model himself after him with the grace and personality of how a ninja should be following orders without question and with no hesiation he soon became Nidan althought he gets on his fellow ninjas nerves alot he knows they enjoy having him on their side after all he has a ego the size of makato and wont hesitate to brag about his skill in battle and knows it cant be denied
