This is my first character, so sorry if I mess up at some point. Just let me know what's wrong and I'll fix it.

Name: The Western Ronin

Age: 19

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Class: Ranger

Alignment: Non-lawful Good

Description:
Dark hair and brown eyes. He wears a dark brown leather trenchcoat, and a slightly darker brown leather wide-brimmed hat, the shadow of which often obscures his face. He is rather lean, although with the trenchcoat, it can be tough to tell, and a little short, though not too noticeably, due to his thick leather boots.

History:
The Ronin's town was destroyed when he was only five years old, leaving him an orphan. He was taken in by a band of rogues, where he learned how to wield a sword. At the age of eleven, he discoverd that the rogues were the same ones who distroyed his hometown, and, being incapable of fighting them all, he ran away. Lacking physical strength, he relied mainly on his mind. He began charting the wilderness, and whenever he visited a town, he would try to gather as much information as he could. Over the years, he has learned to be VERY perceptive of enemies, and though he's not much good at just throwing blows, he's rather good at finding and exploiting opponent's weak spots. In his travels, he has picked up on many different forms of fighting, and his own fighting style is an amalgamation of several different styles, both Western and Eastern. His thoughts are often troubled with the memories of his years with the rogues, and he sometimes succombs to fits of despair at the thought that he helped those who killed his family. This feeling of failure has caused him to forsake his name and take on the identity of the Western Ronin.

Personality:
Most people view him to be rather distant, though not mean-spirited. He doesn't like killing, and will do so only whenit's absolutely necessary. If someone appears to be truly repentent, he will refrain from killing them. He will also refuse to fight without good reason, causing some to (inaccurately) label him a coward. He's not very social among strangers, but among friends, he's actually rather light-hearted.

Weapons:
The Ronin dual-wields wakizashi, in a reverse grip. (i.e., if you hold your hand palm-inwards and thumb up, the tip of the blade is down, and the edge is forward) He also has throwing knives for attack at range. When necessar, he is proficient with most bladed weapons, but anything larger or heavier than a katana gets a little awkward.

Weapon Magic:
If used to block magical energies, his wakizashi can absorb the energy, to be unleashed later.

Character Spells
Summon Companion: Once per day, Ronin can summon a Dire Wolf named Kato to fight alongside him.

Limit Break(s):
Bird Call - Ronin pulls out a bird call, and calls a bunch of crows to attack the enemy, doing high damage, and about a 40% chance of permanantly blinding the enemy.
Flurry of Steel - Ronin throws about 20 knives quickly, each doing about 30% of the damage one would do alone.
Elements of Nature (Ronin's Ultimate Limit Break) - Ronin summons the dragons of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Void and Thunder to attack all enemies. Though they each represent a different element, all damage is considered to be non-elemental.
