Name:Senji Yamada
Gender:Male
Race:Demonic Shape-shifter
Age:778
Orientation:Bisexual, very dominant
Occupations:Assassin, Mercenary, Murderer, Thief, Con-artist
Appearance:Height:6'2"
Senji is fairly tall, but not outlandishly so. He tends to stand taller than most he encounters, looking down on them physically as much as he does mentally and emotionally.
Weight:153 lbs
Thin, willowy, and lithe could describe Senji's body fairly accurately. He's not particularly muscular, but that doesn't mean he's weak by any means. Over the years he's done a lot of training to make his body a lean, efficient machine with which he can carry out his missions without the annoyance of carrying around extra bulk. Senji didn't design his body to win a weight-lifting contest, but instead he's focused on making himself quick and agile.
Facial Structure:The best way to describe his facial features is simply elegant; perhaps just slightly androgynous. He's not overtly masculine, but he's not got a girlish countenance either. His eyebrows are delicate and arched, and a few shades lighter than his hair. Senji does not grow facial hair.
Eyes:Crimson
Senji's eyes are a most appropriate color, the shade of freshly spilled blood. Cold, cruel calculating, or burning with a fiendish desire, they are striking and his gaze can be unnerving.
Hair:Grey
Senji was born with white hair, but it has steadily darkened with age. Right now it is a medium shade of grey, but eventually it shall be pure black. Gently waved and bouncy, his hair is soft and silky to the touch, kept just long enough to frame his face, his hair turns up lightly at the tips.
Skin:Pale
Only slightly pale, his skin is a rather normal looking pink, without being tanned. There are no scars, tattoos, or piercings on his body. His skin is smooth, soft, and there is no hair on his arms, legs, and chest.
Clothes:Eclectic
Senji has a great love for fine things. He will wear silks when possible, and even his practical clothes are finely made. Subtle shades of grey and black are preferred when working, but he is also fond of red.
Personality:Cold & Calculating:You might think that Senji was the one responsible for the phrase 'in cold blood', because the ground beneath his feet should frost as he walks. He can come to a decision to murder someone as easily as the average person could decide on what to have for breakfast. Being trained to assess a situation, calculate the best possible outcome for his own interests, and carry out a plan of action with a deadly precision, Senji might as well be a machine for all the emotion he shows in some of his various heinous crimes committed throughout his lifetime.
Malicious & Cruel:Have you ever cut a puppy just to watch it bleed? Senji has. He's raped, tortured, and murdered people, just to hear their screams. Demented? Well, yes, actually, thank you for noticing. Cold he may be when reaching a decision, but to be perfectly honest, when it comes to carrying out some of his most vile plans, Senji takes great joy and pride in his work. The man has taken torture and death and turned it into an art form. He fancies himself a rival of Leonardo da Vinci himself.
Arrogant & Narcissistic:Senji doesn't just think he's better than you, he knows he is. It takes a lot to impress him or to gain his respect and he has a pretty nasty habit of looking down on everyone around him and has been known to be very condescending. He will obey orders from clients, but only because money talks, and he's quite fluent in that particular language. Don't expect help from this guy, he's not into charity. If it doesn't have anything to do with him or it will not greatly benefit him in some way, then it's not his problem.
History:Senji was born into a very large family. His father had seven wives and in the end, he fathered twenty-seven children. Xanji Yamada was a king among demons. For thousands of years the Yamada ruled a remote part of the world, unchallenged. It was a very dangerous family to enter, but even they could not imagine what had been birthed into their midst.
Only the strong survive. All the children were expected to compete and fight for the favor of their father and the right to be called his heir. Senji's childhood was filled with blood and death, assassinations, and attempts. Only one other child of Xanji survived Senji arriving into adulthood, and that was Senji's full-brother, Kanji. Their mother only had the two of them; she died before bearing any other children.
From the age of seventy onward, regardless of his birthright, Senji officially became an assassin and mercenary. He left his home behind, ignoring his royal obligations. What he craved was self-satisfaction, and he'd developed a fine taste for killing. Over his long life he's earned and spent hundreds of fortunes, had countless lovers, and only one true friend. Maverick was older than Senji, but it was Senji that taught him to be a true master of death. Any idiot can kill someone; it takes a much greater skill to do it well.
Senji's home no longer exists. It was destroyed, his father and his remaining wives fading into oblivion. It meant nothing to him. As always, he cares only for his own pleasure. His life is nothing but a series of events, with him on an endless quest for his next great thrill.
Senji's Lost ChaptersRelationships:Maverick Alinari: To describe the true nature and depth of Senji's relationship with this man would take a long, long time. They are partners and rivals, mentor and student, and lovers and enemies all at the same time. Maverick frustrates Senji to no end, but at the same time he finds himself inexplicably drawn to him. He loves to hate and hates to love him.
Lady Danica: Senji's late wife. She died in a tragic...accident.
Kanji Yamada: Senji's younger brother. He both loves and hates his sibling. This is his only full-blooded sibling, and for his own reasons, this is his only sibling that he has allowed to live.
Abilities, Magic, and Powers:Immortality: He's a demon and immortal. While a demon, he was not born with immortality. He earned it through many, many sacrifices. He continues to this day to make ritualistic sacrifices to maintain his immortal status.
Regeneration: His body heals itself, no matter the damage. This doesn't necessarily happen very quickly, but it does happen. Once he was so badly harmed that it took ten years for his body to even begin to heal itself.
Illusions: He is very good at illusions of all five senses. Mortals are easy prey. Demons and other non-humans are much harder to deceive, but he has been known to play tricks upon the minds of his fellow immortals.
Blade Dancer: Without a doubt he is a master of the blade. If it has a blade, Senji can wield it with a control and finesse reserved for only a true master. He has had hundreds of years to perfect his techniques.
Inhuman reflexes, senses, and strength: As a demon Senji is faster and stronger than mere mortals. His senses are also much keener.
Poisons: One of Senji's favorite methods of destruction are lethal toxins. He takes both natural and synthesized poisons to use against his victims. He is immune to their effects after years of slowly poisoning himself and building up his tolerance to most known venoms.
Weaknesses:Immortality: The immortality itself is obviously not a weakness, but the fact that it is not a permanent or naturally occurring gift. Senji gained his immortality through ritualistic sacrifice. He must make regular sacrifices to maintain his strength, youth, and immortal gifts.
Demoncraft: Those who dare practice the art of commanding demons can use their powers against him. He is a demon and as such is capable of being trapped by the proper runes, spells, and commands.
Holy Power: Like most demons, all things holy cause him pain and discomfort.
