COMPOSITION AND APPEARANCE:
Taishi is unusual in a great many ways. Not only are his eyes a nearly luminescent blue, his red hair and mirrored sun glasses would certainly set him apart. More striking, however, is the suit which, despite many elaborate attempts, never seems to dirty. If that wasn't enough, Taishi has never learned the concept of an 'indoor voice' and thus he literally shouts everything he says.

PERSONALITY:
Taishi is certainly one of the more unique characters you'll find in the galaxy. His is very devious, incredibly manipulative, and is often considered downright rude. On closer examination, however, All of his devious manipulations are for the betterment of the person he's manipulating. He is incredibly energetic, and he often uses his acrobatic flair to great effect. He is also prone to long lectures which paint impossibly high goals and realizations.

LIKES AND DISLIKES:
Taishi is incredibly easy going. He likes everything and hates nothing. He does have a particular pushiness to him when it comes to laggards, which is a little uncharacteristic of his all-loving facade.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Taishi is a master manipulators and planner. He is easily able to lay plans for someone's life to the extent that they won't possibly know what's coming next. His methodology is so extreme, that he's been known to go out of his way to set people up to meet his inevitable goals. Interestingly enough, and despite his nearly absurd abilities with acrobatics and stealthy appearances, Taishi can't take a hit. While he's in good health, even the slightest of physical blows will knock him off his feet. As a result, he rarely fights with people unless it's in his own forte, mind games.

SHIP:
Mizuki's Profile
Starship Type: Fast courier
Faction: N/A
Description: Mizuki is a very unusual vessel in a number of regards. Strangely aerodynamic, she really doesn't look like the fast courier she is. This was quite intentional.
Weapons: Mizuki is completely unarmed.
Systems: Light shielding/armor, extensive engine banks, along with the traditional loadout.
Size: 60m by 25m by 10m (l x w x h)
Capacity: three metric tons.
Crew: min of one, tho it's rigged for as many as 4 crewers and 10 passengers.
Availability: restricted, only known model due to massive amounts of customization.
special attributes: The most unusual thing of note about this vessel is the fact that it's lightly armored 'skin' is laced with holographic projectors. This allows the ship to either appear invisible or change her appearance to whatever is deemed appropriate for any given situation. As her hull doesn't physically change, a special device has been created. Due to the nature of sensor energy, this device can create or deflect sensor echoes to adjust the size and shape of the perceived ship.

HISTORY:
Taishi has always been a masterful manipulator, even among his species. Ever since he was three, he always seemed to come home with something new. Shortly after he turned five years old, he was approached by a jedi. This jedi mentioned something about the force and being 'able to affect the minds of others' but it was far beyond his wants and needs. Taishi's parents agreed to allow him into the jedi order, on the condition that they lived with and taught him their own morals and philosophies in a fairly normal life. The jedi had no recourse but to withdraw the offer, as the jedi were supposed to be isolated from their families during their training.

A while later, Taishi pondered the meaning of being 'force sensitive'. He had already found he was able to manipulate people incredibly easily, but there seemed to be more to it than that. Despite not being a part of the jedi order, Taishi was determined to learn all that he could about what his sensitivity meant and would allow him to do.

As he grew older, Taishi began mastering acrobatics. Despite his untraditional training, Taishi was able to unlock a small portion of telekinetic ability, which allowed him to quickly rise to the top of his class in terms of agility, balance, and jumping. Ironically, however, this ability never manifested itself in something conscious for Taishi, so it has no effect when he's not concentrating on doing something.

Taishi began trying to master his ability to manipulate people, in addition to his skill and flexibility with physical prowess. Slowly but surely, he began to improve, until, one day, he was even able to use affect mind to make his teacher think he had a perfect score on his exam, despite having only 85% of the exam correct. He Began to study this ability, and by the time he was nineteen, he found that he could make the average person believe almost anything.

For a while, Taishi then joined the Jedi Order, trying to master his abilities further. While he learned a few useful tricks, such as force concealment and the ability to consciously affect people's minds, he soon left the oder, being completely frustrated with the laid-back atmosphere and the soft, unspoken ambitions to make knight. After a rather lengthy attempt to 'fit in' with normal society, he eventually gave up and became something of a hermit. A hermit, however, who had swindled his way into a high-speed courier.

As time wore on, Taishi became bored with his lack of social life. His skill at manipulation had become rusty at best, despite his advancement in stealthy movements. He spent the next several months relearning his previous skill, and in short order was once more a master of peoples' minds.

It was during these months that he met a young human, struggling his way thru school. At first, he thought nothing of it, but as time passed and he met this strange, almost pitiful character more often, Taishi began to feel sympathy, and without realizing it at first, began manipulating the boy. After a while, the young boy began to grow more sure of himself. Taishi, having been searching for some purpose to use his skills for, decided to use his gift to further the lives of others, rather than his own goals.

Now Twenty six years old, he decided to have cosmetic surgery. As an umbaran, the average person he met viewed him with distrust. It was only with his abilities he could override this into a feeling of trust, within which his skills worked best. His cosmetic surgery was an unusual case, tho the new coloring will never fade, nor will the hair ever need trimmed; both are synthetic.

He has only recently recovered from this surgery, and is now wondering where he will end up.

Awesome Character. You used the old Chinese doode from Dynasty Warriors' name and planted a Reno picture on him. Epic Win.

On a serious note, you are really detailed with the ship and the Biography in your profiles. Your awesome.

It's not specifically said in his profile, there's no "Born on the planet Umbara", ofcourse I got the general idea for a Umbaran because him mentioning being more controlling than others of his race.

heh, I just make you read it a few times until you get the little details ^.^

but yeah, I'm detailed with the ships cause I absolutely love 'em. I can take virtually any pic you can pass me and slap a pair of reasonable stats on that both fit the pic and fit what you're trying to do with said pic. It's the best part of making a character, aside from the personality quirks :P.

As for the profile, I picked that up from lanx (same guy as the lanx on this site, he taught me quite a bit when I first started RPing :P). He made a char profile years ago about a guy named Lanx Branch (a name which he's ingeniously recycled, similar to how I've pulled the Miran/Darren thing). I read that profile, which was a serious block of text. I think it was like thirty thousand characters or so. Ever since then I've gotten into the habit of expanding on my history extensively :P.

btw, every name has a history, take a look at this one ^.^:

I know he's cool isn't he. Gawd, that makes me want to make another profile. And with the name Gan Ning. He was on the same Kingdom as Taishi Ci. But yeah, this profile is awethome.

Screw what Dan thinks about oriental profiles: he can't stop their production outside the box of not making any himself. I'd also say it would be hellishly funny.
