Nickname(s): Storm
Species: Maned wolf
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 5'11ft
Weight: 135lbs
Rank: Sergeant
Nationality: Florin
Mate/Crush: None yet
Offspring: None yet
Appearance:
Like a fox but much taller with longer limbs. He's got a vibrant fur color of burning golden crimson as his main body color and then jet black fur covers his arms and legs. The back of his ears are black as well as the back of his neck although his mane is laced with a crimson color on the tips and edges. His neck and chest are a light beige color and so is the tip of his tail. Though lanky, he is very muscular, body tight with compact muscles. He has the body of an expert martial artist, lean muscles, not bulging, not an ounce of extra fat on him, punching him is like punching a thick wall of steel. Has stronger arm muscles than leg muscles as he tends to use his arms a lot more in battle. Usually seen wearing a mesh shirt underneath a bullet proof best and black light knee-length baggy ninja pants with black stockings that lead down to his light black leather boots. His hands are usually wrapped with bandages and then he wears fingerless leather gloves over them.
Normally has a placid and calm expression on his face but once he is in battle it changes to crazed and demonic. Resembles a ninja with his garb and weapon choices and his method of fighting. His eyes are a deep caramel/gold color.
Looks can be deceiving as he is able to hide a wide variety of weapons on his person that no one seems to figure out how he does it. The most noticeable weapon he carries is two swords he carries on his back making an x-shape with the two. One is a japanese long sword and the other is a shorter wakizashi.
Arashi's punches are bullet speed fast and he is capable of dealing rapid succession of punches that will result in his opponent flying away from him or lying unconscious on the floor. That and with a straight spiral punch he can break guns, break bones, break doors, break freaking trees!!!
Personality:
A guy who is a dead serious fighter and no-joke assassin. He serves his purpose by serving the Florin army as its main undercover assassin but keeps this bit of information secret from the public with his low ranking status of just Sergeant. He is normally calm and stoic when not engaged in combat. He's not one to smile much but will at times crack a smirk or chuckle at something though this is rare as he is usually always on guard and business-like. Arashi is very loyal to his country and to his comrades but he has an independent mind and is very intelligent. If he thinks a higher ranked officer is not doing his job then Arashi takes matters into his own hands. The army respects him and usually lets him do as he pleases and more than once were under his orders during attacks as he is a master strategist and tactician.
Although he values success and victory as important, he would never let an important comrade be left behind or let them die for no reason. He wishes for everyone to see victory and celebrate it together.
Other soldiers and officers call him Storm, as before a fight it is like the calm before a storm and once Arashi is in battle, then the real storm hits. In battle, although he retains logical thought and reasoning, his expression changes to that of demonic and purely animalistic. He relies highly on his accurate intution and instincts as he fights which makes him a very dangerous opponent. Unlike typical ninjas who are suppose to be swift and kill stealthily, Arashi always leaves a trail of dead bodies behind him like a killer storm just rampaged the place. This is his way of striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.
Arashi is actually very good friends with his 1st Lieutenant Kiri, the only female soldier under his command. They are usually seen together and many soldiers suspect they are an item but by the way they act it's very hard to tell. They treat each other normally and are not afraid to hit one another or berate them. Although Kiri is a female, Arashi treats her no different than his male soldiers although there are slight differences. He has a soft spot for Kiri although it isn't obvious to others.
History:
Born from a rape, his father was a criminal who raped his mother. After his birth his mother abandoned him and his father took him in and trained him to be a theif and criminal just like him. With harsh training Arashi became one of the most feared and wanted criminals in the country. Once his father's gang captured and sent to prison, the army took Arashi in as they wanted his skills. Of all the criminals in the gang, Arashi was by the far the most talented and they saw that his skills would prove worthy in the army.
And thus Arashi was enlisted into the army and he swore his allegiance to his country. It's ironic as he was a former criminal, but that fact was soon forgotten as he rose in ranks in the army and took on Sergeant at a young age of 15. He also became the undercover assassin for Florin.
The war broke out against Karak and Arashi was put in charge of some lower squads in offensive charges as well as stealth burgade. He proves to be one of the most experienced soldiers in the army and many respect and even fear his reputation.
Not the most friendly of people but it seems he is very close to a new recruit Kiri, a female jackal soldier. They have been "partners" since she was enlisted and started serving under him.
Skills and Weapons:
Master martial artist who favors punching and using his arms. Is skilled in ninja art and is very adept in using any weapon although he prefers to use swords and throwing knives rather than guns as he views guns as an abomination.
His favored weapons are his japanese long sword and wakizashi which he keeps on his person at all times strapped to his back in an x-shape. he also keeps two steel tonfas with him at all times, collapsed. Other weapons he hides on his person are a load of throwing knives and daggers as well as needles he can shoot from his mouth. He also has a pair of spiked brass knuckles with a blade. These
Other weapons:
blunt brass knuckles
extendable steel tonfas
kusarigama
*for other throwing weapons he has, just google ninja throwing weapons and yeah, he basically has all of them

Name: Kiri
Nickname(s): Monkey
Species: Black-backed jackal
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Height: 5'6ft
Weight: 112lbs
Rank: 1st Lieutenant
Nationality: Florin
Mate/Crush: None yet
Offspring: None yet
Appearance:
A slendor averaged-height black-backed jackal female who is regarded as a beauty among the filth, meaning she is one of the very few females who serve in the army, not a job for your typical female anthro. Whilst she looks beautiful and she should be working in a domestic job, she is no fragile damsel and is considered a natural, a talented and gifted fighter.
She is tan all over but has a speckled back of grey and black fur. Her eyes are a vivid sapphire blue color. While muscular she has a very flexible body, like that of an Olympic gymnast and she is one of the top stealth soldiers in the army.
She is very fit and toned for a female. Her tan fur covers and conceals her tight muscules. Like Arashi she is built like a martial artist, lean and when wearing clothing looks rather skinny. Her leg muscles are stronger than her arm muscles and she can kick like a horse anthro, probably even stronger than a horse anthro as she is known to be able to break brick walls with a simple tap of her foot. It is said that her roundhouse kick can break through tough anthro bones like tree branches.
Built smaller than males she is much faster and more agile as well as lighter and with her ability to deflect attacks it makes her body structure to her advantage. Her great sense of balance allows her to deal out rapid fast kicks like Arashi's bullet punches.
With her lightness she is able to perform combination moves with Arashi and majority involve the maned wolf throwing the jackal at an opponent dealing a much more powerful with greater momentum kick or tackle.
Personality:
The polar opposite of Arashi. Where Arashi is serious Kiri is smiles and laughs, which makes people wonder how the two are such close friends. Though she likes to laugh and is more sociable than her friend, they share the same seriousness when in combat or in dire situations although even in battle Kiri sometimes treats it like a game, a game where she has to win that is.
Kind, caring, and considerate, this doesn't stop her from being tough and independent and strict to others. She dislikes dependent people and is very grateful for the fact that her partner treats her gender as a small fact. She hates being babies just because she is a female and gets annoyed and pissed off when someone degrades her due to her gender.
Loyal to her country as well as to her friends, she shares Arashi's independence and she will also question higher ranked officers if she thinks something is up. Her quick thinking skills and intelligence, rational and critical thinking skills are superb and come in handy quite a lot inside and outside of combat.
When not in a serious fight she likes to play and joke around, jumping around earning her the nickname Monkey. She likes heights and at times will be found hanging from a high pole or tree.
Her skills are more apparent in battle. Her unique fighting style uses her light-footedness as well as her stealth. She is so fast on her legs that at times it seems like she disappears and reappears in another place and also she moves so fast it seems like there's two of her. A ninja technique she uses is substitution where she disguises a piece of wood or other object as her as a decoy as she goes for the kill.
She has no qualms about killing though only kills when the situation calls for it, otherwise she's happy breaking bones and rendering her opponents immobile or paraylzed.
Kiri is close friends and sparring companions with her ranking officer Arashi. The two are often seen together on missions or just everyday which causes people to question whether they are together or not. She is very comfortable around Arashi and the two banter and throw punches at each other like nothing. She likes how he doesn't treat her different because she's a girl. While she is not entirely affectionate towards Arashi, she does have a crush on him but figures that she'll confess after this whole entire mess is over with.
History:
She was born to a quaint family, a family of business people. Her father was the CEO of a large company and her mother was the actuary to a social security corporation. She was expected to follow in their footsteps.
And she did for a while. Graduated college with a double major in Finance and accounting and went to business school. She didn't enjoy it and only did it to make her parents happy.
That is until she was about to get mugged and raped in an alley way. She was afraid and scared, never having to lift a finger to settle a conflict a day in her life. She didn't know physical violence.
But something in her snapped and she delt out kicks faster than the eyes could see and soon she had the group of 4 men unconscious and moaning in pain at her feet in seconds.
Someone clapped their hands behind her and she whipped around to see a tall maned wolf anthro as he eyed her respectfully. She met Arashi that day and he explained how she was a natural gifted fighter. He explained how he would like to teach her how to hone her skills and she could become a master martial artist if she chose to.
She felt excited at this prospect. Kiri was tired of the same boring old sitting in front of her computing counting numbers. She agreed to join the army under his leadership.
When she told her parents this she was met with rejection and scorn. Her parents were well-known business people who didn't want their reputation to be tarnished with her involvement in this mumbo jumbo fighting and violence. She was sad that her parents didn't approve of her joining the army but she tried talking sense into them. They were dogmatic about it and disowned her, putting their attention to her younger brother instead.
Relieved of family duties, although saddened that her parents disowned her, Kiri joined the army and has been with Arashi ever since. He trained her and she went through hell to come out to be who she is today. Once the war against Karak broke out she immediately was eager to show her skills on the battlefield. After her first kill Arashi was expecting her to be frightened and apalled but she surprised him by just shrugging it off, showing just how strong mentally and physically she really is.
Skills and Weapons:
Like Arashi she is a modern ninja in a way although she still uses all types of blades and she dislikes guns like her mentor. Since she relies heavily on her kicking, she wears combat steel-toed boots that conceal knives at the tip and heel so she can kick or stab her enemies. She also wears leg guards to protect her shins when she kicks.
Her boots are like this but the blade is much longer as it extends from both the end and tip of the boot. She is able to retract the blades on both ends and both of her boots are like this. Her boots also have knife holders.
Other weapons she has are similar to what Arashi has but these few are particular to her use.
Iron chain and spike
twin hook swords
collapsible bo staff
metal fan
