[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,10,true][atrb=style, width:450px;,bTable] NAME AGE Eight and twenty RACE Human FACTION Xihe. canon. "Imperial prince" MY NAME IS Saito, AND MY AFFINITY IS Earth. MY SECONDARY ELEMENTAL IS Wind. I AM Heterosexual AND I AM PLAYED BY Shizuka. personality The young prince is not very well known between siblings, being the silent creature that he is however that doesn't mean that he knows not of his relatives, Saito is well informed about what happens in the court, of course the ability to spy and espionage was not available for the prince-ling however due to his very young age, he was -in the eyes- as unworthy opponent. And since life is a vast stream full of chances, Saito was a hunter of sorts. So it was quite easy to clad himself in the garments of politeness while his tongue was a refined blade of polished eloquence, Saito was able to befriend servants and concubines, maids and eunuchs, so that they would do his subtle bidding which was information..And knowledge is power. Due to some incidents of the past, Satio grew envious of his kin outside the circle of his own good for nothing blood siblings born by his own mother. Ambitious enough and greedy for forcing them to bend the knee. Yet, Saito sports a sense of zeal believing that kin slaying is totally forbidden, he will make sure that royal blood shall not flow however that doesn't mean that they will not suffer the consequences of their actions especially if they wanted to usurp his rule and shout for mutiny. So out of normalcy Saito is strict and harsh, just as he is unforgiving and merciless. His motto is "I always pay my debts..with interest." Saito is loyal to those who are loyal to him, and so he would exalt them with compassion. And he would be the stern adversary for his enemies for he would smite with immense fury. The young prince has the qualities in him to lead however he inherited the traits of kings for he is stubborn as much he is calculating, sharp minded like a deftly well made steel. And who ought to be the emperor hates this word called 'No'. Regardless, there is still a good part of him which he rarely shows, and even when Saito shows such warm feelings, usually they subtly hidden and disguised. Indeed scarce when the young prince manifests empathy behind his cold face of politeness. But when he believes that the walls are no more listening..he would be very gentle with his sister. history Saito enjoyed seeing the bloom of cherry blossoms for eight and twenty springs. Being born to the emperor's third wife, for the latter belonged to a lowly house between the nobility though her qualities of cameleer and refined etiquette were evident and pretty much clear. But that didn't save the new mistress from the prying eyes and gossip condemning her oriental self of the sin known as 'low station' despite being a nobility. The emperor had this habit of marrying into people to grant their loyalty for a long time sworn fealty. This mistress whom is Saito's mother was named 'Kikyo' since her birth belonging to a remote clan known for their fine swordsmanship. Perhaps, the Emperor yearned for someone to slay the dragon and for such reason, he made the pact. The suffering darkened Kikyo's soul, Demeaned at every step with humiliating looks, sly grins and some wicked rumors. Who was once fragile gentle princess, by then the emperor's strong and determined mistress was filled with loathe and hatred. So in turn, she filled her offspring from the same poisoned drink. Yet potent but not deadly, Saito's quenched his thirst from such a horrendous drink while watching the withering of his twain older siblings, perishing in their confrontation against a mighty dragon, reaching the ultimate conclusion that soon it would be his turn, though after the trails of other distant and not bound by blood siblings. As a matter of fact, Kikyo was quicker to admit such, her heart was broken seeing her own two being buried one after another a fact knowing that her last son would have to join the lethal fray being forced by the strong deadly current which was a long struggle for the throne. As a pretense, she led Saito to think that he has to endure a very harsh course of training in the end winning the race. but in reality, Kikyo feared for her sole remaining son from any kind of pain, she had to prepare for the distant looming mortal combat..By then he was about eight when her womb was filled with sweat life, Saito's sister to be born. And so, Saito's life totally changed as his mother was bringing him up with utmost care. Kikyo requested aid from her father to send an entourage chosen at his sophisticated behest for one purpose and reason. The mistress didn't trust the court with her own child, and so she thought to have faith in her father's banner men to teach her lone son was the wisest course of action. Eventually, Saito was trained in the arts of swordsmanship and the dealings of the court and other etiquette such as tea ceremonies, calligraphy, poetry, board game of go and much more. Enduring such harsh training and tutoring, Saito's senses became refined as well as his skills undergone a major overhaul thus turning out as honed. However, the young prince suffered a heavy blow losing his own mother when she was giving birth as the mistress entrusted all her feelings to her only daughter whom she named 'Nao-yeon lian hua'. After burying his own mother, Saito wrote - despite rocking the gates of his ninth year, however mature for someone in his late teens - for his grandfather to send a wet nurse for his own daughter and a caretaker to look after them in the capital. Indeed, not having so much time, Saito tried to pass the moments of spare leisure with his lone sister. And come a distant promised first light of morning, Saito found himself treading the trail of duo monks, towards the temple where he ought to slay the dragon or die trying. Clad in what could be called as Samurai armor, one blade rested at his side hiding it's wrath and the urge to be drawn out, a Katana that he named 'Tasogare Higanbana'. The moment came to exact vengeance to his heart content to spill the profound deposited malice within the corners of what assumed the role of the ebbing that sustained his well being and presence, there was beast to hunt and slay, the same being which killed his older siblings before him and powerful determination not to fail his mother's expectations and a brilliant intention to return to his sister. Saito remembered everyday's lesson. "Fear cuts through flesh more than a blade", "Nimble like a crowned stag", "Let them tire and preserve your power", "You must be slyly cunning and gracefully cautious, observe the witty fox", Your strike must be swift and true, never leave an opening for your opponent, swing your blade with the intent to kill and never hesitate., You are the earth, your enemy can not penetrate you., Your blade is your deadly arm, the extension of your sharp mind., Free you are, like the wind.. and so many more..Until the dragon was slain brandishing the young prince with a mark of honor, a scare decorating his brow and cheek, above and below the left eye. Saito was five and twenty by then when the beast was slain, the role of the crown prince was his to assume and an empire to rule. But their were difficulties, a ridge between different councilmen regarding the relationship's nature with the west, furthermore other shadows that have no desire seeing him ascending the mantle of emperor-ship..Thus began Saito's game of thrones, three years passed since then. notes OPTIONAL.
