Name: Renji Nagakura
Alias: Yoshie Sugimura
Age: 27
Gender: male
Oraganization: former Shinsengumi
Appearance:
(middle; LOL that's actually supposed to be Harada Sanosuke xD) Renji is 5' 9" tall, and weighs 119 pounds. He now wears a simple black gi with white lining, straw sandals, and black kotetsus, or back-of-the-hand guards. He still wears his Shinsengumi headband, although he ties it on his upperarm sometimes. Renji's got dark brown hair, and maroon/brown eyes.
Personality: Renji tends to act a lot like Sagara Sanosuke, with the same tendency to pick fights and always be chewing on a thin needle-like reed. . . However, he seems to have a bit of Okita Souji in him, and usually gets into fights through calm provokation(sp?). Also, Renji claims that he isn't the same as he was during the Bakumatsu. Like Kenshin and his Battousai self, Renji has a split personality. He hopes that he'll never have to release the Shinsengumi in him again.
History: Renji was born in the Matsumae clan's kami-yashiki (upper residence) in Edo on July 11, 1850. His father was Nagakura Kanji, a retainer of the Matsumae clan. Like Okita Souji, Renji was a true product of the Edo era, being a son of a retainer (of a domain he had never seen), who had lived in Edo most of his life. At six, Renji entered Okada Juusuke Toshisada's Shintou Munen Ryuu dojo. At age thirteen he reached sixth dan, and received the menkyo kaiden certification. A year later, Renji left the service of the Matsumae clan in order to travel and improve his technique. He spent some time at Yurimoto Shuuzou's Shintou Munen Ryuu dojo. Renji also spent time at Tsubouchi Shume's Shingyoto Ryuu dojo, where he met Shimada Kai, the future vice-captain of the Shinsengumi 2nd unit, which Renji was the captain of. He started "taking his meals" at Kondou Isami's Shieikan. Two years later, at age sixteen, Renji and Kondou's group joined the Roshigumi. Upon arrival in Kyoto, they joined Serizawa Kamo and his group in staying in Kyoto while the rest of the Roshigumi returned to Edo. One of the charter members of the Mibu Roushigumi, formed by the Kyoto Shugoshoku ("Kyoto Protector") Matsudaira Higo no Kami, headed by Kondou and Serizawa. After the events of September 18, 1866, the group became known as the Shinsengumi. Renji became the vice-captain of the 2nd unit in 1866, then became the captain in 1867. During this time, he fought with Himura Kenshin (Hitokiri Battousai) and Kamizaki Ren (Hitokiri Shinsei). However, a great civil war ended his captain position. The Shinsengumi dispersed and the Meiji era arrived. Renji started wandering and did this for quite sometime. He was content with his new life, and visited his hometown of Edo, now known as Tokyo, and Kyoto often. One day, Renji heard word of Hitokiri Battousai and Shinsei being in Tokyo. . .
Family: none, all deceased
Friends: any remaining Shinsengumi members
Aquaintances: Himura Kenshin, Kamizaki Ren, Saitou Hajime
Weapons: three katanas (Meikawatsurugi, "The Destiny Stream", the long sword, and Higureyuri no Ken, "The Dusk Lily", the short sword, and one unnamed, all made by Nagasone Kotetsu, a great swordsmith of the early Edo period), Shintou Munen Ryuu, experience with Santouryuu (use of three swords) but is not very good with it
RP Sample: none
Anything Else: Renji is left-handed, otherwise known as a southpaw, and wears his swords on his right side.
Interesting Facts: Renji is based on Nagakura Shinpachi Noriyuki, a real life member of the Shinsengumi. Shintou Munen Ryuu was the actual swordstyle he practiced. Also, in the anime of Rurouni Kenshin, Makoto Shishio refers to Kotetsu, the swordsmith, in episode 37.
