Special Abilities
Power Source: X-Factor (genetic mutation)
Physical Powers:
Insert power here: Tachyon Field
Power Level: Good.
Skill Level: Amazing
Detailed power description: Infusing a suitable object, preferably a sword or similar weapon with energy, Silver Samurai can create a Tachyon Forcefield around the weapon. The effect of this makes the object almost unbreakable and gives it a cutting power exceeding any existing weapon, capable of slashing through almost any matter with relative ease. Thanks to this Tachyon Field, Silver Samurai is able to easily deliver one-hit killing strokes and to penetrate most physical defenses such as hightech armor, rock, steel and others. Like Wolverine’s claws however the cutting power is still somewhat limited depending on Silver Samurai’s own physical power when dealing with the most resistant materials. The more special substances like Adamantium cannot be cut.
Fighting Skills:
Silver Samurai is a master of the sword, specializing in edged weaponry. Having learned several martial arts, he is a master of hand-to-hand combat and a briljant tactician, frequently leading Yashida Clansmen or agents of allies into combat, in person.
Non-combat Skills:
A great bussinessman, Harada has shown great insight in running a company but also dealing with others on a diplomatic level. A keen mind and rather eloquent, he has displayed a great knowledge regarding ancient Japanese customs, traditions and methods. His past as a mercenary and Viper’s right handman has given him great insight in the criminal underworld and the way illicit activities are performed.
Character Statistics
Fighting: Amazing
Agility: Remarkable
Strength: Good
Endurance: Remarkable
Reason: Exellent
Intuition: Excellent
Psyche: Good
Health: 130
Psychological Profile
Character Concept: A traditionalist, conservative modern Samurai. A warrior that is honorable, dutyful but views things as Order versus Chaos not Good versus Evil. His actions are dictated by his code and ambitions and therefore he can end up on either side of the moral fence depending on the situation.
Orientation: Heterosexual.
Demeanour: Traditionalist.
Nature: Traditionalist.
Notes: Kenuichi Harada is a stereotypical figure in behaviour. Speaking english with a clear accent, behaving disciplined and stoïc, even mystical in some ways. Rather calm and confident and possessing clear poetic eloquence. His presence when an ally is reassuring and he is a distinctly civilized man. Regardlessly he can be and/or seem cold and ruthless when his code of conduct and antiquated ways with new morality and human sentiment. A certain paradoxality is inherent with him. Harada does what he believes is ‘the right thing’ but that can have him end up with the bad guys. His dutyful and almost amorous behaviour towards Viper in the past is an example of it as is his dedication to honing his skills when he was a mercenary, causing him to do much harm to others.
Goals: Perfecting his skills, protecting and strengthening Japan, upholding the ways of old, leading the Yashida Clan to new heights of glory.
Weaknesses: Silver Samurai, despite his skill and tactical insight is limited in mutant powers. His Tachyon Field is deadly and his teleportation a most useful asset but in a world of telepaths, Wolverine’s, Storm’s and worse, he can find himself hardpressed when ill-prepared.
Personality-wise, he is also not devoid of flaws as his clinging onto old traditions, his ways somewhat detached from modern day, his perfectionism in all things and the many responsibilities and self-imposted honorbound restrictions can be as much a weakness or handicap than that they strengthen his resolve and strength of will.
Contacts: The Imperial House of Japan / Goverment, Yashida Clan and Conglomeration contacts, Big Hero 6, Underworld/Mercenary contacts.
Relatives: Shingen Harada (father, deceased), Mariko Yashida (half-sister, deceased), Noburu-Hideki (brother-in-law, deceased), Shiro Yoshida (Sunfire, cousin), Leyu Yoshida (Sunpyre, cousin, deceased), Saburo Yashida (cousin, deceased), Tomo Yashida (cousin, deceased)
Enemies: Any and all threats to the Yashida Empire and Japan.
History:
Kenuichio Harada is the bastard-son of Shingen Yashida. Raised to serve the Yashida Clan, he was fully indoctrinated in ancient ways, traditions and codes of honor and conduct. Trained and forged to act as an enforcer and high-ranking assassin. Eventually he would don a hightech silver armor, oriental in design as befitting his traditional views, hence his codename: Silver Samurai. When his father Shingen died and a more open woman named Mariko Yashida came to power, he found himself and his skills more and more questioned, even unneeded. The proud warrior than left hoping to find honor but also power in the world.
Eventually Silver Samurai would more and more work as a freelance operative, taking on challenging mercenary work using either brute strength, stealth or both. The height of his mercenary career was when he became bodyguard to Viper, serving her as her unwavering and loyal righthandman. Using his training, skills and insight both to assist the management of her organisation and to protect her from her foes and rivals. His unwavering loyalty was spawned forth from his strong sense of duty and amorous feelings for the intelligent but manipulative woman. The reason why he currently no longer serves as her protector and main minion is unknown… some even suspect he may still have some links to Hydra.
Eventually Silver Samurai would resurface as a defender of Order and served in the Japanese Superhero-team Big Hero 6 as leader and tactician. This superhero-team is goverment funded and in times of great crisis or for special missions they come forth to protect Japan’s interests.
Not too long ago, Kenuichio Harada has obtained control of the Yashida Clan due to being the closest relative alive and the one deemed most worthy. Reforging the Yashida Clan and strengthening the Yashida Conglomerate, Harada has proved both a capable and insightful leader and a cunning bussinessman, bringing great wealth and influence to his Clan. Remaining true to his traditionalist roots and his martial nature, Harada maintains a strong military edge to his clan, operatives and warriors that protect his assets and uphold a similar code to his own. Though mostly Legal, Harada at times does ‘taint his soul’ by digging into illicit practices. The goverment casts a blind eye to this as Silver Samurai remains a pivotal figure in Big Hero 7, a strong and genuine supporter of the Imperial Throne, to which he is distantly linked by blood and a firm defender of Japanese interests. Yashida’s interests and Japan’s are due to Harada’s influence closely linked and even it’s illegal activities on the long run have a tendency to strengthen the nation instead of weakening it.
Noteworthy is the fact Harada still frequently undertakes missions of risk as Silver Samurai and insists on constant self-improvement. Ensuring that he is surrounded by loyal but competent aides and distant relatives who can take on the mantle of leadership when he is away.
Interview:
Why did you choose our site?: A friend sent me to this forum. I'm an avid rper and we were going over possible locations we could rp as another X-related forum is dying out.
What about this character do you like?: A paradoxal personality. He has shown distinct heroic traits. Such a strong sense of honor, a code which he lives up to, traditionalist morality and great courage even when facing mutants far more powerful. On the other hand he's been treacherous and has affiliated himself with villaineous causes such as those of Viper. But also i like his look/design overall. And i have a weakness for feudal Japan.
Have you ever RPed before? Where?: I've rped and moderated for well over 10 years. Both fantasy, scifi, adult, historical, anime etc...
I'll include a few links as proof:

Sample Post
Kenuichio Harada, the Silver Samurai walked past the American horde. People eager to take a picture of the Japanese Prime Minister. Men in black suits protected Japan's leading political figure. It was an honor for Harada to have been given the symbollic duty of overseeing the protection of the important man during his visit to the USA. It was a symbollic affiliation, a sign of trust in the Yashida and it underlined the 'official' recognition of Big Hero 6. Clad in his silver armor with the red sun on the chest, Harada seemed a nationalistic symbol like Captain America or Captain Brittain. And he had become so in a minor way.
The diplomatic immunity amused him as he had enemies here who would be fuming over his seeming rehabilitation and turn to the superhero trade.
His silverclad hand rested on the grip of the ancestral Yashida Clansword.
His eyes moved attentively over the masses but found no threat.
Led into the large building, he was overwhelmed by the visual stimuli. Americans really did love throwing a party. It was he had to admit a beautiful hall and well lit. Everywhere he identified prominent politicians, bussinessmen and even a few 'supers'.
Waiters and more appealing to him waitresses walked around with plates filled with trivial little 'nicknacks' and classy champaign. The elitary excess and atmosphere both appealed and conflicted with his values. As the American way of dealing with things was not his. He took a glass and followed the Prime Minister as he went to greet the President of the United States.
The Silver Samurai bowed politely then shook the man's hand. He didn't not interfere in the chitchat between the two powerful men. Instead he found himself dismissed for now. The statement regarding the Japanese Superheroes made and American security fully taking over. He was now free to roam the room.
The lighting causing a magnificent effect when in contact with the now glimmering silver armor, mask and helmet.
As a businessman and cloak and dagger man of power, there would be opportunity here allbeit vaguely for his own agenda's.
Still there might be some interesting people to be found here besides the decadent and weakminded... .
