History:
Raiga was born the second son of a fairly wealthy family, a family that had garnered their wealth and reputation through brutal but fair training for young men who wished to become samurai. However, their style was prominently based on defensive manuevers, their samurai often being the last on a battlefield because their enemies simply could not break through their defenses. Raiga had grown up in the shadow of his older brother, Kojiro, and because his brother also exemplified this defensive technique, Raiga became more and more aggressive in his fighting style until it was apparent he'd bastardized his family's technique for his own gains.
His parents did not take to it kindly, accusing him of trying to bring shame upon the family, and as such, relocated Raiga to the lord that presided over their lands under the guise of giving yet another samurai for added protection. For a far reduced price than normal, of course. Raiga was unlike the other samurai, who lived by their codes and would often forgo their own wants in order to appease their lord. However, the lord was interested in the young togekiss, finding his assertive, violent style and attitude as something akin to a demon from legend. He kept the young man as somewhat of a trophy, claiming that his armies were made up of fearsome men that neither knew fear nor retreat.
But Raiga wasn't the only proclaimed demon in the ranks of the lords' armies, the lord himself was often touted as a fearsome warrior himself, a hedonistic man who knew nothing of restraint when he wanted something. And that something eventually ended up being the first daughter of another lord who had visited to try and make up for years of tension beforehand. There was merriment and celebration as the lord's first son was set to marry the young woman, however, once the lights were blown out and the celebration had ended, the lord was found in the young woman's guest room, trying to take something that was not his to behold. The lord, for his infraction, was compelled to commit seppuku for the grave insult when in the hospitality of the other lord.
After his lord had been relieved of his pride as well as his head, Raiga and all of the lord's other retainers had found themselves ronin, masterless samurai with no consistent income. Raiga knew he had no home to return to, his father had passed on by then and his brother, the new head of the household, would not allow Raiga to be near his children due to fear of the younger togekiss' unstable behavior. So Raiga wandered, travelling the countryside and working odd jobs, indulging when he could and otherwise simply living just how he wanted to: by his own terms.
Eventually, however, he stumbled upon a small village, newly made and in need of guards to protect the lands. Raiga was no team-player, but as always, it was in his interest to work for a place that needed samurai and would pay to keep them around. To this day he still dreams of returning to his homelands to take back his family's household for his own, but time will only tell if Windfall can hold his interests enough, and whether that bodes well for the village or not.

Roleplay Information:
- Methods! -
Skype (preferred if i know you), Google Docs (preferred for non-mutuals/people i don't know well), Notes, Chatroom (rarely)
- Style! -
- Most of the time I'll rp lit/para style, if not then I will at least try to match length of the replies people give me. -
- I'll usually only use script style rp for stuff that's more laid-back. Think more slice of life rather than a full-blown storyline. -
Additional Information:
- What a huge asshole this guy is.
- Seriously, he's a freak.
- Has a ridiculously large appetite, is always snacking on something.
- Finds it really fun or satisfying to tease/infuriate the hell out of people.
- Doesn't like to be uncovered, prefers lots of layers of clothing.
- If he finds someone he likes (in his own special way) then he'll basically never leave them alone and make sure they're never hurt by anyone else.
- The above is not a good thing.
