Current Characters: Aqua, Kendrix Morgan, Ren Akiyama, Miharu Minato, Masato Jin
Character: Kenshin Himura
Fandom: Rurouni Kenshin
History: This version of Kenshin comes from the live action movie series. At the time of this app, the second movie is in production, and a third is on the way, so this only pertains to the first movie. He will update through the movies as they become available.
The last years of the Tokugawa Shogunate were a turbulent time. With Japan's doors forcibly opened to the Western world for the first time in centuries, new ideas and discontent were blossoming and stirring in Japan. War broke out between those loyal to the Shogunate and those who wanted to restore the Emperor to his traditional power. This war came to be known as the Meiji Restoration. At the age of about 14-15, Kenshin, an amazingly skilled young swordsman, was approached to become an assassin for the Emperor's men, the Isshin-shishi. He was idealistic enough to agree, believing he was ushering in a brand new era free from the darkness of the past. He became known as Hitokiri Battousai. But he began to second-guess his actions, particularly when he assassinated a young man who was on his way to his wedding. The man continued to rise to fight him, insisting he had something to live for, but Kenshin cut him down—not before the man had cut a deep scar into his cheek. The next day, Kenshin witnessed the man's bride weeping over his body, feeling guilty over the whole affair. She would later cut another scar into his cheek.
The end of the war finally came with the Battle of Toba-Fushimi. Kenshin cut down many men, and they received word that the Emperor's forces had won. Shinsengumi Captain Hajime Saitou wasn't ready to let their grudge end, despite now being considered a rebel, and he reminded the weary and disillusioned Kenshin that no matter what happened, the two of them would die by the sword. But Kenshin abandoned his sword and left, determined to find a new path, no matter how long he'd have to wander and how many people he'd have to save.
Ten years later, Kenshin, now a wanderer (or "rurouni"), came to Tokyo, where he discovered another assassin was using the name Battousai and destroying the reputation of the Kamiya Kasshin dojo. Its teacher, Kaoru Kamiya, challenged Kenshin, believing he might be the Battousai because he was brazen enough to wear a sword despite an edict banning them in public, but he showed her that it was a sakabatou—a sword with the blade on the wrong side—and couldn't hurt anybody, and he won her trust. When Kaoru ran into the real assassin, Jin'e Udo, he ran to her rescue and got her out of there before the police arrived. Kenshin stayed at Kaoru's dojo for the night and planned to leave by morning, but a group of thugs hired by Kanryu Takeda, an opium dealer, tried to scare her into giving up her land. Kenshin proceeded to hand the guys their asses with hand-to-hand combat and the wooden practice swords before having to pull his sakabatou, and he turned himself into the police to keep Kaoru and her student, Yahiko, out of trouble. But Saitou, now a police officer using the name Goro Fujita, recognized him and had him meet with the army general, Yamagata, an old war friend of Kenshin's. They told him of Kanryu's drug dealing and how his fake Battousai, Jin'e, was killing their officers, and they asked for his help. But Kenshin refused to kill again, disgusting Saitou. Kenshin was eventually released, where Kaoru agreed to let him stay as long as he wanted, despite knowing he was the real Battousai. When they returned to the dojo, they discovered that Yahiko had found a young woman named Megumi Takani and had invited her to stay when she was apparently running for her life. Kenshin also met Sanosuke Sagara, a brawler who'd been in jail with him and challenged him to a fight to try to get hired by Kanryu, but Kenshin managed to get him to see that Kanryu wasn't someone he'd want to work for.
The way the group continued to get on Kanryu's nerves came back to haunt them when he had his men poison the wells in the neighborhood. Megumi recognized the symptoms of poisoning and worked fast to save everyone, revealing that she was the last living member of the Takani family of doctors. Kenshin got her to confess that she was the one who'd been making opium for Kanryu out of a need to survive, and he'd hurt anyone to bring her back. She left to give herself up to Kanryu and try to kill him, and Kenshin and Sanosuke went to rescue her. Together, they took out his samurai and assassins, and with Saitou's help, they defeated and arrested him. But when they rescued Megumi, she revealed that Jin'e had left during the chaos to attack Kaoru. Kenshin found them, but Jin'e used a technique on her that halted her breathing. The only way that she would survive would be if Jin'e voluntarily counteracted it or if Kenshin managed to kill him. Forsaking his vow not to kill, Kenshin allowed himself to become the Battousai again and very nearly finished him off, but Kaoru broke through and managed to scream at him to stop. Shamed, he turned away, even as Jin'e urged him to finish it. Kenshin told him to give up, since he'd badly injured the assassin's sword arm, but Jin'e killed himself instead, determined to die like the crazy fuck he was. With his last breath, Jin'e warned him that no matter how much he played at being a rurouni, Kenshin would never be able to erase the fact that he was an assassin. Saitou tried to remind him that it would be painful to himself and his loved ones if he continued trying to bring about justice without killing, but Kenshin insisted he was determined to break the cycle of malice that killing created. Though both Saitou and Kaoru expected him to begin another journey, Kenshin decided to stay at the Kamiya Kasshin dojo, finally finding a place that felt like home.
There are still two movies to go that are beginning production, taking the action to Kyoto to deal with another assassin, Makoto Shishio. Those movies will be brought in as soon as they are available.
Personality: For the most part, Kenshin is a bit of a pacifist. He has a strong sense of justice, but an equally strong aversion to killing. He will fight if he has to protect someone, but he's careful never to kill them. Because of his experiences in the war, he gravitates toward idealistic philosophies. He takes to Kaoru because she preaches of protecting people with a sword rather than killing people with one. Deep down, he knows that his skills—that his very existence—are meant to kill people, he'd rather try to believe in the ideal of protecting people. So he helps people to try to erase that past.
Unless you really pissed him off, you'd never know that Kenshin was famed as a heartless assassin. He's sweet. He's clumsy. He's self-effacing and polite. He's a good cook. He uses extremely humble speech, and he flails around when flustered. He sometimes comes off as completely clueless. But there's an undeniable sense of honor about him—he won't sell his skills like other samurai have done. He would prefer not to bring trouble to people, particularly if he has to show off his fighting skills. He's VERY adamant on the "not killing again" thing. And he'll protect the people he cares about to the point of breaking his vow if needed. He gets serious quickly when the situation calls for it, to the point where you start to wonder if maybe the whole cute-and-clumsy thing is an act. How could a guy who can move so fast and jump so high be falling on his butt? Is he being an idiot when he's ducking and dodging a woman trying to hit him with a wooden sword, or is he using his old skills? And it is damn scary when he does let his old Battousai self show. When he's in that mindset, he's cold and calculating and slightly arrogant. It's understandable why he doesn't ever want to be like that again. But when he calms down, when he's able to put the past aside, he gives a sweet smile, and you know everything's going to be all right, because that's the kind of person he is.
Other: Kenshin uses very humble speech that is difficult to replicate in English, so I'll make do with him not using contractions. It changes drastically when he gets mad enough to be in Battousai mode—his tone is cold and his language is harsher and more aggressive (for example, his personal pronoun is normally a very humble "sessha," but it's a more assertive and aggressive "ore" when he was the Battousai and when he lapses back into his old ways).

First Person:
1. You just caught your best friend making out with the senpai you really want to notice you! What's your response?
I suppose I would be happy for them. Even if I would have liked my feelings returned, if I truly care about this person, then I would respect that someone else is able to make them happy far better than I could.
2. Summer and winter are the most popular seasons, but what about spring and autumn? Which do you prefer and what is your favorite activity to do during that season?
Autumn is a beautiful time of year with all of the colors of the leaves. Since I began wandering, I have enjoyed visiting the different autumn festivals across the country, and children's enthusiasm during Shichi-Go-San especially is easy to share.
3. You're faced with a crisis of faith. What pulls you back to solidify your beliefs and find strength in them again?
I have experienced that much across the last fourteen years. When I first became an assassin, I believed that my actions were necessary in order to create a new era of peace. But though I realized that I was killing the very young men who would have helped shape this new era, I continued as I had done, and that was a mistake. It was not until the Emperor won in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi that I allowed myself to stop. It is wrong to bring about peace through bloodshed. Wandering was the only way I could try to undo what I had done.
But now I do not believe I will have to wander to find my ideals once more. They are embodied in my new friends, and they will do everything within their power to remind me of that. For the first time in many years, I have a home to return to.
4. Do you have any dreams or ambitions? How do you intend to achieve them?
I am not sure if it could be called a dream or an ambition, but I would like to continue to bring peace and justice into this world. Kaoru-dono believes that a sword can be used to give life and protect people, and though it has been my experience that a sword can only bring pain and death, I would like to try to make her dream a reality. I will do this by holding to my vow never to kill and to continue using this sword with a reverse blade.
5. You're at the scene of a robbery, but you manage to get the upper hand; you're holding the gun. The robber is at your mercy. What do you do?
I would not kill him. I may injure him so that he cannot harm others, though I would try to do so with my sword rather than a gun. While I have full faith that a doctor of Megumi-dono's caliber could help heal a bullet wound, I do not think the police would be so willing to find such a doctor. Better, then, that any injuries prevent him from committing another crime like this again than for him to die without the chance to improve his life.
6. How do you normally dress? Why do you dress that way?
After my own clothes were damaged in a fight, Kaoru-dono gave me her father's old kimono. While the color is much bolder than I would normally wear, I treasure it because I know how hard it must have been to part with something that had belonged to someone she loved and respected so much.
7. What would you like to be remembered for after your death?
I know that I will always be remembered as the assassin Battousai, but I would like to be remembered instead as a man who brought justice into a new era without having to kill.
8. Do you have any strong memories that have stuck with you from your childhood? Why are they so powerful and lasting?
My childhood was spent in years of war. I joined the Isshin-shishi when I was fifteen. There are two events that I remember most during that time. The first was when I killed a young samurai on his wedding day and when I saw his bride crying over his body. He left a scar on my cheek. The second was when she left me the other scar. These scars will ensure I can never forget—every time I see my reflection, I will remember what I did. That reminds me never to become the Battousai again.
9. If you were to die right now, what would you have to say about your life? What have you achieved? Would you be content?
I do not think I would be entirely content, with all I have done in the past. But I have tried to repent for my sins, and I have friends who have made a great difference in my life. Perhaps that would be enough to put me at peace.
10. If you had the chance to change any one thing about yourself, would you take it? What would you change?
I do not think that I would. While I deeply regret my past sins, I would not want to try to erase those scars. They remind me why I must take value people's lives and ensuring a peaceful new era for everyone. If anything, I would prefer to bring back the people I killed so that they can live in the world that they died to create.
Third Person:
It had been ten years since Kenshin had last been in Kyoto, and then, he'd been fighting as the Battousai. He had been feared and hated. Now, he was indistinguishable from any other visitor.
"It is strange to be just a visitor," he murmured, bowing slightly to a passing mother. It was nice, however, to forget his past for a little while.
One of the woman's children had a toy windmill he must have just bought. Kenshin smiled as he watched the boy play, but the next thing he knew, a wild monkey dropped off of a roof right in front of them.
"Oro?" he asked. He started to move, but it was too late—the monkey had leapt over and snatched the toy out of the child's hand.
Kenshin moved over toward the boy, asking, "Are you all right?" but the child was crying. Any attempts of his mother's to soothe him fell on deaf ears, so Kenshin promised, "I will see if I can get it back for you."
And he wasted no time dashing off in pursuit of the monkey, running at speeds that made several passersby stare in disbelief. He tracked the monkey as it leapt across rooftops—he might have to follow it up there soon, but he would have to be careful about it, or the monkey would just try another escape route. But soon enough, the monkey seemed to think it was safe from the silly human chasing it on the ground—and then Kenshin made a spectacular jump off of a hay cart and came to a landing right on top of the creature.
"Justice does not apply only to humans," he said, picking the animal up and holding it still. "Even animals must follow it."
The monkey was squirming still, but he managed to get the toy out of its hands.
"But I do not believe you meant to harm anyone," he replied, setting the monkey down. He reached into his kimono and took out a peach—something he'd quickly bought just before the debacle started. "I hope that you learn your lesson."
The monkey snatched the peach and took off. Kenshin smiled after it and started making his way back. When he saw the child sniffling behind his mother as they walked home, he leapt from the roof and presented the windmill to him.
"I believe you lost this."
