HISTORY
From a young age, Shin trained rigorously in the ways of the sword, alongside his father. Shin's father learned from his father, who learned from his father and so on. He learned the code of the samurai, a well as the importance of defending as many lives as possible while taking as few as possible. He noticed in the fifth grade that his math grades were far higher than any of his other grades. In middle school, he was on the kendo club for the first year. However, in the second year of middle school, he unexpectedly quit. The day he quit, was the day following the accident that took the lives of both his parents. Ever since that day, Shin has been emotionally distant towards everyone he's met. That's not to say that he's been rude to others. Quite the opposite. He's just never let anyone get too close to him since the accident. Shortly after the accident, he noticed that whenever he would get mad, stuff around him would start to burn. Eventually he learned to control the fires, and is able to more accurately direct the burns. Another thing that happened after the accident, he received a mysterious letter in the mail. It said that when he was ready, he would be welcomed at a school full of other students that, like him, could manipulate the elements. So, after he completed middle school, he found the letter, and made hi way to the address listed on it. Getting there was easy enough, with the fare provided by the school, but when he arrived, he found that his english was somewhat lacking.

RP SAMPLEA scream of pain and loss. The faint sunlight peeking through the shades of his bedroom window. Sitting up rather quickly, covered with sweat from head to toe. These types of mornings were quite comon for Shin. He went through his rather familiar morning routine, and got himself dressed for school, as he did every day. Yet, something stopped him from leaving his home. A look of deep frustration appeared on his face before he through a powerful punch at a nearby wall, scorching the surface of it upon impact. "Why.....why won't these images leave my head?" Eventually he pieced himself back together, but this question still weighed heavily on his mind. It was the 1000th time that he had woken up from this same nightmare. It always started at the exact same point, and it always ended exactly the same. After he fell asleep, he would find himself running, chasing after his parents. Then, somehow, he would be at the scene of the crash, watching as his parents lifeless bodies had to be cut away from the car, which had been crushed beyond belief. Why him? Why his parents? These were some of the other questions he had asked after waking up from this same sequence of memories, yet still, he received no answer. And sadly, he likely never will.
