Username: 13_inferno
Name: Shiryou
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: Shiryou is 5'11½” tall, but, due to his posture, he is very seldom seen at his maximum height. He has a compact body type, as his occupation wouldn't allow him to have large muscle mass, but he still has plenty of muscle and is quite physically adept. His body is literally covered in scars, twisted, and sometimes there is so much scar tissue that no normal skin is visible, although rather notably his face is completely untouched. Bits and pieces of various tattoos can be seen spattered across his body, the initial ink-work wiped away by the massive scarring on his body. The only moderately-whole tattoo visible is on his left bicep, barely distinguishable as being the G-Corp logo.
The visible skin is a pale white, and his eyes are a pale pink tone, showing that he is an albino. His hair, however, for some unexplainable reason is the dark red of fresh blood. His hair is straight, the length uneven but generally reaching to about his shoulders, and it is always silky to the touch, as if it's permanently conditioned.
A skin-tight, black sleeveless shirt and moderately-tight black pants, and a pair of rubber-soled black leather boots. There are diminutive holes in the soles of both boots, put there by design. The entire outfit has been designed to minimize accidental noise, and as such if he wants to Shiryou can move almost completely silently. As well, he has a belt looped across his torso, similar to a bullet-belt, lined with many pockets.
To note, in direct contrast with just about everything else about Shiryou, physically, his fingernails are in absolutely impeccable condition. Protruding about a centimeter from the tip of his finger, they aren't pointed but the edge is rather sharp.

History: He was born in a small town about 4 miles southeast of Aekea, but the details of his birth are far from happy. A natural ability unique to him, acquired through amazing chance, went berserk two weeks before he was due, killing his mother and leaving him premature, but still alive. The townspeople, not wanting anything to do with a child such as this, abandoned him a good distance from the town, leaving him there to die. However, amazingly he was kept alive by the same uncontrolled abilities that had killed his mother.
Until about age 12, his powers still completely out of control, he remained in the wilderness and learned to fend for himself, slowly gaining control over his natural abilities. At the young age of 12, he wandered into Gambino, and he was immediately recruited by G-Corp, and he received shelter and food in return for doing grunt work. Over the next two years, he also learned English, beyond the little he had already been taught so that he could receive orders. At the age of 14, he named himself and left, wandering once again into the world.
Shortly after that, he inadvertently got himself recruited, once again, this time into an assassin group. This series of events was rather interesting, actually. Within a very short period of time, he discovered, and blew the cover of one of the group's assassins, who proceeded to attempt to terminate the boy. However, he hadn't though Shiryou anything more than a normal human child, so his abilities, which he as-yet hadn't mastered, made short work of the agressor. Needless to say, he wasn't sure exactly what he'd done, but he'd impressed the heads of the group. Two days later, he was “recruited,” and spent the next 7 years in the employ of <Assassin Group Name>.
Eventually, he grew tired of being forced to work for <Assassin Group Name>, he got out the only way he really knew how. With very few survivors, he slaughtered them, using a combination of his natural abilities and the ninjutsu he'd been taught. His freedom now earned, he decided to choose a job of his own, and returned and spoke directly to Johnny K. Gambino, demanding a proper job in G-Corp. This earned him a job working in the R&D department. After about a year of service, he was promoted to working in the R&D labs that weren't known to the public, in both instances working in the Weapons Development wing. Over the course of his employment, he learned how to construct grenades and other explosive arms, assemble firearms of many types, custom-make bullets, and de-activate bombs. He left after the hidden R&D labs, and G-Corp in general was destroyed in the Zombie incident, where he himself participated in the melee, slaughtering hundreds of zombies until he passed out, regaining consciousness shortly before the Silent Flash, managing to escape with his life, just barely.
Left without a job, he fell back into working as an assassin, though this time he was solo, and his abilities were sold out to the highest bidder. Over this time, he gained the nickname of the “Blood Ninja” and his reputation grew, striking fear into anyone who had a reason to fear him. He has continued up till present day in this line of work.

Abilities:
Blood Type Z: A blood type unique to Shiryou, which can inherently alter the molecular structure of other material on contact, creating more blood.

Blood Manipulation: He has the ability to manipulate his blood completely. He can alter it's form, changing it between liquid, gas and solid forms easily, control it when not in contact, harden it to the strength of titanium. He can alter the makeup of any molecule to match his blood, though the time it takes varies. Gases are assimilated almost instantly, liquids take a moderate amount of time, and solids take a great deal of time. As well, he can oxygenate his blood without the use of his lungs if it becomes absolutely neccesary, as long as there is oxygen in the surrounding air. He also has snail's pace regeneration of wounds through the use of his blood, and he can temporarily replace lost organs using it.

Weaponry Knowledge: He can dis-assemble and assemble firearms of many sorts, create bullets for most guns, construct grenades and other explosives, as well as deactivate most modern explosives.

Ninjutsu: He can utilize different aspects of the environment to hide himself, and move stealthily due to his training. As well, he has a working knowledge of the human body, knowing where key points are as well as pressure points, and he is more than capable of striking them. His training also encompassed hand-to-hand combat, the use of thrown projectile weapons, and the use of various tools to scale walls.

Equipment:
Rucksack: Self-explanatory. Contains a long-range rifle as well as a scope, and a large supply of specially-crafted bullets, each containing a drop of his blood.

Sniper Rifle: A multi-operational rifle, designed both for clip-based ammunition and bolt-action loading, it has an effective range of roughly 1300m. The custom-made ammunition Shiryou makes for it is designed to pierce moderate-strength body armor.

Throwing Knives: Well-balanced throwing knives, capable of punching through some of the lighter armors if thrown hard enough.

Double-Ended Needles: Also weighted for throwing, these needles have points at both ends. They are far easier to repel than the throwing knives, however, but they are harder to keep track of and easier to throw, making them the faster projectile weapon.

Grenades: Military grade frag, flashbang, incendiary and EMP grenades.
