Well friends and enemies it seems I'm back again. So I thought I'd post a little information about myself.

As some of you know I was not born in RhyDin. I was born in an alternate realm on the Earth. A different Earth than some people are from. My clan, the Ringo Ryu Ninja, habited the largest island of Japan. I grew up training in the 18 different arts of my ryu(school), however I craved more. I traveled around the island to meet Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest samurai swordsman in Japan. Disguised as samurai I became a student of his and learned
the basics of sword play and attained ichidan (black belt) rank. I then moved on to the mainland country of China to train with the monks of the Small Tree Forest Temple (Shaolin Monks) in thier way of combat. After a year there I returned to Japan. My village was in a panic. An army of the Shogun's samurai had been ordered to burn our village to the ground. I fought off as many as I could but to no avail. The Jonin (Master) ordered us to
escape while we could. I was the only one who survived the massacre. I traveled to a small mountian temple, where they had a mysterious doorway leading to a strange void. Thinking I might find answers there I soon found (after stepping through the doorway), that it was a passage to RhyDin. I soon came to the Red Dragon Inn and heard of the Arena. I met many people there Duke Adonai Uziel, Gnort, Dal, and others (I doubt you remember me, It's ok.
= ) ) this was around the time when Athlstan was Overlord. (I forget if which reign of his was it) I then left the Duel of Swords to travel and learn the ways of RhyDin. Now I have returned with my newly fordged sword "Kiaido" and a new respect for the DoS. To my friends and enemies and people who are still strangers. I am AppleNinja last of the Ringo(Apple) Ryu Ninja, Hello.
