Kenshin, full name Ono Taka (or, in Western naming order, Taka Ono) is a Whateley Academy Generation 2 character created by MageOhki, of the Class of 2020, and rooming in Twain Cottage.
- A boy. A sword. An ancient code of warrior ethics. Still not complicated enough? Add in a mutation and problems with the local government. Then send him to Whateley, so the Japanese government can let them worry about Kenshin for a while.[1]
Hikaru Myoujin is his minder, or something similar.
- the entire government of Japan seemed to consider him a burden after he'd manifested and found out that he had a unique talent for rapidly acquiring martial arts and weapons skills. That had led him to wander the area as a hero for hire, a solitary throwback to heroes of a bygone era. But when he'd crossed one of the Yakuza gangs and the police in Tokyo, the government intervened. He'd been given a choice - leave Japan and attend this Whateley Academy or be thrown so deep in a prison that he might as well be part of the foundation.[2]
Taka has a habit of compiling notes of observations on the physical quirks of people he knows. He might even consider some friends, but they are far stranger than they first appeared.[3]
Physical Description[]
- The boy was a completely different story. Also around fifteen or sixteen, his steel-blue cargo pants were decidedly casual, and his cream-colored poet shirt with laces instead of buttons and full sleeves that seemed a bit medieval, and tai-chi slippers made him look like a flamboyant tourist or a male model. Or gay. Considering the bemused and upset stares he was receiving, it was probably a combination of all of those, in that he looked quite 'pretty' in a strangely bisexual way that was definitely catching the eye of many a girl and woman who walked past. The loose leather jacket he carried over his shoulder in the style of an American movie star added a bit of masculinity to his appearance, and the loose-fitting outfit didn't really disguise that he was well-built like Bruce Lee, and not some muscle-bound weightlifter. He looked sleek and very fit, and that didn't diminish his sex appeal in the slightest.[2]
