My name is Kage Nanashi. I was born and raised in a village once known as Samnaari, a small section of land home to a military faction of Hunters that operate not far from Durem. I suppose if the demonic assault didn't level our home, the recent industrialization would have. Anyway, we aren't "ninjas" or "mercenaries", though oddly enough we were founded centuries ago by a group of men and women who were rejected from various ninja clans and societies. We are...were...outcasts who decided to unify our might and respect for the ways of justice and of the sword as best we could. We never had any teaching, we only had a will to enhance our ability, and a legend for those with greater will. We had a leader as well...my father Kage Oshizu. He was a strong man with strong discipline and principle. He made himself noticed through his almost unnatural innate skills of combat and went on to make himself leader through a process of introducing a system of military order to our village. Everyone of importance maintained the title "Kage" ((pronounced 'KAH-GEH')) and when I was born my name was changed to "Nanashi" (('without name')) for reasons I am still unsure of. My father wanted me to be separate and held me above the rest of the Hunters. Kage Oshizu did not have children...so he raised an army of legacy Hunters through adoption. My.."brothers" are all skilled and will inherit portions of father's greatness. I was probably the closest thing to a prince though...something about me made me the strongest... I have no idea what or why...
