Inspired by JS' Western character and the Luis Bacalov tracks on the
Kill Bill soundtracks (the origin of O-Ren bit)...statted as a
starting character, tho I really should give him some more points...

Name: Nameless of the East
Caste: Journeys
Concept: Bounty Hunter/Demon Hunter
Nature: Survivor
Allegiance: Independent (formerly Gold)
History: The Sidereal who is now known as the Nameless of the East by
those few who know of his existence, was once part of a Sidereal
Circle dedicated to containing Malfeas' taint on Creation as much as
possible. And they were very successful, until they ran afoul of
Kallutica, of the Third Circle...

Kallutica's lures and traps destroyed the Circle from within, until
only two remained. As lovers, their bond was the strongest, and the
demon took especial care and pleasure in corrupting it. Once both were
helpless before it, it offered Shade Moss the choice of watching her
mate slowly and painfully devoured before her eyes, or surrendering
her very self to its ministrations. Vainly hoping to spare her love,
she willingly accepted the Investiture of Infernal Glory, becoming
Jade Frost, Scourge of the East.

As good as it's word, Kallutica released its prisoner, but not before
using a Memory Sponge Charm upon him, placing his stolen life inside
of a necklace of Remembrance Opals it bestowed upon Jade Frost. When
he failed to report to his superiors, they assumed he was destroyed
along with the rest of his Circle, tho his old Sifu suspects
otherwise...

Now, Nameless wanders the Scavenger Lands, his only companions a
Marukani warhorse he won in a bet, and the regulars of a tavern in the
Guild Border Station town where he accepts assignments to collect
bounty heads. It's good work, and strangly familiar, tho often
unaccountably easy. Except where demons are involved, which seems to
be an increasing occurance. And a dark and sinister woman has been
recently been asking around about him...

Think you might've made a boo-boo with the cut and paste job.

Also, I like the character quite a bit. I'd steal him for a short
story's protagonist, easy. Or, you know, a 20-year run of any given
anime.

Doh! Damn Pattern Spider Bite!!

Looks like I also forgot to mention that, instead of a sombrero, he
wears one of those Japanese wide-brimmed travelling hats...
