Appearance: Seems unaware/careless; appears to be lacking sleep. Has a slim build. Well-dressed.
Bio: His father was apparently a skilled samurai who died or disappeared on the battlefield. Zantetsken was raised by his uncle, Danno, who was a successful merchant. However, Zantetsken was more interested in the way of the sword. He couldn't afford lessons, so he had no choice but to become a merchant as Danno wished. Throughout the years, Zantetsken also became a successful merchant, and he started taking lessons in using katanas. Like his father, he had some natural skill and potential that his peers did not have.
He runs a general clothing shop where he sells imported goods, but he sometimes travels, generally trying to help people in need. However, Zantetsken avoids getting too involved with other peoples' affairs.
Wealth: Generally carries enough gold/ryo to be able to afford an average to good lifestyle. Keeps the majority of his wealth invested to accumulate more wealth.
Techniques:
High Jump - Ability to jump as high as 10 feet.
Two Swords Style - Uses both of his katanas (one in each hand); can also use a kunai in place of a second katana (less effective). Zantetsken is less precise when using two swords, and only does so when facing multiple enemies.
Cut: Steel - A two handed katana skill that requires deep focus; allows Zantetsken to cut through steel.
Spells:
Burning Summer - Adds a fire element to Zantetsken's blade. Only compatible with "Natsu" katana.
Weapons:
"Koutetsu" katana (primary weapon) - A razor sharp katana. Zantetsken is most accurate and powerful when using this alone.
"Natsu" katana (secondary weapon) - Zantetsken's first katana; only uses with his 'Two Swords Style'.
Kunai - A backup weapon that is only used when Zantetsken is using his 'Two Swords Style' and is separated from one of his katanas.
Hidden knife - An absolute backup weapon; usually only used for last resort surprise attacks.
