I would like to join. Here the concept I want to play. A teleporter kendo martial artist. I had submitted that character for joining MutantHigh, but as this game is sleeping for now, and I liked the concept. I have done some tweeking. The hooks are pretty much obvious. Patrick Kidnapping is one. Now, you can make fun with his old Sanji's master or with Mrs Jefferson (mutant or crazy?).

A young boy is in Son-kyo, his shinai on his legs, his eyes closed. He is in a dojo with walls made of rice paper. The walls are painted with oriental design, mainly scene of nature of Japan. A man is standing behind the boy and look at him silently. No one move for over 15 minutes. The silence is broken by the men, who whisper:
"Now, we will see if you have been able to focus yourself."
The man put a headband over the eyes of the young boy. He then take a shinai on the wall, and place himself in Jodan-no-kamae. The young boy, at that moment, stand up and place himself in Hasso-no-kamae. It takes more than two minutes before the man start to move, but each strike made by the man is blocked by the young boy. The boy doesn't seem to try to replicate at the attack, he simply try to protect himself. The fight goes like that for ten minutes, the two figthers turning around the room, the young boy blocking every blow he receives. Suddendly, at no apparent reason, he strike at the right legs. The man try to block, but to slow, he only deviate the strike on his feet. The two figther move away from one another and go in Son-kyo.
The young boy remove the headband and looks at his master. The master smile.

Two years later, the young boy is in middle of Seattle. He is with a friend of him in te middle of a mall.
"How goes the school, Sanji?"
"Not bad Patrick. I need to study a bit harder if I want to enter medecine, which mean I may have to cut the Kendo but it would be just too hard."
"You should have come with me in electronics. It is easy, you would have a lot more time than trying to enter medecine, and the departement is next to the nursery departement. You should take a look at them, they are so lovely."
"I have no time or interest for the girls for now... and when I'll have, I'll be working with the same girl you are looking at."
"Yeah, you will have thirty and they will all have a man in their lives. It won't hurt you to stop studying and practicing kendo for one night and come with me. I know a club where we can go without the bouncer kicking us out because we are too young. Come on."
"No thanks, I have two exams next week, I need to study. I want to become doctor, but I need to work three more time than anyone else. My chance to enter are pretty low, but they are there. But I must not let my discipline down."
"Yeah, yeah, Kendo stuff! Let's take a look at that electronic shop before the movie start."

Sanji is in Los Angeles, walking in the dark street, late at night. He doesn't take care of people around him, he only want to come back to his hotel. He have stayed too long at that girl house. She is pretty cute, but she is finally too immature for his age, and Sanji doesn't like that, and he finally got a reason to leave. He spot someone following him. He continue to walk as if he adn't seen it. He cut by a park to cut 5 minutes of walk, but it is there where two other guy intercept him.
"What are you doing here, chinese! You're not welcome."
"I am american, and my father is from Japan, not China."
"China, Japan, it is the same. You are not welcome, so if you want to go safely, you will give us what you hold in your pocket."
"I have nothing" and Sanji show his empty pocket, except his hotel key.
"In that case, we will have to make you pay another way..."
One move foward and try to hit him, but Sanji dodge easily the blow. Blow after blow, Sanji dodge everything, without tryin to replicate, but the other one, and the first guy who was following him start to surround him.
"The mice is trapped!" say one of the guys with a big smile.
Sanji close his eyes and start to listen, hearing every move around him. He doesn't like the situation and would prefer to be at his hotel room. For a moment, he sees his hotel room clearly in his head. The sound seems different suddendly. He open his eyes, and see the bed of his hotel room in front of him. The parc and the guys have dissapeared, and Sanji is standing in his hotel room...
-------
Sanji is with Patrick, in Patrick's house. In the basement, Patrick has build a small shop where he create some stuff for fun.
"Your inventions are marvelous, Patrick. You have some kind of talent for all those gadget. Have you taught to find a job at AstroLab."
"AstroLab? You must be kidding. What the use of a super-brain if all the money and prestige goes to some boss. Nah, I prefer that small lab. But my brain is nothing compare to your powers. That's marvelous. I should try to create something similar to it. I'll need to see how you do your tricks."
"No way! I have used it twice only, once by accident, and once to see what I could do. It is pretty impressive, and that's exactly why I won't use it. I want to become a doctor, not a member of the Justice League."
"What? You must be kidding! Well, I have done a small token for you." Patrick give a Shinai to Sanji "You see that switch. you have three postion. Off, low and High. You see on this bamboo, the little metal lamel. The switch control the intensity of the electric field generated by the Shinai. At high, you may put someone unconcious, and at low, you won't do worst than stunning him. A pretty good defensive weapon, and no chance to kill anyone."
"I won't ever use it, or even need it. I study medecin. I didn't touch a Shinai for more than a year, and I don't plan to practice or fight before very long."
"You never know. Keep it please. For me."
"Ok..."

Sanji is working at the hospital. Being only in first year of medecine doesn't allow him to do anything really exciting. He wash people who can't do it by themselves, help them walk to the bathroom, distribute food, but at least, it allow him to take a look at the universe who will become his soon. He has only one thing left before he can take a lunch break.
"Hi, Mrs. Jefferson"
"Hi, good boy. How are you."
"Fine. Have pass a good night?"
"No, not tonight. They have come back."
"Have you talk to the doctor?"
"No. And I don't want to. He will think I am a crazy old women."
"You are not."
"I am not sure myself. Those voice are obscure and hard to understand. They are creepy to hear. At my house, I was hearing my dear lost husband. I taught it was just because I was so sad, but now I am thinking I can hear the deads speech. It is not easy to support."
"That's why you should speak with the doctor. Here, let me help you, we'll walk to the bathroom. After that, I'll give you your dinner, and you should take some sleep this afternoon."
"Thanks, boy. Yeah, sleeping this afternoon is a good idea. The voice are more quiet at day. Do you think I am crazy?"
"No, Mrs Jefferson. You know, everything is possible. Maybe you have a gift, like some many people."
"Well, I don't want it, I just want to have a quiet life until I join them. So, please, keep that for you."
"No problem, I'll keep that for me. Here. Let me make your bed more confortable. Good day Mrs Jefferson. See you tommorow."
"Thanks, and see you tomorrow."

Sanji is reading the newspaper, searching for any news about Patrick. Patrick has been kidnapped. Some goons have been seen around his house yesterday. They have come, turn the house upside down, taken everyting that Patrick have invented and took Patrick away. What Patrick has done? Sanji never knew how Patrick got his money, and Patrick wasn't really the most cautious guy he knew. He must have put himself into something bad. Nothing... Who would care about him when the Justice League just save the world... again! Well, he couldn't do much for now, except to study for his exams of first year of medecine.
Anyway, I am back on the boards and I would be interested in joining your game.
