The story so far:

From the age of four Katrex ha always shown remarkable hand to eye coordination, and as was custom in japan, any young child displaying talent was taken in by a master. Katrex however ended up in an extremely rough weapon school where you could be attacked by anyone at any time, come the age of seven he'd already developed his own style that made him able to fight against much stronger opponents, and at least get away. By the age of nine he was in the top five in the academy, and people often tried to surprise attack him to get his place. This all changed on his 17th birthday.
Kat had been teaching Kendo to a small class ranging from nine to fifteen years old. They were progressing well, they were all very capable learners. He had finnaly got his first payment of the month from their parents after having seen the results of only a month of training on their children. The children had all left by five thirty and kat sighed in anoyance that he wasn't able to cash in the check.

"THE DEADLINE IS UP" He heard screamed in the street "Say hi to your father in hell for us!". All Katrex saw was two holes appear in the wall before the third was lodged deep in to his brain.

---------------------

Katrex collapsed to his knees, exhausted and famished from lack of food. His head hurt slightly, he knew not why. The people here, when he told them he was hungry, all said he was delusional because he hadn't drank enough water. They were wrong.
His his hand slid along the dusty ground as he slipped with lack of strength on to his front unable to get back up. His head on his side; he simply looked down the road at the setting sun. He raised his hand weekly trying to grab the distant ball of fire, he quickly lost the energy for even that. He saw a silhouette against the light, the carried a sword, he wondered if they would help him, unlike everyone one else. All he could do is wait.

---------------------

From darkness to blurriness, katrex nearly choked as the arm that was cradling his head and the other arms hand tried to feed him some rice, as he regained his senses, he let the feminine fingers put food in to his mouth. It was not three mouthfuls later that he began feeling nauseous. He rejected the fourth bite, trying to thank the woman finding his voice was too strangled to speak. She released him from her and he fell gently to the pillows.

Katrex opened his eyes, this time however everything was clear, further more he was wearing the same uniform the doctor had been. He looked around, there were stars everywhere up and down, he was stood on a white sphere about a meter in diameter. Millions of white spheres spaced maybe every 20 meters in all directions, oh those things weren't stars after all.
Katrex saw a black angel, with raven like wings, covered in black robes face invisible under its hood, and angel of death he thought. It spoke, "The time has come Kat-chan" Katrex was surprised, The voice was feminine and eerily beautiful "The time has come for you to hold a real sword".
Kat looked at the being strangely and then down to it's feet, he had been about to argue saying he had used many real swords, but as he looked at the Double edged uncurved Katana all the other swords he had ever wielded seemed insubstantial. So instead the only words that came were, "How?"
"Sign the contract, Come to my sphere and take the sword." The figure dispersed leaving him alone though as an afterthought a voice came out of the darkness. "Conquer your fear"
Katrex quickly understood, what it meant. How the hell was he meant to jump 20 meters to the sphere over there, he would miss and fall for eternity or until he hit a sphere far down maybe killing him. He sat down to ponder for a moment. He wanted that sword, he knew not why but he did. He closed his eyes and put all his trust in the being and walked one step forward. His feet hit solid ground, he opened his eyes and found himself on the other Sphere sword in front of him. He whispered thanks to the angel and grabbed the sword.

He awoke with a start, sitting up instantly, what a dream that was. He found himself in the hospital bed. "What a weird drea--" He then notices something in his hand, it was a hilt. "Maybe not" he said picking up the sword and slowly unsheathing it, he looked upon it's beauty. Never had he seen so perfect a blade, let alone touched one. He sheathed it. Smiling.


The doctors or as he found out later the fourth division weren't too surprised when they found him with a sword and perfectly healthy, They simply sent him off to the academy.

Katrex had been pitted against many inexperienced sword users as soon as he arrived, With little effort he bested all of them, he wondered why he was with all these beginners anyway. A few oddities did happen however, Sometimes he found himself against someone unnaturally strong or fast but his skill and he sensed the power of his blade let him disarm them with relative ease. It was after about an hour of this that someone quite important looking took him aside and asked him if he really wanted to know why he was here. He felt it was a misleading question but he answered in the affirmative. He was taken to a pit with two gates in it, one of them was open. He was then pushed off the edge and landed inside. He landed and rolled instinctively and looked back up glaring. A noise came from the gate that commanded his attention. He turned to face... It.
A green skinned humanoid with long claw like fingers wearing a bone mask and with a hole in its chest, menacingly approached him. Kat decided it was better to ask questions later and drew his sword. He took a defensive stance, still unsure what action the beast would take.
The beast charged, arm raised planning to use it's hand to pierce him, waited but a moment before rolling forward and across, surprising the beast and as he came to his knees brought his sword up to slice of the beasts attacking arm. The beast shrieked in agony before charging him again. It was slower this time. Katrex sidestepped twisting his body to face backwards and in the same movement kept twisting to do a 360 degrees spinning strike delivering the blade in the the beats left side and out the other cutting it in half. It disintegrated in to nothing.
Katrex looked at his sword in amazement, What power it hand, what accuracy balance and sharpness, He sheathed his blade finally feeling totally comfortable with it. Only then did he gain his senses.
"What the hell was that thing" He shouted up.

His initiation completed everything was then explained to him.

Ok approved +2 to fighting skill.
