Asai Shigeru
		Shinorigami-
			Since c.200 A.D. when Buddhist monks first introduced paper into Japan, paper folding (Origami) has been an art form with in the country. Originally a ceremonial activity, folding of documents, decrees, and other such papers, it evolved into an art form. Paper was used in architecture, mostly for religious (shinto) decorations and buildings. Monks would incorporate Origami into shinto, or religious ceremonies. The word paper, or Kami was a homonym for god or spirit. Present day it is an arts and crafts for kids, making animals and other ‘statues’ or ‘models’ of things from paper. Shinorigami is a practice by the order monks that introduced paper into Japan. They used mystic powers and their own "ki' to create weapons and other objects out of paper to be used within combat. At the lowest level, monks could use small Origami weapons and projectiles, such as knives, kama, sai, throwing knives, and shurikens as well as create weak armor, create small paper spirit beings (cranes, fish, turtles, faeries, etc), and cast low level spells with fuda. As they progressed through training Monks could control the paper and imbue them with magical powers, and spirits through written incantations upon the paper, bringing stronger physical and spiritual properties to their manifestations as well as better control. Such as armor, swords, axes, barriers, normal paper spirit beings (pandas, tigers, wolves, unicorns, mermaids, gorillas etc... ). Finally at the more advanced stages they could come to creating more advanced manifestations, such as paper golems, armor imbued with characteristics from different spirits (rabbit=fast, turtle=heavy defense, dragon=stamina/fire properties), larger paper spirit beings (lesser dragons, demons, angels, phoenix...etc) , and could perform the higher leveled spells with fuda. The greatest technique in the Shinorigami style is the summoning of the great dragon spirit, Ryuukami. into a paper dragon.
			History-
			Asai Shigeru was brought up from birth in a small village surrounding a buddhist temple, where he was raised by monks from birth. His mother visited him every day for the first six years, then she began to visit more infrequently, only to see him once every two weeks to a month. After eight more years of these infrequent visits, his family decided to move, and Asai, missing his mother, and growing uncomfortable with the increasing violence within his town, decides to leave the temple to move with them, to continue his training elsewhere. So Asai moved to Tokyo and was enrolled in Toudou Academy. During his years within the temple, Asai was raised by the Shinorigami monks, where he was taught the secrets of the Shinorigami arts, so that it would be carried on through a younger generation and not die with the last of their kind. For most of his time with in the temple he went through spirtual and basic training. It wasn't til the tenth year that he began lessons in the actual techinques of the arts, only solidifying the first level of the art, but not mastering it by the time he moved to Tokyo. Even in Tokyo he still strives to learn the rest of the art as to perfect it and to become a master of the Shinorigami so that he too can pass it on one day. Asai hopes to achieve his goal through enrolling in Toudou Academy. Now, Asai is the new kid in the school, shy, modest and trying to not make too many waves. All he wishes to do is to train and master his arts, while having some fun and maybe gaining back some of his childhood he missed out on while being kept within the temples back home....
