Background

Sasori was born in the Ryoko Province in Ryoko Owari Toshi, the Journey's End City, but better known as the "City of Lies" (Rokugan Las Vegas). Since birth Sasori was raised in the many facets of Scorpion Clan life and learning the various trades of his Clan and families, both Bayushi and Shosuro. Since a young child well before his gempukku, Sasori was very unorthodox in his common knowledge and would find ways to play tricks on the adults and construct and manipulate situations to go in his favor. One would say the child was very "crafty" in how he approached situations. And as he grew into adulthood, others could see that he was a natural looker, a "dangerous beauty" that could steal the hearts of any fair maiden. Despite being a Scorpion, other's have "perceived" him to be very honorable which matches his path in life of being an Junshin, or Honest Scorpion. This is offset by a level of infamy and rumors that he is a shinobi, a shadow warrior and assassin -- but those are only rumors, none of which he has attempted to deny.

Sasori's younger life was met with various trials. He lived through the time of the Scorpion Coup, the alleged assassination of Hoturi, and the banishment of his clan into the Burning Sands by the Emerald Champion. It was there that a 12 year old child was broken and forged into a young man, a veteran of war and espionage. He had participated in the revolt and break out of the Scorpion from Senpet enslavement, took part as a foot soldier within the Erba Alliance in the "Shattering of the Jewel" and after "The Awakening" returned with the Scorpion, with the Goddess Shinjo as clan head, back to Rokugan to be reinstated as one of the Great Clans.

Sasori is 19 years of age at the start of "New Beginnings". He is slightly above average in height around 5'8" and is around 187lbs. He has dark hair and a pair of black eyes with reddish tint giving him that look of a deliciously dangerous man on the prowl, or a Scorpion, his namesake, ready to strike at a moments notice. Typically travels wearing a black cloak with crimson clouds over his attire, many of which have mistaken for the attire of a ninja in clan colors. He wears a full face mask that is ivory white with red markings to look like the face of a cat. He also has a penchant for wearing make-up to disguise himself, using his Dangerous Beauty trait to his advantage. Only Shosuro Atsumori, Doji Oharu, the late Hoturi I, Kakita Toshiken and select Samurai who he has traveled with have seen his real face.
