Backstory/History: Outside of Tokuno not much is know about his family and ancestors, only that he comes from a renowned family of Samurai. The last Samurai in this line was his grandfather, who became Ronin, after his heirless master died in battle. Without wife or children, his grandfather left Tokuno to seek adventure and never set foot on Tokunese soil ever again. He met his future wife, a Tokunese beauty and Kunoichi, on one of his many journeys. When his son was born he settled down to open his own Dojo. He died of high age in his house near Trinsic. As his last wish he burried beside his wife, under a cherrytree.
His Father was trained in the way of Bushido to take over the Dojo, but also became a blacksmith and tinker and after grandfathers death, took over his house neer Trinsic, where he met his future wife, a Tokunese Tailor. They sold the house and became wandering merchants, where on one of these travels Justin was born. While Justin was on his way to a grandmaster smitty, his parents were killed on the road by a band of marauding Orcs.
Born in the middle of nowhere, Justin was trained in the basics of fhe craftsman skills of his parents, but also in the way of Bushido by his father, to keep up the family tradition. Having a knack for working with metal, he soon was able to help out his father with his work. Whenever they hit a village or town, he asked his father to go with him to the different craftsmen, where he studied their work. At the age of 14 he left to work at a smitty in Trinsic, after 3 years he moved to tinker in Jhelom and another 2 years later to a Tailor in Britain. At the age of 23 he went on a search to find a grandmaster blacksmith to refine his techique. About a year later he learned of his parents demise.
He found an old grandmaster blacksmith, who would train him. After only 2 years of training the old grandmaster died and Justin was on the move again. He met a Tokunese girl, who once has been an apprentice of the old master, about the same age as Justin himself. The two fell in love and even wanted to marry but a Month before the Wedding, she died by a fever. Alone and full of sadness and sorrow, he moved on, training under different masters, to become more and more proficient in his skills.
He settled down in a tower west of Minoc and became a citizen of Vesper.
