Bio: Where do you come from?
Born into a minor branch of house Soshi, Sasuke was turned over to the Shugenja at an early age, his training began when many others are learning to talk and walk, his fellow students often referring to him as "that peasant" many of these . This
early beginning drew him up with a inborn desire to know and learn everything he could to better himself. He became known as an experimenter, often preferring the company of his books and chemicals than people. This has lead to a somewhat acidic temper, and a lack of patience with the intellectual gifts (or lack thereof) of those around him.
