NINJA
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
It is well past midnight, the streets are almost barren of people. Drunks and other
revelers are making their way home from a night of partying. Guards walk the streets
oblivious to him. He hides deep in the shadows of the buildings waiting for his prey
to emerge from the Drunken Dragon Tavern. He has been hired to assassinate the most
powerful and rich man in all the lands. This is his job, he personally does not know
the man, nor does he care to. He thinks only of the rest of the money he will get
once the job is finished. He fingers his whip lightly, almost casually, yet he is
prepared to strike at any time. His victim emerges from the tavern, stumbling
slightly. He follows the man as he makes his way home, stalking. The man stops to
rest under a bright street lamp, looking up at the crescent moon above. He strikes
fast and hard, leaving his victim a bloody, dead mess. Removing the man's signet
ring, he walks away, anticipating the platinum coins he will get for his nights work.

Ninjas live by honor and kill by stealth, taking pride in the fact that no one can
see them coming. They live for the quick kill and get paid to assassinate prominent
noblemen and merchants. Stealth is the key with them, as any spotted ninja is obliged
to kill himself, or so the stories about them go, but who knows? They may just use
their knowledge to disappear and fake their deaths, re-emerging later to exact
revenge. Ninjas hide among the populace as bakers, merchants, noblemen, and priests,
waiting for their prey to give them the perfect opportunity, then striking from the
shadows, slaying them and collecting their money. You could be sitting next to one in
the donation room, or standing next to one in the shops throughout the realms..
passing them on the street and not even knowing it. You could even be their next
target... They start their training at birth, running long distances, making it at
least five miles without rest before age seven, and can walk on wet rice paper
without leaving any marks. They can endure extreme elements and have been known to
meditate under ice cold waterfalls and enjoy it, or wait in silence, not moving or
blinking for hours, even days.
