I stayed away from swords and Katana’s and went creative... although his second mark is questionable... I'll post it and let you be the judge. ^_^ It's not my best temp and it's not done. I'm working on the bio but it'll be done soon.
Here's the finished template!
Name: Sam Thompson.
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sam is pretty normal appearance-wise. He stands at about 5’9” and has a cream-colored skin tone. He isn't handsome, nor is he ugly. He has a simple look. His eyes are a dark chocolate color and his hair is buzzed but when grown out is dark brown, almost black color. He has stubble on his face but he doesn’t allow it to grow into a full beard. His build is like that of any other soldier; athletic from all the workouts they make them perform.
For clothing he wears a variety of plaid shirts and white v-necks underneath. Over the shirt, in colder temperatures, he wears a black jacket. He wears black pants along with a black belt. His shoes are also black. He likes to make sure his clothing is always clean and pressed and that his shoes remain clean; although he isn't afraid to get dirty.
Personality: A rather talkative fellow. He is quite outgoing and loves to speak his mind. He tends to always find a way to see the glass half full instead of half empty. He smiles alot and sometimes comes off as a flirt. He also always seems able to make conversation with about anyone. He does have a serious side to him as well. Whenever he is serious, it means he is either thinking or on a mission. He doesn't like people who goof off during missions and he takes his orders very seriously.
Due to being born in London, Sam speaks with a British accent. He has tried several times to cover it up to sound American but he gave up after the fifth class and stated it was too difficult to learn. He thinks the Americans speak funny anyways and sees his accent as the only thing he has left of his home.
Side: AotSA
Rank: Soldier
Place of Origin: London, England.
The First Mark: Sam's weapon is a chakram. (see picture below) He didn't know how to use the chakram when he first accidentally generated it. He knew it was a decent close combat weapon but he didn't know it was such an effective long-range weapon as well. When he was taken to the Academy of the Special Arts they taught him how to use the chakram to their full effect. He mastered it quickly and was surprised how deadly they were. He can throw the chakram with great precision and force that it is able to chop off a person’s limb. He can separate the weapon into two pieces and use them in close range combat.
The symbol associated with the Chakram is an empty circle. Sam thinks it is just because the chakram are round but he's gotten a bunch of other interpretations. (i.e. it represents unity.) He likes his interpretation best.

The Second Mark: His second power is actually quite powerful and deadly. One of his fellow soldiers called it, the ability to inflict death into his weapon. When the second mark is activated the edge of his weapon changes from silver to black. If hit by the chakram while the second mark is activated the opponent/enemy will be immediately poisoned. The poison inflicts immediate immobilization. If the person inflicted with the poison is not given the antidote within a day they will die. The body of the victim, during the 24-hour period feels as if a million tiny needles are being injected into the persons skin simultaneously. Sam only uses it in dire situations because he dislikes killing.
The second mark is on the inside of his wrist and is a snake that wraps itself starting from his elbow, around his forearm and ends within his palm. The scales of the snake can actually be felt on Sam's arm. Sam carries three syringes with the antidote in them at all times.
Bio: Sam was born in London, England to an archeologist and a travel agent. His father, the archeologist was searching India for a mysterious weapon that the natives in India would use in war. He took his wife, who was expecting any day and while he was out searching she went into labor. They rushed her to a hospital in India. When Sam’s father came back, Sam was already born. He was born with an oddly shaped birthmark. It was the outline of a circle on his wrist. The doctors didn’t know what to do with it so they just left it alone. They went back to their London home and took the small boy to the doctor there. The doctor had no clue what it was and allowed the baby to go home with his parents. A couple years passed and as the boy grew older his parents noticed whenever he was playing or grew excited a weapon would appear and they were worried that it had something to do with the strange mark. When he was four it grew out of control and they took him to the same doctor. The doctor took the boy from his parents forcefully and decided to try and teach the boy how to control this strange power.
When the doctor taught him everything he knew he sent the boy to AotSA where he learned to control the power. While there he mastered his weapon and graduated 22nd in his class. He was never the smartest student. When he graduated he obtained the second mark and thought it a horrible power. He decided that being a civilian would be too boring and joined the soldiers of AotSA.
