Takara

My name is Takara. I'm 25 years old. Once, I was invisible.
I grew up in a sleeping bag on the streets of Tokyo. Every day was about surviving until the next one. I have no memory of a family, a home, or much reason to think of a tomorrow brighter than the flickering streetlight near where I slept. I begged, scrounged, for cash. Rarely, I'd see a coin on the floor, and that would be my greatest achievement of the day.

One cold, cold night, I snuck into a gym in the middle of the night, desperate for somewhere warmer, somewhere safer, to sleep for a night. I was not alone. The sensei, my future mentor, was staying overnight, as he always did, every night. He looked me up and down, but saw past the dirt and hunger, and saw someone worth saving. He offered me shelter, under a single condition, I would devote my life to the way of Judo. This decision became the foundation of my life today.

Days quickly became years. I trained until my technique became instinct, muscle memory. I broadened my horizons. I became proficient in boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling. I knew that I had been gifted an opportunity that not many in my position would have received. I would not take it for granted. Learning is a privilege. Pressure even more so.

I eventually left Tokyo behind, and bid a fond farewell to my sensei, who had taught me so much. I moved to the United States, and that's where I am today.

People often expect fighters to be loud. I am not. I prefer to speak only when I have something worth saying. I would rather bow, than boast. Everyone who steps into a ring, an octagon, or onto the mats, is exhibiting huge bravery, and that alone, deserves respect. However, respect can be lost - those that are arrogant, that "talk trash", are people that need to be humbled.

I look forward to facing any challengers that come my way. I love challenges, and I think I could teach you a thing or two.

I can be a very literate writer. If you are willing to write a lot, I'm more than happy to reciprocate. Even if you're wanting to write a novel, ten lines per turn, I would love to get immersed in this world with you. On the other hand - if you like shorter, more to the point matches, then there's also a place for that - don't feel pressured! My only ask is that for most turns, please write at least 2 or 3 lines. One liners on their own just aren't enough for me.
I'm most proficient in no holds barred matches - I've found in my experience cyberfighting that I'm at my best when I can pick apart an opponent with well timed strikes, kicks in particular, while using my light, yet powerful frame to remain elusive from getting caught myself. My speed is one of my main aspects, it's the reason why I stay so light. Once they're softened up enough, I'll take them to the ground and submit them. I wouldn't want to break their face too hard, of course...

Though, I am open to other styles - submission wrestling, deathmatches are a few that come to mind, feel free to send me a message with your idea - I'm very open!

I've also started to find dice matches fascinating - would love to do more of those!

My hard limits, are toilet related things, and pedos can fuck off.

I skew competitive, but I'm willing to play around with predetermined match outcomes, but be honest about this, please!
