And now just for the heck of it, some of my character's back story:
Kintaro Tsuchigumo is a Japanese assassin, more commonly known in the Japanese underground as simply 'Tsuchigumo' and feared and revered for his unrivaled mastery of practically any hand held weapon known to man.
Hired by the Shredder to assassinate the turtles, Tsuchigumo willingly agreed to have his body mutagenically enhanced to be able to fight against four mutant turtles at once. Hence the Shredder transformed Tsuchigumo into his namesake: A Spider, a deadly killing machine with eight arms and a lust for Turtle blood.
Choosing his enemies' choice of weapons as his own, Tsuchigumo begins the hunt for his adversaries.
Really would appreciate feedback and critiques on this. Please let me know if I can add something else to make this piece better.
Thanks!
