Third person RP sample:

‘Winning shouldn’t be this easy.’ Snake Eyes mused mid backflip, dodging yet another round of bullets. These security guards were sloppy, even by security guard standards and that was saying something. Everything about this mission screamed ‘trap’ and that should have unnerved even the most seasoned agent. But he wasn’t an agent; he was Arashikage.

There was a man in white in front of him. Snake Eyes glared hard at the stack of horizontal red bars that were embroidered on the man’s sleeve, red slashes in blood against fresh snow. He thought about the ones adoring the sleeves of his own uniform, and the red mark inked into his arm. ‘Storm Shadow.’ His sword brother had no right to bear that mark. Anger began to cloud his judgment and he wrestled it back into its place; the only way he could beat Storm Shadow was with a clear mind.
Snake Eyes drew his sword and waited. It would be only a matter of time before Storm Shadow attacked.

Personality: Snake Eyes is very calm, quiet and reserved. This is in part due to the loss of his vocal chords, but if he were able to talk, he would be a man of few words to most. Only to those closest to him does he have more to say, and he's picky about when he'll say it. However, once you gain his trust, he's been known to have long 'conversations', especially with Scarlett.
Incredibly loyal and dedicated to those he calls friend, but a force to be reckoned when faced with an enemy. Snake Eyes has an inner drive to excel that is unmatched. Ask him to get you the moon and he'll probably do it or die trying. He does have a mischievous streak and occasionally used his ninja skills of awesomeness to rearrange the mess hall or his commander's private quarters, just for kicks. (mattress glued to the ceiling, anyone?)

History:

Snake Eyes (not his original name) was an orphan in Japan, wandering the streets, not knowing if he would live to see the next day. During the day at the market, a young girl was attacked. Snake Eyes fought off the attackers and saved the girl and her older brother, who had been caught off guard by the attack and injured. The girl's father (the Hard Master) thanked Snake Eyes and upon learning the teen had nowhere to stay, welcomed him into his home and took him under his wing. After excelling in his training, the Hard Master gave his student a new name: Snake Eyes, because he had the 'steely gaze of a serpent'. Snake Eyes had another name, once. He's long since forgotten it, and ever since completing his ninja training, he hasn't had a need to try and remember it.

Storm Shadow, the Hard Master's nephew, proved to be a traitor and attempted to kill his uncle and Snake Eyes and take over the clan. The Hard Master drank the poisoned tea and Snake Eyes tried to save him. Storm Shadow slit Snake Eyes' throat with a shuriken, claiming that he was only defending the Master from an assassin. Snake Eyes recovered, but his vocal chords were damaged beyond repair, leaving him mute.

Snake Eyes completed his training and left Japan, traveling for a time until he was recruited into an elite team of American soldiers under the name GI Joe.

It was through the Joes where he and Lieutenant Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara met. They went on a handful of missions and got to know each other better. Her knowledge of sign language helped greatly. Unknown to Scarlett, Snake Eyes had promised her father (before his death) that he would protect Shana with his life. Then, they parted ways: Snake Eyes left for Japan to deal with a copycat, Scarlett moved into Military Intelligence.

When Scarlett contacted him about exposing Cobra's true intentions, he was more than happy to help. He joined her rag tag team of falsely accused Joes to help them clear their names.
