Strengths:
Sword fighting: Gintoki is a talented sword fighter and samurai, learning the art of the sword from an early age and being tutored by his teacher Yoshida Shouyou alongside his fellow warriors Katsura Kotarou and Takasugi Shinsuke. He later took part in the Joui wars where he was nickname Shiroyasha (white demon) for his talents and fighting abilities against the Amanto invaders. After the war ended and swords were banned in Japan he chose he new weapon to be a 'bokutou' a wooden sword. He has shown he sword fighting skills many times thoughout the series and has defeated many enemies using his Bokutou, but will still on occasion use a real katana against strong foes.
Yagyuu Binbokusai conceded that Gintoki's sword style may well be his own, and not affiliated to any school.
He does not like killing, willing to adapt his bushido to other people or the current times in order to avoid needless loss of lives
Strong minded: He is the type of person that when he sets his mind to do something, he will see it through to the end, sometimes in his own weird unforeseeable way. He will fight for what he sees as right to the very end and will never back out of a serious promise.
Friends: He has a strong connection to a lot of people, people who will fight along side him no matter the outcome. He can form strong bonds with others very easily and these bonds last a life-time. If you're his friends and someone he likes, he'll have your back against any enemy.
Stealing abilities: He has been known to be able to use other abilities from different 'Shonen Jump' characters.
Weaknesses:
On the verge of diabetes: He is constantly eating sweets and drinking strawberry milk, which is no good for his sugar levels. He claims to be hyperglycemic and so will eat whatever can (that is sweet) whenever he can. He would not turn down ice-cream or cake from anyone.
Lazy: Despite being a ferocious warrior, he is extremely lazy and has almost no motivation for everyday life. He spends most of his days lazing around his apartment (which he is behind on his rent on) reading Shonen Jump.
Ghosts: Gintoki is terrified of ghosts, nut is quite sensitive to their presence and will try as hard as he can to deny their exsistance.
Past: His inability to protect many of his friends in the Joui war still haunts him, and as a result, he is very protective of his current friends.
Hair: He is self conscious of his curly hair and others will pick on him for this. He believes his natural hair is the reason why he cannot get a date, and is constantly wishing for straight hair.
Weapons And Equipment:
Bokutou: He is always carrying his wooden sword on his hip as he goes about everyday day, it barley ever leaves his side. No-one is sure how he got this sword and what importance it has to him. It is engraved with the word Touyako meaning Lake Toya on the handle. Despite being a wooden sword it has fought on par with one with a metal blade.
Vesper Scooter: This is his mode of transport, a silver Vesper which primary job seems to be to get Gin to the shops and back so he can pick up his weekly Shonen Jump.
Personal Information
Personality:
Gintoki's past continues to influence who he is and how he acts. He has admitted that he believes having a loving family is all someone really need in life, due to his lack of a family. He is very respectful of his teacher Yoshida Shouyou and out of memory of his teacher's kind actions (the death of his teacher is one of main reasons he joined the Joui war) His inability to protect many of his friends in the Joui war still haunts him, and as a result, he is very protective of his current friends. The only reason he fought in the Joui war was to protect his friends, not for his country or the samurai way.
He has many childish personality traits despite his age, calling himself a child in a man's body. One such trait is his love of sweets to the point of nearly developing diabetes. He is mostly seen eating or drinking something sweet, with strawberry milk being his favourite.
As he is nearly in poverty he attempts to save money whenever he can, but he also loves to play Pachinko and other gambling games, resulting in him spending all his money. Even though he's lazy most of the time, Gintoki is quite a dedicated worker and always puts his mind on his jobs.
He acts like a coward most of the time, will attempt to leave behind his friends if his life is in danger, but this only occurs in the more comical stories, as he is willing to risk his life for anyone, and is shown to be extremely caring towards his friends.
Despite his appearance and initial behavior, Gintoki has a great amount of pride for the old bushido code. He takes it upon himself to rescue or avenge not only his comrades and friends but also people he barely knows.
Gin has an odd relationship with the Shinsengumi of the era, with a mutual respect/hatred for each other, they will help each other out in times of need, but also like to keep their distance as much as possible.
History:
Gin was found as a child by a man called Yoshida Shouyou, before this Gintoki past is unknown. He was found in a battle field surrounded by corpses holding a katana, Shouyou soon found out that he was stripping weapons and other supplies from the corpses to protect himself. Wanting to help the child he offered to teach him the way of the sword and a place to live rather than continuing to steal from dead bodies. Gin decided to follow him and learned the way of the samurai under his tutoring along with many other students for many years.
However Yoshida was arrested and the school burnt down. Gin had to watch helplessly as his teacher was taken away and his home burnt to the ground. This lead him and two other students, Katsura and Takasugi to join the Joui wars and they became the last warriors of the joui patriots, they were later joined by another companion called Sakamoto.
Gin gained the nickname Shiroyasha, which means"white demon," and was feared by both the Amanto (enemy) and his companions because of his amazing powers in swordplay and his demonic white appearance. After the war was lost, Gin disappeared for a while. After the war swords were banned and anyone found carrying one was to be arrested on the spot.
He later met Otose (his current landlady) in the graveyard where her husband was buried. At this piont he was near death and needed food and water desperately. He then promised to always protect her in return for the food he took from her husband's grave.
He later created Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Gin) with three other people, until they went their separate ways (he tried to drown them when they started to date each other).
After that he formed a new Yorozuya with a Teenage boy named Shinpachi who is also looking to learn the way of the Samurai. An alien girl called Kagura, from the Yato clan he hold insane strength. And their pet dog Sadaharu.
Sample Post
It was already the middle of the afternoon but yet he had not moved from his spot on the sofa. Lying on his side he slowly turns the pages from the newest Shonen Jump magazine he so loved to read. He really stop though he thinks to himself, most kids stop reading Jump when they reach adulthood but for some reason he could never kick the habit.
Lazily his lifts his head from where it was resting on his hand and looks around his apartment. 'Messy' he mutters under his breath, but not to worry, he can easily get Shinpachi to clean it up later, he is far too busy right now.
His eyes continue to scan the small room that has become his home ever since the end of the war. Theres not much to it, a desk, two sofa's, a small, old, mostly broken TV and, oh yes, a giant dog. Man that dog was expensive to feed.
Sighly softly he puts down his magazine and rose from his position on the sofa and ran his finger through his curly silver hair. His 'empolyees' should be arriving soon, well, one would be arriving from having lunch with his sister, the other was probably still asleep in her cupboard on the other side of the room.
He wonders over to the door and knocks rapidly to wake up his young charge.
"Oi Oi up we get" He speaks through the gap between the door and the wall. "The sun's already halfway across the sky and if you don't get up now I'll set the dog on you."
He hears a grunt and shuffling from inside, satisfied she's awake he goes back to the sofa and picks up his comic again. Looking up when he hears the sliding of the door he sees his youngest employee climb down from her bed, still clad in her pajamas. She wonders across the room and turns on the static ridden TV.
"Hey this is broken again" she says grumpily, chucking the remote at his head and stomping out of the room to get some food.
"Sure, sure" he mutters not concentrating properly. "I'll see if I can find another job again." He glances out of the window and sees grey clouds gathering. "...Meh maybe tomorrow"
