## Character Backstory

Samuel “Jetstream Sam / Minuano” Rodrigues is descended from a long line of swordsmen, dating back to 16th century Japan. His father ran a Brazilian Kenjutsu dojo, and specifically taught the Uradachi technique, better known as Satsujin-ken or "the murdering sword," which dealt with violence as the end goal. Sam's father was eventually killed by one of his pupils, with one of the drug cartels being rumored to have been involved for reasons and methods unknown, although not before Sam personally inherited his Murasama blade from his father. He then left Brazil, presumably to train, and eventually returned to kill the pupil in question before leaving Brazil permanently. Now he roams New York, bringing more justice to other criminals.

## Storyline

During a normal day of shitposting on 4cram, he found himself caught in a terrorist attack, focused on killing mutants in a Brooklyn mall. He went on the counter attack after trying to appear on the attacker's side, before he noticed someone else had the same idea. After most were downed, with one retreating, me met with Loki after at the Dank Memehaus, where Loki revealed that the one mutant he killed to gain the attacker's trust was also a criminal. They exchanged contacts before leaving. In the days after, he met Vladimir Odenussa, who offered him a job for "cleaning up the streets." He said he'd think about it...

He later appeared in other incidents, such as an outburst from Vera and more importantly, a rampage from a mutant dog. Once some criminals were found to be impersonating the law to put it down, he decided to act in *self-defense* and cut their hands off to prevent them from shooting him. He went to JFK airport to find the dog's daughter, and as the large mutant dog took its last breath, he decided to take in her child with the name Brisa.

## Relationships

* Loki -A fellow vigilante with similar views. Sam considered the idea of forming a partnership with him.
* Vladimir -A mobster offering him a lucrative job for what he already does for free. Hm...

## Fun facts/Trivia

* He posts on 4cram often. Or did before it was shut down.
* He spent part-time cutting bonsai and hedges with his katana for folks on Staten Island. It didn't last forever but he's got a good amount of money from it.
