Blood-Ronin (Yoru Yashida Howlett) (Earth-4976)/History

## Origins

Mariko had unexpectedly been pregnant with Logan’s son. She was surprised, excited and concerned. The child was named Yoru, meaning 'night'. Yoru was supposed to be the future of the family she always wanted since she was too busy with her own duties to focus on her family choices.  Funnily enough Mariko and Logan had yet to be married so they immediately attempted to get married after Yorus birth. Unfortunately, Mariko was killed by the hand at the wedding and Yoru was left alone with his father. With the aftermath left in chaos, Logan took Yoru and went back to New York. He didnt know the first thing about raising this child, and more or less feared for his life. So, he dropped him to Xaviers academy and would stay with Yoru for a bit, to monitor him. Growing up he seemed fine and didnt actually show any signs of his mutation. However, one day, when Yoru was out late at night on his own after having an urge to grab some hot dogs, he was kidnapped. The Yashada clan had taken Yoru and traveled back to Japan. When the morning came, and Yoru was nowhere to be found Logan was outraged and attempted to search for him. In the meantime, a confused Yoru was back to his birthplace only for a strange man to approach him. That man was Kenuichio Harada. He said he was his uncle, something young and naive Yoru was intrigued by, though he asked where his father was, only to get a response saying he was an enemy who stole Yoru after his mother's death. At first, he didn't want to believe it but as time passed on, he slowly changed his perspective and leaned towards the Yashida family.

Over this period of time, Yoru was trained in multiple forms of sword styles including martial arts by Yukio, a former assassin for the clan and someone Yoru would see as a second mother as he was being prepared for the succession of the throne if and when kenuichio died. Though Kenuichio was curious as to if Yoru inherited his father's abilities so one day, he took the training session to far and allowed the sparring partners to use lethal damage which nearly killed Yoru and when he knocked out, he awoke with nothing on his body. After he panicked when he saw another samurai, his claws opened up which caused more terror. The frightened child was comforted by his uncle though the uncle was glad Yoru inherited this. Soon he was taught how to use said claws in combat, whilst initially it was painful, he learned to tolerate the pain and got quite proficient at it. His father had never found Yoru as he himself had memory loss due to incidents in his life. Among fighting he learned business skills as Yashida was a company now. He would go with his uncle to attend certain transactions and meetings. Eventually they made a deal with Weapon X and true adamantium was shipped towards the clan, to make the silver samurai armor. However, they had reserves and Kenuchio had other plans. He told Yoru that he was mortal as he was, killable, damageable so he needed to be "fixed". This resulted in Yoru at 17 years old being subjected to the adamantium bonding experiment, similar to that of his fathers. The pain was excruciating which even resulted in Yoru passing out for 3 days due to the result of it. Though it was a success. Eventually he got deployed as an assassin for his clan to eliminate competition though one faithful day changed the course of his beliefs all over again.

After completing another mission, he listened into his uncle's call which was talking about... logan? Yukio was in it too. In that conversation, Yoru learned the truth as Yukio pleaded to Kenuchio that Logan would be coming for revenge soon. Yoru was dumb founded and didn't know what to do. So he ran. He ran far far away back to New York , refusing to go to the mansion out of trust issues. Though he soon realized he needed answers about his mothers death but he was scared. So he decided to stay in New York and find the one person he could possibly trust. His father. Since then Yorus been living on his own roof top to roof top, eventually donning his suit which was made from his costume back in Japan. Mostly in hopes to draw his fathers attention but it did the opposite. It drew Shields attention in which he was taken in and Yoru reluctantly agreed as it was a safe place to stay for the mean while.

It has been a progressive 4 weeks in shield academy, Yoru has gained some alliances and some rather untrustworthy folks. During his time so far, he has been transported to the planet Skaar to fight under the grandmaster. With the help of SHIELD and the other students, they returned back to Earth safely. Though he did gain a new enemy, Tal'gor. A bone demon from the depths of hell.
