-Background-
Though suspected to be a sailor's by-blow, little was known
about Sadowi's early life other than he was a friend or servant
to House Agano and an apprentice fisher to Matrose. House Agano
had a strong naval tradition, but when its son Sakawa left for
the region's Naval Academy, Sadowi still ran down the surf
barehooved as officer training was reserved for nobility and its
sons.
Some form of escape came with the arrival of the frigate
Codrington. Sadowi and others, mostly merchants or fishers such
as himself, were impressed and trained by a Master Threnith for
the ship's marine contingent. Technically a marine, Sadowi also
worked as a powder boy where he wove between cannon, cargo, and
hammocks in courier missions into the dark and dank magazines
deep below the waterline.
Sadowi, aboard the Codrington, participated in many patrol and
commerce raiding missions against the Unicorns and Pegasi, with
one noteworthy boarding action of a Unicorn frigate. Unicorns
were weak within the confined quarters of their ship, where
their fear of damaging their own vessel and of the elements,
unbeknownst that natural things such as wood were powerful
insulators for magic, forced them to attempt to fight hoof to
hoof. Sadowi and the other marines split after taking the upper
deck, hearing about a group that fought their way to "Captain
Conehead," but he killed himself before he could be made prey.
The group Sadowi was in slew their way into the ship's hold,
while just the miasma of flesh sapped their strength and morale,
driving some to their knees, but it was nothing compared to the
sight. Pegasus prisoners had no wings, only gaping, infected
holes. Some hung on chains from the ceiling. The floor was
crushed bone. Most were missing limbs. All were alive, for live
flesh did not decay so soon. There were wholly intact prisoners,
probably newer. A look into their eyes said...nothing. They
could probably see, but those eyes were sightless.
It did nothing to sober those marines, only reinforce their
hatred for those dogs.
An unknown amount of time later at an unknown location, Sadowi,
the frigate Codrington, and many others became targets of
sabotage. While the ship was at anchor, someone detonated the
central magazine and sank her with all hands, paws, claws,
hooves, and talons, their muted screams music for DJ Locker.
But they didn't, so some condemned by the public as delusional
who remember such an occurring say. A few tales ran through
dodgy taverns of settlements, from hamlets to the shining jewel
known as Canterlot, saying that the ship of the drowned prowled
the waves once again, her revenant crew blending into the white
fog that seemed to follow them, working and tending to the sails
and rigging as lovingly as ever, in search of justice, to
destroy those who wronged them, only to never reach them due to
a draft too deep to sail up rivers towards the false sanctuary
of Canterlot.
There is no hard evidence about that tale, but Sadowi is very
much an undead pony, held together by magic and his spirit and
served on the Codrington, that walks Equestria again, blissfully
unaware of his comrades' torment, torment for over a thousand
years.
-Personality and Characteristics-
-Likes: swimming/diving -- duelling/fighting -- playful
roughhousing -- fishing/fish -- hanging out -- acting stupid
-Dislikes: getting dismembered/"fragged" --fire -- co'ckroaches
-- rust -- being out in the Sun for more than three hours --
treachery
-Motivation: He's alive...again! Not everyone got this sort of
luxury! Having had a short life, he considers his return a
blessing, an opportunity to continue living.
-Fears: co'ckroaches -- fire -- the future -- disloyalty --
dragons
-Personality: Nowhere near the sophistication of Solivus
Hastings or Shadow Ritual, Sadowi is a rather gullible and
fun-loving guy, often finding himself in odd predicaments,
though not so much a goofball as Chancellor Puddenhead.
Ironically as an undead, his life practically returned to him to
use, he has gained enough appreciation for life to dislike
killing, but he is still a soldier and fighting was what he does
best. He intentionally puts himself in danger for duels,
fishing, or fights, but to him there is no life if one simply
does nothing or lives complacently.
He is kind and loyal but immediately familiar, not particularly
knowing when to speak formally or cautiously. He is not
grandiloquent but may take longer to get to the point.
He does not like killing but is more than delighted to exorcise
or butcher evil into see-through lean slices without any traces
of fat, bone or skin.
-Powers and Abilities-
A marine, Sadowi has great proficiency, if not experience, with
many weapons, notably the boarding hook (for severing tentacles
of krakens) and the harpoon (for dealing with any leviathan),
though he is best with the sword. Though now slower due to his
undead state as a zombie and not a skeleton, he can be
considered even more unpredictable and agile: Without the need
for food, water, or oxygen he never tires. Without true
gelatinous eyes connected to the brain with nerve cells and
instead bestowed teardrops of light able to assume any
orientation for eyes along with a career on a small ship that
loved the waves but rolled miserably, he is more or less an
organic gyroscope. His gallop is fast, but his reflex is equal
to 2.7x108 meters per second and he sees in bullet time.
-Dueling forms-
---Ataru: emphasises erratic, almost unbalanced acrobatics to
outmaneuver and confuse the opponent and their momentum to deal
powerful blows or to flow into the next steps.
---Aegis: utilises precise blocks, short-step dodges, and
parries to dizzy or tire the opponent before striking. Very
useful in confined areas and against opponents of all sizes, but
with his slight frailty he tends to avoid this form.
---Parting the Silk: an elegant form most commonly used to
practice balance. He always begins with this to transition to
others.
He is a great swimmer.
He is ambidextrous.
He could stand, walk, and fight on his hind legs.
Though not capable of spitting poison as he ceased decomposing,
his teeth still contains toxins, mostly used to envenom his
weapons rather than biting.
-Arsenal-
---Envenom: A medium duration poison that stopped the creation
of stem cells and caused random muscle (smooth, skeletal, and
cardio) cell decay.
---Anaesthetic: A debilitating, but very short lived, poison
that attacked the nervous system, especially the cerebellum and
the thalamus.
Both strains of venom ignored the immune system and could be
defeated even by the weakest of organisms given some time,
causing envenom to last about five minutes at most and
anaesthetic about one minute at most.
The maximum amount of poison he could carry and deliver in
succession is five doses of envenom and two doses of
anaesthetic.
-How to deal with him...appropriately-
The only way to end Sadowi was by burning him. He could recover,
with time, from dismemberment because though in pieces, it was
still he. He could recover from decomposition as those
individual elements were separate; he could reform them.
Combustion however was a chemical reaction caused Sadowi to lose
molecular cohesion and then also rejoined the elements into
something else before he could recover. Those new molecules were
not bits of Sadowi anymore, thus he was gone.
Example: say burning methane, CH4. You'll need oxygen, O2.
(balanced equation)
CH4 + 2 O2 ----> CO2 + 2 H2O
After burning methane, there is no more methane. Methane's
individual elements of carbon and hydrogen have been divided and
given to form carbon dioxide and water.
-Equipment-
Sadowi is always been seen with his mismatched pairing of a dao
and a talwar. The dao, christened Goldnail, has cloth bands
wrapped over an ivory hilt to compensate for the illogic of
ivory that will warp and twist from sweat or blood. It's a dao
and not a prissy katana nor a barbaric machete.
Sometimes called the sinkhook due to its distinctive, barbed
blade and fishing wire guard, this weapon bears little
resemblance to the talwar it was originally cut down from.
Attached to another fishing line wrapped around his foreleg, he
wields the sinkhook as an off-hoof weapon, a fishing hook, a
grappling hook, and a kunai.

-Some Silly Things-
Origin of his joke nickname "Undermountain Catapult:"
Almost at home in the dark and dank magazines, essentially under
a rock, clearly he came from a land down under. But it's not
just there where the mares glow and stallions plunder. It's not
just there where you can hear the thunder. You better run and
take cover. He's not six-feet-four, but he is full of muscle and
does speak your language. He didn't die in a den in Bombay, but
he is quite slack jawed and not much to say. The man didn't try
to tempt him because he didn't come from a land of plenty.
His dao might not be adorned, but it is still a finely forged
blade. Not as clumsy or random as a broadsword, it is an elegant
weapon for a more civilised age.
