I wrote this as a test of characterization for myself
I took a character I wanted to you for a future project.  put him in a 
slightly differnt situation to see how he behaved.  Hopefully this would 
give me a good enough grasp of the character to use them in my fic.
 Any C&C would be usefull.

<and now to begin>

	He was close.  He could feel it.  He had chased the freak accross 
the ocean.  and down the beaches of this continant.  But for now he was 
taking a break.  Relaxing in a bar.  Thinking of his revenge.

	"Hey Chink!  Your in my seat." 

	He tourned around.  A large man in his late thirties stood behind 
him.  He was all mucle and had a scar on his left cheek.  A browler.  He 
could take him in less than a second.  Preparing himself he took a relaxed 
stance.  "Well I don't see your name on it."

	This seamd to enrage the man severly for hwe lunged at him.

	Quicker than a blink he had the man pinned agains the bar a brokken 
bottle at his cheak..  "Well  reind I do so hate killing nobodies so why 
don't you be a dear and tell me your name."

	At first the man blanched then after a little more pressure was 
applied he spoke.  "Sue."

	"Whats that?"

	"My name is Sue."

	"Well Sue I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm... Going to buy 
you a drink.  Barkeep two beers."  With that he released the man and took 
the seat beside him.  After the bartender brought the beers the chinaman 
spoke again.  "So freind whats your story?"

	"Well see the name was my fathers idea.  I never new him but my 
mother told me it was his wish that I be named Sue.  If I wated it changed 
I would have to find him and take it up with him.  So I've been serchen 
cross the country for him.  You can ima'gen that a name like Sue can 'cause 
some problems.  'Cause of that when you made that comment about the seat 
have'n my name I lost it.  Sorry 'bout that and thanks for the beer."

	The chinaman nodded, paid for the beers then stode up.  "Well 
freind I must admit you had it tough but, It could have been worse.  You 
could have had my name."

	The man gave the chinaman a doubtfull look then asked.  "And what 
is that freind?"

	The chinaman fingerd his sash then look at Sue.  "Pantyhose," he 
said.

	Sue nodded his head in acnologment and Pantyhose turned to leave.

	"Hey Chinaman"

	Pantyhose turned to look back at Sue.

	"Hit 'em once for me."

	Pantyhose nodded then left the bar.

Authors note:  

	I need to get into the mood for writng a story from our freind Mr. 
Taro's perspective.   Then while planning out out that story I wonderd what 
he would think if he heard the song 'Boy Named Sue".  This pretty much came 
from that there and was just a warm up.  I'm posting this because I want C&C 
on my rendition of Taro.  Is he out of character?  Would he have betten Sue 
to a bloody pulp.  Would he not given Sue his Name.  These I consider grey 
area in his character because Sue is someone who can understand Taro 
truthfully  would he be able to open up.  Also I would like C&C on my 
presintation of this event.
