Inagwaro Kai

Inagwaro Kai

BASIC INFORMATION

APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

Appearance:
Kai is often described an intimidating. Whether this is due to his overbearing height, physique, or perpetually angry expression is anyone’s guess. All three combined serve to scare away most people who give him a second glance. He keeps his hair short and spiked and his eyebrows are long and constantly furrowed, making lines above and below his eyes. Even when he is smiling it looks like he is struggling to hold back a punch to the face. His body is fit to back up the expression on his face. The size and tone of his musculature makes it clear that he works out and takes care to keep himself in solid physical condition. Contrary to his rough appearance, he tends to dress rather well actually. He often wears button down shirts, jackets, and dress pants with rather smart looking shoes, although still good for running. His hands and knuckles are clearly calloused from years of fighting. Beneath his clothes, he actually had a few scars from those fights, the largest most visible one a long gash, from a knife wound, on his left side.

Personality:
Kai first and foremost wants to attain the respect of his larger family and will do anything in his power to earn that respect. However, more often than not his own stubbornness and temper get in his way. He had a hard time controlling his anger and often ends up lashing out when he should wait and think of a more diplomatic solution. Once he decides that something must be done, it is tough to convince him otherwise. Sometimes it is only the fear of jail or death that can get him to choose retreat when he had decided it is time to fight. Kai is also quite greedy and loves money, not just for material possessions he can buy with it, but the social standing that it affords. To this end, he has little to no respect for the law, if he can get away with it. As many vices as Kai has, however, he is a person who is utterly loyal to his family and friends. He will passionately defend anyone he considers one of his own, even if it means taking the fall for them. However, he does not suffer the weak or cowards. They do not deserve the least bit of respect.

HISTORY

Kai was basically born into a life of crime. He is the middle son of a low level branch of the Inagwaro Family. Though he shares a surname with the Family, he is far from any sort of leadership position. From the time he could walk and talk, he was taught that the only true authority was the Family and the boss. The law was nothing compared to your kin and they deserved to be able to operate and live as they pleased.

In middle and high school, Kai was well known as a delinquent and rumours of his Yakuza origins swirled around the student body. He never confirmed them, but he also never denied them. He enjoyed the intimidating image the rumours gave him. He did actually get fairly good grades, but not perfect. Sports were also something he took interest in, where he was solid but nothing to write home about. He never felt pressure to do more than what was necessary, but failure was also never an option.

During these school years, he was an active member of the Family, albeit no higher than a gopher. He grew up with several other young Family members, even those high up in the hierarchy, but their familiarity faded with time as their delineation in status became more defined. While he was running message and packages back and forth and dealing drugs and other commodities, his childhood friends were sitting in on high level meetings and being groomed to rise.

After turning eighteen and graduating high school, it became clear to Kai that he could not just sit back and accept his position if he wanted to make anything of himself within the Family. He couldn’t let himself weakly accept the status quo. He had to put himself out there and get shit done if he wanted to rise, too, despite not being groomed. It had been done before and he could do it again. The Call to Action in Nakano by the Keishicho was something he saw as an opportunity to show his ability and usefulness to the Family. If he could help secure their position in Nakano, where they have held control for decades, then they could not deny him respect and an opportunity. At least that was how he saw it.

QUIRK INFORMATION

Quirk
Energy Projectile Channeling

Type: Emitter
Rank: E
Description: Kai has the ability to generate and gather kinetic energy in his hands and channel it into a projectile. In its most basic form, Kai can form the energy into a ball in the palm of his hand. While he cannot shoot or propel the energy forward on his own, he can throw it at a target if he has to. The special thing about this energy is that it can be channeled through a weapon or item that can otherwise fire a projectile, such as a bow or a gun. This can alter the properties of the projectile based what it is channeled through.

Effects:
Kai can throw his energy projectile about the distance of a Backyard Pool, about 10-12m with his full strength. The energy is purely kinetic and has no special elemental properties, but has the power to shatter Stone.

Channeling the energy through something else can increase the range, speed, and power based on the item used as well as change the shape and size of the energy to match the type of projectile normally fired.

Drawback and Weaknesses: Generating and gathering the kinetic energy takes a toll on Kai’s body as it requires the use of his own energy. He has to eat a lot more than the average boy his age and size in order to fuel the use of his Quirk. If he uses it too often, to the point of running out of stamina, causes him to experience a minor bout of Nausea. Without a weapon or item to channel through, his Quirk cannot be used to its full potentional, missing out on the extra properties provided by channeling.

MUNDANE ABILITIES

Yakuza Son
Rank: F
Effect: Kai was born an Inagwaro, a powerful Yakuza Family that has held power over Nakano for decades. Despite being a lower level member, Kai’s reputation follows him. Rumors suggest that he is somehow involved with the Yakuza and therefore someone to be feared or treated with caution. As a ground soldier for the Family, he is known by his fellows and oyabun, but relatively unknown to higher ups. He knows the Family territory like only a soldier on the ground could, but is hardly privy to more sensitive information and plans beyond what trickles down to him. He has access to some information and resources but only what is relavant to his current assignment. (This is a Yakuza-specific Fame/Wealth Ability.)
