Character Description
Physical Appearance(s):
Credit to Yi-KaiJunichiro is taller than the average Japanese salary man and built quite a bit sturdier than one too. Standing at an imposing 6 Foot and 3 Inches (190.5 cm) he towers over the average crowd, when this is combined with his muscular build his presence is easy to notice. That is where his menacing air ends however, he will always be wearing a smile on his face and his dark brown eyes show a kindness to the world that betrays his imposing figure. Jun tends to let his hair grow long and to tie it up into a messy tail behind his head, that way it is kept out of his eyes when he is working.
This clean shaven and well cared for man is always wearing a simple black suit, consisting of black shoes, a white button up shirt that is always tucked in with the top button undone and black tie. His jacket has been replaced by a sturdier looking leather one that has Armor plates on the right arm and a metal gauntlet. Strapped to the back of this jacket is a holster to hold a long black katana scabbard.
Personality:
Ray of Sunshine: Wherever Jun goes and whatever Jun does he puts great effort in seeing the sunny side of life, bringing smiles to people and aiming to make the world a better place. He is commonly nearly always wearing a smile and joking about in even some of the most stressful situations. If someone is sad or crying near him Junichi will go out of his way to save the day and stop the tears with his bright smile and kind eyes.
Bulwark of Peace: Conflict is always a second option for Junichiro, resorting to violence is something he always wants to avoid due to it bringing out sides of himself he despises. He will go to great lengths to avoid fighting people and more reasonable demons. Though if all fails, he will draw out his sword and get down to business. This mantra also extends to the wider world where he will try to diffuse fights between others, even those he has no business getting his nose into.
Out of his depth: Junichiro isn’t the smartest of guys, he knows how to fight and how to look after himself and those who are closest to him. He has a streetwise air and knows a few languages, Japanese, English and Italian are his strongest with Spanish, Chinese and Indonesian being differing levels of competence. What he is not good with is grasping the grand picture of the world, the invasion and what it means. He finds the politics of all the different factions too complicated to deal with and just wants to help people. This can lead to him getting caught up in many situations without really realising it and he is not one to think ahead more than the current step he is taking.
Demon In His Own Right: The reason Junichiro wants to avoid fighting is not the fact that he fears for his life and safety… it’s that he fears for everyone around him. When he gets riled up and excited he tends to forget himself in the heat of battle, and the enjoyment that can bring. This had lead to some incidents in the past where he has gone too far or in the bloody haze has not realised he was fighting an ally.
Backstory
Junichiro was born to some nobody family, his father worked as your run of the mill salary man, his mother a stay at home waste of space who did the bare minimum to provide care. This left the young child mostly to his own devices as he went through his early formative years, his father did care for him deeply but the long hours were murder and when his mother remembered he existed she did dote on him, partially through love and partially to alleviate her own guilt. They weren’t perfect but young Jun loved them.
He was home alone when his young life was forever changed in his early teens, his parents out together for the first time in memory. There was an accident, their car crashed and his parents were killed in it. The incident was unusual, however, there were no other cars on the road at the time and there was no sign of the car failing in any way. The car had a clawed handprint in the hood and a door was ripped clean off. The father was ripped to shreds and tossed to the side while the mother was hard to identify and not moved from her seat. The entire incident never sat right with Junichiro and so he did what any inquisitive teen would do, he chased the loosed ends to find the truth.
The adventure he went on delved into a secret world of monsters and hidden families, when close to the thing he believed killed his family he came across a strange merchant. Having no money to his name Junichiro was brave claiming that he could use anything to kill a demon, the shady merchant laughed and took the kid up on his bet and handed him the cursed blade, Raikirimaru. True to his word the plucky teen returned to the shop with his life intact and the head of a lesser demon bleeding onto the shops floor.
Since then, the young man has bumbled his way through life, taking odd jobs here and helping whoever he can there. Still, he could never find the demon that took his parents lives in such a brutal way. Those who approached him tried to impose to many rules, he quickly turned them down knowing that he could do better without their restraints. Ronin, they called, a man without family.
Now Junichiro does his best, taking jobs and saving everyone he can as he still tracks down the killer that set him off on this path. All the while stumbling through the Japanese underworlds politics and getting into big messes he has to clean up.
Traits
Inhuman Strength:
Junichiro has a natural strength that far exceeds his peers, and this is something he has worked on in his life. Be it in training with the sword or manual labour to earn some money. This allows the Ronin to do things that would baffle most people.
Inhuman Reflexes:
Due to training with the blade, a naturally good danger sense, and quick bursts of speed Junichiro can react to threats with a haste that betrays his muscular bulk. While he may not be able to dodge or block all of this, he can certainly minimise the damage it does to him and respond in kind.
Equipment
Name: Devil Arm: Raikirimaru (The Thunder Cutting sword)
Description: Raikirimaru is an ancient black blade that is etched with patterns of clouds and striking lighting down the sides of the blade that meld into the cutting edge. History states that this blade carved the very sky, sliced lightning and cut through the very thunder. Then it went dormant, cursing anyone who would wield it to an early grave if it deemed them not worthy.
Rank: D
Traits: -
Combat Foci
Name: Raijutsu
Description: Junichiro fights using his Raikirimaru as if he were a storm, his strikes quick and powerful like lightning and the effects as devastating as the thunder the follows. There is not much room for thought in this style as it forces the user to always be in movement, preparing for the next devastating attack or moving to parry or counter. This style relies heavily on instinct and the guts to keep pushing forward, even in fights where the odds are against you.
