Physical Appearance(s): Miyoshi is the very definition of a yakuza tough. Standing at just shy of six feet, he has broad shoulders and an impressive physique. His black hair is cut short and slicked back, with dark brown eyes punctuating a face that seems perpetually stern and almost always scowling. A very short beard is maintained along his jawline. Typically he wears a fine suit, designed to be easily moved in sure, but a suit nonetheless, usually a traditional black color, although he sometimes sports a very dark blue one instead.
His body is well muscled and fit, as well as decorated with scars from his life fighting in the Yakuza. As of yet not many new scars have been added from his new profession in Orochi.
Personality: Miyoshi comes across differently depending on if one knows him from work or from his social life. At work he's stoic, focused and dedicated. He's here to do a job, and to waste any time or goof off would be an insult to the Hidaka family. It's not to say he's against jokes or has no sense of humor, but his serious attitude and dry sense of humor can make it hard to tell at times. Off work though he's far more outgoing and friendly, he even smiles! He enjoys a drink out with his co-workers, and even volunteers at a local dojo to his home to help teach the students.
He's very proud of his work, and doesn't mind that he can't talk about it. He gives people the cover of a basic government job, and Orochi gets him the paperwork to insure that no one who doesn't need to know thinks anything else. As leader of one of the Hidaka hunter squads he also takes that very seriously and is deeply concerned with the welfare of those who fight alongside him. He's not noticed anything unusual about Tsukiko other than a youthful eagerness to prove herself, and is more worried about Eguchi's vain tendencies and loudmouth personality.
Backstory
Miyoshi's backstory is nothing particularly remarkable. He was born into one of the several families that merged into the later Hidaka family. His father was a loyal man and so was he. He fought and bled for the Yakuza, enforcing territory, collecting payment and dealing with troublemakers. He's been in a number of scraps across his life, and once even served several long years in prison, taking the fall for one of his superiors of his own volition.
There are few in the Hidaka family of his rank that are better respected and he's turned his attention to detail and unflinching loyalty and commitment to his new position with aplomb. He struggled a great deal with learning magic and relies primarily on weapons and tools that do that for him. However, his skill, sharp intuition and unflappable attitude even faced with the most gruesome devils saw him placed into a position of leadership, albeit not a high one. As leader of one of the hunter squads, that of Juu-ni Gumi, or Twelfth Squad.
Secrecy is the name of the game, and he has made sure his subordinates understand that as well. He fully expects under his leadership, both Tsukiko and Eguchi will become well respected members of the Hidaka family, just like him. He just needs to curb some of their more...unusual tendencies.
Traits
Inhuman Stamina
Miyoshi has always pushed himself as hard as he can to do the best job he can for the family, both Hidaka and the family he had before. This combined with specialized training for hunting devils has given him truly unreal stamina, allowing him to keep going long after most people would have collapsed from exhaustion.
Unflinching Will
Loyalty and Determination are a potent combination, that result in Miyoshi being an extremely strong-willed, some might say stubborn, individual. He's able to stay focused and is starkly resistant to a lot of mental effects or compulsions, and can even manage to focus while under the effects of mind-altering substances, in tremendous pain, or other things that might compromise one's thinking ability.
Equipment
Name: Hard Water Knuckles
Description: A pair of brass knuckles, a bit more broad than usual and with three shining turquoise gems embedded into each them, the gems themselves carved with the kanji for water, force, and purity. The Hard Water Knuckles are a device for Elemental Creation, specifically creating water. An excellent tool for someone who struggles with the intricacies of magic on their own.
Upgrade Points: 2
Upgrades:
High Impact Water Generation (Aspect-like)
Upon a solid impact with an object, person, devil or otherwise, the magic is activated, creating a burst of fresh water with tremendous force, enhancing impact, and staggering or outright knocking foes away from the user. There's some limited control of this capable, such as the range of the water, or how tightly focused the burst is, but it requires greater concentration than just the standard blast of pressurized water.
Name: Exorcist's Naginata
Description: A long naginata, the shaft is a sturdy black iron, while the blade is a curved, broad and shining steel, with a curious cross-guard upon it, a foot long shaft of metal affixed to the point between blade and shaft. There are numerous kanji etched into the black shaft.
Upgrade Points: 1
Upgrades:
Demon Repelling Blade (Trait-like)
By the principles of Conjuration, so too as a demon is summoned it can be banished with the right know how. The Exorcist's Naginata thus is magically enhanced to channel magic designed to try and banish a demon, or rather 'summon' it somewhere else. The effect is that the weapon cuts through devils with greater ease than normal, although this has no effect on humans or mundane objects that exist naturally in Earth, and would have a more limited effect on half-devils.
Name: Silent Equivocation
Description: A custom-made, black .44 caliber Handgun usually fitted with a silencer due to the discreet nature of Orochi's operations. Other than having a silencer it is a fairly ordinary handgun, although it's unusual to see a .44 caliber round used in something other than a revolver or rifle.
Upgrade Points: 0
Upgrades: 0
Combat Foci
Name: Backstreet Brawler
Description: While Miyoshi knows and even teaches Karate at a local dojo, one doesn't tend to fare well in real, vicious fights relying on just one martial art. Miyoshi employs a mixed martial arts fighting style, mixed with what people used to only fighting in tournaments would call dirty tricks and low blows, and even use of weapons. He favors a lot of punching, keeping his legs planted, usually going for knees over kicks, and goes for particularly brutal hits. There's no ring, the goal is to incapacitate or kill your opponent as swiftly as possible and that means hitting hard, fast and aiming for the delicate parts of a body. It means grabbing whatever you can to bash someone over the head, and thus even compliments his spear work and means getting disarmed isn't the threat it is to others. He's far more likely to roll with it, just let go of the weapon and then punch you right in the throat.
Rank: D
Aspects: 0
Techniques

Description: With the Hard Water Knuckles adorning his fists, Miyoshi swings for his opponent, a good hard punch to some part of the body, the impact causing a torrent of water to appear between fist and target and then surge outwards with powerful force!
Focus: Hard Water Knuckles
Aspects: High Impact Water Generation
