Character Description
Physical Appearance(s): Eguchi is a very handsome man, especially in his own opinion. With a beautiful face, and long black hair that goes just past his shoulders, lustrous and glossy, every feature of his face is the perfect image of a pretty boy. The only mar is a scar running along his right cheek and up between his eyes. He says it only adds to his charm.
His physique is slender and wiry and he tends to dress in colorful patterned suits. Leopard patterned jackets, pink jackets, striped, with dark colored shirts, usually unbuttoned to show part of his chest. He keeps himself very clean shaven as well.
Personality: Vain is a very easy way to describe Eguchi. He puts a huge amount of time into his appearance, and is extremely happy to flaunt it as well. In fact, if someone seems to not notice his appearance he gets irritated, even insults seem to please him as much as compliments do. This has lead to many viewing him with distrust or having low expectations of him, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Part of his vanity is in being able to do a good job, and he does do a good job. There was a reason he was picked to join the Hidaka family, and he's quite a skilled and capable young man. He just thinks that one should put effort everywhere. He shouldn't just look good he should look fabulous and do fabulous work! People who don't seem to understand that only amuse him and he seems to take a great pleasure in goading them and playing into what they expect.
Backstory
Eguchi was born the son of a Yakuza father, the true head of an entire family and as a result wanted for absolutely nothing. Everyone respected him, everyone was wary of hurting him, and everyone expected of him. As a teenager he could have basically whatever he wanted, even get people killed on a word, but he realized as his teenage years began to approach adulthood that people also thought less of him in a distinct way. A spoiled brat who would never amount to anything, look at how flamboyant he was, how he dressed. He'd probably fuck up the first job he was actually given.
It was a sentiment that angered him, and he was determined to prove them wrong. Incompetent? Him?! Unfortunately he'd get his chance to prove he was actually capable, when his family was taken over by a rival family, his father killed, and Eguchi suddenly at the bottom rung, spared only out of some passing mirth of the head of the new family he was part of. Now Eguchi had to work hard, and really earn all those luxuries, really prove he was capable...and he did.
He proved himself as reliable and capable, there was no one better at navigating a city on foot, on outrunning cops or other toughs. He could deliver damn near anything and fast, and was by all accounts, extremely frustrating to fight. He did prove himself, and rose up despite the circumstance of being the son of a deposed Yakuza father. These traits made him an excellent pick as the Orochi families formed, although his vainglorious attitude and behavior, now only reinforced by his genuine success without having to change a thing about himself, gave many a sour impression of him. As a result he found himself as a subordinate in one of the hunter squads, but it doesn't seem to bother him much. As long as he does good work that he can be proud of, and as long as he can afford the things to make sure he looks as fabulous as he knows he is, it doesn't really matter.
Traits
Exceptional Hearing
Eguchi's hearing is particularly excellent, it's how he learned of what people really thought of him, it was how he avoided countless traps and ambushes or became aware of them across his life. It's a useful thing to have and one of the reasons he was picked for hunting.
Extreme Agility
Parkour, acrobatics, Eguchi isn't particularly fast, especially compared to his squadmate Tsukiko, but he is extremely agile, his devil hunting training only enhancing this. Running along walls(briefly), crazy flips, squeezing into tight spaces and near misses are a regular thing for him, and perfectly fit his flamboyant nature.
Equipment
Name: Crow-feather Canister
Description: A specialized canister, disguised as a can of hair spray, the inside is empty but lined with kanji. With the right means it activates, summoning a feather of Yatagarasu inside, which can then be ignited for potentially a number of benefits.
Upgrade Points: 2
Upgrades:
Crow-feather Smoke (Aspect-Like)
The feather in the canister is ignited, the smoke filling the container, trapped within, to be released when the nozzle is depressed. The resulting smoke has healing properties, mending the wounds of those its sprayed over, to keep them fighting longer.
Name: Silenced Sub-machine Gun
Description: A stylish sub-machine gun, colored silver, including the silencer. It's a fairly typical weapon using 9X19 Parabellum rounds.
Upgrade Points: 0
Upgrades: 0
Name: Chained Vanity
Description: A deliberately ironic name, the chain of Narcissus is quite simply, a metal hook on a long chain, requiring a great deal of skill to use. It functions as a grappling hook in a sense, but is mostly used to keep foes at a distance, much to his preferred method of dealing with enemies. It is very beautifully made though, every link carefully polished and shining.
Upgrade Points: 1
Upgrades:
Resilient (trait-like)
The material this Arm is made of is extremely tough, or it has been made tough through magical or technological means. This allows the Arm to resist damage much more than any regular object of the same type.
Combat Foci
Name: You're Not to Touch Me
Description: Eguchi's preferred form of combat is 'at a distance' not in the sense of sniping, but in keeping his enemies at at least arms length. He uses his agility and acrobatics to facilitate this, doing his best to ensure they don't even scrape his clothes as he moved away, using long ranged melee weapons like his chain or opening on them with firearms rather than risking getting his clothes ruined.
Rank: D
Aspects: 0
Techniques
Name: Smoking Heals
Description: With the Crow-Feather Canister filled with smoke from burning a feather, he sprays it over himself or an ally to heal some of their injuries.
Focus: Crow-Feather Canister
Aspects: Crow-Feather Smoke
