@TheFake I'm curious. Think Rui-Ling would know of Sheridan? Seeing how the both of them are basically undead kiddos who do things related to souls? They could bitch about the younger generation together, while eating a fancy meal that neither of them actually need~
That would be awesome. I'd assume that all the people with abnormally long lifeapans would all know each other as well.

Appearance
Personality
Meticulous, methodical, and pragmatic. Kazuki is very level-headed, being a master of self-control and restraint. He radiates confidence and assertiveness, but is not overly so in either department. Though he won't miss any shot he has to be witty or sarcastic, for the most part he is straight-faced and calculating. He can and will relate most everything to mathematics or biology, though usually only does if it is actually relevant. Goal-oriented and as such seems heartless at times, but Kazuki makes up for this by treating most everyone with respect. At least until they disrespect him. While he may not be the most sociable or likable fellow around, he is certainly one of the most reliable and dependable.
Background
Born to an unremarkable middle-class family, most of Kazuki's young life was equally unremarkable. He had no siblings, he suffered no trauma. At least not until he was older. But we aren't there yet. He was quickly recognized as an intelligent being even in his infancy, but it wasn't until he entered public schooling was it realized the extent of how smart he was. His teachers heralded him as a genius and he was transferred to a private school. It was at the age of eleven, when he was serving his final year of secondary school, that Kazuki discovered he had supernatural abilities.
This came in the form of an experiment gone wrong. When he was building a small-time generator for a school project he accidentally activated the generator without providing fuel and without properly constructing it. The result should've been his own electrocution, but not only did he somehow turn it on but the unrestricted arcs of electricity did nothing to him. The accident wasn't easily concealed, and his parents discovered his new powers as well. The family decided to keep it a secret, coming to the conclusion that public knowledge of Kazu having supernatural powers would put all of them in danger.
Entering university at twelve years old was a daunting experience. Intellectually superior but physically inferior, he was subject to torment from the teenage and adult classmates. An easy target to bully, being a nerdy kid in a world of grown-ups. However, Kazuki was no small child and began learning how to fight. At fourteen he began working out too. By the time he was fifteen he was no longer being bullied. For all the years to come Kazuki maintained his peak physical condition though focused more on his education. Originally geared to become an engineer and make a living in a corporation, as he grew healthier he found his interests changing and decided he wanted to become a pediatrician.
Considering his parents were paying for his education, he had to come to a compromise. It was agreed that he could get a doctorate in both fields, so long as he could come up with the money himself for all the extra classes. Kazuki briefly took up a job as a paid intern. Despite having to juggle a job, his fitness, and his education he managed to succeed in all aspects and obtain two doctorates by the time he was twenty.
Kazuki initially worked in a public hospital, using his skills and his supernatural powers to diagnose and treat patients. While he was initially accepting of the pay, after meeting with a particular patient he realized that he could have a much higher standard of living if he operated in a different location under his own supervision. The young doctor applied for a loan to start his own practice and succeeded, opening his own office by the edge of downtown, closest to the high-class neighborhood. After hiring an assistant, he was all set and began a successful business at the age of twenty-five.
It wasn't until he was thirty that he learned of the Chasers and the Crimson Sky. A strange, unworldly beast attacked Kazuki and his assistant as they walked to their cars late at night. He wasted no time in using his supernatural powers to defend them, electrifying the creature to death. Two Chasers appeared the very second he killed the beast, identifying Kazuki as a man of interest. But at this point he was also interested, having no prior knowledge of the world he had just entered. Ever since that day he has worked with the Chasers, assisting them in the field and treating them at his office at no cost.
Powers
Electricity Manipulation - Kazu's primary ability is the generation, conduction, and manipulation of electricity. The electricity is first generated, the time spent generating determines the charge, before being expelled and manipulate for precise or destructive results, pending desire. Given enough time, Kazu can generate massive amounts of electrical power for various but awe-inspiring effects. Electricity can be generated and manipulated simultaneously, which maintains the power of the electricity being used for continuous flow.
Electrical Immunity - One of the side effects of electrokinesis. Total immunity to electrical damage regardless of voltage. The stability of his nervous system is impossible to disrupt as well.
X-Ray Vision - One of the side effects of electrokinesis. The ability to see through most materials that aren't thick or particularly resilient to radiation. Can be precisely controlled, to see specific depths through something. Kazu uses this to examine a patient or target's body to identify problems or weaknesses, pending scenario.
Electromagnetic Perception - One of the side effects of electrokinesis. Kazu can not only "feel" electricity within his vicinity but he can also feel the electromagnetic forces. This allows him to sense the presence of anything that disrupts the magnetic field within a short distance around him. While he can detect most anything, he cannot detect things like magic or spiritual energy. The effective range of his perception is approximately a 30m sphere around him. Beyond that it would have to be a significant disruption for him to detect it.
Technology Manipulation - One of the side effects of electrokinesis. By using electricity in small quantities and with incredible precision, Kazu can manipulate technology to a certain degree, provided the device/machine he is attempting to work with isn't completely insulated from the outside. From something as small as charging the battery to as big as reprogramming a supercomputer can be done, provided Kazu can focus and/or has the time to do so.
Skills
Doctorate in both Biomedical Sciences and Engineering.
Genius by birth. Able to make complex mathematical calculations rapidly without external aid, for example.
Master pediatrician and surgeon, thanks to his intelligence and his supernatural abilities.
Master boxer, winning the National League Heavyweight Boxing Championship when he was 20.
Incredibly fit, having only 10% body fat and enough muscle to land in the Heavyweight division.
Professional, capable of maintaining self-control and courtesy at all times. Largely resilient to stress.
Proficient in Japanese, English, Spanish, French, and Chinese. Mediocre in Russian, Arabic, and Swahili.
Weapons
Steel gauntlets with a gold finish. While sturdy and useful for adding extra damage to a punch, the gauntlets contain copper coils within the forearm area that can amass electricity Kazu generates. This in turn further empowers his punches by adding more force and electrical damage behind each blow, cranking him up from peak human strength to superhuman strength. However this generates a lot of heat, something that Kazu isn't resistant to, and thus cannot be powered for extended periods of time. The coils are cooled by exposing them to fresh air and waiting approximately a minute before putting them back in. In this state the gauntlets are still usable for combat but are prone to having the coils directly damaged (as they are no longer protected by the steel).
These are usually worn at all times, concealed underneath black gloves and hidden by the coat sleeves.
Equipment
4G Smartphone for communication and Flappy Bird.
Eye patch to cover his glass eye.
Key chain, containing keys to his suburb house, BMW sedan, mailbox, office, etc.
First aid kit, for field dressing the injuries of his allies or himself.
Other
Dislikes loud music, as sufficiently powerful sound waves can slightly affect the magnetic field and thus bother him. It would be the equivalent of a light but constant buzzing noise for normal humans.
As an actual doctor, Kazu is a self-employed and licensed practitioner that operates out of his own office in the downtown area. Though usually his work is pediatrics for the upper-class, he occasionally performs life-saving surgeries for criminals who do not wish to attend a public hospital. Regardless of the morality of his patients, Kazuki makes a lot of money and thus lives upper-middle class in the suburbs.
Kazu's role as a Chaser is something he considers "part-time work" or "a hobby". He has no problems with working with others as a team, in fact preferring to do so rather than operating solo, but occasionally he wishes to work by himself simply to test his abilities. When working as a team he maintains a supportive role, prioritizing the health and safety of his teammates over direct combat.
Shiina's used to Rui-Ling's attitude. Since I never do say how old she is, she could very well be older than the resident immortal.
Reading through Rui-ling's CS again, it strikes me that he's not even a full century into his immortality yet which would make Sheri his senior by a large margin.
@j8cob You're ok. Proceed like everyone else, please.
Just a small announcement, people. Tonight is the last of my exams, so I'll put forth a post either when I get back from college (if I'm not too tired) or when I wake up tomorrow. SO, the RP is kicking of in not much longer than 12 hours.
Once mre, sorry for the big wait and thank you for joining this RP.

A large margin by human terms. But pshaw, a century or two is nothing for immortals~
Anyways, Rui-Ling would be way better off if he was a few centuries older. Coulda just bought Google and Apple stocks using his centuries of economic experience or whatever and became a rich man.
