Tsukiyama Fujino | Michiko Orinatsu

---

Tsuki was always proud of her surrogate child's ability to observe, she figured a lot of it had stemmed from having to basically survive in a figurative "land of giants", at his age. A memory surfaced of what she had been like at his age and she silently thanked the gods as she watched Ren work out what she and the "others" had surmised. Of course nothing was guaranteed but Ren's correct assessment with no prior knowledge about how weird the "cargo" they were storing away, was worrying Tsuki enough that she felt like maybe, just maybe, there really was something deeper happening with the Forgotten. However before Tsuki, could praise him, the other gang members began filing in, quite the colorful group she had collected over the last five years, but the correct group to trust her back too.

Akane had been first to enter, despite not being present for the call to meet, and had successfully retrieved one of the two shipments that the Autoshop had reported as a no show. She figured someone up the delivery chain got a bit handsy and originally she was going to handle it. But Mich's insistence, coupled with reassurance from Ren that he would handle any potential...mishaps was enough for Tsukiyama to let Akane go on her first solo mission. Though she neglected to let the fox eared woman know that the shipments had been insured and were already in route to the Kurotori building. Or the fact that it really was to send a message to any other potentially grubby handed imports manager to stay the fuck away from shit with the Kurotori's name on it. The iron smell wafting off her blade, was confirmation enough that Tsuki choose the better option in not telling her, heavens only know what phone calls she would be getting otherwise. A glance to Mich, who quickly did a scan of the local Jaeger Radio Frequency, coupled with only a message on the Sakanoshita 5 News network displaying that some type of electrical explosion had happened in Sector 5 of the District, exactly where the shipments had been tracked too. Mich's thumbs up, made Tsuki sigh with relief, and snap, teleporting the box into the Garage where JV would catalogue and put away the now extra parts they had "rescued". Tsuki motioned for Akane to come closer to the table "I'm excited to hear what's become of the people brave enough to steal from me, but it'll have to be later, we're having a meeting in a few, just hang out for now". Out of everyone, Akane's relationship with Tsuki seemed to puzzle her the most. The fox woman could very easily be more than what Ren bargained for when he brought her home all those years ago, but she seemed to respect the old lady despite her loose cannon attitude and Tsukiyama certainly wasn't in the business of breaking what doesn't need fixing.

Quickly filing in after Akane, was Mumeiki, thought Tsuki had figured he would've been the first to show, given his attitude towards the gang. Even with Mich spending time to try and figure out, and help Mumeiki though the transition of "Freedom", Tsuki couldn't help but feel like the man was still following some level of command and was incapable of perceiving what he had as free will. Doubly so when Ren would absent mildly talk in hyperbole to the metal man. On multiple occasions, despite him being with the group the shortest amount of time, Tsuki was mystified in Mumeiki's absolute command following. No amount of explanation seemed to help so far, and Michiko was under the impression that he might still actually be locked behind a command from before Tsuki and Company had trapped him. Though she had prefaced all of this without having, or rather, not wanting to pry into the mans mind and body without his explicit permission. Some weird sense of Zero-Percenter comradery, or at least that's what Tsuki read between the lines on why Mich hadn't just opted too jump into Mumeiki's mind yet, despite the several months he had been working with them. She opted to give the man a smile and motion for him to get a bit closer as more would show up.

Frost's nonchalant behavior was refreshing to say the least, the huge woman reminding her of the "family" she was forced to leave ten years ago. She did miss it occasionally, not the Government bullshit, but the seemingly life long comrades she had fought and survived with for most of her life. She missed not having to be responsible for anything other than her squamate's and students. Now she couldn't go more than a day before something required her attention, even with the help she had brought in. Without them and Michiko? Tsuki shivered at the prospect of having to run the WHOLE operation herself again. When Frost had appeared with the other Jaeger's sent to kill her, it sort of sparked the idea that maybe it was time to expand her employee base, especially if the JF was breaking their deal and hunting her again. She winked at the woman in reply, before Michiko sat on the arm of the chair, bringing her legs up to her chest and resting her head on her knees, the preroll Tsuki had given her, hitting her like a ten ton truck.

"I was worried when I saw how cheap they were selling it for, but I'm glad, come by room sometime later, I have more things I need you to try out for me" she stretched her upper body and sat back, propping her elbow, and by proxy, her head that came to rest on an open palm, on Frost's shoulder. Retracting the spikes up and down her body so they wouldn't poke the huge woman. Out of all the new gang members that had joined since Tsuki officially started operating under the Kurotori, Frost had been one of her favorite. She didn't seem to care that Mich was a chrome body, or that Mich had been exceptionally smaller then herself. And Frost love for guns had been a happy bonus that satisfied Mich's third qualifier for a potentially good friend. "Mama and Boy Wonder recovered some information on some...weird irregularities in two of the main Forgotten Trafficking Hubs, though I think Ma is holding out until everyone gets here" a subtle nod from Tsuki at the projection table confirmed Mich's assumption. "Oh and our Lieutenant here, from what I can gather, failed one of the infamous "Tsuki Stress Tests" but he was being broody about it so I'd leave that one alone" saying the last part a little quieter with a teasing smile, knowing full well that Ren could still probably hear her.

Tsuki sighed at the mention of the earlier argument that Ren and her seemed to closest right now, worried it might spark another argument but Shoshiku entering very quickly shifted her mind away from the comment, hoping Ren would follow suit. Shoshiku, much like Mumeiki and Michiko, was a testament to the horrifying capabilities of their day and age. When Mich had found the similarly tiny woman, and explained roughly what she was to Tsuki, Tsuki had figured Michiko joking. Just twenty years ago, someone like Shoshiku wouldn't have been as "functional" as she was. It would have been something not too dissimilar from Science Fiction, but there were moments when the woman's movements would remind Tsuki, she wasn't all just "herself". Mich offered a wave to Shoshiku to come sit with Frost and her on the enormous couch, no doubt Mich picking up that it would probably be easier for the little woman's body to take the stress of her body. The two had spent a lot of the previous missions together in the Van that Tsuki had bought for them both to use as a base out on missions. Though Tsuki hadn't been able to ask how that had been going in some time, and Mich never opted to bring it up in whatever little time the two spent alone together.

A text from Enrique popped up on the projection table for Tsuki to see, apologizing for being late but to start the meeting without them. Tsuki only worried for a moment, before swiping the message away and turning to the Gang.

"I hope everyone was using their free time well, if our Lieutenant and I turn out to be right about our assumption, I don't think we'll have much of it in the near future" turning to the table, she flicked two pictures up marked Site A and Site B:

Site A:

Site A Info

The Forgotten's infamous Fight stadium and Night Club "The Losseum", once a hallmark Fighting Arena venue for the Y.U.F (Yokai'Kuma Ultimate Fighter), now turned by the Forgotten's Number 3 Boss, Korobei, into an illegal gladiator ring, with a pulsing adrenaline junkie attracting club around the lowered pit in the middle of the ground. Very much an enter at your own risk establishment, and they're said to average at least thirty "accidental" club-goer deaths a night. Yokai death matches, all out five versus five Y.G Brawls and the occasional Y.S.G Wave Survival match, were but a few of the various "Gladiator" games that can take place each night. The catch however, is that Gladiator's are all voluntary, building a "roster" of reoccurring fighters who have lived through the hell matches in the stadium. Thrill and fame seekers alike have flocked to the club, to join the infamous ranking screen, an enormous screen reaching from the bottom of the mock colosseum to the very top of the high walls, with a list of the top twenty gladiators of the current year. While the Gladiators wait for their respective matches, they employ the club as bouncers and security, and until now, it was always the assumption that The Losseum was dangerous enough to warrant so much security.

The information that Michiko was able to pull from the datashards revealed that the real reason for employing the volunteers was an unknowing front for guarding one of the four main trafficking hubs under Korobei's operation. An underground multi-purposed, labyrinth of halls, storage rooms, and various other facilities. This underground compound is one of the biggest trafficking hubs from what Michiko could uncover without the two other datashards lost in the previous mission Tsukiyama and Ren had gone on. It also appeared to be involved in some level of research and developments in god knows what, considering the person in charge of it's operations. As such, not only is the security above the facility stacked with anywhere from 10-20 Gladiators waiting for their matches or passing the time and separate security team of ten Y.G and five Y.S.G holders, but an equally stacked team waits below for any possible signs of trouble. State of the art camera and motion detection systems are layered through out the facility and a small "army" of fifty men patrol and protect the facility and it's assets from anyone crazy enough to try and break in. There's no telling what other means of protecting the facility exist and Michiko wasn't certain whether the number of men and patrols was for intruders or for whatever was being locked away behind parts of the facility that even Mich couldn't get access too through the Datashard and would have to be on site to manually connect.

Key Targets to Watch out For:
Boss Korobei doesn't visit, or operate the Hub and Club personally, however, he gave two powerful Y.G sibilings free reign to run the operation how they see fit, so long as they never lose any "product" and kept the business as profitable as possible. They only occasionally have to meet Korobei at his base of operations, or talk over the phone to touch base and check in with the man.

Renshu (Age 25) & Meilin Luó (Age 24), were born to the date and time, one year apart, and in some twisted way, made them kindred flames in everything but gender. Renshu and Meilin are both cruel, calculating and ferocious in the same way you'd feel if you happened to be stalked in the jungle by two tigers. They may not come from money, or business, but did they damn sure know how to run the Lossuem and are in large part the reason for all of it's success, both legal and not. Without Renshu's ability to control the earth where he touched, they wouldn't have been able to build not only a unique, but incredibly stable underground bunker, with the crushing weight of the colosseum and it's venue, maxing out at five thousand attendance limit. He also is responsible for it's confusing design of dead ends and double backs, being something like the only living map of the entire facility. Meilin however was the crux of the unique "monitoring" system, able to communicate, control and grow plants within a mile of herself instantly, she can use any plants, whether her own grown, or natural ones in the area to spy and see through said plants. She is constantly monitoring the entire facility and club itself and is in large part the biggest obstacle to a quiet approach. Both siblings have deep seeded appreciation and gratitude for Korobei, and will do ANYTHING short of killing each other, to satisfy and keep the man happy. He is the first person to see their value after all, though who knows if that was by design or not.

(The roster for who else will be there will be shown at the beginning of the mission to give you an idea of what else they might encounter)

Site B Info

The "Stashhouse" is a 30 floor mega building that Korobei bought very quickly after him and the other three bosses came into power over the Forgotten. Some say it's the megabuilding that he grew up in, and he gained ownership in order to rid the building of it's more "Seedier" residents. And for the first 20 floors, this holds true in a way that the Stashhouse is often referred to by it's residents as a Sanctuary and as such are incredibly hostile to newcomers and intruders who don't live there. Of course this was all a front for the top ten floors, a brilliant idea that Boss Korobei came up with, using the tenants below to guard and keep watch for him. Each floor until the 20th floor, is much like it's own community, almost entirely shelf sufficient from the city outside the megabuilding. Each floor can hold anywhere from 200-500 tenants at a time, and that's not even including the numerous families that sprout on each floor. Each floor has a "Head" Tenant, who is responsible for making sure the rules of the building are being upheld and that each tenant needs are being met. They also double as rent collectors and report to the "Landlord" of the megabuilding whenever they encounter a problem they themselves cannot handle. Each floor progressively gets more hostile to outsiders and visitors, with a harsh warning after floor 20 to "enter at your own risk". Only the most emboldened and brave dare to venture further than the 20th floor, most never coming back. Even the tenants of the floors below, never venture into any of the ten floors above them, the unlit and wretched floors above holding all manor of seedy individuals and beings never meant to exist on a physical plane. No one knows if it's a Y.S.G ability users doing, or a deal with Korobei that made the 21rst-30th floors tenants nothing short of horrific and cruel to any unfortunate soul that dare enter their halls.

It is here on these floors that the true operation takes place, the Landlord using his shadow abilities to snuff out most light on any of the windowless floors, he can move himself and others by shadows, and as such, never has to move through the first twenty floors to move "assets" for Korobei's trafficking operations. Most of the rooms that hold the slaves and the yokai for sale didn't even have doors, the only way to get in being by force or being using the Landlords ability. As you can imagine, that meant the Stashhouse was used for some of the more powerful individuals and monsters that were better left kept in the dark before being sold off. There's little intel on what exactly is guarding the top 10 floors, but from what Michiko could gather, it had to be a mix of shadow based ability users and shadow ability yokai, with the Landlord having some way to control all of them with a "shadowy" grasp so to speak.

Key Targets to Watch out For:

The Landlord

While he cant be found on any specific floor, the nameless man known as the "Landlord" is a man of little words. Even when Head Tenants contact him for help, the only warmth that can be found on the man, would be a curt smile whenever the trouble had been handled by him, followed closely by him disappearing into his own shadow and black smoke. No one knows where he came from, how Korobei was able to bring the Landlord under his control, or why he only does what's asked of him. Michiko is under the impression that his brain might have been tampered with, something the Forgotten would absolutely work with the Tormented on. The scope of his powers is undefined, only because no ones been able to record or live through an encounter, but from first hand accounts of tenants present when he deals with a problem on the 20th floor and below. He has absolute command over shadows in any given space he's in, he can move between them, form shadow constructs, and while it's not confirmed, some tenants have gone on record saying when he appears, the very shadows in the space seem to move and whisper. Whether that mean he hides yokai in the shadows he controls is undeterminable, but shouldn't be ignored. At all cost, try to avoid direct contact with the Landlord, else you might have bit off more than you can chew,

Similar to the landlord, all ten "Tenant Heads" are nameless and some even faceless, obscured by the shadow based abilities they hold. Michiko was unable to determine ANYTHING regarding the ten, besides the fact that they all share the same powerbase and it seemed like the Landlord was the tether that was keeping them all connected via their powers. Think of them as extensions for the Landlord to watch the top ten floors without having to compromise the operation with security systems that could be hacked into. They all seem to share similar powers to the Landlord, save for some unique twist on the last five Head Tenants.

"Im sure you guys know about both these places, they've gained their own infamy for a multitude of reasons, and until today, we had no reason to pay either place a visit. With the help of our lovely resident Metal Girl, we were able to uncover the illegal operations taking place within the Legal businesses Korobei has been operating for several years now" she took a second for everyone to get a chance to read over the various information showing up on the big screen, and the screens hanging in front of the couch Michiko had used earlier. Lighting one of her rolled cigarettes, she continued after a smoke filled exhale "I know I've said to steer clear of the Forgotten's path, save for when absolutely necessary, but that changes starting today. The increase in Zero-Percenters disappearances in the area has been increasing by the day, and while I couldn't act on it without any evidence, and accidently start a Gang War, your Lieutenant and I have a hunch something bigger is happening. We were only able to recover the last six months of the establishments "shipments" that frequently come and go through the day, and The Forgotten seem to be hoarding Zero-Percenter and powerful Yokai "Stock". So much so, they're storing them haphazardly because of the influx of so much stock." She let her words sink in for a second, taking a drag "While Korobei has always dealt in Yokai and Y.G/Y.S.G holders, he always stayed away from Zero-Percenters and Powerful Yokai, the former having little value these days and the latter being more risk than I thought the Forgotten Number 3 would be willing to take on."

She ashed the joint in her hand and teleported the ash to somewhere off in the sky, before swiping on the projection table with her free hand. Partially completed maps that Michiko was able to make from the information kept on the Datashards gave them a rough idea of where too start on both Sites, but once inside both illegal operations, they were going to be mostly blind. "Two missions, both with the same objective, and I dont care if we go in loud or quiet. We'll be looking to locate the Main AkumaServers and gleam any and all data we can get on the two remaining Trafficking Hubs that Korobei operates. I also want to rescue as many of the slaves as they have, save for those who are too far gone. The Yokai are an added bonus, and could easily become the distraction needed to cover our tracks. But above all else, we're going to disrupt and destroy their operations as best we can, Korobei should have never touched the people who've come to rely on the Kurotori, questions or concerns?" she turned to the group, arms crossed, joint in mouth, her eyes reading the group.

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

@Pumpkinlord@Estylwen hey guys im really sorry but I think im gunna have to bow out on this one, My RP is taking a lot of my drive and focus away and I don't want to hold you guys up, best of luck!

Tsukiyama Fujino | Michiko Orinatsu | Ren Fujino

Mich found herself in her room, looking over the largest screen located on her desk littered with unfinished products. Smoke filled the air, another puff filling the empty spaces where oxygen might run too in the immediate area around the woman's computer chair. Her eyes fixated on the current scene at the bar, tonights band running through a sound check of their set for later tonight. The music wasn't necessarily her speed, but she could appreciate their artistry enough, it took guts to perform at the Tori Bar on a Friday, doubly so after only a couple week night gigs. Moving the camera with one of her many cybernetics, the bartenders and wait staff seemed to be having a meeting, or more listening to the band sound check, while testing out new drink specials for the weekend. The head manager of the club, Sae, seemingly knowing Michiko was watching, gave a wave and a wink to the camera, making Mich huff smoke out her nose in amusement. Tsukiyama had hired Sae only a year ago, but the woman proved exceptionally skilled in taking over Tsuki's duties to free up the old lady's schedule. Being quiet about her private life and how she ended up on Tsuki's doorstep had really bothered Mich, the woman had a habit of taking in strays. Though they always seemed to give back to Tsuki tenfold, so she couldn't blame the woman, good help was hard to find in Sakanoshita, doubly so for trustworthy help. It also helped the woman was more than capable of handling herself, a powerful YG holder with the ability of coercion. Mich had originally been slightly adverse to the thought of letting the woman work and manage the bar, but Sae had more than made up for Michiko's doubts a couple times. Tsukiyama also never seemed to ask Sae if she wanted to be apart of the gang strangely enough, whatever they had talked about when she showed up at the bar one morning looking for a job, was enough for Tsuki to not press for such a powerful ability to be apart of the of the gang's arsenal. It wasn't Mich's business anyways, as long as she could be trusted to keep the ship upright, it was good enough for the chrome woman.

Shifting her view below gave her vantage of another camera feed over the fast building line of people waiting to get into the bar. A quick scan over the crowds' faces, coupling with her accessing their pre-registered patron files, or making one for the new customers coming for the first time. Typing on the keyboard in front of her, she quickly had the camera begin taking over the task automatically of scanning the future patrons, cigarette going out as it hung in her mouth. A couple of big red flags popped up here and there, a single thought from Mich sent over the profiles flagging as a precaution to the security team lead Io. The old vet apparently had worked with Tsuki in the early years of her career doing what Michiko could only assume was Special Forces adjacent work. She didn't pry into either of the two's backstory they briefly gave her when Tsuki introduced the old man: not when he came with ten other vets looking for a good full time gig. Behind the cool and friendly exterior, was a man who'd seen more than his fair share of fighting. Mich's memories of the old man absolutely beating the ever living shit out of a patron who touched Sae fluttered through momentarily. The old man sent her a thumbs up message, no doubt having already been briefing the team on what they would be looking out for tonight. The Tori bar policy was anyone's welcome back, but repeat offenders were left with a little more agressive of a reminder why they already had strikes; Tsuki's weird way of trying to create a space for their pocket of Sakanoshita for anyone, even the unsavory to have a safe space. Io and his men did more than his part to uphold this value. By now most people know not to fuck around when Io was around, and not to fuck up a good thing Tsuki had created. She relit her cigarette and pulled up the amount of tickets they'd sold for tonights special admission only show, a thousand people was just a hundred people shy of a full house. Die hard fans that the band had no doubt cultivated at the bar. Ashing her cigarette, she waved a hand and the camera feed swapped to the Fujino Motorwrx inner five garage wide auto shop.

Dozens of cars on lifts were further into the shop, with a couple motorcycles littered through out. They were definitely packed for the rest of this month. Mich spotted a car even their master mechanic, Jeri Valentinez (JV for short), had needed her help on at the beginning of the month, still lifted in the air. Jeri angrily stared at something just shy of the middle of the car. The man wasn't much older than her, and had also been a stray Tsuki "adopted" from Heita. They had run into each other before, usually during scrambles to scavenge whatever usable tech that laid in the Neo-Cities dumps, but had never made much conversation before Tsuki asked if she knew any trustworthy mechanics. He had never stole from her, and had even silently helped her in several cases, and had made a rep for helping the many orphans who had either lucked their way into a vehicle or "reappropriated" assets from other districts. He had personally created the group of mechanics that now filled Fujino's huge garage and had become just as much a member of Tsuki's weird family as the others. He was a Zero-Percenter like Mich too: just opting to stay fleshy. Though never outwardly to Michiko, she could feel his confusion on her choice to forego her skin and opt into whatever she was now, but it never bothered her, she understood this wasn't for everyone. An incoming call from Tsukiyama pulled her focus for a second.

Her eyes lit up as she answered. "I take it something didn't go according to plan, considering you're," she pulled up the bike's location, still five minutes out from the Kurotori's building, "Two hours late from when you were suppose to be back." she sat back in her chair watching Tsukiyama and Ren's bike weaving through traffic as she synced up to the local cctv cameras.

"This fucking kid is going to be the death of me I swear..." Tsuki spoke to the small earbud she had in her ear, glancing over her shoulder despite knowing Ren was keeping up. What was suppose to be a simple robbery of a Forgotten Safehouse, quickly turned into firefight and a subsequent Yokai Outbreak from the chaos. She had never seen an outbreak happen so fast, and Ren losing his focus, or rather losing his want to listen to her only made for MORE chaos. An hour job quickly turned into an hour of fighting to get back to their motorcycles and another hour of losing their tail before heading back to their portion of Sakanoshita. She wanted nothing more than throttle her son, but also knew it was part of the deal of taking him along. Why did an outbreak happen so fast anyway, was filling her brain as they pulled into the packed Garage, JV walking over before she came to stop with Ren close behind. Teleporting off her bike, she grabbed Ren by his wrist "Boy, why in gods name can you not just take a second and THINK!" Tsuki raising her voice got most of the workers attentions, prompting JV to clear his throat, making everyone go back to their previous tasks.

"Alright guys, how about we take quick break and clear shop for a couple minutes," JV meeting Ren's eyes and shaking his head, no doubt leaving him out to dry on his own this time. Ren rolled his eyes at JV in response. The other mechanics followed JV into the break area that they shared with the club, leaving Ren to contend with a pissed off surrogate mom. Michiko had already turned off her monitors, unhooking the tube that was feeding her the YoJuice that powered her fuel cells. A way to not have to waste Fuel Cells while in her room and doing one of the many jobs Tsuki had tasked her with. Stepping over more unfinished projects, she placed a hand on the stone wall of her room and a panel popped free, sliding to the side and revealing seven full fuel rods. Pulling one out and quickly plunging it into her chest with a twist, she turned on her heels, finishing her cigarette and tossing it on top of an ashtray in dear need of being emptied of butts. JV sent a message that came up in her vision as floating text box.

"Tsuki and Ren are fighting aga-"

"I'm already on my way, just stay out of the garage for now." She responded, having left her room and already in the elevator heading down to the Garage. Another cigarette already lit, dragging hard was the only indicator on the woman's face of the stress of having to keep Tsuki from destroying any of the cars that may lay in her warpath to discipline Ren.

---

"It wasn't my fault! Actually, you should be thanking me! I saved your ass!" Ren protested against Tsuki's frustration with aggression of his own, his ragged, sandpapery voice barking out protest. His wings flared out behind him, and Little Orochi swayed from side to side, a low hiss escaping its reptillian mouth. "I knew that shit was gonna go crazy, so I struck first and I dealt with it!" He tugged his wrist free of Tsuki's grasp, cloven hooves clopping a few feet back across the concrete floor of the garage. He pointed a claw at her and snarled, then frowned, and dropped his arm to his side. Sighing, he said, "I'm only doing what I think is best." He ran dark claws through his fiery hair. "Does that even compute for you? I'm not just fucking around! This is serious shit, and I take it seriously." Just like that, the aggression resurged, though in tones more muted than before. Little Orochi had grown quiet, but stared at Tsuki with a piercing, imperceptible gaze. Perhaps it wondered: what did Tsuki think Ren was trying to accomplish?

Tsuki remained steel faced in Ren's response, though beneath the surface of her subdued emotions, raged a swirling mix of anxiety and sadness for what their relationship had turned into in the last five years. Taking a step, she once again appeared next to Ren. "Ren, since you were a child that needed me to blow on food that was too hot for you, to now, I have never doubted what you were capable of. But this is a bigger issue than you just jumping into action without truly thinking bigger than the moment." She grabbed his wrist again, gentler than before. Turning his palms up, she dropped nine bullets in them and closed his fingers around them. "These were aimed for your head. Nine times, you were so focused on priortizing my safety, you put yourself at risk. Do you think I ne-" Tsuki took a second to think and breath, changing her approach. "My Son, when you are on a mission with any one of our gang members, you HAVE to have faith that they'll take care of themselves in moments like those. It's not your job to play boy savior, even if it feels like you absolutely need to, and certainly not when you're surrounded by more than ten people. Assess your teammates capabilities, plan according to their percieved strengths and weaknesses, and above all have faith that every teammate can hold their own if they agreed to go on the mission." She let go and sighed, her eyes the only thing telling Ren her anger with his actions was more than just professional. Though before Tsuki could say more, Michiko and JV both came back to check on the state of things. There never seemed to be a time anymore for Tsuki to tell Ren her true feelings, and the call reaching Tsukiyama was further evidence the universe had no interest in helping their mother-son relationship rekindle for the time being. "We'll finish this conversation later, get everyone rounded up in the brief room and prepare to explain why we only have partial information on the job we have coming up" Tsuki looking at her son with mixed emotions before teleporting into her office to take the call.

Ren stared at the empty space where Tsuki had just been, nostrils flaring. He didn't even get a word in edgewise! And "later?" Oh boy. He simply couldn't wait for that mystical hour, after all of these years, to finally arrive! She was his mom, what the fuck else was he supposed to do if not look after her?

Mich's outstretched hand was met with cash that was tucked into the pocket of her hoodie vest, JV sucking air through his teeth and calling out to the other mechanics that break time was up. The chrome body girl tilted her head for Ren to follow her as she turned on her heels and spoke, "Wanna talk about it or just brood with your tail?" Half in jest to ease Ren's agitation, and half a genuine question.

At Mich's remark, Ren's head lolled in her direction. His serpentine eyes fixated on her own as they narrowed. Then he grinned lazily, revealing twin rows of sharp teeth. His forked tongue flicked in and out of his mouth as he barked a laugh, somewhat forced but good-natured in intention. He clopped up in a hurry to reach Mich's side, then moved along beside her at an easy pace. "Sweet of you to worry about me," He teased cheerily, rapping a knuckle against her plated shoulder. "It's almost like there's a real girl in there somewhere."

"Forget I asked." Mich said, shooting him a middle finger with what equated to a smile from the woman. Passing through the breakroom to the hallway and reaching the elevator, she called the elevator and gave the man a once over, if only just slightly worried for his wellbeing based on the small interaction she caught at the tail end of the two's conversation. "You do realize Ma is a retired soldier right? What got you so spooked, you think Tsuki wouldn't be able to handle getting caught up in a trap?" She never choose sides in their arguments, learning very earily on into living with the two, that it was better to ask questions, than volunteer her opinion on either of their actions.

At Mich's question, Ren looked down at the Little Orochi, who merely peered back at him passively. "I- Uh, I don't know. I was following my instincts, Mich. And she made me second in command for a reason. If she can't respect that I know what I'm doing then..." He trailed off aggravetedly, realizing his fist was still closed around those nine bullets. His temple throbbed. He didn't have a pile of munitions to dump into her hands, because he was more focused on dealing with the problem than preparing a teachable moment for once the fight was done. The bullets dropped from his fist and clinked onto the floor one by one. Every part of Ren's body was pressing him to turn back the way he had come, hop onto his motorcycle and buzz off to Little Paris or the Ultraviolet Quarter or the tunnels beneath Rictor Station. Anywhere that wasn't here. Instead he followed Mich into the elevator with a resigned groan. "So- You dating anyone yet?" It wasn't a serious question, not really. Ren was pretty sure he knew what the answer would be, but if it got them off the topic of Tsuki he might say just about anything at this point.

Mich's eyes glowed for a second, the elevator going further down despite no button presenting the option for a basement. Ren and Tsuki's relationship was wholly different from Mich and Tsuki, she also viewed the woman as a surrogate mother, and she understood what Ren was feeling, but she learned within the first two years of living with them that Tsuki never let her guard down, if only to create teachable moments. She reached to grab his shoulder as reassurance, until of course Ren ruined the moment. Instead, she opted to swat the back of his head. "Yeah because my jobs here give me so much free time to jump into the dating cesspool of Sakano. Is this your way of asking me out again?" She elbowed Ren in the ribs teasingly. Two years ago, Ren had seemed to work up the courage to ask Michiko out, to which he was unfortunately met with uncontrollable laughter from Michiko. It wasn't until she saw how disappointed and hurt Ren was after she wiped tears from her eyes, that she realized he was being serious. They had moved past it largely, if not for Mich never really talking about it. Michiko wasn't lying when she made the joke about free time, and besides the fact that they basically grew up together as adopted sibilings, Mich hadn't really had the chance to think about it. Didn't want to was probably more of truth of the matter. Don't break what's working, right?

"Are you- Can we not- No!" Ren sputtered, his gray-skinned cheeks tinging with purple. Mich always had a way of turning things around on him. Her and Tsuki both, it felt like. "One: How many years ago was that? Like three? Four? Two: Fuck you and die. Three: And I stress this one, fuck you and die, please." He folded his arms across his chest, peering at her with an expression almost resembling a pout. "I was just curious." The Little Orochi let out a hiss, and Ren's eyes darted down to it. "Shut up." They really were very different, Ren understood that. He also understood that he didn't really know almost anybody at all. Getting close to people outside the gang wasn't safe.

So yeah, he had shot his shot with the chrome queen herself. Why not?

"We both know, that you know, it was two years ago, and trust me, with the amount of tasks for me to do everyday, my demise is all but sealed and approved by Ma herself, no need for wishful thinking." The elevator doors opened onto their gang's hideout, but Michiko stopped at the threshold before and turned. "And if you're so curious, why don't you grow a pair and just ask me out again so there's no guessing?" Mich's expressionless face workedto hide if this was a joke or not.

Ren stared at her for a moment before rolling his eyes and walking past her out the elevator. "Yeah, right," He said. "Like I'm that dumb." He turned on a hoof and grinned at her, saying in a smug tone, "But if you ever realize you messed up with the only guy that thinks you might have a heart buried somewhere under all that metal, you know where to find me." With that, he strode away from her and into the hideout, calling over his shoulder. "I gotta rally the troops now. Sit tight chrome girl." The Little Orochi stared at Mich in silence as Ren departed.

Mich jokingly threw a finger into her mouth and gagged, following after him. Her eyes, once again showing some type of command given to the building, whirled the various machines to life in the room. Taking a seat in the semi circle booth of couches closest to the projection table they'd be using, she pulled out a freshly packaged box of cigarettes. A quiet pop rang in the air, as she sat back and lit another cigarette. Screens above the table gave her access again to look around the building, as it seemed the club was beginning to let people in for the preshow. "Ma said you guys only got partial intel for the mission, how partial are we talking here?" She wasn't looking at Ren, but she was watching him through one of the various feeds.

Ren went up and down stairs and down hallways, knocking on various doors and calling out, "Meeting in ten in the secret clubhouse lobby! Be there or face the wrath of Tsuki after a mission gone bad! If something's broken, keep it to yourself Frost! If any of you want to break something, keep that to yourselves too! That one's for you Akane! So everyone get your heads in gear, put away the dirty magazines and hurry up!" His charming call to arms sufficiently meted out, Ren returned to Michiko, sliding into the booth next to her. Only after snatching her cigarette out of her mouth and taking a drag from it did he answer her question, his tone sardonic and laced with feigned apathy. "Like fifty percent partial. No biggie though. It's only people's lives at stake, and the great mother bear only holds me one hundred percent responsible. Practically a success." He took a moment then to deflate, stealing the last few minutes he had to lean his shoulder against her own in a rare but not uncharacteristic gesture. Taking a final drag of her cigarette, he held it back up to her lips. In a slightly more dejected tone, he suggested, "We should go for a ride later. You're overworked. I'm sorely understimulated sitting around here. We should do something fun."

A real smile crept along the regularly blank faced woman. She couldn't hide how much she enjoyed riding, especially when it was chasing after Ren through traffic. At the sight of Tsuki walking towards the elevator located in her office, the smile quickly faded. "As much as I would love to, I don't think mother bear is going to be giving me any free time in the near future." It was one of Tsukiyama's tells Michiko picked up on these last ten years: opting to walk anywhere for the woman meant she needed time to think. And if Tsuki was thinking, it no doubt involved needing Mich for something. A deep drag finished the rest of the cigarette, Mich squishing the butt into the ashtray that sat next to her, this one also crying to be emptied and washed from Michiko's habit. "I'd like that though, honest." It was a rare moment of genuine emotion between the two that seemed to escape them the past couple of weeks.

Ren savored the fleeting contact a moment longer, uncaring that her metallic arm was icy-cool against the unfurred skin of his bicep, or that he had to position himself just-so to avoid her spikes digging into his arm. He looked and acted like an animal sometimes, and she could play the part of a robot pretty damn convincingly. Still, they were both human, and it was nice to be reminded of that fact sometimes. "Rain check then." He pulled away from her slowly, and muttered, "This oughta be good."

---

Tsuki stood still in the elevator, eyes closed, anger radiating through her for completely seperate reasons. She slowed the elevator with her power to give her longer than the thirty seconds it took to travel the five floors down to the hideout.

"Ms. Fujino, why do I find myself regretting my choice on letting you come play to the table?" The man on the phone's most recent statement was the most infuriating of all the conversation. As if he was her handler instead of a partner. The gall of the son of a bitch. It was Tsuki who was regretting deciding to act on her impulse and even open herself and the gang up to this chessboard.

A flash of the Rank 5 outbreak ten years ago that started all of this rang through the black behind her eyes, making Tsuki grab for the wall to her right. Her heart racing for a second before she brought herself off the ledge, she stretched her upper body and began taking deep breaths. So much was at stake and she was holding all the secrets, not wanting to worry the others in case this was all a big nothingburger. The culminated anxiety of a bunch of cynical old timers who happened to learn information they had no business learning, who all seemed to be incapable of letting the knowledge hide away in their mind and not act on what all amounts to a hunch. Tsuki let her power go, the elevator moving back to regular speed. Nonetheless, this is what she made the Kurotori for, the last five years since they had officially started taking jobs and marking their "territory" so to speak. Yet, never had they so outwardly messed with the Forgotten like they had hours earlier. So much so, it reached the ears of the asshole who sent them the job, and resulted in her getting reprimanded like a fucking babe. The doors to the elevator opened to the hideout, Tsuki walking in to see both her "kids" playing nice. At least some of the family seemed to get along most of the time. Tsuki opted to avoid eye contact with Ren out of sake for just being civil now. It's not his fault he wants to protect me. A sort of mantra she chanted in her brain to ice over any flames that still embered.

Mich used Ren's leg to push herself up, squeezing to tickle him playfully. Her vision snapped back to her body as she moved to stand next to Tsuki at the projection table. Still seated, Ren's cheeks colored.

"Do your thing kiddo." Tsuki tossed two small datachips at Mich, who caught them with her right hand, her left touching the table.

---

Michiko closed her eyes, a rainbow loading bar filling the black, before a section of Neo-City seemed to slam down all around her. One of the thousands of songs she had tied to her AkumaDeck's codebreaking minigame sounding meant that she was able to get through the first barrier of the encyptions protecting the two chips. A message box popped up giving her the goal of this specific crafted level: Storm this building and clear all three floors; ten enemies on each floor, with varying levels of resistance. A cheeky good luck punctuated the message before closing and a countdown from ten began. Michiko reached into her hooded vest, finding one of her trusty pistols in their holster. One of her axes also spawned in their holster along her arm, the game setting the rules for Michiko: One gun, one axe, have fun. It was simple enough. Bouncing on her feet and shaking her hands, as soon as the count down finished, she burst into a sprint and jumped through a first floor window, landing on an unsuspecting goon's spine feet first, a satisfying crack ringing out below her as she landed. She dove through a door directly in front of her as bullets rang out from the left of the hallway she had landed in. Three men quickly ran forward, taking cover to the side of the door, guns at the ready as the one in the lead motioned for them to breach the room. A metal hand ripped through the thin concrete wall, Michiko's hand finding the grunt at the back's neck and pulling inward, snapping it against the wall. Mich crashed through the wall into the second grunt, throwing him against the wall, before an axe found it's way into the lead grunt's neck. Michiko blew a loose hair from her face as she ripped her axe free while the three men disintigrated into digital particles. The soldier she initially had landed on crawled slowly towards their gun laying in front of them. A quick shot to the head digitized that grunt too, and a loud "FOUR!" rang out through the building. Michiko sighed, maybe she didn't need to make the game so mentally time consuming. Mich quickly broke into a sprint seeking her next targets-

---

Michiko's eyes fluttered open seconds later, pocketing the chips and her eyes lighting up. The contents of the two chips now presented themselves on the table for Tsuki to parse through. Tsuki teleported a preroll into Michiko's fingers, which looked hungrily for another cigarette as a tax for expending her mental energy. Time dilated in the codebreaking program, but her brain could only take so much thought processing before a blowback like the anxiety she felt creeping at the edge of her fingers. Tsuki winked at the girl. "Come over here my lovely son, I need your eyes for this before the others get here." Michiko, relishing in the reward of one of Tsuki's special cigarettes, quickly found herself eyeing the table and catching site of some horrific photos of a trafficking hub, averting her eyes to spare herself from anger in such a delightful moment.

Ren sighed loudly, pulling his body into a standing position with great effort as he turned up the dramatics to eleven. Clopping over to Tsuki, he snidely said, "Lovely son, huh?" His voice was sand and gravel, the words punctuated by an inhuman, slightly rumbling undertone. He saw Michiko enjoying her well-earned cigaratte out of the corner of his gaze, and privately wished he felt like enough of an asshole to steal it from her. They actually had a nice interaction today though, so no, it was better he let her enjoy herself. Plenty of more time in this day and future ones to piss off the people he cared about.

Speaking of.

"Here I am," He declared, raising his arms and then letting them drop to his sides. His wings briefly fluttered in their retracted state. "What?"

Tsuki sighed with patience even Buddha himself would struggle to find. "If you'd taken the time to even look at the table, you'd understand why I seemed to foolishly ask for your eyes here." Taking a step back and leaning against the railing separating the lowered portion of the floor the wall of screens and projection table called home, Mich, cigarette proudly lit in her mouth, stood next to Ren and started to shift through and throw pictures of dozens of live captured Yokai mixed in with cages of what could only be assumed to be Zero-Percenters. "Now please humour me, without the attitude, and tell me what you and the scaly one think about all these Yokai and Zero-Percenters gathered together could potentially mean." Another one of Tsuki's many lessons starting again.

Ren sighed, a sound mirrored by the hiss coming from the Little Orochi. It stared at Tsuki with beady eyes that gleamed in a near-accusatory fashion. "My tail isn't a fortune cookie, but sure, we'll take a look." Blasé as he acted, the longer Ren looked over the data, the more furrowed his brow became. "Okay. Definitely bears further investigation..."

All the while, concert-goers now fully flooded the club, the preshow already raging and the club in full service. Any of the members coming in through the club would have to wade through the ebb and flow of the full house. Customers came to pick up the projects JV had managed to finish for the night. Members who enter through the garage would be met with the hustle and bustle of the crew cleaning up for the night before going into the club to watch the main band play. Some also more than likely would probably be staying in their personal apartments above the club and autoshop. All patrons however, none the wiser that the gang's meeting would be taking place soon.

Tsukiyama Fujino/Kurotori's Leader

Tsukiyama Fujino | Mama Tsuki/Leader of the Kurotori

____________________________________________________ C H A R A C T E R I N F O R M A T I O N Name Tsukiyama Fujino Nicknames/Aliases Mama Tsuki | Lady Fujino | One-Eye'd Wolf of Sakanoshita | CodeName: Silver Tengu Birth City/District: -Redacted- Age: 55 Years Old Height 6'0 ft (1.84 m) Racial Background: Pure Blood Japanese Race: Y.S.G Natural Born (Who're often referred to as Shoguns in the mega-cities) Hair Color: Silver Eye Color: One Blue/One Grey Appearance: Tsuki has a vary intimidating aura and stature, said to be able to suck the air out of the room just by walking in. Standing at 6ft tall, she isn't necessarily the tallest person, but tends to be noticeable based on height alone. Being a part of the Jaeger, Tsukiyama has had to maintain her physical health for more than 25 years, and her body shows that. Underneath what typically is a black turtle neck, is an exceptional toned and built body, like that of an Y.S.G born and raised solider. The Jaeger program kept her on a tight training and maintaining regiment that, despite being ten years gone from the government position, she still follows the regiment to a T. She also has an uncanny beauty for being 55, seeming to have stopped aging in her 20s, having Y.S.G has prolonged her health and aging. Tsukiyama is riddled in dozens of scars all over her body, not just the ones present across face and up her neck. Being a Jaeger meant a lot of combat and skirmishes, having come close to dying several times, her scars are a window into who she was prior to becoming woman she is now. She also has a vibrant neon tattoo of a simple black swan at the back of her neck, near the base. Mutation Marker(s): She has one grey eye, that gives the illusion shes blind, but it simply it cloudy, seeming to be filled with mist almost. She also has the white wings of a crane that she can keep tucked to her body to seemingly disappear under her clothes. She also was born with long flowing silver hair that has never lost its vibrance. Personality: Its very long...sorry Tsukiyama is a very particular person for some with Y.S.G, once called too soft for being a Y.S.G Holder when she was younger. She is typically considered one of the most down to earth Y.S.G Holders many come into contact with residing in Sakanoshita. Especially for someone running a gang in the more seedy parts of Neo-Tokyo. Truth be told, she often thinks that the job isn't for her secretly, she feels like she should have been a doctor or care taker, but she'd learn it really doesn't matter what she thinks pretty early on in her life. Upon realizing she was a Y.S.G holder, or rather her family realizing, her life would be carefully laid out in front of her, never being allowed to stray from it. She would be forced to be perfect in every way, from her attitude, to her mannerisms, even the way she spoke would have to be eloquent and perfect. Because she was always told to put others before herself, this is where the base of her personality starts, a child who wanted to be perfect for a family that she could never be perfect enough for. Tsukiyama has a very calming personality much of the time, like that of a mother or a grandmother, because of her experience as both a mother and and a wife. She learned to deal with a lot of problems such bickering or disagreements and happens to have a very soothing voice that seems to want to lure you into a calming state or even sleep. She loves to go through problems with people and act like a mother or therapist giving her opinion on what they should do or say. She is over all the nicest when it comes to those sort of things and she loves helping others a lot. Even if they aren't the nicest, she tries her best to help out with even the smallest of others problems, whether it be physical or mental, she does her best to use her wealth knowledge and try and give the best advice she feels possible. The other gang leaders find her personality interesting as she strives to help even the evilest of people before having to fight. As long as its not killing the innocent, Tsukiyama will try help with almost, again almost, every task. Though there are some boundaries she will not cross, those involve her body, killing comrades and overall just wrongly hurting or extorting people. Those are the boundaries she will not cross even if her life is on the line and a sword is at her neck. She can also be much like a sage when helping people through physical hardships, helping them train, even save their sorry asses if need be. She gonna try her best to help the newbies out whenever possible, even ones that aren't going to be fond of her. If the person is willing, she do her best to help them train, just ask nicely and she'll do her best to make you stronger. This part of her comes from the fact that she no longer has Y.S.G Soldiers to train, having been ten years since she quit the J.F Special Forces. She loves giving advice that is honest regardless of if they will hurt your feelings, she will not lie to you even if it comes down to saying something mean, she only wants you to get better and if things need to be said then she will say it. Granted she does understand feelings and try to dial it back in certain situations, but for the most part, you will get the truth out of her and nothing less. In the event that she does lie to you, which rarely will happen, she would do it for the protection of not only herself but you and the people involved if it is that serious then at that point she will keep it to herself and only the people she is sure can handle it so that she does not cause mass panic. She does have a dark center however, her time as a Jaeger did harden her into a dangerous person. Gaining the name of One-Eye Wolf of Sakanoshita was not for nothing. She is exceptionally trained in combat scenarios, dealing with hundreds of missions in her 25 years working in the J.F military, 22 years of which were in the Special Forces division. Not only was she a member of the Jaeger Branch, but she also lead a squad for many years, before going on to become training director for the Jaeger Branch. She is a trained killer, with more then 500+ confirmed kills under her belt. She is not someone you want to cross, as underneath the sage like persona, lays someone ready to do ANYTHING is possible to keep her gang and people safe. Not many have seen her fight in combat, but the ones who have, have gone on to say that she becomes unrecognizable. As if she becomes an disciple of death itself, there is no one who has crossed her, breathing alive and well. TL:DR: Tsukiyama is the Mother of the gang, she’s looking out for not only her own but her surrounding community, and will do her best to guide them. But understand all circumstances, do not try to cross her or get on her bad-side, it might lead to an immediate dirt nap. Aspirations: -She tries and rise above the darkness that is Neo-Tokyo Gang Culture. -To better the lives of the people she leads and those that rely on her. -Supporting her local community and attempting to provide order in a district of chaos. -Hopefully one day wash away the sins that she committed as a Jaeger for the J.F -To disrupt the J.F at every turn and destroy any power they hold over Yokai'kuma. Fears: -The death of her Gang members. -Failing to better the lives of those around her. -Never being able to escape the shadow of her time serving the J.F. -The J.F's political policies and power. Vehicle: Mitsubishi Horizon ZR6 Tsukiyama has always been more partial to the older body styles of motorcycles from the past. When Mitsubishi announced they be making a retro bike, She could hardly contain her excitement. Thanks to her job with the government, and a high position at that, she was able to be one of the first to order and purchase one. Hers has a white base paint with gold and black trim, with the Kurotori symbol of the black swan as a decal on the right side of the bike. The bike is a hyrbid, capable of riding on the road, or switching seamlessly into its hovercraft mode. It is naturally faster on the road than on the hoverzones, as it is a retro build, capable of reaching speeds up to 250MPH. The bike has an active A.I system, that aids in keeping the Bike on the road at its top speed. The A.I system also has a An Active Protection Policy that keeps a small invisible forcefield around the bike when it's in motion. It does not disturb whatever it touches unless the A.I deeps it a threat to the driver. It also syncs to a special helmet that has a Heads up Display projected on the visor of the helmet. The bike requires a hand imprint cybernetic that acts as a biometric key. Meaning the bike cant be turned on or activated unless Tsuki remains in close proximity. P O W E R / C Y B E R N E T I C S I N F O R M A T I O N Strengths/Natural Abilities: -Redacted- Weaknesses/Flaws: -Redacted- Y.S.G Ability(ies): Base Ability: Object Displacement Within an invisible sphere of fifteen meters around Tsukiyama, she can teleport any object (living or Inanimate) that enters within the sphere of influence, anywhere within fives miles around her, either vertically or horizontally. There are some requirements for Tsuki to be able to use it on living objects. The most important requirement, is eye contact, not having to be longer than 3 seconds in total of uninterrupted eye contact is necessary for complete displacement. Otherwise she will either teleport a portion of the object, or be unable to control the direction and/or destination of the displacement. She also must stand still prior to attempting precise displacement, otherwise it can result in horrible disasters or accidents. She also is able to teleport herself freely within the sphere of influence, it appearing as though she's suddenly popping from place to place if you were to watch her use the ability on herself. Being a natural born Y.S.G, her power at birth were already pretty strong, accidentally teleporting her father into the sky above the hospital when he held her for the first time. She also happened to be a Y.S.G Holder, whose power had the ability to awaken twice. First Awakening: Object Acceleration/Deceleration Following in the same distance of Object Displacement, Tsukiyama is able to speed up or slow down living and nonliving objects within the sphere of influence. All the same requirements apply, this awakened portion of her ability requires even greater focus in order to use it precisely. She simply must think about the speed or lack of speed she wants in the object and she can enforce the change in speed immediately or gradually. She must maintain absolute focus if she wants to specifically use the ability on an enemy and not an ally also within the invisible sphere as an example. Meaning she is heavily vulnerable when attempting to use this portion of her ability precisely around her allies. From the perspective of a living object being subjected to this ability, they would totally be unaware of the changes at first, only simply feeling something was incredibly off. Quickly however, Living objects that were sped up would feel as if they were teleported, and the space around them seem to be moving in slow motion. Where as if they were slowed, they would feel as though they were slowly treading in wet cement, unable to control their forward momentum or actions. Time would appear to pass them at a terrifying speed, with no way to react properly. She also can apply these properties to herself if she chooses too. Second Awakening: Liminal Purgatory -Redacted- Soul Binder/Weapon(s): Kusarigama - A chained sickle-esque weapon with a spiked weight at the end. Tsuki soul binder is a perfect match for her, capable of close combat and mid ranged attacks. The weight on the end is said to be well over four hundred pounds, capable of destroying walls and the ground by a simple swing. If anyone were to pick up her soul binder or attempt to use it, they would quickly discover the weight of the weapon was outstanding, despite Tsuki wielding it as if it were no light than a feather. It's summoning and desummon effects consist of a mist that covers her abilities sphere of influence and lingers for ten minutes. Covered in battle scars and being solid black, Tsuki's Kusaigama has only been shown to a handful of people that are still living. Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories: She does have a small implant that allows her to use Kurotori's private netspace on the go and contact her gang members. She also has a custom hand imprint on the inside of her right hand, it white, gold and black to match her motorcycle. It serves several different purposes, its primary function being a biometric key to her home and bike, as well as her office at the Kurotori's homebase. It secondary functions include, a virtual wallet, the cybernetic itself is bullet proof and can be used as a shield against bladed weapons and a flash light. E X T R A Anything else? - Theme Song - She has a slight addiction to Yokai Tabacco, a sort of Y.G Weed variant that aids in eliminating the slight pain in her hand she feels from her cybernetic implant. She will often be seen smoking or rolling her own cigarettes. - She has an extensive knowledge of the inner-workings of Neo-Tokyo and decent knowledge on the other Mega-Cities having been a Jaeger for so many years. She has a wealth of knowledge on how the J.F functions as well, that has helped the Gang avoid the lime light for the most part. - Because of her life before coming to Sakanoshita, she has a seemingly unlimited number of connections and contacts that she's made with her work in the J.F Special Forces.

H i s t o r y Redacted Information - Redacted- Tsukiyama would leave the Jaeger Program and the J.F as a whole at the age of 45. After the incident of - redacted - she would be dishonorably discharged from the J.F Special Forces Jaeger Branch. Now having the opportunity to be herself and make her own choices after giving her all and serving without once stopping to question her orders, she wanted to change the status-quo that was the J.Fs control over Yokai'kuma. Understanding that this was no small task and would have to take time to accomplish successfully, she decided to start her plans in the heart of Sakanoshita. Opening up a illegal car modifications shop, named Fujino Motorworx in the heart of the district. Tsuki would spend ten years building the shops reputation as a reliable shop that did good and honest business despite being in one of the more seedier parts of Neo-Tokyo. Because Tsukiyama had an untapped wealth of savings from working in such a high position in the J.F Military, the stock she was able to acquire was nearly unlimited, especially as the shop began obtaining high society clientele commissions. All the while, Tsuki herself would become a bit of local celebrity, known as a kind and gentle business owner in the dangerous and treacherous Downtown Sakanoshita. Her shop that started as as only a vehicle mod shop, would eventually add a club within its walls. This bar would begin to be called the Kurotori, a safe space within Sakanoshita where those who felt like they didn't belong in any of the groups in Sakanoshita. Tsuki was the bartender, seemed to welcome must anyone that would behave. There was also many rumors of the few occasions someone had decided to wrong such a nice lady. In turn, a swift and almost blindingly fast end would almost always come their way. There also was a very old rumor that not anyone dare mention in her establishments, that she was once the Head Jaeger and Training Director for the J.F. Some unfortunate souls learned this the hard way very early on into Tsukiyama's arrival in Sakanoshita. Now ten years later, Fujino Motorworx has a steady line of regular customers, who only trust the shop to touch their car. The Kurotori is typically always packed with drifters and characters of all types but there is one thing they all have in common. They seek a place to get away from outside world that was Neo-Tokyo. In the bar, there was always laughter and excitement, and while Tsukiyama wasn't the main bartender always, the occasions she would, it would always mean free drinks for the night. Only within the last year has she started the second phase of her operation against the J.F, recruiting the people she trusted most to join in her gang, a front that she was going to use to disturb the general ecosystems of each district and respect big gangs. Of course she always wanted the people she recruited to be able to live the lives that seemed so unobtainable from the perspective of someone on the streets in Sakanoshita. She was unsure of if this was the correct move, but after 10 years of embedding herself back into Neo-Tokyo's underbelly, she felt her plan would work sufficiently, or rather she hoped.

Michiko Orinatsu/Kurotori's Resident Techie

Michiko Orinatsu | Digital Wraith

C H A R A C T E R I N F O R M A T I O N Name: Michiko "Mich" Orinatsu Nicknames/Aliases: Digital Wraith | Ghost In the Machine Birth City/District: Heita District, Neo-Tokyo Age: 25 Years Old Height: 5'4 ft (1.62 m) Racial Background: Russian|Japanese Race: Zero Percenter Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Gray Appearance: Coming in at a whooping 5'4, Michiko is often much smaller then those around her. That however doesn't mean she goes unnoticed in a room, her full chrome cybernetic body meant she was always gawked at for one reason or another. She opted to have her body copied in the proportion's of her flesh body from before she went through with the procedure, being most comfortable with the kickboxer physique her dead father had sculpted into her very soul. Though Michiko would never admit it, the various spikes going up her arm and down her back in two rows was a cosmetic choice. The chrome going up to the top of her neck and stopping at her chin and jaw, her pale skin was the only thing tying her back to her humanity visually. Various ports and inserts found their way around her body, meant for various jobs and tasks she had built the body for. She tends to wear custom clothes tailor made to fit around her body and only occasionally goes without clothes, donning her full chrome body in all her pride. Needless to say, her body exist to interface with the AkumaNet, and the various technologies around Neo-Tokyo. Give her long enough, and she should be able to break her way into anything, Physical or otherwise. Personality: The way Michiko carries herself fits her nickname almost perfectly. From her personality to her voice, eyes and height, it all fits comically well in a way. If she were a part of an anime, she would most definitely be a part of the Kuudere category. Mich is...cold when around people she doesn't know. She doesn't mean to be cold or anything like that, it's just her lack of an ability to relate to others. She tends to honestly act like an emotionless robot most of the time. When in the presence of large groups of people, she is especially quiet and keeps to herself unless spoken to, it's just been one of things that she developed from living in Heita all her life. If she happens to smile at you with in a couple months of meeting you, that means she has taken quite the liking as she doesn't show happiness often, if at all. When around strangers and friends it gets a bit awkward, because one moment she is nice and talkative, well for her at least, and the next moment, she could be quiet and to the point. Talking to friends she is slightly more expressive and emotional. She even will attempt some small talk and joking around, her flat tone adding to the delivery. While an outsider might see her as hard to approach, the Kurotori would tell them she's probably the easiest to talk to, behind Tsukiyama. She has this sort of thing she does where she'll just be quiet and the next moment she'll start talking out of the blue to her friends, she even does it in the middle of important things. An example being, they could be mid crisis and in the middle of an intense battle, she'll just suddenly blurt out "I'm...really hungry, do you think we could get food after this?". She sometimes has a passé attitude towards danger and battles, which absolutely can get her into trouble. There is another part of Michiko that that is widely unknown outside of the Gang and previous opponents, but she is quite the ruthless fighter, on account of her emotionless personality and her experiences in Heita, she has a habit of not backing down when she knows she has a chance. She doesn't really think anyone can be particularly scary. This tends to be the most reckless part of her, as she'll never back down from a fight and more likely then not, heavily hurt herself in fights that require her to fully fight. She has one of the strongest resolves and if you find yourself at the end of her various weapons, pray she takes it easy on you or one of the Kurotori are there to stop her. Her parents taught her how to fight, and once they passed away, she had to protect herself and her brother. As a result, she is extremely protective of those she loves and considers them her own, the gang being an example. Aspirations: Her biggest Aspiration is saving her brother from the clutches of the Tormented. Her second biggest goal, is to dismantle the Kurushimu and kill Goro Uemaru. She wants to fulfill Tsukiyama's goal and plans for the Kurotori. When she can finally rest and find a place to settle down into a normal life, she wants to open an orphanage to get orphans out of Heita. Fears: That her brother might be to far gone, and she might have to be the one to stop him. Failing Tsukiyama and her grand scheme. Her gang mates dying or getting hurt, because of her choices or lack of ability. Vehicle: Mitsubishi Horizon ZR6 One of the first things Tsukiyama had given to her was a matching bike to the womans own. However that were slight modifications made to better fit the tiny girl and make it more comfortable for her. Hers has a light purple base paint with dark purple and black trim, as well as the Kurotori symbol of the black swan as a decal on the right side of the bike. The bike is a hyrbid, capable of riding on the road, or switching seamlessly into its hovercraft mode. It is naturally faster on the road than on the hoverzones, as it is a retro build, capable of reaching speeds up to 250MPH. The bike has an active A.I system, that aids in keeping the Bike on the road at its top speed. The A.I system also has a An Active Protection Policy that keeps a small invisible forcefield around the bike when it's in motion. It does not disturb whatever it touches unless the A.I deeps it a threat to the driver. It also syncs to a special helmet that has a Heads up Display projected on the visor of the helmet. The bike requires a hand imprint cybernetic that acts as a biometric key. Meaning the bike cant be turned on or activated unless Tsuki remains in close proximity. P O W E R / C Y B E R N E T I C S I N F O R M A T I O N Strengths/Natural Abilities: SpecWrx TM-4512 Custom Chrome Body - When Tsukiyama found her 10 years ago, her body already mostly replaced with cobbled together cybernetics the girl had practically duct taped to herself. Tsuki gave her the opportunity to level the playing field, bankrolling whatever replacement Mich wanted, with the caveat that she worked for Tsuki and stopped trying to get herself killed fucking with the Tormented. The TM stands for Technomancer, a specialty line within SpecWrx Complete Replacement Body Systems (CRBS). CRBS is exactly as it sounds, cutting away all the fleshy bits, and replacing it with a YG forged titanium alloy body shell, capable of sustaining life even if a building falling on her in the worst case scenario (was recommended not to give this a try). Inside is various system replacements that have allowed Mich to keep up with the average YSG, she could never beat one on her own, but she can survive at the very least until help arrives. The body is powered by a single charge fuel cell, filled with a proprietary liquid she created called "YoJuice", a condensed Yokai blood formula. A single cell is capable of sustaining her life systems for a week, before she has to replace the cell with a fresh one. Fearless- Because of her upbringing and where she was born, Mich has grown quite the backbone. She rarely if ever is intimated by others, or let alone let any emotions dictate the way she fights. Because of this she is capable of rallying people even in the worst of scenarios or situations, and she is ruthless and decisive regardless of the adversity she might be experiencing. She will always ensure that her confidence and leadership never wavers, even in the face of death. Close-Mid Range combat Specialist - She is especially gifted in close to mid-range combat, both from the training she experienced as a kid from her deceased former Y.U.F (Yokai'Kuma's Ultimate Fighter) heavy weight champion father, and the training she's had from Tsukiyama personally. Despite her small stature, she is exceptionally crafty in leveraging others weight and using her size to her advantage. She also has to overcompensate for her height, meaning she goes twice as hard during fights over an average size fighter. Scrappy and Cunning would best describe her combat style, not hesitating to do whatever it takes to win. Decent Marksmanship - While she is no master or even pro marksman, she does have a decent aim and extensive training from Tsukiyama. She prefers pistols and sub-machine guns over assault or long rifles, as they are much easier to carry and less awkward for someone her size. She will always have her two pistols and SMG that Tsukiyama gifted her as a "Sign on" bonus so to speak. She's become exceptionally proficient using this these guns in close combat over the ten years doing jobs for Tsuki on the side. Extensive Knowledge on all Tech and AkumaNet related subjects - If she had been born with at least Yokai Gene's, like her brother, she would have found herself in the middle of a bidding war to sponsor her research. Too poor to go to Old-Kinshasa, the only place a Zero-Percenter like her would get paid what her projects deserved. Despite growing up in Heita, it's proximity to the borderwall, and being a lawless town, Michi often found herself in possession of technology companies would be millions for. But that didn't explain it all, how she developed a genius level expertise in not only Zero-Percenter tech, but able to grasp the complicated task of modifying this tech for YG and YSG holders. Her father left her and her brother often to go get whatever money he could manage, but he stoked the engineering fire that seemed to engulf his eldest and in large part, despite it being barebones, is the reason Mich could be considered a leading mind in the world of technology in Yokai'Kuma today. Weaknesses/Flaws: Zero-Percenter - Even with her body being upgraded, she is still vunerable to the pitfalls of being a normal human. She doesn't have a natural healing ability, her body is capable but only for a week before she has swap out her fuel cell. This is unavoidable as of right now, her life systems shut down after five minutes of running on empty, her body slowly losing function after function until she enters a "Stasis" mode. Trapped in her body with full consciousness but unable to do anything until someone replaces the cell for her. Reckless - Because of her lack of emotions and fear, Michiko often finds herself in especially dicey situations and in constant conflict with the Big Ego's of Sakanoshita. For a relatively Quiet girl, she has bizarre amount of enemies. Small - Pretty self explanatory, she has made up mostly for her height, but she suffers from the same things most other short people do. Altruistic - It's not that she doesn't care about what happens to herself, it's just that she puts her family and gang before herself. She will do anything and everything to ensure the safety her people, much to the detriment of her own health and wellbeing. She is constantly striving to the most she can for Tsukiyama, something Mama Tsuki has requested for her stop, and often goes sleepless in order to be the most useful she can be. Blind-Hatred For Goro Uemaru - While she hasn't seen the vile man since she left Heita and her brother behind, she has a deep seeded and inhuman amount of hatred for the man. If she saw him again, all hell would break loose as the tiny girl would B-Line straight for him. She stands little chance on her own and Tsukiyama has consistently reminded her of this, but despite all that, she cannot let go of her feelings or want to kill Goro in the most violent of ways. Weapon(s): SpecWrx TM-4512 Custom Chrome Body (As Seen in Reference Picture) - Stated before, the custom body is not only strong, but littered with spikes up her arms and down her back. They are both functional and fashionable, and Mich is able to retract them when needed. She is also able to comfortably lift half ton with effort and strain her body and increase fuel cell usage to carry ton, her fuel cell isn't rated for increased output longer than ten seconds. She'll risk either breaking the fuel cell or causing it to explode past recommended strain. Inversely she is able to runs of speeds up to 100 MPH for around 10 minutes before having to stop to cool down her body. Overheating in general is an increased risk for the TM-4512, she does have a specialized cooling system, but overheating runs the risk of frying brain or destroying her life systems and killing her in the process. Sustained overheat past five minutes pretty much marks a death sentence for her at this point. TPR Urban Utility Axe - TechPointRobotics is a radical new company rising in Neo-Tokyo, experimenting with the limits of Smart Melee weapons, capable of syncing with AkumaDrive systems and spawning an infinite number of uses both tactical and offensive. Mich's specifically were made to act in similar fashion to that of Thor's hammer, a auto retrieval system that will return her axes back to her with an outreached hand. She also opted to modify the weapon and added a XeFr Ultra Hot heating system to the edges of the weapon, capable of heating the edge so hot, it cuts through most things like butter. She carries two and they have special holsters from her wrist, up to her elbow, the axe heads protruding as functional weapons as well. She also can store them in her thighs if not in combat, giving her freedom not to accidently cut what she lay her elbows on. RetroArms .45 ACP X5 - RetroArms, typically know as RA weapons, is a weapon manufacturing dealing with designs and types from the past and bringing them to the present with a twist. The .45 ACP X5 was popular circa 2080 and was largely regarded as the go to service pistol for Y.L.E.A. Tremendous stopping power and heavily reliable, the pistol has a 12 round mag standard, with the more premier option for 15-20 rounds. While they typically run slightly bigger then the standard personal pistol, Mich had the grips and 15-round mags custom made to fit in her hand better. She also asked for custom made integrated silencer barrels on both pistols. What she forgoes in range, she gains massive pluses to her stealth, capable of firing this weapon a foot from someone and no noise coming from the pistols. She typically carries around Yo-Rounds, as they do a could job against both Yokai and Y.G holders. She also carries three special 20 round mags with Shogun-Rounds for the off chance she might have to fight a Y.S.G Holder. She carries two of these pistols, and has dedicated holsters under her arms for them both. BandyTech 9mm UR9 Compact - BandyTech, better known for their reliable firearms, quite literally being able to throw their weapons through hell, and have faith they'll never fall you. Customizable on fly, both the mag system, barrel system and analog sight rails allows her to run this SMG three ways, loud and fully automatic, spraying down with a 200 round drum, Silent and fast, with a 100 round drum, or quick and precise, stuck in semi-automatic mode, a scope and a 50 round mag. The gun is smart locked to her body, and will no fire unless her hands are on it. She also has gone through the effort of repainting the weapon all black, and typically carries the various attachments for on the go customization in a small pack she carries with her on missions. Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories: SpecWrx TM-4512 Custom Chrome Body (As Seen in Reference Picture) - Beyond the offensive capabilities and durability of the body due to the material it's made out of, she has a host of cybernetic life systems, all her organs replaced with BioMed AH Systems, synthetic organs meant to sustain and recreate the necessary functions for her still semi-human heart and brain. All of this powered and tied together by a fuel lodge located opposite of the place her heart lies. Her heart has been partially modified to pump more oxygen to her brain for easier processing speeds, it also allows her to carry the whooping 300 lbs of weight the body requires to carry all the hardware and still move efficient and fluidly. Her skeletal frame was also replaced and reinforced to both carry the weight and give her full range over her joints and limbs. Her brain being the most interesting required upgrade, has been modified with what amounts to a couple of computers replacing portions of her brain. It's given her access to parallel thought computing and a host of other things needed to go to toe with the worst of Neo-Tokyo's AkumaSystems and People. SpecWrx DVL AkumaDriveX - SpecWrx's proprietary top of the line "Tech Management" AkumaDrive System. Sold under the guise of giving tech repair workers in the city the ability to interface with ANY AkumaNetwork connected device for a guaranteed ability to fix any problem that hit their desk. It allows for the ability to force install your own software into any device and give you the ability to bypass any "locks" that hold the figurative door closed to the network. It also has a special interface created personally by Mich that allows her to represent the digital space one would see through lines of code, into a 3D space within her mind. It makes for streamlining any of the noise that could potentially take time for her to sort through, and instead acts a sort of "FPS" game like environment for her to play and win against. The more intense a Networks system, the harder the difficulty of the minigame she has to play. This AkumeDrive is in large part why any system in Neo-Tokyo that Mich has been able to drop into has yet to keep her and by proxy the Kurotori out. SpecWrx Digikey PR - On the inside of her hands, are the Digikey Palm Readers, a multipurposed Palm replacement cybernetics that allows her interface directly with devices and technology that doesn't have a visible dataport viable. Things like cars and locked doors, as long as she can touch it, can use her AkumaDrive to interact with said thing. It also acts as her personal wallet, and her key to club, auto shop, personal car and room, as well as previous devices she has already cracked into. Even shaking hands or letting her touch you could be potentially lethal, able to interface directly into others cybernetics with a simple touch. SpecWrx NightHawk Optics - A requirement for specific TM she had built and installed for her, they're a complete optic replacement, allowing her to customize not only her sight, but also it's visual appearance. Allowing for telescopic zooming to the level of a Lab Microscope and capable of seeing up too a mile. They also come with a specialty feature called RealColor Night Vision, capturing and relying even pitch black room back to her as if she were wearing dark sunglasses inside. In addition too, they also come with standard Thermal and multispectral viewing. She also can stream video and live calls into her vision, as well as surf the AkumaNet for information and the like. This is what allows her to see into and work within Networks. SpecWrx X Sony Surreal Sound Scape- A SpecWrx collaboration with the mega powerful Sony Company, take form in an eardrum cybernetic, that allows her to adjust the sensitivity of her hearing to an incredible degree. Able to focus her hearing, she is capable of listening to conversations up to 200m away from her with focus. She can also listen through materials that allow sound to escape through it. She can use this in a multitude of ways to spy and collect information, and it allows her to sync her hearing to surveillance cameras audio and allows her to catch conversations within videos, that even the surveillance video didn't capture. Functioning in conjuction with the SpecWrx NightHawk Optics, she is able to recreate audio by visually reading lips and recreating the audio by compiling any audio that might have been captured and uploaded to the AkumaNet through social media or from recorded surveillance video. SpecWrx BO Lining - Along the inside of the chrome body, likes a special material made from YG material, that nullifies things like EMPs or disrupters over her bodies various pieces of tech. It wont effect anything outside of her body, but it will keep her safe and unaffected unless it can pierce through her metal skin to get to the internals below. E X T R A Anything else? Theme Song She has a crippling addiction to cigarettes of any kind, and is often seen stealing Tsuki's prerolls. She has an extensive knowledge of the Tormented, and is the resident expert on their information and surveillance.

Tamashī no Samuraitachi

❖魂のサムライたち❖

Tamashī no Samuraitachi

- Premise -

Hi and welcome to the world of Yokai'kuma, an alternate version of earth where the continents were slammed together as a result of a war in the Year 2000 C.E (Common Era), between incredibly powerful beings, known as the Japanese Folklore spirits Daitengu, and their disciples. The aftermath of the war would mark a completely new Era for humanity, every year after being known as A.U or After Union. In this universe, the creatures, spirits, demons, etc, of Japanese Folklore exist and heavily influenced the course of the worlds history.

The most important change in this Universe's History, was the emergence of a genetic mutation, better known as Yokai Gene's (Y.G for short) across the globe. Because the world and it's inhabitants were in close proximity to Yokai, naturally the energy or "Ki" of these mythical beings and creatures would begin to bleed into everything around them. Plants, animals, etc, would begin to involuntarily absorb properties of Ki, and as a direct result, the world would begin to see results of the mutations in 10 A.U. Plants would be the first to alarm the change as some became sentient, or would grow in bizarre ways, some even having wildly vibrant color schemes, while others having poisons that could destroy whole sections of forests. Then animals became next, as yokai-esque looking animals began to show up around small towns, while other animals would be seen able to control certain elements or other seemingly magical abilities. Then, in the year 30 A.U, the first human would surface, with what is now called a "Mutation Marker" that appeared in the form of horns on his forehead. Slowly but surely more humans began to develop traits such as wings, tails, extra arms, two heads, etc. These mutations not only gave a human one trait, but also greatly changed the natural abilities of humans, varying from inhuman speed and dexterity, to increased strength and durability or even heightened senses of smell and hearing.

At first, humans would only have one Mutation Marker and one natural ability that was altered, however that changed when a woman appeared with not one, but two traits. This woman would have wings and horns, and seemingly had all her natural human abilities altered. Not only that but she had the ability to control the weather and materialize a vibrant rainbow colored Katana. She would be known as the first human-being to hold Yokai Shogun Genes or Y.S.G for short. Y.S.G mutations would only appear once out of every ten thousand Y.G holders naturally, meaning they were incredibly rare. A being with Y.S.G would have two or more Mutation Markers, increased natural abilities on all fronts, the ability to summon what would be come to know as a "Soul Binder" or a signature weapon that can be materialize and dematerialized at will, as well as typically one ability that could be perceived as magical or divine in it's nature. Thus began humanities new societal age, as Y.G and Y.S.G's became more and more widespread with each passing year. Now the population roughly is 80% YG , 10% YSG and 10% Zero Percenters. As you can imagine, life for regular humans is harsh and brutal, when 90% of the population is armed and dangerous in various ways.

- Setting -

Our story will be taking place in the far off future of 185 A.U. In 185, the world is vastly ahead in means of technology, lifestyles, world views, and general societal hierarchies. On Yokai'kuma, there are Five Mega cities Of importance. Them being known as New-Paris (All European Ancestral Decent) at it's Northwest corner and Coast, Moscow-0 at its Northeast Corner and Coast (All Russian Ancestral Decent), San-Washington at its Southwest Corner and Coast (All North, Central and South American Ancestral Decent), Old Kinshasa at its Southeast and coast (Middle Eastern/African/Australian Ancestral Decent) and last but not least, the most important city, Neo-Tokyo (all Asian Countries Ancestral Decent), lay at it's center. Each city spanning thousands of miles wide, all in various different designs and city plans.

All five cities fall under the law and order of the Japanese Federation, or the J.F for short. The J.F took control after the chaos of the Union generally pretty fast as most of their infrastructure was intact and they happened to have the most Y.S.G soldiers at the time. Of course this wasn't a peaceful takeover. Once the J.F realized they weren't the only surviving government entity, there was a period of hostile take overs, as the J.F mobilized and siege each city at the time. It was a swift and "just" takeover, as the J.F began dictating what was and wasn't allowed. There would be a nation wide ban on the travel of Y.S.G outside of Tokyo, only those carrying a special passport, with approval from the J.F were allowed to leave and live in another mega-city. Not only that, but every Y.S.G would be required to have a tracer injected into their bodies, either at birth, or for the already existing Y.S.G, a non-optional medical procedure. Of course there are many who hide in the vast mega-cities, however they must keep a low profile or risk the Jaegar (Think Navy SEALs) operatives coming to terminate "Undocumented Shogun". This is a problem that is gaining more and more ground as Y.S.G are forming groups and pushing back against the status quo of the J.F.

There are three joint agencies, called the Peace Corps, dedicated to enforcing J.F laws and policies at different levels, spanning jurisdiction across all five mega-cities.

Peace Corps

The most prevalent agency, is the Yokai'kuma Law Enforcement Agency or the Y.L.E.A for short. the Y.L.E.A often referred to as the J.F's Lap Dogs, are responsible for Y.G and Zero-Percenter related incidents, more or less the police force of the J.F. This agency is primarily Y.G Holders, with a few humans to deal with human affairs. They are typically useless in actually helping the city, and are more of an immediate way to quell/contain any civilian problems within the cities. They largely are a deterrent for crimes in the more high society area's and largely neglect the lower income areas. This agency is also handles court cases unless related to Y.S.G related issues.

---

The second biggest agency would be the Yokai'kuma Security and Containment Agency or the Y.S.C.A for short. Being named by the public as the "Wayfinders", the Agency largely deals with Yokai and Brokenland related problems. Because the city is around 80% Y.G altered materials, proven to be much more durable and long lasting, it has caused a phenomenon known as an "Outbreak". Yokai will suddenly and randomly appear, instantly causing chaos from the their Ki leaking out in various different ways. Outbreaks however do tend to happen more often around tragedies and large amounts of negative emotions, the Yokai seeming to be drawn to events such as these like flies.

The Outbreaks ranking 1-5, the number reflecting the power and danger of the situation. Rank One and Rank Two Outbreaks generally are the most common and will largely be yokai more akin to those of Folklore. Rank ones will consist of most animal type yokai, typically no bigger then a car. They will have simple ki abilities, and are the easiest to hunt, these types of out breaks only really last 30-60 minutes on average. The real problem with Rank 1 Outbreaks, is the Yokai will always appear in groups, the biggest recorded group so far being 60 strong, so they tend to cause quite a commotion. While you can obtain a lot of parts, they typically have the lowest payouts.

Rank 1 Yokai Examples

Rank Two Outbreaks tend to be Yokai no smaller then a car, and no bigger then a two story house. Rank 2 Yokai tend to be much more intelligent, and twice as strong as Rank 1 Yokai. These Yokai tend to look more monster-esque, and will come in groups no larger then 5, so far at least. They will always have two Ki abilities, a simple ability and an evolved version usually, though there have been Rank 2's with 2 completely unrelated Ki abilities. Because they are stronger, typically city alarm system will call for a temporary evacuation for civilians not capable of fighting. The payouts on Rank Two's grow exponentially, as does the risk.

Rank 2 Yokai Examples

Rank 3, 4 and 5 Outbreaks all have the same protocol. Immediate evacuation required for all Y.G and Zero=Percenters and a call to arms to respond until the Wayfinders can make their way to the outbreak. Each Rank poses and immediate threat to the surrounding area and are typically met with a full response from both the Y.S.C.A and the J.F.S.F. At Rank 3, these types of outbreaks only happen several times every month and are typically the result of a mass causality event or terrorist attack. These Yokai become increasingly more humaniod, and are highly intelligent, capable of capitalizing on weaknesses and setting up traps. These Yokai also can have very complex Ki abilities, but will only have one. The Y.S.C.A and J.F.S.F response are fast for two reasons, the first being that while Y.S.G are capable of fighting Rank 3s, there's a likely chance Y.S.G Bountymen or Civies looking to get rich quick, will Enrage the Yokai. This causes a phenomenon making it evolve into a Rank 4, often known as an Enraged Rank 3. The second reason is because these Yokai are a rarity and as such, capable of either adding a hefty chunk of change for the Y.S.C.A or potential Yokai material that could lead into breakthroughs in the J.F.S.F R&D branch.

Rank 3 Yokai Examples

Rank 4 takes Rank 3 Yokai, and dials up to 100. These Outbreaks either happen when a Rank 3 gets enraged, or Natural Rank 4 Yokai outbreaks, which typically occur 1-3 times a year. Enraged Rank 3's will evolve into either a more powerful form or something entirely different and will suddenly gain a Soul Binder. They gain Y.S.G and will typically gain several new abilities, as well as heal any wounds they sustained up until that point. A enraged Rank 3 calls for a mass evacuation of all Civilians and will instantly alert the Jaeger Branch to come and help the Y.S.C.A attempt to contain and capture it for "science" purposes. A Natural Rank 4 elicits a similar response, but these Outbreaks are largely regarded as Calamities. While Enraged Rank 3's have high intelligence, Rank 4's are much more sinister. These calamities are almost always alone, only ten pairs of 2 have been recorded in the last 100 years. They are almost fully humanoid and have the ability to speak intelligently. A Rank 4's Ki ability will always serve the purpose of maximum destruction, capable of wiping away whole city blocks in an instant. There is almost always a guarantee the Kurushimu are responsible for the Outbreak. If someone were to get their hands on Enraged Rank 3 or Rank 4 materials, they'd either become one of the richest in Neo-Tokyo, or on a J.F.S.F Hitlist.

Rank 4 Yokai Examples

Rank 5 Yokai are commonly called the Devil's of Jigoku and have only appeared 3 times in the last 100 years. They are death incarnate and there is nothing short of a full scale response by the J.F and a mass evacuation out of the district they appeared in, to stop them from destroying Neo-Tokyo. -Redacted-, -Redacted-, -Redacted- were the three incidents in name, the last of which Tsukiyama was involved in as an old Jaeger and the main reason she left the Jaeger. Any information besides pictures taken from unfortunate souls who happened to capture the Outbreak, have been locked away behind the highest clearance in the J.F.S.F, and any remains of the three Rank 5 that were killed, are locked within the center of Neo-tokyo at the Temple of Jigoku.

Rank 5 Yokai

---

Each district deals with them in their own way, but primarily the Y.S.C.A is responsible for responding to these Outbreaks. They have various outpost out in the badlands, and each Mega-city has their own specialized Wayfinder Branch. They also guard the walls around each city, and handle all crimes with Illegal Yokai Smuggling, Illegal/Unregulated Y.G altered product. Because of the nature of this agency, they tend to be the most beneficial to the mega-cities. This agency is primarily made up of Y.G and Y.S.G holders, with a small amount of Zero-Percenters with extensive cybernetic mods that allow them to keep up with the pace of the job.

The last agency is the one most notorious, dubbed The "Shogun Hunters", they deal with all matters involving Y.S.G related incidents. They are only made up of Y.S.G holders and officially called the J.F Special Forces or J.F.S.F. There several branches within the agency, however there is only one branch that is publicly known as the Jaeger Branch. The J.Fs attack dogs so to speak, this branch deals specifically with strict policing and monitoring of Y.S.G Holders. Stationed in every cities capital, they are made up of dozens of prodigies, typically hand picked to go to the J.F Academy. Each member of this branch, fall under a special callsign, and have absolute legal power within the mega-cities. They are the judge, jury and executioner, and they largely are unmonitored by the government, not by choice because the J.F cant touch them. The Jaeger are heavily corrupt and directly led by the Emperor, a Y.S.G Holder who has said to have been alive for 150 years.

Tiny bit of Lore and outside the mega-city information

After the events of the "The Union" there was an unbelievable amount of tragedy, both from direct effects and the thousands of problems that arise when continents collide together. Paris (EU), Moscow (RU), Washington D.C (NA/CA/SA), Kinshasa (AF,ME,AU) and Tokyo (Asia) would largely remain intact after the world altering event, and as a result would lead to mass migrations to each respective city. The earth's population at the time was close to around 1,654,000,000 and rising until the calamity, which would leave only a third (551,000,000+) of the worlds population alive. Now however, the world sits at 7,750,000,000+ people, with 80% opting to live in one of the five Light Rail connected Mega-Cities. The other 30% reside in what is called the "Brokenlands", the destroyed ancient remains of hundreds of cities and pre-Union society. These people consist of those that don't agree with the Ruling Political Parties of Yokai'kuma, dangerous beings banished from any of the Mega-Cities, those looking for extremely dangerous peace and quiet, or even those who seek an unmarked frontier, ripe with old ruins to rediscover.

In terms of the general environment outside the cities, and even within some of the megacities, are a varying mix of different climates and vastly different landscapes. Because Yokai freely roam the Brokenlands, its been off-limits for many years now, after many civilians who opted to cross the dangerous lands to the other mega-cities were slaughtered in droves. For a Y.G the survival rate is about 10%, and a Y.S.G hitting about 25%. If the various different types of Yokai didn't kill them, it was the always changing weather and landscapes. What could be lush jungles, could change to barren salt flats in the span of only a couple of weeks. With the advancement of technology however, there has been a very primitive road system for those that find themselves outside the mega=city limits. The light rail system however, remains the fast way to traverse to any of the five cities, taking about 30 minutes to cross what would typically take a full eight months on foot. Drifters, banished and Defectors from the J.F all have their own ways of surviving and typically if you seek to venture outside the walls, you'll need have a Coyote with you, or someone who makes a living smuggling things in and out of the mega-cities and across the Brokenlands.

-Plot-

This RP will be taking place in the year 185 A.U, a dystopian cyberpunk-esque future on Yokai'kuma. This RP is going to center around the Sakanoshita District, and will follow several arcs of story. After each Arc, ill accept new characters and do a general recap before starting the next arc. Your characters at the start have been recruited by Tsukiyama Fujino, a rising name in Sakanoshita. She is starting her own Gang, The Kurotori (Black Birds), in an attempt to form a group capable of disrupting the current status-quo in the district, with a secondary plot that will become important in later arcs if we get there. This Arc will focus on the start and eventual rise of the Kurotori in the Sakanoshita district.

- First Arc: A Change is Here -

In the mega-city of Neo-Tokyo, the J.F polices the streets with an iron hand. Y.G and Y.S.G are more or less left to protect and police themselves. Gangs and Groups of Y.S.G have grown to become the top of the food chain in Neo-Tokyo, as most functions in each districts, are directly controlled by the biggest groups and gangs. In Sakanoshita, The Forgotten are the kingpins of the crime ridden district. Anyone who wants to conduct a new business enterprise or venture, would have to go through the Forgotten and pay a hefty tax or payout. Anyone who decided differently, are met with a very violent and very public execution, made an example for anyone foolish enough to think similarly. Tsukiyama has been abiding by the rules of the Forgotten, but with the emergence of the Kurotori, shes looking to change Sakanoshita into a place that people can come to and not have to look over their shoulder constantly. This arc will follow the start of the Kurotori's journey into becoming the top gang in Sakanoshita.

- Districts/NPC District Gangs -

Neo-Tokyo takes the shape of a giant circle spanning thousands of miles, surrounded by nuclear-warfare defense, Y.S.G grade material wall. There is one road that goes directly through the city from left to right, almost like a spine, known as the Mugen no michi (Infinite Road) or I.R 1. The Mega-City itself is separated into specific districts, that all have their own downtown along the main spine and, in a somewhat literal sense, ecosystems. These districts take the general layout of rings around the center of Neo-Tokyo, with each district sectioned off by the same material as the outer wall of the city, and max-security gates at certain roads connected to the neighboring district. There was a general plan for the layout of the city, but hundreds of years of growth has lead to a mostly jumbled labyrinth of various building designs. Seemingly infinite amounts of roads and buildings at ground level, with 20-50 levels built above, stacked in a mostly secure way. More often then not, the citizens of Neo-Tokyo could discover an entirely new level of the city they've never been too, despite living their whole lives in the city. Addresses typically include, building I.D, Street Name, Floor Number, District (Ex. FujKu114, I.R 1, G-0, Sakanoshita District would be the address for the Kurosagi's base.)

(Some of the districts wont be in this arc, so they will be locked for the time being, as will their Gangs/Groups, as they also wont make an appearance.)

Districts and it's key people

Heita District (Slums/Second Largest District)

The Heita District is more or less the glaring stain on an otherwise MOSTLY civilized mega-city. Sitting at the very outer ring around the city, they are the furthest from the wealth. While Sakanoshita happens to house most of the organized crime, Heita is home to the worst of it. The slums statistically has the lowest income per household, if you could call it that, and the highest crime rate, which a good portion of it isn't reported regardless. Because of this, it tends to house the grimiest of the citizens, convicted felons, Y.S.G who have ripped out their trackers and anarchists are a couple of the types you'd find most here. Because of this, only the J.F.S.F tend to venture into the dangerous maze of shanty and decayed buildings. In addition to the close proximity to the outer wall around the city, Heita suffers from the most Yokai outbreaks and as a result, the Y.S.C.A have a heavy presence in the slums. Though unfortunately, they are strictly hands off with things outside of Yokai outbreaks. Most of the time the Y.L.E.A rarely responds to calls despite having a headquarters in the downtown area. There are dozens of gangs and factions that exist within Heita, but two rain as leaders and are constantly warring with one another in the streets of Heita.

- Gangs -

Tenshi-tachi no musuko-tachi (Sons of Angels)

(In Order of left to right, Tetsuya Yamazaki, Taro, Kenji|Kurou Hagiwara)
The Sons of Angels, are the shining torch in the darkness for Heita, and for the most part, the only peace keepers in the slums. Above all else, helping the unfortunate survive in the harsh, largely ignored district is their #1 goal. The gang is primarily made up of teens and young adults who are tired of living in fear in the Heita district. While they're are not rich, they do have some heavy hitters capable of making up for it. Working out of dozens of of bases, they stand a 1,000 strong, led by four men. Because the Sons of Angels dont leave the slums, not much is known beyond their names and titles.

Tetsuya Yamazaki (age 25) known as the Blue Tengu, an always hooded man stands as the gangs head.

While Taro (age 24) stands as second in command with his signature smart helmet, known as the Horus, the always knowing.

The #3 and #4 of the gang are the twin Hagiwara brothers (Age 20), often called the Wolf Twins.

This gang is highly capable and are strong enough to not immediately be squashed by their rival gang, The Tormented. The reason most are so young, is because their parents had been members in the long standing gang, who were slaughtered many years ago and they are the only ones left to "keep the torch from burning out"

Kurushimu(Tormented)

(In order top left to Top right and so on, Goro Uemura, Enosho Seimeisetsu, Rakida Uemura, Kazemachi Orinatsu, Yasukida Torao, Kodasaka|Tomibaru Baitomi, Natsunaga|Otokuro|Uzugami Dainokoji, Enomisu Matsunmochi, Tamaya Nobotaka)
The cancer of Neo-Tokyo in both a literal and figurative sense, the Tormented are a gang that even the J.F remains hesitant to disrupt or disturb the gang in anyways. They hold immense power both in Ki and influence, and are by far the strongest Gang in the mega-city. They have one base out of Heita, however they do have safe houses in each district. The Tormented are pure chaos incarnate. More akin to a terrorist cell, then a gang, the Tormented are typically responsible for huge incidents and crimes within the mega-city. They are afraid of no one, J.F or otherwise, and it's rumored they want to release the Yokai Council from the Jigoku Temple Seal in the heart of Neo-Tokyo. Instead of huge numbers, there are only 12 members, 11 of which are Natural Born Y.S.G and 1 Zero-Percenter, however they each are stronger then 200 Y.G Holders at least.

The two heads, notoriously labeled the Devil Kings, are Goro Uemura and Enosho Seimeisetsu. They are rumored to be around 100 years old, but it's impossible to confirm or deny this. These two are ruthless and cunning, having survived three revivals of the gang since it's existence. They will not hesitate to eliminate anything that goes against their plans, and they are prone to snapping at a moments notice

The second in command under them is Rakida Uemura (age 20), known as the Devil King's Daughter, she is even more ruthless then the heads and has been rumored to have 1000s of kills under her belt. It's thought that she is Goro's daughter, but the girl is so fucking nuts it's impossible to find out if this is true. At all cost, avoid making any type of contact with the small girl.

Following these three, are the Tormented Enforcers, ranked by individual power levels amongst the 9.

Starting at the strongest, Kazemachi Orinatsu (age 25) stands proud. She is known as Mad Dog, and will always be seen with her Yokai dog hybrid. She like Rakida, is fucking nuts and wants nothing more then for Neo-City to burn down beneath her feet. She often is the main instigator and has the amazing ability to always create trouble in whatever district she's in.

Behind her, is a man known as Yasukida Torao (age 19). He is a dangerous new addition to the gang and not much is known about who he and where he came from.

Following in the #3 and #4 spots, are the Baitomi Twins (age 23), better known as the Butcher Brothers. They are known to kidnap and torture civilians in their past time. They typically are the ones the Devil Kings call on for abductions and interrogations.

At spot #5, #6 and #7 are the Dainokoji siblings (age 26, 24, 21), also known as the Trio of Chaos. While they may not be the strongest of the enforcers, they make up for that with a unique Y.S.G ki ability that ties the three. You must kill Natsunaga to kill the other two, otherwise the brothers remain immortal.

At spot #8 comes the gangs healer, Enomisu Matsunmochi (age 27) also known as the Grim Reaper. He is a twisted mute man who has the ability to both heal and decay whatever he touches. He is second weakest, however he is one of the more important members of the gang.

And at the last spot, sits the seemingly meek Tamaya Nobotaka, He is the only Zero-Percenter on any of the gangs and that's for good reason. He is what Yokai'kuma's Citizens call a Cybernetic Zombie. His brain is scrambled by the dozens of cybernetics he has attached to his body, and makes for a good infiltrator because most ignore him on account of being a normal human.

Sakanoshita District (Black Market/Illegal Entertainment District)

The second furthest district ring from the wealth, instead of falling into a similar ruin the slums experience, Sakanoshita houses all the illegal enterprise available in Neo-Tokyo. This is by effect, as the J.F largely allows it to happen here, in order to keep the rest of the districts clean. Because of this, Sakanoshita is fairly wealthy in some parts, while terribly poor in others. The downtown area is for the most part safer then the outskirts of the district, and that's were you'll find most of the night life occurs. Y.L.E.A does show up for most calls, but mostly ignore the glaring issues of the district, an order coming from the J.F. Only if something especially egregious happens, something that cant simply be ignored or swept under the rug so to speak, will the Y.L.E.A respond appropriately. The other two agencies have no hesitancy to come to Sakanoshita, but because of the J.F orders, they largely ignore most of the problems that would fall under their jurisdiction.

Yokai outbreaks happen regularly, in which bountymen will typically come to kill and sell it to the highest bidder. However it can sometimes turn into a shitshow as people fight for the bounty, while the Yokai are rampaging. The Y.S.C.A lack of a presence means the citizens of Sakanoshita are largely responsible with dealing with them. It is often rumored the Forgotten, The Tormented and the J.F.S.F regularly create situations to spawn Yokai for their raw material and largely disregard the citizens of Sakanoshita's wellbeing. They tend to create Outbreaks, source what they can and quickly leave the scene, forcing the citizens to deal with the aftermath. Especially with Enraged Rank 3 Yokai's, as Sakanoshita on average has three times the normal amount as the other districts. While the Outbreaks do generate an appalling amount of money and raw goods for the general economy, it also has left Sakanoshita in a constant state of repair in some of the poorer areas.

- Gangs -

Wasure rareta (Forgotten)

(In Order of left to right and then center, Okizawa Chonaka, Sonaba Honiko, Arizumi Korobei, Higato Tadatsu)

while most organized crimes happens in Sakanoshita, they all fall under one gang, the Forgotten, often called the Kingpins of Neo-Tokyo. It's not widely known however, that the Forgotten have very close ties to the Tormented and are often working together in Sakanoshita. They don't have the means to go against the Tormented, but both benefit by each others existence, and make it easy to keep control of the two outer rings of Neo-Tokyo as a deal of sorts. The Forgotten are not inherently evil, they just have no qualms about doing whatever possible to keep their power and wealth. They work as a group of four, managing all the crime as four bosses.

Big Boss Chonaka (age 23) is the son of the former Big Boss, who he killed in order to obtain the seat. He is a vicious and vile result of what Sakanoshita can do to a child. He is a narcissist, control freak who has only made Sakanoshita worse in the two years he's taken over as the Big Boss. He is responsible for the total takeover and complete change of the three other bosses, replacing them with his 3 closest and trusted allies. Okizawa is the strongest of the four and holds the most power within Sakanoshita. Being a Y.S.G holder, he has the base ki ability to control and create fire at a whim. On top of this, he also has an evolved Ki ability that gives him the ability to use a unique red and blue fire that cant be put out unless he allows it. He is a force to be reckoned with and Tsukiyama's personal target.

Boss Honiko (age 22) is Okizawa's kid best friend since the age of 5, who is relatively hidden away from the public in Sakanoshita. She is said to be a cold woman with little regard for anyone beyond three other bosses. While she stands as the second strongest, she very rarely is seen fighting or taking part in Sakanoshita gang wars. She is a Y.S.G awakened that has only one ki ability, absolute control over water and the power to create it from nothing. She is known to largely run any illegal Yokai-related enterprise in Sakanoshita. She holds the least amount of power in Sakanoshita on account of her being largely absent from the scene. But make no mistake, she is just as dangerous as Chonaka.

Boss Korobei (24) while third strongest, holds the second most power in Sakanoshita, sort of seen as Okizawa's main enforcer. He can always be found at the front lines of any gang war related to the Forgotten and largely hailed as the General of the Forgotten's underlings. He is charismatic, charming and above all else, a snake. He wont hesitate to make a deal with you, and gut you like a pig when your back is turned. He is not to be trusted, despite playing the appearance of a caring gang leader, here to help the community. He is also known to largely run the illegal fetish brothels and human-trafficking rings in Sakanoshita. Being a natural born Y.S.G holder, he was born with both his base ki ability and his evolved version. He is able to merge with his Soul Binder, a Katana, and turn into a living blade, capable of cutting things just by touching it with any part of his body. His evolved version allows him to change his soul binder into a shield, and gain an impenetrable property on the front of his body.

Boss Tadatsu (age 23) sits at the bottom of the totem pole, not because she isn't strong, but because it is largely unknown what she does for the Forgotten. It is also unknown if she is a Zero-Percenter, Y.G or Y.S.G Holder, even more so then Honiko, she has never been seen fighting. There is a rumor she owns a yokai that guards her personally, but it truly is nothing but a rumor. She is commonly spotted behind Chonaka when the man makes a grand appearance, and she has never missed a Forgotten gathering, since the two years that the four have been running the gang.

Maebaru District (Old Town/Old Wealth District)

Maebaru District could almost be considered its own city within the rings of Neo-Tokyo. While the other Districts typically rely on their neighbors to either side, Maebaru is completely self sufficient. Even the I.R.1 was accommodated for the district, lowering into the ground to allow bridge roads to go over to. This was demanded by the citizens of Maebaru early on into Neo-Tokyo's planning and with all the wealth, it took almost a decade to complete. In order to get into the Maebaru District, you must either be a citizen born there, or in possession of a Maebaru Gold Coin, a special token outsiders must pay for with a conversion cost roughly 1 Coin - 300$.

This district strongly discriminates against Zero-Percenters and Y.G Holders, largely because Maebaru has the largest population of Y.S.G. Even Y.S.G Awakened will feel a slight disdain for the fact they are not a Natural Born. Maebaru is the high society of high society, and as such, the Peace Corps has the strongest and most active presence in this District. Outbreaks are quickly and efficiently dealt with, this district has the lowest amount of crime, both because of the type of people that lived here, but also because of the Y.L.E.A proactive presence. The Jaegers all have homes here that they can stay at when they are recuperating or taking a vacation. This District does have its dark secrets however. The crimes here largely consist of corporate espionage, Fraud, and assassinations, most of which go unreported. Because of the exclusivity of the district, many corporations moved their headquarters here

What do they call you in the Mega-city of Neo-Tokyo. This can be changed at later times if you feel your character has earned new nickname.

[b]Birth City/District:[/b]
If they were born within Neo-Tokyo, then district would apply, followed by the city. If you were born outside Neo-Tokyo, then you can just list your Mega-City.

[b]Appearance:[/b]
If theres anything your picture doesn't tell, or anything you would like to add that your picture doesn't show (I.E Tattoos, birthmarks, scars, etc). If you aren't going to use a picture at all, then i would like at least one paragraphs for your appearance so we can get a good idea of what the character looks like.

[b]Mutation Marker(s):[/b]
These come many different forms, however varying in number between Y.G and Y.S.G Holders. If you're going to be playing a normal human then you can delete this from your cs. As for Y.G vs Y.S.G, Y.G will only have two mutation trait, while Y.S.G can have up to four different mutation markers. These markers show up in various forms ranging from Extra Limbs/Tails/Wings/Horns/Extra Heads to more subtle changes such as Separate Eye Colors/Inhuman Irises/Uniquely Vibrant Hair colors/Inhuman shaped teeth or ears/Scales /etc. I'd like for you guys to give the markers some descriptions that make them unique.

Not everyone needs a vehicle in Neo-Tokyo, but most that are in gangs or in social circles will typically have a vehicle as an extension of themselves. Because Neo-Tokyo does have a very confusing and jumbled street system as the city expanded faster then it could plan, those who can afford it, will typically take to the Hoverzones above the cities streets. Most vehicles will typically be a hybrid of hover and standard road types and all will run on YoFuel, or a synthetic fuel made from the bodies of Yokai.

[indent][b]Strengths/Natural Abilities:[/b]
What is your character good at? Fighting? Are they a smooth talker? Can they navigate you through the labyrinth of huge and vast mega-cities? Maybe even have special connections to smuggle whatever in and out of the city? These traits can be listed here. If they're a Y.G holder, then also include their one enhanced natural ability. If they are a Y.S.G holder then all natural abilities will be enhanced, but you will need to include which specific natural ability they excel at.

[b]Weaknesses/Flaws:[/b]
Every character has their weakness, wether it be their proficiency at hand to hand combat, or their inability to collect information, whatever traits and or natural abilities your character lacks in excess (I.E being picky wouldn't count here, however being deathly allergic to a certain food would count) should go here in list form.

[b]Y.S.G Ability(ies):[/b]
If you're playing a normal human or a Y.G holder then you can delete this from the CS. However if you're going to be playing a Y.S.G holder, then your Ki ability can be explained here. These powers are indistinguishable from magic or super powers, and can vary hundreds of different types and combinations. Typically when a Y.G holder is born, they'll be born with their mutation marker, and their one enhanced natural ability, but no powers. A Y.G can have one of two situations happen to them, some have latent Shogun Gene's, in which case they'll typically awaken from high stress/excitement/etc and develop an ability that they can train to awaken into a secondary evolved ability. OR they can train to a point of awakening, however they will only be able to have one power that can never evolve. Someone whose born with Y.S.Gs will either of the three situations happen to them, they are born with two or more (max 4 which is incredibly rare, like 0.00000001% chance) abilities they cant awaken further, they're born with one ability that can awaken twice, giving the user three abilities, or they're born with both their base ability and awakened ability. Y.Gs awakening into Y.S.Gs tend to awaken them at younger ages, but there are cases where adults well into their 30s suddenly awaken. Especially if you're someone who trained to awakening.

[b]Soul Binder/Weapon(s):[/b]
If you're playing a Y.S.G holder, what is your souls weapon of choice? [url=tofugu.com/japan/ancient-japanese-wea… Binder's will always be Ancient Weapons[/url] and can vary in size, color, and materialization/dematerialization effects (I.E When summoned and unsummoned, the weapon will shine a blinding light.). I'd like one paragraph about the design and overall feel of your characters Soul Binder. If you're playing a normal human or a Y.G Holder, or if you're a Y.S.G who carries around some special or extra weapons, then list and describe them here. Weapons can vary from standard weapons that can be found in modern times, to things like Vibrating Blades and Knives, better known as Vibroweapons, energy based weapons, which are extremely rare and run on Yokai Energy cartridges, and other various cyberpunk/future weapons. Just run it by me on discord and Ill let you know how to go about writing them in or answer any questions on general functions.

[b]Cybernetics/Gadets/Accessories:[/b]
Any types of cybernetics ([url=cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Cyberware_(… can use this to get an idea of what cybernetics exist[/url]) your character has on their body can be listed here with a small description of its capabilities.
