[i]Originally Kanie from Amagi Brilliant Park, now Kira Tachibana[/i][/Center]

[b]Name:[/b] Kira Tachibana
[b]Age:[/b] 18
[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Personality:[/b] Kira fancies himself the ideal guile hero, coming up with plans and counterplans when faced with a problem or opponent, as well as a charismatic diplomat and leader able to combine the strengths of different factions. In practice, however, he is too dependent on his powers to a point not seen in the original source material. However, despite all this, Kira is genuinely a kind person who wants to help others, and should he find his supposed intellecutal gifts failing, he will fall back on aiding those he meets, taking small steps to create a fairer world where suffering is minimized. Nevertheless, Kira dreams of nobility and alliances, of coexistence and harmony, but deep inside, he doesn't know if he has what it takes to make that happen.

As regards his feelings for his author, Kira laments that he was created with such impossible dreams, dreams that his author had been told to make costly even in his original source material. Sometimes, he regards himself as cursed, when faced with challenges he was not equipped for, and blames his author for either spoiling him or not giving him the right talents or powers or equipment to deal with this 'real world'.

[b]Plot Summary of Original content:[/b]

[i]Action, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Intrigue[/i]

[b][i]Credo of the Dawn - One Person's Dream, Free the World![/i][/b]

In the year 2012, the date of the Mayan Apocalypse, a new race of humanity emerges, born with powers that defy scientific comprehension. Reactions to these 'Empowered' vary greatly, with some considering them a miraculous gift from God, while others proclaim them monsters dangerous to Humanity.

In the year 2017, the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed by an Empowered terrorist, Escathon, and public opinion turns against the Empowered. A worldwide group, the Organization for the Preservation of Human Freedom versus Supernatural Terrorism (OPHFST), takes control of Earth, promising to protect them against the Empowered threat of terror. Thanks to new technological advances allowing one to counteract and restrain Empowered abilities, it was able to pass laws effectively enslaving the Empowered.

In the year 2027, one decade later, 19-year old Kira Tachibana, a member of the rich elite that produces Anti-Empowered technology, is caught in an experiment that gives him the powers of an Empowered. Barely managing to hide his abilities, Kira is set on a course that would change society forever...

[b]Backstory:[/b] Kira was born just before the Empowered began manifesting en masse, to a physicist and biologist couple that soon found themselves drafted into the efforts to do research into these new beings and how to defend against them. This research brought their family new wealth and privileges, but also caused Kira's parents to slowly detach themselves from their son, causing no small amount of lonliness. His upbringing was left to a caretaker, Nina, who sang to him, told him stories, and oversaw his education when his parents could not bother to pay attention. But then, Nina turned out to be an empowered, one with the ability to pulverize solid matter; same as Escathon. She was then taken away and enslaved; and a few years later, Kira would learn that she died in a 'mining accident'.

In response to this, the young man was angry and outraged, particularly as his parents didn't sympathize with him, and were in fact glad to have such a freak away from their son. So, before it was too late, Kira decided to hide his feelings and dissemble, and then adopt the life of a socialite, so as to build up the skills and connections necessary to take revenge. That, and being an extravangant party guy was a great mask to obscure himself with. He also began attending the demonstrations and experiments of his parents' technology; he found it hard to understand their science, but knew that he needed to at least know what inventions would prove useful in getting revenge.

And eventually, he found it; his mother, against all rules, had made a forbidden invention - a serum that can transform a human into an Empowered. The reason she had? Pure curiosity. And so he stole said serum from where it was stored in his mother's private lab, and injecting himself with it. When his mother found out, Kira blackmailed her, saying that if she revealed his secret, he'll reveal that she made the serum; he had already stored computer data of such. And so, Kira was allowed to begin intrigues and schemes in order to bring down the OPHFST, and even made contacts with groups of Empowered hiding in secret to prepare for a rebellion. Using his powers, he built up a fake identity known as 'The Operator' who would slowly organize not just Empowered, but ordinary humans feeling that OPHFST was living well off [i]their[/i] toil, as well.

Then, it all fell apart. Moments before the Rebellion, Kira's secret identity was exposed and he was imprisoned, to face the most grueling enslavement that his captors can devise. However, he met the head of OPHFST, who revealed that his true goals were not getting power and wealth at the expense of the Empowered, but rather using the latter's powers to achieve 'The Dissolution', an event by which Humanity is to be rendered down into pure energy, energy that would take on a singular conciousness, losing individuality to become a unified whole that will reshape reality itself to be more fair with less suffering. And if Kira gave him the secret of the serum, he can do just that. 

And that's where the first season ends, with Kira's answer yet unknown...

[b]Weapons, Powers & Abilities:[/b]

Kira uses a Japanese Longsword, or Tsurugi.

Kira is a moderate-to-decent hacker, fencer, and is fluent in both English and Japanese. 

As for spells, Kira's unique ability is named: 

Dream Conjuration - Kira can conjure up an object he has dreamt about in the past 24 hours, be it a glowing sword that can cut through lampposts, a mech (no larger than a city block or factory, of course), or something as mundane as a set of bandages and antiseptic. Note however that to prevent him from summoning a primal fear or something uncontrollable, the main restriction on Kira's power must be that the dream he had must not have made him feel afraid, disgusted, self-loathing, depressed, or weary of the world. In short, Kira can only conjure up something from sweet dreams, not nightmares.
