"The Delinquent"
Name: Ogata Yunosuke
Age: 18
Rank: C
Bio: Originally a country boy, Yunosuke moved across Japan as he grew up, living in several small rural towns before settling in Tokyo, where the bright lights and urban temptations proved to be a huge distraction for the highschool aged boy. Back in the sticks, he was known for being a hothead punk who was much too scrawny to finish any of the fights his mouth managed to get him into. He emulated the gunslingers and noir heroes of his favorite films but failed to deliver on both the charisma and skill. Where they got witty one-liners, he had a mouthful of marbles and a vocabulary that was 80% obscenities and empty threats. Always the instigator, he would pick fights just to keep himself amused.
He mellowed out some in Tokyo, if only because that shit can get you killed in the city, but he retains all the most endearing qualities of a delinquent. Despite a bad attitude and some misplaced aggressions, Yunosuke does have some redeeming qualities, such as a code of honor that makes sense to nobody but him (though it keeps him out of doing anything truly idiotic) and a charitable nature.
As a human with a strange ability, he was recruited to fight alongside a yokai in the constant struggle against berserks.
Powers/Abilities: Able to manipulate smokes and gasses, Yunosuke found that he can also turn himself into a gaseous state, though that ability is still vastly untested and unstable. He can transform individual body parts with no issue, but finds full-body conversion quite difficult. He carries a few mixtures with him to be used in combat situations.
"The Natural"
Name: Tsuga Teijo
Age: 19
Rank: B
Bio: A yokai with impeccable manners and expensive taste, Teijo didn't seem like he would be the type to excel in combat, and for the most part that stands true. His talent for creating beasts by transforming his shadow, however, has its fair share of uses and he has thus managed to prove of worth to the Hunters.
If he doesn't have to use brute force, he won't, as he prefers creating smaller creatures such as birds because of their myriad uses. He is masterful when it comes to diplomacy, and could be well suited to tackle a job outside of bloodying up berserks, but this is the job he's chosen for himself.
Teijo often gives off an air of entitlement, as the Tsuga clan is an old and notable family, although they are hardly popular. Centuries back, Tsugas helped protect their fellow yokai from berserks and were rewarded handsomely for their efforts. Their descendants rarely showed such courage and most coasted by on their family name and inherited estates. Teijo wants to prove his clan can be heroic, but he can't shake a certain sense of provincal behavior that comes along with an upbringing in higher society.
Powers/Abilities: Able to transform his own shadow into any manner of animal, but the size of his shadow limits the size of the beast at the moment.
"The Bouncer"
Name: Akechi Shige
Age: 21
Rank: B
Bio: Shige was born into a family that embraces tradition and works hard to preserve it. Her mother and father inherited a kendo dojo that has been in their family for generations, and her parents and brother busied themselves with the ancient art and maintaining the years of history held within its halls. She, however, had no talent or patience for the form. Any match she won was thanks to her intimidating build and a desire to beat her opponent into submission, rather than relying on finesse. Eventually, Shige found herself mixed up with some of the gangs around the poorer areas of the city and became part of the muscle for the small-time G-Gang, frequently wielding a baseball bat or similar object in order to keep the group's enemies in line. In truth, she didn't care for this type of violence, which she considered aimless.
She wanted to feel like she was working towards something, and it was then that the idea of joining with a yokai to pummel a harmful creature seemed like a good idea.
Powers/Abilities: She hits things. Hard. Melee and blunt weapons champ.
