Personality: Isamu likes to project the image of a carefree, maybe slightly ditzy or bumbling high school student who doesn't take anything seriously. While he'd really like that to be all there is to him, the truth is that it's all just an act while his true nature is that of a serious guardian against the supernatural who finds himself heavily burdened by his powers. The ability to sense memories of the past through objects can overwhelm him without careful precautions, and sensing people's emotions at will has made him somewhat of a jaded person. Isamu's knowledge that there are things out there that most people can't explain or sense only adds to his sense of burden and isolation, and while he acts as though photography and journalism are his life's passions he also sees them as a necessary tool to put himself in a position to monitor anything paranormal or unusual due to his powers.

Brief Backstory: Isamu first manifested his powers at around five years old, but after telling his parents about seeing other people's memories and being treated by several doctors of varying types he learned not to mention them. Instead he pretended to throw himself into an ordinary yet happy school and home life while keeping an eye out for any sort of information on the paranormal or things beyond ordinary understanding. In order to try and prepare himself for any eventuality and also just for the sake of discipline and control he started taking up various martial arts. Even when it came time to join school clubs, he picked the photography and journalism clubs, to put himself in a position to hear and potentially investigate any unusual news that might link back to his powers or the paranormal.

Skills: Aside from his powers Isamu is a very skilled martial artist for his age in both armed and unarmed styles. In addition Isamu is a decent photographer and journalist. He likes to cook as he says it relaxes him, though he somehow manages to do most of his cooking while entirely wearing oven mitts.

Abilities: Isamu is an ESPer, a human with psychic powers. Specifically he has psychometry, Empathy and the ability to sense and analyze monsters and supernatural beings. Psychometry allows him to feel the past and memories by touching objects with his hands, though he often can't get a complete read on things and usually has to wear gloves to avoid being overwhelmed. Psychic Empathy lets him sense the emotions of others even if they're trying to keep them hidden, though he has to consciously focus to use it and can only read the feelings of one person at a time. Finally Isamu can sense the presence of monsters and supernatural beings, and if he takes pictures of them with a camera of any sort, the resulting photo will give him a sort of analysis of them.

Archetype: Hephaestus, which allows Isamu to make various weapons and fix or sometimes 'upgrade' things. Although the weapons and changes he makes to objects only last for a short while, he can even make much weaker copies of mythical or legendary weapons.
