Name: Iwa Hoshi Age: 20 Role: [s]Confident Shounen Protagonist[/s] Charismatic Hand-to-hand fighter Background: Raised in an Eastern country by a master of martial arts known as Uncle, Iwa began training to be a great fighter at a pretty young age. Despite living a fairly hermetic life with Uncle, modern things were commonplace. In fact, most things that would be considered normal for a household were present. The only thing Iwa could not do was cut his hair. As Uncle said, hair was the only mortal thing that was equivalent to life. When cleaned of all the impurities, hair is beautiful and shiny, but when left untended hair becomes a mess of knots and filth. Iwa always took this to heart, but his guess as to way Uncle chose this metaphor was because he was a huge pervert. However, Uncle was also a skilled master of Muay Thai, Boxing, and several other hand-to-hand styles that Iwa never learned. Then there was his own style: Shooting Star. This style would become Iwa's main focus before departing from Uncle's house years later, but not before learning Muay Thai and Boxing. After almost two decades of training, Iwa decided he had spent enough time at Uncle's house and prepared to leave. His first order of business was a change of clothes and a haircut. For years he was only allowed to wear training gear and a kimono, so he switched things up (see below). After a not so heartwarming goodbye, Iwa set out to find work and was doing that before he met the group. Personality: At first, charismatic, confident and brave. Later, I'll have him sulk down a bit (either through plot stuff or off-camera stuff) but for now and through most of the story. Likes/Dislikes: Iwa likes fighting, having fun, candy, and being a service to others. He dislikes murder, criminals, and cheaters. Everything else is neutral or he just doesn't know he likes or dislikes it yet. Hobby(ies): Iwa's hobbies are boxing, Muay Thai, and questing. Habit(s): Iwa's habits are like any other. For one, he cannot stop eating a star shaped candy. It's gotten better over the years to the point where he only eats three a day (four if a fight is involved). Next, he has a habit of overstating his opinion and saying what's on his mind. Skill/Ability: Iwa is a very skilled hand-to-hand fighter. He know's boxing, muay thai, and shooting star style. He has a magical ability on his right hand that improves his punching strength tenfold. [b]Extras [/b] Appearance: At the start of the story, Iwa styled the hair he didn't cut off into a pompadour. He wears a small, long-sleeved red jacket (think the jackets from AoT but not as doofy) a black undershirt, black pants and some grey and black tennis shoes. He's caucasian, has reddish brown eyes and black hair. On the back of his right hand is a pale, yellow star that is barely visible. Power: His star-based ability that he uses alongside his hand-to-hand fighting does more than just enhance his punching ability, but these other powers won't become available until character development says it's necessary. This section will be updated when that happens.
