[b]EDIT:[/b] Both are done~ [hider= Master :: Private Investigator Souta Fujimoto ][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/IoDV0yt.png[/img] [h2]Private Investigator Souta Fujimoto[/h2] [i]"Corrupt's the wrong word for it - I prefer pragmatic."[/i][/center] [b]Username:[/b] virtualFear!~ [b]Age:[/b] 61 (Sixty-one). [b]Gender:[/b] Male ♂ [b]Country of Origin:[/b] Japan. [b]Servant:[/b] [i]Undefined.[/i] Attempted to get an Assassin-class servant during from his summoning ritual. [b]Abilities:[/b] As a mage, Souta has an affinity for lightning-based magic and wields it accordingly. As a former old-school detective, he's quite talented with police-style revolvers and old-fashioned "nightstick" police batons with the side-mounted handle. Whilst he values being able to use magic as an independent weapon, he often combines his lightning magic with his weapons; for example, augmenting his revolver with his lightning magic for lightning-infused shots, or running lightning into his specifically metal-made baton in an attempt to deal more damage to his targets. Other than that, he's a talented investigator and high speed driver. [b]Personality:[/b] Souta is a stoic, no-nonsense, 'ends justify the means' old man who values justice [i]above[/i] truth. As far as commitment goes, he's very black and white: if he's not interested he's most certainly not interested and is incredibly stubborn to get operating, but when he is interested he is absolutely ruthless and will stop at nearly nothing to achieve his goals; such partly explains his underhanded tactics when it comes to justice. Whilst Souta is stubborn regarding attachment, he's a bit of a softie when he eventually does become attached to someone or something; for example, his Jack Russel which now lives with his only son which he spoils rotten. [b]Short Biography:[/b] Souta was born and raised in Tokyo, local to the renowned Hie Shrine, as the oldest of 3 siblings. His father was a long-serving member of the Japanese Armed Forces in whatever state it may be at the time of setting; due to his father taking lots of time away in his service, he taught Souta to be strong and take up some of his duties in his absence. From a younger age, Souta was quite involved at Hie Shrine as a volunteer, initially helping out with rituals and cleaning; as such, the priests and maidens of the shrine acted as something of a second family to him. As a magus and the oldest child of the Fujimoto family, he was raised by his mother - the family magus - with the intention of taking the family crest and becoming the head of the family. He attended private education off the side throughout his adolescence although magic studies took priority. Regardless of significantly lacking time between his studies as a full-time student and a magus, he still found time to help at the local shrine; this provided a nice contrast to his developed pragmatic and stoic nature developed under the instruction of his father, as the shrine priests and maidens taught him to be kind and caring. Souta graduated from school a year in advance and dedicated his now vacant time to his magic studies, where he would take his mother's magic crest some years later. As the ultimate culmination of his father's teachings on strength and pragmatism, and the shrine's teachings of compassion, Souta went on to join the police force as a prefecture policeman. A successful career as result of his conveniently suitable teachings saw him briefly serving with a heavily armed response team before moving on to become a detective at his request. As a prefecture detective, Souta saw cases of varying topics - from homicide to arson to theft. As his career went on, more and more controversy began to follow him: he became involved with the Yakuza and would have them conduct parallel investigations, and if he was convinced that the suspect was guilty, have them forge evidence and conduct other nasty deeds in his favor. After a particularly controversial case where it was exposed he may have had the Yakuza "silence" witnesses to the defendant who he suspected to be involved with the same drug smuggling ring as the defendant, he left state law enforcement and enrolled into the Magus Acadmey of Ikazaki City, to further develop himself in his magic studies and concurrently drop out of law enforcement before he was fully exposed. Breaking ties with the local Yakuza went well as he had kept them out of trouble for years, and the debt was paid in full through that. Attending the academy as an older man was a little jarring, but he became something of a second teacher for his class - but on the way of life and Shinto, instead of magic. After he summoned his servant and completed his enrolled courses, he moved onto become a private investigator, this time with the room to fully manipulate magic and the underworld to his gain without interference. He was frequently hired by magus and magus associations, being a talented magus with extensive history in law enforcement, although his investigation styled accompanied by the, at the time, secret dealings of magus led to him becoming more of a magus hunter in practice; he was even hired by the conspirators who went to take over Japan a few times through cut-outs and middlemen, although he payed it no note. Come the take-over of the Japanese government by a particular covenant of magi and the consequent prosecution, he wasn't having a bar of it. He fled to the underground with the servant, ripe with the intention of bringing the conspirators to justice by any - more than likely, lethal - means necessary. [b]Quirk:[/b] For a "hard-as-nails old man", he's petrified of cockroaches - as in, horrendously, absolutely, well and truly petrified. He's also a devout Shintoist, if that qualifies for anything.
