Sometimes needing to be told "shutup" just so some sanity is kept. His father taught him how to be a gentleman and it is shown in his actions and simple gestures. Actions speak louder than words in his morals and values and will treat those accordingly. Now, if and when he overloads himself with energy and hurts himself, his mind seems to rewrite itself for a short period of time and he can take on just about any personality or persona and when it wears off, have no recollection of what had happened except for whatever blowback follows. He has master the art of apologizing because of this. [hr] [b]Background:[/b] Garin was born in Germany, but raised in Japan because of his fathers job requiring him to travel. At the time, his father had been given a promotion requiring him to move to Japan when Garin was only 6. The move was hard for his parents but he was young enough to worry more about playing and being a child. Japan was an interesting country, its culture and people were very different from what he remembers Germany being like and the expectations were even higher. It didn't take long before Garin had gotten into his first fight and it was over something that was insignificant but enough to show him where he stood amongst those around him but this never stopped him from trying to be the best. He thrived in school for the most part and joined sports in the meantime. The language was hard sure and the people were a bit harder on him but he found the right group and hung around them for a time. It wasn't until the age of 9 did his quirk kick in when he was in school. He had the flu and didn't feel good, requesting to go to the nurses office. When Garin had gotten up to leave, his body seized before he discharged his first pulse, shutting the school's electricity off for a minute before it came back on but that would be the least of his problems, the kids around him needed medical attention. Some had gotten nerve damage from the blast and others ended up in seizures or convulsions. His parents were called in and told he would no longer be allowed to go to school because of his ability being a bit dangerous. Instead an alterative was given, Kosei Academy. Garin's parents agreed to this and he was transferred quickly. [hr][hr] [b]Quirk:[/b] [u]Blitzkrieg (Lightning War)[/u] Garin has the natural ability to create electrical currents and fields. What aids him in this is due to a couple things. His body's natural electrical current is well above the normal human and this is also possible thanks to the body's ability. He is able to create his own electricity however, this can cause heavy strain on the body as too much will shut him down or send him into a seizure. Sturm can generate large electric currents by way of a highly specialized nervous system that has the capacity to synchronize the activity of disc-shaped, electricity-producing cells packed into a specialized electric organ. The nervous system does this through a command nucleus that decides when the electric organ will fire. When the command is given, a complex array of nerves makes sure that the thousands of cells activate at once, no matter how far they are from the command nucleus. When activated, it releases around no less then 1 volt per cell equaling to more than one million volts. It is enough to stun an enemy or send them into muscular convulsions if not death depending on the health of his opponent. He has learned slightly how to advance this ability to shoot out a wide and branching arch of "lightning". Unfortunately it is still in its developmental stage and needs a lot of work but it works similarly to a tesla coil striking at a metal rod but with less accuracy. [b]Talents:[/b] Garin has been classically trained in the violin, cello and piano but prefers the violin. He does play the guitar as well but mostly as a hobby. He does have a little bit of hacking knowledge. While in japan he has taken up martial arts so he does have some hand to hand experience but just enough to get by.[/center][/HIDER] [HIDER=Gi Yamaguchi-Gumi][CENTER][img]http://ddn.i.ntere.st/p/7788463/image[/img] [b][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QljRe99OMCU]The Azure Hills and the Rising Sun came together to bring me into the world...Name's Yamaguchi Gi. Remember that name...[/url][/b][/CENTER] [center][b]Name:[/b] Gi Yamaguchi-gumi (He usually doesn't add the gumi) [b]Age:[/b] 16 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Height:[/b] 176cm [b]Weight:[/b] 68kg [hr][hr] [center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7b/d1/c7/7bd1c7c25ebc3f8396ea3eba63e24a48.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Personality:[/b] As the quote unqoute [i]"grandson"[/i]of the current Yamaguchi-Gumi leader, he has inherited the prideful and violent aura that comes with the name Yamaguchi-gumi as well as the aggressive attitude and brutal opinions but he can back this up with fighting prowess. He is never one to give up, willing to go as far as death for those close to him, the ride-or-die phrase befitting of him. [hr][hr] [img]http://orig00.deviantart.net/ccea/f/2015/016/0/b/attack_on_titan_levi_by_delila2110-d8e4gy5.png[/img] [b]Background:[/b] Gi's father was not the greatest of people. Working a shit job in a shit area dealing with shit people. Stress needs to be released somehow right? Well, through the wonders of alcohol he snuffed his stress with, so long as it stayed in his system, that way he wouldn't remember beating the young Gi for problems others caused for him. His mother wouldn't step in, not anymore at least. After a broken nose, three cracked ribs and a fractured jaw, not including the hospital trip, his mother no longer attempted to stop the father from hitting him. Luck still favored Gi and his mother, as the cops were called and eventually the father was taken away. Unfortunately, this put his mother and himself in a financial predicament. Gi and his mother were on the streets by the age of 6 but still managed to continue his one hobby he had, martial arts. This is when Gi knew what he had to do, hustle. He started with pickpocketing and was caught the first two times, earning a very hard ass kicking before figuring out what not to do. Slowly he branched out into other crimes like stealing and boosting. This had gained the attention of a certain yakuza family by the name of Yamaguchi-gumi. They promised that they would take care of him and his mother if he came along. Gi didn't take long to say yes. With their help, he honed in his skills and helped teach him the martial arts he wanted. They saw potential with the boy, and they had no idea the amount of potential. They saw it in him more so when he picked up the blade, seemingly to finesse it with ease. Rusty in style and attack but a battle prowess that complemented the rustiness of his movements. It was by the age of eight did his quirk kick in when a gang fight broke out at a local noodle shop. A gun was pulled and fired at him when he was scared and cornered. "Move...Moooove.....MOOOOOOOVEEEEEE!" His eyes flicked red and in an instant he dodged the bullet and managed to get into the opposing gang members personal space and stabbed him, killing him instantly. After that he collapsed, having exerted all that energy to dodge. These actions in this event had gotten the attention of the leader of the family. Yamaguchi-Gumi requested Gi stay by his side and continue under his guidance. Years had passed and over time with much training and exercise, he had managed to control his quirk with a bit more ease, though still imperfect. Granddad Gumi as Gi calls him, encouraged him to go to the academy in the hopes to better himself before returning to the family. With this he set off to the school, intentions to do just as he was asked, but fate could have other plans. He has started liking the school and the people he is around. Thoughts of becoming a hero have grown in his mind and his connection to the Yakuza is slowly dimming. Is the possibly of Gi becoming a hero high? No one knows, not even himself.

His eyes give it away first, changing to a red while the pupils split into three. He is able to move at high speeds and react faster than most, a byproduct of his body's natural muscular and nervous system. But what makes this "Lightning blade" is the fact he complements this with his prowess and finesse of the blade. The combination of speed and edge is quite the vicious quirk. However, the one thing that he lacks is stamina. High speed movements do exert a lot of energy and currently he can only last about fifteen minutes in consistent movement. Should he exceed this or attempt to, he is looking at muscular damage if not worse. If he does exceed it, the worst possible thing to happen is sudden cardiac arrest. Besides the outer workings of his quirk the inner workings are interesting. His muscles are shaped and formed differently from most with a much more lean design despite its build. His heart usually pumps twice as fast as everyone else when in a calm state, including those who also have quirks but will triple in speed when exerting energy. Should he exert more than necessary, his heart will begin to pump out of rhythm and begin causing pain with the worst case the valves and aorta tear sending him into cardiac arrest. [b]Talents:[/b] Through the years of law breaking, he has learned many unneeded but useful skills. It had taken time but he is practically a pro with lock picking and hotwiring. He has been training kenjuitsu and kempo since he was 5 and has become quite the fighter, though more so with handling a blade than anything else. Not a talent per say, but he has learned how to cope with physical pain a bit more so than others thanks to the violent background he has had.[/center][/HIDER]
