[@Matador] This guy okay? [hider=Juichi Nakada] [b]Name:[/b] Juichi Nakada [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Personality:[/b] If you had to describe Juichi at a glance, most people who didn't really know him would say he is boisterous, animated and arrogant. He demands recognition, and is always trying to show off his strength to others. He seems greedy for attention and respect, often seen when he exaggerates his abilities and feats, along with those of his companions and friends. Despite this, however, Juichi is a man of determination, refusing to give in, no-matter the odds and displaying a high degree of honor. He shows great loyalty to others, even if he has just met them, getting him in more than a few negative encounters. In addition to this loyalty, however, he has an immense force of personality and charisma, which he has developed and uses in order to encourage and train the other Kendo club members. This makes him able to inspire people easily, and he does his best to keep his friends and loved ones constantly doing the best they can. Juichi will do everything in his power to protect not only every student he can, but also any human he finds in the tunnels. He prefers diplomacy to combat, but his strong moral compass will cause him to take the side of the victim if he finds people being attacked or harassed. Despite his reckless actions and bold personality, Juichi mainly uses his personality as a front in order to help support other people and encourage them to try as hard as they can, as well as a mask to hide his own anxiety and douobts. While he hates that some of the "wild" demons can be aggressive, he recognizes that they are useful tools. Juichi prefers supportive demons that use healing and buffing spells, but is complacent with any. His favorite demon from the app was Alice.

Tobei stands at 6'2, weighing about 195-200 pounds of mostly muscle. Tobei is of African-Japanese descent, and is prone to striking poses to complement his personality. [/hider] [b]Backstory:[/b] Two Moroccan citizens move to Japan in order to pursue their careers, eventually having a daughter, Chinatsu Tazi. Chinautsu later married Ito Nakada, giving birth to Juichi Nakada a year later. From a young age, it was clear that Juichi was meant to be an athlete. He developed extremely quickly, and always loved spending his time outdoors. However, at an early age, he has shown a difficulty at delicate tasks and things that require intelligence, preferring to use brute force to succeed. While this was well and good for sports, he has shown difficulties in the classroom, struggling to keep up his grades. Juichi always idolized Shounen heroes as role models, marveling at how everyone loved them and that they were always protecting people who couldn't protect themselves. Because of this admiration, he soon adopted their over-the-top and meant for comedy personality, emulating it to this day in order to encourage his friends to try their hardest at anything they do. His favorite character and personal role model was Feather Owl of the "Phoenix Ranger Featherman R" Series. By the time he entered Middle school, his grades weren't much better, but he was far stronger - He had started weightlifting in order to try and get a sport scholarship to a college. He was extremely popular among most of the students, mainly because of his exaggerated personality and impressive charisma. Some students, however, seemed to dislike Juichi - maybe they didn't like that he was always yelling while they were trying to study, or maybe they were a little racist or something. Either way, middle school saw a significant increase in the number of fights that Juichi participated in. Luckily, however, Juichi was one of, if not [i]the[/i] strongest person in the student body, and he was always able to repel his attackers. Eventually, he graduated middle school, enrolling into the local high school Juichi's life continued monotonously, and besides from the occasional scolding for bad grades, it passed without much incident. Juichi, after much deliberation, finally decided on a sport to choose for scholarships: Kendo. In his freshman year of high school, he entered into the Kendo club, rapidly gaining reputation for his impressive strength and natural talent. In addition, since he didn't seem fond of the idea of finding a part-time job, Juichi also joined the Disciplinary committee, viewing it as a way to protect the innocent like the heroes he respected in his youth and accepting that he couldn't become a hero in the real world. Juichi retained his explosive personality, which led to a massive reputation among the student body. A friend of his even recommended that Juichi sign up for student council president, but Juichi felt like he wouldn't be smart enough to manage the plethora of responsibilities that came with the title. As time went on, he eventually made it to his final year of high school. His senpai passed down the title of Kendo club president when he graduated, and Juichi accepted it somewhat apprehensively. He still didn't feel good about being in a position of authority, but everyone else in the club agreed that he would be the best choice. His position in the disciplinary committee didn't really rise, mainly due to his low grades, but he was well-respected for his ability to convince the school delinquents to follow the rules. Meanwhile, the stress was slowly building up. With higher rankings in both of his clubs, Juichi had barely any free time to himself, and the time that he did have to himself was taken up by his father lecturing him on finding a job and his mother complaining about his grades. Nevertheless, Juichi's personality remained the same, with very few, if anybody, being able to tell that he was severely stressed. While lying in his bed ready to sleep, he decided to check the app store for something to relieve stress and, after searching for awhile, he found it - The Demon summoning program. Despite the strange name, the app itself seeemed to be a game, and there were tons of positive reviews, so Juichi downloaded it onto his phone. He didn't have much time to spend on it between clubs and household chores, but it was doing a good job of relieving stress whenever he played - The game play was addicting, he could conect with a lot of students at school over it, and the games graphics were incredibly realistic, almost too much so considering it was a phone app. Time passed on for about three weeks, until Juichi was called out to Osaki station. To his surprise, the Kendo club was planning on throwing him a party for winning a recent match against a neighboring school! They said that after they went to a restaurant and ate, they would head to an actual dojo and practice with real blades! Of course they would only be cutting tatami mats, but It still sounded like an awesome time, and Juichi was extremely thankful to the group. Juichi grabbed his favorite katana from his collection (Which he only had because his father was merciful and convinced his mother it was okay), being sure to put it in it's casing and taking his carrying permit for good measure. Just wait until the guys in the club saw it, they'd be super jealous! Of course, Juichi did plan to share. Hell, he took his sharpening stone as well so that they didn't dull the blade and didn't need to use the dojo's katanas. He didn't live near Osaki station, so he would have to take the Yamanote line to make it there. Deciding to waste time, he opened the demon summoning app, only to see that all his demons were gone, vanished into thin air. Before he could comment, the tunnel was encased in darkness as the power cut out. (I can change or add stuff if anybody wants to tie their characters into his backstory.)

Luckily, he was bringing his favorite with him to show off to some of his kouhai. He has a sharpening stone which he planned to use to show his friends how to sharpen a blade. Other than that, he's only got his fists. Misc:[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdVo9vkl0NY]Theme song, just for fun[/url] [/hider]
