Topics like political and corporate corruption, especially when it disenfranchises less fortunate people, rile him up, but he's a fairly laid back person otherwise. That's a far cry from his more aggressive demeanor back in the day. The rage of being a victimized test subject no longer consumes him; the epic conclusion that left his captor's demise in ruins no doubt attributing to that. [b][color=DarkViolet]History:[/color][/b] Masaki Murakami was a freelance journalist for a maverick news company. He traveled across the world to exploit corrupt politicians and corporations. One of those corporations was called Cronos, a shadowy organization that had an alien council of Zoalords, whose agenda was to ultimately control the world by turning humanity into biologically engineered creatures. In the midst of his investigative journalism, he was kidnapped by members of Cronos and taken to their headquarters in Arizona. Scientist there conducted a series of experiments on Murakami in an effort to produce something they've never attempted before: A human Zoalord. Through trial and error, they were able to implant a zoacrystal on his forehead without catastrophic results. However, there were traitorous scientist attached to the project planning to sabotage Cronos operations. They managed to help Murakami escape captivity, taking him into hiding, where he networked old contacts and assumed a cover as an anonymous journalist. The years that followed became a restless endeavor for Murakami as he was fully engaged in a war against Cronos. Aligned with like-minded activist, they managed to successfully destroy the corporation, along with its alien Zoalord rulers. During his stand off with Cronos and the Zoalords, he underwent another experimentation. The resistance needed more powerful weapons, and though they had them in the form of enhanced bio-booster armors like the Guyver units, it was not enough to take on the powerful Zoalords. Thus, Murakami and a team of scientist found an old alien research ship at the bottom of the ocean. He was able to make contact with the ship's A.I. and access one of its experimental power cores. It fused with the Zoacrystal on his forehead, and in doing so, enabled him to grow into a giant while in his Zoalord form. This upgrade also unlocked a hyper transformation. While dangerous to perform, it gave Murakami a powerful boost that turned the tide in the war against the Zoalords. With Cronos gone, the members of the resistance went their separate ways. Other anomalies were cropping up all over the world and Murakami felt obliged to use his powers to continue safeguarding earth from harm. He is still an active journalist, and uses that as a way of traveling the globe and assisting those in need. [b][color=DarkViolet]Powers/Abilities:[/color][/b] [list] [*][i]Zoacrystal[/i] - The result of experimentation from Cronos headquarters. Murakami has an emerald zoacrystal embedded into his skull. It can appear and reappear on command, usually revealing its jeweled appearance when Murakami is transforming or using telepathy. It is the direct source for all of his powers like super strength and speed, with a special affinity for manipulating gravity energy. [*][i]Telepathy[/i] - Like all the Zoalords, Murakami possesses telepathic control over Zoanoids and other lesser creatures. This also enables him to make psychic contact with all sorts of beings while in both human and Zoalord form. [*][i]Zoanoid Buster[/i] - A modified .347 Colt magnum revolver that Murakami uses in his regular human form. The rounds that this gun fires carry three times the amount of gunpowder of the average magnum. Because of his Zoalord constitution, he's able to absorb the recoil without injuring himself. [*][i]Gravity Blade[/i] - A blade of gravitational energy that produced from his hand when in zoalord form. [*][i]Barrier[/i] - Murakami can project a barrier around himself to block attacks. He can also super charge the barrier to repel foes and cause irreparable damage upon contact. [*][i]Flight[/i] - Murakami is gifted with the power of flight while in the zoalord form. He can also fly in space for a short amount of time. [*][url=http://orig06.deviantart.net/ff10/f/2007/246/a/9/imakarum_mirabilis_guyver_by_0kronos0.jpg]Hyper Transformation[/url]: Murakami is able to gain an exponential increase in power, tripling his abilities for a short amount of time. Hyper Transformation puts a great stress on his body, which can prevent him from transforming into his zoalord form for a certain amount of time (days, sometimes weeks).
