Since being assigned to a partner in S1, he has been quite lively and amicable, if even a little eccentric. He has an aloof air about him during meetings, and even in combat, however this aloofness is not to be mistaken with ineptitude. While he may seem like he's "not there", so to speak, his aloofness does not take away from his pace in combat or his attention in briefings. He's pretty happy-go-lucky, and generally friendly, although he can get easily frustrated like a child when he feels something is unfair (it might be important to point out, when he feels something is unfair towards [i]him[/i].) While he doesn't seem to have any particular enmity towards ghouls in general, he doesn't seem to have qualms against fighting and killing targets, although he can at times complain. [B]Appearance :[/b] Taiki has light brown, messy hair and light, greyish eyes. His stature is below the innvestigator average, standing at 1.84 meters and 73 kilos, but similarly to most graduates of the Sunlit Garden, his physical prowess is deceptively high. To some of his stricter coworkers' dismay, he rarely wears a suit and his tie is almost unfailingnly loose and poorly tied. His movements seem somewhat imbalanced his body swaying from side to side when he talks, leading to most people he meets considering him as an aloof and improper investigator. He's decently well built, but his body bulk is clearly not on par with most of his peers by rank. Ever since he acquired 0-PR (as described in [code]equipment[/code]), he carries his quinque in a brief case, but before that, he carried his bikaku-type sword (2x Grim 1/2, A+) in a custom violin case. When he was in the 0 squad, he had a briefcase for his bikaku-type spear (Serpent A), but rarely used the case while on a mission. He's waiting for a new violin case to be made to be for to 0-PR. [B]History :[/b] [b][i] [REDACTED] [/i][/b] After graduating from the Sunlit Garden [REDACTED] years ago, along with two other peers from his class, he was appointed to the 0 squad. During his time as an investigator in the zero squad, he participated in [ REDACTED ]. Three years ago, he was transfered to S3 with his classmates and partnered with higher ranking investigators. His first partner was First Class Akimoto Houzu, a strict and jaded investigator who had worked his way up to his rank over decades through hard work and grinding. So he was justifiably annoyed at a bratty upstart like Sora being paired with him right off the bat. It didn't help that Sora could actually keep up, even if as a secondary. It was fair to say that the two didn't click. After two months, Houzu put in a transfer to the S2 after taking a deep wound from a ghoul's ukaku kagune. However, Sora was not transfered with his senior partner but was instead assigned to another senior investigator in S1, a "Rising Star", so to say. Associate Special Class Ai Hassei was a good match for the young investigator. She had done her partnership with one of Sora's fellow alumni from the Sunlit Garden's Germany based academy, "Ozzie" Zweig, a First Class at the time. The two got along decently, as Hassei didn't hold the same contempt her predecesor did. Sora's skill grew considerably under her tutelage, thanks to the increase of the amount of investigations and raids they had been participating in, relatively to Houzu's more cautious approach. About over a year and a half into working together, they participated in a large scale raid in the 24th Ward. During the raid, Sora and Hassei worked with most of the other promising younger investigators in the operation to rout and corner potentially high rate ghouls in the sewer systems. While the death toll on the CCG's side was very high at the end of the raid, it was a defining experience for the next generation. During the award ceremony, Sora was awarded the single White Wing Medal for taking down an S~ rate, while Hassei was awarded the double White Wing and Silver Osmanthos. Along with many of the other young investigators, they were promoted as well. Sora attained Rank 1, while Hassei was promoted to Special Class. This meant Hassei would transfer to S3. While it wouldn't have been unheard of a junior investigator to be moved to S3 as a Special Class' partner, an investigator with only [REDACTED] (written over the black ink in white) [one year in S1] would be encouraged to gain more experience first. And so, he was assigned to his third senior partner: Kobayashi Taiki. Acording to Sora, Taiki was a combination of his two prior superiors. He was a young, talented investigator interested in doing the fieldwork needed for any proper investigation, similarly to Special Class Hassei. However, the effect of First Class Kobayashi's aversion to paperwork resembled the workload Houzu gave him out of disdain. Sora has been known to complain about the work, but his paperwork is not as lackluster as his attitude. Despite complaining about the work given to him, Sora seems to be fond of Taiki. Although, the same assessment was made during his time under Akimoto Houzu, despite the unreciprocated nature of the feeling at the time.
