Alias: Kyubi 

Age: 25

There is grace and poise about Natsuya more so than others, he walks with elegance, his steps are light and are often unheard. He steps out of the shadows as if he commands them and entertains his admirers and enemies alike that he might be entirely the monster many think they are. Often given odd looks as he chooses to wear traditional Japanese clothing.

Traditionally when he’s not on a job, when is he never on a job, his casual clothing consist of many wafuku clothing. Hakamas with kimonos, hanten or other styles of coats depending on the weather. With geta often when he is not fighting.

When he is fighting or on duty he often wears karusan-bakama, with waraji, shinguards, and an armored kimono top with tekkou. 

His mask is less a traditional fox mask than others, choosing for it to appear just like the dog’s head, with wide ears, one of them has been clearing missing, and a veil.

His hair is black and often decorated with different types of hair decorations when he isn’t on the job. He stands about 5’7”, 170 cm, and weighs around 120 pounds, 54 kg. He tends to have one side of his hair longer than the other, and his irises are blue with a limbal ring of yellow. 

His Bikaku is that of Nine tails like that of the Kyubi beast of myth. While Natsuya might not be as fast as a Rinkaku, or Ukaku, he has some benefits of tails. Such as constricting and holding down his prey. He also isn’t as restricted with movement as other Bikaku might be considering he has nine appendages to chose from.

When bodyguarding Mika out in public during her tours and concerts, Honda Ayumi her manager has asked Natsuya to wear modern clothing.

Personality:

Natsuya is a quiet a soul, he doesn’t say much, doesn’t speak out of turn. Actually most of the time he’s a quiet old soul. Which creeps some people out because while he’s not near as hot blooded as many of these young people are these days. In fact most might joke that he might as well be an old man stuck in a young man’s body. All that handsome youth he has in his face is often betrayed by his my pace attitude. 

Not to say he isn’t efficient at his job, in fact he is quite efficient at what he does. Reliable and resourceful he is often best used as a spymaster ironically considering his kagune of birth. When Natsuya is working he can become quite ice cold to others, but that’s mainly because he’s focusing on the task at hand. 

Though he doesn’t say much even when he isn’t working. He often likes to converse through task. Some of his favorite past times when he’s not on the prowl, are flower arrangements. A task he was taught by a pseudo mother figure. Despite have no use for silverware, he likes to set the tables and likes to fold the napkins on the table for the Birdcage if Alice allows him.

Meanwhile, he also likes to play shogi and often when he gets the time he plays at local shops. He finds it peculiar, but something familiar. 

Though not everything you see is what you get with Natsuya. Being raised in the strict environment he grew up and picking up on the things he has picked up. Strict schedules and holding people to their promises is a must and an expectation. Anyone who doesn’t uphold their promises loses his respect. 

He also has a distaste for the noisy music of the current century and he also doesn’t like the way the youth conducts themselves. While most people try to laugh this off as his elderly tendencies coming in, there is a slight antagonistic viewpoint Natsuya has about it. Though his current job protecting Mika has made him ease up a little on the animosity towards “rebel youth culture”.

Equipment:

Folding Fan - as seen in his appearance 

Shogi Pieces - it’s clear in the felt bag where he carries his pieces, that someone had carved the symbols of the pieces into them. They hold significant meaning because they were gifts. 

Satchel - with pens, notebooks, and textbooks. He has decided that on his spare time he would like to educate himself.

Skills:

Ninetail Judo -

Natsuya grew up wrestling with his brothers and sisters, mainly his brothers. The techniques he would learn would be attached to the martial arts known as judo. Being a rather slow medium pace Kagune he learned in time to extend his Judo practice of takedowns, pins, and powerful chokeholds to extend to his kagune as well. Using some tails to subdue with pins, takedowns, even chokeholds if he so wishes, and other tails to cut if survivability is not a concern. Natsuya is deadly in battle, but he is also known to show restraint when need be with his arrange of non lethal takedowns if ordered.

Cold reading - 

Natsuya is very good at picking up people, he’s learned to read their body language and make general guesses about them based on the way they dress, or the way they present themselves. In this manner he tends to use the technique of scammers and mentalist, in order to make estimate assumptions of a person to direct them towards the answer he is looking for. 

Florisity - 

While Shogi might be a hobby of his, Natsuya tends to do better at floral arrangements. Something he spent hours sitting with his mother figure doing. He would spend hours with the right color coordination and the volume of flowers. Sometimes Natusya extends this to the vases of flowers in the Birdcage or working part time at the floral shop whenever they need help. Natsuya has an eye or a gift, or so believes the floral lady at the flower shop that he tends to help out.

History:

The Oda family is an old name and an even older bloodline. Mostly of Humans, though old stories tell tales of Ghouls who lived among them. The Oda family were a prevalent name in not only the Edo period, but extended well into the Meiji period. 

Though mainly only to be talked about as a family of darkness, satan worshipers, and monster tales of strangers in the night. All though very much true. The Oda family viewed the Ghouls as something to be worshiped or revered, not feared. They saw the Ghouls as being sent to Humans to wipe away the impure. 

The Oda family watching decades and eras change a way of life ingrained in their bloodline as a spiritual family for a long time living in a secluded shrine visited by only the truly faithful. They retreated and began different religious practices in hopes to gain a better future in the afterlife. 

Ghouls were often protected by the Oda family, said to come to the family estate and shrine for protection and well treatment. Sacrificial rites were made in their name, as a way to clean the impure and uncleaned. 

The ones who abandoned tradition for a more “modern” life. Girls mainly would go missing, ones seen as as impure. Eventually the village the family watched over was fedup enough with the Oda family, that they were attacked. In hopes to rid the family and the ghouls.

But the family legacy lived on for countless of decades. Hidden away in the mountains. No one dared venture to the shrine or the estate. Till they became more than an old wives tale or some kind of myth or legend. They were attacked several times by angry villagers, upset mothers and fathers. And saw great losses in their family members in that time.

Then during the World Wars the family saw a few years of peace as Japan rebuilt itself turning more and more modern before their eyes. Destroy every tradition they valued.

Natsuya was born in the modern era, as the family called it, in May just as spring was beginning to touch the Japanese countryside. He was born in an estate with no modern lighting, or modern accessories. Everything was done the way it had been done for countless years. Him and his brothers and sisters, some human, other ghouls, but all considered family under one name despite being more like cousins, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts.

The family was relying on their Recruiters, brave souls willing to go the city that disgusted them so much in order to bring gullible youthful individuals to the estate under the guise. Some promise that they would never actually keep. These individuals were considered impure, young men or woman who acted in rebellious anarchy ways that the family had so much disdain for.

As more young men and woman went missing, the more an investigation was set out to track where these individuals went.

In the meantime Natsuya was raised by the woman of the house. Not everyone had a singular individual mother, but instead they were ladies of the houses. Which seemed to rather betray their traditional way of life. 

The house is where he was taught many things. From the martial arts his fathers taught him, practiced with his brothers and sisters. To spending quiet evenings relaxing with his aunt to set the floral arrangements for the house dinners. 

Life then was strict, routine, there was an expectation that you were some kind of precious treasured individual when you were a Ghoul. Expected festivals. Expected celebrations no one else in the world had. All which would be shattered when the family was finally hit by the one power that could outright destroy them, the Government.

More specifically the CCG who ran investigations of the missing modern men and woman. The family finally may have met their match. At first fighting back the CCG. The lack of modern equipment or modern toolery was probably their downfall as the CCG had tools and utility clearly updated whenever there was a new breakthrough.

Few escaped. Some were arrested. Others killed for their resistance. And Natsuya was one of the escaped. One of the family Recruiters at that time had loose, loose connections or ties with someone who might know how to contact an Alice. 

That contact did contact Alice and Natsuya was brought to her fold. That was only six years ago. Natsuya current main task has been to keep Mika safe. 

For the last few years Alice and Natsuya have had a romantic passion, they aren't quite together because it's been far more informal than that. But he takes orders from Alice because he respects her. A lot of those who have allied with the Ghouls watch the unofficial couple unfold with a will they won't they, it be great if they did attitude.
