He will always try to observe things logically rather than emotionally, even to a fault. Everything has a reason. While being a sensible thinker is a great facet, Haru focuses solely on what logic would lead him to believe - which makes him miss things that could happen for nonsensical reasons or "just because".[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Bright[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Haru is, at his core, bright in both intellect and outlook. While being an analytic thinker is nice, it is nothing without the intelligence to back it up. Inventive - Creative; it does truly seem that Haru's quirk was tailor-made for a thinker such as himself. While this side of him is rather persistent, his bright personality is still.. overshadowed by his extreme paranoia.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=SILVER][b]Paranoid[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Harukami is, well, simply over-paranoid. Nobody and nothing is safe from suspicion as far as he is concerned. He's always on the lookout for a betrayal or unexpected turn of events. Lies, inconsistencies, and the like are always at risk of being shone upon by the searchlight that is Haru's [i]chaotic caution[/i], of sorts.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [/cell][cell][b]Physical Description[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Standing at 183cm (about 6'0") in height, Harukami is relatively tall - standing a good few inches above most of his peers. Aside from his height though, one of the first things that would draw one's eyes about him are the golden-beige canid ears that sit atop his head, as well as the similarly-colored, and rather "floofy", tail that he possesses. These light beige tones, when combined with his mostly-dark-brown head of hair, which he is content to leave semi-unkempt, create a mottled contrast that persists regardless of his attire. Despite his height and actual [i]lean[/i] athleticism, he carries himself with an odd caution of sorts. He seems as though he takes careful note to not touch anything he doesn't specifically mean to, and always appears ready to spare a glance over his shoulder. Most of the time, however, he doesn't seem to possess a particular sense of nervousness - he just usually seems.. ready. For.. [i]something[/i]. [/indent][/color] [b]Personal History[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Harukami's young life was unusual, but not entirely alien to some citizens of Japan. This was due to the simple fact that he was borne to a loving mother who was, unfortunately, partnered with a.. [i]less-than-genial[/i] member of the local Yakuza. This led to a [i]less-than-pleasant[/i] life, in turn. Sure, they wouldn't go hungry, but Haru's father wasn't as nurturing as he or his mother really needed him to be - he was very much the opposite. Nevertheless, they stayed strong for one another. Violence and manipulation was a way of life for the young lad -- especially since his father seemed keen to involve him in his felonious activities. It is well known, however, that the night is darkest before the dawn. While it may seem heartless to think, it truly was a windfallen stroke of luck that the Yakuzaman was struck down at the hands of a hero around the time Harukami turned thirteen. His father's arrogance had allowed Haru and his mother to escape this life. And while things were financially rough, they would at least have freedom now. The two were barely able to make it by for almost a year and a half, until lady luck seemed to finally smile upon them once again. Harukami's mother met a man who was, predictably, much more amicable than the last. He was kind - more humble than one would expect. To Haru he seemed.. nice. Perhaps [i]too[/i] nice. Like an angel. Not to be trusted. However, he stayed. He wasn't like his birth father - he was respectable, and he turned their life around. Haru still had his cautions - just like he had with anyone else, but now, after almost two years, he was at least comfortable around him. Afterall, he made his mom happy and had changed their lives for the better. But their past wasn't just that - it had shaped who Haru and his mother were. Haru would never forget that, or wish it upon anybody. Abusive, horrible people like his birth father were wandering the streets and threatening people every day - and it made him feel sick to his stomach to think that villains could run amok unopposed. [/indent][/color] [b]Character Arc[/b] [color=#807B84][indent]Haru is a bit of a weird one. In terms of development, he would largely grow through abstract means or development of personality, rather than hard facets of his quirk or anything else. He has no friends, though he does truly want them somewhere inside - he's just too distracted by what most would consider a very negative, overshadowing personality aspect - his paranoia, of course. Something which.. I'm honestly not sure can be fixed, but we will see. This also, in an odd way, extends to his quirk. Eventually growing to become more of a teammate to his quirk [i]itself[/i] would be a good development piece for him, since his quirk manifests as a sentient entity that isn't really forced to cooperate with him. This bond is the only way his quirk can really strengthen in any way - as more of the Tome Beast's power is locked behind the strength of their link.[/indent][/color] [b]Quirk Description[/b] [color=#807B84][indent][color=e2c75f]Tome Beast[/color] is a quirk that manifests in the form of a sentient, canid-like monster that resides within Harukami himself. While there are many caveats to the quirk, the crux of it is that this beast, which Harukami has dubbed [color=e2c75f]Akifusa[/color] [i](Autumn Tuft)[/i], is capable of summoning a book in which it can inscribe [i]contingency plans[/i], which alter predicted events in limited fashion. There are several limits to these contingency plans - the foremost being that Akifusa must sacrifice one of its black claws to create one. These black claws - of which there are currently three - regenerate at midnight, at which point all un-triggered contingencies fade, [i]or[/i] regenerate individually whenever a contingency is triggered. Notably, creating contingency plans takes several minutes, making it impossible to configure them mid-combat. Aside from being unable to retroactively alter events or their results, these contingencies plans are largely limited to being responsive in nature, and as such require a good deal of foresight and particular planning to be useful. Also, while the triggering event has to be inscribed rather specifically, the effect Akifusa creates in retaliation can draw from a very wide pool of possible effects limited mostly by Harukami's imagination - though there is notable limits to the raw power of the effects that can be produced. While paling in comparison to the Contingency Beast's true power, Harukami does inherit some lesser physical features of the creature residing within him. Aside from some visible canid attributes, Haru possesses slightly increased strength and endurance, and markedly enhanced speed and bodily senses.[/indent][/color] [/cell][/row][/table][/COLOR] [/hider]
