[hider=Osamu Ichikawa] [table][row][cell][center]________________________________________ [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/0199151e-0825-768c-9324-f0c01d20a0e5.webp[/img][/center] Name: Osamu Ichikawa Age: 17 Gender: Male Nationality: Japanese Personality: 'A delinquent and brute who you're better off not getting involved with...' At least, according to those around him. In reality, he's a deceptively kind and extremely loyal individual, who goes out of his way to help the people who give a damn about him. On the other hand, he has a short temper, and is almost constantly trying to seek some form of attention from others, even if that comes in a negative form. He's smarter than he looks, having the potential to be a fantastic student, even if he doesn't do more than the bare minimum academically. [hider=History] Osamu was born as the third of five children, with his father working in tech and his mother being a stay-at-home mom. While most of his family got along well and had great relationships with one another, Osamu fell through the cracks. It started with accidents, things like needing to wait extra time at places or being walked home by people who knew him because his family got mixed up in something and forgot to pick him up. Then it was things that were minor to some, but not to a developing child, such as forgetting a birthday, or forgetting a promise that was made. After a while, Osamu decided that if his parents and siblings weren’t going to acknowledge him, he was going to do whatever he could to earn their attention. Between the ages of eight and thirteen, he spent a lot of time and effort in learning another language online, learning to read above his grade level, and excelling in school and extracurricular activities. Despite this, he still ended up forgotten, as the neglect grew worse and his siblings were increasingly favored, he had to learn how to cook because there would be days where his parents took the family out to eat and forgot him at the house. At some point around entering middle school, Osamu snapped. He decided that if his own family wasn’t going to acknowledge him for doing well, then he would see if acting out got him any form of attention. So, he beat up a bully, got sent home, and received an earful from his mother about getting into fights. But being scolded was better than being outright ignored in the young Osamu’s mind. Which is where things started to take a turn. Osamu started doing things to get attention and to piss off his parents, which started with hanging out with delinquents and getting into fights. The people he chose to surround himself with only encouraged Osamu to keep going down this path, and towards the end of middle school, Osamu had his first experience with being arrested. He was dragged home by a disappointed police officer for skipping curfew, minor theft, and evidence of underage drinking. Needless to say, his family weren’t thrilled. During his first year of high school, Osamu got arrested another six times for various offences, including; assault, possession of an illegal substance, underage drinking, skipping curfew and attempted theft. But despite all of that, he never once resisted arrest, and due to his age and the low severity of his crimes, never spent more than a night in jail. The officers started to get to know him and have tried steering him down a different path, but so far, it isn’t working. One thing they have managed to convince him of, however, is that they know who he is, and if they catch him doing something, he was better off just coming quietly instead of trying to run. At the tail end of his first year of high school, Osamu realized his life was just going downhill from here unless something changed. With a desperate desire in his heart, he left the school and checked his phone to find a strange app had appeared on it, asking him a question. “What Is Your Desire?” He thought it was strange, but being a dumb kid and having nothing to lose in his mind, he answered honestly.

A crimson mantle that hangs from his shoulders. His face and head are mostly uncovered. [*]Mask: A steel facemask that covers the upper half of his face, with horizontal slots that mimic a visor from a European knight's helmet. [*]Authority: [b]Seize the Throne[/b] - Osamu can compel individuals to focus their attention on him, inspiring a sense of reverence in those around him. While he can control the intensity of this compulsion, the range increases exponentially alongside it. This effect in and of itself doesn't force targets to bend to his will, and results vary depending on their opinion of Osamu, and what he's asking them to do.[/list] Main Weapon: Light Machine Gun Secondary Weapon: Large Knife [/cell] [cell][center]________________________________________ [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/01992a55-3766-714b-a841-74c677cf536c.webp[/img][/center] Arcana: Emperor Name: Prince Lackland Historical Information: Lackland was the nickname given to Prince John of England for his lack of ownership over any significant amount of land. John was the younger brother of Richard the Lionheart. He attempted to overthrow his brother’s holdings in England from his administrators while his brother fought in the third crusade, and failed. He reigned as the king of England from 1199 to 1216, and is remembered as a spiteful, petty, and cruel man. He is most well-known today as a staple foe in Robin Hood stories.

Charges: 2 Special Skills: [b]Cruel Order[/b] - Based on the cruel efficacy of Prince John’s rule.
