Name: Takahashi Kato
Nickname: He goes by his last name, Kato.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Powers/Skills: Superspeed (fastest that Kato has ever gone is 359 MPH, though he can definitely go faster if he pushes himself). Also makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich, though that's not exactly useful.
Power limits/Weaknesses: If Kato runs at a speed of over 650 MPH for more than a minute, he'll die of exhaustion. He also has crippling arachnophobia, so it'd be best to keep any spiders
far away from him.
Species: Human
Appearance: Click. Usually wears the outfit seen in the photo (without the gloves and goggles), though sometimes he switches it up. The jacket has
this design on the back, and is a memento of his former life as a gang member.
Crush: None, yet.
Relationship: Single (straight)
Personality: Kato is a fun-loving, energetic and often annoying guy. He likes to crack jokes and talk with everyone, no matter how much they tell him to shut up. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone, no matter how much spite they've showed him in the past. Most would think that he doesn't have a single bad bone in his body due to his cheerful personality, but of course most don't know about his past as a street punk; in fact, most of his personality is from his attempt to turn over a new leaf.
History: "So you wanna know about little old me, eh? Well, I'll give you the rundown... Heh, run. Get it, 'cause I run a lot? Uhhh... Let's get on with the story."
"So I was born in the rough part of a city. What city? None-Of-Your-Businesstropolis, that's what city. Anyway, growing up I never knew about my powers, and when I found about them when I was 11 or so I never used them because I was afraid I'd hurt people or that they'd all think I was a freak. When I was 14 or so, I joined this biker gang, the Caps. Looking at it now, they were a bunch of a-holes, but back then I worshiped the ground they walked on."
"Simply put, I was a jerk back then. Always picking fights, banging girls, and popping pills. I got a girl pregnant once, y'know. When she told me and asked me to quit the gang and help her raise the kid, you know what I did? I laughed and told her to go screw herself. That's how much of an unrepentant d-bag I was. Tried to find her recently to help raise the kid, but it turns out she had an abortion... Not sure how I feel about that."
"Well when I was 17, a friend of mine, Shin, finds out he has these powers, telekinesis and pyrokinesis and all this other kinesis stuff. He gets a God complex and wrecks half the city before I stop him using my own power. I expected people to shun me after that, but it turned out they're all proud I did it. Thought I was a hero and stuff. Heh. Kato and hero shouldn't go in the same sentence together."
"That experience made me realize how much of a punk I was. But it also made me realize that I could've been
a lot worse. Shin found out about his powers and tried to kill everyone, but when I found out about my powers I hid them from people out of fear that I
would kill them. I realized that there was at least
some good in me and chose to turn over a new leaf. Part of that was coming to this mansion, so I can be around other people like me and learn to control my powers. So, uh, yeah... I guess I'll end with the good old Cap motto: 'good for health, bad for education'..."
"Man I love saying that."
Other: Let's do this. Also,
desired room.
