Name-Takaki Isamu (高木 勇)
Age-25
Gender-Male
Race- Human
Appearance- Personality-Takaki has a great understanding of people on the battlefield but limited understanding of people off the battlefield. This is especially true for women, as he's blissfully ignorant about most of the differences women have from men. He treats them like men most of the time, both in combat and off. This isn't to say that he isn't attracted to women (in fact it's quite the opposite), he just don't know how to interact with them very well on a personal level due to being rather isolated during his training, having interactions only with fellow (male) ninjas on occasion. Takaki has had OCD as long as he can remember, so he loves everything neat and tidy, even going as far as having a fighting style that limits his opponents blood loss that could splatter onto him or otherwise while still being lethal. Sometimes he spares opponents if he can't finish them off without the high risk of getting himself messy. He hates sloppy formations and picks off opponents who are disorganized. If the enemy forces are attacking him in two groups then he wants to balance out his killing on both groups. Besides his quirks, or perhaps because of them, he's very professional and serious about his work. He's always prepared with everything in order unless the enemy managed to luckily catch him off guard. He has no problem killing off enemies when need be and otherwise doing what has to be done. He lacks some empathy and is a tad bit selfish, although his heart is in the right place...usually. He likes gambling (mainly games that allow him to bet on even numbers) and drinking sake.
Abilities Ninja-ness-Takaki is well trained in all things ninja from stealth to...stealthy assassinations...to stealthily sneaking around, and he's also good at stealth if you haven't guessed. He's a ninja for crying out loud, so a random person cannot just randomly spot him when he's done nothing to give away his position. He's also trained in blow darts, throwing stars, katanas, anything stereotypically associated with ninjas is fair game for me to claim that he can do. However, I'm speaking of only the physically possible stuff for this. If it's something magical such as running across water then I must specifically state this.
Observation- He can study his surrounding and his opponent's body language well (when it comes to combat) in order to predict their movements or identify weaknesses, including if they're off balance because his OCD helps him quickly identify such weaknesses. A hole in their defenses? OCD helps him out there too. Basically, he's spent his whole life observing the world around him to make sure that everything fits as it should.
Powers Physical abilities- His movements can be as fast as a blur to a normal human and he has reaction times to keep up with this quickened pace. He has superb hand eye coordination and is good with finer detailed movements of the hands as well, leading to expert precision.
Sensing- All five of his senses can be magically enhanced, although only one at a time, up to five times the average human through intense focus. He can also sense a person's aura, able to tell from it if they mean ill intent or not unless they're good at hiding their emotions. He can also sense immediate danger even without the aid of looking at a person's aura, but wouldn't know any details about what danger it could be. Maybe it's just something his OCD can't stand, leading to a non-serious false alarm to distract him.
Poison- Takaki has control over poison. He can create poison in liquid or gas form with a variety of effects, including death, but also any other symptoms that one might get from other types of poison. The main downside is that it takes more time inhaling his poison for the more dangerous poison types to take effect. If his aim is to give you a single minor sneeze then you'd only have to inhale it for a second or two, but if he wants you dead then it would take around a minute. Any poison that takes effect after a certain length of time, if the opponent gets to fresh air, completely nullifies any poison building up during that time. Once the poison effect activates, however, that won't save them. The poison, both in liquid and smoke form is always visibly purple. It can dissipate to cover more distance, but the lighter and lighter purple the less potent it is, thus requiring more time to inhale before the poison takes effect. The liquid form is more potent and he can store it for future use, but it's obviously harder to take effect due to having to get the liquid into their bloodstream (through drinking or open wounds). Besides inhalation time, the more drastic the effect for either form the more energy it takes to generate that poison. It's important to note that his poisons can have positive affects as well, such as an increased feeling of bravery, although his positive affect poisons aren't as powerful right now and they can only give a very modest supplement to people's natural healing processes.
Weaknesses*Not very good in a direct fight, especially one that's prolonged.
*If his movement is restricted then he's in big trouble.
*He sometimes becomes too focused directly on his opponents rather then himself, or even his surroundings in general.
*His OCD can sometimes get the better of him.
EquipmentWeapons-Takaki, being a ninja, has a lot of weapons at his disposal. He wields a duel sickle weapon (shown in the picture), which is his most commonly used weapon for mid-range confrontations. He can use the chain to tie up or otherwise restrict his opponents movements, strangle them, or to swing one of the sickles out for a ranged attack in a way that splatters any blood far away from him. For a more heavy duty close quarter weapon he has a katana, although he doesn't like fighting too close with a weapon designed to make enemies bleed unless he has no other options. That doesn't mean he isn't good with it. In fact his katana skills are legendary, even better then with his sickles. Smaller weapons at his disposal includes multiple kunai, a blowgun, multiple shuriken, and a bag of small spikes able to be tossed on the ground (to harm an opponent's foot while stepping on them). He has some training with a bo staff, although he currently is not carrying one unless otherwise stated.
BiographyTakaki was born in Japan to the Takaki ninja clan. Most of his life has been spent in training by his overbearing father, who expects a lot out of Takaki due to him being his only child. Takaki rarely interacted naturally with people during his time growing up and doing brutal training methods. When it did interact with others it was as an enemy, sparing or otherwise. Takaki has always hated making a mess, so his job as a ninja was quite awkward at first, but he's since learned to be both clean and deadly; the most powerful among the Takaki clan. He's a workaholic who doesn't know any better then to carry out his ninja career, so he never thought about rebelling and trying to start his own life. He was eventually assigned to instruct
Misami Kiyoko, his cousin, in the art of the ninja, although he isn't very good at it. He still tries in order to make his family proud.
