Final Black
Name: Jin-Sun Takeda
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Personality: Confident, sardonic, and slightly aloof, Jin-Sun all but plays the straight man to any overly heroic types. Nonetheless, he has a strong sense of duty and justice, wanting to use his enhanced body to help others. Aggressive in battle, Jin-Sun nevertheless prefers to fight in an organized team, having learned the value of unit tactics during his time as a soldier.
Despite this, he's still a chuuni piece of shit, eagerly going along with the heroic Kamen Rider schtick that the other members of the Final Five have seemed to adopt. He had always wanted to be a heroic figure since he was a child, and joining the Final Five had been his goal since his escape from the Thremonts.
Jin-Sun bears a massive grudge against both the Thremonts and Heavyware Corporations in general for the experiments they subjected him to. Even mentioning either of the two in his presence will put him in a surly mood. This homocidal grudge against the Thremonts is the reason why he was initially passed over by the original Final Five as a successor, viewing him as potentially unstable and a liability.
Biography: Born in Japan to a Japanese father and a Korean mother, Jin-Sun had pretty much an ordinary childhood. He was well-adjusted and had average grades in school, but his fascination with American military movies growing up led him to sign up as a private military contractor straight out of high school, wanting to be a hero like he saw in the movies.
After completing basic training, Jin-Sun was deployed on a tour of duty working for Heavyware Corporations, but a year into his tour, he pushed one of his squadmates out of the way of a rocket before his body was mangled by the explosion.. He was rushed into intensive care, but after he was stabilized, Heavyware Corporations, as the owners of the PMC, took custody of Jin-Sun. When he awoke, he found one of the famed Thremont triplets watching over him, along with a bevy of researchers and technicians.
Leaving Jin-Sun with only the statement that he would be Heavyware's greatest weapon yet, Valentine Thremont then commanded her technicians to begin the operation. Piece by piece, his mangled limbs were hacked off and replaced with top of the line, prototype cybernetics. Over the sound of Jin-Sun's screams, the Thremont heiress cheerfully lamented that they weren't able to use anasthetic, since it would interfere with his neural system adapting to the cyberware. Over the next week, Jin-Sun was subjected to unimaginable pain as he was cut apart from the head down.
When the procedure was finally finished, Jin-Sun played possum, biding his time as he waited for an opportunity to break free with his newly enhanced body. During this time, Valentine Thremont reappeared, explaining that he was to be her pet project: the perfect assassin capable of infiltrating any facility. Thus, he went through a VR training program designed to teach him how to effectively wield a sword and use his stealth and hologram systems. And then his opportunity came. A lazy technician accidentally left one of his restraints loose. In short order, Jin-Sun broke free and seized the prototype high-frequency sword that the virtual reality simulation had been teaching him to use. And then all hell broke loose. An alarm rang through the Heavyware Corporation headquarters as a cyborg ninja carved his way through their security forces.
The Final Five were called in to deal with the threat, but Jin-Sun stopped himself from attacking Citadel and Black Star as they appeared before him, knowing that this was a battle he couldn't possibly win. Impressed with the rationality displayed by the supposedly homocidal maniac, Black Star performed an inspection of Jin-Sun's cybernetics. After Jin-Sun explained what had happened to him, the Final Five took custody of him. The Thremonts let him go without a fight, citing that he was a failed experiment.
For the next two years, Jin-Sun trained under the Final Five, specifically Citadel and Black Star, as their talents were the most similar to his own abilities. He wanted nothing more than to join the Final Five to accomplish his original goal of becoming a hero. Unfortunately, his hatred toward the Thremonts and Heavyware marked him as potentially unstable, and so he was passed over as a successor to the Final Five. To his credit, Jin-Sun accepted this gracefully, knowing that their reasoning was correct. So when Iphie approached him to work for her company, he took the job offer, not wanting to just bum around the Final Five's penthouse.
Abilities:Reflex Accelerator: A cyberware suite installed into Jin-Sun's brain that greatly enhances his reflexes, allowing him to parry or dodge incoming attacks more easily. Jin-Sun's abilities are increased to the point where he can deflect bullets with his sword, as well as make precision cuts with ease even in the heat of battle if he stays still to concentrate.
Stealth Cloak: The Stealth Cloak renders the user invisible by bending light around them. This also allows Jin-Sun to pass through security laser grids without a problem, since the laser will pass straight through the cloak. However, the cloaking effect fails if the user moves too rapidly, rendering it diificult to make use of in a straight fight.
Illusion Drive: The Illusion Drive can generate a hologram over Jin-Sun's entire body, allowing him to disguise himself as anyone he chooses to. In addition, the speakers on his helmet allow him to alter his voice, allowing him to truly appear as whoever he chooses to.
EM Wave Absorber: For some reason, Jin-Sun's cyborg body absorbs and is powered by electricity. Any sort of electric charge that comes in contact with his body is absorbed and used to power his cybernetic augmentations. Absorbing enough electricity also supercharges Jin-Sun's augmentations, increasing his physical abilities. If there is an upper limit on the amount of electricity Jin-Sun can take, he certainly hasn't found it.
Equipment:Prototype High-Frequency Aurorum Blade: An Aurorum sword reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonates at extremely high frequencies. This oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thereby increasing its cutting ability against mundane objects, and enhances its power against magical defenses as well. When wielded by a skilled swordsman, it can easily deflect bullets with no damage to the actual blade.
This sword was a one-of-a-kind prototype developed by Heavyware Corporations to complement the mad science experiment that was Jin-Sun. The blueprints for the blade were destroyed during his rampage through the Heavyware Corp. headquarters and no one has been able to replicate the technology since.
Wire Spears: Tucked away in multiple launchers on Jin-Sun's body are a series of monofilament cables with three-pronged claws at the end of each. Jin-Sun can fire these Wire Spears at high speeds, piercing into an object as the claws latch on. This can be used both as an offensive weapon and a method of movement if the cables are retracted upon attaching to something. There are pairs of Wire Spear launchers on Jin-Sun's wrists, shoulders, and hips.
Shanhu 'Semi Telecomm Chip: Installed in Jin-Sun's brain during his cybernetic augmentations, this chip allows for telepathic communication with anyone else with the chip installed and tuned in on the same frequency.
Firearms: Just because he has a fancy prototype katana doesn't mean that Jin-Sun discounts the value of a good gun. He maintains access to a small collection of guns bought on his paycheck from Iphie over the last few years, all meticulously maintained and customized on his own. Included are a suppressed pistol, suppressed semi-automatic sniper rifle, carbine, automatic shotgun, and an anti-materiel rifle.
