Name
Kashiyama Yuuto
Gender
Male
Personality
On the surface, Yuuto is as straight-laced, by-the-book, and diligent as one would expect an Honors student attending college purely on the merit of their many scholarships to be. He doesn't like making trouble, doesn't attend wild parties, and often barely has time in his day to hang out with the few friends he has, though he always tries to make time so as no to go insane from the constant stress.
Along with his diligence to studying, Yuuto is a staunch pacifist in all most every circumstance. He believes that violence is never a good way to solve one's problems, and while he's not one to preach at others about his belief, he will always let them know it in no uncertain terms if the subject is ever raised. If he can't find a way to end a conflict diplomatically, he finds little harm in running from it, as he often finds the potential for ridicule is a much better alternative than the violence itself. That being said, it would be wrong to think him weak or cowardly, and even he knows that sometimes, you can't just run away from conflict. Especially as a ghoul.

Background
Yuuto's history isn't much to tell. He grew up about as normally as any ghoul could, with the only oddities being that his mother seemed to disappear often, his father always looked worried or panicked when watching the news, and his family was constantly moving between wards for much of his early years. It wasn't until he was around 10 that he figured out why.
His mother had been an infamous ghoul, widely regarded as a threat due to her gluttonous feeding habits and tendency to prey on investigators more so than most ghouls. Known as "Seiun Usagi", she was a pretty big target for the CCG for quite some time. And eventually, they got her. In the final moments before her death, she used her Kagune to mangle her own facial features, her final way of protecting her family from the CCG. It was a sad day in the Kashiyama household, and a traumatizing moment for Yuuto that shaped his entire view of life from then on.
Learning about his mother's deeds filled him with a silent scorn and self-hatred for his existence as a ghoul and ghoul society as a whole, a society that he was heavily wrapped up in due to his father being a Mask designer, a craft that Yuuto has a natural gift for and struggles to separate himself from it. Even now, he'll create masks for himself as a way to express his emotions, before letting his self-disgust and anger take hold of him and destroying the works with knives and flames.
Ever since the day where his mother's death was reported on the news, Yuuto has sworn to himself to not only find a way to get out of this hellish cycle that is ghoul society unscathed, but to also try his best to break down this society, to make it something better. That way, no more kids will have to go through what he went through.

Kagune
A rare chimera ghoul, Yuuto carries both his mother's Ukkaku Kagune and his father's bikaku kagune. For his ukkaku, it often takes the form of a nebulous gas-like substance that spreads out behind him like a pair of wings, the whole of it dotted with a number of bright, star-like objects that helped to give his mother her name. Another aspect of these Kagune is that they can super-heat the RC cells created, allowing them to fire crystallized RC shards at extremely high temperatures, adding an extra layer of danger to his attacks, as well as effectively hampering the regenerative process of other ghouls due to the cauterization of the wounds.
As for his Bikaku, it's a more simplistic kagune, composed of two gleaming red tails, with the end of them carving into some rather cruel looking hooks. It bears an appearance similar to that of a scorpion tail, but neither he nor his father have proven capable of making any form of poison or venom from their Kagune. They, like all Bikaku, are relatively durable when compared to their counter-parts, and capable of doing some damage, but it's clear that if he were more of a fighter, his Ukkaku would be the more offensive tool in his arsenal, while his Bikaku would be used to defend against and deflect incoming attacks.

Notable Characteristics
Yuuto has trained his control over his kagune to be very precise, enabling him to unleash one set of kagune independently of the other easily. A needed skill in order to avoid drawing attention, as his mother's kagune is extremely recognizable and any connection to Seiun would have the CCG on him like a hawk. That being said, this does not make him a capable fighter in the least, as he has taken a stance against learning anything besides some basic self-defense techniques in regard to combat prowess. When it comes to fights, he always views active retaliation as a last resort, much preferring simply talking the situation down or getting the heck outta dodge when he can.
Yuuto has been able to stay off CCG radar due to him never going out to hunt for his food, instead eating only when he has to at specific places that cater to less predatory ghouls.
