Oh okay :c I had to check to see if I had enough for it xD

Upgrades people UPGRADES

@SporkoBug

I honestly never remember how much my character has for money and people. I need to start keeping up on that myself.

@Estylwen I don't know if I need to ask to be able to do these things; but can I upgrade Hamlet a stage?

@SporkoBug

Absolutely not allowed. Why would you think that is okay? *casually glancing to make sure I added my upgrade to my next post*

Good thing that I didn't go forth with my plan to invade Newpoint.

As much fun as I'd have with Khor being genuinely insane, I'd prefer to ride the line of teetering on the edge, at the very least it'll make the descent into hell more interesting if it happens (or redemption toward stability, I don't think that's likely for them though, at least while they stay in Nocturnia).

@flux

I don't think any character can get more sane in Nocturnia. haha! It's all down hill from there baby.

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@The Savant Honest, I wasnt thinking it. ^^; Kaiyo means 'forgiveness' which ties into how he uses his gyft. I thought it was poetic.....

@Estylwen

I loved the character. I was just messing around. 😂 Being a menace. That's all.

Kaiyo Mayazaki

Kaiyo Mayazaki

28 | He/him | The Reverser/Mafia

Description: Kaiyo comes from minority of Japanese folk within the walls of Nocturnia. He was born albino, which is already a rare expression of genes. But on top of this, he was born with a weak heart.

His gyft manifested when his family got caught in the crossfire of a gang war. Vincent witnessed the first instance of his gyft being used - reversing the bullet wounds in his mother's body. Kaiyo had a nervous fit after, coughing up blood afterward and passing out.

When he awoke, he was in a sterile room in the Arakasa Tower, his body stabilized with a diluted form of Nyla. It was then Vincent offered Kaiyo a job, which he took gratefully, owning the man his life.

Gyft: Reversing Aura

By exerting his aura, which is about ten feet around him, he is able to reverse time on a specific point, person, or object. He typically does this by holding his hand out to a specific object. Then, that object glows orange as it visibly reverses back in time. He is able to reverse anything, like returning the bites of an apple to make it whole again, or reversing the body so it no longer has mortal wounds. The reversal takes as long as a few minutes, typically.

This only thing Kaiyo is unable to reverse is death.

There is another drawback to this gyft. The more Kaiyo uses his gyft, the more quickly his organs age. He was already born with a weak heart, so he has resigned himself to a short life in service to Vincent. Vincent, on the other hand, has endeavoured to give him the best treatments and therapies to slow down this process.

@Estylwen

He's cool but... Kaiyo is very close to another name that I might remember 👀 wannabe.

Bro is hunting for some noc noc chow.

@LanaStorm

He'd be promoted to manager of the noc noc meat processing plant for sure.

I really wanted to make this work, but it'd only make sense if Khor was absolutely and irredeemably batshit insane.

That being said deleted scene lets go~:

Taking home a stray... wait that's not a dog

Khor, A chainsaw(good growly boy)

---

Some... godforsaken place

Khor held the chainsaw one last time. It was a noble machine, perfect in every way. A loyal companion that promised to aid any issue, anytime, provided it was handled with a little creativity. Ripping the cord, it purred as the motor fired reliably, happy to serve its owner in whatever was asked of it. Khor tore their eyes away from the marvellous machine. Flicking the kill switch it grumbled, pistons halting in dismay. They couldn’t walk the streets with such a creature. Others just wouldn’t understand.

Khor put the chainsaw down on a crate and began to move away. “You’ve been good to me, but you belong out here buddy.” They stopped as they heard a metallic tap on the ground. The chain blade tip balancing on the concrete, holding the machine as if it was begging. Khor waved their hand at it. “No, I said you can’t come. Go on now, get!” The chainsaw disagreed, tipping off the crate to clatter onto the ground, a sad glugging as the fuel flowed back and forth within its petrol tank.

Khor brought their hand up, thumb and finger wrapping where their temples would be under their helmet. They walked back over and placed the chainsaw back on the crate. “I told you now I don’t want ’cha, don’t love you no more! Now GET!” The chainsaw fell onto its tip again much as before, Khor dropped their head, eyes teary. “Come on don’t make this harder than it is. I don’t like this as much as you do!” The chainsaw tipped, the same glugging as before.

Khor threw their head back while closing their eyes. Head falling to look at the chainsaw again they slowly approached it. Picking it up they took a moment just to hold it, to feel the weight, the balance. Cradling it in one arm they used their free hand to pull the chain back to which the machine happily clicked in response. With two hands clasping the motor Khor held it outstretched, blade turned directly up at the ceiling.

Determination filled Khor’s eyes. “You know what, fuck society. You’ve been good, really good to me. You don’t deserve to be left in the cold dark because your scary, your just misunderstood.” Khor tucked the chainsaw under their arm while throwing their free fist into the air. “Fuck society! I’m gonna show you the world little buddy! Or, at least what little world is within the wall. Eh whatever it’ll still blow your goddamn mind. Just wait until you try your first Noc Noc burger. Then later we’ll find some bad hombres to turn into tacos. Oh, the fun we could have~.”

Khor almost skipped along with renewed purpose. “How’s that sound little buddy?” The fuel in the chainsaw happily sloshed about with every step promising the exciting new life it was being adopted into.

Who said Nocturnia couldn’t be wholesome?

@flux

Just have khor be like asterion. Completely in denial while be absolutely out of his mind and then it would work!

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

@The Savant Mhm, mhm, of course she would be, she saw Asterion as a good person. So it'll be really tough, when the inevitable clash comes. 🥺

@Estylwen

Who knows? Maybe Ayla will be this man's downfall :P

Nocturnal Memoirs: An Urban-Fantasy Mafia Epic

Also, I love how Ayla is having doubtful/regretful thoughts. She torn.
