~{Personality & Appearance}~
Naoki is a cheerful fellow, always having a smile upon his face and although he can sometimes be simple minded, he is very skilled in learning new arts. Because of Naoki's odd metabolism, he constantly needs to eat and can often be found asking total strangers for food. He loves telling stories but will often require some form of food gift to do so.
Dressed in simple attire, Naoki can often be seen wearing three quarter length shorts and matching sleeveless hooded top, both brown in colour and holding the dragon symbol of his first Sensei. Other than his attire, Naoki usual wears bandage ropes around his hands, wrists and forearm, this being for protection when using his claws.
~{Powers/Strengths}~
Super-metabolism:
The ability to consume large quantities of food and burn the energy gained therein. Typically a required secondary power with most other powers as they tend to use great amounts of energy especially psychokinetics, speedsters and such. Many supers eat extremely high calories super foods because of this. Others just seem to eat constantly. Because of this, Naoki also has Metabolic Resistance the innate resistance to Drugs, Toxins, Disease, and other harmful factors that are ingested or introduced to his body. These include vampirism and lycanthropy.
Kinetic Blast:
The ability to project force through air (or water or whatever) usually feels like a punch or like flying shards of glass. Also the ability to draw things towards you and cling to them. Essentially the same as repulsion focusers.
Increase or decrease kinetic energy. The intensity allows him to change the direction of any moving object or he can 'push' a target with power rank strength. He can also control a targets telekinesis or kinetic bolts power with a correctly timed and powered 'push'.
Kinetic Battery:
Also called Kinetic absorption, is the ability to absorb the kinetic energy out of any impact; this can be used to slow down opponents, or absorb kinetic energy and slow down a fall that would otherwise kill you. One with this power could even lessen the blow of any object hurled at him and withstand the force of any blow, as it would provide no force after the kinetic energy has been taken from it. Sometimes that absorbed energy can even be sent back at the foe (called Kinetic Backlash) or converted into strength or sustenance (called Kinetic Conversion). This ability is almost always accompanied by Superhuman Endurance.
Using this power gives Naoki strength which he can increase by absorbing kinetic energy and use it to enhance his physical strength to an unmeasured limit. However, he cannot store the energy he absorbs for very long; as a rule he must physically expend the energy within 90 seconds to prevent it from permanently distorting his body.
Lightning Rune:
~{This was a gift from his original sensei and as such, Naoki is still learning to use it. Because of this fact, he is only able to break the first gate}~
A single, black rune, adorning his right shoulder blade in tattoo fashion. This is the symbol that represents his bond to Lightening, not the element itself, but it's essence. If the element was an entity, this rune would denote it's true name, and bestow it's user with all the prowess of the element, only if the user can bear the burden of invoking the entity, the essence and consciousness of Lightening, into their being. However, he is human, and to channel fully such a furious force of nature at once would undoubtedly destroy. There are, thus, three barriers, each physical, mental and spiritual in nature, he is to overcome to gain the highest possible cohesion with the elemental entity.
Gate of Awakening: The first barrier. Broken by the sheer willpower of it's user. The Elemental Rune assumes a luminous, blue glow, as this entity is invoked at the weakest possible level. This is in no way localized, each cell in his body becomes a direct, continous conduit to Lightening itself, doused fully in the electrical energy. Simply put, his embodiment becomes a host to the element, at the lowest level. This surge of energy courses his nervous system, increasing both the energy and strength of electrical impulses within his nervous system, not only increasing his reaction time, (so he can actually observe with ease objects moving at up to the speed of sound) but making him resistant to neural inhibitors. This means most, if not all, attempts to paralyze him, or jeopardize his central nervous system will fail. Naturally, the abundant electrical energy within his muscles, and body as a whole, augments his speed to that a third of the speed of sound, granting him a measure of increased strength too. Each of his strikes are imbued with the power of lightening, capable of surging the power of a lightening bolt ( 300, 000volts) with each strike.
This awakened state allows him to generate and manipulate those quantities of electrical energy, using them as he sees fit, even directing them in bolts even. This state may be held indefinately. Note, too, that this increased energy of his nervous system gives him control of it, so he is able to subdue pain to the point of not feeling it at all. Obviously, lightening may be conducted through metallic objects, some liquids too. To be struck with this quantities will at the very least stun the foe's central nervous system, immobilizing them for a few seconds, and at the most actually inflicting mortal wounds and death.
Beserker's Gate: Shattering this gate, by will power as well, doubles the power output of the Lightening Entity, effective doubling ALL the increased stats that come with shattering the Gate of Awakening. His body thus appears to have the runes spread, covering the entire right side of his body in the glowing, blue, runic symbols. His form is doused in numerous, blue streaks of electrical discharge (Lightening moves at the speed of light), extending to his enviroment six feet from his form in all directions. To be within this range is to suffer the full effect, equivalent to a direct hit by 600, 000volts. This is fatal. There is a new effect, though, the sheer amounts of discharge, within this region of him ionize the air within said region (without compromising his ability to breathe and respire) giving it a flickering, translucent appearance. This highly charged, more or less plasma diminishes energies introduced into it by 80 percent.
This state can only be held for six turns, before the Beserker's Gate reseals.
Ascension Gate: Not only does it triple all the stats that come with releasing Gate of Awakening, but the ion field literally, fully, 100 percent subdues all energies introduced into the now doubled ion field radius. This state, held for 3 turns.
The release of the Ascension Gate has a new ability though.. Electro-conversion. This is in itself a counter to blunt force strikes, not with those of edged weapons. It depends entirely on position of the strike, and timing. Should he see a blow coming, he can, at only the instant of contact of his enemy's attack, absorb convert the force and momentum of the strike, and convert it, in that instant, to pure electrical energy within his body. The amount of energy converted depends on how forceful the opponent's blow is. However, this gives the opponent less than a second to break physical contact with him, lest the enemy be electrocuted by the electrical energy within the user. This feat depends on timing and should that be inaccurate, the ability fails. It can only be used six times a fight. By this state, the user's body is completely covered in glowing runic symbols.
~{Weapons}~
The Lion's Claws
Claw Length- 5"
Claw Width- 2"
Claw Depth- 4/16th of an inch
Cutting Edge- Sharpened to the width of a hair
Metal Type- Adamant/Titanium Alloy
Each claw is razor sharp, sharp enough to cut through any lesser metal with the greatest of ease. Please note that the length of each claw is measured from where it starts, that being the knuckle of the hand.
Each claw is coated with an odd non-lethal toxin which can cause an extreme burning sensation at the point of entry into the body.
~{History}~
Naoki was born into poverty, both his mother and father were servants for one of the rich families in the town but when Naoki was about 4 year old, the town was attacked and his mother and father were killed, after their deaths Naoki was left to fend for himself and spend about 5 years living on the street, learning how to steal so that he could survive. It want long before the young boy was an expert at pick pocketing as well as house break-ins. By the time Naoki was 10 years old he was already well on his way to becoming the town’s worst young criminal but he attempted to pick pocket the wrong person. The person in question was an old man, in his late 50s but he caught Naoki as he tried to take the coin pouch from his belt, knowing that he had been caught, the young boy struggled free and made a run for it but unfortunately he was unable to get away, for you see the old man that was chasing him was a master at Parkour, the physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. Skills such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, rolling and swinging are employed.
Naoki was running for about 10 minutes, trying to escape the old man that was chasing him, every time the young boy turned round to see if the old man was there, he would see him jumping over something, something that took Naoki a lot of energy to vault. By the time he was caught, Naoki could hardly breathe, he had been running as fast as he could to escape as he thought he would either be but in jail, and/or given a beating. The old man was amused at the time it had took him to catch the boy, normally it only took a few moments, but the boy was street smart, he knew his way around the town and that was what made it difficult for the old man to catch him. After a few minutes and once the two had finally caught their breath, the old man asked Naoki what he thought he was doing and why he felt the need to steal, so the young boy told the old man his story.
Naoki and the old man made their way round the streets, talking to each other, the old man had introduced himself as Marook and was a master at Parkour as well as sword fighting. Marook gave Naoki a choice, it was either be sent to jail for stealing or leave that life and begin training with Marook, it didn’t take long for Naoki to decide, jail was not a place for kids and the young boy didn’t wish to spend what was left of his childhood locked up. Marook and Naoki left the town and headed to a small village about 20 miles to the south, the village looked like just any normal village but it had a large 12’ tall wall all the way around it, it was more like a boarding school than a village. Years passed quickly for Naoki, not only did he learn Parkour and sword fighting, but Marook insisted that all students learn to read and write as well, he always said it was better to educate the mind than the body, and educating both makes one a powerful creation.
It was now the day of Naoki’s 21st birthday, and as a gift to him, Marook commissioned the making of a special weapon, a set of claws. The weapon was perfect for the young man, and suited his fighting style as well as gifting him a small runic tattoo which was placed upon his right shoulder. After he was gifted with the weapon, Marook took Naoki to the side to speak with him, as they spoke, the old man told Naoki that it was time for him to leave, he had been taught all that there was to teach and he was the best that the school had ever seen. Naoki took the news of this well, considering that the school had been his home, but it was now time to go out in the world and begin his own quest, a quest that would take him many places and show him many things.
