Appearance

Burly, brawny, and rugged, Natsuo presents himself as a brawler whenever he can. He has spiky, messy brown hair with a high fade, long but tightly-cropped and meticulously-shaped sideburns, and a tight, narrow 'soul patch'-like beard. Natsuo has a warm, full-body tan, with extensive and well-trained muscles from his dense arms to his tightly-packed midsection, plus athletic, tightly-muscled legs and a square posture. He tends to wear overly casual, well-worn clothes or loose, comfortable "athleisure wear," though his favorite outfits are simple vests and pants. He frequently wears pads on his knees and elbows, as well as gloves for riding and fighting.

Personality

Energetic, excitable, personable, friendly, short-tempered.

Background

Natsuo's parents were both street fighters at their rival schools and after many years of competing against and with each other in various tournaments, they hooked up and eventually made it official. Natsuo was raised a fighter on both sides of his family, with his mother's quiet but intense strength and spiritual presence and his father's flashy, showy style and flair. While they both pushed him to do well enough in school to get a "real job" one day, he gravitated toward the same street brawls and tournaments and fight clubs that his parents had taken part in.

What set Natsuo apart was his preference for showmanship online; he likes to film videos and rather than spending his days as a simple fighter, he wants to become an action movie star. He's spent the past couple years trying to build up a following online with marginal success -- including getting the attention of a PARADIGM recruiter.

He was just embarking on the training and finishing the process of joining up when the organization sustained a devastating attack.

Special Abilities

Bajiquan - Hakkyokuken in Japanese, a Chinese martial art style identifiable by its trademark elbow attacks, palm rushes and shoulder smashes.

  • Heaven's Barrage - A launching backflip followed by a barrage of midair kicks and a punch that knocks the opponent to the ground.
  • Energy Focus Cluster - Unleashes a large sphere-ended ray of destructive chi energy from his hands.

Dirty Fighting - Natsuo isn't above using the environment or underhanded tactics in an all-out brawl.

Knife Fighting - While not his preference, is well-versed in fighting with throwing knives and larger blades.

• Grand Backstab - Throws numerous knives at once toward opponents, controlling and powering them up with Burning Vigor, allowing him to move them remotely with a thought and explode in spiritual energy.
• Bloodbath - Dashes forward and executes quick knife throws and ends with a knockdown kick, all powered with Burning Vigor.

Powers & Merits

Burning Vigor - Natsuo has the ability to manifest his chi/spiritual energy as violet-tinted flames and skull-shapes. He can channel it to power up his fighting style. This can manifest in a myriad of different ways, whether on his body or in projectiles. This requires intense concentration and for his adrenaline to be up, so it is not necessarily an "at will" ability, but one born out of intense drive and typically combat. The energy doesn't actually burn (unless it's directed to), so it doesn't destroy his clothes or the environment or even seem hot to the touch.

• Concentration (1): You are very good at focusing, and suffer no penalty for distractions, stress or having to repeat yourself often.
• Gall (2): You got moxy, kid. You get a +1 bonus to any Social roll requiring backbone.
• Crack Driver (1): You get a +2 Bonus to Driving rolls.

Unique Items

Items Of Note

Motorcycle and related gear, all themed in black, white, and purple/violet skulls.

Weaknesses & Flaws

• Overconfident (1): You think you can do everything even though you probably can't, and you try to prove your belief as often as possible.
• Curiosity (2): Your incredible curiosity often overrides your common sense. Resisting temptation requires a successful Wits roll, difficulty depending on the situation.
• Driving Goal (3) (Stardom): You have some goal which is at the basis of all your motivations, though it is of such depth or impossibility, it could probably never be achieved. Your obsession with your vision can temporarily be soothed by a proper situation (Mission, Combat, etc) or a roll (Diff 8).
