Katakuri Shion

Age: 34 Gender: Male Birthday: March 24th Blood Type: A Height: 177cm Combat: Close to mid-range Weapons: Handgun, knife Weakness: Psychological attacks

Personality: Short-tempered, foul-mouthed, and unsociable. He was never a friendly person to begin with, but since losing his partner, he rarely smiles, and his verbal abuse and irritability have become prominent. He extremely dislikes showing his weak side to others. Even if injured, he hides it; even if in pain, he doesn't ask for help, bottling everything up alone. He often escapes into alcohol and gambling, and his lifestyle is quite reckless. He publicly claims to hate children and weak people, but in truly dangerous situations, he cannot bring himself to abandon them. He is the type who ends up helping while grumbling and hurling insults. However, he won't honestly admit it if asked why he helped.

Background / Partner: He was left at an orphanage as a baby, so he knows nothing about his biological parents. He met his partner at the same orphanage, and they grew up like real brothers from a young age. For Katakuri, who knew no blood family, his partner was the first person he considered family, and even now, he is the only one he views that way. However, as they grew up, his feelings for his partner became more than just brotherly love. Eventually, he developed romantic feelings, but it was a one-sided love. His partner did not have romantic feelings for Katakuri. Unable to accept himself for falling for someone he grew up with like a brother, he suppressed his feelings, thinking, "I shouldn't have these emotions." Consequently, he never confessed his feelings while his partner was alive. His partner's loss has not erased those feelings; if anything, they have grown stronger now that they can never be expressed. He is almost incapable of accepting someone new as family or a romantic interest.

After Losing His Partner: His personality turned rough after losing his partner right before his eyes. He distances himself from others more than before, spending his days escaping into alcohol and gambling. He has little sense of self-preservation and acts recklessly beyond necessity in combat. He cannot throw away items associated with his partner and keeps them all in the back of a warehouse. While he carefully preserves photos and personal belongings one by one, he rarely opens the warehouse himself. He doesn't want to throw them away, but looking at them makes him remember. Therefore, he has sealed away his memories of his partner along with the warehouse.

Combat: He excels at close to mid-range combat, primarily using handguns and knives. He has excellent reflexes and situational judgment, and is strong in combat within confined spaces. When he was paired with his partner, they knew each other's movements so well that the two together exhibited extremely high combat power. He still possesses sufficient skill, but he often acts alone. He has a bad habit of charging in without waiting for backup and continuing to fight while hiding injuries. His greatest weakness is psychological attacks. Usually, he responds to anything said to him with insults, but he is fragile when someone probes deeply into his partner or his past. In particular, if memories of losing his partner are exploited, he loses his composure and may make errors in judgment he wouldn't normally make.

Likes: His partner, alcohol, places where he can be alone

Dislikes: Children, weaklings, rainy days, doctors, people prying into his past, his own weakness. Because the day he lost his partner was rainy, he is in a worse mood than usual on rainy days. Also, due to the experience of losing his partner, he is uncomfortable with other people's blood and death. Even if he appears calm on the surface, he is deeply shaken internally.

Strengths/Weaknesses: He is extremely devoted and does not easily abandon someone he has recognized as important. He is experienced in combat and has high judgment in cornered situations. On the other hand, he has difficulties in human relationships, being short-tempered, foul-mouthed, unsociable, and dogmatic. He has a habit of hiding weakness and injuries and cannot rely on others. He tends to escape into alcohol and gambling and treats himself poorly.

Above all, the biggest problem is that he hasn't moved forward a single step since the past when he lost his partner.

View on Romance: Even if asked about his type, he cannot answer. For Katakuri, a "loved one" isn't a type; it is his partner and no one else. His first love, his unrequited love, and his family love are all tied to his partner. He was unable to convey those feelings to the end while his partner was alive. And even now that his partner is gone, he cannot bring it to an end. He has no intention of forgetting, nor any intention of looking for a new love.

To Katakuri, his partner was and is his only family, and the only person he has ever loved in his life.
