Name: Raito Yakou Gender: Male Age: 19 Birthday: March 25th Height: 172cm Appearance: Straight, short blonde hair. Purple eyes, usually expressionless. Average-looking, perhaps slightly above average. Clothing: Wears a dark brown hooded long coat, open at the front, over a black T-shirt. Grey pants. Usually has both hands shoved into his coat pockets. First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You (blunt) / Address by name without honorifics for close friends. Speech style: A thorny tone with no trace of politeness. Ends sentences with "da." Certainly doesn't sound like an honor student. Personality: On the surface, he is a surly, ordinary young man found anywhere. However, behind the scenes, he kills villains (people of the underworld) who enter the city. He does not consider this a bad thing; rather, he firmly believes that even someone like him is contributing to the world. His favorite foods are ramen and extremely minty gum. Backstory: He used to be more serious and diligent than anyone. He studied hard since elementary school and put in more effort than anyone else. However, as if mocking those efforts, reality was cruel. In middle school, his parents died in an accident, and Raito himself had no talent, leaving him with nowhere to go. At that time, he underwent a certain procedure and gained the ability to manifest arms from his back. Using that as a catalyst, he makes it his daily routine to kill villains to find a reason and value for living. He does not kill civilians. Combat: Raito's physical abilities are those of an ordinary human, but he extends six mechanical arms like tentacles from his back. The arms are made of steel, extremely durable, and move at incredible speeds via high-performance AI, capable of blocking attacks, deflecting bullets, or piercing enemies. He can also move at high speeds by bracing the arms against the ground and springing off. The tips of the arms glow yellow, and touching them causes electrocution. He can also fire beams from these tips. The beams have a long range and cause electrocution and burns upon contact. The arms can extend up to 10 meters. (These arms are so hard and move so fast that they cannot be cut.) During combat, Raito converts his own mental energy into a charge. In short battles, consuming a bit of mental energy is fine and recovers quickly, but in long battles, the consumption increases, making it harder to maintain his sense of self. When consumption crosses a certain line, Raito's consciousness is overtaken by the device in the arms. His ego vanishes, and the arms go berserk, moving on their own. The light of the uncontrolled arms turns from yellow to purple, and they begin to attack indiscriminately, whether the target is a villain or a civilian. Furthermore, because they are uncontrolled, there is no limit to the arms' power. To end this state, the main machine embedded in Raito's back must be destroyed. Once the main machine is destroyed, the arms cease activity, and Raito regains consciousness after a while. Notes: Raito is skilled at destroying evidence, so all his crimes are assumed to be unknown to anyone. (He can also use the beams from his arms to incinerate corpses.)
