Character Information
Name: Yoite (Sora Kodou)
Canon series: Nabari no Ou
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Personality: Some of Yoite's personality characteristics include being determined, reserved and melancholy, as well as detached, unpredictable and anti-social. He keeps to himself, so he's usually quiet, unless someone is speaking to him. He can also be considered shrewd, judgmental, focused and distrusting towards others. He dislikes physical contact at all costs. He also doesn't like sympathetic or overly emotional people. He tends to keep to himself, disliking people's help and tends to brush people off often. (A few exceptions to the rule being Yukimi, Kazuho and Miharu.) He's a great listener, even if he doesn't give his opinion much, unless constantly pestered to or he feels it's important. With his senses failing him, he can't taste food, but he has a bottomless pit for a stomach and eats almost ten meals a day, if someone offers it to him. When Hattori gives Suiko-han a mission, he follows orders without complaints, right down to the very last detail. He's focused and goal oriented in the sense he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, no matter the consequences or obstacles in his way. He can be considered stubborn to some people, especially where Yukimi is involved. He likes his independence and his solitude. They get into a lot of arguments where his best "intentions" lie.
Character appearance: Yoite stands at five foot, nine inches tall. He roughly weighs about one hundred pounds. He has a slender face, with dark blue eyes and jet black hair. It's cropped really short in the back, like it was cut with a razor. He has longer bangs parted down the middle that frame his cheek bones. His limbs seem long in comparison to how thin his frame is, his abdomen naturally long, as well as his legs. He's usually clad in a tan colored turtleneck, that covers an old slash wound across his throat. He also wears a pair of form fitting black pants and black military type boots underneath. Over that, he wears a form fitting black trench coat. It has six buttons on the front of it. He usually is never seen without his tan colored newsboy cap on. He's shy about exposing himself to anyone, so he usually never takes off his tan colored leather gloves either.
In canon Raison D'etre: To make sure Miharu becomes the "King of Nabari".
Brief canon history: Yoite's apart of an elite ninja clan called the Kairoshuu, working directly in the sub-division of Suikō-han. Even though Yoite's only sixteen, he's one of the most powerful members because he possesses the ability to perform "Kira." The technique is considered forbidden because it chips away at the users life force. When Yoite was first brought into Kairoshu, his body was that of a child's. It was Hattori Tojuro that had saved him from an untimely death in the snow, found with a slash across his neck and left to bleed to death. Young Yoite led a small and miserable life, before being brought into the world of Nabari. His Mother died giving birth to him, so his Father and step-children loathed Yoite's existence. One night, they took a knife and sliced him across the neck, right in front of his step brother Tsukasa's eyes. Yoite ran out of the house and collapsed near the street, where Hattori found him.
He was taken to a private hospital where he met Kazuho Amatatsu and she fixed up his wound. When he was feeling better, Hattori gave him the option to live with him, in the world of Nabari, where he would be trained as a ninja. He studied the forbidden Kira kijitsu and moved into Kazuho Yukimi's apartment. He was to become apart of Yukimi's team, known as Suiko-han.
Over the course of three days and now in Hattori's protective care, Yoite's bones reconstructed and grew to the size of a teenager. Now standing at 5'9" and about 100 pounds, clad in a black trench coat, they were given a mission. Their objective was to gather five well-hidden ninja scrolls, gain possession of the Shinrabansho and use it to reconstruct civilization - both the "front world" (the real world) and the world of Nabari (the ninja world.)
In canon, one of Suiko-han's main targets becomes Miharu Rokujo, a fourteen year old boy who happened to be the human reincarnation of the Shinrabansho located inside of him. Yoite was instructed to capture him alive and bring him back to Hattori, but the Banten ninjas intervened. Of his own accord, Yoite kidnapped Miharu and took him captive to an abandoned train car in the middle of a bamboo forest. It was there Yoite proposed a proposition - once Miharu gathered all of the scrolls, Miharu was ordered to report back to Yoite and use the Shinrabansho to grant his wish of non-existence. Yoite didn't want to die, but rather wanted to have his existence completely erased, so no one would remember him ever being born. If Miharu refused, he'd kill his friends and his family to better influence Miharu's decision making.
Since Miharu shows an indifferent face to the world, he agreed to Yoite's proposition and throughout the series, spends time searching for and gathering various kinjitsu scrolls with various run-ins when Banten and Fuma ninjas also looking for the scrolls. Towards the end of the series, Miharu becomes friends with Yoite and also becomes one of his greatest emotional support systems. Yoite starts having his personality develop, as he learns to trust and confine in Miharu. They betray Kairoshuu, steal what scrolls they have and try to outrun the Kasa ninjas ordered to exterminate Yoite and retrieve the scrolls and Miharu, so that Hattori can use them to reawaken the Shinrabansho and change the world.
Romdeau History
Occupation: Disposal Unit in the Autorave Control Department.
Social Class: Middle Class
Brief AU history: "Born" into Romdeau, his earliest memories of were a broken household somewhere in the middle class district. He was told his Mother had died during child birth, giving birth to him and he was reprimanded and even neglected for being a "murderer", even if it was completely out of his control. He had several older siblings of which seemed a blur now. One particular face that stood out to him was that of his older brother, Tsukasa Kodou. The boy wasn't much taller than him in appearance, with the same black hair and shining eyes from a youthful face. He remembered they did things together like most siblings did, almost with a over-protective streak that became stunted due to an incident that happened one winter (not that seasons are predicted inside the dome). In a rage, his older siblings passed a kitchen knife around, each wanting to take a turn at trying to hurt and kill him. Once the knife reached Tsukasa's hands, they stared at each other for some moments before Tsukasa dropped the knife and urged him to run for his life. He did just that, escaping out of their home into the darkened city. Already bleeding from the jugular and about to die, he fell to his knees and passed out from blood loss.
When he awoke, he remembered seeing white walls and a nurse with blonde hair and a kind face staring down at him. He learned her name was Kazuho Amatatsu and she was a nurse inside the Bureau, working directly for the Health and Welfare department. She tried to ask him questions regarding the traumatic events that had occurred to him, but his memories seemed blocked. Diagnosising him with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and a slight case of amnesia, he remained in the hospital for three weeks. His name, his family's whereabouts and their faces had all been suppressed except for one memory - a gleaming knife in the darkness coming at his throat and Tsukasa screaming in the background.
Kazuho explained to him a man named Toujiro Hattori was his rescuer and it was because of Mr. Hattori's power within the Bureau that he was allowed to stay in such a prestigious hospital. Mr. Hattori didn't ask for gratitude or money, but instead wanted something else for his efforts - a contract of sorts. If he agreed to work under Hattori's care, he would be released and given a job within the Bureau himself. He would have to work his way through the ranks like the others, and pass each task required of him. Agreeing, Kazuho remained his personal physician until he was allowed to leave the hospital building. Some time passed, where he had to find temporary lodging until he passed his tests to enter the Bureau. He was only sixteen years old and normal teenagers his age were enrolled in school. Thanks to Hattori understanding his special circumstances, he was allowed one change to make it in. Two weeks later, he was enrolled into the Autorave Control Department, effectively the youngest member in the Bureau to date. Once he began his training, he was allowed to lodge inside the middle class district, where his job helped with paying his living expenses.
He didn't really mind the new direction his life was heading in. As his PTSD faded, bits and pieces of his memories were starting to come back. He leaned his name had once been "Sora Kodou", at least that's what his Mother would have named him if she had survived. He learned that his Father had remarried, so he had more step-siblings than what he originally believed. Such an incident had dramatically changed his personality traits though. He had once been a humble, smiling child eager to learn and explore the world. He had always been polite, never an ill word about anyone.
As time passed since the incident, he had become more reclusive, socially awkward and anti-social. He didn't trust strangers, or anyone for that matter. He also despised human physical affection and would shy away from it bluntly. He no longer had a reason be befriend people and instead, through himself head long into his work as a Disposal Unit officer. He was quick and efficient with every mission he'd been given, even if sometimes his thoughts drifted to the past or the more recent pains in his chest.
What their current Raison D'etre is: To be a useful weapon.
1st person sample post: ...I was sent a request to visit the Health & Welfare department again this evening. Apparently they think it's important I be looked over again. There is nothing wrong with my mental or physical abilities. I wasn't placed inside of the Disposal Unit if I wasn't a capable member, who earned his way into the position like the others. Despite my protests, Mrs. Amatatsu refuses to listen to reason. Does she think I'm suddenly unfit for this line of work? I don't have a choice in the matter. It was this future... or none at all.
3rd person sample post: Sitting on a stool inside of the Health & Welfare Department, he waited for his appointed physician to arrive. The walls were white, the tiles glistening and Autoraves were busy bustling about the hallways, busy as ever. He couldn't help but keep his eyes trained on the ground, between where his boots lay firmly on the ground. He hated feeling so publicly displayed like this. He'd rather sit in a corner of a small room, lights dimly light. Everything was so open spaced.... He nearly jumped when an Entourage called his name. Getting to his feet, he followed the Autorave into a smaller room, where a lady with blonde hair smiled at him. Kazuho Amatatsu was there, dressed in her usual attire, gloves on and pen raised as she began reviewing his vitals. "All right Yoite, please take a seat over here. I'm going to need to run some tests on you today."
He tried to suppress the urge to roll his eyes, as she began running through important stats and asking him questions about his recent encounters in the slums. "You should really be careful down there. There's been rumor of more Cogito virus out breaks in the lower parts of the city. The living conditions down there could lead to any numerable amount of injuries or worse." He nodded, listening to her, even if he didn't understand her concern. He had never really understood human emotions too much. He watched her silently, as she flipped a page of her report before catching his eye once more.
"I know you don't want to, but could you please remove your jacket?" Begrudgingly, he did as he was asked, sliding out of the material and folding it neatly in his lap. Gloved hands started to push back the long sleeved shirt hiding his skinny arms, swabbing a spot before flicking the end of the needle. He adverted his dark blue orbs to focus on the pearly ground once more, trying to ignore the feeling of metal being injured into soft skin.
