Roku Karasu (wip)

[Roku Karasu]

Basics

Name: Roku Karasu

Nicknames: n/a

Age:17

Birthday: 15 July

Grade: 11th

Power:
•Electrokinesis:
This is Roku's main ability, his body is similar to a generator in the fact that it constantly produces electricity or lightning within itself. This happens for as long as he is fully fed and hydrated. He is not only able to control external electricity
And lightning But he can also release and control the internal electricity his body constantly produces. He can use this ability to attack enemies in multiple creative ways that result in enemies being shocked, burnt or temporarily paralysed,he can use the lightning in muscles and nerves within himself in order to speed up his reaction time and reflexes, coat his limbs in electricity for when he uses close range attacks,his body can emit streams of electricity that protect him and cause slight burn marks or temporary paralysis to enemies and he can also coat blades in lightning, this allows blades to cut through harder substances like steal, iron and other types of metal more easily and he can also extend the length of the blade by 3 feet. The extension of the blade will be composed completely of electricty or lightning but will be shaped exactly like the blade. Since school doesn't allow blades Roku hardly ever uses this but he has practiced with butter knives and scissors.

The flaw to this ability is that sometimes his body produces far too much electricity or lightning, if he doesn't release it himself by fighting or training his body will begin to automatically release bursts of lightning from limbs randomly in order to get rid of the access energy. He cannot control his body when this happens and it usually leaves his body numb it also causes burn marks and temporary paralysis to the limbs that force out the energy. This literally happens at any time and his body does not give warning so he must regularly train and burn off some energy or his body will do it automatically, worst case scenario is that it might even happen while in the shower or in a pool, this will cause serious burn marks to Roku and literally knock him out for hours.


•Metal manipulation:
Roku's second ability is the ability to manipulate all types of metals and irons. This allows him to move and reshape objects with metal in them at will with his mind. He hasn't quite become a master at this yet since he discovered it far later than his electrokinesis He also never uses it infront of people so its more of a hidden ability sort of like his ace card against those that are ready to stop his electrokinesis. Sadly the bigger the matelic object he manipulates the more strain it puts on him. The biggest thing he can manipulate so far Is a truck. He can crush it(although not completely and it takes quite some time), reshape it or make it levitate and move anywhere at will. Anything bigger causes a serious strain on his body and might cause headaches, nausea ,bleeding from the eyes and it might cause him to collapse. He usually practices in secret by shaping random metalic objects into swords or small stars then reshaping them back to their normal form.

•Photographic memory:
Roku is able to perfectly remember any and everything he sees, this could be fighting styles,dances, notes, homework or anything else that he sees. When they are active his eyes turn crimson, this color indicates that they are capturing everything they see for perminent remembrance. Sadly Roku cannot control this at all, his eyes will randomly activate or deactivate this ability. He has used this ability to learn multiple fighting styles and has become an expert swordsman from watching hundreds of samurai and ninja movies,The ability his eyes have show a lot of potential to allow him to learn every and anything he sees and instantly remember it in exact detail but sadly he has absolutely no control over when they activate and when they don't. He can perform any dance move,sports maneouver or fighting style he sees while his eyes are active but his body has to meet the speed and strength requirements first. General information is also captured and preserved in his mind with a simple glance of the files but his eyes need to be activated for this to work. His eyes are activated when they are crimson.

Member Group: Battle Front

Canon or not: no

Appearance:
(Face claim: Sasuke Uchiha)

Roku stands at a full height of 5'4 ft with slightly pale skin that lacks blemishes or scars,His eyes are simply jet black but may become crimson if his photographic memory ability decided to kick in. He actually hates this ability since it works at the worst times and he can never activate it when he wants it to so you will mostly be seeing his black eyes. His face usually bares a look of deep contemplation and thought or sometimes slight irritation and planning due to him disliking being caged and mistreated by prefects.

Roku has black hair that is styled in a spikey manner but he has bangles that come down the sides of his face, the back of his hair tends to spike upwards. He isn't exactly too musculen but the constant training keeps him quite in shape, He usually wears his uniform completely but after hours he tends to wear multiple types of clothing that have a perfect mix of blue and white which are his main colors but sometimes he may be seen wearing black and red or black and white.

Personality

Overall Personality:
"Humanity is far too flawed. WE, the gifted are given our gifts to Rule over the inferior species...Join me."

The above quote is one Roku uses to gather followers for his cause.

Roku's personality has all the makings of a messiah complex. Early on in his life, he was taught to be a fighter. His father nourished this desire and it was only reinforced when the humans invaded his home. Seeing his father fight and die did not make him adverse to conflict. Instead it made him realize the importance of power and the need to be able to overwhelm one's enemies. This also instilled in him a contrast between the weak and the strong. The huamns were strong and were able to oppress the weak. Being seen as weak, young Roku was instilled with a need to be strong and his gift allowed him to do this.

Having been so deeply impacted by the atrocities of his childhood, Roku naturally seeks to understand this brutal nature. His intelligent mind allows him to study, observe, and document the nature of human conflict. However, the scars of his childhood and the anger he feels for what was done to his family leads him to see all human conflict as a sign that humans are flawed. This is also where the nature of power comes into play. He has power that many others don't. thanks to his abilities. So while he sees humans flawed, he starts seeing his kind (the gifted)as something else. This helps instill GIFTED-vs-HUMANS mentality, one that constantly shapes and guides his action. This along with his fighter's instinct leads him to place the responsibility of confronting human conflict on himself. Thus, the messiah complex is the very core of who Roku is

It is because of this messiah complex in addition to his intelligence that he is able to become such a powerful leader for the Gifted. As a person who is basically a genius and has deeply studied mutation,genetics and evolution so thoroughly, he reasons that the gifted are a natural evolution of man and are meant to be an improvement on the levels where mankind fell short. To him it is only a matter of time before all humanity dies out. This is why he wants to help the gifted escape their prison and take over the planet.

"LET me LEAD you out of our PRISON and to our Destiny... Don't you see it? We were MADE TO RULE over humans!."

History

Family Members/guardians:
»Mother: Asami Katsu
»Father: Tenzen Katsu
»Older brother: (Open for rp)

History: Roku generally had a peaceful childhood, he was always the bright kid in a normal school and he was a bit of a geek since he enjoyed video games and samurai or ninja movies. Roku himself had no idea about his abilities until a group of people attempted to mug his older brother, in retaliation Roku's older brother literraly Disassembled the gun without touching it. The group tried to shoot but their bullets seemed to ricochet off each other due to something Roku's older brother was doing. A few members of the group were killed as a result of the bullets being redirected and the 2 survivors of the 10 man group ran to the police. They needed protection to the handed themselves in but told the police where to find the other members of the gang and what had happened.

The bodies were collected and the police called in the government for back up so one week went by without any word of this to the public. One day while Roku and his older brother were walking back from school a duo of police cars called to them and began chasing them. Roku's older brother told Roku to run, they both ran but the cars proved to be too fast to Roku's older brother caused the roof of the car to collapse on the driver and cave in thus killing one of the drivers. Little did he know that they now had proof on camera of what Roku's brother could do. This allowed the police to call in more forces, Roku and his brother did their best to escape which resulted in Roku's brother destroying a majority of the cars. Eventually the strain of using his ability got to him and he told Roku to run back home Roku pretended to run but quickly went around the corner to watch his brother's last stand. His brother killed quite a lot of police before the government brought in odd people that looked young but also had abilities, They had stars on their uniform and a type of crest. This was Roku's first encounter with the prefects, he watched them overpower his brother and in fear Roku ran home.

When he got home he noticed his body was releasing random sparks of lightning which forced him to hide in fear. He thought that if he had abilities they would come for him too so he kept a low profile until these people came for Roku's father. His brother was said to be taken to some school but Roku knew they were telling lies sadly Roku's father was too hostile to be contained and was killed right there in Roku's home resulting in the destruction of most of their house. This was when Roku was merely 6, his abilities kicked in and he managed to escape. He could charge his muscles and nerves with a little energy in order to speed up his reaction time making him quite hard to catch. Two years went by and Roku himself was captured, he wasn't sure what they would do to him but he found himself in a school that he had hardly heard of. Then he encountered the people in uniform again when they were announced as prefects of the school. From there Roku has wanted nothing more than making a fair world for the gifted, he strongly believes they are destined to rule and he will gladly die for this cause.

Hi! Ok so there are just a few things that we're going to need changed or modified before the app is good to go.

Powers

Ok so firstly, we'll need more limitations on the powers. For the electrokinesis, you actually have two power sets here. Electrokinesis is the ability to control and create electrical energy in the environment, but you also have aspects of another power, being bioelectrical manipulation. This involves manipulation of the body's electrical field and neural impulses. We will need you to select one of the two, and the abilities that go along with it. Once you've done this, we'll also need some more weaknesses to the power, meaning negative downsides to using it. I see nothing in the app about him getting tired with extended use of the power. The one weakness you have is well done, but we also will need limitations on how long he can use his power, and to what extent, before it wears on his energy and eventually drains him entirely. How long can he keep the electrical blade formed? How long can he consecutively emit electricity before being drained? These are questions  that should be addressed. 

Secondly, with regards to metal manipulation, we'll need you to again tighten the focus just a bit. The ability to manipulate all metals extends to things which could be considered very op, such as the manipulation of phosphorus in the blood, or trace amounts of metal found in the body. My suggestion here would be one of two things: 1) Limit it to the manipulation of iron and steel, which are the most common metals found in large quantities, or 2) Limit it to the manipulation of metals which are highly magnetic. This gives you a wider range of options but still eliminates op power uses from the equation. With that said, we'd also need a slight nerf on the overall strength of the power. What I mean by that is that a truck weighs between three and five tons, almost all of which is metal. With that kind of power, this student could easily rip down a school building without much trouble. I would suggest scaling it back, making the max the size of perhaps a small to mid-sized car which is more like 1 ton, and closer to what I would call balanced limits. Also a sentence or two on what I mentioned in the above part, regarding how long he can use his power consecutively before growing tired, would be helpful.


Lastly, and this is just a suggestion, photographic memory actually doesn't give you the ability to perfectly replicate the physical movements that you see others make. It would allow him to remember what they looked like, but not grant his muscles the ability to perform the actions. If you want that power, I would rename this one "adoptive muscle memory," information on which can be found here.

History

There is a slight issue with the history here, this  being that prefects do not operate outside of the school. The people responsible for subduing he and his brother would be known as agents, and their uniform would not be as described. When on duty most wear plainclothes. Aside from that, you may need to alter the bit about him enhancing his reflexes to escape capture depending on which power you go with for his primary. 

Once these changes have been made, the application should be good to go. Thank you!
