Hikaru

Name: Hikaru Kitagawa

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: You have the pictures Gabe. The only difference is that, underneath the clothes, are tattoos. Down his back is a landscape, the most prominent being the mark of his family, a stream following a path that is reminiscent of the blade he always carries with him.

Personality: Hikaru is a very serious person in most respects. Honor is a very large thing, albeit a little warped - personal honor matters much less than the honor of his family and who he works for. The only time he's not serious is his love of animals. Damn things, being so cute.

Home District: E Wing

Equipment:

One katana. It is a family heirloom, created using I Corp's singularity. This allows it to build up kinetic force as the weapon is swung, and deliver it all to perform one high-speed attack.

A rad motorcycle, also from I Corp, allowing it to perform with very little fuel requirements.

Augments:

Danger Sense: To battle against cheap shots and backstabs common in the backstreets, Hikaru has sensors in his brain that beep to warn him of unseen danger, as well as the direction it is coming from.

Reflex Enhancer: The name says it all here.

Backstory:

We begin with a short recollection of the Kitagawa family, The creators of their own form of sword techniques, using different animals to represent their different stance, all based around the originator of the Kitagawa name, who one day simply appeared out of the Black Forest with the stances formed - nothing is known about his time in the Forest, only that he came out as a swordsman, making his way into the city to create his family.

This unnamed ancestor moved into I wing, and, at some point, a high ranking official was saved by the Kitagawa family, leading to the creation of the Kitagawa family's sword, using I Corp's singularity.

A few generations later, we find ourselves part of the evolution of the Kitagawa clan - moving, at some point, to the E wing and joining the Kurokumo clan. Here we meet Hikaru, the star in his father's eye - younger brother of Hiroshi Kitagawa, who was always more on the tech end, never good at the sword like his younger brother, and older brother of Sasina Kitagawa, who was more of a busy body around the house. However, this never caused any dissonance between the children, born five years apart in each direction. The Kitagawa clan always stays together...

...until they didn't. Move forward quite a few years. Hikaru has begun working as an enforcer for the Kurokumo - the one that they send in after people refuse to make their protection payments. Should've made your payments so the weeb with the sword didn't cut you open, loser.

At this point, there is a battle between the Kurokumo and the (insert the other WEEB people here Gabe), involving Hikaru's father - and ending in his death. Around the same time, Hikaru's brother, Hiroshi, got a hold of sensitive information through the lines in E wing's backstreets or wherever they were idk Gabe. This lead to him fleeing, along with the member of the opposing Syndicate, leading Hikaru to chase them both - and running into a fixer of the Shi association at the same time, one Ian Santano, who, after some convincing, agreed to help Hikaru become a fixer and chase down the two..both paths leading to H Wing.

Here we are, only shortly after this occurrence, with Hikaru having joined the section 6 branch of the Shi Association, chasing down leads in H Wing. Here we are met by the only other fixer that Hikaru has a real beef with - Lucy Green of Liu Association, who he encountered on his first mission, their points of view opposed - Hikaru trying to take their target out quietly and finding them in the middle of a fight with Lucy. Ever since, they have been in opposition of each other - rivals, if you would. Hikaru, to this day, keeps up with regular mail with his parents on his search for brother and his father's murderer.
