negative attributes:

• Egotistical- Kioshi has a big head. He believes that he is never wrong and that he can literally do no wrong. He does not allow this to get in the way of his good judgment, and that is one of the reasons why he has such a big head. This rarely comes out in the presence of women, however if a woman acts like a guy, he may let slip what he really thinks about himself.
  
• Womanizer- a real Don Juan of his time, Kioshi is a skirt chaser. However, he makes it clear before bed and after a few drinks that her infatuation with him is nothing more than a passing fantesy, however their time togeather still can be a night they will never forget. He does this so the woman does not cling onto him later believing they had a real relationship. He's been known to have an attracting effect on women as though he were a magnet and is never short on charisma when talking to those of the opposite sex.
  
• Merciless- Having no pity for the weak, no sympathy for the defeated, and no compassion for the fools who dare stand in his way of accomplishing a goal. He does not go around killing everyone he meets, however, he can judge and execute someone in the blink of an eye. He finds no guilt in killing, he holds no remorse for his actions, and he belives that in all his actions, he is completing what he was born to do.
  
• Lazy- What's a person without something of a lazy streak? Kioshi doesn't spend much time working on really anything. What he does, he is typically able to pick up in ten minutes flat any longer and he may just toss it aside looking for the next more interesting piece of information to suck up. Kioshi enjoys days where he just does a bunch of nothing... walking around outside, hit up a couple bars, take a few ladies to a hotel, have some fun, go home when he's done. Maybe if he's lucky, he runs into some fools who don't know who he is. And he sends them a message they'll never need to remember again.
  
• Assertive- Kioshi is neither a passive nor an aggressive communicator. He'll use rough words, however he will not try to manipulate someone through what he says. Even so, he will continuously bring up a subject he strongly believes he is right about, he will continue to poke and prod away at the person who can change it and he will not rest until that person either changes it to his suggestion. He subtly refers to such suggestions and somehow the convorsations always end up going in the same direction. This bad habit has been known to be fruitful, however annoys the hell out of his victems.
  
• Denial- Kioshi is in denial with himself and who he is. He will not admit he's wrong, ever, and will alter his perception to be more in line with the right answer. Kioshi goes into denial with many things and will not touch on those matters again as long as he can help it. Instead of dealing with hardships, he pushes them to the back of his mind to be forgotten.

good attributes:

• Dependable- Perhaps the best of all the good attributes, when he's on your side, he's behind you 100%. There's not a power in the world that can stop him from keeping his word nor having one's back. Being raised on the streets, he has learned the necessity of loyalty, thus, he treats those of the Kawazu like they were a part of his own family.
  
• Confident- Kioshi knows his limitations to a 't' and makes decisions accordingly to the knowledge of how much he can bite off at a time. Thus, he is always confident that what he's doing is the right decision. He does not rush important matters and others can see the definite way he presses forward no matter the circumstances.
  
• Intelligent- Everyone's intelligent, not everyone takes the time to think out their actions before taking the necessary steps to completing the goal at hand. Kioshi is able to take his time or think on his feet depending on the situation.
  
• Empathetic- He is able to relate with others very well, it's one reason why he is so good connecting with women and why women typically feel at ease with him. He feels other people's pain as if it was his own and is able to see things from many different perspectives.
  
• Gentlemanly- Kioshi, though a little rough, has a certain air about him that commands respect. It's this same air that originates from his regal attitude and the way he treats women. He is polite and treats them like flowers that might be crushed underfoot if not careful... however, he lacks such finesse with those of the same gender, his rough and tough side coming into play with others of the same sex.
  
• Calm- Though he is able to relate with others, he is able to deal with these emotions internally without the need to spill over onto others, not unlike a sponge. However, he loses his composure at times when the stress becomes too high and he must find a way to release. However, he typically finds his satisfaction in women and thrill hunting. He is always looking for where the action is and will settle down in a place he believes will be the next hot-spot.

the likes:

• Immunity- Though rare, certain women in his life have an immunity to him. He is endlessly fascinated by women who are immune and he spends more time on them because 1) He wants to learn why they resist him, and 2) He has to prove to himself that he can catch any girl... and the harder they are to catch, the more accomplished he feels the day after.
  
• Chinese food- Though Japanese, Kioshi loves food from the mainland!
  
• Thrill- Kioshi is a thrill seeker. He goes out of his way to do everything the more dangerous, harder way. If given the choice, he will give himself a limitation before attempting anything. It keeps him on his toes, keeps his mind working fast, and increases difficulty for him to push himself constantly to grow stronger.
  
• Piano music- Perhaps something one wouldn't expect from him. Kioshi greatly admires those who have mastered the art of playing music, particularly the piano. He is not what one would consider a master pianist, however he has developed his skill in his freetime. His skill in reading and writing music is non existant, however he is able to play what he hears in his head... with a couple wrong notes here and there depending on the difficulty of what it is he is hearing.
  
• Sweets- Anything sweet! Kioshi's single weakness is his sweet tooth, the one sure path to his good side, you can't go wrong when giving him free sweets!
  
• The List is Ever Expanding...

the dislikes:

• Womanizers- He is able to sniff these out a mile away, and anyone who makes progress with a woman he couldn't is one in his eyes and he despises the person anyway. He believes they put a bad light on him though he shares in the same weaknesses. Womanizers with absolutly no finesse are also on his dislike list, even moreso than any other type. In these cases, he teaches them to do it properly, stealing the woman while at the same time giving him a lesson of just how bad he was and just where he stands as far as a master goes.
  
• Dishonor- Those who show disrepect to his face or to his friends. He treats those he has allied with like his family, anyone messing with them will find a sword to the throat or a gun pointed at their head in a matter of moments, no exceptions. He would gladly risk his life to help them as he thinks they would risk their lives for him.
  
• Death- While he does not care who he kills or killing itself, he has a very mild fear of death and aging. This does not prevent him from seeking out dangerous ways of doing things and happens more in flashes than a prolonged amount of time worrying over it, however it is a touchy subject for him and he constantly wonders if all that religion crap has something to it or if it's just for those who wish their lives to continue on in some 'afterlife' bullshit.
  
• Stolen Sweets- goes hand in hand with having a sweet tooth. If there's the oppertunity for him to eat the item as an alternitive to throwing it away, he will. If someone takes the last piece of cake as he was reaching, he'll get pissed off beyond all belief! Don't mess with a guy and his sweets!
  
• Chuck Norris- If you bring him up, Kioshi will pound your face in, no exceptions. Why? He doesn't really know himself, only that someone important to him didn't like him so Kioshi decided that he wouldn't either...
  
• The List is Ever Expanding...

TO FREE HIS MIND ,

weapons & items:

[unless stated otherwise]
Casual

• Katana & Wakizashi (Katana on left hip, Wakizashi on right)
  
• Concealed gun [6 round cylinder feed] (strapped on left wrist)

[if stated otherwise upon thread enterance]
Assassination

• Knife
  
• Silenced Semi-Automatic P99 [15 round detatchable box feed]
  
• Flash grenade [3]
  
• Sunglasses

skills & unique traits:

• Luck- Kioshi hardly needs to try for the tables to turn at the drop of a hat. When they say luck is 'when opportunity meets preparedness', they were only half right. Kioshi finds himself in the right time at the right moment with the right skills. However, getting in that position to begin with takes luck itself... and that's something Kioshi does not lack in the slightest.
  
• Sixth Sense- This goes hand in hand with the first unique trait to Kioshi. He doesn't have the ability to see the future, however he trusts his instincts to take actions that provide for him the chance to be 'lucky'. This may occur at any time in a thread or it might not occur at all.
  
• Genius- If one can use the term. Kioshi is a fast learner. He assimilates information at a rapid rate which ties in with his 'luck'. He never had proper education past the eighth grade, however this hasn't stopped him from constant learning and adapting to his situation. He has gained street smarts instead of book smarts as he has learned to fight by watching and adapting on other people's fighting styles.
  

companions:

• Tommy Barandez- The "Leader" of a gang in the slums who keeps a close knit family out in in the south western end of the city. He has been interrigated by the Kawazu upon Kioshi's entrance to the Mafia, however Tommy knew as little about the silent Kioshi as anyone in the Mafia. He was found around 13 wandering on his own when Tommy found him, the man took him in, gave him a 'home' and fed him. Well, if one could call a corner in an abandoned warehouse a home and if one could call stealing food to eat feeding. Tommy, however, can attest to Kioshi's luck. Not once, but five times in a two month period, the fifteen year old Kioshi dodged death. Afterward, Kioshi vanashed without a trace leaving Tommy and the others behind.
  

history:

Unknown.

Kioshi was the son of Yuki Igarashi, it was suspected his father was none other than the previous Head of the Kawazu Mafia. However, no evidence was found supporting this theory. All the information that is on Kioshi is that he grew up on the streets learning to fend for himself. Yuki's death was ambiguous, there were several theories stating she commited suicide. Kioshi doesn't comment on this, however, he mysteriously vanished into thin air without a trace the night of her death. Kioshi is the same age as the son would be and fits a physical description. Besides that, he denies all ties to Yuki. Previous to joining the Kawazu, he worked as a freelance body guard or a hired hand to take care of a few loose ends. He was not affiliated to any side and because of this, he was in constant danger. Recently, he came to the Kawazu Mafia seeking protection and offering his skills to the group. Records of him start at 13 years old when he was found to have been a part of Tommy Barandez's gang. He disappeared at 15 years old. At 18 he reappeared as a bodyguard for a wealthy family in the city and at 21 he disappeared when thugs overran the estate, the man and his wife were found safe outside the premise, however Kioshi was nowhere to be found. At 24, Kioshi reappeared at the Kuwazu's doorstep, offering his blade and talents to the new leader of the Kawazu Mafia...

And the rest has yet to be written.

"Love? To tell the truth, I don't believe in such ridiculous fantasies." Kioshi whispered in a hushed voice. "I call it, a deep infatuation. Because when you wake up in the morning, you'll have forgotten about me and life will continue as normal." The lights flashed from reds to blues to yellows quickly, the music pounding in the background, a mosh pit of people in front of the pair, dancing, drinking, and screaming their lungs out. The damn fools would probably all have hangovers in the morning. There was only one thing one could get drunk off that didn't leave any negative side effects. The red-head stared back at him, her brown eyes twinkling in the lights, he could only guess his had the same effect. She was beautiful, and innocent, she seemed rather out of place in such a party and her embarrassed smile and light tinge around the cheeks made it clear that either she was as good as he was, or he still had it!

"But-" he smirked, "That doesn't mean we can't make the most of tonight." He said as he leaned in, pecking her cheek, lingering close to her, his lips brushing against her lightly. That was all it took for her to finish the deal, she leaned in closer to him. She, drunk with passion and a couple alcoholic beverages; he, reaping what he had sown.

"Come on," Kioshi nodded his head, sitting up on the couch, placing a hand on hers and gripping it. "Let's go, it's a bit too loud in here." Yes, it was true, it was loud... but at the same time, they could get somewhere more private, where they wouldn't be disturbed. She didn't say anything as they walked through the crowd; however her eyes showed a tinge of excitement. As he opened the door, cool night air slapped against his face as he stepped out of the emergency exit into the dark alley way.

Tch

The puff of air escaped his lips, his right hand raising to his forehead, flinging aside his bangs before circling down to rest on the hilt of the katana gracefully, the caress of a gentlemen in his fingertips as they lightly felt the leather hilt before loosely gripping it. It seems they weren’t alone. A group of older guys, in their late twenties, stepped in their way, laughing, playing with weapons of their own. Nunchucks, Sai, hey, they even had a gun in their ranks. A .44 Magnum, 8 round, high power and cracks like thunder. He knew the model all too well as he eyed it. The silver gleam of the barrel in the light left a tension in the air that there wasn’t there before. The guy holding it laughed and walked forward.

“Look what we’ve got here, boys! A rat and a mouse!” The obvious leader of the motley crew spoke. And the description wasn’t far off. It seemed they wore multi-colored garbs that clashed and looked awkward with the other clothes they had on. Either colorblind or no sense of fashion at all. Kioshi’s jaw clenched for a moment before a malicious grin came to his face, his eyes lighting with an icy fire.

"Didn't mommy ever teach you to not talk to strangers?" Kioshi asked, his feral eyes trained on the group who cut him and his gal off. “You never know what psychos you run into in a place like this.”

Punks.

The one with the Magnum didn’t seem to take the words well. “You know, I could blow your brains out right now ass wipe!” He laughed in cackling reply which seemed to turn into a growl as he spoke, “So I’d watch my mouth is I was you!” Kioshi put his left hand out in front of the girl.

“Close your eyes.” He commanded softly to the woman. She obeyed without question and without a word, the seriousness carrying through the urgency of the command.

“Wha-? Are you da-” the leader started, his guard relaxing for a moment. That was all Kioshi needed. The leader's eyes widened and body fell backward to the ground, a loud bang ringing out through the air, Kioshi’s left arm raised his hand flexed back having activated a now visible mechanical thing on his wrist that had been hidden under his long shirt's sleeve. The barrel of the contraption smoldering, Kioshi’s eyes burning into the maggots that stood before him, still not comprehending what fate had befallen their idiotic, lifeless leader.

“Time to play!” He growled with a sickening smile as he charged forward, blood splattered the walls and the screams of his foes rang out through the night as the metal slashed through muscle and bone… To Kioshi there were two highs he got throughout his day. The high that came from women and the high that came from a life and death struggle.

Yet no matter the high, silence was always what followed…

[pudding !]

ACCEPTED,
- just a few conflicts with the history. the kawazu mafia has always been the kawazu mafia; run and owned by the kawazu family directly. kioshi was the suspected love child of the former head, a kawazu. but no one knows for sure. the mother never said. and kioshi took her family name. soooo, fix that up please and you should be good to go!

[IGARASHI, KIOSHI]

but... wouldn't that mean that Kioshi's mom was married to the Kawazu and would take up the Kawazu's surname? eh, w/e xD I'll just change it

[pudding !]

ACCEPTED,
- ever heard of the whole affairs deal that some people in relationships and marriages had? it would have made kioshi's mother, the previous kawazu head's bitch/call girl. kioshi is an illegitimate son, a bastard child that was not recognized. if you're still not clear in it, hit me up a pm and i'll explain in further detail (: but otherwise, character's approved. have fun.
