Jaguarman (Raikan Nekozawa) [Villain]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Talk about the buffest boy around, Jaguarman sits at a tall tall muscle cat. He's blonde, and he has a hot little 6-pack he worked on himself. He is a strong beefcake, open-shirted and a show-off of his strong pectorals. Upon his head, as part of his Quirk, he had two cat ears that work as his ears atop his head like a cat, as opposed to human ears.

His blue eyes and beautiful tan lines are just some of his most attractive features on those pectorals, but what really takes the cake is his normal appearance. If you see his profile picture above, a chibi version of what he might look like in full form. His whole body grows hair to match his blonde hair, like a jaguar's fur, spotted black. His body grows just a size bigger, forming at 6'6'' and becoming even bigger in muscle mass at about 230lbs. A little more ravenous too, with razor sharp claws. His blue irises filling his whole eye.

PERSONALITY

"RA-HA-HA! So you want to know who the great Jaguarman is like? I shall tell you when the time is right! ... AND THE TIME IS NOW!"

The manly beefcake boy Jaguarman is every bit the muscle boy that he proclaims himself to be. He exudes manliness with every fiber of his being, and he doesn't care who knows. He doesn't yell to the world at the top of his lungs about it, but he does show off. He's an entertainer at heart, and he loves to get the crowd hyped up. He is the hype, and he will forever think of himself as anything less than that. Whether it's in the illegal underground matches in the ring, masked wrestling, or even just playing the drums in his band, the Strays, he shows it all off.

But wait. You might be thinking, how can Jaguarman hate booty calls for being an entertainer? Ah, so glad you asked that question, random reader! Jaguarman likes getting to know people. He's found out from his many years playing out his Quirk and namesake that he likes being personal with people; which is really difficult when you're always using your live persona, which if you forgot, is Jaguarman! RA-HA-HA! This makes it impossible for him to enjoy random booty calls. It makes it so hard to connect when he cannot even be who he is on the inside. It makes connecting with people hard, especially the cuter, more fragile guys he takes an interest in.

"What do you mean? I'm Jaguarman."

Know what Jaguarman loves more than the entire world? Being Jaguarman. But more than that, he loves what comes with it; his Quirk giving him fur, and his abundance for loving to eat fish. He hates jewelry and wearing shirts; it confines who he is on the inside. After all, as you know, he is Jaguarman. See? He hates eating food made from a dumpster, or shit like eating small yen packets of ramen noodles. But more than that? He hates the man underneath. The Raikan who loves to sew, or the money he needs to pay for bigger fish. But above all, he hates... cabbages. Burn the cabbage patches.

Now, when it comes to love, he loves his siblings for being who they are on the inside. He's the kind of big brother sibling who loves them, no matter who they are. Whether they are Yahi-kun, Benji-kun, or Kazu-kun. They can do no wrong by him, because he is Jaguarman. But love, aside from his siblings... now that's the hard part. He wants a cute guy, someone he can be with forever, to cuddle at night and hold tightly. To warm up with his furred self. He wants Raikan to hold them. Not just be Jaguarman all the time.

"Ah, yes. I like fur. What of it? RA-HA-HA!"

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Some children are born lucky. Others are lucky to be born. For Yahiko, Benjiro, Kazuo, and Raikan, they were the latter. Raikan's earliest memory was easily one of his most hated. Feeling the cold slap of a drunken mother, and the physical abuse of the father, all to keep his brothers from harm. He still remembers to insane detail the amount of pain he received just acting as a lightningrod.

Some nights he succeeded. His mother would stop her verbal abuse of them and pass out. Sometimes his father wouldn't do a damn thing to them. Those nights were few and far between, but they were the best nights of his childhood. Because it meant he could steal bread from the kitchen and give them each a slice of bread, since their mother had been too drunk to get them food.

Imagine. That's how being four was like. It only escalated. Child protective services were called, but nothing concrete could be made, else they would meet the end of a blade. They were subservient in saying nothing was wrong. Often times, Raikan would fall asleep at the door to try and keep it from opening in the morning. In the morning, it all started all over again. More abuse, more pain, and just a cycle. Maybe that day would be better.

It hardly was.

When their Quirks developed, it wasn't long after until it reached a fever pitch. They could do various things with these gifts; Raikan learned he could become strong enough to take the abuse. But the night it all went down, it wouldn't be enough.

That night, when they were all seven years old, and their mother came home as usual, a drunken mess of a woman, she was furious. Another day where they had to feed those little leeches. A lapse of memory made ti unclear to Raikan who said the remark. But it had been cold enough to get the two into a murderous mood. One thing led to another, and Raikan held the door as long as he could while in an activated Werejaguar state, but they threw it open. They were going after the most useless of them; the one without a Quirk. At the time, that had been Benji. Raikan saw the knife and tried as long as he could. Getting beaten and bruised, broken. The last thing Raikan remembers then was being thrown into the wall, and hitting it hard. Watching his dad move to Benjiro, and as he crawled, or did anything to stop him... it was too late.

Raikan doesn't remember much more of that night, because it was soon after Benjiro's 'death' that he passed out from shock.

When he came to, their mother and father were on the floor, red. What was left of them, anyways. But after an extensive mess of trying to hide bodies in an injured state, the three remaining brothers would hold one another and cry for their lost brother... only for Benjiro to reveal his Quirk and that he was okay. The group hug was the most heartfelt the quadruplets ever. They were free. And they were not torn apart.

The next six years of time was perhaps harder than the first seven. A fight for survival at a young age. Raikan often stole bread, but the other siblings brought just as much to the table. They killed, mugged, stole. Sometimes, they just held someone at knife-point for a good night's sleep. Yahiko learned to burgle, Kazuo and Benjiro used cuteness to gain illicit funds from scam charities. Raikan helped wherever he could. Money was tight. Moving place-to-place as best they could. They eventually found their salvation.

As it turned out, Kazuo and Raikan had been in some underground fights too before the age of thirteen, and after working out at the gym at such a young age, Raikan would cut a deal with the owner in return for use of the back of his gym which he didn't use. At the age of thirteen, this would serve as home.

Money continued to pile in; the feline siblings doing whatever it took to survive, such as hustling in an underground ring as Jaguarman. More expensive foods, like fish, salmon, and other foods that were not fish and salmon came through their little mini-kitchen.

Some days, Yahiko wouldn't come home in those years. Benjiro would become slightly tilted. Sometimes, it felt like Kazuo was his lifeline to his siblings, but Raikan would do whatever it took to keep the Nekozawa brothers together. Anything. And then an idea came one night, as he heard Kazuo singing Benjiro and Yahiko to sleep.

The Strays were born, and with the money they made doing various crimes? They were able to buy a music set, and rent out a studio.

Their music was never amazing, but they wer ein the underground scene, and the siblings were able to get underground famous, to a degree, playing at shitty venues occasionally. Thanks to some silent marketing with reverse pick-pocketing, they were able to get some fame. And so brings us to today.

Raikan is now eighteen with his siblings, livign in a comfortable back area to a boxing gym with his siblings, often on bunk beds. On the bottom bunk of one, he often finds himself doing odd things, such as sewing, or occasionally hitting a punching bag in the gym. Added to this, Raikan still does underground fights with or without Kazuo, putting the bets on himself, and opting as Jaguarman, where his namesake comes from, wearing a Jaguar Mask to hide his Quirk. Raikan is happy, but if he has to admit, he longs for the touch of another guy, often hearing these encounters Yahiko has and getting a tad envious.

Just one boyfriend, maybe? He had been so busy trying to watch after the sibligns as a doting older brother, he has had not a lot of time for dating. Maybe soon?

THE ARMORY

Jaguar Mask - This is for novelty value during his masked wrestling ventures. Often, Jaguarman goes as the Masked Jaguar in the ring, and this protective mask not only protects his identity, but looks fairly menacing, as it should! RA-HA-HA! No one will be able to guess Jaguarman is wearing a Jaguar mask in the ring! It's so dumb, it has to work!
Jaguar Gloves - Two gloves that work as support items that morph to the clawed hands of activated Werejaguar. The gloves are black, and assist with gripping if he grapples, helpign with wrestling.
The Strays Drumsticks - A pair of rather pricey wood. Used to make percussive noise upon a flat surface that reverberates the sound out to create what is known as a 'beat'. Strange is the mannerisms of the hoomans.
Jaguarphone - Ah yes, the Jaguarman phone; the oldest kind of flip phone that one can find, with a little keychain on it to booth of a little jaguar, in case anyone forgets whose phone it is. The Jaguarphone is how he contacts all of his associates, such as his Jaguarsiblings, and any associated relationship he has currently. It also makes a cute ringtone of his supposed theme song. 8-bit.
Jaguarman Weaver Tools - Sewing is a past-time of Raikan's. His favorite past-time is to make little Jaguar plushies, just because he understands sewing to a degree. He loves sewing, but that's a Raikan activity. Not a Jaguarman activity, which is 995 of his activities.
Palmtop Jaguarman Plushie - A plushie he has made with his sewing skills. Cute, and accurate.

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

WEREJAGUAR

TYPE: Mutation
RANK/LEVEL: B+
SUMMARY:
"RA-HA-HA! You wish to know of Jaguarman's Quirk? I shall tell you of my legend! It all started at the early age of post-birth, where Jaguarman and his siblings, affectionately referred to as Jaguarsiblings-"

Passively, his ears are not normal human ears, and are instead cat ears atop his head. As such, his hearing and sense of smell are heightened to that of a jaguar's hearing and sense of smell. He also has a tail, though it only acts emotionally as he does, such as when he gets scared, the fur stands on end. He can move it around his waist, but well, it still reacts emotionally to how he is. Otherwise, the Quirk does nothing if passive.

Ever see a werewolf? Probably not in real life, but it utilizes the same concept. When activated, Raikan's whole body begins to morph, growing five inches in size, as well as twenty-five pounds in muscle mass, growing fur over his whole body, as well as growing in muscle mass. What Werejaguar gives Raikan is improved strength to about five times his normal power output, allowing him to lift, climb, crawl on all fours, and swim much better. His increased muscle mass also gives him five times shock absorption in endurance. He grows claws for more devastating slices with his hands, being able to tear throw cloth, or leather, and fangs to make biting more lethal, with the same cut through to leather, but not metal. His senses become stronger in all regards, such as for sight, sound, and smell.

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
"I has no weakness! RA-HA-HA!"

This is a blatant lie. Jaguarman has quite a lot of weaknesses, he merely wishes to think he doesn't because he is Jaguarman. For starters, his passive Quirk has one major flaw that carries over into his Activated Quirk; his tail. His tail is his most damning Quirk aspect. When grabbed and gripped, Raikan becomes paralyzed, and cannot move at all, his whole body falling over, and if activated, will be ejected from Werejaguar's Activated state. This is combated by the fact that Raikan has slight emotional control of his tail. But once it is grabbed, Raikan is done-nion rings.

That's the most damning, but that's not the only one; not by a long shot. See, when Jaguarman is transformed, his senses are heightened more than his passive state of Werejaguar. As such, his sense of smell, for instance, can smell even the weakest of smells... and thus, strong smells become overwhelming; like the smell of gasoline, or such as, someone breaking wind. Unfortunately, this isn't as damning as grabbing his tail, but it turns out a smell that potent might make his tail react with these emotions.

Now, mind you. Activated Werejaguar is 5 posts at current max length, and this is all the way, or not at all. This means a full body transformation that must be sustained by energy. Once those five posts are up, he can no longer go into activated Werejaguar within the same thread, and must rest for 2 posts with minimal activity. This doesn't mean just sleeping; this means not exerting any real strength. Like, for instance, if Raikan were to be in a fight, and he attempted to keep going for one post? He would tire himself out, and require five posts of rest instead, starting on that post. That's his second wind, unfortunately, and it comes at quite the cost.

Now, Werejaguar's strength multiplier is merely five times his normal strength capability at any given time. For instance, he currently benches 330lbs, or about 150kg. Thus, he has a max of 1650lbs, or about 750kg he can lift in activated Werejaguar. He cannot lift higher than that, as the strength works on a multiplier of passive Werejaguar Raikan. As such, to gain strength, he must make gains.

Finally, as a bit of flavor, Raikan has a weakness for fish; salmon, to be exact. Grilled salmon makes his tail stand on end, and he may forget any hostility he had to begin with once he sees the proper fish. That doesn't mean he'll tell on his brothers, or a lover, but he can be convinced to rat anyone else out by a well-made grilled salmon dinner. This also makes grabbing his tail, which again, biggest weakness, stand on end.

RANK/LEVEL: B
SUMMARY:
Here's the thing about Jaguarman. His manner of fighting style is that of a luchador, and he loves to do masked wrestling. Wrestling is how he fights, and he loves grappling techniques and hoisting someone over his head, or giving a piledriver. He is every bit a bit wrestling fan, and has since he was twelve, often catching shows of American wrestling on a budget TV he pilfered. It's his natural showmanship sport. Most of all, in his underground fights, he loves wearing a jaguar mask while using activated Werejaguar, and then have someone rip off his mask only to realize they were fighting a real jaguar. But you know, that's after using all of these wrestling moves.

RANK/LEVEL: C+
SUMMARY:
For the Strays, the band he and his siblings have made, he is the drummer. He likes hitting things, and has learned how to put that love into the skill of skillfully and rhythmically hitting a set of drums. Now, if only he didn't break a drum or two every time he played...

RANK/LEVEL: C+
SUMMARY:
As stated in his Quirk, Raikan can lift about 330 pounds, on the average. This is due to his own power in the gym, and his normal, day-to-day visits in order to gain this amount of physical prowess. It's definitely not 202lbs of fat; that's for sure.

RANK/LEVEL: C
SUMMARY:
His favorite past-time is sewing! Especially jaguarman plushies. He has numerous threads, needles and such at his home, his room is filled with his own handiwork.
