The Ronin, Gima Kaneshiro. Vigilante.

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Gima has a clean shaven face, and overall has a mostly average build. He isn't too muscular, but he isn't skinny. He isn't the patron saint of male beauty, but he looks decent enough and far from being an eyesore. Overall, he looks like the average everyday Joe.

PERSONALITY

He is obsessed with the ancient history of Japan. He is also obsessed with Bushido, The Way of The Warrior. He follows Bushido closely, trying to imitate the old Japanese warriors when it came to honor and acting kindly. He believes he should act like a warrior. Protecting the innocent, fighting to defend himself, and being a peace keeper. He believes that no matter what, no one will govern him in his quest to keep the peace. Though despite his love for the Ancient ways, he has a weakness for the central heat and air, the internet, and other modern inventions So, perhaps an anarchist is something he is not. 

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Young Gima was, at first, unable to use his quirk. Some thought he was quirkless until some testing proved otherwise. It took some time, but eventually Gima's interest lead to him finally learning how to use his quirk. At around 11, Gima began to find that very interest. The Samurai. Despite the last of the Samurai fighting their last battle at Shiroyama, Gima admired them for all sorts of reasons. He admired their armor, their bravery in battle, and how they would serve their Daimyo's wills to the very letter. He began to study them further. His love for these ancient warriors stemmed from studying The Boshin War.







In his teen years, his obsession with the Samurai built up greatly. When he was fourteen, he began to enjoy the idea of the samurai who had no master. Who would go out, and survived by the sword. They were their own masters, and did as they so chose. Gima began to wonder if he could bring the idea of Bushido, The Way of The Warrior, and put it back on people's lips. The more he wondered about this the more he grew in love with the idea. Of protecting the innocent, fighting the guilty on their own turf. He wanted to be like those masterless Samurai. A wandering warrior, he would stop to protect those in need and to fight in their defense. He wanted to become world famous, to let the world know that the Way of The Warrior did not end with the last Five Hundred Samurai at Shiroyama. He wanted to live a life of honor, courage, and as a protector of those who may not be able to defend themselves. But he knew he couldn't do this alone.







Gima had to have some sort of training, some way of being able to fight back. He researched for a few days and discovered just what he was looking for Shotokan Karate. He researched the grandmaster of it, who perished long before he was born, and he knew that this was art he needed to put the fear of Bushido back into those who lived a life of dishonor. He discovered a traditionalist Shotokan Karate Master. Gima currently studies under this traditionalist master, in hopes of reaching a point to where he could achieve such a dream. What Gima doesn't quite see yet is that his actions may just end up with him receiving the worlds most rude awakening sooner than later.

THE ARMORY

Full Samurai Armor and Helmet: Light weight, effective, and out dated. This armor allows Gima to conceal his identity, and have some mild protection against most weapons. The biggest weakness of his armor is the same weakness that killed the Samurai Era, guns.

Modified Kanabo: A Regular Kanabo has many weaknesses, being too long and unwieldy to be truly effective. However, Gima has managed to shorten this Kanabo to a much more wieldable size and added a feature to allow him to fold it in half and hide it away easier. Though smaller, lighter, and foldable, do not underestimate this ancient weapon. It can still hit hard, andh it hard it will if it makes contact.

Katana: Though not made by ancient masters like Katanas of old, this sword is still a deadly and fierce weapon when up close to an opponent. 

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

Mind, Body, Spirit

TYPE: Emitter
RANK/LEVEL: D
SUMMARY:
Every read a story, or seen someone do something, where they manage to complete a task that would normally be impossible for them? Not with quirks, but of people who have no quirks or powers doing things that normally isn't possible? Usually, this occurs during a dangerous situation, such as War or during a house fire. So, what if you could do these incredible feats without the need of an Emergency? A difficult to learn, and harder to master, skill can allow people to do these thing. Uniting their mind, body, and spirit, they can do incredible things. Running longer, hitting harder, not falling to illness as easily, and more. Anyone has the potential to do this, and yet it is also incredibly difficult to do. 

This quirk allows Gima Kaneshiro to unite his mind, body, and spirit easier than other and boosts his capability, such as not feeling exhausted during the duration of using quirk.

One thing that sets him apart from others is that, when he uses Ki, he can project his spirit out further and move objects easier. Some call this 'Telekinesis' but Gima would argue that he is still using a part of himself to move and object, and there for isn't using Telekinesis.


WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
In such a wondrous and powerful quirk, surely there is a weakness or some sort of limitation. That is true. The weakness is similar to a loan from a bank. All the exhaustion that Gima doesn't feel still exists. While he can fight longer than most, he still has to rest. At a certain point,  about three uses in a row, four uses maximum,  he will have to recover. All the exhaustion hitting him at once will, after three or four uses, drop Gima to the floor and he will be unable to continue the fight. After which, Gima might take a few days (1 Thread) to recover physically from the strain on his body. 

Much of Gima's weakness stems from his lack of harsh muscle building or cardio workout. Though his quirk can help bolster his strength and many other things, it doesn't mean that he is as strong as he could be.  At his current strength, Gima (when using Mind, Body, Spirit) would be able to lift a 180 lbs object and throw it 10 feet, at a total cost of 1 use. He can use 1 additional use to double either weight or throwing distance, to a max of 3 uses


Endurance wise, Gima can run about a full block and a half  without a break before needing to stop and recover. In terms of uses during combat, this would be about 1 out of 4 uses..

For his Telekinesis like ability, he can move a four pound object 1 foot in distance for a single use. His telekinesis is also his weakest ability, for he doesn't use it often, and rarely practices it. 

RANK/LEVEL: C
SUMMARY:
This training allows him to combat opponents easier when up close. It isn't so good against a projectile however. Shotokan Karate, when done traditionally as intended by Gichin Funakoshi (1st and only Grandmaster), feels powerful, dynamic and fast.
Shotokan Karate is intended to be a power art. One where you intend on living peacefully but, on the streets where you are forced to fight, you intend on ending this fight as quickly as possible and efficiently as necessary. Considering Gima's rank, he will do good against common street thugs and okay against very low level heroes or villains, however he can easily be out class by someone with experience or more training than himself.
