Description

Gordon Tsurugi is the name. And yes, I know I don't look very japanese, but my father was when he adopted me, and I took his name. I'm just a seventeen year old 'yanki,' or delinquent, like many here in Metro City. I have spiky dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, with an athletic physique that has some amount of muscle on it, so I'm not all skin and bones. This build of mine is caucasian, standing at approximately six feet total, which I've just recently grown to be. I dress in the classic 'gakuran' delinquents' style from Japan, especially from the 80's age of delinquency. This outfit, the coat and pants being dark blue, consists of a long gakuran coat, and under that, no shirt, but around the waist/stomach, bandages known as a 'sarashi,' used originally by samurai to keep their guts from spilling out, these days though, by youngsters to show fighting spirit or something like that. I have a pair of baggy pants held up by a leather belt, with some cloth going past that belt for a higher waist, slightly covering the sarashi. I have dress shoes/uniform shoes that I've polished to perfection, along with a white headband. Sometimes, I like to throw in extra stuff, like wristbands for when I take my jacket off, or some wayfarer ray ban sunglasses.

Personality

Gordon isn't a very social guy at all. He prefers to keep to himself, and keep his personal circles tightly knit, handpicking both friends, and other delinquents who'll form a gang with him. He rarely brags about his strength or anything he does, preferring to keep quiet, and get on with the day. Challenges of might may not even spur him if he feels it don't be honorable, or the other person is deemed 'too weak.' Speaking of honor, despite being considered a low-life thug, he's actually known among fellow delinquents for his dislike of committing certain crimes, like attacking the weak or defenseless without reason, stealing from a person who has done no wrong, these things among many he simply doesn't have the heart to just condone, even attempting to dispense justice himself if need be.

Another thing people tend not to realize is that Gordon is actually not that fond of simply fighting because he's in a gang and he should attack other gangs. He prefers fighting for sport, to test the might of two fighters, or if it comes to it, self defense, or the defense of others. He may not be a genius put into advanced classes or anything, but he does tend to worry about his grades and that sort of thing.

Strangely enough small children and some animals, mostly pets like some dogs and puppies, are actually calmed by his presence. In return, he himself has a soft spot for those who have innocence in some form, whether it be that they're too young to understand the problems of older people, or they're truly good people at heart.

Equipment

Gordon tends not to carry any weaponry, most knowing him as a 'Human Weapon,' a kind of delinquent feared for their unexplained superhuman abilities. In truth though, Gordon doesn't have any actual 'powers,' everything he does being purely skill from intense training, namely in the discipline of martial arts. Like wuxia fiction (Or certain anime), martial arts are often exaggerated to give bizarre powers solely from the study of technique and preparing the body and mind together to work past the limits of the human being which is possible in real life to a certain degree, such as taking out hard materials like wood, stone, or even steel in rare cases, among various other feats. However, in Gordon's case, he possesses a much more unbelievable style with greater destructive power, movement speed, durability, and a couple of other areas.

It is also for this reason that Gordon is often considered a poor choice for the use of the government. His powers are thought to be purely raw attacks with little power, he himself considered an 'idiot fighter' by many, the concept of gaining powers from purely training hard reduced to a joke among the higher officials and scientists, down to some of the students even.

"Before you even say it: No. I'm NOT a super saiyan."

-

Gordon practices 'Kajiba Ryuu' kenpo. It is a style which depends on the user to have great willpower in order to wield its formidable power, and survive the hellish regiments required to practice it.

TECHNIQUES/SKILLS/ETC- (At the moment)

Sheer Willpower: Gordon, as required by the Kajiba Ryuu, possesses a high level of willpower, allowing him to endure great damage, and perform several superhuman feats.

Ki Energy: Kajiba Ryuu is a style which utilizes the might of the spirit, via life energy found in all things, known under such names as chi, qi, or simply, ki, as Gordon refers to it. Ki advances both the body and technique to truly supernatural levels of power.

Haki Retsu Ken (Fist Of Erupting Willpower): Gordon's signature technique. An orange-red aura develops around the user, and they become all around more alert along with a major power boost. This technique can only be used in short bursts, the more time it is used, the more strain is put on the user. Its deadly history has shown it has not only been able to have great destructive power against others, but also against users who cannot control it properly.

Jyuupokyaku (Ten Steps Kick): Rather than an attack, the Jyuupokyaku is a technique of movement that causes the user to move a short distance at a high speed, usually hypersonic. Those with honed senses can detect that he's moved at high speed, most watching with the naked eye thinking he disappeared, or teleported. It cannot be used in a rapid succession, unfortunately, merely once in a few moments.

Doku Rai Kamu (Venomous Thunder Bite): A bizarre pressure point technique that, if performed properly, can cause damage on the internal level, simulating electrocution and paralysis, best used with a combination of quick strikes. The downside of this attack is the large amount of Ki it takes to perform, which can exhaust the user in one use alone, making it a last ditch resort. Should the user choose to attack during the effects, they would have to act immediately, as the Doku Rai Kamu lasts for a short time.

History

Gordon Tsurugi was an urchin of the streets in his youthful days, having been abandoned by his original parents (at least, that's what he believes) his older brother previously with him before he disappeared also after getting separated in the streets. At the age of 5, he was taken in by a former monk named Ryuuken Tsurugi from a place far off, his monastery one unknown to the world around it, as well as the secrets he learned from it. The man wanted to lead a normal life, and more than anything, to have a family to live with in peace, moving to Metro City to find a job, and live as a 'normal' man would. Of course, the world he hoped to find was not found so easily. Gordon was often bullied as a child, the tormentors only growing worse each year, eventually leading up to physical violence by small gangs. Ryuuken himself also understood difficulty, having to work a job of great labor and hardship, working extra hours to support himself and his adoptive son, while facing discrimination from co-workers. Through all of this, Ryuuken pleaded to Gordon once not to reply to violence and the harshness of his others with rage, to keep working hard, Ryuuken at his job, and Gordon regarding his education.

For a time it seemed they could stand through it. But then came the days where their friends had begun to get pulled into their troubles. This came as the last straw, both father and son fighting back and breaking the promise they had made to each other. This however, would lead to the important development of Gordon witnessing Ryuuken use kenpo against various attackers. Gordon dropped to his knees that day and begged to be trained in the way of the fist and eliminate whatever 'weakness' he had in his body, so no one could ever push him around and look down on him ever again. Ryuuken, though reluctant, decided it would have been best for the boy to train in self-defense. And the years following that day, Gordon was training hard, enduring even the most terrifying methods of conditioning the body, a combination of rage, sadness, and most importantly, an indomitable spirit, fueling his training beyond merely self defense, and towards the road to becoming a powerful man.

It was only recently that Gordon had ran into Kitty while she had found herself in trouble with a big name gang from the street she had been walking on. Thankfully Gordon had been there to protect her. Due to this course of actions, Gordon has developed new feelings for his…'new friend,' and in addition, she follows him more often, even doing a nice thing for him here and there...
