[CCG Investigator ]
A chimera-type of Quinque, Taichi obtained the lost battle weapon The nutcracker. A weapon that has both Kokuaku and Bikaku kagune to it, the weapon resembles a staff, or bo-staff. The staff upon activation is able to become explosive and damage enemies within the surrounding area. That's all Taichi knows about the weapon so far and hasn't been able to discover it's other abilities yet. Formerly belonging to the investigator Ginzai Shirazu, The Nutcracker was named after the ghoul it was made from (Whom was a chimera-ghoul herself). The staff's shape is very thin and tall, the height being nearly the same as Tachi's own.A deep red oak, or ghoul rc flows around it as it's brushed off with brown wooden trimmings.
Often in his over-sized winter coat, he does stand out whether it be summer or winter he's seen with winter coats. The big fox fur surrounding his neck covers a large part of his neck which is severely damaged from previous encounters. One could say Taichi was quite handsome without his mask, but he has very little time for love or compliments in that matter. Often he has he's thermo-jumper on topped with leather guards in which he stashes things or objects eg,money,id and projectiles. Due to him often (if not every day) wearing his mask his age is quite hard to guess as he also has quite a raspy tone but a young-adults body. Usually he goes with some type of Combat boots for his footwear, either laced up and large or hard and small.When somewhere out of town, or where not a soul would recognise him, Taichi unwinds sightly removes his robe and changes into casual things. His face often being sweat ridden from wearing the mask all the time, Taichi washes his face numerous times in a day as he keeps cleanliness a important part of his life. Always one to shower himself with colon and what not he loves to smell good, even if it does attract the scent of every ghoul about.
Never one to socliaze, Taichi's never directly spoke to someone of his own will. He'd much rather prefer solitude to making friends and speaking to others, only speaking when the bare minimum is necessary. He'd much rather let his arms and legs do the talking, instead of his lips. Though it's landed him in trouble (with ghouls and humans alike) he wouldn't change it as it makes up who he his. When forced to do things he's not to keen on, Taichi will react aggressively or passive aggressively as he's own will will not allow him to stand down. Often one to play the villian, he doesn't necessarily get along with his peers or anyone for that matter. It's always just been him against the world. Truth to be told, he fears opening his heart to others as it's already been grineded to dust once never again. He has a cold side to him, in which he'll confront anyone and tell them their faults. Though he has a cold memento and all, all villains have a soft side to them. Taichi's no exception. Though he'll act like he doesn't care, he'll always keep a eye on them even if he doesn't show it, maybe in battle he'll flick away a shard or two from his allies way. Or assist a kill, but he'll never admit it and he'll just say it was a mere coincidence, he'd rather die first. There's been occasions when he's even been thankful to his peers, though rare it has happened. Over the years he's softened though not totally, slowly he's coming around he's not the stone hearted person he was some time ago. Though he doesn't know when, he has hopes/dreams of becoming a functioning member of society again, perhaps settle down retire once he becomes a senior maybe even start a family! Who knows were the wind will take him.
In his spare time, he's usually found preparing for the next mission or assignment. One can never have precaution enough yes? When in battle, Taichi always remains calm and keeps a cool face as he believes it's key to winning the battle. Never has he once gone into a frenzy as most of the time he sees it always ends up in blood. Though he may not look like it, Taichi's a very smart student so much so he was a scientist for the CCG before deciding to become a investigator. And that's why when in battle Taichi examines the enemy and their weakness before finally decided to attack. He's non socialising life gives him plenty of time to brush up even more on his knowledge, as when he's on his own he either has he's face in ancient book or sharpening a tool or two.
All in all, there's parts of him that are all over and it's not like he's a robot. On celebrations even he's able to crack a smile or two (though it comes to him quite awkwardly)
Unfortunately, Taichi was never destined to have a blessed childhood, infact he was to have the quite opposite. His father was a useless drunk who came home and beat him and his mother whenever he had a drink or two. Taichi learnt to fear the man at a young age and had no love at all for his old man. His mother would always tell him they would run away, and that it would be fine one day. He convinced himself that it would get better his pops would realise what he's doing, sadly it was never to be. When Taichi finally reached 16 he started providing for the family on his own as he's father was somewhat of a useless pig. It was a hard toll on him, providing for his family whilst keeping up with schoolwork nevertheless he tried he's absolute best in school so that he would not end up like his father. A time came where his mother had landed deadly ill, and his father had abandoned them both in their time of need. Taichi had no other option but to resort to underground crime and he started associating with a Yakuza called Oniki who had provided him with cash as long as he provided them with blood from the rival gang. A year or so after, the sun was finally begging to shine his mother was making a better recovery and he had met a beautiful girl called Akame. The 2 were deeply in love with each other and were inseparable one could say. Little did he know that the girl he was in love with was a spy from the rival gang set to destroy him and the gang from the inside.
Once, when they both went out for a stroll together she said that she had left her purse in the warehouse she had worked it, Taichi having no reason to question her had followed the woman to the warehouse. From their sprang a considerably large amount of gang members beating him down with all sorts of weapons Bats, Pipes, wrenches you name it he was getting hit with it. Barely managing to scrape by with his life he asked what the meaning of it all was, until he came to a realisation that he had been betrayed by one of the only people he opened his heart too. After that the man was never really the same, and he lost many of his quirks and sanity one could say. Unknown to her, Akame was no longer of use to the enemy gang and they slaughtered her right in front of Taichi's eyes. Still madly inlove with the woman, Taichi started shaking kicking all he could to break out of the bonds he was tied down too. But it was all too late and she had passed on.
2 years onwards, Taichi had reached the age of 19 and had studied science for quite some bit. He knew most of what there was to know about chemistry and physics, and mechanics. Mentally, he was quite gifted but after his incident he wasn't all there. A month went by, his mother had unfortunately passed on and in this world he was now all alone, thought he had mentally prepared himself for it as he knew his mother wasn't getting better anytime soon. The only person who he really kept in contact now was he's professor who had taught him all so much. Without him, god knows where the boy would be right now. Sometime in Autumn, Taichi decided to stay behind and study some more. In the solemn room, it was just him and his professer who had know grabbed a napkin and was wiping his face.
Taichi had decided to ignore the random action as he knew aswell that his professor wasn't all there either. When he was finally about to leave he had made it to the janitors cabinet before he's professor had approached him. Unknowns to Taichi the man was actually a ghoul ready to have his next meal. He stared at his professor for a brief moment to ask what he wanted but before he could say a word a had sliced across his face aiming for his throat. Sent into a state of panic Taichi ran into the Janitors cabinet before briefly being followed by his professor. Determined not to die, Taichi grabbed a stick-like looking like staff from the cupboard and smashed it into the jaw of the old timer. Quickly recovering, the man leaped onto Taichi ready to devour him, panicking Taichi hit him with the staff and he's hand slipped onto a certain place on the staff which makes it explode. The explosion sent Taichi and the professor different ways and the old teacher breathed no more. Whilst Taichi's neck was pooling with blood from the explosion which set the fire alarm off. In time, paramedics took him to the hospital and nursed him back to health, though there are still scars on his neck from the encounter.
From then on, he had got a job and the CCG and discovered that the staff was actually a weapon called The Nutcracker. For 2 years, Taichi was a scientist for the CCG designing and making countless Quinques for the investigators. Later on he decided to become a Investigator himself and worked his way up to Rank 1 which brings us to the present.
