∞ Physical Description ∞
With an exotic ambiance, everything about Yato defers from the normal New Tokyo citizen. Short blond locks adorn his head as well as unnatural blood red eyes that seem to pierce into your soul and read your every thought. His eyes were not always this color, in fact it is Ira Shoku's fault for the change. They used to be a beautiful green that appeared gentle and nearly always had smile crinkles around the edges.
The fact that he is athletic is reflected in his body type as well, with fine muscles that tend to bulge under the restricting clothing he wears. Yato has always enjoyed sports and used to be on a few teams before the accident that placed him in the sublevels of the research facility.
✦ Lethargy || It seems that after the use of his ability he grows especially lethargic and has trouble moving.
✦ Toothpicks || Yato can nearly always be seen with one in his mouth. You can tell he is irritated when he bites down and splits the wooden stick in two.
✦ Stutter || When Yato grows frustrated he begins to stutter.
∞ Likes ∞
♥ A challenge || Yato often finds himself bored with regular citizens and torturing Freedom Fighters is often too easy, they are sometimes easier to snap than toothpicks.
♥ Sleeping || He enjoys a good nap after a fight, but doesn't everyone?
♥ Drawing || It is hard not to go crazy when you're locked up most of the time, drawing helps calm his mind.
∞ Dislikes ∞
✖ Ira || The old coot is the reason that Yato is here in the first place, of course he despises New Tokyo's leader's guts.
✖ Broccoli || Yato hates this vegetable with a burning passion.
✖ Weak Willed People || He loves to see resolve in others and weak willed humans are quite the nuisance.
∞ Talents ∞
✔ Martial Arts || One of the sports he took when he was young, it comes in use.
✔ Drawing || He's become quite good at it.
✔ Enhanced Senses || Thanks to the lovely research staff at the hospital, all five of his senses have been enhanced.
∞ Fears ∞
✘ Butterflies || Nasty little critters.
✘ Ira || Doesn't everyone?
✘ His Demise || He knows his life is coming to a close, how it will happen however he is unsure.
∞ Flaws ∞
✘ Awful liar || Yato cannot tell a lie for his life; this is probably the reason why he is so candid.
✘ Can't swim || Despite his affinity for sports Yato never learned how to swim, he actually has a bit of a fear of the ocean.
✘ Is a bit selfish || Aren't we all? Yato's only reason for staying alive is selfish. It isn't really for himself though, it is for the sake of a little boy he wishes to see once more.
∞ Secrets ∞
⌛ Yato's biggest secret is that when he was five years old, he killed a law enforcement officer. It was an accident, there was a scuffle in the streets and the man had dropped his gun. Being the curious little child that he was, Yato picked it up and pulled the trigger, hitting the man in the back. The only other witness was bleeding to death on the ground and Yato dropped the gun and ran. He was never caught, thankfully, but it still haunts him to this day.
He prefers to use his ability although he does have a gun assigned to him.
∞ Personality ∞
Most believe that Yato is some kind of monster, that he is irrational and incapable of feeling sympathy. Those people are wrong; every death haunts him, every scream lingers in his nightmares and rings in his ears. Yato is human, he might posses the mark of a Light Bearer but his emotions and thoughts are that of a mortal. Yato only does what he has to in order to survive, if this entails the slaughter of innocents at the expense of his sanity, then he will do it. If not to live for himself, but to at least see him again.
Becoming a monster has taught Yato many things; lesson one is that fear trances every other emotion. It is what causes people to do irrational things and tell desperate lies; Yato uses this to his advantage and does his best to enhance the emotion in order to render his opponent useless. Many see this as a cheap and dirty trick, but once more, Yato does what he has to in order to live. There is someone he needs to see once more before he dies, someone who is waiting for him to return home from the "hospital."
When he isn't fighting, Yato is very easygoing and laid back. Scientists often find it curious as to how he hasn't gone insane and they are often playing mind games with him to see how far they can take things before he goes into a mental breakdown. While this is cruel, it is something Yato has gotten used to. He enjoys chatting with those who come to see him and finds comfort in the fact that he hasn't become a socially awkward NEET. Other then the fact that Yato is a killer, he manages to act as a normal teenage boy who is simply trying to make the most of his youth.
As I mentioned before, Yato is asexual. While he does seek companionship, it is not for romantic reasons.
∞ History ∞
Bound by the shackles of a fate he never wanted, Yato became a Light Bearer at the ripe age of 13. It was during one of the biggest games of the season and in front of his whole school that the ability emerged. He was going in for the winning basket when his whole body disappeared and reappeared at the end of the court. Security forces were instantly on him like white on rice, they tased the boy and cost him the last shot. Panic and confusion caused a riot in the gym and students were forced to evacuate and return home. Scared and confused, Yato was taken to the research facility where they stripped him down and discovered a rather large Light Bearing mark that wraps itself around his torso. An amazingly detailed Chinese dragon now adorned his once bare middle and it came with the ability to manipulate energy particles. He can rip his body apart and accelerate through solid objects, as well as use send small bursts of energy through things.
It was in this same building that Ira stripped Yato of his identity. He was no longer Hiiro Jonas, but was now simply Yato. It wouldn't be until he turned seventeen that he was given a new last name and the title of mercenary. First Yato had to go through extreme trials and tests, they couldn't actually keep him locked up because of the fact that Yato could phase through walls and so they tortured him to ensure that he understood that he could not escape. The thirteen year old was easily broken by the cruel scientists that tore his body apart in the name of research. It was these same people that accidentally enhanced his senses and permanently changed his eye color to red.
On his sixteenth birthday Yato began training to combat the Freedom Fighters who were causing riots across the Commonwealth. Nearly a year later he was given the alias Toshi and an ID chip as well as the opportunity to leave the Research Center for short amounts of time to cross off enemies of the country. He is never allowed to venture out alone, there are always at least two law enforcement officers that accompany him to ensure that he returns when he is finished. Of course Yato could kill them, but with the ID chip tracking his every move and the fact that he becomes lethargic after he uses his ability, he figures it is better to do as Ira wishes then risk being taken down.
∞ Other ∞
Yato is allowed to interact with the other Light Bearer's at the facility and has actually become quite familiar with a few of them.
