Appearance: Putting on quite an amount of muscle and mass, Kyo is a tall and well built young Japanese man with long black hair and amber eyes- covered in various scars all over his body when not covered by clothing and gear. His expression is typically apathetic and lethargic, though there are times when his features grow noticeably sharp when his emotions flare up.

His gear is an assortment of various armors he's created for himself, all sharing the common theme's of his homeland. This causes him to come across as rather.. eccentric in appearance in Australia. Casual wear consist of only the most fashionable of your edgy clothes- dark colors and ragged, worn out garments. While he does own some rather good looking clothes, they're almost always saved for special occasions or Squad missions, if he can help it.

Occupation: Trainer

Personality: Formally one word: Kuudere. Despite the fact he was actually quite a friendly kid, he's long since taught himself how to properly act as he once believed was best. This presented him as a very cold person, often times being as blunt as possible to avoid beating around the bush or creating complications, and comes across as being incredibly cynical as a result. After a sudden revelation at the Institute he has grown noticeably more emotional and reckless, going as far as to show a slightly sadistic side when involved in any sort of fights or altercations.

He's a man that is afraid of showing weakness of any kind, revealing his true nature only to those he considers very close or dear to him - typically a very short list, though it has been steadily growing as he's come into contact with other like minded people. If you're not considered a friend, more often than not you'll get little conversation out of him if he's uninterested. Stoic and cold is how he usually presents himself to most people, effortlessly deflecting the good intentions of those around him.

In truth, Kyo is a very tired person. He was the first to take responsibility in any situation, and often times attempted to silently take on the burden of the world upon his own shoulders in order to spare those around him and satisfy his own selfish desire to be a hero. This had resulted in a ton of stress accumulating, and has finally broken the make-shift dam he had created around his actual self, allowing him to become more true to himself.. even if it's at the expense of his humanity.

Besides all of that, his hobbies and interests revolve around psychology and technology.


While specifics have been long lost due to (assumed) technical error, the earliest records of Zen's activities were recorded in America in which he'd traveled to from Japan in search of his fathers murderer as nothing more than an exchange student with the name 'Kyo Odaka'. While initially he wasn't noteworthy in any aspects, he took on a number of responsibilities and became involved in a few peoples lives while he searched.

Luck would have it that this was the place he discovered his real Gifted abilities, which initially took the form of lightning-based manipulation. Eventually it became evident that it went far deeper than that though, and the youth became tech-savvy as he pursued the path of power with the new understanding of his Electromagnetic manipulation; becoming involved with a number of less than reputable individuals who promised him both a purpose and strength in return for his service and loyalty.

Many of these promises went unfulfilled; however, which pushed the youth to chase after these things on his own rather recklessly. He became involved in the ever popular role of a Vigilante, refusing to cooperate with other people as he became a sort of lone wolf. This landed him in some hot spots with the locals; a noteworthy point of interest being a recorded hospital bill that he skipped out on after what could only be explained as a giant blunt object nearly caving his head in. His life went by relatively peacefully, all things considered.

After a violent incident that caused him to drop school altogether, the young man went off on his own to find himself through his own means - which involved traveling away from the place that'd made him who he was until that point, and he reforged himself better than ever before inevitably being found and brought to Melbourne for The Starbound Initiative with promises of honing his skills further.

Primary
Electromagnetic Manipulation (Level 1)
Kyo is able to manipulate Electromagnetic forces, allowing him to generate electricity and phenomena such as sword beam emissions on his weaponry; which he's capable of firing blasts of energy with or using them to enhance his slashing, stabbing and hand to hand combat. These often take the appearance of blue or green energies, almost phantasmagorical in nature. Other than these combat uses, he can also sense disturbances in electromagnetic waves within close proximity of himself.

Secondary
Banisher's Blade (Level 1)
A fabled weapon said to slay the creatures of the night, this is Kyos most valued possession that has been growing along side him in more recent years. Originally a temporary construct, it's long since become a permanent mainstay.

At level 1, the Banisher's Blade is an incredible durable sword that has boosted his Endurance by one tier.

Tertiary
Electrically Enhanced Speed
While originally a simple temporary boost years ago, Kyo has since fine tuned his body into a lethally fast weapon without burning himself out from the increased output. He electrically stimulates his nerves and muscles, increasing his Agility by one tier.
