Born in the enigmatic Ryugu-jo Lab, a joint scientific endeavor during WWII by German and Japanese Scientist with the objective of mixing Hidden World genetics with human DNA to create an army with the powers of Oddities and Yokai. An army known as the Myth Soldiers. Toramaru, as most of the Myth Soldiers, escaped the lab when two independent groups ended up inside the Lab for different reasons. He joined the others in Shinwa-Mura, the village the Japanese Government gifted them for being experiments during the war, as compensation.
He lived alongside his older siblings, the twins Daigoro and Daikichi, until the JHWAB Cultural Branch officer, Eiko Kintategami brought folders of possible activities the Myth Soldiers could do to participate in the Hidden World Culture and get out the depression many felt, in fear of the open sky after living so many years in a closed space. Toramaru was enthralled by the prospect of getting into Inazuma Gakuen and without much effort from his part, as most of his life he trained and fought constantly, he managed to enter.
He collaborated with Rin Shishioh and the Gen Rescue Squad (Tentative name) in Osaka to help Gen Shishioh and while assisting Crow Cementerio on his fight against Masako Hihashi, Toramaru lost his right arm at elbow’s height. Now he still assists to Inazuma Gakuen, one the 2nd Year and desires to expand his knowledge of the world and his fighting prowess, he is considering joining the BHA or doing some freelance work for the JHWAB like his brothers, who protect Osaka.
Personality
Toramaru is out-going, trusting and friendly. He tries to get along with everybody he meets. He has very few notions of social rules, has no respect for personal space and is openly bisexual. His time in Ryugu-jo living in close quarters melted off any shyness or shame he could have, and lives openly respecting the choices of others and not caring if they don’t respect his own. He isn’t easily offended or angered.
Appearance
Toramaru seems to be around 15 to 18 years old, he has bright red skin with a couple scars. He is extremely lean yet very muscular. He tends to wear simple clothing, usually not even bothering with a shirt, sometimes he wears a cloak of tiger pelt. He has pointy ears, two horns and sharp red eyes. His canine teeth are longer and pointier than a regular human. Instead of hair, in his head or otherwise, he has flame-like energy he can control, making it as cool as warm water or as hot as magma. He is missing his right arm and he creates a replacement with Oni fire, with similar properties to his hair.
Powers and Skills
Myth Soldier
As his older brothers Toramaru is a mixture between a human and an Oni. The powers conveyed on this mixture aren’t vast, but they are quite potent. His body is stronger, faster and more durable than regular humans. He has a focus on speed, capable to clocking over 150 km/h while running. He is highly resistant to damage, capable of taking small caliber bullets with ease and greatly diminishing the piercing power of high caliber bullets. Explosive rounds or artillery rounds can hurt him, but not to the extent they would hurt mundane humans, meaning he can survive them. He is strong enough to bench press 3 tons, he is capable of lifting more, but 3 tons is his average.
Natural Energy Attunement.
Oni are creatures of Fire and Shadow, yet in every registered case of the Myth Soldiers experiments they’ve only showcase one of those two natures. Toramaru isn’t an exception so he is linked to the element of Fire. He can generate flames of varying temperatures and size, allowing him to hurl fire balls at medium distances (50 mts at most, with diminished effectivity). Another feature of this connection is the ability to instantly cauterize his wounds, as his body temperature rises upon receiving wounds, searing them with intense hit before losing too much blood. His right arm is a construct made of fire, he can control it to avoid burning people by accident or injuring them, he can also extend it or expand it to increase its range or power.
Martial Arts
Toramaru was trained by his older brothers and Houzi Nagare during his time in Ryugu-jo, he is a very proficient fighter in what seems a hyper aggressive mixture of karate and boxing, with elements of Muay Thai, not from the style itself but from evolution of techniques. He also added wrestling like moves to his arsenal after discovering them in TV when he started living in the Myth Village. In Inazuma he sharpened his techniques even more and learnt how to properly combine his Fire Nature with his martial arts, developing the Oniryuken (Demon Dragon Fist) that focus the flames he can summon in devastating techniques with a myriad of effects, like late detonations, focused blasts or hyper concentrated fire balls.
