Yu the Red Panda/Red

This is an article about Yu, the fursona of OrichasTheGreat.
Yuniko "Yu" Masako Himura is the fursona of Kanji/Zion.
A guy who comes from a hick town in Yurashia, now moved up to the United Federation, where he realized that he can use his imagination for his own personal gain. A nomadic red panda who searches for something interesting to do, he's always caught up in a mess (to make fun of the events around him). He mostly travels around the world, ending up in most places of the creator's friends.
==Appearance==
===Physical Appearance===
Yu looks like a regular red panda cub. He has similar features to a regular red panda, including the mask and small stature. He stands at three feet and four inches and weighs seventy-two pounds. He has light blue eyes that seem like they're glowing (which is hinting the large amount of soul energy flowing through his body). He has flipped long hair that goes down to his shoulders.
===Regular Attire===
Yu could be usually seen wearing a reddish-orange dress shirt and black tie with black jeans and matching shoes. He occasionally wears a beanie or some wrist accessory sometimes. He could be occasionally seen with his necklace from his father.
===Alternate/Summer Attire===
In the summer/spring days, he is usually seen wearing a dark blue, short-sleeved dress shirt, black skinny jeans, and dress shoes. This is also complimented by a black tie and a detective's cap. Interestingly, he favors this outfit more because it has a "snazzy" hat.
This alternate outfit is inspired by Naoto Shirogane's summer outfit in Persona 4.
==Personality==
Yu, whenever you first meet him, seems pretty chill and seems to be just there a lot. You could be at school and see him do the school work/eat while in a completely different situation than the lunchroom. You could be out and about in the city, and you could see him doing whatever there is to do. He's just always quiet and controlled around certain people or high-ranking individuals, despite how much hype could be built.
When he was younger, Yu was really, REALLY dishonest about a lot of things. He lied to friends, family, teachers, etc., he always could be seen stealing his electronics back back, he could be seen acting like a complete asshole for no reason. He never took responsibility for his actions, he used excuses to weasel his way out of trouble, he denied constructive criticism when he said he would accept it, and he was just so self-centered. Since then, essentially everyone he knows have made him see the error of his ways by either just getting rid of him, teaching him a lesson, or helping him (suprisingly). While he still acts more or less the same, he has seen his faults, and actually openly admits that he messed up. He believes that if he were more honest about himself, he would gain some type of closure from it.
Yu is heavily "intelligence and reason" based. Academically, he makes mostly high As or high Bs, as school work seems to be always too simplified for him, causing him to get bored (which is a good thing, as he will force himself to do homework and gain knowledge from it). While he is textbook smart, he is quite street smart. He uses both of these to his advantage to win arguments or to make a point. He could be seen as a pragmatist most of the time, but he has his head in the clouds in other times, constantly thinking about the unknown. Though, around his friends, he could be defined by many things... mostly stupid, being honest.
Yu can be defined as an opportunist as well. Whenever he really feels like it, he knows how to manipulate a person for personal gain. He usually uses this knowledge to settle conflicts between allies or to make someone's reputation slowly start to crumble slowly, but surely. He always likes a good backstabbing to the right person, making a person's life miserable if they cross him or his friends, and helping a friend out whenever they need it. Yu is a careful planner, always observing, always analyzing, and when he finds the right moment to strike, he'll take it.
Around his friends, he acts more like himself; a calm, but crazy goofball. Yu is like that one friend that always has the ideas on what the squad is gonna do everyday, along with the voice of reason among them. If one does manage to become his friend and earn his trust, Yu would expect the person to not lie or betray him, put their complete trust in him, and respect and appreciate him. If said person does that, they shall receive the same treatment. Yu honestly wants to see his friends happy, and he wants to see them improve in whatever they're invested in. He is VERY supportive in a lot of things (ex: homosexuality, race, gender, fanfictions, etc.) and doesn't seem to mind any kind of people whatsoever. This could be odd to some, but an open invitation to others. 
Deep down, Yu wants peace. He wants everyone to be happy, from his estranged family to his friends to people that deserve it. He shares a common belief amongst old politcians and world leaders that if everyone (humans, Mobians, mythical beings of the sort, aliens (lol), etc.) started working together as a team rather than create conflict with each other, there would be so much that they could accomplish. "If there are already so many amazing things on this planet, so why not build upon it?"
Yu has grown up, but also his faults. He's gone from being over the top to stick in the mud. He's grown up to value doing his work rather than ignoring it. His fear of abandonment and loneliness are significantly lessened, seeing of how easily he could get new friends. How people perceive him is no longer an issue; he could honestly care less. He's too busy trying to improve life for himself and many other people in his future. Sometimes, though, his curiosity has gotten the better of him, leading him to situations that could end really good or bad..
==History==
===Birth and Childhood===
Yu, born as Yuniko Masako Himura, was born in a local military base in Yurashia. He was born to Asuka Minima-Himura and Akio Himura on April 27, 2XX1. He was somewhat smaller than what the doctors expected and he came out not even shedding a tear or bawling. He weighed five pounds that day and he was the size of a foam football. Many people said that Yu was born a special child, due to a majority of his veins glowing from the large amount of unknown energy coursing through him.
After draining the "energy" from him, which took a couple of days, Yu was given to his mother and father. He was praised by his whole family as he arrived to his grandmother's house. Everyone gave him kisses, hugs, raised him in the air, sang to him, and all that good stuff. After a few days of taking care of him, his mother and father were unfortunately not there for most of the time for them both being in the army. His grandparents, aunts, uncles and his older sister, Haruko were there most of his early years.
The little red panda was silent for most of his early years. He played with his elders' old toys often, and he didn't really seem to care if they were in bad condition or not. He watched a lot of kids' shows of cartoons hitting each other on the head with hammers. Yu took an interest in reading childrens' books, such as tales of three goats or a thief who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Besides that, he didn't do anything else. He barely laughed nor cried. He kept a calm face, no matter what he was doing. This made the adults concerned, as they wanted to see Yu laugh and smile while playing, but they were never given the opportunity.
By the age of three, his mother had resigned from the army and started finding a new job. Her and Yu's dad had starting forming issues with each other. They were constantly arguing, to the point where Asuka tried to cut her husband with a kitchen knife. As soon as their kids were involved, they decided it would be best for them to divorce and find new people. After the whole divorce, they decided that Asuka could take the children and Akio could see them any free time he gets. The last time Yuniko saw his father in real life, he gave Yu his small jeweled necklace, meant for his mother. Shortly after, he was gone.
This was the first time Yu had cried. Or, the very least, shed a tear.
Everything changed after that one moment. Three years after his mother's divorce, she eventually found a man to marry: Daniel Wilson, a Mexican grey wolf. Four years after her second marriage, they bore a child; a small red panda by the name of Ki-Ki Wilson. Yu started to act happy to their eyes and that's all they saw and cared about. Deep down, Yu was suffering from depression from unknown reasons. He had no one to go to for his problems. He felt alone. At the tender age of ten, Yu realized the Internet; an event would soon come later that would alter his personality significantly.
===Realization of the World===
At the age of ten, he has realized that the world is an evil place.
Yu found out about the Internet, surfing information about random things he took an interest in. He was on a website of where one can post videos on, and saw a news report on something recent happening on security camera footage: An echidna getting shot at by a human, just because he was a mangily animal.
Yu was surprisingly shocked by this. He was about to hurl from the horrible scene he just watched. He looked at more information about it, curiosity getting the best of him. He found even more showings of violence besides the first one. He found out about controversial topics and cases for them, realizing that some of the stuff happening to those people is happening to young people like himself. It kept going and going, hitting Yu hard. Eventually, he shut the computer down. He put his hands over his face as he started thinking about those horrible things. Simple questions started branching off into much more complicated questions. Who would do this? What were they thinking when they did these horrible crimes? Why would they hurt others when they know they're consequences? How could someone do such a thing to a Mobian or human being?
Yu thought and realized the hard truth.
People were.. ignorant and incompetent. People didn't pay attention onto what was happening around them nor did they care. They didn't watch what they say and they didn't think about who would react and what. Yu saw teens and even adults fighting amongst each other because they were to ignorant to pay attention to one another. They were acting like children. Small kindergarteners, just... more immature, stupid, and older. He was utterly mad at the world. He was mad at the stupidity and the audacity to do such things.
Yu became mentally unstable. He acted bitter and sarcastic, more evil. His parents decided it would be best for himself to just walk away from it all. They sent him away to a military academy located out of country. After a long, grueling three years of military academy, he came out a changed person. He waited for his mother and father to come get him... Only to realize they abandoned him, trying to completely forget about him.
Now a paranoid 13-year-old who's afraid of betrayal and loneliness, Yu decides to roam the land until he can find a new hope or purpose that can fill the void that his family left.
===2 Years Prior===
Before the present day, Yu decided to completely isolate himself from the world. He chose to live in solitude in a forest, eventually finding an unknown giant tree house belonging to a certain faction. It seemed to be habitable, as it had technology, armor, and weapons inside of it. He updated it most of the software, placed most of the weapons inside a "safe place" (a literal safe six feet underground), and chose to stay there as his new home.
Before long, he found out that there was a pathway for every city in the United Federation. After that day, he started occasionally going out to do stuff to entertain himself. A few weeks later, Yu met Vishal.. A clone who was made by an unknown man.
Vishal was rage-fueled, though. He was leagues stronger than Yu, and found that to his advantage. Yu saw himself eventually beaten near to death by Vishal, if not for unknown allies defeating him. They were able to erase Vishal's memories and turn him into a dopey little brother. Soon, Vishal ventured off to find new adventures from himself. A few days later, Yu thought to himself, and thinks that he hasn't learned anything from being a paranoid, lonely kid. He finally started to get realistic and fix himself.
Yu decided to change his life completely. After settling things with himself, such as his meaningless depression, he decided to take some responsibility for himself and just leave it all behind. He packed up the essentials and left his treehouse, going for a lifestyle similar to his brother.
He encountered new faces amongst the way, learned a lot about himself and his powers. Through constant practice and understanding, he became expertly trained with imagination manifestation. This led him to one of his famous puns of "using his imagination".
After two years of wandering the planet, he finally matured. He moved on from his horrible mistakes and is ready to make up for them now. He decided return to his roots; his old treehouse. His whereabouts of this moment are completely random.
==Relationships==
===Family===
"I see most of my friends as my family. Besides, my regular family is really disappointing.. Well, everyone is pretty cool except my stepdad. He can go get fucked with a rusty knife for all I care." - Yu
===Friends===
*Vishal - Yu's "little brother". Made by a mysterious man who cloned Yu for the sole purpose of killing his "father" reformed into a dopey, adorable child via memory erasing. Yu and Vishal haven't seen each other in a few years. One would wonder where his little brother has gone to...
===Neutral/Rivals===

==Powers/Abilities==
===Mobian/Red Panda Physiology===
As a Mobian, Yu naturally has innate and enhanced senses of hearing, smell, taste, feel, and sight. Due to being a red panda, he can climb walls and trees with ease with his thick nails.
===Imagination Manifestation===
Probably the strongest point Yu has. It is unknown on how he got this power, and odd that an adolescent like him can even control it to the point he's at. Whenever Yu uses this power, Yu's left eye glows bright blue and he snaps his fingers. A certain effect happens, such as a glyph where he can spawn a specific item, an item being slowly repaired or any other effect. Though, this power does have a select set of rules that Yu has to follow or dire consequences happen;
#One must be able to have complete focus and fluid imagination in order to completely utilize this power.
#One is able to create anything possible, but they are unable to summon more than three things at a time, without a small "trade", usually a blood sacrifice.
#One may never use this gift to control one's free will.
#One cannot destroy anyone or anything. They can, however, regenerate or heal anyone/anything, at a price of a leveled migraine to unconsciousness for a certain amount of time.
#One is able to create summons from their imagination, and the summons are bound to them. If the creator dies, they are able to live on as normal.
#One will have to master this on their own. That means you cannot summon a physical way to help them master it. All the damage they have caused prior to controlling it, if any, will be on them. The consequences of their actions are up to the authorities and/or those effected.
===Telekinesis===
This is currently unknown to Yu, due to him having a weak soul. He will eventually gain this power once he has a drastic life changing effect that actually makes him react in a way that shows emotion.
==Skills==
Yu seems to be quite skilled in a lot of criteria, mostly analyzing events and outcomes. He can predict certain events by a person's personality, recent/past actions, and many more criteria to pinpoint if one will mess up or if they are to be left alone. He uses this to read into an situation or to use it to his advantage. He seems to have a vast knowledge of pins and bad jokes as well. He usually doesn't joke around with puns unless he actually knows the person he's talking to. Whenever he does this, a rimshot plays in the background, horribly.
His main thing is mostly art and writing, even though he's mediocre at both of them. He's constantly told that he's good at writing, but horrible with portraying the characters, with making characters based off tropes and giving them a rather flavorless sarcastic personality. He aims to try his best, but is usually ignored and never given the benefit of the doubt. With art, he's completely basic with it. Sometimes, he's satisfied with his work, but other times, he would want to bang his head against the wall.
Besides that, he is pretty basic with everything else. He barely knows to handle a blade and he barely knows how to fight. Despite this, he's always the one that stands up to the big baddie with an insult. He usually is easily brushed off after this, still throwing insults at them.
==Weaknesses==
===Physical===
*Yu has fatigue after a long time in the blistering cold or the blazing heat. If he doesn't get to moderate tempature, he might just die from exhaustion.
*Yu is incredibly small and more prone to harder attacks from bigger enemies.
*He has a miniscule problem with hearing from having his ear pierced.
*He, obviously, can be killed. Since there are revivers and other occupations for reviving the dead, this doesn't really have a consequence.
===Mental===
*If someone he cares about gets critically injured, he might lose his common sense and go on the offensive, giving the opponent an advantage.
==Trivia==
*This page was made on October 17, 2014 on the Agent-Kai account.
*Yu was born on April 27, making him an Taurus. He shares his creator's birthday.
*Most of Yu's clothing is based off characters or armors from different medias, mostly games and TV. Most of his alternate costumes range from rogue hooded armor from Dark Souls, a summer outfit from Naoto Shirogane, and so forth.
*Yuniko is derieved from the name Yumiko, which means "arrow child". His middle name, Masako, means "proper child". His last name Himura means "scarlet village". In short, Yu is a proper child with a deep inner desire to serve humanity and give to others coming from a scarlet village. Fitting.
*Yu is a neat freak. He likes an organized environment, otherwise, he cannot function properly as a regular individual. This is based on the creator's pet peeve of the area around him not being clean or people being slobs.
