Kobuko

== The Golden Monk ==
Kobuko was born in the steppes of Townlong, a land known for its serene landscapes and resilient people. His father, Xiao Feng, was a humble farmer, beloved by all for his kind heart and unwavering willingness to help others. Xiao Feng's gentle nature made him a pillar of the community, always ready to lend a hand to those in need.
In stark contrast, Kobuko's mother, Yu Lin, was a formidable member of the Shado-Pan. Despite her bravery and skill, she was often feared and ostracized by her peers due to her reputation as a bloodthirsty assassin, a condition exacerbated by severe PTSD from the brutal Mantid War.
Tragedy struck during the Horde invasion of Pandaria, when the Sha outbreak ravaged the land. Xiao Feng perished heroically, defending the village children with the bravery of a warrior. Yu Lin, however, fell victim to the malevolent influence of the Sha, transforming her into a grotesque, rampaging shade of her former self. In a heartbreaking turn of events, it was Kobuko himself who had to confront and ultimately unmake his own mother, an act that left deep scars on his soul.
== Stand Power ==
=== Appearance ===
Five Finger Death Punch manifests directly as Kobuko's fists, enhancing them with an otherworldly, golden sheen. The fists are adorned with intricate patterns resembling ancient monk symbols and are tinged with a red and gold aura, matching Kobuko’s monk robes. 
=== Stand Abilities ===
1. Five-Point Strike:
This ability allows Kobuko to deliver a series of five rapid, pinpoint strikes to an opponent’s pressure points or vital areas. Each strike can either paralyze, incapacitate, or cause immense pain, depending on the targeted area. When combined with Kobuko's Hamon, these strikes can also disrupt the opponent's energy flow, making them particularly effective against both physical and supernatural foes.
2. Elemental Harmony:
Kobuko can channel and manipulate the elemental forces of nature through his enhanced fists, akin to Hamon energy. This allows him to control elements such as water, fire, earth, and air. These elements can be infused into his strikes or used defensively to create barriers or offensive waves.
3. Spirit Resonance:
By syncing with Kobuko's Hamon, Five Finger Death Punch enhances Kobuko's physical abilities, increasing his speed, strength, and agility. This resonance also boosts healing and regeneration, allowing Kobuko to recover from injuries rapidly. Additionally, it can transfer Hamon energy into allies, revitalizing them or boosting their abilities temporarily.
4. Pressure Point Domination:
Kobuko can visualize and target an opponent's energy pathways and pressure points through his Stand-enhanced fists. This ability allows him to shut down an enemy's Stand abilities temporarily by striking specific points, effectively neutralizing their powers for a short duration. It requires precise timing and accuracy, making it a high-risk, high-reward ability.
5. Death Punch Finale:
This is Five Finger Death Punch's ultimate move. Kobuko concentrates all his energy into a single, devastating blow. The impact not only deals immense physical damage but also sends a shockwave of Hamon energy through the opponent's body, causing internal disruptions and potentially incapacitating them entirely. This move is a last resort due to its high energy cost and the toll it takes on Kobuko.
== The Gifted Requiem ==
Appearance: Five Finger Death Punch Requiem manifests by giving Kobuko an extra pair of arms that seamlessly blend with his body and fur, as if they were always a part of him. This evolution only occured during the battle against Grand Empress Shek'zeer. Kobuko was beaten to death until Bulut'anish himself possessed his chosen's body, breaking the limits of his stand.
Stand Abilities:
# Five-Point Strike Requiem:
#* This ability is an enhanced version of the original Five-Point Strike. The additional arms allow Kobuko to deliver eight rapid, pinpoint strikes to an opponent’s pressure points or vital areas. Each strike can cause paralysis, incapacitation, immense pain, or even disrupt an opponent's Stand abilities. When infused with Kobuko's Hamon, these strikes can also destabilize the opponent's energy flow, making them exceptionally effective against both physical and supernatural foes.
# Elemental Harmony Requiem:
#* Kobuko's extra arms can channel and manipulate elemental forces with even greater precision and power. This allows him to control multiple elements simultaneously, creating complex combinations of water, fire, earth, and air. These elements can be infused into his strikes for enhanced offensive capabilities or used defensively to create robust barriers and protective domes.
# Spirit Resonance Requiem:
#* The synchronization with Kobuko's Hamon is heightened, exponentially increasing his physical abilities. His speed, strength, and agility reach superhuman levels. This resonance also greatly enhances healing and regeneration, allowing Kobuko to recover from injuries almost instantaneously. Furthermore, he can transfer amplified Hamon energy into allies, either improving their abilities or even resurrect the fallen although such has been done only during the time Bulut has taken over his body.
# Pressure Point Domination Requiem:
#* With the additional arms, Kobuko can target an opponent's energy pathways and pressure points with unparalleled accuracy. This ability allows him to completely shut down an enemy's Stand abilities for an extended period by striking multiple critical points simultaneously. This precision makes him a formidable adversary, capable of neutralizing even the most powerful foes.
# Death Punch Finale Requiem:
#* The ultimate move of Five Finger Death Punch Requiem channels the combined power of all four arms into a single, devastating blow. This attack not only deals immense physical damage but also sends a massive shockwave of Hamon energy through the opponent's body, causing catastrophic internal disruptions, pulverizing them entirely out of existance, both physically and spiritually.
# Temporal Strike:
#* A unique ability unlocked by the Requiem evolution, Temporal Strike allows Kobuko to manipulate the flow of time for brief moments. With this power, he can accelerate his movements to deliver strikes faster than the eye can see, or slow down time to evade attacks and strategize his next move. This temporal manipulation gives Kobuko a significant edge in combat, allowing him to outmaneuver opponents and exploit their vulnerabilities.
