Adrian

Adrian L. Kelman, otherwise referred to as the Iron Fist, is a nineteen-year-old human currently operating as a First-Class Investigator within the Knightguard's Squad Jupiter and formerly as a one-man operative in the Agency. Along with Nathaniel Dyre, Adrian bears the role of co vice-captain of the squad. Adrian is the youngest of the family of Dawnguard and CJA Operatives known as the Kelmans and has been trained at their ancestral home; [redacted].
==Personality==
Ideologically, Adrian is considerably different to his counterparts in the CJA in that he sees no need for the mindless slaughter of all Jokers. Despite being sired by two prominent investigators in the Dawnguard, Adrian never took their narrow-minded beliefs that they use to "justify" the slaughter of all of what were effectively mutated humans as his own; despite constant repeated exposure to these concepts.
As a result, Adrian is not one for the proclamation of the conditioned and implanted ideals held by the majority of the organization's investigators. From his world view, Adrian sees the world as dependent on an inherently precarious balance; with humans on one end, and Jokers on the other; despite being for all intents and purposes the same thing. As a result, in order to preserve the world and maintain it's ordered state Adrian believes that no side can completely exist without the other, though the disruptive effects of both sides must be mitigated. As an investigator in the CJA, Adrian serves as an enforcer or maintainer of that balance, countering the disruptive effects of Jokers. 
This also leads into his disagreement with the commonly held belief that all Jokers deserve death, as not all Jokers inherently threaten the balance between Jokers and humanity. However, his ideology has forced him to understand that part of the balance between both sides is an attempt at destroying the aforementioned balance on both sides as well; as the constant chipping away at the influence and power of both ends amounts to a net destabilization of nothing after the fact. If one side dares threaten the stability of the world to an unreasonable degree, the backlash and results could be catastrophic on each side, perhaps particularly more so for the CJA due to the relatively unpowered nature of most of humanity.
While Adrian is by no means one who would betray the Knightguard, Adrian personally sees some of the more excessive levels of hatred anyone working in a squad with another to be unnecessary, and missing the point of the organization in his eyes. As a result, Adrian specifically had elected until the point of being made Vice-Captain of Squad Jupiter to work alone, carrying out HQ's orders specifically without having to put up with unnecessary murder. After all, Adrian is a force of balance, not a butcher.
==Backstory==
*Was born to members of the Dawnguard who joined prior to the formation of a specific Anti-Joker task force in the Knightguard.
*As a Kelman, Adrian's family from his parents to his extended relatives taught him to see their role as maintaining the balance between humans and non-humans.
*Being indoctrinated as a young boy, Adrian underwent exceptionally difficult training beginning "grooming" for training the moment he could walk, and "training" from the age of 3.
*Due to the conviction of the Kelmans, it was decided that any organization with a purpose similar to the Dawnguard should have a Kelman in it's ranks, and it was decided that Adrian would join the Knightguard.
*Adrian joined the CJA at the relatively young age of fourteen; being underestimated due to his age by his superiors and peers alike except for those fully aware of the nature of his ancestry.
*On his first assignment, Adrian was sent off to Luxuria as part of the [REDACTED] squad; instigating combat in a church which then needed to be "cleansed" in the name of secrecy; without Luxuria's agreement; the events leaving him somewhat traumatized by churches.
*Worked as a loner for quite a few years, quickly racking up a high Joker kill count with high efficiency before being deemed ready to be a squad leader.
*Working with others for the first time was a new experience and he took the time to get to know each member personally, a bad move in his line of work.
*Had a former squad, ....was in charge of a squad, stuff happened. As a result, he elected to go without a squad for years until being drafted into the CJA's Squad Jupiter.
==Equipment==
===Life Fibre===
Yugen is a Four-Star Life Fibre Uniform that grants him a superhuman physicality, a passive regenerative healing factor, as well as a partial resistance to external energy. However, unlike most Uniforms, Adrian's Life Fibre Uniform also operates as a Jester, enabling him to utilize the martial arts of the Pirate potential. As an incredibly skilled martial artist, Adrian has constructed a variety of unique techniques and applications for each of the martial arts he has so far explored, currently demonstrating an absurd mastery of the Rokushiki, Hasshoken, and Fishman combat styles respectively.
====Rokushiki====
Rokushiki is a special superhuman martial arts style otherwise referred to as the Six Powers, and is a martial arts style fundamentally linked to Jokers who have awakened the occupational potential referred to as a Pirate. According to a proficient master of the style, those who master the Rokushiki are said to have the strength and domineering physical might of a hundred men, turning the user into a small army onto themselves if mastered correctly all on their lonesome. Adrian himself is considered to be extremely proficient in this style of combat, seemingly mastering each and every individual one of the six core and basic techniques, and developing them to create entirely new usages of their core principles, even combining them with attributes of his various Jesters, swordplay styles, and even other martial arts. Adrian's mastery of Rokushiki is such that his Doriki is immeasurable on most forms of testing; requiring world-class appraisers to get a quantified value of his strength as he seemingly demonstrates power to generate and even utilize the elements in combat.
Based on what is known of him, it would appear that each of Adrian's baseline techniques of Rokushiki are said to be as honed an as trained as those who have generated advanced variants of such a technique, and can even adapt the principles of the advanced techniques of others to seemingly imitate their additions to his martial art style, seemingly deconstructing these techniques derived from overcoming the limits of the human body itself. As singlehandedly one of the world's greatest masters of the Rokushiki style, Adrian's impressive aptitude in this martial art is considered to surpass even Jokers, even at times patronizingly giving Jokers he fights pointers in their attempt to overthrow him at his specialty. Adrian has managed to make each individual technique a stand-alone artform which can be combined with other arts if he so desires.
*Soru: The Kelman family are rumoured to have such a mastery of Soru that it is stated that without refinement, the slighest application of this technique could cause tremors in the earth. Widely considered to be the most fundamental of all of the six Rokushiki, Soru is a technique that seemingly allows an individual practitioner to move at tremendous, at times imperceivable speeds to both avoid attacks as well as attack at much greater speeds and with similarly enhanced levels of power. With the basic principle of this maneuver being the ability to kick off of the ground at the bare minimum of ten times in the blink of an eye, Adrian has demonstrated an immense prowess in this particular technique, seemingly being considered to have explosive levels of speed as a result, leaving behind an afterimage of his actual movements which can distract his opponents in battle which he has often used to his advantage. Unlike most, the Iron Fist's skill in this technique is such that the Adrian is known to travel immense distances in less than a second, and seemingly even fluently engage in combat when operating at the speed of his Soru, dramatically amplify both his movement and combat speed. In addition, Adrian's mastery of this particular technique is so immense that he has demonstrated the ability to isolate the technique to particular parts of his body, or instead apply the concept and principles of Soru to more than simply his legs, with his punches seemingly becoming imperceptibly fast, vastly faster than would be expected, and as a result firing off said punches and strikes with such strength, precision, and overwhelming speed that the result is extremely devastating. In fact, Adrian has demonstrated the ability to master this through his kicks as well and all other forms of strikes, seemingly referring to this particular application as Vanishing Strikes.
::*Soru: Missileman: By angling his body at precisely 45-degrees relative to his base plane of reference; Adrian is capable of utlizing Soru to kick off the ground with dramatic force; propelling himself throughout the air as if slingshot forward by an elastic floor at incredible speeds easily barelling through incoming projectiles; the sheer sudden updraft of wind around him causing a barrier of wind current to envelop the front of his body when actively accelerating. This technique in combination with Geppo seemingly enables Adrian to flawlessly replicate flight; demonstrating incredible aerial maneuvaribility in combat. By combining this technique with the principles of Tekkai Kenpou; Adrian is capable of effortlessly barelling through direct attacks and striking his opponents with his ridiculously hard body augmented by his own tremendous forward momentum:
::*Soru: Spinman: By extending his feet outwards from his body and kicking off the ground strategically, one foot at a time with Soru, Adrian has demonstrated the ability to spin at a near dizzying rate; summoning up powerful wind currents to clad his body in what would appear to be a miniature windstorm that he is easily capable of exiting at will. Kicking off on both feet to create a helical path; Adrian's speed seemingly summons up a vortex around his body due to the incredible centripetal force generated by his movement causing a similarly vast centripetal acceleration. Due to the sheer speed he moves at; the wind serves as a protective barrier against incoming attacks. Alternatively, Adrian is capable of creating these vortexes by spinning his hands through the principles of his Vanishing Strikes; though dramatically less potent than a fully body rotation.
::**Spinman: Tatsumaki: Street Fighter Hurricane Kick but a literal hurricane as well.
::*Soru: Wavejet Step: By leaping ever so slightly into the air; Adrian can accomplish what he refers to as "feetboarding", demonstrating the ability to immediately activate Soru in midair and cover the soles of his shoes/feet in his chi. Upon landing, Adrian focuses all of his weight into his legs; sliding across the ground as luminescent, coloured smoke is emitted from his feet; seemingly enabling him to slide almost frictionlessly across the ground for a greater burst of speed. In addition; due to not requiring actual running, Adrian can combine his conventional uses of Soru with this technique to seemingly accelerate to a blinding speed.
:*Soru Ougi: Art of Vibration: An advanced application of Soru that Adrian refers to as, merely "tapdancing", Adrian is capable of harnessing the power of Soru by tapping the ground in opposing directions almost instantaneously, being capable of doing this as he requires far less time than even the initial attempts to set up a Soru would regularly take, with each successive tap seemingly invoking the power of Soru before he can move anywhere at all, speaking volumes of his reaction time to even create this technique. As a result, Adrian can seemingly impose the ability to vibrate his own body at immense speeds, at times generating small tremors and seemingly allowing him to drill through particular objects, quite unlike quantum tunneling or phasing through walls, simply obliterating the object before him by quite simply touching it while moving this quickly, drilling through his opponent's defenses or his target. In addition, Adrian is capable of dramatically heating up his own body, resisting cold-based abilities by achieving thermal insulation. This also allows him to embrace the properties of Hashoken to a much greater degree, seemingly amplifying it with his inherent Hasshoken, while allowing him to harness the other powers of his Soru.
:*Soru Ougi: Hall of Mirrors: Another personalized technique derived from Soru, Adrian is capable of harnessing the power of Soru to generate what would appear to be multiple solid afterimages from the sheer speed granted by his variant of Soru that can serve multiple purposes, depending on whatever he desires at the current moment. For example, Adrian can generate speed mirages that appear to be completely solid, and seemingly simply vanish upon the moment the opponent makes physical contact with it, or utilize these afterimages to attack the opponent before suddenly dispersing, the combination of both seemingly throwing opponents off-guard by forcing them to defend at all times from various angles.
:*Soru Ougi: Explosive Movement: Adrian is capable of harnessing the power of his Soru to seemingly move through the air with such incredible speed that it displaces surrounding air particles, compressing and pressurizing the air around him at such a rapid pace that it appears to become superheated and change state, becoming raw luminescent plasma that can form a trail in his wake. Due to the sheer compression that occurs, the resulting shockwave caused by the subsequent re-equalization of air pressure results in massive explosions; that Adrian has demonstrated the ability to chain with physical attacks in order to deal devastating damage with each individual blow, or defend against incoming attacks by simply moving his body at such a pace that an explosion is "conjured" to defend it, deflecting particles around him and razing the ground beneath him. By moving quickly enough, Adrian is capable of additionally firing this superheated soup of air at his opponents as a by-product of his abilities.
*Geppo: Geppo is the second of the Six Powers to be learned by Adrian, and has been integrated seamlessly into his fighting style such that it can be activated instantaneously as if second nature. Being carried into the sky and held above the oceans as a child in order to learn how to take to the skies in the same vein as being forced to learn how to swim, Adrian has mastered Geppo ever since the age of 6.
**Geppo Ougi: Crane: A unique technique of the Kelman family, Crane revolves around a mindset more than physical capability, requiring one to demonstrate such mastery and intuitive aptitude over Geppo that they are capable of treating the air as if a solid surface, constantly and subconsciously being capable of using Geppo with absolutely any and all parts of their body such that they can walk on air and demonstrate complete three-dimensional movement, seemingly capable of treating different regions of the air as walls to scale up off of or flooring to fall onto, stopping him from ever hitting the ground directly as long as he desires to stay in the air.
**Geppo Ougi: Burst Strike: Push their attacks off the air themselves, hyperacclerating them and granting them greater force.

====Hasshoken====
Hasshoken, 
====Calypso====
Calypso, is Adrian's collective term for the Fishman martial arts of both Fishman Karate and Fishman Jujutsu.
===Jesters===
====Huang Loung====
Yellow Dragon is a unique Jester and heirloom that harnesses the power of two types of AIM in particular to activate itself, on one hand utilizing the AIM correlating to Jesters stemming from the Mage occupation, while on the other hand using the AIM related to the Shinobi potential that seemingly manifests itself as an ability rather than a physical item, with the only visible indication of it's activation being a shift in his eye colour to that of a golden amber. Through the use of this Jester, Adrian's body becomes a conduit for the power of the mythological Sacred Beast of the Nakiri Clan and fifth, central member of the Four Symbols constellation: Huang Long, the Yellow Dragon of the Earth. As a result, Adrian becomes a natural vessel for the natural spiritual flow of the world around him as well as the natural energies of the world around him stemming from the atmosphere and the terrain.
Adrian's body as a result is capable of collecting, absorbing, and generating the natural energy of the world.
As a result, Adrian appears to seemingly enter a unique, almost indefinite form of Sage Mode, achieving power in the realm of senjutsu. In addition, Adrian is in resonance with the spiritual flow of nature, allowing him to generate Touki by harnessing this flow, an analogous existence to magic, channeling this power to further supplement the immense superhuman physicality granted by Sage Mode. In addition, due to the nature of this flow, Adrian can impose this flow on magical attacks by striking them, seemingly allowing him to punch away magical spells that he simply should be incapable of otherwise. Adrian's Touki is known to be golden and manifests in an internalized fashion, meaning his body literally glows with the energy. With these two aspects combined, Adrian is known to be masterful in the utilization of chi, using it's power to heal others as well. In much a similar manner to the power of Dragons to tap into the ley lines of the Earth, Adrian as the Yellow Dragon is capable of tapping into veins of chi that flow throughout the land, allowing him to use this earth-based chi to strengthen his physical abilities to significant degrees. Adrian can also control the terrain to a limited degree, shifting opponents closer to him or to catch them off guard. The harmonization of the energies of Huang Loung, when combined with his own physical stamina and vitality is what Adrian refers to as his chi.
====Magatama====
The Yasakani no Magatama is a pendant given to Adrian by his mother that also operates as a Jester, seemingly acting as a seal that demonstrates the power to store up the energies he gains from acting as the vessel for the Yellow Dragon into his own body, that can be released with nothing but a mental command. Storing vast quantities of natural energy and Touki within the pendant, Adrian can release the energies within the pendant to seemingly supercharge his abilities as the conduit for Huang Long, tremendously overcharging every aspect of his Golden Dragon and seemingly acting as if he had activated the Jester a second time. As a result, Adrian appears to take on properties akin to having used two uses of Golden Dragon simultaneously, with the power of the second usage superimposing on the first and granting him capabilities he simply would not be able to attain otherwise.
