Yatsuke Taro

Yatsuke Taro is a Rufu Beater character created by Mewatic.
== Information ==
Yatsuke Taro, a fairly young adult male (24 years of age) with roots to both Japan and America. Born in Japan, his mother had high expectations for his future, so she set in strict education methods since his childhood. His Californian father was usually away in his homeland for business practices, so he almost never sees him. As time passed, he grew accustomed to this style of education from both his mother and school, but he was usually looking hollow - as if dead inside, which is the result of unreasonable amounts of burden to his name stated beforehand. He grew more and more irritable with the years that pass, which would later on show more prominently as an angsty attitude towards others around him.
He picked up the hobby of baseball and skateboarding from his time in 6th-8th grade, as the result of an influence from his past accomplices. It was one of the only things that riled him in the world.
He wanted to study engineering. So he did. At age 21, he managed to graduate from the University of Tokyo. It was nice, but something felt like it was missing. Like Yatsuke was yearning for something more. What could it have been, though? Ever since childhood, he was prohibited to do anything else other than study and human necessities. He was very much familiar with the likes of engineering, but he had never gone to see what the world was truly like. He never had time to study history. Philosophy felt like bygones. Regular things a human would aspire to witness, ruled out, simply because of tradition. For him, it was unfair. He had felt isolated for so long... so long, that the vase had finally burst, as that deep realization sunk in Yatsukes mind, he came face to face with reality: he was nothing more than a cog for his bloodline.
So he snapped.
In an outrage, he blindly murdered his mother figure, with that very same baseball bat he used during his 6th grade days. He wanted to break free from the ancestral shackles that binded his being, spanning out in decades, but instead of settling down and dealing with his mothers disappointment, he let the amoral, raging side of him get the better of him... which caused him to take the life of the one who raised him. This turn to a life of crime was so spontaneous, he panicked; he took an old mask and wore it on his face, and ran from home. He ran. He ran... and ran... until he stumbled upon a figure with a peculiar outfit. "Are you... yakuza?", Yatsuke asked, to which the latter responded with an affirmation. Having nowhere else to go and deep in desperation, he begged the man to let him join the Yakuza. He was aware of who they were, and since he did what he had done... there was no choice.
He was let in, although reluctantly as he was nothing more than a stranger, however more recruits are welcome. One week passes. He honorably works for the Yakuza to climb through the ranks. One year passes, he grows accustomed to the lifestyle of the Yakuza, and his name is spread out, even if its by a minimal amount. Three years pass, his masked, faceless persona is recognized as the local engineer for the Yakuza, being the one in charge behind repairs and the like. He was usually never around for jobs that would dirty your hands, but when he was... he'd rage on, just like before.
==Appearance==
Yatsuke has short, black hair and a camo paintball mask on his face. He wears the usual Yakuza outfit. He carries a skateboard and a baseball bat.
==Personality==
Yatsuke is mostly impatient, often jumping to conclusions and lunging into fights. He has a snappy attitude to others, but willingly tries to protect his allies in order to get the job done quicker. 
When he lets into his negative emotions, he would display psychopathic tendencies - usually breaking out in an unhinged state when angered to his boiling point.
