## Appearance

His right pupil is a red circle with a black dot in the middle, and his iris is also black; while his left eye has a red iris and a white cross-shaped pupil. He normally carries a gloomy facial expression. His outfit consists of a white t-shirt with a black vest over it, a dark-blue kimono upper-garment that he only wears on his left arm, and uniform trousers that he tucks into his black boots.

## Personality

Taketsuku is a very stern and reserved man who has a dark yet lighthearted view on the world around him. He is primarily motivated by logic and does not believe in using verbal communication to get his point across something or filter his words or ideas for others. He often comes off as cold, apathetic, and impatient, exerting very little energy in most situations, preferring to use physical violence instead but usually keeps to himself in most situations unless he is needed.

As the most power fire mage, Taketsuku fights with ferocity, and often extreme cruelty, rarely fighting to kill unless instructed to, fighting his foes until his target has been completely disabled and humiliated. However, he does have some sense of humanity in him, as he is still capable of displaying empathy and showing affection for those who are dear to him, an example being when he lost his wife due to unknown circumstances and was highly attentive to his only daughter Megumi. As he is essentially unemotional and invulnerable to those who encounter him on the surface, Taketsuku can be egotistical but on a humble level.

As a utilitarian, Takestuku will take any means in order to achieve his goals. However, though his actions do put his loved ones in harm’s way, he continues to show love and genuine concern for them. This is demonstrated when he escaped the Heart Kingdom with his daughter Megumi when she was a toddler to ensure a better life for her; in doing so, Takutsuku, a year later left Megumi behind in the hands of a trusted friend to look after her as he went to join the White Brigade knowing how heart wrenching it was for him, though he does not like to show much emotion, he shed tears upon leaving his only daughter behind.
