Takēshi

Takēshi was born in Paris, France into the Moshi Family. Born as the 3rd son and the 4th child of the Moshi Family, (making him a prince). Born into royalty, he & his family grew up wealthy and they became used to having everything done for him. Takēshi was forced to grow up as a soldier due to his genetic modifications from his father who used to be a scientist for the Empire.

Takēshi is the third member of the crew and takes up the role of gaining intel. During his off time, he would spend time cooking food with his mother and even work with some of the chefs. Takēshi’s father Orceus Moshi, planned to genetically enhance all of his children before birth to make them have superhuman abilities and to reign superior over all humans. His dream is.. a work in progress...

He is one of the top three fighters of the Hoshikages, alongside Katsuo and Nishio.

He wears a black, frilled dress shirt as well as brown dress pants and black shoes, he keeps the collar of the shirt upturned and the first few buttons undone.  His outfit changes on a more frequent basis than most of his crew.

## Personality

Takēshi is a kind, calm, and collected young man. He speaks in a composed manner, and rarely acts without thinking unlike his “rambunctious” captains. Takēshi is shown to be quite aggressive to those he dislikes or opposes; or people that disrespect his friends. He has a polite, fun, bearable side to him as mentioned by his sisters. Takeshi is not afraid to show his emotions when the moment calls for it. He is entirely capable of crying or losing his temper, which results in him losing focus at times of battle. When not letting his temper get the best of him, Takēshi is shown to be very observant, easily reading the flow of battle before him and how best to react. Takēshi is more perceptive than he seems, and often lets people know the harsh truth instead of sugarcoating.

Takēshi loves to enjoy a relaxing cup of mint tea with miniature sugar cookies as he is mostly seen with this combo whenever the crew is having a snack. Takēshi is known to think one step ahead in most situations, which makes him extremely clever compared to most of his peers. His attitude towards fights is an interesting matter, he does not go looking for fights but will not avoid confrontation if he needs to. Takēshi is sometimes too confident in his skills & abilities, leading him to underestimating his opponents.

## **Abilities and Powers**

Takēshi has extraordinary superhuman strength, resiliency, speed, and agility due to years of arduous training. As the cook and chef of his crew, Takeshi is extremely valuable to his crewmates. While Katsuo will fight the strongest enemy, Takēshi and Nishio often end up fighting against enemies considered the second or third primary threat.

As a member of the famous and powerful Moshi Family, Takeshi was raised and trained from an early age alongside the rest of his siblings in warfare and combat. As a fetus, Takēshi underwent a surgery that manipulated his DNA and Bloodline Elements making him a modified human. As he grew up he was further experimented on as his body rejected the modifications and his development as a "super soldier" apparently failed. As a prince of the Mocha Kingdom, Takeshi has immense political and military power, though leaving this life behind to be a researcher on all types of different cultures and landmarks, he does not use these advantages.

### **Dancing Sky Art**

Takēshi has the ability to manipulate his kihaku energy so that he can levitate and/or fly. Takēshi learned to put his kihaku "underneath" himself, forcing it down similar to an engine.

### **High Intelligence**

Takēshi has been trained intensively in both fighting, cooking, covert ops, and deception since a young age. Turning him into a highly skilled fighter equipped with swift and powerful movements. Takēshi's as a tactical fighter is well-deserved, having been recognized as the crew's Military Advisor and Chief Strategist. He possesses a keen eye for spotting weaknesses and openings in his opponents' fighting styles, which he readily exploits whenever possible. His tactical prowess has been honed over years of experience and training, making him an essential member of the Hoshikages.

His ability to adapt to his opponent's fighting style and identify their weak points has been instrumental in many battles. Takēshi's keen attention to detail and quick thinking have allowed him to capitalize on his opponents' mistakes, earning him a reputation as one of the most formidable fighters in the crew.

### **Physical Abilities**

Takēshi is arguably the fastest member in the crew so far. His agility, reflexes, and speed are tremendous. Takēshi has moved so fast that he appeared to be disappearing and reappearing. Takēshi has immense physical strength, as he was capable of picking and carrying multiple grown adults twice his size. Takēshi dormant genetics granted him genetically enhanced physical might, gaining a massive increase to his previous level of strength that allows him to exert an overwhelming amount of force in his kicks with only moderate effort. Takēshi endurance and durability are immense. Combined with the years of extremely intense physical training, Takēshi’s body has become tremendously tough.

#### Genetic Modifications

Granting him a superhuman physical constitution and an exoskeleton that makes him nearly invulnerable, including an accelerated healing rate. Takeshi is also capable of regenerating internal organs and even other things such as blood cells. Due to his lineage modifications Takeshi gains the ability to ignite himself, and utilize flames from his body. Takēshi later develops the ability to electrify his legs. With this he later learns how to fuse his flames and his lightning together, when he summons this power -- he is left heavily exhausted afterwards.

When Takēshi intensifies his flames he will leave ash on the floor in the shape of whatever shoes he’s wearing. With his ignited legs he gains enough force in his kick to sever a limb, and with his kicks he can cause an explosion on contact. When he conjures his lightning instead of his fire, his jumping power and speed are greatly enhanced. With his mastery of the “Būkujutsu” technique, he can change the trajectory of kicks in mid-air. His modifications grant; enhanced physical strength, superhuman speed, enhanced durability, superhuman endurance, and enhanced resistances.
