Koa Chitsuki

*"It felt like those earlier years went by both quickly and slowly. I am not so sure how to say this, but, it felt very much like watching white walls with your head full of blurry thoughts. What kind of comparison is that? Here, I'll be completely transparent. I cannot recall who I used to be. The bonds of my former self have been shattered. I do not recognize the person I used to be, who had no intention of ever harming even a single fly. I have no idea how long this time of clarity will last. Maybe a few more minutes. Maybe a few hours. Maybe a few days. Maybe weeks. Maybe months. Maybe even years. Maybe not. I think, the shorter this period lasts, the better. My confusion is so damn thick that I am about to forget forgetting. For most of my life, I have felt so utterly cut off from the world. Gazing upon them all, they all feel alien. Looking at anything feels strange. I would have given anything to have died that day, like a real person, along with all the other victims of the same destiny. My existence is a miserable miracle in general. Something that even I find difficult to comprehend. I can't understand. Not at all. Even though everything was entirely within my control, it almost feels as though I have been compelled to carry out these abhorrent acts of savagery and brutality. Did I think shooting a man in broad daylight was the right thing to do? A man who needed to provide for and look after his family? On his fourth finger, I noticed a ring. When those defenseless men, women, and kids cried out to me, bawling in desperation and ripping out their own eyes to block out the world, did I really think it was okay to do what I was doing, "defending" myself by painting the pavement crimson with whatever was inside of them? Did I see it as the right thing to do when I took hundreds, thousands, maybe even more lives without any shame? Hell, I have even lost count. Like a scared animal, I was doing everything in my inhuman power to protect myself. I still am, too. Maybe I did see these crimes against humanity as the right things to do. I was afraid. I have always been afraid. Anyone who has had the miraculous fucking opportunity to read this meaningless, cockled piece of paper written by a total piece of shit who is worthy of no place in this green earth; I want to tell you that I am sorry. Sorry for being alive and here."*

Koa Chitsuki is the main protagonist of Damnation's Blossom.

## Appearance [WIP]

In his childhood, Koa is mentioned to be "downright enchanting." Characters have often pointed out his adorability.

Koa's first relevant appearance takes the form of a young Caucasian-Asian man/boy of thin build. He stands at an average to above-average height, approximately 6 foot. His skin is moist, giving it a glowing look, and warm ivory in color. His eyes are upward slanted and slender, occasionally described as "piercing" and "feline-like" by other characters. His irises keep a vivid amber/honey gold tint throughout the whole story, a set of slim black eyebrows acting to frame them from above along with spiky lashes. His youthful facial features, along with his button nose and slightly wavy nasal bone, give him a subtle, innocent appearance. His lips are rosy and Cupid's Bow-shaped. He is occasionally described as "exceptionally attractive" in relation to the attractiveness of his face. Before the terrorist attack in the Tokyo Metro, his hair, which covered most of his forehead and the sides of his face, was layered, copper brown and styled in an untidy middle part that reached his ears. His hair has dark roots that reach about nine millimeters into each individual hair strand. His complexion was considerably cleaner and brighter in color, and his hair had a lot more polished, fluffy appearance due to his regular maintenance of his hygiene before to the incident.

During his school days, he typically wore an untidy school attire, consisting of a close-fitting, white collared shirt, a cheap pair of black cotton slacks, and dark brown sneakers. He wore a loose, plain sweater in a light red color over the shirt, the ends of the shirt protruding from beneath the sweater's hem. On the first day of high school, the left knee was torn, and the leg openings of the pants were wide. Koa did not mend the pants' ripped knee. Most of the time he also wore a vintage pair of rectangular glasses without rims. The glasses featured a single bridge, thin lenses, and nose pads. The temples were black at the tips, and their color was pale gold. A small, black cross earring accompanied his right earlobe, short and tenuous chains connecting the tip of the cross to it. Yukiko claims that he looks like an "artistically inclined high school student."

### Post Sariya Bomba attack, Tokyo Subway

Numerous changes are added to his physical appearance after the incident. He loses a great deal of weight, his hair grows out significantly, and it takes on a distinctly grungy/unruly appearance during his nearly one-year coma. The texture is mentioned to have become rough and reflective because of the oil buildup. It is similar in style to a shag haircut, dropping down to shoulder level in length. Koa parts his bangs, frequently repositioning them behind his ears, because they cover most of his face. Brief mention is made of his eyes, stating that they are set deeper in his eye sockets and that his eyelids are becoming darkened, much like makeup. His facial features have also slimmed down as a result of the weight loss. For instance, his cheekbones become hollow and his jawline becomes much more noticeable. A large, dark piece of pointed shrapnel with an uneven surface is embedded deep in the top left side of his cranium, right below his hairline, sticking out. His doctor, Iyashi Yua has made a comment about the shrapnel in his skull, claiming that it almost resembles a horn. His body is largely covered in gory, black stitches of all sizes and shapes, but the most noticeable ones are on his face, where a straight, horizontal stitch crosses his nose and ends at his cheekbones, a half-circle-shaped one on his right cheek and another horizontal line of threads running across his forehead, along with a few more smaller, less prominent ones scattered throughout his face.

In his hospital stay, he wears a solid white patient gown and white terry slippers. Having failed to move on from the traumatic event, Koa has kept a purely blank expression on his face. His gaze becomes totally unfocused.

### Post American Airstrikes against Japan

Following the American bombings on Japan, the majority of Tokyo, and particularly Edogawa, is destroyed, including the hospital where he stays. The healing process of his body as a whole, including the partial regeneration of missing bodily parts, takes roughly four months. His limbs, head, neck, and other bodily parts are reattached by veins of varying widths and lengths, which are mostly seen in the joints and sticking out from surrounding tissues, even skin. He loses the shrapnel in his head, leaving a scar that is highly visible. His skin becomes much more pale and lifeless, and it is observed by Koa that it has changed to a light gray color with faintly warm overtones as a result of his body hardening and thickening in order to become resistant to explosives. Wrinkles appear around his eyes, giving them a tired look. His destroyed hair grows back surprisingly quickly into an unkempt shape alike to a rounded bob, covering almost all of his head. His canine teeth grows unusually longer and sharper, much like fangs. Mentioned youthful features are gone, replaced by more masculine attributes.

He steals the clothes of Buer after killing him. His attire is then almost militaristic, consisting of a light green parka jacket, a wool, dull green tactical turtleneck, blackish brown wool pants and fully jet black tactical boots.

The parka jacket is mentioned to have been made of wool like the other pieces, featuring two cargo pockets on each side at the front, a large hood with faux fur and thick drawstrings, slanted zipper pockets on each breast, and linear sewings on the inner arms, shoulders, and around the waist. It has a turtleneck-style zipper that reaches up to his neck, four black buttons on the front, and two buttons on each wrist. "It was just long enough to hide his rear end."

## Personality and Personality Traits [WIP]

Koa throughout the full story has shown to be an **ill-fated** **intellectual** with **inherent asociality, apathy and a general dislike of people**. On the surface, he appears incredibly **calm, easy-going and reasonable**, being approached and conversated with many times by the students of his school. He uses "fancy and meaningful" words in the course of his speeches, consistently trying his best to remain verbally respectful and well-mannered.

To one's surprise, he may express his dislike of people and things through his body language instead, such as gesturing his classmates with his hands aggressively to keep their distance, watch their tone, etc. when conversing with him. While not overtly hostile, he exhibits a noticeable reluctance to accept, associate with, or understand others. This isn't because he thinks others are beneath him; rather because he prefers to avoid things he can't grasp, which unsurprisingly includes other people. Being aware that he, like everyone else, is unable to read the thoughts of others, he reveals a disturbingly paranoid side of him about what people will think of him, how he looks, how he comes across to them, and other things. In times like these, Koa's expression subconsciously turns thoroughly blank, similar to that of a Thousand Yard Stare. Following those exchanges, he has a tendency to overanalyze the other person and the conversation he had with them, as evidenced by his constant attempts to comprehend and analyze her in every conversation with Yukiko, a student from his school who is secretly romantically interested in him.

When he fails to comprehend ones intentions, thoughts and motives, Koa becomes quite frustrated. He is shown to be in perpetual doubt about the purpose of everything in his environment, including seemingly simple topics like why clouds move and why people make such a persistent effort to socialize with one another. Due to his tendency to get lost in his own thoughts and lack of awareness of his surroundings, Koa often finds himself in comical situations such as running head first into a brick wall, tripping over his own foot, and even losing his balance on level surfaces. Anxiety can sometimes make him act dreadfully aggressive, irritable and erratic; he has even threatened to "shoot daylight through" Yukiko, who he befriends shortly after starting high school, claiming that she has "gone too far" in her inquiries about his family and mental health. Koa displays a dismissive, cold behavior to his father and especially his mother, Nao, despite her obvious desire to show a strong maternal love to her son, even though he very much loves both of them.

For example, Koa's face nearly instantly twisted in disgust and horror when Nao gave him a surprise embrace when he got home from school, but he quickly wiped the nasty expression off his face since he knows he can't treat his own mother with such contempt. This, however, also applies to encounters with other people; when a female tourist tapped him on the shoulder to ask for directions during a walk back home, he unwittingly displayed a visible level of revulsion and anxiety that shocked the woman while he was providing the requested directions. This could possibly mean Koa has haphephobia, as the distress he experiences after being physically interacted with clearly points it out.

Koa repeatedly shows signs of being a hypochondriac. When turning the corner which leads to his home, a drunk hobo bumps into Koa and in response to this; Koa rushes back home in a frenzy after having observed the man's appearance, immediately assuming that he is "disease ridden," repeating the words "filthy damn rat" almost in a similar fashion to how one with palilalia would behave and desperately washing himself and his outfit, to the point of completely drying out his skin, damaging his hair and the fabric of his clothing.

In "Soundless Days," there is a bit more insight into Koa's personality. While roaming Edogawa, pretty much without a destination, he makes an out-of-the-blue decision to buy newspapers, which he does. He heads somewhere quiet and starts reading them, one by one. The news that have caught his eye spoke of the economical stagnation of the country (as usual), **North Kanto Serial Kidnapping and Murder Case,** **an arising heat between Germany, China, Soviet Union, U.S. and Japan**. Koa reads right over this, having become used to his nation's already pitiful economic state, and proceeds to see where the serial kidnappings are mentioned. Koa ponders on all he has read in the newspaper for a while. Koa becomes extremely queasy at the mere thought of several young girls being abducted. His feelings of disgust and horror grow as he considers the situations further. The perpetrator(s) have only kidnapped young girls between the ages of four and eight, and the implications of this totally horrifies him. Given that the females who were abducted were young girls, he presumes that a scenario of serial rape is most certainly occurring behind closed doors. He considers how he himself would feel if he was a victim of such a crime. He even says to himself that he would rather be hanged than be kidnapped, and likely, sexually assaulted. The intentions those people may have had fail to leave his head for multiple days. The crimes in question succeed to get very strong reactions from the usually calm and collected persona of him. Koa wishes the worst of the worst upon those "subhumans," as he refers to them. He then discusses the ongoing dispute between the previously named nations, the newspapers suggesting that Japan will probably be part of any war that is being planned by the United States, China, Russia, Germany, and other neighboring nations. He says that peace would be far better for the world and questions why there are even conflicts in the first place, making a connection between this and people's greed, and those opinions make him stand out as a more peace-oriented and compassionate yet somewhat cynical kind of person. Thinking more about these cases, he starts to grow disgusted of society, forecasting a huge change in his personality soon to be marked.

##### Smaller characteristics:

Koa is likely a victim of DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), dementia and similar mental diseases/disorders.

He has shown a preference in brown wardrobes.

**Yakitori** is indispensable to him.

## Supernatural Abilities [WIP]

"Has it not dawned on you yet, child? Your body is the pinnacle of perfection. Always has been. A man who went by the name of Charles Darwin, in the realm of the living, has even made a comment about this; "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." And you, child, have been adapting perennially. Indeed, you lack intelligence and have loose screws. But in the entire cosmos, if there is one dominant life form, it is **you**. Something that no one else is worthy of is yours. Something priceless. They have been hunting you down, because they fail to comprehend you. It is precisely because of your full alienation from them that they are reacting with fear and hostility. The fear of the unknown is what motivates them. Ironic, isn't it?"

-Lucifer

Hyper Adaptability

Situational Strength & Speed
He was able to completely rip out the axial skeleton of an adult human male, tear off jaws and crush skulls with one arm, pull apart the limbs of multiple adult males, tear out hearts by punching through the ribcage, and fully impale an abdomen and the lumbar vertebrae of a spine using only his arm. Such accomplishments would put his base striking strength somewhere between 1000 and 2000 PSI, if not more, and his lifting/pulling strength anywhere between 4000-5000 newtons or higher.
At his peak in the physical world, he was able to strike a skyscraper with enough strength to cause it to collapse, turn the entire body of a cybernetically augmented amalgamation of Verriers into mush with a single punch and achieve other similar feats of destruction, which would mean his peak striking strength is 10,000+ tons, excluding the speed factor. He was also able to lift Blair by the leg who weighs 873.5 kilograms (1925.7 lbs) thanks to his controlled mutation, slam him into the ground and create an imprint of his entire body. The impact also caused an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude in the region.
At his base, he moves at approximately subsonic speeds. He was capable of dodging gunfire from a **Howa Type 89** and other guns to a certain degree, kill several trained police and military officers before they could react, cut an 11mm caliber bullet in half using a combat knife right before it could make contact with his skin, run with enough speed to close a distance of roughly 63 meters within below 10 seconds, dash and jump several times mid-air which would require him to kick the air extremely hard; the air refracts outwards, and he shoots in the desired direction from opposite forces, and achieve similar feats. At his peak in the physical world, he was able to fight on equal terms with Gavriil who had triggered his vivisium symbiosis, granting him enough speed to process thousands of complex information and react within yoctoseconds and move at relativistic speeds (43,56% of speed of light) maximum.
