Chokuto Tsurugi is an AE86 Sprinter Trueno who hailed from Garmsby Village, Etheridge. He is one of three founders of the Etheridge Collective, the other two being his younger sisters; Kodachi Tsurugi and Makibishi Tsurugi. He is the oldest of the triplets and acts as a peacekeeper and protector of his family.

### Biography

Chokuto was born and raised along with his sisters in Garmsby Village, living a carefree life in the quaint village, each day a new challenge in the form of the mundane, such as helping with the family bakery, helping his sisters study, and train his abilities under the supervision of their grandmother, Tachi Tsurugi.

He, along with his younger sisters, were summoned to Naxera to take on the role as an adviser to Her Majesty and partner up with Zephyra as a contribution to the Kingdom of Etheridge. Unfortunately, neither of them could handle Chokuto's and his sisters' knack for bantering and childlike behavior even during their adolescent years. As such, when Her Majesty found new purpose in a suitor, she locked away his sisters; after he escaped, he sought out Zephyra and staged a jailbreak.

He was a major contributor in the fight for freedom, keeping soldiers well fed and even using his culinary combat to hold his own when his base camp was infiltrated, destroyed, and then getting kidnapped. Some say he still has the ramen he used to get out of his situation in his fridge back home to this day. After winning the war, Chokuto was the very first to return and give back Kodachi's memories after losing them in the final battle, leading to the founding of the Etheridge Collective.

### Personality

Intelligent, sensible, and cool headed, there's a reason why Chokuto is one of the leaders of his group. He takes on a diplomatic disposition when others around him may act emotionally, but don't take that to mean he's all logic and no emotion - he's chock full of emotion! You'll find that instead of being a stoic older brother, he is very sensitive to the needs of his siblings, child, and friends, and if his vehicular form wasn't red during such moments, he'd easily be confused with Kodachi.

Chokuto has a duality to his mindset. He tries to view a problem with logic, and yet follows his emotions as well, lending him plenty of opportunities to equally experience and avoid impulsive urges. All logic is thrown out of the window, however, when the safety of those closest to him are at stake. He has a rage that's equal to Zeph in strength, but unless his family is in danger, it takes a lot for him to fly into a rage, unlike Zeph and Kodachi who legitimately struggle to bite their tongues in a lot of situations.

Chokuto' culinary experience allow him to turn a mundane dish into a powerhouse of taste with a dash of the right spices and using the right flame for the job, as if he knows instinctively what a dish needs to flourish. That being said, his weapon is a frying pan that can cook and magically turn a kitchen tool into a weapon. Even his namesake Chokuto blade burns so much so, there's no way to tell if an enemy will be hurt more by his cutting edge experience, or his burning appetite for vengeance.

### Abilities and Weaponry

* **Culinary Mastery -** Finds a way to incorporate herbs, vegetables, and meat into a dish for maximum effect to fulfill your appetite and leave you wanting for more. He's actually made a few allies this way.
* **Enhanced Swordsmanship -** Thanks to having Zephyra as his mentor, Chokuto is highly versed in sword fighting. While he can't mow down an army, he can put down a group in no time

**- Chokuto blade** - his namesake sword he inherited from his family, made to be compatible with his magically enhanced frying pan

* **Dynamic Frying Pan -** Has notches on the side for a magically enhanced handle, only gaining a tool depending on the notch it enters. One such notch conjures the signature namesake blade, otherwise the frying pan can be used in melee combat or enlarged to be used as a shield or trap opponents in a vengeance of ramen, among other dishes.
* **Fire Manipulation -** It extends only to his namesake sword, but he can burn an unexpecting opponent with his flame coated sword. His Pyrokinesis also manifests as a higher body temperature, which used in non-combat situations, can be used to keep another person warm and be used for cooking without an external flame (if you're okay with using his back as a cooking surface when he's reading, of course)
* **Food Healing** - While he can't heal physical damage with this ability, he's able to mend a broken heart.
* **Quantum computer -** A state of the art government provided quantum laptop setup directed to be kept top secret at all times. While Chokuto never worked for the government, his family possessed the right connections to make as many tools to winning the rebellion available. He's used this computer to update Badges magically, manipulate how Kodachi gave birth to Renka (translating his DNA to computer data, then transforming the entire structure into an egg he hatched from given that his sister is infertile), and perform other reality altering feats.
* **Temporal Manipulation/Healing** - Used to stop time in the middle of a fight, reverse time on a battlefield level to redo an attack or an evasion, and can heal a wide variety of wounds with localized temporal magic.

### Trivia

* He's the eldest to a mixed set of triplets, meaning his younger sisters were born identical while Chokuto is fraternal.
* He prefers his human-like form more than his vehicular form.
* Aside from Lumi, he's the only other one able to withstand Zephyra's rage when she's faced with injustice.
* Chokuto's AE86 form is identical to that of his sister's, Kodachi; however, they share little similarities between each other in humanlike forms.
