Haruki Murakami

Haruki Murakami (春樹 村上 *Murakami Haruki*) is an abandoned man in which was brought to Port Mafia's attention after finding numerous reports of unnatural activity in several households of deceased parents. This led to them finding Haruki and in turn becoming his family. Haruki has a special and dangerous ability called **Wind-Up Bird**. So far, not many is alive after witnessing the ability.

## Appearance

Haruki appears to be a pale-skinned youthful man with dark blue, indigo hair, all messy and grown to neck length. He possesses ageless emerald eyes. However, his right eye is scarred and hidden under a dark eyepatch. Haruki occassionally wears the vestments of a dark green coat perfectly fitting his size and a purple scarf wrapped around his neck.

While he can prefer to use darker outfits for assassination. Due to his ability, he is confident enough to not use them at all as it does save up time for more slaughter and thrill in his taste. While the Port Mafia insisted that he should wear them, they eventually just abided with his wishes.

## Personality

Haruki looks up to his peers with a rather disgust. Due to his ability, he would pretty much climb up the ranks in no time if given special treatment and training to do so. However, he finds people that acknowledge him to be quite given the chance of deserving kindness for. He occassionally prides himself for becoming such a violent wepaon of destruction that his pride is overjoyed during his assassinations.

The young man is also perceived to be very sadistic and nonchalant when it comes to adults that he portrays are unworthy to exist. Due to having suffered from betrayal and parenting abuse, he have all rights to be mad and make it an ambition for himself, so that nobody else deserves to suffer the same fate as him. Although it will just be a different suffering for the victims altogether, he knows that it is not as worse as what he had to endure. Given by that, he is a sinful but righteous in response to it.

During his missions, he is always quick to respond to mostly anything. As his record of successful missions exceeds even the Boss himself. Due to how well he is doing, he has a practical reputation that gives him some fame inside the Mafia. While it is not always the case, the higher-ups rather hate him for his pridefulness and his substantial immorality to killing people, he sees this as only a race in which trust is not the answer, but by blood. It only gives a sinister vibe of Haruki and the ones higher in ranking.

## Ability

Haruki Murakami's ability, Wind-Up Bird (結末鳥 *Ketsumatsutori*) allows him to manifest an invisible field around his body. This invisible field has two layers around it. The outer layer is 10 meters away from Haruki, while the inner layer is 5 meters away. These layers can distribute the speed of an object or a person and use that for himself. The outer layer distributes 50% of one's speed, and that speed is instead returning to Haruki. This allows Haruki to both decelerate things and also increase his physical prowess with the given speed distributed, allowing him to become much faster than the naked eye depending on the motion of the speed itself. The inner layer distributes 30%, which then slows things even more, and Haruki becomes even faster in return.

This ability can be quite useful and offensive. As with the speed given, he can incapacitate foes without them knowing it, as well as decelerate bullets and attacks and evade them with minimal effort. For instance, fire attacks will become useless due to the field decelerating its motion of chemical bindings. Resulting in its extinguishing before it reaches Haruki. With the speed, kinetic energy is also very much increased. This will also be for weapons such as swords as well, allowing him to cut things at abnormal speeds once done so. The ability's weakness is unclear, but his speed will return to normal after a while after distributing someone's speed. As well will everyone be given their speed back when outside of Haruki's field, but the distributed speed will still stay until it automatically cancels out. Surprise attacks can also often work, as even though speed is distributed to him, he would not be able to know which he took speed off. Meaning that things can still exist in motion even if they are inside the field.

## Background

Haruki is defined as someone who had bad parenting. His family did not see their child as anything but a tool for their own selfish gains, using him to murder people so that he could find a place to stay. Apparently Haruki happened to possess great agility that would otherwise prove to have taken great training to achieve, and that helped him with escaping. However, Haruki was caught in the act as he was wanted and known, disarming him, and taking him off to the police station… Though he thought that his family would come and get him, they never did so. The officers were able to tell the mistreatment, acknowledging that the family were criminals. The officers would help the kid out and make him human, but all he could think of was the betrayal, after some time, Haruki had disappeared and went off to hunt for his family.

It would not be long until he would find them and put them off their misery. He have had enough after all, being used by someone, he wanted to do something on his violation, which led to him advancing his age hidden by society until he would be sought by the port mafia, Ernest was still very young at that day, he found some comfort in trusting them, as they shared his ideals with no trouble and ailment. He would start to grow as a person inside the faction, and thus grow his self-will and strengths.
