## Biography

### History

Pino had worked along side a women whom he had been in a relationship with as bacteriologists. He and his lover had been studying bacteria that could destroy cancer cells, with the goal of ridding the world of the terrible disease.

   Just as they were almost finished their research, a senior bacteriologist published the findings as his own, taking all of the credit for himself. Pino argued that this man had stolen their research, but his lover did not care about receiving credit for the life saving bacteria, instead happy that the world would be cancer free. Her only request being that it had not been tried on a human patient until it had been completed, which led to their superior lying once more saying he would not rush it.

Not long after the trials had began patients began dying to the unstable bacteria, which ate not only the cancer cells, but the entire body. The senior claimed that Pino's lover was responsible which led to her being shunned by her peers, an act resulting in her taking her own life. Pino made a promise to himself "I will destroy this world of lies". Becoming a fractured human whose body could harbor the bacteria that they made. Using his new powers to kill the superior and anyone else involved.

### Deader Land

Pino's first appeared on top of Deader Lands Castle with the other three Area Kings, Nomans Nomen , Chongirou Rabbit , and Iminashi Hoichi looking upon the guests whom had just arrived.

He next showed himself to Jagasaki and Bell while they were riding Deader Lands "Wonder Deader Buster: The Ride" an apparent 3D roller coaster ride, although he himself was very real. He began to guide the couple through the ride, giving a monologue as they progressed while standing on the back of their cart.

    Once the ride concludes Pino would congratulate a few of the other passengers on becoming fine 'demons'. Informing them that they now had permission to enter Deader Castle. It is at this point that Jagasaki realizes that Pino had been a Half-Fractured Human this entire time. At first acting surprised at Jagasaki's Jagaaan, although quickly revealing this to be a façade, killing both of the men he had just been speaking to by using his bacteria.

Jagasaki would proceed to shoot Pino in the head with his biological bullet, although Pino's bacteria prevented the attack from taking any affect. After a brief fight, Pino manages to knock Jagasaki out with one of his rocket clogs, tying him to the same cart he had been riding in prior. Bell being tied to the same set of tracks that Jagasaki would be in line to drive over.

Giving Jagasaki the option of either killing Bell or a group of five people, to which Jagasaki attempts to aim his gun at the Half-Fractured Human. Although Pino simply grabs ahold of his arm, using his bacteria to eat away at Jagasaki's fractured cells, causing his arm to to rot away and fall off at the elbow.

Suddenly Takemitsu Mikazuchi arrives smashing the cart saving Jagasaki. After grabbing ahold of Mikazuchi's throat, he would quickly realize that his bacteria had no effect on the Fractured Human Warrior. After sending off another roller coaster which kills the five people who had been tied to the tracks, Pino takes Bell hostage, threatening to kill her unless Jagasaki collects another 10,000 points and returns to the castle. At which point he would retreat with Bell in his arms.

Somewhere in Deader Castle, Pino introduces Bell to Nomans Nomen.

### Second Fight against Jagaan

    After Jagasaki and Mikazuchi finally arrive at the Castle, Pino is waiting for them along with Nomans Nomen. Proclaiming that power like theirs should join up with Deader Land. Although this only leads to another fight between himself and Jagasaki, as well as Nomen vs Mikazuchi.

During their fight Pino is sent flying into Tendou Yoshito while he and Ahri (Yadori) were speaking, killing him with no remorse. Preparing to kill Yadori for witnessing the act he charges towards the shapeshifting half-fractured human, only to be stopped by Jagasaki just in the nick of time.

By building up a substantial amount of his bacteria into a bomb, Pino once again forces Jagasaki to make a choice of saving Bell or the thousands of people whom are currently attending Deader Land. Although seeing that Jagasaki is still struggling with his options, the Tengu gives him one more option, to join them on the condition that they would revive his deceased girlfriend Yuriko Ishizaka. Instead Jagasaki amplifies his own abilities, swallowing Pino and his bomb up in a massive dragon formed from his own arms. This causes his bomb along with all the bacteria inside to disintegrate, defeating Pino. Just as Jagasaki was about to finish him off, Mikazuchi who had recently joined the D.D.L. would stab Jagasaki in the back saving Pino.

While still recovering from his burn wounds he had suffered from his previous battle with the Fractured Human Warrior, Pino would declare to both Nomen and Mikazuchi that he would be the one to kill Jagasaki.

### ​​​​​​​Third Fight against Jagaan

    After Jagasaki and Chiharu attack a banquet that Nomen and his gang had been hosting, Pino would surprise attack Jagasaki as the Fractured Human Warrior had been chasing Nomen and Mona down a hallway showcasing enhanced speed since their previous encounter. This would lead to yet another fight between the two Fractured Men with Pino seemingly gaining the upper hand, grabbing ahold of Jagasaki from behind and preparing to kill him. Giving him another two options. The first being a quick death and the second being to die a slow painful death over three days in the company of Bell. Although Jagasaki had been biding his time, growing out a massive pair of jaws which swallow both him and Pino up in one massive bite.

While locked within the creatures jaws and impaled by several of its teeth, Pino simply states that Jagasaki is stupid as he can't be killed by physical attacks as he tightens his grip on the Fractured Human Warrior. Calmly Jagasaki replies that he can still be killed by either the cold vacuum of space, or being burnt to a crisp by the sun as he rockets them into the sky with his monstrous construct. After a brief conversation the two men show a brief moment of mutual respect for one another before the creatures jaws open revealing the open sky, Pino choosing to be burned to a crisp as opposed to floating around frozen in space. With one last quip from the Tengu, Jagasaki would shoot him with a massive blast killing his masked foe.

## Powers and Abilities

### Death Bacteria

    Pino is able to grow a bacteria inside his body which is capable of destroying any organic matter he touches by inflicting the cells with necrosis and destroying the cells tissue. It does not appear that he needs to have an extended period of contact for his bacteria to have devastating results, as the bacteria he inflicts can then begin to reproduce within their new host, duplicating and eating until there is nothing left. While extremely effective against living beings, it would seem that his abilities have no effect against non-organic matter such as Mikazuchi's Carbon skin. The bacteria he produces also only seems to only be able to function properly within a moderate temperature and humidity, being exposed to sub zero temperatures or intense heat would cause the bacteria's replication to stop and the cells themselves to die off.

Through some method of using the bacteria within him Pino is completely invulnerable to physical attacks such as being impaled or cut as he can simply heal himself from the damage his flesh takes. It is unknown if he feels any pain from these attacks, although if he does he appears to have a significantly high pain tolerance as he brushes off any attack and can continue on in a calm fashion.

#### Bacteria Bomb

By gathering up a large amount of his bacteria into a specially designed bomb which can be loaded into a cannon and fired at unsuspecting victims. Upon detonation the bacteria would have the potential to wipe out all existing life within a 300m radius.

### Enhanced Speed, Strength, and Senses

Pino is able to react fast enough to catch Jagasaki's Dragon Jagaan between his hands and destroy it. Being able to outmaneuver Mikazuchi's sword strikes and being able to kick him back tens of feet after being hit by the sword. Combined with his rocket clogs, Pino showcases a great amount of mobility while in the air as he effortlessly dodges Jagasaki's sniper shots at a close range.

## Equipment

### Rocket Clogs

Pino has a pair of clogs with two rockets inside each of the shoes allowing him to use them to fly or use the clogs as projectiles.

### Tengu Mask

Pino's mask serves to both hide his identity as well as a useful tool. The nose portion of the mask being able to open and hold items within, such as a vial he had used to store a less potent strain of his bacteria. It is unknown how he operates this function as it seems to open on its own whenever he wanted it to.
