## Overview

**Sagnim Mercuri** (*mercure*, Japanese pronunciation: [makuri]), born **⋔⟟⋏⎅⟒⎅**(メルキュール*meteor*), is a Ring-tailed Aryo-jin aryo-jin raised on Nephatis and an overall reoccurring character of the *Dragon Ball Burst* franchise. Mercuri is a direct relative of Taejin Jin. He is a fifteen-year-old orphan, Born in Age 776 in Maaka. From birth, Mercuri has had to fend for himself and survive solely on whatever game he could find, having been abandoned. Mercuri retained a diet of meat and large mushrooms, living in a ragedy home high in the trees within the wild rainforests. He is a stark contrast to many more established aryojin such as Hee-Jin Cetlali, who is an environmentalist that only eats fruits.

## Appearance

Mercuri has tribal features reminiscent of African and Indonesian traits. He has a tall, stocky frame characteristic of his ringtailed heritage, with caramel tan skin. His hair is a dusty blonde with some cream tones, and his eyes are strong and expressive. Mercuri has little sense of self care with an array of scars and scratches around his legs, ankles and torso. His clothing is usually torn or tattered.

Mercuri's sense of fashion is minimalistic, only wearing the same one tanktop and gi bottom outfit. He never wears shoes, nor does he wear any type of accessory.

## Personality

Mercuri is short-tempered, confrontational, abrasive and proud. He lacks any acknowledgement of authority. This often leads him into unnecessary trouble not only socially but in combat as well, since he tends to overestimate his abilities in comparison to who he's fighting and refuses to accept when he's been defeated, This constant distaste for authority and sense of anarchism can also cause Mercury to be very provocative, as he often tries to goad others, most prominently adults, into fighting him.

Mercuri possesses a rather vengeful side to his personality, especially when the people he cares about get harmed. Due to him having gropwn up in the wildernesss, Mercury has also been shown to possess little understanding of normal social interaction, yet contrary to this he is extremely intelligent for someone of his upbringing. Mercuri has an easy time reading, writing and comprehending. He also has an innate understanding of combat.

Mercuri has a natural knack for manipulating his ki. When he was born his power read 155,000, however within his first few years alone in the wilderness he adapted to gain a semi-progressive style of power. When introduced to Yoki, he waas capable of picking up and mastering the ability quickly. As opposed to the Mastery of his Ikari, he spent hours training for it that proved to be futile. Henceforth, Mercuri tantalized a technique specific to himself, wherein he uses his Yoki control to manipulate air in low quantities for creative purposes.

### **Martial Arts**

Mercuri uses a brash martial art called Yeouwonsungi, which he developed himself in the forest using trees and foliage as agility obstacles. Mercuri's ability to fight and defend himself is courtesy of having to hunt his food all his life. It has only been partially developed, but it's seen as being unpredictable, aggressive, acrobatic, fast, and strong. There are unusual feral, animalistic looking attacks. The footwork has the same traits.

#### ***Yeouwonsungi Techniques***
