Let's Henshin!

Name: Adachihara “Kaz” Kazuma

Age: 24

Gender/Species: Human Male (Though there’s probably a bit of non Human-blood in there explaining his eyes and gravity defying hair)

Appearance:

It is unknown if Kaz could truly be called beautiful or handsome, for his face is far too often covered in bruises and bandages. Thus, whether Kaz could be handsome in any lifetime is unknown as swelling in one’s cheek is not a great determinant of beauty. That said, there are still quite a few things that can be said about his appearance. First and foremost is his height, at 196 cm, he stands tall. This height is accompanied by well toned muscles that can be seen whenever Kaz’s skin is exposed to the air. His black hair is casually swept back, and a single strand appears bright red and occasionally seems to glow. This same shade of red occasionally seems to flash in his normally brown eyes whenever his force powers start activating.

Kaz walks with his head held high, and an almost savage stance illustrating his boisterous nature. His eyes are constantly scanning others as he seeks to either dismiss them as too weak to fight, or appraise them as a potential target. Indeed, the resting half scowl on his face and overall demeanour grants him quite an intimidating aura that scares away most would be conversationalists. However while this swagger is normally the side of him at the forefront of his standard interactions, it has been known to become quite a bit more relaxed when dealing with puppies, kittens and children. But don’t tell the other Inquisitors this, not if you value your life.

Skills: Punching, kicking, fighting, punching, grappling, lightsaber-ing, was punching mentioned? Fact of the matter is, if there’s one thing that could truly define Kaz, it’s his natural tendency to fight. In many ways, fighting is the lifeblood of this inquisitor, and probably the only reason they keep him around. Of course his style isn’t the most refined, if it can even be called a style that is, he just focuses on pounding his enemy’s faces in. Everything about him is just pure, unbridled passion and aggression.

Outside of fighting, Kaz is surprisingly adept at acting, it’s odd but something about stepping into the shoes of another amuses him, although he somehow is still lacking in empathy unless someone puts it in terms of theatre. That said it’s not like the inquisitors put on many plays, so this skill is generally applied to the few times Kaz is ordered to be kind of discreet. In addition Kaz is superb pilot and driver, with his skills and passion being second only to his love of fighting. It’s only thanks to his skills as a pilot that the maniac is able to fly the ship he does.

Force Abilities: In terms of force abilities, Kaz’s powers lack in finesse. As such the more focused he is, the weaker his abilities tend to be, instead they tend to rely on power from his bouts of extreme emotions. That said he lacks much control over the abilities when in this state. The abilities he does have are limited in nature as well, he has minor electrical powers, which manifest more as electricity crackling off his body and weapons as opposed to shooting through the air. Expecting Kaz to electrocute someone is almost as bad as expecting him to pull off a force push. That said Kaz’s physicals also tend to be enhanced by his force abilities and throwing a lightsaber is another technique he’s become quite adept at.

Equipment: Kaz, having grown up with the Inquisitors, possesses little in the way of equipment. Obviously he possesses his lightsaber, and he does have a WESTAR-35 looted during one of his Jedi Hunts. That said Kaz prefers not to use his blaster in combat as it takes the joy away. Instead Kaz’s pistol is used more often for shooting far away objects as opposed to combatants.

Over the years Kaz has also come into possession of a few different vehicles he’s stashed away on the ship. The most prominent being a X-34 Landspeeder and 616-AvA Speederbike, both have been tuned to perfection and thanks to Kaz’s own skills as a pilot, are able to keep up with the newer, improved models.

Outside of his vehicles and two trusty weapons, the rest of Kaz’s equipment is simply whatever is lying around at the time.

Personality: Kaz is a man burning with passion. A passion that threatens to ignite all whom come near him. Indeed, Kaz can be quite aggressive and is rather quick to come to blows at even the slightest insult. As such, and especially thanks to a lack of tact, Kaz is often seen as rude. Often biting back at others with sharp insults borne of his dry humour. The madness flows through Kaz’s blood, filling him with a passion unequalled by ordinary humans. This hotblooded determination drives Kaz to succeed in whatever catches his fancy, unfortunately most of the time this just entails punching people. Repeatedly.

That said, while he may be irritable, aggressive, and quick to pound the face in of anyone that doesn’t show him the proper respect, he does have a few redeeming qualities. In particular he possesses a keen sense of honour towards both those that are under his care and those who have conquered him battle. For the the thrill of the fight deserves his full focus and no underhanded tactics shall be permitted. In addition, for his allies, Kaz possesses a strong degree of loyalty and will always fight for the really little guys, namely puppies, kittens and children that aren’t brats. Although again, you should probably refrain from telling others this if you value your life.

History: Kaz’s earliest memories exist with the Inquisitors. He’s not quite sure how, as he lacks any knowledge of his parents, but Kaz grew up in the loving arms of the inquisitors. And by loving, obviously he spent long hours being brutally trained to be another inquisitor. Yet, for some reason, the great being known as Kaz was not deterred by the painful force training he had to endure. If anything, he found himself surprisingly motivated. He saw every shock, every stab, as an initiation into combat, and the young child loved combat. His teachers were simply foes he sought to overcome. For many years though, he was obviously beaten down, time and time again.

It would be quite some time, before he conquered his first teacher.

When he wasn’t be brutally trained, which was most of the day, the young Kaz found himself escaping to a different section of the ship he called home. At the ships hangers, Kaz would be seen hanging around the maniacs that flew the Tie Interceptors. Obviously, as a fellow maniac, Kaz delighted in his conversations with them, and it wasn’t long before they started unofficially training him. While it wasn’t strictly protocol, the high command of the ship let things slide on behalf of the Inquisitors that felt the training might be useful.

Thus, even while his force training proved sporadic in its results, Kaz soon took the skies, well, spaces in an Interceptor. All things considered it was a miracle the young boy didn’t burn up in his first few flight attempts. For no matter how extensive his simulator training might have been, nothing compared to the ecstasy Kaz felt his first time truly flying. His first flight though gave many of the higher ups heart attacks as Kaz barely dodged asteroids and other pieces of space junk. Still Kaz did survive, and thus soon joined the other new recruits on dog fighting practices on a daily basis.

It wasn’t long after that a breakthrough finally explained the nature of his force powers. Barely a teenager, Kaz finally managed to defeat the low ranking Inquisitor that had been put in charge of his training. Simply put, Kaz’s abilities seemed directly tied to his emotional state, and on that particular day he had been feeling rather charged by the thrill of combat. Not to mention the maniacal nature of the Interceptor pilots had completely rubbed off on the young boy. Thus the bored Inquisitor was in for quite a surprise when the boy started crackling with Force Lightning.

After finally vanquishing his first foe, and in the process nailing down the nature of his powers, Kaz’s training began to progress quite rapidly. Not long after that, the teenage Inquisitor in training was sent off the ship on his first Jedi Hunt. Not only that, but he got to leave on the experimental Interceptor-Hunter affectionately dubbed: Hachi Roku. A maiden voyage and his first Jedi Hunt all tied into one nice simple package.

The hunt itself was uneventful all things considered. The Jedi tried his best to talk Kaz into seeing the Light, Kaz of course found himself only concerned with the joy he was experiencing in this thrilling fight. Thus any hope for a potential redemption was squandered by Kaz’s own madness. That said there was one teaching Kaz had picked up on, originally told that he was supposed the slaughter anyone else around the Jedi, the first bystander Kaz put his lightsaber through taught the young man an important lesson.

Killing the weak was boring

As a result, the young man developed his own sense of honour. Namely an aversion to fighting those that couldn’t fight back. Not to mention cheap, underhanded tactics in combat also felt worthless to Kaz. There was no thrill of combat if all he had to do was hold a hostage or throw sand in his opponent’s eyes. Suffice to say, Kaz failed at the second aspect of being an Inquisitor, namely the torture part, but his skill as a combatant and pilot quickly led to him being thrown around as a field agent and glorified commando.

Eventually, Kaz joined ISD Insight as an Inquisitor, and seeing as Costa hasn’t spaced him yet, he’s probably been useful.

Ship: TIE/IHU-86 or as Kaz likes to call it, the Hachi Roku. One of only a few models ever produced, this trusty ship has served as Kaz’s own since his first Jedi hunt. It’s design is based on the TIE Interceptor while incorporated elements of the Hunter. Aesthetically it resembles the Interceptor in attack mode, but like the Hunter it possesses S-Foils that let the wings fold flat for faster speeds. Much like the two ships it’s based off of, the Hachi Roku is blisteringly fast, which is in large part why it’s production was discontinued. Faster than both its predecessors, the Hachi Roku would be worthless in the hands of anyone but the best of pilots. Or the most insane. However as of result of its superior speed and agility, the Hachi Roku lacks in offensive power. It’s blaster shots are weaker than even the standard TIE Fighter and it possesses little in the way of armouring.
