» Personality:
Intelligence: Austyn is extremely intelligent.. When it comes to common sense. He's not very smart, really, but he can deduce a large amount of facts just from his surroundings and what he knows of his opponent. Of course, with his temper, this trait often gets thrown out the window… but it is still there.

Bloodlust: Austyn has what you might call an abnormal amount of bloodlust. In fact, if one were to measure it, they would say he has nearly 800 years of stocked up bloodlust in his mind. However, he has a minute amount of control over it; to his family he remains normal, to friends just a bit hot-headed. But to his enemies… he is a monster. Once, in a gang fight, he ripped off an allies arm, his eyes wide and alert as he used it to beat three members of the enemy group into submission, then forcing them to slit their own throats while he watched, then moving in and tearing their dead bodies to pieces while the other gathered members watched, horrified as the blood splattered all over him and he, laughing.

Hot Headed: Austyn is a hot head. He often rushes into things without thinking, and is extremely reactive. He typically only looks after himself; although he also looks out for his family if he has to. Most of the time, though, he'll start fights without warning, cuss someone out over the slightest criticism, and go into battle with little thinking of what will happen to himself.

Lousy Assassin: He is also an Assassin by trade. However, Austyn rather sucks at his job, which is one reason he doesn't like it. Yes, he is very good at killing people. However, he is much too rash to employ the delicate precision the profession requires, so while he is in fact able to perform all the actions of an assassin, he absolutely LOATHES to be made to.

Family Man: When his brother died, Austyn moved back to the local Tanaka residence. Specifically, living in the dumpster outside behind it. He wouldn't sleep under that roof if you paid him; but he knows his family is in trouble and is so helping them. He loves his family and would protect them to the death, or even beyond death if he thought he could. He has an almost fatherly nature to himself when he's dealing with his family, acting much more mature than he normally is about some things, and then turn into his normal goofy, hot headed self most of the time.

Padre: Austyn is TERRIFIED of his father. He turns into a meek little boy when addressed by him, regardless of what he is doing. Of course he would fight for the old man until he died if he thought he was in danger; but most of the time just the sight of him makes Austyn want to crap himself from fear. His father is the reason he left the house as soon as he could; he just didn't want to deal with that "old fart" as he calls him.

Street Knowledge: He can handle himself on the streets very well as well, being something like a gang mercenary. He never sticks with any one group for very long, the one exception being family; but even they he will sometimes leave for a few days to clear his head. He is most comfortable in cities and in chaotic areas, like ski resorts. He is, as he calls himself, "A Cut Above the Rest" when it comes to working the streets. He also knows how to elude the police and law enforcement like the plague, and interestingly is not within the Yuudeshi Network's files.

Death: Austyn does not want to die. He will always fight for his own survival above almost everything else; the one exception being family. He is in actuality a bit paranoid about his acquaintances and those he meets, although he himself does not realize this; as most of the time this trait is overshadowed by his temper.

Chainsaws: Austyn loves chainsaws. They are his weapon of choice when offered to choose his weapon of choice, and instantly admires anyone who uses a chainsaw. He himself is extremely skilled in their use, felling trees in seconds each with one and able to wield one as effectively as a samurai would their sword.

Hugs: He also has one more strange reaction; this is his reaction to hugs and being hugged. Whenever someone hugs him, he instantly freezes up, unable to move as a kind of defense mechanism and his stunned brain just says WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF (literally, the three letters W T and F in that order) until they stop, which he then eventually recovers from, although he doesn't remember them hugging him or anything that happened while they were doing so.

Ambidextrous: This is one of the unique traits that he gets from his training as an assassin; his mind is trained to treat his right and left hands as one, and as such each one is his dominant hand. This is useful in a variety of situations, since it allows him to do two things at once with a great amount of precision.

Rough and Tumble: His manner of speech, as well as his behavioral actions, are very rough and tumble. He has a long, low laugh that he reserves for when he's excited, going "WEE-HAHAHA!" whenever he starts a fight or communication in general while excited. Which e tends to be quite frequently.


» Likes: His family, chainsaws, earrings, being tough.

» Dislikes: His father, swords, scientists.

» Background:

Austyn was born completely human. There was not a single augment on his body at birth; he was not cut up in any place whatsoever. The only strange thing about Austyn was his hair. On his right side he had three almost knife looking clumps of hair that stuck out from his head, off for a toddler; but he also grew three clumps that grew very long in the front of his face. These were pointed strands, and the middle one always looked like it had a split down it.

However, his father did not like it. He knew it would make his first born son stand out, and thus repeatedly tried cutting them off. However, his very hair defied his father from the moment he was born; regrowing itself in a day whenever it got cut. It was ludicrous, and caused Austyn to develop a massive appetite as he grew older. His favorite kind of food was the spicy ones; he would often lose his ability to taste some foods because he would burn them out.

Growing up was difficult for Austyn. He was naturally hyperactive, wanting to not sit still and learn the many things his father wanted him to. As such, he made his first major mistake in regards to his father, when he stole his father's sword in order to try to wield it. He failed miserably, nearly cutting his baby brother's head off while trying to show it to him. After this fiasco, his father snapped. He loved his son, but this was just too far; he took away Austyn's birthright in his fury, giving it instead to his younger brother and telling Austyn that he would be trained in the art of a lowly assassin.

At first, Austyn embraced this change wholeheartedly. He had, from what he could tell, just been freed of the life of torment. Little did he know that his father had fully intended this as a punishment, and would see to it that this was so. After all, who knew more about a son than his father? So he had Austyn trained, and often personally oversaw his training. After all, Austyn was his first born son, and even without his birthright he still represented their family.

Austyn came to hate his occupation with a passion. He excelled in all the training exercises he was made to do; however when it came to any practical application he failed miserably. He became very strong and very alert; but he could not have assassinated the morale of the employees of a large business if he wanted to. He was greatly exhausted of this lifestyle, and wanted to be something more; but his father would not hear of it and held general disdain towards his eldest. Of course, he still loved him; but that didn't mean he liked him. And Austyn was the same way towards his father.

Over time, Austyn came up with a plan. On his sixteenth birthday, an idea occurred to him. He could assassinate the father of his younger brother's to-be; the old man often came by their house and made threats, and it annoyed Austyn that his father would do nothing about it. He planned the attack out meticulously, putting his very best work into it and practicing what he would do multiple times…

The whole thing was a fiasco and a failure. Austyn not only had the manor's security after him, but also several police dogs and even an attack helicopter. He had been detected after having snooped somewhere in the ventilation shaft and stopped too early, looking down on his brother's to-be wife and telling her that he was pretty sure his brother wouldn't approve of that underwear she was trying on.

So he ended up at the county jail, where his father came to pay the bail for him. However, that was not all that his father did; he did not take Austyn back home. He told his son that what was being used as bail was to be his inheritance money, as to his father, he wanted to be all but dead to Austyn. Austyn was allowed to get his things back at the house, and after saying a heartfelt goodbye and hug to his brother, left the Tanaka household, in his mind, forever.

He quickly found a way to earn money; by working in the criminal underworld as a mercenary. He wasn't the most loyal, true, but he was indeed the most skilled. In a gang fight he could take out ten to fifteen rival members in a few moments; he could place an entire household under siege. Eighteen now, he made his first screw-up; accepting a stealth job. He was supposed to obtain some new tech, something that would make his clients the most powerful in the city…

The whole thing was a fiasco and a failure. Not only did the scientist leader of the team that created the technology catch him, but he imprisoned him and then proceeded to test on him. He began something he called Soul Research on the young Austyn, messing with his "soul" somehow. Eventually, the Doc screwed up; he chose to bind the essence of a chainsaw to Austyn's soul.

The procedure harmed him beyond all belief. The sheer amounts of pain he underwent was like hundreds of chainsaws going through his body all at once; but he just couldn't die. His soul was strong, very strong, and forced the essence to adapt to it and assimilating it to itself. When he awoke in his cell, Austyn's mind was barely functioning and he could only see red. So much red.

He went on a rampage, cutting his cell into pieces before going into the lab and soon doing the same thing. He wrecked the living hell out of it; destroying every little bit of their research that he possibly could. In addition, there was not a single patch of skin of a scientist left in that lab bigger than an inch in size. Finally, as he left the flaming lab, Austyn began to calm down. However, the insane amount of bloodlust never quite left him; becoming a part of his character.

The years dragged on, but Austyn barely aged. He often corresponded with his brother, at least once a year in which Austyn calmed down, writing down everything important to him and communicating it to his brother. (He learned from a letter five years later that yes, he had been right about the underwear, much to his eternal amusement that she had taken his advice). He kept the goriest details of his "surgery" from his brother, instead saying that he had been put into a hospital with a coma. As such, his brother never knew what a monster he had become before he stopped sending his letters.

Two years after Austyn did not receive his brothers sacred, and often secret, postage, he finally snapped. Still looking about twenty, he finally went to check up on his brother and his "beautiful" daughter. However, as the first thing that he encountered when he arrived at the Tanaka residence again was his own father watering the garden, Austyn ducked as fast as he inhumanly could behind a bush.

The whole thing was a fiasco and a failure. His father quickly found him, picking up his eldest son by the back of his fluffy winter jacket and carrying him inside, his son wearing a look of shame. His father merely sighed as he then proceeded to explain to Austyn everything that had happened since his leave, and about his brother's death. Austyn was greatly sorrowed over the death of his brother, but learning his daughter was still alive. He decided to stick around the house to make sure she was safe, as honestly he had reflected back on his life and found the whole thing was a fiasco and a failure.

So now, his current residence is in the dumpster in the back of the Tanaka residence, where he had lain in a mattress and takes out any trash before it is thrown in, making sure his niece is safe and trying to stay out of the gaze of his father as much as physically possible.

» Natural Attributes:

Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Austyn is a master hand to hand combatant, due to the large amount of training he has had to do with his family. However, there is two additional factors to consider; one is his Chainzaw Sense, the other is his time in the streets. His street experience made him develop an almost instinctive reaction to coming under attack and reacting, as well as teaching him basic fighting tactics and how to deal with them

Chainzaw Sense: Due to his freak accident, Austyn has developed near-instanteous reaction speeds. This means that even someone like Colin Washi would find it difficult to score a hit on this man with raw speed; as he could react in time to block the attacks or dodge them. His Chainzaw Sense stops just short of reacting to movements under two thousand miles per hour; but his street senses will sometimes allow him to guess what he needs beyond this number, just not react as well.

Chainzaw System

Austyn's entire body, front and back, are covered with chains that he is able to make appear and disappear at will. They extend from his body and cover all around him, making them simple for him to use. They are the chains you would find on a chainsaw; which links them to his special ability. By manipulating his energy in different rates, he is able to force the chains to slam around his body, tightening them against himself as they begin to rapidly accelerate around his body. When they become like this, the chains become linked to his field of spiritual energy, meaning they could come out of his spiritual energy field attached to his body, go around his body, and go back into the energy field instead of keep going. So, he could fire a chain from the front of his knee to the back, where it would vanish and continue again from the front of the knee.

However, all the chains are imperatively linked to one another. Austyn has fifty feet of chain on his body, and when the chain is cut it is like a physical blow to himself. The chains are very strong, being able to take up to two thousand pounds of pressure before snapping and requiring a .000001 inch edge to cut. In addition, the more of his spiritual energy he loses, the less chain he has available to use. Also, because of the way the chains work, Austyn can't shoot them out. He has to run them along his body or hold them taut running between his body. They can't separate from him.

In addition, Austyn cannot cause two chains to cross. If he allows this to happen, his chains start running themselves in wrong directions, screwing up his body and making it all different directions that he doesn't want. Finally, Austin has a Gear System that his chains run by. This is how rapidly his spirit energy is running around his body, in other words, how fast his chains go when he has them running.

First Gear is pretty fast; it runs just short of 600 mph along Austyn's body. In addition it can cut through most non-supernatural metal and even wear down diamond over time. He uses this for travel, sparring, general combat, and getting his chains in position for use.

Second Gear is extremely fast; when it is active it can cut through a good amount of substances, spiritual or non-spiritual, just slicing away absolutely everything in its path it is able to and ripping it up. Second gear is his most commonly used speed; he uses it most to dodge and skate around his opponents, as well as using it as his specialized fighting gear, ripping opponents to pieces with shaking arms and legs due to the speed of the running chains.

Third Gear is the peak of Austyn's speed; it runs in the thousands of miles per hour and can cleave seki seki stone due to the fact that it goes so fast the stone can't register it as spiritual energy, allowing it to cut right through. This speed can easily tear through substances such as diamond and several layers of solid steel near instantly; and is Austin's least used gear. He only uses it when he has to cover a large distance in a short amount of time, or when he is unable to cut and slice his opponent enough.
