Character Name: Takeshi Yamamoto
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
OU or AU?: OU
Canon point: Just before everyone starts having sailor moon transformation scenes, can this be the actual canon point? No? Alright, then JUST after he's attacked by Kaouru during the Simon Arc and left to bleed red life juices all over the school's locker room.
Setting: Katekyo Hitman Reborn primarily takes place in the small fictional city of Namimori located in Japan. Aside from the ridiculous shounen abuse of physics, Namimori is you average Japanese city. There's Namimori Middle school, that Yamamo attends with his friends, a shrine on the far edge of the city with a forest connected to it. There are markets and shops, including the sushi restaurant run by Yamamoto's father.
Wiki as an added bonus
History: Link because I don't think you would appreciate me being a wise-ass about 350 or so chapters of this spectacular series.
All so don't look too close at the personality section in the wiki because it was made by 14 year olds with little-to-no character insight and I can pinpoint pages on the places I differ from the wiki knowledge.In short I'm a bigger nerd than them.
Personality: For the most part, Yamamoto seems like a friendly, easy going, laid back sorta guy. If he were a meme he'd be 'good guy Greg'. He's almost always got a smile on his face and you would have better luck convincing Wikipedia to unban Stephen Colbert than you would offending Yamamoto. He's got the patience of a saint and is very hard to anger. However, Yamamoto is much more complicated than he appears. In the beginning of the series, while people were fond and chummy with Yamamoto, girls formed possessive fanclubs about him, he didn't particularly have any close friends. He appeared to be the untouchable good-guy jock. He also attempted suicide at one point, so it's safe to assume while he is generally easy-going and good natured, he's prone to bottling things up. A recurring theme with Yamamoto is that there is always more going on than there appears.
Running with this theme, Yamamoto can come off as kind of a dufus, His grades aren't stellar, and he often blatantly ignores the obvious to the point where one could argue some sort of comprehension deficiency. However, he's good enough at acting that he actually makes people believe he's that spectacularly dense. In truth, he's one of the sharpest members of the Vongola, as Reborn (mentor of the group) has stated. Yamamoto's grades are low simply because he's too preoccupied with baseball and lets his grades slip. When he puts forth the effort he's very quick at picking up on things on his own. The biggest facade he has is his involvement with the Vongola. He always brushes it off saying it's a 'fun role playing game', despite nearly getting eaten by sharks, getting pulled into the future, as well as a number of other dangerous and occasionally ridiculous events. However, it's not a perfect facade. He breaks it on a few occasions, one being to give his friend a good punch in the face (because this is how you fix people's problems in Shounen) and verbally lecture him on what good he's doing for the family with his attitude. The facade seems to be more of a safeguard than anything, so that he can fall back into his favorite hobby whenever he wants and not feel pressured by the Vongola.
For a good while, Yamamoto struggled weighing the importance of his favorite sport, baseball, and his friends and the Vongola. He would worry about getting hurt severe enough to prevent him from playing, and would hold back when it came to fighting. His suicide attempt was in part because he had gotten injured and might have to sit out the season (it can be speculated that there was more than that going on, but it's not elaborated, for headcanon reasons I am going to claim that the 'untouchable good-guy jock' act was weighing on him a bit too much). Over time the Vongola won out, but it doesn't mean he's any less enthusiastic about his sport. He's got a competitive spirit, and despite having baseball on the brain, it shows in more than just his chosen sport. While at first he refused his father's teachings on the family sword style, he picked it up for the sake of his friends, and whenever he finds a good opponent he gets a charge in fighting them. His fights are always good natured though, he doesn't aim to kill and if his opponent perishes for one reason or another (an outside source, sharks, ect.) he gets visibly upset, which for him is saying something. It's also rare for him to fight out of anger, as one of his greatest strengths is his ability to keep a cool head in heated moments Most of the time anyway, the previously mentioned face-punching and lecturing while necessary could have been done at a better time when someone wasn't trying to kill him (Luckily their attacker found their teenage hissy-fits amusing and let them be while he sat back and popcorn.gifed). There are a few moments when he becomes irritated, but in the entirety of almost 400 chapters, Yamamoto is only seen getting table-flipping angry once. And that one time he was fighting a century-old illusionist (the big bad boss of the arc), and by employing tactics and strategies in a cool-headed manner, Yamamoto sent him crawling away with his tail between his legs to regroup. This was just after Yamamoto had been healed from aforementioned shish-kabobbing.
Despite his perception on situations, his ability to play up a facade, Yamamoto does still have his derpy teenage boy moments when he's let his guard down. Whenthe world's most obnoxious small child one of his younger friends, Lambo, enters a room after a bath informing those in the dining area that "in the bath... THERE'S A BUNCH OF BOOBIES!" Yamamoto drops his drink and starts having an awkward flailing and choking moment with his friend Tsuna. And over the course of the series, Yamamoto lets his guard down more and more, using the facade less. It's still there, just simply added on as a kind of afterthought, at least with his friends in the Vongola. To strangers, while he's faster to open up than before, there's still an initial time when he slips back into it for comforts sake.
Overall, Yamamoto is a good kid who pretends to be normal, but has some unique quirks to him and a bucket of issues under the surface. He's a patient, laid back, calm, and good-natured baseball nerd, who will drop his bat and take up a sword for the sake of his friends.
Abilities: Leaving links to the wikis for any clarifications... as well as to prevent this section from ending up longer than the personality sectionit's happened to me before, sadly.
Shigure Soen Ryu : A sword style he inherited from his father, said to be the 'prefect technique'.
Rain Flame: Like most video games and a good deal of Shounen series, 'Dying Will Flames' are Katekyo Hitman Reborn's Shounen-laser of choice. There are several elements to them, each with different properties. Yamamoto's dying will flames takes form in a blue liquid-like flame called the rain flame. The property of these flames is 'tranquility', in term of application this means that it primarily works in weakening. When used against other attacks it slows them and weakens their power, it can also be applied to illusions- weakening them enough to break them/see through them. When applied to people it can slow them or stop them completely.
To put this in terms of an RPG, with along with his use of weapons and physical strength, Yamamoto is a debuff tank.
Vongola Ring: It is a ring that helps the user channel their flames. The Vongola rings are a high level ring and can take a very high flame output. Within the ring is also the 'will' (fancy canon term for ghost aparently) of the first Vongola guardian of that ring. For Yamamoto the will inside is Ugetsu Asari. It doesn't particularly come into effect, there was only one instance where the wills could make themselves known, and it is not likely to happen again.
Also, when alit the ring can be inserted into a special box and unlock weapons for that flame element. The weapons can rage from actual weapons (swords and such) or fancy weaponized animals. Depending on the box the animal can attack or in some cases can even fuse to certain weapons to upgrade it. Also, the more animalistic box weapons have some sort of mental bond with their owner. They often share moods, or the animal will act more freely on the owner's inert desires I.E. Owner is engaged in a conversation they don't want to be in, the animal will outright turn-tail and run.
Vongola "Box" Weapons: Box weapons come in small boxes that could fit into the palm of one's hand, however because of some 'wibbly wobbly timey-wimey' things, Yamamoto's box weapons now come in ring form... yet are still called box weapons. We don't ask questions. They're going to get broken in the next 3 chapters anyway.
Jirou: Jirou takes the form of an Akita, a classic Japanese guard dog. It's got teeth, claws, it's pretty big, and he helps Yamamoto hold swords. And that's about it. For all intensive purposes, Jirou is a big cute fluffy doguntil Yamamoto gets his next super power upgrade but no one cares about that right now.
Kojirou: Kojirou takes the form of a small swallow, and like most things with Yamamoto what you see is not exactly what you get. While the large weaponized guard dog is essentially a dog, the little tiny bird is, in fact, what is going the screw you over. When it flies and flits about it can dowse foes from overhead with rain flames, or it can fly around them for a more concentrated attack. It can also fuse with Yamamoto's sword to upgrade enough to channel rain flames more efficienty.
Ugetsu's four irregular swords: These four sword come out with Jirou, and they consist of one long sword and three short swords. To most this would be an unwieldy and clumsy sword combination, however, Yamamoto's height and build allow him to do so more efficiently.And I know this because I read junk of samurai as one of my many nerdly hobbies
Oops I just accidentally a hole in your wall: Aside from all the amazing shiny shounen lasers, Yamamoto is tremendously strong, and occasionally has issues holding back, especially when it comes to anything baseball related. For example, when someone asks him to 'toss then something' he will pitch it at them full throttle like it were a baseball. He has imbedded a ball into a concrete wall by accident like this.
How did your character arrive in Rapture? Yamamoto was taken in as part of the accidental teleporting. Of course with the massive gaping bleeding hole in his middle he got stuffed into one of the Vit-chambers, then handed his things (Dufflebag with his baseball uniform and bat, as well as what he was wearing when he got shish-kabobbed) and sent on his merry way.
Network sample:
[The feeds comes on to a somewhat perplexed teen poking at this and that, momentarily unaware he had
Ah, it's recording! Whups! [He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment] Um, hello, I was just wondering if there's anyone from Namimori around? I think there might have been some sort of mistake somewhere, I'm not supposed to be here and it's kinda late so I need to get home before my dad starts to worry.
[He laughs a bit and sits back from the screen revealing he was in a full baseball uniform, complete with his sport's jacket. Of course it also revealed some dark redish-brown smears and splatters on his hands and face. Hopefully he could just play it off as mud. No one needed to know about the messy details behind that.]
And does anyone maybe have some clothes they wouldn't mind me borrowing for a bit? I just got out of practice and didn't get a chance to grab my clothes yet. alright so now I just hit 'send'...
Log sample:
Yamamoto sat under the atrium, looking up at the liquid ceiling while he thought. He was at a complete loss for what to do. He had to warn Tsuna about the Simon Family. He had only been able to write 'deritoto' before he wound up here... and if he wasn't there, how would Tsuna know the message was for him? He might catch on when they noticed he was missing, but what if it got cleaned up by then?
Almost on cue he heard a whimper, and felt the weight of Jirou's head resting on his knee. He looked down with a little smile and pet the dog's head.
"Hey boy, you're nervous too huh?"
By looking down at Jirou he was forced to take in what surly had to be an odd sight to anyone walking by. He was in his baseball uniform, dirty from practice earlier in the day, while light smears of dried blood stubbornly clung to his face and hands even after he woke up in that chamber-thing, sitting with a dog with four swords strapped to him. It was like some slasher-movie gone horribly wrong, but it would have been worse if he hadn't changed. The clothes he had arrived is were covered in blood, utterly soaked in it to the point he could still smell it through the duffle bag. He wanted to just throw them out, but considering what he came with, it seemed like a better idea to just hoard them for now.
A bat, some baseballs, a jacket, his baseball uniform, cleats, helmet, some hygienic stuff... his Vongola Ring and Jirou and Kojirou. That was all he had in his bag. He chuckled a bit as he continued his absentminded petting.
"We might not have much, but at least I'll still smell good, right?" Jirou only let out another long whine, which was echoed by a quiet sigh from Yamamoto. His smile didn't falter though, and with a final lighthearted pat on the dog's head he stood up, "Well, nothing will get better if we just sit around here, right? Come on, I'm sure there will be someone that can help!"
Jirou barked, seeming a bit more uplifted by it's master's change in tempo, and followed him with a playful spring in his step, again, echoed by Yamamoto's brisk pace. Hopefully, maybe with as weird as they looked, the attention might do more good than harm. He was good with people, and if he made an effort to look playful and harmless, people would be more apt to help, right? He'd find a way to make this work... somehow.
