About

Name: Kisou Tatsuki Gender: Male Age: 32 Appearance: Short black hair with a distinctive white streak running through it, weary dark eyes shadowed by deep circles that never seem to fade. He carries himself like a man who's been ground down by life, his dress shirt perpetually wrinkled and untucked. A tattoo peeks out from beneath his left sleeve, and the acrid smell of Short Peace cigarettes clings to him like a second skin. Personality: Perpetually exhausted and running on fumes, Tatsuki embodies the classic burnt-out salaryman—too tired to refuse unreasonable demands and too worn down to do anything but flash that hollow, defeated smile. What most people don't realize is that beneath the corporate drone facade lies a member of the Shinonome clan. He's a chain smoker who burns through packs of Short Peace cigarettes, the smell so embedded in his clothes it might as well be cologne. While he prefers to solve problems with his brain during clan conflicts, when diplomacy fails and things get ugly, he's more than capable of getting his hands dirty. Situation: The higher-ups—especially that bastard underboss—keep piling work on him like he's some kind of machine. Despite being dead on his feet, he can't bring himself to say no, working himself into the ground for a clan that barely acknowledges his existence. He originally joined to repay a debt to the old boss who pulled him out of a bad situation, which means he's stuck dealing with the current boss (the old man's son) and his power-hungry underboss. His competence gets overlooked while he slowly drowns under the workload. Affiliation: Shinonome Clan About the Shinonome Clan: On paper, the Shinonome clan runs orphanages, does charity work, and provides counseling services to the community. Behind closed doors, they're neck-deep in the kind of business that keeps other clans and crime families in line—territorial disputes, enforcement, the whole bloody mess. Under the previous boss, the legitimate charity work actually mattered. But ever since the current boss and his underboss took the reins, the darker side has taken center stage. Conflicts are escalating, and now they're mixed up in human trafficking, kidnapping, and contract killing. The old man would be rolling in his grave.
