Basic Information Name: Soga Inukai Race: Satsuma Dog Beastman Gender: Male Age: 19 Height: 192cm Origin: Wano Country Appearance: A beastman with a heavy, powerful build reminiscent of a large Satsuma dog. He has broad shoulders and a thick neck. His muscles are well-developed, but they look more like a "body forged on the battlefield" than one for sport. His entire body is covered in dark brown fur, nearly black, with grayish-white fur only from his neck to his chest. His chest is thick, and his arms show hard muscles from years of swinging a katana. His sharp, sanpaku eyes and thick eyebrows give off an intimidating aura. There is an old sword scar across the bridge of his nose. He is poor at expressing emotions, but they often show in his ears and tail. He wears a black haori over his academy uniform and carries a long katana at his waist. Personality: Reticent and upright. He has an old-fashioned personality that values etiquette, loyalty, and Bushido above all else, swearing absolute fealty to those he once trusts. He hates dishonesty and never forgives injustice or betrayal. On the other hand, he is extremely stubborn and inflexible, struggling with modern values or lighthearted banter. He has no resistance to romance or compliments; when flustered, it shows in his ears and tail. Manner of Speech: First person: I (archaic/samurai style). He usually speaks in low, short sentences. He does not talk more than necessary and maintains a calm, warrior-like tone. When his emotions run high, his Satsuma dialect becomes more pronounced. Ability System Ki: Soga possesses no magical power. Instead, he has trained his "Ki"—biological energy—to the absolute limit. Because its fundamental theory differs from magic, it is difficult to detect with mana-sensing, hard to analyze as a spell formula, and can forcibly break through magical barriers. To an Arcana-style mage, he is an "incomprehensible foreign object." Ki-Blade Arts: Ultra-close combat utilizing physical enhancement via Ki. It is characterized by explosive stepping speed and the weight of a single strike. He excels at Battōjutsu (quick-draw) and is feared for the saying "you are cut the moment he is seen." By imbuing his slashes with Ki, he can also perform long-range attacks. Wa-style Sorcery: A unique system of techniques from Wano Country. It combines Ninjutsu, Onmyōjutsu, and curses, which cannot be fully analyzed by standard magical theory. Notes: He came to the academy on a recommendation. He does not know why he was recommended.
