      DESCRIPTION:
        → Standing at a whopping one hundred ninety-two centimeters Rokurou is very tall for an Aerugese man. Weighing in at a mere eighty two kilograms he is very thin and lanky looking. His hair is of a medium length, black and unkempt but usually hidden beneath a red wide brimmed floppy hat. His facial features hard and angular. Hidden behind the orange colored shades are deep bright red eyes that always seem to be mocking the world. His skin is paler in color than most others of his race. Rokurou has an automail right arm.

Most often Takeda can be seen dressed in a charcoal suit with a red cravat. Over the suit the man wears a long red duster. His voice has a slightly gravelly tone to it and he can often be loud. His gait is long but most often casual, as if he does not have a care in the world.



        PERSONALITY:
        → Rokurou is a man who believes that life is a game and the world his plaything. He strives to find amusement in everything he does for if he gets too bored he may just abandon whatever it is he is doing. As such he has been known to be a little unreliable. Smug and even slightly arrogant the man hardly seems to worry about anything. Despite this he gets along with most people due to his sense of humor and love of entertainment. His philosophy is that life is just one big joke waiting to deliver the final punchline known as death and a such should be enjoyed to the fullest.

Known to play pranks sometimes to the extent that it gets on the nerves of those around Takeda rarely loses his good-natured joviality. He also seems to enjoy this, finding it very amusing to get a rise out of others. However if anyone threatens Kitsune his demeanor changes radically, quickly becoming angry and losing his calm friendliness. The man then loses all sense of self as he dedicates himself single-midedly and whole-heartedly to removing the danger to his charge. This goes beyond a mere ending the life of the one who threatened the little fox girl, opting to torture the person rather than kill them right off the bat. At this time Roku can seem to be quite sadistic finding even enjoyment in the way he treats these people.

The way he acts is mostly due to the philosophy he believes in, which he developed when he lost his right arm at the age of eight. His love for Kitsune is that of brother and sister, developing quickly after he found her. He considers her family and is closest to her than any other. Due to this, she is the only one that can truly convince him to something that he does not wish too.

        HISTORY:
        →Twenty-six years ago when Rokurou was spat out into the world, he was numbered as the sixth son in his family. His parents were apparently not all that creative as they named him exactly that; Rokurou means “Sixth Son”. For the first eight years the boy seemed perfectly normal, living a happy and healthy life. His parents owned one of the old samurai mansions, keeping it clean and open to the public while living in it. The boy spent most of his time exploring the old mansion and its grounds when he was not offering to help clean it up. He was a rather serious child up until this point, deeply studying the world and those around him.

Once Roku was halfway into his eigth year, the boy hit a turning point in his life. An accident ripped away his entirety of his right arm. Left with a right arm full of metal the boy had a slight mental breakdown that only lasted for a few days. On the morning at the end of it he came out of his room laughing, having discovered the philosophy that would govern the rest of his life. After this his parents noticed the change mostly in the fact that they now had to force the boy to do any sort of chores and in return he would often play harmless but annoying pranks on them. Soon after while at a library, he discovered a book about the basic fundamentals of alchemy. He read it and he loved it, believing that this sort of power could greatly satisfy his lust for enjoyment.

For the next year and a half of his life the boy spend as much time as he could gathering information on the subject of alchemy. He would eventually attempt alchemy on his own for the very first time when he accidentally broke a his mother's favorite vase within the mansion. The form was not completely fixed though and thus he would be discovered. Once his parents learned of his talent and true passion for the study and learning of alchemy they sent the boy off to learn under the tutelage of a man. The man was rather famous for several various theories about alchemy and taught the boy much during the following two years.

Early in the second month of his fourteenth year Rokurou would discover a secret single room laboratory beneath his mentor's house. Within this laboratory was a girl, a girl unlike any other he had ever seen. She was like something from the stories he had read in books, with fox ears and a tail. To the one who taught him she may be his pet experiment but when Roku looked upon her all he saw was a scared little girl trapped in a cage. He told her he would come back for her and not to tell the man who kept her here about him.

Over the next few days the boy would make his plan and enact it, finding the location of the key to the cage and noting the exact schedule of his mentor. Then came the day that he would grant the girl her freedom. Sneaking back down into that one room he brought the stolen key and opened the cage. Leading her out and into the world he asked her a few questions and discovered the girl knew nothing but the cage. She had no name, no place to go...no life of her own.

Takeda named her Kitsune after the mischievous fox spirits of lore, which in an ironic twist literally means “fox” leaving him as uncreative when it comes to naming as his own parents. Knowing that he could no longer stay there, that he had to take care of this girl that knew nothing, had nothing; the teen returned to his home. His parents were unsure of what to do at first but soon found that there would be no separating Roku from what he considered his charge.

For three years the teen continued to practice alchemy and wondered what to do with his life. He would make his decision on his seventeenth birthday to join the military. Roku didn't particularly care about protecting his country or the people in it but figured it would be a more entertaining place than his home, which had begun to bore him. Two months later he joined up and began his service that would last until the present day. He cares little about progressing up through the ranks, content to float through life enjoying it as it is.



        ALCHEMIC ABILITY:
        → Megaton Punch: Rokoruo turns the iron in his automail into a very powerful magnet. Everything in the world is influenced by magnetism to some degree in some way, save copper, aluminum, most gases and plastic. This allows him to either pull the opponent into the punch for more force or to send the opponent away with more force.(He uses this as he is punching them either a little before fist contact or directly after to attempt and make his punches stronger, even if only a little bit.) As human bodies are not highly attracted to or repulsed by magnetic fields, unless the opponent is wearing something that is the effect of this technique is almost negligible. Additionally something that is paramagnetic (attracted by a magnetic field) adds more force to the punch than something diamagnetic (repulsed by a magnetic field.)

He also uses it to make it nearly impossible to disarm him. He can also use it for various other uses like unlocking doors by moving his magnetized hand around the lock and moves the tumblers until the fall into place. He has also been known to scramble a computer or two.





      TRIVIA:
        → Allergic to seafood.
        → Is very prone to losing his lighter.
        → His automail arm is not the same as most others, it has much more iron in it than most.
      → Speaks Aerugese.

REVISE

- Magnetic power shouldn't be like the force. Tweak it to have a field it effects, as well as that when you come up with the alchemy application, consider some drawbacks to this rather versatile ability, as not everyone would be carrying metal all over themselves.

- Remove that 300 word template thingy from personality.

I have revised the this app.

- Removed the 300 word template thing.

- Reworded and added in a little more to better explain what his special ability does.

APPROVED
