Takashi is an incredibly attractive man. A result of his Fae heritage, or perhaps just good genes, he has always attracted the ladies, something he used for his work … and, um, his ‘work’. He is not shy about his appearance, though his age and experience has made him a bit more humble than in his youth. Brown hair and eyes are typically dull and lifeless, but in his talented hands, they are model-like, his eyes like two pools of melted chocolate. His fingers are long and slim, undamaged by any of the trauma’s that cover the rest of his body. He keeps himself well in shape, though definitely not the most well-formed musculature of Olympus. On his right-shoulder is a tattoo of a pentagram.



There are two sides to Takashi, two sides that could not be more different. On the surface, the mask he wears everyday, is one of the doctor, the nurturer, the caretaker. It is the part of him that was fostered by his sister and adoptive parents. This mask he wears is one of pure virtues, caring and kind and eternally patient. He cares for everyone and everything, and couldn’t harm a fly if he wanted to. This is the mask he shows to his patients, his  family, the mask designed to hide the monster underneath. Rarely does it slip, but when it does, his true self is revealed.

Takashi, the real Takashi, is a monster in human form. Merciless, cruel, and with a penchant for blood and violence, this Takashi is the result of a crockpot of genetic soup, early childhood trauma, and drug abuse. Everything nice and good about him is twisted and corrupted here, his genius put to work to hack, slash, and kill his way through a small army. He is not opposed to the most extreme of crimes; murder and rape are simply the tip of the iceburg for Takashi.

And perhaps the most cruel aspect of Takashi is his charisma and genius twisted so much. Oh, he is a sweet talker; its not everyone who can convince the court to overlook his numerous crimes. And yet despite this potential, despite his excessive intelligence and abilities, he has put it to a life of crime and violence. The army only focused this into a killing intent that can only be matched by the supernatural. Why does he focus his energies on such evil and dark tasks when he could do so much good? The best experts have agreed it is the Fae inside of him rebelling against his very nature.



**Trigger Warning!**

Spoiler:

Fae Physiology: Unbeknownst to him, though obvious to anyone with any skill in identifying magical creatures, Takashi - and his family - are descended from the mysterious Fae. This leaves him stronger, faster, and more durable than most humans, slightly above peak human for the most part. It additionally grants him an affinity to magic, though he doesn’t actively recognize it. More a tingle in the back of his mind than anything, activating around any great magical power.

Medical Magic: Takashi has spent many years mastering and practicing a brand of magic all his own. Called “Medical Magic”, it focuses on healing, diagnosing, and various other jobs magic makes much easier. The base form of this magic is a green aura he is capable of emitting from his hands, promoting healing, stitching together small wounds, and supplementing a mental feeling of ease and happiness. In addition, it unlocks access to more complicated and powerful spells.

Rapid Response: An ability manifested from his Fae heritage, Rapid Response is as useful for a medic as it is for a serial killer. Within a mile radius - though this can be extended up to ten miles with concentration - Takashi can sense the location of any injured person within range. Once located, Takashi can then teleport immediately to their location, for whichever goal he has in mind. This ability, due to it being innate, can be used multiple times.



Diagnose: A spell used to, as the name says, diagnose any patient. With a touch, he can instantly know any illnesses, diseases, viruses, or other that a person may have. Extended contact grants greater knowledge, down to the intimate details, such as the health of hair, heart rate, and amount of cholesterol.
Weakness: Diagnose requires skin-to-skin contact, and for it to be particularly useful, requires at least three seconds of contact. If the patient breaks contact during this time, the spell must be cast again. Diagnose cannot detect particular illnesses, such as certain prion diseases or certain genetic illnesses.

Penetrate: A spell used to visually diagnose patients. By touching thin objects such as cloth or thin armor, Takashi can render it transparent and intangible. This allows him to cast spells that require skin-to-skin contact. [s]He can also use it to make people naked, but keep that quiet.[/s] Penetrate can also be used on skin and muscle.
Weakness: Penetrate can only work on materials less than an inch thick, and then only on softer, pliable materials. To do so, he must touch the material he wishes to cast this spell on.

Report: A more-advanced form of Diagnosis, Report creates a physical collection of symptoms and illnesses on a sheaf of paper. Though it takes longer than Diagnosis, it is more thorough, while also creating itself in a physical copy for other’s usage.
Weakness: Just like Diagnosis, Report requires skin-to-skin contact. Report must maintain contact for seven seconds, during which the paper and the writing on said paper will create itself.

Test: Some illnesses, such as particularly invasive parasites, magical diseases and curses, and certain genetic diseases can hide themselves from Diagnosis. Test is used to determine these indeterminable illnesses. A pulse of medical magic is sent through the target; acting much like radar, it bounces back, containing the information that was hidden from Diagnosis. This can detect everything from curses to otherwise undetectable or hard to detect diseases or illnesses, such as prions.
Weakness: Test requires skin-to-skin contact. This contact must be maintained for fifteen seconds to be effective.

Bind: A spell used to treat broken bones that cannot be healed fully. Invisible, cloth-like bonds wrap around the injured bone, keeping the broken in place. The magic releases pain relief effects as well, dulling the pain. Bind will automatically fade once the bone is healed. While the bone is Bound, it heals at ten times the rate, while still allowing the individual to maintain full mobility.
Weakness: Bind must be used directly on the bone, the magic only capable of being formed within the fingertips of Takashi. This requires the use of Penetrate or Scalpel most times. Depending on the size of the injury, Bind can take several seconds to fully work.

Cleanse: An all-encompassing spell that purges toxins and poisons from the physical body. Through concerted effort, it can also purge unhealthy energies from the body as well, such as curses or any other type of energy that would cause the body harm or is unnatural.
Weaknesses: Cleanse requires extended contact with the body. While it can be used to purge curses and the like, it must first be diagnosed. Purge can be used to cleanse alcohol from the system, leaving them with none of the systems typically associated with drinking too much, but doing so requires upwards of thirty seconds of contact.

Stitch: A spell that magically sews shut wounds both internal and external. These stitches are nearly invisible and completely sterile, the see-through material emitting a soft green light. Any wounds held together by this spell heal at ten times the rate. The magic of Stitch emits a pain relief that prevents the affected injuries from causing the patient pain.
Weakness: Stitch requires Diagnosis or Report to be used. Depending on the size of the injury, Stitch can require several seconds to a full minute to use each minute.

Treat: The follow-up to Test, Treat is used to create cures to illnesses that otherwise have none. From Prions, to genetic diseases, Treat can create functional treatments and, with enough time, cures for these diseases.
Weaknesses: Requires use of Test. Treat is unlike most medical magic in that it must be used on external resources, using a sample of diseases diagnosed by Test. Depending on the complexity of the disease, Treat will create treatments within hours to weeks, and pure cures in days to months.

Scalpel: Though an advanced spell, Scalpel is one of the most basic applications of magic. Using focused magic, Scalpel is capable of cutting flesh, muscle, and bone with little to no issues. The true strength of this is the capability to bypass the skin and only cut what is needed, such as the muscles underneath the skin; in other words, especially with Penetrate, he  can perform surgery without so much as spilling a drop of blood.
Weakness: Scalpel can only be used on flesh, whether living or dead. It cannot penetrate through any sort of clothing or armor. Like a typical Scalpel, it only cuts and must be stitched back together or healed another way. It only has a range an inch from the tip of his fingers.

Syringe: Through magical manipulation, Takashi can absorb or inject liquids directly into the bloodstream without puncturing the skin. They can also be used to stop the flow of blood from open wounds, or cause excessive bleeding from open wounds.
Weakness: Requires skin-to-skin contact.

Weakness: Sigil: Mass Report must be drawn directly on the skin of the patient. If the Sigil is disturbed, the effects are lost.

Sigil: Respite: A magical sigil drawn on patients.

Anybody in the area of effect will have their healing speed tripled, pain suppressed, and enjoy a general attitude of joy and kinship with others in the area.
Weakness: Sigil: Nurses Tent requires all four sigils to be placed. At most, it can be in an area no larger than a medium-sized hospital room.

Greater Sigil: Healing Tide: A powerful Sigil, formed from magic and implanted on the ground. This Greater Sigil is formed within a fifteen foot area, focusing on Takashi in the center. The three sections of this Sigil light up one at a time, with a one-second delay. As the outer ring lights up, a massive burst of healing energy floods the area of the Sigil, instantly healing all but the most major wounds and restoring stamina to those within.
Weakness: Requires at least thirty seconds of charge time. Only heals those within the area of the Sigil. Greater Sigil: Healing Tide can only be used once per combat thread.

Greater Sigil: All But Death: A powerful Sigil, formed from magic and inscribed upon the ground. Despite being a ‘Greater’ Sigil, All But Death only affects a single individual.

Weakness: Requires thirty seconds to charge. Can only be used once per combat thread.

Greater Sigil: Medical Pavilion: A powerful Sigil, formed from magic and inscribed upon the ground. Medical Pavilion can cover the area of a large hospital.

Any flesh hit is numbed around the impact site and approximately a foot around further as well.
