Character Info:
Full Name: Asagi Namani
Fandom: Category Freaks
Age: Actual: unknown, a decent amount over 70 Appearance: 14 Acts: 25-30ish
Species: Stand- A humanoid creature that hunts Freaks, which are the canon equivalent to demons, ghosts, poltergeists ans other supernatural beings.
Point In Canon: end of the third volume
Gender: Male
Background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks_(manga)
Little is said about Asagi's history, though to be sure it must have been an unusual upbringing. His mother was a human, while his father was a Stand. She was killed by a freak, causing a deep hatred for them in his father- one that goes beyond the natural predator/ prey relationship. Asagi does not seem to have been effected by her death in the same way. Instead, it seems that he got some of the human compassion of his mother, and judges them on a case by case basis. Unlike his father, who shows more fascination with the way having a human soul would effect this one freak, Asagi's desire to allow the freak sanctuary comes from a purer desire to preserve a loving relationship-the very relationship that had called the human soul to live in the Freaks body.
Over time, this has not waned. If anything, this kindness has slowly grown in him. When Asagi was younger he was more violent and more easily riled, as well as crueller. While working with the special police forces he meets a fascinating man named Agaki and begins to work with him. He seems to quickly grow fond of him, and even seems jealous when Agaki gets along well with a woman that he told Agaki to investigate. Their relationship as partners seems to show him the kindness within his own heart. He continues working with Agaki right into the time of World War II, at least until their boss decides to seperate from the police and set each Stand up with their own office.
Several years ago, Asagi was on a case in a middle school where he met Amano, one of the students and the great grandson of Agaki. He allowed Amano a glance of the world of freaks, knowing that if he was like Agaki, he would need more. Asagi is similarly fond of Amano as he was of Agaki. There is still a bit of a romantic interest, though he also acts a bit fatherly towards Amano.
Personality: Asagi generally presents a rather professional, business-like demeanour. Once you learn his personality, though, you might notice that even when he is appearing professional, he has a strange sort of playfulness about him. It's subtle, but it becomes even more obvious when he is among the people working in his office. He has a dry humour that is laced with sarcasm, and he greatly enjoys making the people he would call friends feeling just ever so slightly uncomfortable, usually by making unwanted sexual advances. He will do the same thing to strangers that he thinks are attractive as well, but only when it is not in a business situation.
It is uncommon for him to show irritation, unless he is deprived of his nicotine fix. Even then his anger, like most of his expressions, is quiet and subdued. Occasionally, the truth he knows is just so different from what is perceived by others that he can't help but to laugh loudly, breaking his usual professionalism.
Beneath this top layer, Asagi is actually surprisingly caring, though he only shows it in very limited ways. He takes in freaks that have lost their desire to harm people and have a connection to a human. One of the girls in his office actually shares her body with a freak that acts as a second personality that saves her from stressful situations and sexual abuse. Despite his flirtatious nature, Asagi also avoids ever flirting excessively with the personality that dislikes such strong advances and makes sure to stay within her comfort zone.
What kind of things will they be bringing with them? At least a carton of cigarettes, several business suits, a black long wig, a cross necklace, and a lighter.
Abilities: One of Asagi's power as a Stand is to create what appears to be shadowy striking limbs that look like spider legs and extend from his body. They are capable of ripping a freak to shreds. Without a 'remitter'- another related creature that can join with his body- he can do massive amounts of damage, but he is also incapable of controlling himself. With the help of a remitter, he is able to only harm the freak, and leave the human uninjured. His entire body actually appears to be capable of becoming this shadow material, though normally he looks much like a normal human, but with white hair and gold eyes. Upon arrival in Avon, he will find that his normally immense power has become greatly dulled. While he would still be likely to be able to attack a supernatural being and harm it, he would not be able to dispatch one with the skill he is known for in his canon. His abilities would likely have absolutely no effect on humans either. Aside from this offensive ability, he is capable of smelling a freak in addition to having a generally keener sense of smell and sight.
He also has the ability to connect himself to a otherwise normal trinket by wearing it. He can then use the item to listen into what is happening near the trinket, and can even teleport to the location of the trinket.
Aside from his supernatural abilities, Asagi is in general a very sharp-witted person. He's the kind of person that notices that vital detail that everyone else looks over. He's the Sherlock Holmes of the supernatural world, even if many of the skills carry over.
Third Person Sample:
This wasn't his bed. This wasn't his room, but this headache... When was the last time he had a cigarette?
With a groan, he swung his legs out of bed, looking down at his pyjamas. He didn't remember changing himself. Had Izumi...? Looking around, he was thankful to see his pack of cigarettes along with his lighter sitting on the night-stand with a strange device. He reached for the pack and the lighter, pulling one out and lighting it with all the grace of a life-long smoker.
Only after he took a big drag from it did he bother to pick up the device and turn it over in his hands. He opened it, examined the buttons, the interface, and threw it down onto the bed. Sure, he could use it now, but he didn't know who was on the other end of that network. He had no way of knowing if he could trust what he saw through that. There was still that lingering sense hovering over him anyway. A half forgotten dream. A fire place, a little girl. He was fairly sure it wasn't Tokiko. The girl had been saying something, and Tokiko rarely said much more than "Freakish!"
With a bit of a grumble he noticed finally the lack of an ash tray, instead ashing into the garbage bin. Where had he been last? In the office. That was no surprise. He was listening to the story Izumi was telling, pretending to sleep. He still had his suit on then. Had he actually fallen asleep? That still didn't explain the strange apartment, unless Izumi had taken him somewhere. He didn't see why Izumi wouldn't just wake him up.
"Izumi?" he tested, only half expecting to hear the Ancient's voice come from his own chest, or at least from another room.
"I know I wanted to keep my own company for a while, but you could at least answer me." No answer. He was alone.
He finished his cigarette and pinched it out, tossing it into the bin. He next went to the wardrobe and threw it open to reveal sets of business suits. They were all his size. He even recognized some small marks on them. The sort that you don't notice unless you're looking for them. Another curiosity. If he didn't know better, he might think that he came here willingly. There was even two black cloaks in there- the sort he used when investigating at night.
He took his time getting dressed, determining that he would turn to the city outside the apartment window for more answers. He only pocketed the strange device as a second thought before heading outside.
Despite all the mystery, the thing that bothered him the most was that this didn't even smell the slightest bit of a Freak.
First Person Sample:
[A young-looking man with white hair and gold eyes is sitting by the window, looking out with an expression that is in a vague area between bored and contemplative.]
This morning I woke up in this odd place. According to the newspaper, this is a city called Avon. The people in the city were unhelpful in giving any more information. I can only suppose that I am not the only one in this situation, or they would not have given me this communication device that the rest of the city doesn't seem to make use of.
[He pulls a cigarette out of the pack and takes his time lighting it. He leans back into his chair, crossing his legs and lacing his fingers as he finally looks into the camera with a nearly unnoticeable smile, taking a drag.]
My name is Asagi Namani. Before I woke here, I was the head of a Paranormal Agency. This will be an interesting case.
