Post by Bakiri Retsu on Nov 3, 2023 3:00:44 GMT
Arc One: Setup'Birds die in pursuit of food, humans die in pursuit of wealth.'It was during a routine sale that Bakiri Retsu's tranquil life of crime was turned upside down. What had at first looked like a simple trade between Radical extremists was quick to get out of hand when her trading partner, Junior, skimped on his side of the deal causing guns to be drawn. Chaos was thrown into the equation when Sebastian Sinclaire skated into the meeting and was mistaken by Retsu for an assassin sent to assist in killing her in order to take over her turf. After a brief fight that sent Junior and his goons fleeing, left Sebastian grievously unharmed and Retsu with severe injuries she swore vengeance on both the unknown assassin and the Akimichi family that (allegedly) hired him to kill her. Eager to blow off some steam after setting her nose and bandaging her leg Retsu headed into the forest to test new grenades and attain her revenge on the 'bush' portion of the ambush she just faced. Stumbling into lylyth when one of her experimental bombs took out a tree stump the two decided to go Blast Fishing and after leisurely chatting by the campfire Retsu returned to Tokyo with a clear head and a newfound hatred for the city's inhabitants. After she returned to her turf she found out -albeit the realization did not quite set in- that actions have consequences and the crime family she tossed bombs at were starting to muscle their way into her turf. Were both parties logical the encounter would have started with posturing, harsh words and perhaps some exchanged blows. Unfortunately for the Akimichi family Retsu was anything but reasonable and when she came across a group of thugs straying into her territory all hell broke loose. Facing off against the armed men in a fair 1v5 Retsu ran into a slight problem when one of them turned out to be wearing a bullet- and stab-proof vest. Deciding the best way to get around the problem was to shove a concussion grenade down said vest and bear hug him to make sure he can't get it out in time Retsu ended up taking more damage from the grenade than she'd expected and without Health Insurance her prospects were dire indeed until the villain Mummy stumbled onto the scene! Together Bakiri Retsu and Rui Matsui throw down against the enemy's reinforcements, taking only minor injuries such as three bullets to the chest in the process. Having a hunch as to who sent the goons Retsu exchanged contact info with Rui to invite her along to the inevitable grand finale. It was bound to be a blast. In the wake of the fight Retsu paid some info brokers to make sure she was right about everything and confirmed it was the Akimichi Family that's behind her troubles as she'd expected after she knocked out the don's son -Junior- with a grenade. Additionally she discovered they own a factory and several distribution centers throughout the city to spread their goods -both legal and illegal- far and wide. In a rare moment of introspection she realized she wasn't equipped to take the entire family on quite yet and slowly cornered them by taking out their network while building up her arsenal instead. While working on exactly that her phone is hacked by facade and she's invited to a meeting. Taking the hacking as a threat and not being a hypocrite at all, not in the slightest, really, she showed up armed for bear, eager to find out whether he's a Hacker or a hack job. After some back and forth Facade and Bakuretsu manage to come to an understanding and set up a partnership of sorts, promising to meet again in the future to collaborate and combine their respective areas of expertise into a whole that is more (destructive) than the sum of its parts. With her preparations as done as they could be and her info brokers coming through once more Retsu homes in on the Akimichi family, discovering the exact location of their factory by the bay as well as a time slot where the entire family would be present. Texting Rui Matsui about it Retsu was both surprised and annoyed when the horned menace didn't show up for some Industrialized Violence. Little did she know not one but two of them showed up, for not only did Rui in fact arrive -and promptly get taken hostage when she misunderstood that they were gonna meet inside the factory- but her brother, Shō Matsui , also joined the party unbeknownst to either of them. Having taken on a hit job on don Akimichi it was pure coincidence that he was present at the same time as Retsu. Ignorant of each other both rampage through the factory, their actions hindering each other as much as they helped before the pair finally met near the center of the factory in the very room Rui was being held hostage in. Unaware they're both after the same targets Sho and Retsu got into a fight that lasted a solid three seconds during which the entire Akimichi family died, Retsu lost her right hand and three fingers on her left, Rui used one of her captors as a horse and Sho -allegedly- got a bit of soot on his jacket. With Rui present to stop Sho and Retsu from killing each other -and uncripple the latter- all three of them end up leaving the place on relatively friendly terms. With her foes bested and a power vacuum in their -and now her- territory Retsu has no time to rest, one eye looking to the future, eager to consolidate her gains before the vultures swoop in. Her quarrel with the Akimichi had come to a permanent end but questions still remained. Where did some no-name crime family manage to get enough weaponry to set up an arms trade throughout so much of Tokyo and the know-how to manage it? More importantly, how was it still making its way into her turf without passing through her hands despite them being gone? Retsu needed answers and she needed them fast. Luckily her inquiries were Welcome to Nirvana, the perfectly legal club beneath which laid a far less legal underground club of info brokers she'd had dealings with before. Once there she found that she'd gone looking for copper yet struck gold, meeting up with not just Rui Matsui once more but also one of the future leaders of Pantheon, Sonya Chernovna , and the very owner of the club she'd been intending to head down to, Elias . A meeting that turned out remarkably productive, setting her up with connections and several jobs even before she headed down to the Hibernacula to confirm her suspicions. Info from there had led her to seek out and accept a mercenary contract that once more brought her back to the bay. The contractor had been tipped off to an illegal weapon shipment and put together a team to raid the cargo ship it'd be coming in on. It should have been smooth sailing. Their strategy was all set until a helicopter arrived and threw Revision into the mix. So, about that plan... Didn't quite end up going Retsu's way. With the mercenaries dropping one by one until naught but Retsu herself was left the situation seemed dire. Yet in one certain aspect both parties found a common goal. Profit. A deal was struck and a larger part of Tokyo's arms trade now fell under Bakuretsu's purview. Yet who the Akimichis suppliers had been still remained a mystery, one that would remain so for quite a while. When the incident that took place during the 4th of May temporarily changed the abilities of both herself and several of her enemies Retsu took the opportunity to get rid of one in particular that had both been a thorn in her side and too strong to get rid of. When an uninvolved party in the form of rhea intervenes Mind tricks and intrusive thoughts clash, forcing Retsu to flee the scene before her injuries and the authorities alike could put her under. With her enemy dead and her still alive she'd chalk it up as a victory, disregarding her wounded pride. For now. The founding of the criminal organization Pantheon and its network ENKI was where Retsu's rise sped up exponentially. With connections to both of its founders -Facade and Ishtar- and her turf expanded far beyond what it had been mere weeks before she was in the perfect position to take up the mantle of Director within the newly founded group. Not one to waste an opportunity Bakuretsu would strike thrice during their opening shot, the event known as Operation Babel that held Tokyo in its grip for a whole twenty four hours. Making full use of her new rank and the chaos spreading hero society's resources thin Retsu gathered several groups of the worst people you know, met up with Rui Matsui and raided a large shopping mall in the most chaotic manner possible. Truly, With friends like these... ...who needed enemies? The arrival of Shō Matsui proved it was definitely not Retsu as his sudden appearance forced her to rush to grab what she needed and get out before it turned into a fight, something made all the harder by the presence of Kushiki Kioko and ctrl . Having learned from her previous attack on a ship she made sure she was on the side that had the helicopter during The ASTA Raid. Together with Rui Matsui and Jackie Maradona she raided the support company's shipment of the latest tech, snagging herself materials that were perhaps even more valuable than the massive amount of money she'd made from the mall raid. It would certainly allow her to upgrade her arsenal tremendously turning her into a far larger threat than before. High on her successes Retsu set the stage to hijack a police precinct's press conference near the closing moments of Operation Babel. With Fifteen minutes to Mayhem the vigilante CHIRP ♪♪ was the only one who caught on to what was about to happen. Despite his best attempts he failed to stop the plan, succeeding however in saving several lives -including Retsu's own- by getting a bomb planted by a rivaling faction out of the area. With the stage taken Retsu's message rang loud and clear, footage of her speech spreading like wildfire. "This is just the beginning." |

Retsu has a foul mouth and the social grace of a bull in a china shop. When she's not out drinking or having fun she's usually found within her workshop tinkering with one thing or the other. In general there are only two things that get Retsu to be quiet. The first is when she's crafting explosives, the sole activity on which she can stay focused for hours at a time. The second is when she's incredibly angry. While usually boisterous and quick to fire back there's a point where when she's pushed too far her anger turns destructive. When Retsu gets angry her quirk flares up unconsciously, almost seeming to channel the anger out of her and into her quirk to maintain a cool head.For the most part however Retsu does not take things seriously. She maintains a 'live and let live' philosophy for anything that doesn't concern her. When something -or someone- gets in her way she rarely considers them however, simply heading past or around the obstacle in whatever way is the quickest, whether this method is moral or not. Due to her love for explosive and 'when all you have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail' her problem solving skills are not the most developed. Living in a world where money is what matters and trust is in short supply Retsu maintains a wide variety of surface level relations but has never formed any form of meaningful connection with anyone. Her understanding of the importance of networking and reliability due to her profession makes her a steadfast ally so long as both sides benefit from it but a very uncaring bystander the moment those benefits run out. Despite her past experiences Retsu seems far more willing to place her trust in others and cooperate with them during Dream World.[attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE  » HEIGHT: 163 cm / 5'4" » WEIGHT: 65 kg / 130 lbs » EYE COLOR: Light Purple » HAIR COLOR: Dark Purple » SKIN COLOR: Tan » FACE CLAIM NAME: Minene Uryuu » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Future Dairy Retsu has extremely long dark purple hair and light purple eyes. Standing at a bit over five foot four she's roughly average sized for her age. She has a relatively lean and slightly muscular build to exercise mixed with poor dietary habits. She usually defaults to wearing a tank top or sleeveless shirt and loose fitting drab colored pants with lots of pockets. When her quirk is active parts of her hair turn into violet pink flames.
She tends to keep a combat knife on her person, hidden when in public and displayed more openly when traversing dangerous areas. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY  Born quirkless to a poor family Retsu never had a bright future laid out before her. Answering mockery with punches she couldn't stand the 'little pricks' using their quirks 'by accident' while being beaten down. It was during one such incident she took a blast of light to her left eye leaving it damaged and painful to look through. The constant pain when not using an eyepatch only caused her anger to burn further and before long she fell in with the wrong crowd. By the time she was twelve she already had a reputation as a hot-headed lunatic with the local gangs. The sole reason she was allowed to stick around was that she had a knack for fixing things: broken tools, electronics or situations alike. Her true love however laid in explosives. Fixing electronics through trial and error had more than once caused them to explode and Retsu delighted greatly in figuring out how to maximize the effect. Much like her passion so too did her temper grow more and more explosive. The more she dealt with petty gangsters and thugs the more she became consumed by the violent nature of her profession. Seeing similar power structures all around executed at both large and small scales she grew to strongly dislike all forms of authority other than her own, viewing them as little more than threats of violence or harm to keep her cowed and in line. With examples all around it she slowly became better and better at using her own skills to get her way. It was only after a fight gone wrong when she was fourteen years old that she realized just how good at it she'd become. Having been left for dead in a ditch it'd taken her hours to crawl out and reach a hideout where she'd spend days recovering before daring to leave. When she finally got home her parents had welcomed her back as if she'd just been out for a walk, not even looking away from their work as they did. They were simply too afraid of her to ask where she'd been or risk looking her in the eye. That was the second last time she'd set foot in her family home. The final time was when she'd just turned sixteen and managed to scrounge up enough money to buy her own workshop, slipping in during the night just to get her birth certificate and other papers in case she'd ever need them before leaving once more without her parents ever knowing she was there. Over time part of the local gangs came to rely on her supply and connections. Using this to great effect Retsu took to solidifying her position and eliminating the gangs that stood against her until by the age of 19 she’d established a vast network of customers, prospective allies and collaborators. Operating out of her workshop turned repair shop that she'd named 'Wired' her reach is widening by the day and she is taking ever greater risks to keep the momentum going. On the surface her repair shop is exactly that: a store that repairs, fixes or otherwise modifies appliances, vehicles, tools or other miscellaneous items. While she certainly does do such work it is little more than a front for what really goes on in 'Wired'. For Retsu is a fixer in more ways than one. Supplying people with the weapons they need, using her network of contacts to ensure the right people are in the right places or even taking to the field herself are all things within the realm of possibilities. For the right price, of course. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ITEMS -Smart phone -Wide variety of mechanical tools, both for precision work and and more demanding labor -Box of burner phones -Eyepatch with in-built camera scrambling technology [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK  QUIRK NAME: Blazing Hair QUIRK RANK: C+ QUIRK TYPE: Transformation / Emitter QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Blazing Hair allows the user to light their hair on fire and freely control the flames on their head. Said flames are volatile once separated from Retsu and detonate upon impact.Retsu primarily utilizes it by grabbing chunks from her hair, which she can throw like fireballs or manipulate. She can also manipulate the flames to allow her to fly through the air. Additionally Retsu possesses some rudimentary control over the lengthened hair allowing her to use it for simple tasks.
 QUIRK DRAWBACKS: Retsu's quirk factor is located in her left eye and any damage to it, whether temporary or permanent, reduces the effectiveness of her quirk. Additionally she must manually channel her quirk through her eye to set her hair on fire causing there to be a brief delay between the intended activation and the actual activation of her quirk.
Retsu's hair only returns to full length while in its fiery state and when the quirk is purposefully used to regrow it. As such she must carefully manage how much she uses her quirk lest she find herself out of ammo at the wrong time. Furthermore regrowing her hair is not an instant process and no other applications of the quirk can be used while regeneration is in process.[attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ATTRIBUTES » AWARENESS (B-)

While not all of them work Retsu maintains a variety of proven designs including stun grenades(/flash bangs), rudimentary fragmentation grenades, smoke and tear gas grenades, incendiary grenades, C4, cluster bombs and more. Given the dangers of being caught with such a thing in the open however Retsu only carries them with her when she knows in advance they will be needed and/or useful. --- EQUIPMENT NAME: Modified Rifle and Pistol EQUIPMENT RANK: C- EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Airsoft Store / Modified by Bakiri Retsu EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION:Having started life as an airsoft rifle and pistol whether they can still be called as such depends on how one feels about the Ship of Theseus.

Whether practical appliances such as fridges and ovens, security oriented ones such as cameras and trip wires or even basic weaponry and hero equipment Retsu can fix, improve or even create whatever is needed provided she has access to the right materials and tools. ---  SKILL NAME: Explosive Manufacturing SKILL RANK: A+ SKILL DESCRIPTION: While her all round engineering knowledge and skills are nothing to scoff at it is her ability to manufacture explosives from a wide variety of materials -some easily attained- that lifts her status from that of a skilled craftsman to a genius. Possessing a near instinctive understanding of ratios and blast radius's combined with a passion for the craft Bakiri Retsu works on her skills daily and the result shows. Why, in the past year she's only blown up part of her workshop three times by accident! ---  SKILL NAME: Close Quarters Combat SKILL RANK: C+ SKILL DESCRIPTION: Due to a rough childhood Retsu is no stranger to scraps. Her involvement with gangs and other unsavory types has led to her supplementing her self-made unarmed style with a combat knife. Due to her willingness to commit to blows she's won most of her fights as a child which often causes her to overestimate her skill level. Combined with her lack of any formal CQC training Retsu has a tendency of over committing ---  SKILL NAME: Ballistic Mastery SKILL RANK: C SKILL DESCRIPTION: Retsu has been taught in the use and maintenance of a variety of firearms as well as a variety of other projectile weapons. Although depth perception does not come naturally to her a mix of experience and the right tools has allowed her to slowly up her proficiency in the skill up to the point it is no longer noticeable, allowing her to go toe to toe with skilled marksmen.
