[SPOILER="Keiji Takeshi - The Golden Lion"]
Real Name: Keiji Takeshi
Alias: The Golden Lion
Age/Gender: 41 / M
Race: Asian
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Personality: Keiji is smug and calculating. He is impossible to approach without considering what trick he may have under his sleeve or what he hasn't already prepared for. He uses his resources and tactical mind to consistently stay 10 steps ahead of his enemies and overpower anyone known to oppose him, earning him the moniker "Golden Lion", a title fitting for his reputation. However, he refuses to kill or attack anyone without reason. Unless Keiji has been wronged, or a member of his gang injured or killed, he will not fight, as he sees no point.
Flaws: Pride. His abilities and status have endowed him with success in many of his endeavors, which inevitably placed a sense of pride and superiority in his heart. As a result, he may stubbornly place himself in perilous situations to 'demonstrate' his superiority and risks getting severely injured or killed. He also has trouble against ranged attacks, as he prefers to fight head on rather than from a distance. Moreover, though his reputation may suggest otherwise, Keiji is simply human. He is not immune to a hand tearing out his spine, a blast of fire or ice shot through his chest, nor can he stop a speeding train with ease or reach extreme altitudes and distances within the blink of an eye.
Powers: Keiji is just a man, but he is a man who has honed and sharpened his body to its limit, reaching the human limits of his strength and agility to become a monster among men and even a threat to smaller heroes. His near inhuman stats combined with martial arts mastery and years of military training makes him an individual to be feared by many.
[SPOILER="Backstory"]
Top marks in school. Aced all standardized exams. Held to a standard of excellence in everything he did by himself and those around him.
The pride of his parents and the role model to his younger brother...... but a valuable asset to his ruthless grandparents.
In his second year of high school Keiji was abruptly pulled out of his normal life to begin training as a member of the yakuza, but he was given special treatment. His grandfather's connections landed him a position on the U.S. military forces as the first trainee at an age under 18, and Keiji was required to stay for ten years. During that period of time, he became a renowned tactician and strategist who was integral to the country's success in many missions, both domestic and foreign. After his time with the military, he was then given an honorable discharge from service and returned to his grandparents for more training.
Kenjiro Takeshi, head of the yakuza function in NYC, sought to eliminate any factors that would hinder Keiji from fully embracing the role for which he had been groomed; a few days after Keiji left for his service in the military, his parents and little brother were caught in a tragic explosion at an electric power plant, cause unknown.
At the age of 26, Keiji continued his training as a newly inducted member of the yakuza, where he continued to excel. His combat prowess outshone any other member, and he successfully completed all infiltration and espionage missions with flying colors. Keiji quickly climbed the ranks and faithfully served as the wakagashira, or 'second-in-command', for the next few years. However, it was only a matter of time before he found out the truth behind the accident that killed his family, and in a burst of rage, Keiji killed his grandfather, becoming the new oyabun of the NYC function.
