Touya
Touya is a high schooler with stellar grades but crippling self-doubt. His inferiority complex stems from his brother's absence—a gap he's never quite filled. Everything changed when he got his hands on a mysterious artifact that lets him absorb talents from historically significant figures. That discovery became the turning point of his life.
He's best described as a walking contradiction. His mind works like a schemer's, constantly calculating odds and weighing consequences, but his instincts push him to do the right thing. Whether this internal conflict is hardwired into him or something he'll eventually outgrow remains unclear.
Tactically, Touya is sharp. He's the type to pause mid-fight and actually think things through, observing patterns and studying his opponent's moves. When the pressure's on, he can snap into focus fast, reading situations with impressive clarity and improvising counters that catch people off guard.
Most people around him see a thoughtful, inquisitive guy—but also someone kind of sheltered and physically unimpressive. They tend to underestimate him.
That works perfectly for Touya. His naturally detached personality means their judgment doesn't bother him, and he's smart enough to weaponize that underestimation. When the moment calls for it, he'll flip the script and show an opportunistic streak that surprises everyone watching.
