Haru
"I won't be a burden! I can fight, too!"
Even to his classmates, Haru Sakuraba is an enigma. Nobody really knows anything about his life before he transferred into Justice as a freshman one year ago, not even where he came from or even if "Haru Sakuraba" is his real name. Shy and studious, all most people know of him is that he's fond of yoyo tricks and cooking and consistently gets top scores on his exams. This might be why plenty of people are confused at the high school sophomore's rumored entry into the world of professional fighting. Those who've seen him fight report that the unassuming Haru uses a highly tactical style, adapting to his opponent's attacks. Of course, why would a shy nerd suddenly start street fighting...?
| Style: | Adapted Sakuraba Meteor Arts |
| Signature Move: | Moonstone Tenacity -- ENERGY COUNTER |
| Signature Ability: | ANALYSIS -- CLARITY |
Background
[ Relevant OOC Info ]
Haru's psychic powers come, like a handful of other psions, from his being host to the inherited soul of a divine being (in his case, the bodhisattva Guanyin). His particular ability is psychometry: the ability to read someone's thoughts or past history through physical contact. This is why he wears full-coverage clothes and gloves, and fights with a weapon rather than his raw fists.
[ IC Info ]
Haru Sakuraba is a second year at Justice High. He is from the Ryukyu Islands, where his family have run successful businesses for many years. However, shortly before beginning high school, he had a falling out with his family and now lives full time in Southtown, even when Justice High isn't in session. Through various adventures he fell in with the Psycho Soldiers and is now counted among their number, doing his best to learn how to control and understand his powers.
Shy, studious, and an absolute dork, Haru went completely unnoticed by his Justice peers for the first year and a half of his high school career. When he began professional fighting, however, he attracted surprising (to him anyway) positive attention and has begun to blossom a bit socially since then, making more friends. He greatly idolizes Athena and Kensou, his teammates.
