• Takahisa Kandori has no close family and one well-known half-brother.
• Under great stress, Kandori is known to display disturbing phenomena such as sudden strength or the secretion of ectoplasm. It is also suggested that part of his appearance as an unscarred and upright figure is faked - as the manifestation of scars when his powers and endurance are taxed has been known to happen.
• In times of dire necessity, Kandori has displayed the ability to cloak his form temporarily in that of another or manifest something akin to invisibility. The precise method is little known and it happens rarely.
• He has one pet, a 7 month old dog named Damocles. It was bought from an expensive snobby kennel and is a golden lab with a distinctive birthmark above its nose.
• Takahisa Kandori is fluent in both his native tongue and in English, with enough conversation French and German to get by as he's had interactions with speakers of both languages. He can bark restaraunt orders or commands in a further five.
• Takahisa Kandori is a frequent insomniac.
• To cope with insomnia, he has picked up a number of esoteric skillsets:
  • Cooking (usually from an artistic approach though flavor is important and he tends toward sweets)
  • The forging of metal goods and materials. (He has often had cause to do this in the process of some mystic imbuing ritual or another, but also finds it a suitable symbol. He tries to forge his own weapons but sometimes needs advice or consults with those who have time to forge things every day of their lives).
  • Kareoke. (This has happened on-grid just once.))
  • Geocaching. (This has caused five deaths. First to find MEANS first to find.)

"Haven't you ever kicked a sandcastle over? Remember how it felt?"

Profile: Takahisa Kandori is a perfectly respectable businessman and the head of the Saeki Electronics & Biological & Energy Corporation, SEBEC for short. He's charming, if a touch detached. He's respected and envied by those who think they are his peers for his success and his control over others. He does not operate SEBEC so much as he rules it from on high as its lord and master. Few things go on within the company he is neither aware of nor in some way involved with directly. Very few people would ever imagine that he is a practically a monster wearing human skin.

Skills: As Above So Below, Do Not Pick Up What You Cannot Put Down, The Man Gendo Ikari Is A Pale Imitation Of, Destroying Other Peoples' Children, The Man In Black, Taking Your Id For A Joy Ride, The Man With A Magnifying Glass, Guess Who The Ant Is, Doesn't Wear Sunglasses At Night (Yet)

Special: Eternal Black - Kandori calls on the shadow in everyone's soul to rebel and flow into the area, creating a localized field of cloying, clawing negative energy that attacks from within and without simultaneously in a storm of Darkness.

Kandori's Persona is a tiny shard of something too great for ANY living being to contain, though Kandori can hold an appreciable fraction - the Crawling Chaos. The essence of destructive force is, through Kandori's focused personality - made into a slightly chaotic force in favor of reforging the world anew. The power is his to do with, and he's cognizant of the price, which is not too high considering he'd be doing the kinds of things asked of him one way or another.

• PERSONA IS NOT MANIFEST: No resonance detectable, ordinary businessman. In this state, Kandori himself is resonance blind as well. He can detect no weird resonance bullshit as the Haunter nests in his soul, gathering strength for its eventual freedom.
• PERSONA IS MANIFESTING OR ACTING: Kandori's resonance is the chaotic bombast of temptation - ideas, images, all appealing yet terrifying, surround him like a field proportional in strength to the degree of power he's exerting. He gains awareness of all nearby active Personas, but in exchange all - even the most resonance blind - find themselves able to see his exact location if they wish to, enabling him to track people but also to be tracked, and making it impossible for him to hide while in action - the chaotically rotating eye of the Haunter resonates too close to everyone's souls to be hidden from or hidden by most things barring active attempts to thwart spotting.

• 0. The Fool
  • Tohru Adachi: Tohru Adachi is a crooked cop working with the NWO when it suits him. Too low on the totem pole to be called on much, he was involved with KNOWS, and Kandori (in keeping with the Evil Overlord List) has arranged for him to be well paid and used relatively infrequently. Kandori has never shown any sign of knowing Adachi's dual nature.
