Difference between revisions of "Yukio Fujii"

Yukio Fujii is an angry young man, ready to take on the world. Haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his twin sister, he's channeled his energies into violence. As a rookie pro wrestler, he fights for Sumaru's POWER-7 promotion as the masked heel RAID. For extra money, he does bare-knuckle street fighting. On top of all this, he's a part-time student at Sumaru U, majoring in business. Despite these cutthroat pursuits and a truly abysmal temper, Yukio is capable of being a friendly, if awkward, person -- albeit one who seems to have absolutely no idea how to pick up a girl.

Background

Asterion is the Minotaur of Greek myth, the true name of the monster at the center of the Cretan labyrinth, child of of a female human and a male bull. Owing to his unnatural, incompletely human nature, Asterion grew savage, and fed on the flesh of humans. Minos, King of Crete and Asterion's foster father, exiled him to the center of a great maze, from which he could never escape. Every seven years, seven virgin boys and seven virgin girls were sent to the center of the maze, to be eaten by Asterion as sacrifice. When the hero Theseus arrived in Crete, he volunteered to slay the minotaur, and with the help of Asterion's sister Ariadne, did just that.

When Asterion manifests as Yukio's persona, it's not uncommon for him to be drooling blood. He stands around ten or eleven feet tall (not counting horns), and is disturbingly anatomically correct -- and worse, nude.

Resonance

Yukio's resonance is powerful like a stench. His oft-surging anger guides it: typical sensations include intense heat, the smell of fresh blood, the screams of children, the taste of human flesh, and a general sense of confusion and dislocation, as if one had suddenly found oneself in, appropriately, a maze.

• Alistair Crawford: Alistair presented himself as some kind of playboy operator-type at a party. Yukio isn't sure he trusts him, because the last time he did trust him, it ended with Yukio walking up to a police detective and claiming to be her gigolo for the evening.

• Tatako Kinoshita: Yukio doesn't really know Tatako per se, but while doing a promotional appearance as RAID, he did a bit of audience-participation with her, insulting Port Island and gently pushing her around. She was a good sport.

• Eien Seida - Yukio has crossed paths a couple times with Seida-san, mostly presenting himself as some kind of gibbering idiot. They teamed up, kind of, during a Dark Hour in Yumezaki Ward, which ended with her pride hurt and him clueless, as usual.

• Rica Eikoudan (Reverse): Because of Yukio's ongoing feud with organized crime, Rica was sent around Yukio's place to break his legs. After ambushing him as he was getting out of the shower, the two proceeded to destroy both his apartment and a neighbor's in the course of a fistfight, until Yukio bashed a toaster oven into Rica's skull in a way that made him initially think he'd killed her.
• Masahiko Irie: When Masahiko Irie, a powerful Yakuza figure, attempted to speak to Yukio about the problems between Yukio and his crime family, Yukio's response was to headbutt the young don and accept his challenge of a fight. That is how that social link is going.
• Thora Kobayashi (Reverse): Thora was the most vociferous person in the crowd as a RAID promotional appearance, heckling and screaming for blood, blood, blood. Maybe they will meet again. Maybe there... will be blood.

• Shion Katsuragi (Reverse): Yukio made an ass of himself to Shion at a party once by simultaneously presenting himself as "a male prostitute" and "a retarded."

• Tatsuya Sudou (Reverse): Fuck that guy and fuck his crusty eye-hole too.

• Kichiro Higa (Reverse): Kichiro bumped into Yukio once and Yukio almost knocked him the fuck out over it. That is how Yukio rolls.
