Character InfoName: Kenji Jianyu
Race: Magical Human
Sex: Male
Age: Fourty-five
Faction: Leader of New Magic
Power: Kenji, like his renowned father before him, is also a Tecnopath and it's clear that, through his training, he will even surpass his father's skills. Kenji’s Techonpathy manifests in a more psychic way where he mentally connects to the machinery, almost talking to it rather than telekinetically altering the programs. Information from whatever technology Kenji is focusing on feeds into his mind directly and Kenji can channel his powers back into it. By “talking” through code Kenji can understand most computers and databases. This connection, however, is starting to go wrong as sometimes, especially when communicating with the supercomputer, Kenji’s actions are not of his own will but of the machine’s desire… *cue Twilight Zone music*
Rune or code: 18, 6, 7
18- One is associated with masculine energy. They make great leaders, are ambitious, but on the downside they can be demanding and are usually selfish. Combined with 8, representing business, success, and wealth. This number represents a driven and capable leader, but one who can be power-hungry, a workaholic, and/or materialistic.
6- Love; harmony; sincerity. Its energies are patient and calm, as it reveals our options. Generally peaceful; peace makers; non-judgmental; caring. Asks for enlightenment; specifically "lighting" the path in areas we require spiritual and mental balance. Sixes beckon us to administer compassion and consciously choose forgiveness in a situation.
7- Mystery; magic; the esoteric and scholarly pursuits. With sevens, there are always deeper meanings or hidden information is trying to be revealed. Representative of scholarly activities, mystery, and the focused search for esoteric meanings. Seven deals with the activation of imagination and manifesting results in our lives through the use of conscious thought and awareness. It is a strong ESP number, as it is representative of the power of the mind and the unveiling of secret knowledge.
Appearance: Kenji is the epitome of polished business man. He wears clean, pressed, suits daily, no matter what the temperature is outside- though, let’s face it, Kenji doesn’t go outside that often. His shoes are polished, his face and body well groomed, and there is always that look in Kenji’s eyes that he knows everything about you, making the man a little intimidating to certain people. Kenji’s face is starting to show his age through wrinkles and greying hair, but the man’s oriental features are aging well and he is still considered handsome, regal almost, by women.
Personality: The leader of the ESP is a driven man with many secrets. He is the only one to know all of the supercomputer's secrets yet he will not admit that some things are even blocked out for him. This is a fact that infuriates the man and anyone who is foolish enough to question his information or ability suffers the punishment (with help of one of Kenji’s guards, of course, the Boss doesn’t get his own hands dirty.) Not even Kenji’s wife and son know everything he does and they are sure to keep it that way.
The Boss is a man of little words to other people and prefers to “talk” to the supercomputer instead. There are rumors that Kenji is started to get addicted to the machine and the supercomputer is controlling him instead of the other way around. Those who whisper those rumors are often…changed…the next day.
Like a proper CEO of a business company, Kenji is ruthless and sharp. Things need to be done and he expects them to be done promptly, without complaining. Kenji has access to every Code ever implanted onto an ESP and is able to find them wherever they may be. And if this is something, or someone, out there that Kenji wants, he will have it in the end. Above all else, Kenji is calculating and cool- his anger masked behind a refined iciness. There are times when the Boss explodes but it is in private and normally around his family (which, as you can imagine, isn’t exactly helping out his family relationship.)
Kenji cares little about the past, after all, the ESP's are all about the future. He doesn't order the death of Elementals because he wants vengeance, no, for Kenji the Elementals are a road block for ESP progress. The Elemental's old ways and magic would only slow the ESP's down.
Those ESP who are loyal to Kenji are always well rewarded.
Strengths: Tactical, business savvy, powerful Tecnopath, leader of the ESP, not afraid to make sacrifices (of other people), knows all Codes, both feared by his people and admired.
Weaknesses: Ruthless, family issues, is starting to be affected by the supercomputer’s powers, doesn’t lead through love, secretive, dictator, and doesn’t know everything about the supercomputer.
Biography: Kenji's father, Hakkai Jianyu, was a renowned tecnopath who fist settled the ESP into the Skyscraper, building their advance fortress with the use of his powers and the supercomputers. No one questioned that when the old man (86 years old) passed away that the leadership was passed to Kenji. The ESP do not vote for their leader- it just happens and is never questioned. Kenji slid into his father’s shoes with no qualms, like he had been preparing for it since the day he was born.
Kenji is a control freak, needing to know what’s happening with everything and everyone in the Skyscraper. He uses the people loyal to him to gather this information, rewarding them well if they succeed and punishing them harshly if they don’t. Somewhere along the lines Kenji did marry and have a son, but those facts in his life are trivial to him and Kenji’s son resents him for that. His wife understands it’s not her place to come before the wellbeing of the ESP population and their company.
The Boss rarely leaves the Skyscraper himself personally, relying heavily on his loyal employees to do his dirty work. Most of the time Kenji can be found in business meetings or down in the lower levels with the supercomputer. Lately, the supercomputer has been affecting Kenji in strange ways that will unfold as the roleplay continues.
Kenji was fifteen when the Great Betrayal happened but he rarely thinks about it, or his home world, at all. Everything is for the future.
Other: Kenji is the leader of the ESP faction, known colloquially as “The Boss”
