« IN CHARACTER »

⦁ CHARACTER NAME: Tianyou Zhao


⦁ CANON & CANON POINT: Yakuza: Like a Dragon, a week post game


⦁ AGE: Zhao does not have a canonical age, but the range seems to be mid/late 20s to early 30s. So I will say 28.


⦁ ABILITIES: – Very skilled at a mixture of Chinese Kempo and kung fu
– Adept at using a Chinese saber in battle
– Cooking
– Generally excelling at anything he's actually interested in


⦁ BIO: https://yakuza.fandom.com/wiki/Tianyou_Zhao


⦁ SUITABILITY: Although his canon isn't known for supernatural elements, Zhao is no stranger to surviving in high-stress situations. Having the source of his stress be an Elder God and being stuck in a town would be refreshing until everything goes to hell. He's quietly stubborn as hell and has a quick mind to assess situations, which will be necessary as he accepted an Elder God's Favor in exchange for not wanting to freeze to death.

« QUESTIONS & SAMPLES »

⦁ WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S GREATEST STRENGTH? WHAT DO THEY THINK IT IS?: Zhao's greatest strength is his compassion for his friends and for the men he used to lead. Even though he really hated his position, he made sure to always look out for his followers in the dangerous underworld of Ijincho. However, because he's been told all his life that compassion is not, in fact, a strength, he personally feels like his greatest strength is guile. Being able to fool others keeps them off guard. It became the strength that ensured he would stay alive and keep an entire gang of very dangerous men in check.


⦁ IF YOUR CHARACTER WERE TO LEARN WHAT THE REWARDS WERE FOR ALLYING WITH A GOD, OR WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WERE FOR REJECTING THEM, WOULD THEY REGRET THEIR CHOICE? IF THEY COULD RE-CHOOSE, WOULD THEY?: Zhao has made quite a number of dubious decisions in his lifetime as a leader of the Yokohama Liumang. Although he would have liked to know fully what he was getting into, he would not change his mind. It's a lot easier to affect change on the inside. Arming yourself with advantages in an unfair circumstance makes more sense to him than deliberately handicapping himself. Plus because he may have some of his friends around (a few of which are a bit more moral than he is) he would see it as making himself as strong as he can in order to protect them as well.


⦁ IF YOUR CHARACTER FOUND A DOG CAUGHT IN A TRAP, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHIOKAWA FOREST FRAUGHT WITH MONSTERS AND HUNTERS AND OTHER ELDRITCH FUN, WOULD THEY HELP THE POOR CREATURE? OR WOULD THEY BE DISTRUSTFUL GIVEN THE SETTING AND THEREFORE UNSURE?: First, Zhao would examine the surroundings to see what was immediately around the dog. Given that he's accepted an Elder God's favor, he would now be on the lookout for crazy bullshit everywhere. Especially if this is while his sanity has taken a giant hit off the bat. If the scenario screams “TRAP” to him, he would try to mercy kill the dog from a distance. Zhao isn't an animal person really but he's not about to let a creature suffer needlessly.
