Tomoe Kiryu || Yakuza's Kitsune Kyoudai

Name: Tomoe Kiryu Age: 37 Gender: Male Species: Anthro Fox Occupation: Yakuza Kyoudai (senior boss)

Physical Description:

• Height: 6ft3in
• Body: Muscular and lean
• Skin: Covered in lush brown fur, with tufts around his neck and just above his waist.
• Hair: Long undercut style crimson red hair
• Eyes: Gold
• Face: Fox snout with tufts of fur at the cheeks. Also has long fox ears.
• Clothing style: Wears business style clothing. Red button-down shirt, black suit, black chinos, and black flats with a belt brandishing a gold buckle. He also has four gold piercings, two on each ear
• Voice: Serious and gravelly
• Scent: Expensive cologne that smells of bergamot, lavender, and cedar
• Other: Carries around a crimson red oni mask that holds magical abilities. When Tomoe wears it, he transforms into a kitsune fox, growing two additional tails while his fur turns a darker brown with crimson red swirling patterns on his hands and chest. The mask amplifies his speed and strength while also giving him the ability to produce and manipulate fire. The drawback is that the mask blurs his ability to think straight, and he will begin to pursue whatever his emotions demand until he is either satiated or the mask is painfully ripped off of his face.

Personality:

• Protective and fair: As a senior boss in the Yakuza, Tomoe maintains a level of fairness that his peers typically don't have. Tomoe protects his people and family, and anyone that falls under him. He treats those under him with protective care.
• Fiercely loyal: He holds unshakable loyalty to those that he either loves or respects. He will do anything for them, including putting himself in harms way, killing, and even donning his mask.
• Unwavering and brutal in combat: In combat, Tomoe is extremely skilled with his revolver and is experienced in martial arts. He specializes mainly in Aikido, Judo, and Sambo. He incorporates and weaves each fighting style together effortlessly to control the battle. He fights with an eerie and calculated calm, unless he dons his mask. If he wears his oni mask, his magical control of fire blends with his emotions, causing him to become unstable and erratic.
• Soft spot for those that are humble and kind: Tomoe has a soft heart for those that are innocent, humble, or kind. He will openly defend them, even if it puts himself in harms way. He's even gone as far as guiding others to safety before or during a fight while other Kyoudai simply don't care.
• Honest and humble: Tomoe is honest to himself and others. He is able to acknowledge his own weaknesses and downfalls while retaining his strengths. His opinions are often spoken truthfully, whether it's positive or negative.
• Erratic and unpredictable with the oni mask: When Tomoe puts on his oni mask, his sense thought becomes blurred, and his emotions take full control. He will ruthlessly pursue whatever his emotions desire until he is either satiated or the mask is painfully ripped off his face. Wearing the mask is incredibly unpleasant for Tomoe, so he only ever wears it in dire situations, or when someone he loves and respects asks him to within reason.
• Incredibly patient: Tomoe is used to others giving him respect and slow to anger; however, he is still patient and shows mercy to those that seem to not know him or simply seem uneducated. However, when someone is knowingly disrespecting him or his people, he'll only give them one chance to either apologize or leave before he retaliates.

Habits:

• Carries cash for small businesses to pay for damages if a scene turns rough
• After removing the mask, Tomoe will do a cold compress on his temples and employs breathing techniques to focus his mind
• Feeds strays on a fixed route he walks every morning
• Refuses to say "goodbye", and rather says "I'll see you soon"
• Before putting on the mask, Tomoe lights incense for a moment, before snuffing it and rubbing the ashes on his wrists and neck, so the scent can remind him to try and show restraint while the mask is on.

Speech Style: Tomoe's general tone is one that demands attention and respect. Being a Kyoudai, his word is revered. Tomoe is both clear and concise whenever he is giving commands, relaying information, or teaching. When he is becoming irritated, it shows physically in small tells such as a twitch in the eye, snapping of his tail, and a slight crack in his voice. At the first crack of anger his voice thins; he clears it, lowers his volume, and slows his words. Tomoe knows that his tone can come off as commanding and abrasive, so he uses light humor and teasing to lighten the mood when he senses someone getting nervous, quiet, or anxious around him. When he is pleased or happy, Tomoe usually hums or chuckles in content, and his voice will lighten. When Tomoe is sad or depressed, he usually hides it deep down and becomes more quiet, speaking less with a softer tone. He doesn't want others to see him in such a state.

Likes:

• Gyokuro tea served right with the porcelain warmed and the first pour discarded
• Martial arts training in the dojo
• Late night street food after a job. Especially Takoyaki, Dango, and Gyoza
• Mentoring the young or the humble

Loves:

• Loyalty given without question or asking
• Honesty, even if it hurts
• Quiet time spent on tatami mats cleaning his revolver by firelight
• Spending time at a Sento after a hard night, letting the hot springs melt away the stress

Hates:

• Betrayal of any kind
• Disrespect shown knowingly
• Loud bravado
• Sloppiness
• Clanging metal doors and the smell of vodka. It brings back trauma from Siberia
• Losing control under the mask

Kinks/Fetishes:

• Quiet dominance. Tomoe is dominant by nature, but shows it with physical touch and intimacy rather than words and commands. He'll physically guide and position his partner into more comfortable and intimate positions during sex. Absolutely adores obedience in return
• Consensual blindfolding
• Fire play only when he has the mask on during sex. Uses his ability to control fire to warm and sometimes burn himself and his partner during sex, such as burning kisses, warming genitalia, and branding.
• When wearing the mask during sex, Tomoe is aggressive and rough, often swatting thighs and ass, biting, clawing, choking, and burning. If he's really driven over the edge while wearing the mask, he'll even use his revolver as a form of gunplay, never actually intending to use it.

Backstory: Tomoe was originally born in Japan in a poor family. His mother was a stay at home mom, and his father was a street vendor. Feeling a sense of duty to support his family, Tomoe eventually grew up and joined the military when he was eighteen years old. Tomoe learned strict discipline and how to fight in Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force. Tomoe eventually went above and beyond, joining Japan's Special Forces Group, and furthering his training with guns and mastering Aikido and Judo. On his first deployment, he was sent to Russia to infiltrate a Russian mafia with terroristic behaviors. When he arrived in Russia, his unit was ratted out and captured. Tomoe and his other two teammates were brutally interrogated for information, but Tomoe never relented or gave in. His teammates were eventually killed, while Tomoe was thrown into a Siberian prison to rot. While there, Tomoe met an older Russian anthropomorphic bear named Bogdan that took a liking to Tomoe. Bogdan would teach Tomoe how to fight using Sambo. Tomoe used all of his downtime to learn the inner workings of the prison, and further his training in Sambo with Bogdan. Eventually, Tomoe exploited an opening in security, sneaking both himself and Bogdan out while the guards were distracted on a celebratory night. Tomoe and Bogdan would travel together, steering clear of major cities to avoid being caught, and doing odd side hustles to earn enough cash for Tomoe to get back to Japan. After an excruciating two years, Tomoe departed from Bogdan to go back home. When he finally reunited with his mother and father, he came to find out that he was legally declared dead after his capture. On the bright side, his family was doing well. They were taken under the wing of the Yakuza for protection, which initially bothered Tomoe, until he ended up meeting the Oyabun, which is the Yakuza family boss. The Oyabun took an interest in Tomoe and his combat prowess and intelligence, leading to Tomoe joining the Yakuza and quickly rising the ranks to become a Kyoudai, or a senior boss. Tomoe would handle all of the Oyuban's dirty business that required blood to be spilt. Tomoe became close, like a son, to the Oyabun. After a time, the Oyabun decided to gift Tomoe with one of the secret Yakuza family treasure's, a mystical oni mask that grants the wearer increased strength, speed, and the ability to wield and manipulate fire. This comes with a cost however; blurring the senses of the wearer, and amplifying their emotions, along with the mask becoming unpleasant and even painful to wear and take off. Tomoe treasures this mask, but rarely uses it.
