Kairō

Kairō (狩威狼, Hunt, Majestic, Wolf), born Kyros Tavoularis (Κύρος Ταβουλάρης, キロス・タブラーリス, Kirosu Taburārisu) is a former 3rd Order Wizard of the Lancers Squad of Wing Bind. He is later imprisoned for his perceived treasonous acts, and after his conspiratorial release, starts the Pstryke War with his followers, the '''Aurans. '''

Appearance
Kairo has always been noticeable by his blue hair, which has only gotten darker since his release. While as a child and during his years as a Lancer he kept it short, allowing it to spike, his hair grew during his imprisonment, and he kept it that way after his release. During his time in Wing Bind, Kairo always kept clean shaven. However, after his release, he decides to grow a sharp goatee. Kario’s facial hair also grows blue.

Kairo has always been extremely muscular, and his immense pride saw him flaunting his muscles at every stage in his life. Most of his outfits were centered around his monstrously muscular body. As a Lancer, most of his coats and shirts exposed his abdominals, and as leader of the Aurans, Kairo’s only upper-body clothing was a jacket hung from his shoulders. While as a teenager and during his time in Wing Bind he was much more lean, his body seems to have grown during his imprisonment. Where his focus used to be his abdominals, now it seems to be his entire upper body.

As a teenager, Kairo preferred yellow and oranges. His main pair of pairs has leather padding sewn onto the thighs and shins, as did his jacket on its forearms. During his years as a Lancer, Kairo preferred deep reads, supposedly to offset the color of his hair. He wore tight pants and a tight buttoned down shirt in the years before his final deployment. During his final deployment, Kairo wore a dark red long coat with a wide, open collar. The bottom half of the long coat flared, and there were metal studs sewn into the forearms. After his release, he sports a look consisting gold shoes, white trousers, His white trench coat, stolen from his previous warden, hangs just on his shoulders, revealing its violet interior.

After his release, Kairo sports large tattoos across his chest, back, and forearms. While they are first assumed to be Magical or in some way related to his Pstryking, it is eventually revealed they are remnants of the Dragon Egg he was imprisoned in.

Personality
Kairo is a man who loves play, and loves battle, and often confuses the two. He is immensely sensitive, and can snap from playful to blood lusted like that.

In his youth, Kairo’s sensitivity could lead him to enter periods of depression, where he would rather just settling arguments with simple arm wrestles than all-out bouts. He would often wander and train during these periods.

After his release, Kairo’s primary trait seems to be his blood lust. His playfulness has translated into an intense desire to seek revenge on his imprisoners and seek out strong opponents. The playful confidence of his youth has become arrogance, though not unfounded, and he often mocks or trash talks his opponents.

That being said, this behavior only emerges in opponents he deems worthy of his strength. He has spats of nobility, where he won’t demolish opponents too far beneath him (how he determines this is unkown) and has said he is against the strong bullying the weak.

His periods of depression have grown into rage when he feels things aren’t going his way. While he sees this as a refusal to lose, other’s mark it as a temper tantrum, harkening back to Kairo’s childlike nature.

Equipment
Dragon Vein Restriction: After Kairo’s release from the Dragon’s Egg, he still retains remnants of its imprisoning power in the form of intricate tattoos across his chest, back, and arms. These Magical tattoos are the Dragon Vein Restriction (竜血限界限定, Dragon Blood Limit Restriction) designed to keep in check the monstrous power he developed while in the Egg. It is unknown who controls the restrictions.

Powers and Abilities
Rudimentary Martial Arts Knowledge: When it comes to official fighting styles, Kairo is unlearned. His fighting style comes from instinct, and is a rather direct, brutish approach to combat.

Pstryking
Kairo is a master Pstryker. He awakened his power instinctually, and uses it flawlessly to brew Reiryoku to improve his body, and emit Reiatsu to destroy the world around him.
 * Master Regenerator: In his younger years, Kairo was a master regenerator. He could Pstryke to keep himself alive when sustaining mortal injuries, and then Pstryke to heal from any wound as long as his Soul survived.
 * Peerless Durability: After his release from the Dragon Egg, Kairo had been able to Pstryke for long enough with enough focus, thus seemingly maxing out his physical capabilities. Compared to his younger years where he could regenerate from anything, now Kairo just seems to be able to take seemingly any attack with his bare skin.
 * Unknowable Spiritual Power: According to many of the Wing Bind captains, upon his release, Kairo is a being of unknown potential. Had he remained aligned with Wing Bind, he surely would have earned the title Excalibur, marking him as Wing Bind’s greatest asset against the Dragons, a Wizard of incomparable ability. In addition, it is known that Kairo’s monstrous strength is still under strain of a seal, as the Dragon Veins remain on his body after release from the Dragon Egg.
 * Master Reiatsu Control: Though as a Pstryker Kairo’s manipulative abilities are limited to his body and Soul, he is an instinctual master of pinpoint Reiatsu release, manipulating his Reiatsu vents into various positions on his body for various effects. In addition, his Reiatsu escalates with his Rage. It begins as a reddish color, and then burning brighter becomes blue and then finally white.


 * Victory Knife (ビクトリー・ナイフ), Bikutorī Naifu): A special punching technique used by Kairo, performed with a fist shaped with an extended middle knuckle. The impact is both powerful and sharp, and with Kairo’s immense strength it can be devastating. However, the physicality alone isn’t where the strength of this technique lies. Developed to fight spiritual entities, the Victory Knife is a compressed emission of Reiatsu from the extended knuckle, meant to be inserted violently into the opponents body. This disrupts the victim’s Reiryoku flow in the area of the attack. When used on Pstrykers, it restricts any further transformation or enhancement in the area before recovery.
 * Hōryūken (崩流拳, Flow-Crumbling Fist): The Hōryūken is a technique that Kairo designed to fight against Quincy and Fullbringer. To intiate the technique, Kairo emits a large volume of Reiatsu from his palm and fingers, compressing it in his grasp like he’s holding an orb. Kairo then swings a punch, and at the moment of impact, he clenches his fist, shattering and releasing the built up Reiatsu. This explosion releases like a shattering in the air, and functions similarly to the Victory Knife but on a larger scale. These Reiatsu shatter spread to the area surrounding the punch, and arrest the flow of spiritual particles in the area. As a result, it makes it much harder for Quincies to collect Reishi, and for Fullbringers to Bring the souls of matter.
 * Bloodlust: Like Kenpachi Zaraki, Kairo can send his thoughts on the waves of his Reiatsu, allowing him to use Bloodlust (殺気, Sakki). With his other-worldy Reiatsu levels and masterful Reiatsu control, his blood lust and spiritual intimidation alone make him a threat. In fact, what some consider his ultimate attack is not a physical ability at all, but his power to relay the hopeless of the fight based on his unknowable wealth of power through the use of sheer intimidation and emission of bloodlust.
 * Coming Volcano (来火山, Raikazan): An attack only named after the fact by D’Guul, Raikazan is supposedly the result of Kairo removing his Dragon Vein Restrictions, releasing his full power. It is a simple uppercut, enhanced by Kairo’s monstrous strength and Reiatsu. According to D’Guul, standing before it is akin to standing within an actively erupting volcano.

Trivia

 * Kairō himself is the only one who knows the kanji assigned to his new name. As a result, his followers and enemies after his imprisonment simply refer to him as Kairo (カイロ, Kairo).
