Personality traits

Likes:
-A satisfied Customer since even though hes a crime boss, he still wants his business to do well so a happy customer never fails to put kurezai into a good mood
[size=10]-His father. Kurezai has deep respect for his father who still comes around to visit his bar every once in a while, even if he is 55 and has given up in crime so that he can have a slower life.
[size=10]-A good brawl. Kurezai never shys away from a fight and is always willing to put em up; even if the fight ends up more pointless than making an ape tipsier than the average redneck

Dislikes:
[size=10]-Being interrupted. he Hates being interrupted by anyone no matter their ranking in society. he generally hates rude people but being interrupted by a snob is DEFINETLY where he draws the line.
[size=10]-Business rivals. The people who seek to take down his business really grinds his gears and puts him a bit on edge, no-ones ever succeded in this but there is one who is getting close...
[size=10]-fakers. There are plenty of people who act like yakuza such as him, which he wouldnt mind so much if it wasnt for the fact that they make him and his partners look like absolute idiots so to show his "appreciation" he tends to headbutt them on site... Cant blame him honestly.

Personality:
Kurezai at his core is a bold and sarcastic hedgehog who hails from station square (dunno if i can get away with that =p)he has a good and merciful heart but that doesnt stop him from doing whats best for the future of his bar, the bar he runs is the most important thing kurezai currently holds in his life as it was given to him when he was 20 by his father as a test of him street knowledge and academic knowledge, kurezai performed well, leading his father to give him the bar, ever since that day kurezai has cherished it and makes it his goal in life to make the bar reach its full potential. at first glance kurezai comes off like an unlikeable man with nothing but his career in mind, but he does value things outside of the business such as his many friends and of course father. kurezai has a deep fear of hights and will start to feel un-nerved after just a few stories, if he goes to high up he would either pass out or feel incredibly nauseous, this is because when he was a young boy he was playing in the overhang of his apartment with his old father when he accidentally fell off, he landed in a tree but the feeling of helplessness he felt as he careened through the air was the most terrifying thing he had ever felt, so tends not to go high up because of this. he is also incredibly paranoid that someone is going to overtake and control his business, to the point that the possibility of it makes him have a panic attack due to his fear of dissapointing his father, even though his father has told him that no matter what happens to the bat he will always care for him. the best thing about kurezai as described by his fellow criminal associates is that he has unmatched perserverance driven by his own self worth and a want to make his bar the best in the world. kurezais biggest flaw is that apart from his insecurity about the bars success and his fear of heights is that he tends to overthink alot of scenarios and always gets the worst outcome to reach his mind with out much thought to their validity. kurezai makes friends and alliances relativly easily except when, of course, his bar is involved in which case he will be very defensive and incredibly agressive but if explained that they want to work with him, they have guaranteed a friendship with kurezai, they just need to make sure they dont backstab him otherwise they will be massacred and left near dead outside his bar, and his mood wont improve for a whole month.
[size=16]Combat traits

Powers:
kurezai wields a weapon know as a taemor and it has two different modes that can be utilised, nuclear mode and bat mode, each with a distinct finishing move. the first mode that kurezai uses in the bat mode, in this mode the weaponon reselmbles a hexagonal shaped baseball bat with a rounded base, in this form its weilded like well... a baseball bat, this bat is made out of iron and the hilt contains lead so that he gets a stronger strikes and to conceal a chunk of plutonium which is used for his taemors nuclear mode. the two finishing moves to the bat form is the home run and the head-butt-runner-up. the home run is when kurezai uses all of his strength and buts in into one massive swing aiming for the ribs with intent to shatter them, its a move thats hard to dodge but not impossible but if dodged gives the opponent time to deliver a strong counterattack. the second mode for the taemor is called nuclear mode and is where kurezais combat comes into its own, the draw of nuclear mode is its laser known as the glowstick. the glowsticks main use is for enviroment manipulation by cutting the enviroment to fit kurezais needs, this can range from cutting holes in the wall for easier traversal or the drop objects onto an opponent. the finishing move for this form is called the nucleoball. this is when kurezai charges the taemor for 10 seconds and then releases it, by charging the laser it has formed into a meter wide ball that can be fired like a projectile at enemies, it can be more easily dodged but when hit with its effects are far more potent as it burns the opponent very badly and potentially hospitalising them. the laser part of nucleat mode works off the hardness of an object instead of its toughness, so while it can cut through objects like cloth, iron and even carbon nanotubes like butter, hard surfaces like osmium it had trouble with and stands no chances against precious gems as they halt the beam in its tracks. if kurezai happens to be without his taemor he is still not helpless as he cant still hold his own in close combat, specialising in knee and elbow strikes in order to ground the opponent and do what gansters to best, stomp, kick and abuse their opponent while their down like theirs no tomorrow. there is a downside to his taemor, mainly its nuclear form, if used for extended periods of time it could potentially explode with the force of a nuke so kurezai needs to be hyper careful with the taemor because if he isnt everything he has known and loved will be oblitereated... provided their within a 20 meter radius otherwise their porbably gonna be fine.

Strengths:
-physical strength. kurezai is stronger than the average hedgehog and as such can usually beat average hedgehogs in street fights with and without his taemor.
[size=10]-negotiation. kurezai can quite efficently negotiate with opponents who are much stronger than him into better positions for himself and his friends.
[size=10]-enviromental manipulation. this is easily the greatest advantage kurezai has in a fight, as it opens up multiple doors for strategy and allows for kurezai to deal damage in ways most other hedgehogs cant.

Weaknesses:
[size=10]-strategy. kurezai does not often employ strategy in his fights and most oftenly uses his beam to beat opponents quickly and effectively, so opponents that require complex strategys to beat, kurezai wont be able to cope with therefor he will try to negotiate with them, if this fails hes as good as doomed.
[size=10]-fear of heights. kurezai is incapeable of combat at a height due to nausea so if an opponent gets him to a height hes incapacitated from nausea so he will be easy pickings for even the weakest of hedgehogs.
[size=10]-Insults. if an insult is directed to either kurezais bar or his father, especially his father he will undoubtably go into a rage and will try his hardest to take the down his opponent, this can be good for him as he will try more abstract strategys but this requires use of his laser which he can easily be baited into using for a long time thus blowing himself up from nuclear energy.

Positive relations
-Mr Macademia. kurezai knows alot of criminals but the one that consistently comes to mind and is his best friend is a drug lord known as mr macademia, he runs a cartel dealing in a drug called macademia which is a hallugenigetic similar to lsd but made from macademusa berries found in jungles. he met him about 8 years ago when mr macademia came into his bar for a drink and ever since then they have been good friends.
[size=10]-Malkovitch. another good friend of kurezai is his supplier only known as malkovitch who supplies him with alcohol and other such supplies he needs for the bar. he met malkovitch through his father when he was 10 and malkovitch was like an uncle at the time, this became friendship when kurezai inherited his fathers bar.
[size=10]-konran sonzai. shortened to konzai, konran sonzai is the adopted father to kurezai and values him above all else. konzai originally gained the bar when he was 20 and when he was 25 adopted kurezai in order to give his life as a crime boss some normalcy, when he was 45 he gave kurezai the bar to look after as he had decided to give up crime and and attempt to give himself the normalcy he always craved in his youth. now 55, he spends his days walking and living in an apartment working as a office worker, every once in a while visiting kurezai at the bar to catch up,but mainly to see his son, the greatest achievement in his life.

Negative relations[/u]
[size=10]-del rio. del rio is an argentinian fox who moved to station square after his efforts to start a drug ring in argentina went horribly, when in station square he picked a fight with kurezai in order to gain some cash and start a drug ring, he was hospitalised and almost gave up in crime until he was struck up a deal by some teenagers to start their own gang, del rio jumped at the oppertunity and after a year, he became powerful enough to give kurezai and mr macademia cause for concern, with his main objective to take kurezais bar and burn it to the ground, he is still trying to this day, causing the odd panic attack for kurezai but this drives him and in a strange way makes him happy because now hes got a challenge, del rio thinks kurezai has stopped playing when in reality, kurezai hasnt even begun to play...
[size=10]-caen flare. he is currently being trained by caen flare to get better with in-combat strategys but he is having disagreements with caens attitude so they tend to butt heads but they have mutually agreed not to escalate this into violence as they respect each other, kurezai for caens strategy and caen for kurezai's physical abilities.
