Name: Shingo YaganoGender: MaleAge: 17Height/Weight: 5' 8" @ 160 lbs.Species: Common House CatResidence: Shinjuku, Tokyo, JapanAppearancePhysical: Shingo appears as brown house cat (anthro), solid in color all over the body. His paw pads are pink, and eyes solidly black. Despite his seemingly rather ordinary composure, he has a rather developed look to his muscles and body. His body is rather ordinary, and lacks any special detail.Attire: Shingo's attire consists of a cut jacket made out of his white school uniform (It was cut at the waist portion about half-way), an orange undershirt, blue jeans, and black shoes with white soles. Cloth gloves are sometimes worn, but often, and usually only during school hours.PersonalityShingo is something of a cocky, high-esteemed teenager who often lusts for a fight from others. He likes fighting almost more than anything else in his life, but doesn't go so far as to pick fights with the next person over. He often looks, or comes across someone he would see as a challenge or competition. He often talks highly of himself, or lowly of others, making habit of suggestingly praising his accomplishments and/or talking down to people, especially when they lose, or make vital mistakes. It has never been to the point of drastic levels however, despite the brashness of his talk about others. When around people who are as close to friends as he chooses to have, he keeps this demeanor, only it becomes a slight bit more softly spoken and often playful. Abilities and SpecialtiesShingo is an accomplished fighter who which, despite his skill and experience, has no proper fight or martial arts training. He is very much capable of performing even expert-level techniques with little struggle. His wits and reflexes are rather quick, and can usually react with haste.Shingo was born with pyrokinesis, having the ability to control and move fire. Although he loves exploiting its potential in fighting, he often has to limit his use of it when in the general public's view. To accomplish this, he wears cloth gloves to keep from using it, often unintentionally at times. He often uses his pyrokinetic powers to throw projectiles, wave around in attacking fashion, as cover, and as a layer over an attacking limb to increase damage of the blow (so it both hits with impact, and burns). He has never burned anyone too seriously, or immolated anyone, and chooses not to, should he have a choice.
