Current Characters: None

Character: Jun Kohinata
Canon: Tokyo Xanadu (plus CRAU with Stella Fortuna and Upcycle, Stella Fortuna will be the dominant one)
Age: 17 (16 in canon but he's had a birthday)


Background Information: Tokyo Xanadu's wiki is a joke, so have a written up history!

As for his CRAU:
Upcycled: Jun was summoned to South Sister island to help with a situation involving a corruption force called The Silence. He worked with some priests to help with this situation, got paid in anime, and learned more about being a person. His memories of this time will be fuzzy, but he'll vaguely recall working with some priests who he grew very fond of and things like learning how to make s'mores and celebrating his birthday for the first time.

Stella Fortuna: A Genshin Impact-based game. Jun was summoned to an alternate version of Teyvat where he was requested by Forenus, a time god, to help out the people of Teyvat and help take down Celestia. He spent a year there, helping out with things similar to what happened in canon just with some slight variations due to it being an alternate version of Teyvat. His time there gave him a lot more experience in being a traveling holy knight, so he's become a bit more seasoned at his job. On the other hand, it's also made him even more reluntanct to involve himself in religious and political affairs of countries, as well as a bit more uncertain about his own identity'

It should be noted that while Genshin characters did exist in the world of Teyvat, I will have Jun only personally know the ones that were apped into the game and he interacted with (Zhongli, Hu Tao, Raiden Shogun). The rest of the characters he will only know of them if they're a well known figure in Teyvat (aka he'd know of Jean from her reputation as the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt, but he'd know nothing of Bennett). And since Seal Knights are accustomed to people not recognizing or remembering them, he'll likely just play dumb about past CR unless someone recognizes him.

Personality:
The simplest way to describe Jun is that he has two personas that he puts on depending on the situation: the high school student and White Shroud. You meet the student side of him first. He's introduced as one of Kou's normal friends at school, and in this persona he does seem very normal to the casual eye. He's down-to-earth, easy going, cheerful, and a bit nerdy. He doesn't have any of the strong personality traits that his friends exhibit. Truth be told, he's so normal that he's almost forgettable the moment he leaves a room. He's that person in your friend circle at school that you hung out with a lot, only to realize much later that you never learned anything of substance about him.

Not long after you meet him as White Shroud, the Seal Knight. As White Shroud, he couldn't be anymore different than his student persona. He's cold and aloof, keeping his interactions with people brief if not outright avoiding them altogether. Attempting to converse with him is difficult at best, as he brushes people off with uncaring words. Gravely serious, he only cares about accomplishing his mission and nothing else. If something falls outside his mission perimeters, he's quick to dismiss it. Essentially, he's as close as a human can get to an emotionless weapon.

The truth is, neither of these personas are exactly the "real Jun", nor are either complete lies either. Jun was raised to be a child soldier against a threat hidden from most of the world. The faction who raised him, Kronos Orden, were pretty extreme about it. Seal Knights are expected to be wholly devoted to the cause, in body and soul. Not only was something done to his body to give him superhuman abilities, but he was denied any chances to form a sense of self or emotional attachments - severely impairing his emotional development.

However, things started to change for him when he was sent to Morimiya for a long term mission. Posing as a high schooler during the day, Jun was exposed to something he'd never experienced before: normalcy. Day after day, he was exposed to new experiences that most kids his age would take for granted. Slowly over time, these experiences caused Jun to start to grow and change himself. The act he put on as his student persona became less of an act as a real personality began to form, and the friends he made became truly precious to him. When he fully realized he was changing, he decided to lean into it- to see what he could learn about himself. He'd observe behaviors that others would do, and try to mimic them himself to see if it felt right to him. Some would get discarded, while others would he'd keep.

The real Jun is a mix of his personas. He's serious about his work, but quick to joke around when he's not working. While he takes being a Seal Knight seriously, overall doesn't seem to take himself that seriously. He's confident in his abilities, but he doesn't have an ego about them. As long as his missions get completed, he's not too fussed over HOW they're completed.

One very notable personality trait that Jun has developed is that he is excessively kind, often going beyond what any person would normally do without thinking about it. An example is when he saw a playground ball floating in a lake. On a whim, he rented out a boat to retrieve it and was prepared to search all over to find the kid it belonged to. He doesn't have a deep reason for going so overboard with it, he just feels an impulse and follows it, often not understanding why other people are surprised he goes through so much hassle.

That said, he's still a bit of a troll. He enjoys creeping people out with scary stories and will tease people when the mood strikes him. He has no shame about dragging his friends into his nerdy hobbies either, whether it be forcing his friend to cosplay with him or sending them manga to read. And while he's grown to be a little more emotionally honest since his friends discovered his real identity, he's still full of secrets. He's skilled at lying and half-truths, often dancing around subjects.

Yet for all the growing Jun has done, he still has a lot of issues. Many emotions are still beyond his grasp, and the warped ideas he learned from the Orden still have a habit of popping up. Even though he's happy to work with others, he still has to reminded from time to time he's not alone. He struggles to connect with people due to a lifetime of avoiding emotional attachments, but the people he does manage to connect with he sees as incredibly precious.


Abilities & Inventory:
As a Seal Knight, Jun is essentially a living weapon. Among the Underground in the world, Seal Knights are considered the most powerful of the anti-Eclipse combatants. Jun is no exception to the rule, as he's shown able to single-handedly take down Greed strong enough to normally require entire teams of regular wielders. The methods to how they obtained this level of power is shrouded in mystery, though they claim they were acknowledged by God. Until canon says otherwise, I'm going to take this claim at face value.

His abilities are as followed:

Holy Sword: He can summon a giant holy sword, called Alka Regus, at will. Notably he can summon this sword even outside Eclipses (unlike other Soul Devices), and he says only Sealed are capable of wielding it.

Shroud: He can change into his Seal Knight uniform at will like a very prudish magical girl. The hood is enchanted to obscure his voice when it's up, though it'll malfunction if he's badly injured. The fabric is enchanted with light magic to further protect its wearer and probably repair itself considering it was still wearable after he was impaled.

Light Magic: In fights he uses powerful light-elemental magic to obliterate opponents. This includes a range of skills, but most notably is his ability to make HOLY RAIN OF DEATH.

Light Arrows/Bow: He can create shoot up to six normal sized light-arrows at once to fire at opponents, or one giant-sized one depending on his needs. He can also create a bow out of light big enough to use his sword as an arrow.

Teleportation: He can use magic to teleport himself and others. This only seems to work in the real world unless he takes the time to create a portal. It won't work for any areas that aren't allowed for plot reasons and he avoids using it in places he's never been since teleporting himself into a wall would suck.

Magic: He can cast various spells such as creating a fake sleeping version of himself, binding spells, tracking spells, a voice distortion spell - basically a bunch of random spells that would be handy for his line of work and/or plot convenient.

Regeneration: He can heal quickly from injuries, even fatal ones. He can heal up from being impaled in about 2 days- 1 day if he has the chance to relax and completely focus on healing. Smaller injuries will take a few hours, depending on the severity.

Enhanced abilities: Strength, speed, endurance, dexterity. He can parkour like no other and also wield a giant sword with one hand despite being tiny.

Enhanced Senses: He can pick up on presences of others, and whether or not they are hostile. He can also sense different types of magical/spiritual energies well enough to distinguish between them - even more so than other Underground people.

Fighting Abilities: He spent his whole life being trained to fight monsters so yeah he can throw punches. He is most proficient in swords and bows, but he can probably make do with what he has.

Seal: He has a seal mark on his arm that'll glow when activated. Mostly this is used as a form of ID to other Orden members, but should he get injured to the point of life threatening- it'll activate and blow up everything near him with very powerful light magic as a last-ditch effort to protect him.


As for his inventory, this would include his seal knight uniform, his sword (that he can summon), a cross, his phone (it's legit just a normal smartphone), and a Geo Vision- which I will cover in the question section since I have a question regarding that!

Suitability & Plans:
While Jun is emotionally stunted, he is someone that is heavily affected by the people around him. He's still developing his sense of self, so how much he leans towards acting human and acting like a seal knight highly depends on the people he meets and the experiences he goes through. With this iteration of Jun, he's been through a number of high demand settings -- he was expected to perform his duties as a Seal Knight. However Songerin would provide an interesting challenge for him since in order to accomplish the mission he can't just be a coldhearted knight-- he actually have to feel and grow as a person. Which I think could be potentially very good for him! And I'd like to explore that in the setting, and see what happens.

Also he's fun and I want to play him.

Test Drive Sample: Sample

Questions: So in Stella Fortuna he received a Geo Vision for his efforts. It's weaker than a true Vision that the Genshin characters has, but it still lets him summon rocks and manipulate geo energy to some extent. Is this a power he'd be allowed to have, or would it be depowered? I could go either way! I just couldn't find any information about it.

Thanks!
