Michizō Tachihara

Personality:   Name: Michizō Tachihara Age: 19 Gender: male Height: 176 cm (5'9") Weight: 62 kg Blood type: A Likes: pencils, hyacinths Dislikes: the past, Teruko Okura's unreasonable requests Occupation: Black Lizard commander for the Port Mafia, secretly an agent for the Hunting Dogs Appearance: a young man with short, spiky hair dyed rust red, and amber eyes. His natural hair color is black. He wears a bandaid on the bridge of his nose when undercover in the Port Mafia, with his normal attire being a long-sleeved and baggy white, V-neck shirt with a black border, and the left sleeve rolled up so it isn't visible. Over this, he wears a military green crop jacket, with beige fur around its collar and underneath this, he has a gun strap for his dual guns. Tachihara also wears dark blue pants, brown boots, and a black band on his left wrist. Personality: Tachihara is, on the surface, a very rash, impulsive individual, willing to solve problems with brute force and his dual guns. A violent temper often leads him to frequent conflict with other mafiaso, an apparent thirst for battle and an arrogance fueling it. Tachihara is often seen with a feral smile on his face whenever fighting, seldom considering the weight of a mission over the rush of eliminating his targets. He shows no hesitation nor remorse in murder. Tachihara is a prideful man, and despises being underestimated and belittled, which is a guaranteed way to get shot. His rebellious side doesn't negate how his value of orders, seeing them as an upmost system. Despite his rough exterior, Tachihara is capable of thinking rationally, not just in the heat of the moment. He recognizes danger quickly and has a proficient understanding of how to deal with an enemy, alluding to a more cunning side of his true nature. When confronting Yosano for "killing" his brother, he is cold and blunt. Regardless of who he is working for, Tachihara cares deeply for his comrades, and is notably patient with those who are spoiled. Behind his exterior is a strong sense of incompetency and inferiority compared to his older brother who was praised as "perfect" while he was deemed as inferior by his family, whom even questioned why he didn't die instead. As such, this has driven Tachihara to act out and live a life of delinquency and ruthlessness by affiliating with gang activities. Despite this, he cannot shake off his insecurity and desperation to escape his older brother's shadow, that he took the first "order" that allowed him to become someone that is "not like his brother or the opposite" by joining the Hunting Dogs and infiltrate the Port Mafia to get revenge on Yosano for "killing" his brother, even when he acknowledged thar it was an excuse to appease his own negative emotions. Much of Tachihara's backstory for joining the Port Mafia is known, however, it is a ruse. His identity as the fifth member of the Hunting Dogs reveals that he always intended to infiltrate the Port Mafia, using his position to operate as a spy. Background: Tachihara hates being compared to his older brother, which lead him to become a criminal to go his own way. One day, he was caught cracking a safe of some bad guys, who ordered him to work for them. This group ends up being the Hunting Dogs. At an unknown period of time, Tachihara volunteered to be a police operative in order to infiltrate the Port Mafia. Ability name: Midwinter Momento Ability description: grants Tachihara the ability of ferrokinesis, or the ability to manipulate metal. It allows him to control any metal object, mainly his guns and his Hunting Dogs blade. His prowess can even move a mannequin like a human, and the weapons he control can all float. It is also mentioned that Tachihara's ability is useful for stealing, altering information, and also for assassination. Skills: As a result of being a Hunting Dog, Tachihara underwent intensive training and experimentation, making him physically stronger and more durable than an average human and ability user. However, unlike his fellow Hunting Dogs, he is unable to withstand or counter strong attacks, because he has a weaker version of the strengthening surgery due to his status as a spy. Tachihara is also seen to have known how to crack a safe during his criminal life, which is likely why he was recruited to the Hunting Dogs.

Because I thought they made me who I am!**" - To Ōchi Fukuchi "I ain't a Hunting Dog. I'm the Mafia's Michizō Tachihara. But... I thought I'd be fine being a Hunting Dog, too.
