Enomoto, Yoichi

[attr="class","temptitle"]Personality

[attr="class","temptabinf"]Yoichi is a laid-back and confident guy, seemingly easy to approach. He loves to have a drink or two with some companions, especially when he gets to snack on some Mochi from Japan. However, he hates to be touched by those he doesn't really know despite how flirtatious or alluring he can be at times. He can be really empathetic towards those he decides he likes, wanting to help them to the best of his advantage He honestly dislikes any stalkers that he either gets or that others acquire.

He can be a bit standoffish towards strangers, but eventually can warm up to them and even tolerate touches from those he has warmed up to. However, he can get easily jealous and overprotective over those he gets close to. He especially seems to hate the fact that someone would "choose" someone else over him, and thus gets rather angry or sulky about it. He can be rather gluttonous as well, seeing how as he grew up he wasn't all that rich until after his mother had married his step-father. He just can't seem to help wanting to eat as much as possible. Though, when he gets into a confrontation or fight, he can become pretty cocky if not fierce due to his own training over the years after joining the Yakuza and his pyrokinesis ability as well.

He seems to constantly smell like smoke from a fire, probably due to having his own habit of playing with it whenever he gets bored or actually using it for something. He loves the heat and can almost always be found where it's warmer; so thus he has a rather big dislike of the cold and winter, though with his pyrokinesis he can make it a bit warmer for himself at least by lighting his hands on fire or something. Yoichi does have a dislike for drugs, yet he loves alcohol - probably because it can be flammable, who knows.

He is in fact, a bit scared of losing those that are close to him, as well as being replaced. All he does want is to not really be alone and to have recognition - as for what...that is totally depending on whatever situation arises perhaps.

[attr="class","temptitle"]History

[attr="class","temptabinf3"]Yoichi had a rough childhood growing up. His mother was a single mother of both himself and a younger sister named Asami. Their father, a simple store clerk, had died of a robbery taking place during one of his night shifts that had gone wrong. Yoichi had been six at the time and Asami four. Their mother was devastated to lose not only best friend but husband as well, especially since she had been a stay-at-home mother. Yoichi had to step up to help take care of his younger sister while their mother went out searching for work, taking on a few jobs to help make ends meet.

Some years passed and about the time Yoichi had reached puberty the young boy had begun to...feel different. It could have been just the fact that he was a growing boy and naturally wanted to experiment and try to push some limits for fun with friends. It had been an evening after school, his sister, only eleven at the time whereas he was thirteen, off with her own friends while he with his. He and his friends were in an alley in one of the back streets, the boys playing with some matches and scraps of old homework. They each took turns striking a match against the box or, if they were wanting to be daring enough, against the brick walls of the alley before lighting the old pages of homework on fire. When it came time for Yoichi's turn, he had felt so drawn to the flames; the warmth of the fire, the color, the way the flames moved. It seemed so mesmerizing, but before he knew it the flames gradually grew bigger and bigger before it got out of control. Some of the now raging flames had latched onto one of the boys, licking his skin and consuming his clothing. Screams echoed out of the alley, drawing the attention of nearby adults as the boys panicked.

Luckily the flames were put out and the boy who had been attacked by the fire was not badly hurt, he had been rushed to the hospital where his burns were quickly treated. All of the boys were scolded for playing with fire, everyone thinking it had been just an unlucky accident that the flames grew out of control such as that. Yet deep down, Yoichi felt as though he had something to do with it. A small tug in his gut, a hidden desire to just watch those flames grow and to feel the warmth of them.

He had been careful around matches or anything that could host a fire, yet his curiosity won out over time. Some months had passed since the alley accident and Yoichi couldn't help but play with fire some more. It felt so thrilling, intoxicating almost. Something telling him that he couldn't, shouldn't, stop. A wild fire awakening inside of him. Yasei no hi, wild fire. His mother, however, had eventually found out about his extracurricular activites when he kept coming home smelling like smoke. Smoke from a fire rather than cigarettes, which he had tried to pass it off as. Yet the woman was smart enough to know better than that. It took a bit of time for him to tell his mother of his overwhelming desire with fire, even that impossible thought of...of somehow controlling the flames just briefly. It surely couldn't have been possible to do such a thing, for fire was by no means something to be controlled. Right?

However, his mother had tried to help him with this new strange obsession of his to the best of her ability. Trying to teach him self-control over his urges and to try and keep things in check. It would be rather unfortunate, if not a dishonor, to draw attention to them like that.

Some more years passed and Yoichi had begun working the moment he was able to, wanting to help his beloved mother make ends meet and to give her a break at doing everything all on her own. His sister, Asami, had enter high school as well as reached puberty as well. Her own power beginning to awaken, yet it was something not as destructive as his own. He thought it as life for her gift. The girl holding the ability to control plants; Yoichi always found himself so fascinated with the way she could tend to them and make them all the more beautiful. However, during the time of his working days and learning more to control his own power, his mother had met a man and fallen in love. Naturally, Yoichi was a bit put off by the fact that another man was entering their lives, but he wanted his mother to be happy again. To feel loved once more.

It took some getting used to this new man that had entered their lives, but over time Yoichi had grown more accepting to this man who showed his mother, and even sister and himself, kindness and love that a parent, and partner, would give. It wasn't long before his mother and the man wed, a happy joining that did change their lives for the better. Yoichi and his sister moved out of their little home with their mother and step-father to his home. A place that would definitely keep them well off and happy. Both he and his mother wouldn't have to work again thanks to the man who took them in. They could be safe and happy, like how things should have been.

Over time, Yoichi had come to realize that the man was not just a businessman but someone of the Yakuza. Definitely a dangerous thing to be involved in. He had told his mother of such information, only to find out that she, too, had known that. In fact, she had known of his step-father's profession a little bit after they had begun dating. He was shocked at first, feeling almost betrayed by his own mother, yet his step-father seemed no different than he had been before. He had even known about his own...firey ability thanks to his mother telling him nearly everything about her children. The man had offered to help Yoichi let his power grow and to use it to his advantage, even for letting him join the business - Asami as well.

It definitely took some getting used to this new life of his, yet he wanted to get better at his power and to even stay well off if it meant going down this path. Many more years passed and he rose in the ranks of the Yakuza under the guidance of his step-father, his sister Asami doing well for herself and even eventually finding love within this new family of theirs. He got to witness his beloved little sister marry at the age of twenty-four and eventually became an uncle soon after that. Things were good for his sister, and he was just fine with that as well. It was about then that his second power came to light, at first people just seemed to have a bit of a hard time saying no to him before it gradually grew to people wanting to just please him and make him happy. On some it grew into an obsession that became almost stalkerish, if even that. The power both pleased him to no end but also made him wary of it. After all, it affected people differently.

However, he had known of a cousin of his living in London, his mother's sister's son actually, and used what resources he had to look into the man. Eventually, he decided he wanted to meet his cousin, and so, with permission, he left for London with some members of the Yakuza accompanying him to meet this blood relative and, if by chance, create a bond between Mafia and Yakuza as well.
