Other: Daigoro has become an idealized version of his self-image. He is drop dead gorgeous, and often embarrassed by the attention his good looks attract. He has a pleasant, mellow voice. Tends to dress nicely, but casually, seeking comfort over fashion, practicality overall. Hair is worn in either a half-ponytail or a "Warriors bun" style. A light scar traces his left cheek.

Known Powers/Abilities:

Divine/Infernal Essence:
During his conception, elements of the higher planes of light, as well as, elements of the lower planes of the abyss were introduced into his soul-essence. This affords him with a longer-life span, nearing that of immortality.

Genetically Engineered:
Daigoro was not born of woman, but rather through a scientific process meant to purify and enhance the best traits of his esper-like genetic parentage. This has resulted in an astronomical rise in mental abilities, as well as, incredible physical abilities which have yet to be measured.

Sorcery:
Daigoro is well versed in arcane and mystical matters, a trait which is much simplified due to his unusual spiritual make-up.

Empathy:
Daigoro can sense and interpret the emotional state of another being. It is suspected, yet unknown if he can also alter emotional states.

Parkour:
Daigoro has taken great interest in "l'art du déplacement." Currently an adept, he is rapidly becoming a skilled traceur.

Limitations:
-Due to his exceptional abilities, Daigoro was often shunned by his siblings and the general populace. As a result, he is quite reserved and at times, can be very abrasive in his manner. He is also prone to moments of fascination and reverie, most often cases in which he will stand shock-still and quietly murmur to himself about whatever may have caught his attention. His mystically altered soul also makes him somewhat vulnerable to supernatural affects. (ie. A ward may cause him discomfort)

-Does not handle alcohol well at all. (The type you drink)

Brief History:
Daigoro hails from an alternate reality, a world much like our own, save that the arcane is just as advanced as science. Eventually (some would say inevitably) this resulted in a war between the two opposing systems which has lasted for several eons. Elemental beings wrestled with titanic metal dreadnoughts. Spells and wards clashed with plasmafire and armor. Somehow among all the ceaseless battle, Lord Raphael Kusanagi, then a prince of the Chrysanthemum Empire, had met and fell in love with Lady Hitomi Tanaka, a princess of the Technocratic Society. The two eloped and with a number of those tired of the never-ending war, created a new sovereignty, The Kingdom of Jade.

It was their hope to show by example that as peace could be found between the two ways of life. It started well off at first, it is theorized that the very shock of such a scandalous event had rendered the two opposing factions into non-action. This was fortunate since it gave the new Kingdom of Jade a time to consolidate a base of power. However, soon enough the fragile state of peace between the three factions began to break down, plunging the world into another state of war. The new Kingdom survived only because of Raphaels' and Hitomis' intimate knowledge of the stratagems used by both sides, as well as, the defenses created utilizing science bolstered by sorcery and vice versa.

Daigoro was meant to be the ultimate proof that harmony between factions could exist, a being which incorporated the best of both ideologies. The current state of affairs in this alternate-world is unknown.

What is known is that he has forsaken his title, his birthrights (if he has any), and currently resides within a peculiar realm named "Gaiaonline" by its residents.

Notes:
Daigoro was meant to be seen as an ideal. For the most part, he instead was treated as an abomination. Save for the love of his parents and two siblings (older brother Shinjo and younger sister Michiko, both deceased) he has never known the closeness of others. As such, he is most often found alone, reading or writing. In order to meld with other gaians, he frequently downplays his abilities, and as such, for the most part seems to simply be a highly intelligent and skilled person.

Daigoro earns most of his living costs trading within the Marketplace, a practice which has afforded him enough to own a condominium in Durem. He also owns a fair sized house in the Barton suburbs, which is mainly used as a storage facility. It is expected that Daigoro will be a participant in the upcoming "Battle System" in order to suppliment his living costs.

Daigoro and Vanessa, the proprietress of the Durem Salon, since early to mid 2004 have shared an intense on and off relationship.

It has been hinted that Daigoro and Edmund have been acquaintances long before Edmund became a shopkeeper. Their mutual attraction to the hair dresser Vanessa, often results in a conflict between the two. Oddly, this does not harm the relationship as one would think it might.

Despite his reluctance Daigoro, on several occasions has been coerced by Edmund into G-Team related activities. Most recently of note, the Vampires/Hunters war of 2007.

Quotes:

Edmund: How did I come to meet Daigoro? Well that's really none of your business is it?

Vanessa: Did Moira send you? -sighs- Listen, I'm not mad, I'm just not speaking with him right now.

Moira: Dee? Oh Dee's cool. He's just a little stiff at times.

Natasha: He's hella cute. But he's way into Vanessa. I'm not wasting my time on that one.

Devin: He's got some really nice bun-er... inkwork.
