BASICS NAME Kamui ALIAS Stupid Big Brother, Leader, Lightning Spear AGE 18 BIRTHDAY June 1st SPECIES Yato HOMEWORLD Rakuyou HEIGHT 170cm; 5'7 WEIGHT 55kg; 122lbs OCCUPATION Space Pirate, Terrorist TITLE Harusame 7th Division Captain PRISMATICA MOONBLESSING Sanguis ANIMAL Red Panda RESIDENCE Level 2 SEXUALITY Strengthsexual TURN ONS Carnage OPT OUT Here KINK LIST Here YATO CLAN STRENGTH Yato are the most physically powerful race in the known galaxy. Kamui in particular is even shown kicking through the outer hull of a spaceship to break into it. Invisible alien muscles are a thing here. DURABILITY They are also infamously sturdy, taking gunshot wounds and impalement like absolute champs. The only thing that seems to slow them down is losing limbs. Their bodies are resistant to poison though not immune, and they are even shown to be able to survive in the vacuum of space. RAPID HEALING Yato do not regenerate or heal instantly, but they do recover from damage faster than they have any right to. Gun shot wounds close within the hour, and Kamui jumps back into the fray on the same day that he's impaled in an explosion. METABOLISM The Yato have to consume enormous amounts of food in order to maintain their alien physiology. Kamui is ranked the biggest eater in all of Gintama. BLOOD The blood of the Yato Clan is described as a collective intuition made up of the instincts and memories of their ancestors. This is a problem because Yato instincts always tend toward violence. Having a flood of mindless blood lust in one's veins makes for very tumultuous living. The Yato have to overcome these base instincts or else lose their minds to it, attacking others indiscriminately and with no regard for their own bodies. It's their own personalized berserk button. However, this well of instinct can also be utilized to measure one's opponent. Kamui can sense the presence of other Yato with it, distinguish the truly powerful from the braggadocious, and better analyze the enemy's battle strategy. SUNLIGHT Their bodies cannot handle direct sunlight. Many Yato, Kamui included, develop some small immunity through exposure therapy, but even then, enough sun will make them ill and prolonged exposure is still fatal. This is why Yato are known throughout the galaxy for the parasols they carry. INVENTORY (1) Roll of bandages (2) Reinforced parasol guns (1) Parasol sheath belt (1) Case of ammunition (1) BTSB Kaya keychain

➛ DISCIPLINED Kamui is a master of martial arts, dubbed the Lightning Spear of the Harusame Space Pirates. Though he doesn't act like it, he has cultivated excellent focus through meditation and repetition. As such, he rarely loses control of his emotions unless he actively decides to. He is very talented at making it seem like he takes action on a whim when in fact he's already observed his surroundings, analyzed his opponents, and considered the consequences before he charges headlong into danger. He will always charge headlong into danger, but he'll know what he's doing when he does. This is seen most readily in the Silver Soul Arc, during which he has to save first Gintama's main protagonist and then his little sister Kagura when they lose their heads in the fight for Earth. He goes so far as to scold them while he does it, citing that not even he would be able to make up for a military deficit that large. Kamui is not apathetic or stoic; he just has the control necessary to harness his emotions in a practical way. He exhibits this control often, such as when he remains coolly defiant in the face of his own execution or when he jumps from zero to sixty in an instant upon finding a worthy opponent. He's sharp and adaptable in battle especially. It's just hard to tell when he smiles like an idiot all the damn time. ➛ PERSISTENT Kamui does not stop. He has no off switch. Even as a child, when he was still living a happy life together with his family, once he got an idea into his head, he put every bit of himself into making it reality. This is demonstrated when he meets Housen, the then leader of Harusame's Seventh Division, and decides he is going to get the man to agree to his request no matter what it takes. Kamui challenges him again and again and again, is soundly thrashed each and every time, but he still comes back for more without fail. He doesn't stop until he manages to land a hit and get his way. Ten years later, this side of him, at least, hasn't changed. Whether it's his determination to sucker strong opponents into fights by any dirty means necessary or his habit of stubbornly digging his heels in until everyone else gives up the ghost, Kamui will not fold. Time, pain, even his very self are nothing compared to his goal of becoming "the strongest." He will keep pushing through every obstacle no matter how many times he fails because, in his own words, he only sees what's ahead. ➛ STRAIGHTFORWARD While Kamui is an antagonist, a brutal one to boot, he's no schemer. Au contraire, he's almost refreshingly open about what a horrible person he is. He will insult, attack, and even murder others without blinking an eye, but he'll be upfront and honest about his intentions from the get go. This is demonstrated when he approaches Takasugi after receiving his assignment to kill the man. Rather than ambush or trick his target into a disadvantage, he orders his subordinates not to interfere and demands of Takasugi that he "please die" to his face. Even when his subordinate accuses him of taking advantage of a job to incite an unnecessary fight, he easily admits to everything. "Cat's out of the bag, huh?" he laughs like he hasn't potentially started a war. The consequences simply don't matter to Kamui, and when the consequences of telling the truth don't frighten someone, they have no reason to hide anything. On the rare occasion that Kamui does deceive others, it always has to do with his denial over how much he still longs for the family he destroyed. So, really, the only time he lies is when he's lying to himself. This makes perfect sense when you consider that his goal is usually to squeeze a fight out of someone. The best way to piss people off is to tell them the truth. ➛ SELFISH Kamui has virtually no material desires. Somehow, however, he still manages to be the most selfish teenager in the known galaxy. He is callous and sacrilegious, fickle and petty, sometimes all in the same sentence. Nothing is sacred to him, and thus nothing is above ridicule. After all, if Kamui doesn't approve of something, that means it's worthless, and everyone else should think so too. He will tease and taunt and torture his companions with as much gusto as his enemies, which may well not be surprising since whether he sees someone as an ally or an enemy depends entirely on his momentary whims. An example of how quickly he can change tack is his and Kagura's joint battle against Yato legend, The Eldest. Kamui spends this single battle switching between working together with his sister Kagura to fight The Eldest, bickering with Kagura, attacking Kagura by kicking The Eldest at her, defeating The Eldest together with Kagura, and finally trying to kill Kagura again. Sometimes he's even contrary just for the sake of it. When confronted by several of his favorite past opponents each demanding they should have first dibs on a rematch, he laughs them off as pure, naive souls who gave him their virginity and want him to take responsibility. Even though on the very same page, he affirms that he wants those rematches just as much as they do. Long story short: he does what he wants when he wants however the hell he wants to do it, and damn the consequences. ➛ EXTREMIST Despite living in such a diverse galaxy, Kamui has always had an issue with seeing his surroundings as clear cut black and white. People are either strong or they're weak, interesting or boring, worth everything or worth nothing. He looks at objects, places, and even concepts the same way. He just doesn't perceive that middle ground. This is readily apparent during his battle with his father. Kamui spends the entire sequence raving about how he's grown strong just as his father asked him to, demanding his father's approval even as he tries to kill him. This dichotomy is glaring, and yet Kamui can't see it. He is completely convinced he hates his father, and thus there's no way he can also love him. This means that hatred is the only emotion with which he can express his other sentiments. Murder is literally the only option he sees to make his father proud of him. With an attitude like that, it's no wonder that every action he takes toward his other goals is over the top as well. He can't just aim to be stronger, no. He has to resolve himself to be the absolute strongest, prove his worth by fighting every powerful opponent he comes across, and give up everything else he cares about in the process. Moderation doesn't exist in his vocabulary. ➛ LACKING IDENTITY Kamui doesn't hesitate to describe himself as empty. You have to be, he insists, in order to qualify as the vessel for a heavy title like "the strongest." Before he hit puberty, Kamui had already severed all attachments he had to any objects, places, and people he'd once known. He did this because he was so traumatized by his own weakness that he couldn't stand to allow it to exist even one moment longer. He had to get stronger by any means necessary, and that meant discarding everything that might make him hesitate to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, at least some form of weakness is required in order to forge a sense of self. Without it, Kamui never seeks to define himself beyond his own physical strength. He has no favorites, no hobbies, no causes to call his own. All he has are targets, and up until he meets Earth's samurai, most of those are arbitrarily chosen too. This lack of identity is what makes it so easy for his Yato blood to overwhelm him, turning him into a mindless killing machine that doesn't even remember its own name. After he regains his mind, Kamui comes to accept that such attachments can be their own kind of strength, that not having it in him to kill his little sister might not be the worst fatal flaw ever, but he is still new enough to the concept of accepting weakness that it doesn't come easy. Beyond sort of attempting to be a big brother (not necessarily a good one), he still has a long way to go before he figures out who he really wants to be.
