Niwa's Recent News
  • 19 April 2015 -- Niwa is under new management!

    Niwa is now under new management as we strive to stand up the the standards of fun and entertaining roleplaying we have so far provided here at Niwa. Today makes the start of a campaign to bring in new members as Head Admin Akaiken and Support Admin Sparky work together to improve and uphold the current face of Niwa and keep us all moving forward!

They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home.

Can you survive it?

NPC Type: Limited to Tsukamoto Members

Name: Tsukamoto "Johnny" Jotaro. Formerly Suzuki Jotaro.
Gang Affiliation: Tsukamoto

Age: 24
Birth Date: January 27th

Occupation: Tsukamoto Lieutenant, Estimator for Tsukamoto Construction Company

Physique: ~The Working Man's Stature~
Standing at only 5'10 and weighing a little under 180lbs Johnny doesn't exactly strike an imposing figure. Thanks in part to an iron liver and hardworking lifestyle Johnny has managed to stay fit despite subjecting his body to a good deal of drinking and smoking. But what good Japanese man hasn't, right?
What...?

Wait, you serious?

Haha, fuck you!

Personality: ~Let me buy you a drink~
Despite being raised among one of the most prominent Yakuza families in Niwa, Johnny posses an endearing working man's attitude and a friendly disposition. He is by far one of the more likable members of the Yakuza leadership. Said to have inherited the street-charisma of his adoptive father Tsukamoto Takeshi, Johnny has a loyal following and even has friends among the other gangs of Niwa.
     However, despite his nice guy attitude, Johnny is still Yakuza at heart. He doesn't respond well to threats, particularly against his subordinates, and he has a non-nonsense business like approach to gang politics. He is fully capable of hurting someone if it's for the sake of the group, but he's also not interested in violence for violence's sake. For this reason he is considered by many of the Tsukamoto to be a better candidate for Takeshi's successor than Ryou Tsukamoto.

Personal History: To the people of Niwa Suzuki Jotaro was just another orphan. That may sound callous, but in a world were violence and murder is common place parent-less children become a part of the scenery. It's sad, but it can't be helped. However, to Takeshi Tsukamoto, Jotaro was the son he had been looking for. It was not the most storybook meeting. He didn't catch the precocious youth trying to pick his pocket, and Jo didn't save Takeshi's life in an odd twist of fate. No, like a dog grown out of it's puppy stage he was one of the poor children who had reached an age where adoption was unlikely. Instead he spent years in and out of the foster system until Takeshi found him while visiting the orphanage.

It's not clear what provoked the Elder Tsukamoto to adopt the young man aside from a kind heart. Was it the sincerity in his eyes? Or the potential power he possessed? Not even Jo knew. But he was given a home, and an education, and a reason to be grateful. He took the opportunities he was given and made something of himself. Despite spending his later childhood years in a wealthy family, Jotaro worked. He got a job at one of his new father's construction companies, and unofficially worked their throughout high school. After that he attended Jinsei University earning a degree in Architectural Engineering. When he graduated Takeshi gave him an official job in one of his companies working as an Estimator.

Now he works as the face of the Yakuza, particularly the Tsukamoto, keeping an eye out for the little guy and encouraging peace, not only between the families, but also between the various gangs of Niwa.

Gifts/Skills/Abilities/Powers: ~Light it up~
Unexpectedly, despite being adopted Jotaro was discovered to posses power over an element like other members of the Tsukamoto family. In his case he is a skilled Pyromancer. While he is skilled in the use of his abilities, able to produce fire in great quantities and control it deftly, he does not enjoy using it as he finds fire wantonly destructive and dangerous. Control of the fire is mostly centered around the movement of his hands and control of his breathing. High temperatures don't seem to affect him much; where other men burn Jotaro is just working up a healthy sweat. Likewise he doesn't have much issue breathing in smoke, at best he'll become lightheaded.
~Mama said knock you out~
While he's no kung fu Master or expert swordsman, Jotaro is an experienced boxer. He was a member of the boxing club in high-school, and also participated in some light weight competitions on and off during his college years. He was known for having a lightning fast straight and quick feat.

Additional Information: On top of his abilities, Jotaro knows how to handle a gun. He is rather indifferent towards them, not particularly liking or disliking using them. However, he doesn't usually carry one on his person as they tend to be incriminating and he can be just as effective using his powers. Despite this, when he knows he's going to be in a dangerous situation he always makes sure to carry a piece.

About the only time losing is more fun than winning is when you're fighting temptation.
