少し, 頭冷やそうか...
Name: Fujimura, Yukari (藤村 ゆかり)
Gender: Female
Age: claims to be 24
Birth Date: 7th August
Alignment: Light
Occupation: Private Investigator, Moocher
Description:
Posted Image
Greenish-Blue eyes, long brown hair, and carries many knives. Nice legs, better than average figure. Pretty enough to turn a man's head briefly, but not a movie star. Built like sprinter. Usually wears a white dress-shirt with long sleeves, a matching vest and tie, and long skirt. Occasionally uses a long coat.

Personality:
Carefree and sentimental, but not particularly attached to the world. You could say she's quite detached really. The sort who thinks work should be done without complaint, but she's so easy-going it feels nice to watch her. Sometimes she's a little spacey, but it's hard to tell if she's serious or faking it. In either case, she's a fairly serious person. She doesn't care for honor or power, and thinks so long as it earns her dinner, her work is fine.

Personal History:
Born on the 7th of August, in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Yukari was, from the start, someone who wouldn't be considered 'normal'. She was the sort who had a boundless curiosity about how things worked, and, coupled with her unusual ability to pour energy into things to raise their temperature, was often the kind of kid that you'd see messing with a hobby rocket and blowing things up around the neighborhood. Considering Japanese society is alot more rigid and focused on societal norms than an outsider might initially expect, she was practically an outcast from the start.

Except... she didn't care. Though she was kind and considerate to others, she was never overly polite, nor stuffy, nor did she feel obligated to conform. As long as she did her own thing, she was fine with it, and continued through her early years learning about her interests. Her path on her career started when she met a certain someone during her university years. The end result was a desire to work as detective of sorts.

Her own natural curiosity and talent for investigation would lead her to work for the Garan Agency, a private detective agency that specialised in surveillance and tracking down missing persons, run by one Aozaki Tohko, who would actually be the one to help her refine her skills both as an investigator and in her rather unusual ability, which was referred to as ignition. Tohko was also the one who gave her her gloves, and helped to initially acquire much of her tools and equipment, if not outright made it for her.

After several years working for Garan, the group was disbanded when Tohko moved to London, and Yukari was left on her own. She had since moved.


Gifts/Skills/Abilities/Powers:

  • Ignition:
    Yukari possesses the ability to raise the temperature of an object by channeling energy into it. The more energy, the greater the temperature, and she's capable of reaching absurd temperatures (almost 3000 degrees centigrade potentially) if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, it does come with 2 problems: 1. The object must be physically connected with her hands, which limits it's range, and 2. She isn't normally immune to the effects of the heat. so it isn't particularly convenient. She normally wears special gloves to help her control it and prevent her from burning herself. While she can adjust it's temperature precisely, she can't lower an objects temperature below what it was when she originally started pouring energy into it.
  • Close Combat Proficiency:
    She doesn't know Karate or Kung Fu, but is fairly learned in a combat system called Krav Maga, a martial art less concerned with form and more with inflicting ridiculous amounts of damage to people's load-bearing joints, and focuses on brutally and efficiently hurting people out to hurt you with anything on hand. She's also skilled with knife fighting.

  • Resourcefulness:
    The ability to improvise. Yukari doesn't make as much as she'd like, so she has a knack for coming up with ways to deal with things with whatever is on hand. This ranges from improvising weapons to dealing with electric wiring, cooking, or all manner of whatnot, from whatever materials on hand. You could call her a MacGuyver, but she inst quite as pacifistic.

  • Surveillance Specialist:
    Yukari is familiar with most surveillance and counter-surveillance techniques due to her time at the Garan Agency, and is able to track down and follow most people without counterdetection.

  • Firearms Proficiency:
    Yukari is sufficiently knowledgeable with the use of most firearms that she can identify most types, their details and characteristics, and use most of them without hurting herself.

Notable Possessions:

  • Cz-52 Handgun: (Image)
    The Cz-52 is a roller-locked short recoil-operated, detachable box magazine-fed, single-action, semi-automatic pistol firing the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge. It weighs approximately two pounds when unloaded and has a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. They are also fairly cheap and easy to acquire, but not very popular outside of the former Warsaw Pact States. They ares also well known for their very sharp report and the great amount of muzzle flash it produces, as well as their reliability and ability to penetrate body armor.

    Unfortunately, due to the magazine capacity, Yukari often ends up carrying 4 extra magazines with her, which she considers a fair enough trade for the ability to penetrate most civilian body armors (it will also defeat military body armor at ranges of 5 metres or less). She's fairly skilled with it's use, but the paperwork involved everytime she uses it outside of a designated firing range means she only uses it when she has to. She also has a concealed carry permit.

  • Custom Butterfly Knife (Open , Closed)
    A balisong, otherwise known as a butterfly knife or a Batangas knife, is a folding pocket knife with two handles counter-rotating around the tang such that, when closed, the blade is concealed within grooves in the handles. In the hands of a trained user, the knife blade can be brought to bear quickly using one hand. Manipulations, called flipping, can be performed for art or amusement.

    This particular one is a high quality custom model, and has a 5 inch blade made of Tungsten-Rhenium rather than the usual Carbonsteel, and is fairly heavy for it's size (it weighs slightly more than an equal mass of lead), and Yukari is the only one weird enough to use it. Emphasis was placed on toughness instead of sharpness. In other words, it's forged with the intention of being able to shrug off damage. An attacking defensive item. The tip is reinforced with Tungsten-Carbide to improve penetration ability. The odd choice of material was for two reasons: It's extremely high melting point (About 3500 degrees centigrade, or over 6000 degrees Fahrenheit) and it's resilience.

    Because of the absurdly high melting point while still maintaining integrity, Yukari often raises the temperature to absurdly high levels (generally abit over 2000 degrees Centigrade), allowing it to melt through high-grade steel if needed. If given enough time, she could literally cut through a bank vault or tank. However, as she isn't immune to the effects of the temperature, she wears special gloves to prevent her hands from being burned. Combined with her skills in close combat, a rather effective combination.

    Because it's cheap to use (that is, it doesn't cost her anything), she uses this most often among her things. She even toasts bread with it on occasion.

  • Staballoy Throwing Knives
    A set of throwing knives with blades made of a material called Staballoy. They're pretty heavy for their small size, and she owns about 2 dozen or so of them. Despite their ridiculous weight, somehow she manages to carry alot of them. Somehow. Staballoy is a mixture of 3.5% Titanium, .5% Molybdenum and 96% Depleted Uranium (by mass). Normally not something throwing knives are made out of, Yukari favored it the because it is self-sharpening and pyrophoric, capable of defeating both hard and soft targets.

    On impact with a hard target, such as armor, the tip fractures in such a way that it remains sharp. The impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to disintegrate to dust and burn when it reaches air because of its pyrophoric properties. Additionally, DU exhibits significant adiabatic shear band formation. During impact, fractures along these bands cause the tip of the penetrator to continuously shed material. This erosion maintains the tip's shape and increases the amount of pyrophoric fragments released into the target.

    Due to the very high temperatures developed during impact, anything struck that can easily burn (such as clothing made of easily combustible material) catches fire, and it is capable of igniting ammunition and fuel (even diesel). Definitely not something you want to be hit by. For safety purposes, the blades are normally coated with a thin layer of aluminium alloy that is shed off via her ignition ability before she throws it. As they cost alot (Staballoy is expensive, and knifesmiths skilled enough to make knives like these charge high prices) and are hard to replace, she rarely uses them, but always carries a few with her just to be sure.

  • Salamander Skin Gloves:
    Special gloves that Yukari uses to both limit and control her ability, they aren't so much immune to temperature as they are incredibly resistant. As incredibly good insulators, they prevent her hands from being burned, but they do have limits. They're also rather resistant to cuts, abrasions, and abuse, so they serve to protect her hands in general as well. Despite what she calls it, she's not actually sure what it's really made of, but it gets the job done. She has 2 more sets remaining besides the one she currently uses and takes pretty good care of them, since acquiring replacements requires seeing her former employer in London.

Additional Information:

  • Sharp and able, she has no real weak points but she has a sensitive tongue and can't eat hot (temperature) foods. It's ironic, considering her ability.
  • Though her character is refined, sometimes she's surprisingly careless and seems to be
    just spacing out.
  • She has tremendous skill with handling knives, and by extension is extremely good at cooking.
  • Her current hobby is creating delicacies using exquisite ingredients. However, she doesn't make enough money to indulge often.
  • She's read through the entire Ragnar Benson collection, and this is one possible reason she knows so much about a wide variety of unusual topics.
  • She speaks Japanese, English (with an Oxford accent), and abit of German (with a Hamburg Accent)
  • Since staballoy is hard to come by, she's looking for other materials to use for her knives.
  • Despite her skills and abilities, she's still mostly just a regular human, so that does occassionally get in the way.
