Profile

A kind and caring person, Yoh Yamagatani is a teenage boy whom lives on the estate of his parents in the local area of Lunarvale.Though growing up through turmoil and strife, he has retained a good deal of normalcy. A good person at heart, He strives to help those who need it as best as he can. Since his father's disappearance nine years ago, he has begun to take more responsibility than a normal teenager his age should handle as of recently, believing that easing the burden of those around him, even when costing himself is the right thing to do. Helping others is the only form of repentance he believes will serve as a proper atonement for what he did during an uncontrollable period in his life. Since his father vanished, He has tried to take his place, holding his dad's beliefs and inner goals close to him. He one day hopes to discover what has become of his father, and bring his family together again.

Description

Yoh is a teenage boy with an average appearance. Standing 5 feet, 8 inches and weighing roughly 150 pounds, he tends to blend in with those around him, as besides his strange hairdo, he doesn't look very different from others his age. He has jet black hair, which he maintains in an unusual fashion, using gel to let half of it dangle in clumps correctly, and fashioning the rest to stick outward in strange directions. His eyes are a deep emerald green, which seem to give him an almost piercing gaze at times. He appears rather svelte, but is actually quite solid from his martial arts training.

The boy clearly goes to St. Hermelin, as he can be seen often sporting the school uniform they use. If seen during a day off, or later in the evening, he can usually be seen wearing what is in style in America. Most of the time, that consists of a pair of baggy carpenters (not to be confused with 'gangster style' pants half clinging to your thighs.) and a clean long sleeve polo shirt, maybe having a thick stripe, or some other assorted pattern. Underneath he always has a white tee, with the sleeves either ripped, cut or removed in some other violent fashion despite the weather. He usually takes off his polo and ties it around his waist when about to get in a fight. He clearly hates getting his good polos dirty. As for shoes, he seems to have a preference for basketball styled ones, believing they help the most, having good maneuverability when using martial arts, or better yet, kicking faces in.

Accessories Yoh can be seen with only consist of a silver necklace with two Kanjis, together spelling 'Gouki', and a pair of custom gloves he had made. While looking like a thicker pair of biker gloves, closer inspection shows industrial grade bolts somehow sewn / attached to it, sticking tail ends outward. The only times he is seen with the gloves actually on his hands are either right before, during, or right after someone's face got beaten in.


History

Yoh was born in the town of Lunarvale on October 1st, 1992 to his mother and father. At first in his life, his family was on the lower tier of living, sometimes barely getting by, His mother taking care of him when she can, being an associate college professor, and his father being 'self employed' in the area of psychology, performing as a mere therapist most of the time, despite wanting to do something more.. Thankfully a good change came at an opportune time.

Sometime in 1998, Around the time Yoh was 6, his father wrote a series of papers discussing and theorizing about the average human Ego. Later that year he was approached by a small group of colleagues who said they were researchers from an important research team, the Kirijo Group. They offered him a position among the group performing research on the psyche of the human mind. They made a very generous offer, seeing the father's potential. He was rather skeptical, but as no other alternatives were present, as well as the destitute position his family was in, he had to take it. Because of his choice, his family now was going to have a good life for the next year and a half, Yoh's family was one of the happiest ever. He became quite prestigious in his field rather quickly, and the boy's mother quit her career to take care of little Yoh full time. Unfortunately, even good causes sometimes have bad effects. Later in the year 1999, The boy's father became.... distant. Something happened that seemed to shake a man known for his commandeering presence and serenity. When inquired he would refuse to mention anything about his work for a time, muttering equations and hypotheses under his breath for long periods of time. Yoh and his mother tried their best to make the best of the time they had with him, being as work had been called off due to unexplained reasons, but he acted as if he was elsewhere the entire time, as if he had something on his mind that was unfathomable. After that point, Yoh and his mother almost never saw him anymore. Even though his job was never reinstated, he left for large lengths of time, going somewhere he refused to talk about. When asked he would never give a straight answer. He would only say things like "It is important." or "It is something I have to do.". They tried getting him to quit, to no avail. The nights he was home were restless, with him having horrific nightmares, and waking up screaming. Slowly, they saw less and less of him, until one day, they no longer saw him anymore.

November 23rd,, 2000. Yoh's father vanished.

The family, the father's friends, and his colleagues were devastated. They had all known him as kind, caring person. Everyone had feared the worst. The boy's mother launched all sorts of investigations to try and locate him. Sadly, after three months with no leads, he was declared deceased. The family left was deeply saddened, and Yoh went into a deep depression for a long time, secluding himself to his room, only ever coming out for school and food. A a few more months after his father was declared dead, his sadness and fear of being alone in the world began to coalesce into hate. He began to become a troubled child, taking out the anger of his father dying on those around him, causing mischief, picking on the weak, and hurting those who opposed his anger. There were many people he hurt, and things destroyed during this long fit of rage. Many places banned him from returning, and he and his mother were shunned by most. He had truly become what he had hated the most in life.

Thankfully, this was not to last. Early in 2005, While salvaging what was left in their abandoned facility, Yoh's father's colleagues found a hidden room containing documentation that was unknown to them. It seemed to involve Yoh's father, and were shocked at what it seemed to contain. After deciphering the documents, they came to the Yamagatani estate as soon as possible to pass the transcript on. Upon handing over the papers, the torn family immediately read it. Enclosed it mentions meetings of a group of people several times, sometimes involving much travel. That would explain the long times away from the house, but there was something more that shocked Yoh and his mother. Some of the documents were clearly dated past the time that his father was labeled dead.

He realized that this could mean that his father may yet still be alive! His heart instantly jumped for joy at the thought. The boy and mother's hopes were renewed, as the thought of his family being together once more sounded like a dream that may come true. As time passed, he began to become more caring after that day, helping those he could, like he knew how is father would. As he became a better person, he set out to repay those he had once hurt, trying his best to spread kindness along the way. Sadly, some of the things he did were unforgivable by some. He had anticipated some would not forgive him, though trying as best he could. For each transgression he performed, for each person he wronged, he vowed that though he could not help them, he would help others a thousand fold, knowing in doing this, wherever his father may be, he would be proud to call him son. To this day, he still helps anyone in need as he goes about his life, as well as finally becoming more social, thanks to his mother's urgings, beginning to take part in extra-curricular activities after school. He can still be found on his parents' estate.


Persona

I art thou... and thou art I... I am Magni, son of Thor. Let none stop our might on the journey to Valhalla...



Magni is depicted as the son of the Norse god Thor, and the Jotumn Járnsaxa, a giantess. He was a gargantuan demi-god, believed to be an estimated fifteen feet tall, and weilding an extremely large hammer pre-Ragnarok. He was known for representing power, strength, and fearlessness. He plays an important role in a battle between Thor and the giant Hrungnir. Thor defeated the giant utilizing a blow to the head with Mjolnir, the legendary hammer. While Thor killed the giant, it's body fell on him, pinning him to the ground. Thor, nor any other Aesir could move the body. Magni learned of this when he was only three days old, and went to his father, effortlessly moving the corpse off his father.

After Ragnarok was to transpire, Magni and his brother, Modi, were to be bequeathed Mjolnir to rebuild the world and all civilization. Magni was believed to be the only god besides Thor himself to be able to use Mjolnir at all.
