- Style: Karate and Shifting Dragon
Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It was developed from indigenous fighting methods called te (literally "hand") and Chinese kenpō. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. For many practitioners, karate is a deeply philosophical practice. Karate-do teaches ethical principles and can have spiritual significance to its adherents.
Karate can be practiced as an art (budō), as a sport, as a combat sport, or as self defense training. Traditional karate places emphasis on self development (budō). Modern Japanese style training emphasizes the psychological elements incorporated into a proper kokoro (attitude) such as perseverance, fearlessness, virtue, and leadership skills. Sport karate places emphasis on exercise and competition. Weapons (kobudō) is important training activity in some styles. Karate training is commonly divided into kihon (basics or fundamentals), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring).
The fighting style of the shifting dragon is a fighting style that focuses not in strength but in accuracy. There are literally thousands of techniques that could be used when in the swift motions of this style, but mainly its jabs that are using only the index and middle finger. The jabs are mainly in key points (not pressure points) that are usually located in just above the collar bone towards the center of the neck to temporarily compress the wind pipe, in the right shoulder so as to cause excruciating pain without causing serious damage, the top of the ribs, just before the large plate of bone covering your heart so as to knock the wind out of you, backs of knees and elbows to shut down movement, and finally the base of the skull in the back so as to temporarily shut down the brain allowing time for a knock out.
But the jabs aren’t all that the style is about, it also deals with 'grab, palm' techniques which involve grabbing a limb and slamming the palm in a weak spot such as kidneys or joints (Hard enough to do a minor break). This is the fighting style of the Hikari family, and only the Hikari family, it has been passed down from generation to generation so as to keep it alive, and Kazuya has been taught it. - Strengths: Kazuya has a good amount of strength in both his arms and legs, and because of his athletic frame, he can be fast and agile with his attacks, though if he needs to, he'll block and then counterattack if he can't attack in time. His stamina is quite high, so he can last in a fight for a good amount of time.
- Weaknesses: Although both his arms and legs are developed, if he used either to block, he would only be able to take so many hits on his arms or legs. Although his stamina is high, if a fight wears on longer than he expected, he'll grow tired eventually, which may just work against him. Also, if he's faced against a huge opponent who is more muscular than him, his attacks may not inflict damage, which will work against him. Even if he dodges attacks constantly, he will grow exhausted overtime.
History[/u]
Going to 650, Kazuya, who chose to be addressed by the name Alex, met teenagers just like him, and even met Luyu Kodiak, the woman whom his father really loved, and whom Alex thought of as his mother. He met and made friends there, including Matrim Gallagher and Reira DeMorvick, whom Alex aided in escaping the school, by getting them jobs in his father's company, which he had taken over along with Kyoko, after his father had died in a battle against a force that he wanted to destroy. While grieving for his father, he became closer to Luyu. Everything went back to normal for the most part that is, until the school came under attack by a rogue group called The Paladins, leaving the school in ruins. Alex battled against the Paladins and received injuries that left him in a wheelchair after surgery had been done on his injured leg.
During the attack, Alex was separated from his sister and blacked out from the injuries he sustained. After the government came to the ruined school, and prison or separating the students was inevitable, an invitation was given to all the students who survived, including Alex. They would be sent to another school, located in the northern reaches of Alaska, near Point Hope. Now with a criminal record, and his older sister's whereabouts unknown, Alex entrusted the position of head of Hikari Industries to his father's personal bodyguard, Mr. Hawthorne, Alex trusting the man to keep Hikari Industries running smoothly, until Kyoko was found, and either one of them were old enough to take over as the head once more. Gathering what belongings he had left that wasn’t destroyed, he boarded the plane, and was plane bound for Point Hope High. Arriving at the school, he's become a prisoner once again, and this time, escape is almost impossible...
Point Hope High
While recovering from the surgery done on his leg, Alex was reunited with Matrim, who had lost his memory. The two of them got into a fight for the School Captain position, despite Alex still wheelchair bound, with Matrim beating Alex for the title, and in the process, regaining some of his memory through Alex using his flame Qi on him. After his leg had fully healed, Alex was prepared to challenge Matrim for the title once more, only to be offered the title of Student Body President. Accepting the title, Alex no longer desired to challenge Matrim for the title anymore. Matrim asked Alex every so often for advice, the two of them were a duo, Alex was the brains, and Matrim was the brawn. Alex was also reunited with Sephora, eventually confessing his feelings for her, though he knew his feelings would never be reciprocated, for Sephora saw Alex as a brother, and he saw her as a sister, despite his feelings for her.
Everything was going great, until Alex found out something he thought would never happen. The vampire that had killed three members of the Enforcement Squad was at Point Hope High, alive and well, unlike what he and every other member of the Enforcement Squad believed, that Matrim had killed the vampire back in the AI Core. Sending a message to Marquise, Alex headed to the rooftop, and battled Marquise in a final showdown, inflicting serious burns to Marquise, but he ended up overusing his Qi, sustaining a serious wound in the process. Drained of all his body heat, Alex was left helpless and at the mercy of Marquise, who was just as exhausted. Just as Marquise was about to deliver the final blow... Matrim arrived, finishing what Alex had started. But he arrived too late to save Alex. Bleeding immensely from the wound and his body temperature dangerously low, Alex died. The next morning, after the battle, Matrim came up to the roof, and carrying Alex's body in his arms, placed him in a coffin, and buried him. The heir to the Hikari name, was dead.
Or so it was thought.
Arriving at Alaska after spending a year searching for her younger brother, Kyoko learned that Alex and the surviving students of Public High School #650 had been sent to Point Hope High. Arriving at Point Hope High a week later, after learning that her younger brother had died, Kyoko visited his grave, and for the first time in a very long time, she broke down and cried. However, she was determined to bring her younger brother back, and so, she dug up Alex's coffin, and took his body, reburying the now empty coffin, making sure that everything looked the same... and that no one had been there. Taking Alex to the Hikari Industries secret underground laboratories, during the year she had been searching, she had worked with the Hikari Industries researchers to develop a serum that originally was made to bring their father, Kane Hikari, back, but instead, she would now use it to bring Alex back.
Injecting the experimental serum into her brother, all she could do, was hope it would work. And it did, but it came with a price. Alex was brought back, though the process caused him excruciating pain as he screamed for mercy as he was brought back to life, causing his hair to turn dark blue, as a side effect of the serum. Her younger brother now back, she took him to a hospital, so he could recover. After he woke up, she decided the two of them would move to San Francisco. Packing up everything, they boarded a plane, and as soon as they made it to San Francisco, using the money they had inherited from their father, she bought a mansion located in the suburbs, and enrolled the both of them in Public High School #42, Alex deciding to go by his middle name, Ryuu, and fabricated the story he was his own cousin, to avoid getting caught up in the media attention surrounding the attack on St. Paragon's Secondary.
Public High School #42
After transferring to and spending about a year in the high school, during which Ryuu's leg healed completely, transfers from Public High School #259 came to the school after an earthquake had destroyed the school. Even though they were transfers, Ryuu met and made new friends, including Emily Delos Santos, the one girl he loved and cared deeply for, and would protect forever. The two of them had started out as really close friends and allies in Militia, a gang, as well as Emily being his superior, but the two of them spent a lot of time with each other in and outside of school, training each other in Kenjutsu and Tessenjutsu respectively. Ryuu continued to train in Taekwondo and Shifting Dragon, having trained in both for 7 and 1 year(s) respectively. During the year, Ryuu visited Emily in the hospital after she had been attacked and electrocuted by the alter ego that resided within his good friend and ally, Gabriel Seran. A couple months later, that very same alter ego attacked Ryuu, landing him in the hospital with a stab wound just missing his heart, and leaving a permanent scar on his chest. Emily visited him, during which Ryuu promised her he wouldn't fall in love with her.
Later in the year, Emily ended up taking a hit for Ryuu and another one of Ryuu's good friend and ally, Trizen Takano, by a member of a organization that Dr. Layla Clavering had been part of formerly, which by that time, Ryuu realized his feelings for Emily, but didn't have the chance to tell her. That same month, Ryuu ended up being attacked by the same organization, ending up in the hospital. After recovering and being discharged, it was through a practical joke played on the two of them by their best friends and classmates, that Ryuu confessed his feelings to Emily, who reciprocated his feelings, and the two of them became boyfriend and girlfriend. After their final exams was finished, Ryuu heard rumors that his step mom had been seen in Long Beach, and decided to go there and try and find her. Not wanting to be separated from Ryuu ever again, Kyoko decided to follow Ryuu to Long Beach. Ryuu packed up all his belongings, but not before spending the entire summer with Emily. In the last week of summer, Ryuu left San Francisco, plane bound for Long Beach, and enrolled in Public High School #259, deciding to go back to being called Alex.
Public High School #259
Arriving at Public High School #259, Alex was reunited with Emily, who had followed him from San Francisco. He then met up with his two best friends, Matrim Gallagher and Reira DeMorvick. In order to hide the fact he had been buried by Matrim, he explained to them why he had pretended to be his own cousin, so that neither of them would find out he had actually been brought back from the dead by an experimental serum. After being forgiven by the both of them, Alex became entangled in the fight for the title of School Captain, fighting against Gabriel Seran, who left mid-way through the fight, and Mitsuki Park, who ended up defeating him. Though he had lost the opportunity to become School Captain, he did not give up, and began to campaign to become the Student Body President, and met David Blaze, who, after questioning and hearing Alex's answers, was impressed with him, and told him to call Mitsuki, telling her he recommended Alex for the Pillar title.
After the meeting with Mitsuki, he found out David had been passed the title of School Captain from her, and David made Alex the Varsity Captain, but his title was short-held, as he willingly gave it up after Gabriel Seran took the title from David, who was the only School Captain Alex would ever follow. With little else to do, Alex trained and fought, to become stronger, during which he met and became friends with Emily's long lost twin sister, Drea. Alex was then contacted by Emily, who was in the hospital, and he, along with David and Drea, were revealed to the existence of the organization Emily had created, Regalia. It was at the crowning ceremony, that Alex discarded the names he had gone by in the past, and addressed himself by his real first name, Kazuya, and reconfirmed the blood pledge he had made to Emily back at Public High School #42.
Kazuya fought a number of battles, in order to protect the school, the school that was dear to Emily. But he knew the possibility of Emily breaking up with him existed, because she still loved "Unfettered" Winters, and the day came. The two of them broke up, and on the very same day, Kyoko disappeared from Long Beach, just as another side effect of the serum struck Kazuya, causing his eyes to turn hawk-like. Though the two of them broke up, Kazuya still loved Emily, and kept the matching ring he and Emily both have from the mock wedding. He then fought against Gabriel Seran once more, to test his abilities against his, and to see how more he could improve, and where. Although the fight ended in a draw, the result left Kazuya unconscious, badly burned and injured, and he ended up in the hospital unconscious.
At the exact same time Kazuya was in the hospital, his roommate, Mitsukai Shinoda, whom he met a few days before his fight against Gabriel, and fought against to test her ability to defend her Pillar title, disappeared. For one week, Kazuya laid unconscious, the same amount of time Mitsukai had been gone for. A couple days later, she returned, her alter-ego in control. She then went to the hospital after hearing a message left on Kazuya's answering machine, but she wasn't there to visit him, she was there to kill him. But before she could deal the killing blow, Mitsukai fought to regain control, only after hearing Kazuya call out her name, did she succeed. Sometime after that, Kazuya was discharged out of the hospital, returning to Public High School #259 once again. Later in the year, he heard a rumor that his stepmother had been spotted in San Diego. He then left Long Beach during the middle of the second school semester, long after his right arm had healed, along with the stray kitten he found and nursed back to health, whom he named Kuro, and enrolled in the high school.[/ul]
