Asako Takahiro, Insightful Inquisitor

Tipo ADVERSARYGrau de conflito Combat conflict rank 3 Intrigue conflict rank 4

Descrição

Takahiro is a lithe young man with high cheekbones and a strong jaw, and is by all standards quite handsome. The only thing odd about his appearance is the tattooed eyes on his palms—the symbol of an Asako Inquisitor. He frequently wears a serene smile, which has a calm and disarming effect on those who view it. However, once someone feels comfortable in Takahiro’s presence, they have fallen for his trap. He plays the gentle fool, seemingly inexperienced and naïve. As his target’s guard drops, he pushes them into incriminating themselves; then, upon their capture, he reveals his deductive genius through an enthusiastic monologue. In doing so, he also reveals his greatest flaw: his pride.

Though usually a keen investigator, Takahiro recently convicted an innocent woman, only to realize his mistake after her execution. Since then, Takahiro had been committing himself to the Noble Silence, a spiritual practice of some Shinseist sects. By keeping his mouth shut—as often as he can, anyway—Takahiro hopes to cleanse his soul and become open to cosmic truths. However, despite not talking, Takahiro is still highly expressive. His flexible eyebrows, dramatic facial expressions, and often exaggerated body language are more than enough to communicate his feelings. It seems unlikely that the Little Teacher would approve.
