Taiyou "Kidzukene" Kazune
a.k.a. Yuki - 「歌手音」

20

Male

Indian

Taiyou is, at first glance, normal. He's fairly light skinned, but obviously Indian. Coal eyes and coal hair make for a somewhat uninteresting individual. Taiyou's hair is somewhat long and is usually brushed to one side, keeping it out of his face, but it is large and poofy enough to always seem unkempt. Taiyou stands at 180 centimeters, with a somewhat lanky build. The slight bags under his eyes can trick people into thinking he's not worth much, especially with his usual slouch. All these variable components come together to form a Taiyou that can seem respectable and proper, tired and unreliable, or creepy and dangerous. There's no mistake, Taiyou is inconsistent at best. His clothes of choice would be a simple pair of cargo pants, a sweater on top of a long sleeved shirt, and if he had the option, a scarf.

In order to activate this sword art, Taiyou must stand tall, unslouching, with the heel of his right leg picked up slightly. The user brings their right hand up and raises their middle finger while slamming their heel into the ground. The shockwave from impact travels up structures and across the ground, hitting up to three opponents, dealing minimal damage in return for inflicting the 'hate' effect on targets hit. A cocky grin on your face is recommended. While performing this sword art, the user's feet glow dark red. 1 special point goes towards hitting extra targets, the remaining three go towards inflicting the hate status.

In order to activate this sword art, Taiyou must straighten his back and stop slouching, bending his right knee slightly. The user's hands sit lightly just inside their pockets. The user then moves forwards in front of an incoming attack, grabbing the attacking area and the related joint (e.g. the wrist and shoulder). Taking a step at an angle to the motion of the attack, the user pushes the target over. This technique unbalances an opponent and knocks them over in response to an attack, a countering move that makes use of the enemy's pride. The target will be pushed backwards and have a chance to knock the target off their feet entirely instead of just repelling them. Both special points are going towards the 'tumble' debuff.

-Normal: Taiyou is normal. It's a bit strange to see in SAO, but he's not a sociopath, wasn't born into a murder program, and isn't going to stab you to pieces if you look at him the wrong way. He's got his quirks, but he's normal. In SAO, that normality is often reassuring.
-Quick Witted: Taiyou is intelligent, but more than that, he's quick. It's rare that he can focus all his attention on one thing, but Taiyou is definitely a bit quicker to the punch than your average individual and has a surplus of knowledge to boot.

-Unpredictable: Taiyou may be normal, but that doesn't mean he's predictable. That might be a good thing, but it can often make his actions seem unreasonable or strange. He does what he thinks is good and can sometimes seem unnatural, strangely calm, or overly blunt. Cold, harsh, strange, these are all things that people have said Taiyou is. He's somewhat fickle and is a non-constant. It might be best to think of him as a joker in the deck that might be dealt to either you or your opponent.
-Stubborn: It's a bit mismatched, but Taiyou can be unbelievably stubborn. He might change his own mind easily, but forcing him to change his mind or accept things he doesn't want to can be an incredibly daunting task.

Taiyou likes to know things. He likes to learn new things. He loves languages. He doesn't like being pushed around and doesn't like bullies. He has a very strong interest in stories and ideas as a result of his fast-track brain. When he writes, the idea of multiple perspectives or multiple dimensions often appears as a result of all the 'what if' questions that bound around in his head.

"There's nothing to say. Born, grew up, moved from India to the US. Lived in Califonia. Taiyou wasn't born Taiyou, but that became his name later in life. There's nothing to tell. Taiyou is... normal.

I said he was normal, I'm not sure why you don't believe me. Everything was perfectly and absolutely normal. From age ten to age eighteen. Absolutely no instances of anything strange occurring, no problems whatsoever. Taiyou was a normal, healthy child. All the way from 4th grade to 12th. I guess the one strange thing is that he moved to a different country and changed his legal name, but eh. Also he seems to have internet friends.

It's been a while since I've last seen that guy. He should have already turned twenty, right? I remember hearing something in the news about his new name, but I didn't really know it was Taiyou until later. I'm not really sure what that guy is up to, but he's always been somewhat normal. At least, that's what I think."

There wasn't really much reaction to Kayaba's announcement. Taiyou shrugged, sighed, and walked away. He would still accomplish his goal either way, it just meant he had a more in depth chance to investigate. It was a bit saddening, as after finally changing his fate, he had been pulled in a completely different direction, but if it was a game that could house 10,000 players, then there would be no shortage of research materials. Besides, there was zero chance of someone he knew showing up, which was better still.

So Taiyou shrugged, scoffed a bit, and turned around, heading straight for the edge of the world. His intention wasn't to leap, but rather to prevent others from leaping. Without returning back to town for three weeks, Taiyou continuously did his best to turn people around. Now, the plan is to exist and move forward.
