Izumo Kusanagi [Approved; No Tier]

Basics

Name: Kusanagi, Izumo
ALIAS:
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height: 5'10
Weight: 150lbs

Personality:
Calm, cool, and collected. For someone who uses fire-based powers, that's not something many people see. He's just as calm in dangerous or extreme situations as he is running his bar. He retains this trait even when in the midst of a battle. However, because of his nature, others often tend to be intimidated by him. Additionally, he is quite intelligent and knowledgeable of the people or things around him. Izumo tends to have a high amount of information on specific people's backgrounds and has been remarked for doing "shady" business with various associates, which is a primary attribute to his extensive knowledge of the matter. He is also an avid smoker.
Though a very matured person in several aspects, especially personality, Izumo does tend to overreact when his bar is damaged in any form, showing his extreme care and dedication for the building. And by overreact, he's known to "scare the every-loving shit" out of anyone in the bar. Similarly, his fondness for his bar demonstrates his own admiration for culture such as art and history. Complimenting his more adult status among his friends, Izumo is also quite a womanizer, claiming to have been in many relationships throughout his life. Additionally, Izumo is known for flirting or otherwise complimenting young women for their beauty.
Appearance

Appearance: Izumo is a tall, slim young man with short blonde hair and brown eyes. Izumo typically wears a long sleeved white shirt with an upturned collar, usually including a red scarf fashioned similarly to a necktie or a black scarf wrapped over it and around his shoulders, furthermore underneath an opened black jacket. He wears blue jeans held up by a brown belt with a unique, layered buckle, and black shoes, which are adorned with a white padding on the nose.

At one point, Izumo also wears a long-sleeved, dark blue shirt with black patches of cloth on the shoulders. Wrapped round his neck is a short, dark blue poncho patterned with white lines intersecting each other and tassels hanging on the borders. Izumo's poncho is tucked under a high-collared, black jacket that accordingly fits with his simple black trousers and black shoes.

In his youth, Izumo's appearance was much more carefree than it is currently. When he was still in his teenage years, his hair was unkempt and his bangs fell freely over his forehead. In his early twenties, however, Izumo began combing his hair more neatly and pushed his bangs away from his face. Izumo wore more casual clothes when he was a teenager. It usually consisted of a white shirt underneath a buttoned, but relatively loose, black jacket with a distinct high, block-edged collar. There were two breast pockets closed by a single, double-layered silver button in contrast to the singular ones that close up the jacket alone. He wore dark blue pants held up by a brown and diamond-patterned belt, furthermore with dark shoes.

As the years passed on Izumo would later wear a white shirt underneath a thick, padded dark brown jacket carrying multiple pockets on the front; totaled to four, with one on each front and an additional below each near the stomach. His pants were dark blue and with multiple chains attached to his right pockets. Izumo also wore dark-colored shoes. Since he was 24 years-old, Izumo began wearing black-rimmed sunglasses with purple shades at all times.

Combat

Equipment:
Fireball Cigarettes: When lit, Izumo can thip the ashes to create ten small (marble-sized) fireballs. They're not dangerous, but they do provide great distraction.
Firestorm Lighter: Izumo's zippo-style lighter can, by pressing up the small safety switch, use all of its fluid in a single, 10-foot-long burst of fire. This lasts for about 5 seconds before dying out.
Skills:
Master Bartender: Izumo is perhaps one of the best bartenders in Varedia, if not the best.
Master Liar: Izumo leads a second life as "The Bartender," the leader of Black Cross. No one else knows this, and he keeps all traces of it hidden away.

History and Roleplay Sample

History:
Izumo doesn't speak of his childhood. He had a relatively normal life, up until middle school. He met a man whom no middle schooler should be hanging out with. He was a middle-aged man whose white hair formed a perfect inverted "U" shape around his head. He called himself "The Conductor." Izumo and the Conductor quickly became friends, with the Conductor occasionally even took the young boy out to see operas and plays, and would give him backstage passes to the plays in which he conducted the score to.

Izumo had a good bit of fun with the Conductor, even into high school. And even as he got older, the Conductor never lost interest in him. It was because of the Conductor he even took up smoking, although the Conductor smoked out of a pipe he kept concealed in a cane. The Conductor got Izumo a job at a local Varedian playhouse as an usher. One night, the bartender collapsed, and they needed a replacement. Izumo volunteered, even though he had no experience. However, that seemed to be more of his calling than anything else, and he enjoyed it.

The Conductor also took note of this. One day, he brought Izumo into his room. He told him that the playhouse was shutting down, and that he was retiring. It was sad for Izumo, but the man was getting up into his years. The Conductor told Izumo one last thing before they bade farewell to one another. He told him "You have a knack for handling people. You'll be doing that for a long time, friend." Izumo didn't understand what he meant at that time... But that was three years ago, and now he clearly understands what the Conductor meant. A friend who is now a frequent customer (as well as its bouncer, at least that's what Izumo calls him) gave him a very prestigious position, and he's been handling that in secret for two years.
