Go get em', Tiger.
" When the shot clock is counting down, and everyone's all beat with bated breaths, that's when a player's true colors come out. The court becomes filled with beasts, and in that moment, it becomes a game that depends on every tooth and nail. It's not just basketball, it's life. You've heard that saying before, haven't you, son? Basketball, is life." "That's Ohashi's Tiger, Kumatora. He doesn't speak to anyone unless they know who won the PlayOffs in 93'. How can anyone like basketball so much? He never lets go of that ball." "You're g-g-g-great, Tora!" [Student Identification Picture] [Name of Student]: Kumatora, (Tiger) Tora [Year of Student]: Eleventh [Age of Student]: 18 [Gender of Student]: M [History of Student]: Aptly named 'The Tiger' of Ohashi, Kumatora is best known as the man who never lets the ball stray too far behind him. As if attached by string, Kumatora carries his basketball, signed with the name "Takeshi" with him wherever he goes, with inquiries about his fascination of the sport often left unanswered. Outwardly, anyone would claim that his obsession with basketball has left him mostly detached from his peers, as he refuses to speak to anyone, let alone participate in anything outside of said sports activity. This, as anyone would expect, has left him devoid of any friends, let alone social skills. But his prowess on the court is unparallelled, as true to his moniker as the striped beast, his years at Ohashi have provided many a plaque and trophy, much to the community's appeal. Just what is it that drives him, and what does the name, "Takeshi" mean to him? To Kumatora, basketball is a testament of the better times, to a time where a family of five once thrived off the happiness of their kin, and mother's Sunday breakfast. To a time, where Abbadon meant nothing to their once small world, and where father's jump shot was once a force to be reckoned with. To a place, where Ayumu had once lived. Ayumu was Tora's younger brother, about 5 years distant. To Ayumu, Tora was the greatest brother in the world. An aspiring child with dreams of taking his skills to the league, that dream had ended up short lived, upon being diagnosed with cancer. Cancer, being at the time an obstacle not yet faced by the Ohashi Group, had left young Ayumu bedridden, and Tora no more worse for wear. Upon his deathbed, Ayumu, having always requested Tora to do so, had asked to see what basketball was like one last time, leaving a teary eyed Tora more than willing to comply. Leaving his lasting memento, his own signature emblazoned upon Tora's ball, Ayumu perished shortly after, and with him, so did the future of a happy family die out, too. With their parents divorcing, Tora had decided to stay with his mother, opting to remain in Neo-Tokyo, where the dreams of his late brother once lived. Taking it upon himself to live up to his younger brothers aspirations, Tora strived to be known as the greatest basketball player who ever lived, an ongoing will to an undying flame. [Personality of Student]: Kumatora can be best described as an enigma of sorts. He prefers keeping to himself, and carries an uninterested view of his surroundings. An extreme determinator, he has little interest for wasting time, and as such, can be relatively easy to discuss topics with that pertains to his knowledge. He is also rather secretive, preferring to work on his own, as well as keep comments and bits of information to himself, unless detrimental to do so. He is, however, a human being with a clear sense of morality, and an underlying idea of justice. He is rather rude and blunt, though most likely due to his lack of social interactions. It is rare to see him outside of his element, and as such, one can never take account of his fits of tears and woes when he thinks on his little brother. He cries alone after every game. [Specialty of Student]: Fine precision. [Inventory]: Two photos (One of his family, the other of Ayumu separately), a signed basketball. [Social Links]: -- [Arcana]: --Hierophant [Persona]: Gusion Do not forget that I am here, and that I am waiting. To you, who are one with me, I ask that you call my name at any time. [Persona Identification Picture] Above all other things, the demon Gusion is a diplomat. As one of the Dukes of the demon spirit world, he is known to be a blunt, but honest speaker. He seems to take his role of intermediary between the spirit world and the living very seriously, and will answer all questions as long as they are related to his particular skills and interests. [Skill List]: -Bufu Tarunda Dia Dodge Wind-.
