Jameijin Kirako

Kirako Jameijin (蛇冥神 煌子, Jameijin Kirako) is one of Japan's Four Great Sukeban and also the de facto leader of the Kansai Krusaders.

Early Life
Kirako was raised in Benten Orphanage in a small rural town within Japan's Kansai district with these circumstances at the fault of neither herself nor her parents. Her mother had died during childbirth and her father perished shortly after in a vehicle accident, leaving her alone at merely three months of age. However, authorities were quickly notified and Kirako saw herself growing up in a family larger than she had bargained for. While growing up, Kirako quickly became aware that she was a rather unusual kid compared to the other children, exhibiting a greater degree of physical prowess and mental plasticity which drove her to the top of her class in both the orphanage and the elementary school that they attended.

She oftentimes found herself in leadership positions as others naturally gravitated towards her and although she enjoyed the attention, she never soaked too long in it. Instead, she strove to use the influence that she possessed with the other children to make a positive and lasting impact on their lives, oftentimes encouraging and helping them to learn and master skills that they became interested in. While Kirako found satisfaction in helping others improve and progress, she hadn't yet found what to dedicate herself to until she encountered a mysterious individual who changed her entire life.

Ballin' Boarder
It was during one day when Kirako was heading home with her classmates that she passed by the local skatepark and witnessed a feat that would change the rest of her life. Although the skatepark was usually empty, on that day there was a single girl riding the half-pipe and soaring high into the air before landing an incredible 1080. A feeling of awe and wonder had welled up deep inside of Kirako upon seeing this, and the black embroidered "天" character on the girl's blazer generated a burning desire within Kirako's heart. After approaching this girl, Kirako resolved to take up skateboarding and one day reach the heights of her skill, vowing to only meet her when she had achieved such heights.

Yet not even Kirako knew that she would soon surpass the mysterious girl's skateboarding prowess after making such a pact. Initially, Kirako suffered from landing primo and failing to gain air on the vert but she soon resolved to improve not by repeatedly failing, but rather looking for inspiration and enlightenment from other activities. Because of the fast-paced gameplay and emphasis on gaining mad air, Kirako decided to take a shot at basketball, achieving mastery in the game within merely a month. It was then that she returned to skateboarding, determined to translate her dunking skills to gaining air on the vert. To her own surprise, she had managed to pull off the world's first 4320, landing her into the annals of the history books as the greatest skateboarder to ever grace the planet.

Krusadin' in Kansai
During Kirako's high school years, Japan soon became plagued with various supernatural phenomena suddenly manifesting as if the world had overlapped with fiction. Because of the chaos which arose from the appearance of mythical creatures, the crime rate in Japan had risen greatly and upon seeing her home being tarnished by petty criminals and unleashed supernatural beasts, Kirako decided to step up and fix what had been wrought. Banding together with a group of her friends in order to cull the disorder and bring down the massive crime empires which had formed in a brief period of time. Because of their activities, Kirako and her friends grew a tight-knit relationship with the Kansai region's police departments. While Kirako and her friends fought, their numbers grew rapidly as more and more youth who wished to see their streets safe once more joined up, eventually causing Kirako to formally establish the street gang as the Kansai Krusaders. It was also during this period that Kirako met several talented individuals who soon became trusted officers and close friends in the gang, allowing it to blossom into a force that would be powerful enough to oppose the true origin of these supernatural occurrences.

Heelflippin' Crazy
During a battle against Yama in the Yomi-no-Kuni, Kirako was forced to use her full power in order to perform a heelflip that ultimately rendered Yama unconscious for sixty-nine years. However, in doing so Kirako had accidentally accelerated the inception of a trans-dimensional rift which an entity known as Scheheradule XIII was forcing open in order to bring her forces to bear against Earth. It was during this period that Earth was thrown into a mass turmoil as its denizens experienced the threat of a mass extinction level event. However, Kirako and the Kansai Krusaders banded together along with the other influential street gangs of Japan, meeting various comrades and friends as she fought against the forces of Scheheradule XIII and her generals. Throughout the year long battle, Kirako and the Kansai Krusaders experienced various Scenarios and fought opponents which could bend reality to their will, but eventually emerged victorious before Scheheradule XIII was able to complete her plans. However, it was only following Scheheradule XIII's defeat that Kirako and her allies would discover that Scheheradule XIII's motives were actually benign despite her method of execution.

Stoppin' Time
Following Scheheradule XIII's defeat, Kirako and the Kansai Krusaders had several months to help with the restoration of critically damaged areas in Japan before the next threat reared its head. During a brief skateboarding escapade with her friend, the Earth suddenly witnessed a massive temporal distortion in the sky, opening a large rift from which Time itself appeared in a personified form. Originally, the denizens of Earth believed that Time had come to right certain paradoxes and anomalies caused by Scheheradule XIII and her generals, but it was soon apparent that Time was not only here to cause harm, but also erase the personal temporal signatures of each person and collapse them into a singularity. Kirako and the Kansai Krusaders immediately mobilized along with the other street gangs of Japan in order to tackle this global threat; however, doing so was incredibly difficult as a result of Time's ability to manipulate, combine, and isolate timelines and universes in order to form paradoxes and impossibilities. More importantly, Time had saw fit to completely isolate Kizuki Ami from the Kansai Krusaders, forcing Kirako to divide her efforts between recovering Ami and defeating Time. When the Kansai Krusaders finally confronted Time, it was revealed that only those who were Holders were capable of harming Time, forcing Kirako to unite with the other Great Sukeban of Japan in order to inherit the Bromnipotence and deal the final blow to Time itself.

Jumpin' Universes
Following the defeat of Time itself, Kirako and the Kansai Krusaders enjoyed a brief moment of respite. Kirako's relinquishing of Bromnipotence in order to forge the Last Fragment of Hope had brought up several questions and hypotheses regarding Humanity's Last Test, especially with the birth of a mysterious life form known only as "K". Unfortunately, Kirako herself was unable to contribute to any further investigation as she was suddenly transported into another world located in a vastly different quadrant of the Cosmomap while attempting to break her own personal record for skating speed. Kirako found herself in a faraway world on a planet known as Golarion, much like the isekai manga that she had read during her youth. Although her sudden disappearance worried her and the Kansai Krusaders back home who were spooked by her sudden disappearance, Kirako quickly recognized that the new world that she had inadvertently been transported to had problems of its own. Resolving to help the denizens of Golarion settle their issues while attempting to find a way to return to Earth, Kirako set out to a newly discovered island known as Aercys.

Speedin' Back
After solving a few issues in Aercys, Kirako was suddenly transported back to Earth Prime. Although it was abrupt and she was left with many regrets and things undone, she took it in stride. She was a foreign existence in that world, after all, and she had sorely missed her friends who welcomed her back with great fanfare. Much to her dismay, Kirako was informed that "K" had been taken away from the Kansai Krusaders for a brief moment by a member of the Society for Extraordinary Aberrants and shipped off to the Americas as a result of some joint research program. Displeased, Kirako sought to make a formal complaint towards the chairwoman, though the Kansai Krusaders managed to rein her in, informing her that this would be a prime chance to find out "K's" true nature. Although unhappy with inaction, Kirako would choose to watch and wait, but only for so long.

Personality
Kirako is ultimately defined by her fiery and unpredictable personality in most situations. Often likened to a chaotic force of nature, Kirako's antics and abilities derive from her intrinsic confidence and unshakeable will. She actively seeks out challenges and deliberately takes the path of greatest resistance in order to test her mettle and the strength of those who follow her. Despite this, Kirako is not prone to overconfidence nor does she feel the need to compete with others, only that she has communicated her message clearly and deliberately in both actions and words.

When the situation demands, Kirako is capable of keeping a level head and making well-informed judgements, though she primarily enjoys simply going with the flow and allowing herself to simply make moves at the same pace that her environment does, likening it to a game of chess against the world itself. Additionally, Kirako is a staunch supporter of the tenets of Bushido, noting that a person has nothing without honor regardless of the strength or power that they hold.

Powers and Abilities
As the Holder of Progression, Kirako possesses an enormous well of inner strength that she can summon at will, allowing her to bolster her physical capabilities or even manifest supernatural phenomena if she desires. However, Kirako mainly relies on her sick skateboard tricks and training in various martial arts in order to combat an opponent. As of 2077, Kirako is considered one of the strongest humans on Earth and is classified as an anomaly by most organizations which seek to govern supernatural persons.

Holder of Progression
Kirako's power of Progression stems from an inborn Qualification to wield it and she manifests it in the form of what she calls "GUTS". Depending on the Universal Constraint at the time, this ability waxes and wanes in strength, growing and diminishing in relation to the magnitude of the threat that humanity as a whole is currently facing. At its nadir, Kirako is capable of utilizing Progression to bolster her physical capabilities and willpower as well as unlock hidden reserves of strength and stamina in those who look towards her.

At its zenith, the power of Progression transforms Kirako into a strength to be reckoned with even against the strongest of contenders as it grants her superhuman resilience and durability as well as the strength to strike at the four hundred twenty times the Universal Constraint and move at speeds that exceed even the Third Cosmic Velocity. Additionally, Kirako is capable of utilizing the power of Progression to create supernatural phenomena such as beams or blasts and even achieve feats such as spontaneous healing. She has also shown the ability to infuse the power of Progression into others through physical contact, either helping or hindering them depending on her intent. The power of Progression also amplifies any powers that she already possesses, enabling even the weakest power to become the strongest. It is important to note that the power of Progression has demonstrated no upper limit in which it can increase Kirako's abilities, only that it is dependent on the level of threat that humanity currently faces.

Qualification of Steadfastness
Although not a particularly powerful Qualification, Kirako was born with a rare second Qualification which grants her complete immunity against external forces that would shift her locality in space-time if she does not desire to be moved. However, this does not stop any damage that she would incur as a result of an external force acting upon her, and she must actively concentrate in order to utilize this Qualification. Kirako considers it a Qualification not even worth mentioning, but it has ironically played a large part in most of her major battles, if not all.

Physical Abilities

 * Martial Arts: Kirako is a first dan (初段, shodan) in Kyokushin Karate (極真, Kyokushin) and has completed the famed "100 man kumite" (百人組手, hyakunin kumite) in the span of a single day. Additionally, she has received instruction in the legendary Jinryuudo Martial Arts, becoming a proficient practitioner in the art after only a year of training.
 * Skateboarding: Kirako is capable of pulling off seemingly impossible skateboarding tricks such as a 4320 on a half-pipe and completing eighteen full rotations midair after only having gained air from a stationary flat-ground kickflip. Although these feats are simply physically and logically impossible, she has managed to pull them off without supernatural aid under controlled conditions.
 * Basketball: Although not as supernaturally honed as her skateboarding techniques, Kirako is a master of the b-ball and capable of breaking nearly everyone's ankles.
 * Bottomless Stomach, Ceaseless Metabolism: Kirako is capable of consuming an incredibly large amount of food despite her body size and possesses an incredibly optimal metabolic efficiency, allowing for her to maintain her current physique with little to no effort regardless of the amount that she eats. However, there are still some limits to this metabolism and it renders bulking or cutting an extremely difficult ordeal for Kirako to undertake.
 * Unbreakable: Kirako's willpower has been shown to be utterly unbreakable even when pitted against the Overgod itself. Whether or not this is an intrinsic and natural ability or a result of the power of Progression remains to be seen; however, she has exhibited this quality even when the power of Progression was at its weakest, implying that it is more of the former.
 * Badassery: Kirako is capable of harnessing the universal force of Badassery to produce minor effects such as causing her blazer to billow in an unseen wind or prevent her cap from falling off in the midst of heated battle. She is also capable of utilizing it to create visual effects such as flames, sparks, or other such luminous entities whenever necessary.

Former Powers and Abilities

 * Bromnipotence: During the WAIT, Kirako inherited the power of Bromnipotence before she fought against Time. While infused with the Bromnipotence, Kirako's body became increasingly unstable due to the incredible Broforce that flowed through her, but this allowed her to perform incredible feats such as forcing Time to become a tangible object which enabled her to manipulate events through her physical strength alone. Additionally, she was capable of utilizing the abilities of the other Fragments of Humanity as well as withstand being erased from totality. By relinquishing the Bromnipotence, Kirako was able to forge the Last Fragment of Hope.
 * Holder of Destruction: While infused with the Bromnipotence, Kirako was capable of utilizing Tennou Mikado's Fragment of Humanity which gave her the ability to strike with a force that shattered the stars and sealed the Heavens. Using this strength, Kirako could shatter the Time before Time itself, causing irreversible damage to Time's physical manifestation.
 * Holder of Rejection: While infused with the Bromnipotence, Kirako was capable of utilizing Seira Hoshikoi's Fragment of Humanity which gave her the ability to negate phenomena merely by willing it. Using this ability, Kirako could prevent Time from utilizing any phenomena intervention against Kirako and remove Time's causal and conceptual defenses.
 * Holder of Creation: While infused with the Bromnipotence, Kirako was capable of utilizing Tensa Maihime's Fragment of Humanity which gave her the ability to create or manipulate matter at will. Using this ability, Kirako was capable of creating miniature compressed universes within her palms and launching them as projectile weapons.

Trivia

 * Kirako refers to herself with "ore" (俺, ore) despite being a woman.
