Name: Minami "Ikki" Itsuki
Series: Air Gear
Character Age: 15

Canon: Air Gear is about Storm Riders, punk kids who ride around on Air Treks (A-Ts, or motorized rollerblades) and form gangs to fight in gravity-defying battles to gain more territory and recognition. After being beaten and humiliated by a group of psycho Storm Riders known as the Skull Saders, our hero Ikki was about to give up on his manhood, but the the domineering sisters he lives with who usually use Ikki as their servant give him the chance to get his vengeance - by gifting him with a pair of A-T of his own. After winning against the enemy and getting addicted to the sensation of "flying", Ikki forms a Storm Rider team of his own with his childhood friends, beginning a quest to become a True Shounen Hero by owning bad guys, making them gay for him, and then getting them to join his team.

As the leader of the Kogarasumaru, Ikki is passionate, dependable, and strong, but he's also reckless and disregards the rules, all the while referring to himself as a God. He's constantly making his mark on the A-T world and gathering the attention of other talented Storm Riders in true shounen retard fashion. Though he claims to be a genius - and very well might be - Ikki's logic can be very SPECIAL. This is evident in plenty of what he says and does, such as declaring he's not effected by a rock-shattering punch to the face because he "had a skull implanted in his forehead," showing up naked behind an opponent to scare him, or using a bulldozer to declare battle on a team. Between that and the crow that lives in his hair that he sometimes uses to shoot at people, it's no surprise that he's referred to by even his most devoted teammates as the "stupid hero."

I'd heard rumors, but man, you guys are the most pathetic-looking team I've ever seen! Sure, the Living Dead sounds like a great team name - even I can respect how scary the dead can be! - but costumes alone aren't enough to prove your skill, since presentation is only a part of the team dynamic. Ignoring the fact you're ripping off a classic movie here, I can still pity you, deep down in my heart. And I mean deep down. It must be hard without a humble, genius leader like myself to lead you down the path of badassness. But you know what? Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll give you a quick lesson right now. Rule Number One of How To Be A Badass Team: PAY ATTENTION when another team is challenging you! Even the greatest teams know when to get down on their knees and give respect!

Listening now? Let me tell you what's about to happen! As soon as everyone else arrives, This God Ikki and his legion of loyal followers will show you that it's a bad idea not to take the Kogarasumasu seriously! Do you know what happened to the last team that underestimated us? We kicked their asses so hard they've been shitting themselves for weeks! So now that you know who I am, you should be trembling in fear! Well, are you?

-- Wait, why are you walking away!? You can't walk away from a challenge! Alright, if you want to be technical, you can't hobble away from a -- hey, hold up a sec! Where are your A-Ts? Oi, I'm talking to you!

I'VE SEEN NEWBORNS WITH BIGGER BALLS THAN YOU GUYS. What a waste of time! No A-Ts?! Maybe this is some sort of psychological warfare, some way they're gonna fuck with me to change my mind... wait, I got it! I bet these guys put this swamp together as an elaborate plan to spook me out in the hopes that by chance I'd recognize such a classic horror cliche, afterwards realizing "Oh snap, I'm gonna be battling against zombie wannabes." And then I'll remember that zombies eat brains and start to wonder if this team does the same thing like the fucking crazy cultists they are, and by the time I realize that it's all a great big hoax I've already ran away with my tail between my legs. Well?! I'm right, aren't I?

I knew it! Man, I'm such a genius. It was an audacious attempt, but if you think something like that will fool this God-like being, think again! I've already come up with a brilliant strategy to counteract your mind-fuck, one that the future generation, so awed by it's greatness, will try and fail to copy for years to come! You know what I'm going to do?

Absolutely nothing. Oh yeah, I bet you're trembling now.
