Onyekachi 'Kishi'

Full Name: Onyekachi
Nickname(s): N/A
Codename: The Kishi
Alias(es): Bernardo, Ernesto, Adriano, Geraldo
Age: 18
Classification: Kishi (Demon)
Affiliation: Neutral Evil (Controlled by Lawful Good)





Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue
Gender Male
Height: 6'1”
Weight: 173lbs
Other Traits: A Kishi's true form is that of an anthropomorphic hyena. Much of the time the brothers disguise themselves as male humans as pictured above. They are almost identical to one another, well toned and ruffled hair. One of the more noticeable differences is Geraldo's goatee. Adriano has also come down with cataracts and needs glasses, though rarely, if ever, wears them. Although disguised as humans, the brothers maintain a prehensile tail which is capable of holding their own body weight.





Powers:
Demon Physiology
- (Strength) Onyekachi can lift up to 3 tons.
- (Endurance) Onyekachi can withstand up to 5 tons of damage.
- (Metabolism) Onyekachi can consume and digest all parts of humans or animals without needing to prepare his food beforehand. His bodily fluids break down substances such as bone more readily then a human's. For this reason, Kishi blood can cause temporary visual impairment if gotten in the eyes.
- (Senses) Onyekachi demonstrates innate knowledge as to whether a person is a virgin, a demon, holy, or damned. He can sense divine auras given off by religious places and artefacts, or conversely evil auras.
- (Gestalt Form) Any Kishi can merge their body with that of another Kishi, forming a pack. The Onyekachi pack currently consists of four Kishi. They take turns inhabiting or assuming the role of main body. At any time they can split into their four separate bodies. The inhabitants of the main body can sprout body parts from anywhere even if it is anatomically impossible (e.g. an arm out of the back, eyes on the crown of the head). If the main body is damaged, all inhabitants suffer the same damage, even if they separate afterwards.
- (Rejuvenation) Inhabitants of the main body are put into an anatomical limbo. Wounds, no matter how life threatening, cannot kill them until they leave the main body. Meanwhile they undergo a continual rejuvenation. After 12 hours of dormancy inside the main body a Kishi will be fully healed. This way the main body can afford to use the severed body parts of its inhabitants as an attack without fear of their death (e.g. spewing blood, stabbing with rib bones).

Aftershock
Any impact caused by Onyekachi's main body can be induced as many times as there are Kishi inhabiting his body. There are four Kishi brothers. So if they are all inhabiting one body, then the effects of one punch can be repeated three times upon the surface he impacted against. This is known as an aftershock. The aftershocks are not immediate, and Onyekachi can choose when they occur, provided he is within 10 metres of the impact surface and it is less than one hour since the first impact. Impacts can include anything as little as flicking a light switch.

Skills:
- Can insult humans in six different African languages.
- A brilliant cook, as long as it is a meat dish.

Weaknesses:
- One of the brothers, Adriano, has stared at the sun too long and developed a case of mild cataracts. This was developed before he joined the Onyekachi pack and cannot be rectified. He has kept it a secret from his brothers for fear of ridicule. As a result, he suffers from short-sightedness.
- The brothers are inclined to schadenfreude amongst themselves. They may allow one of them to go without aid in the middle of a battle if just to laugh at him.
- Being demonic, Onyekachi reacts adversely to holy places and holy items. For example, holy water burns him and he is incapable of entering church grounds.
- Vegetarian humans are poisonous to all Kishi.
- As stated, any damage inflicted on the main body causes identical damage to all inhabiting Kishi.
- If the brothers don't have skin contact, they cannot fuse together.
- A Kishi which dies cannot be revived through rejuvenation.
- If the body part of an inhabiting Kishi is used and discarded/broken then that Kishi cannot leave the main body for 12 hours until he rejuvenates.
- A Kishi cannot take with him any item on his person when he fuses with another.
- Aftershocks work because multiple Kishi inhabit the space of one body part. It is a spatial anomaly. If the inhabiting Kishi has the impacting limb currently sprouted outside of the main body then he cannot contribute to the aftershock effect.
- Onyekachi has been bound by a set of divine rules. Breaking any of them will cause a headache which increases in severity the more rules broken. These headaches can greatly hinder him and will eventually kill one of the Kishi if they get bad enough. There is one rule exception. Knowingly killing anything for any reason will immediately skip to a fatality for Onyekachi.

Equipment: Scrawny - A giant bird of prey capable of carrying the Kishi on its back, gifted to Onyekachi once he joined Titans United.




Personality: Kishi of lore seduce their female victims before luring them back into their layer to devour. Onyekachi lacks a little in the way of their charisma. He is uncouth, abrasive, and selfishly opportunistic. Readily taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, Onyekachi is evil for the sake of being evil. He acknowledges this and revels in it. Suggestions that he could be anything other than evil are met with mirthful scorn. The brothers are entirely unrepentant of their frequent misdeeds.

He craves violence and enjoys the suffering of others. Anything good and wholesome is seen as lame. He pokes fun at honour and nobility. His immediate response to anything he dislikes is to lash out. To claim to be better at something is to challenge him. He loves competition and is likely to lend respect to those that best him. His pride can be used to motivate him into action.

Since his curse, Onyekachi has had to give up a lot of things. He has discovered that most of his hobbies revolve around hurting others. As such, he has taken up sports and physical exercise as a means of passing the time, and making sure he doesn't snap. He resents performing heroics and is keen to let his benefactors know. Thanking the brothers for any assistance rendered by their enslaved heroics is a grave insult.

He is not sentimental and is rather callous about his fallen brothers. He hates many things but his five top pet peeves in ascending order are apologising, vegetarians, priests, ewoks, and Karma Kharmeleon.

Strengths:
- Whilst the brothers may revel in each others' misfortunes, they will never outright argue. Their personalities are too similar for them to have a falling out unless it is caused abnormally.
- When all inhabiting the same body, it is safe to say Onyekachi has no blind spots, nor an angle he cannot strike from. This makes him a dangerous close combatant.
- Entirely immune to the effects of gore.

Interests/Habits:
- A Kishi laugh sounds just like a hyena.
- Inhabitant Kishi cannot bring clothes with them when they fuse with their brothers. It is also inconvenient for the main body to wear four outfits at the same time. To get round this, the main body will wear one shirt, a pair of jeans, a pair of shorts, a pair of boxers, and a loincloth. The pant coverings can be shared out to maintain modesty.
- Onyekachi has figured out that a cheap way of earning good karma is planting trees, which he often does in the woods outside Jump City.
- Onyekachi will refer to himself in both the plural and singular. Either is correct.
- Onyekachi resents not being able to swear and his discovered the loophole of euphamisms. He makes frequent use of terms such as 's'word' and 'f'wording' despite how ridiculous it sounds. Sometimes he gets more creative (e.g. 'you motherfluffyducker').



Family Members: 6 Kishi 'brothers'
Place of Origin: Angola

History: The Onyekachi tribe were your regular carefree demon troop that made a living slaughtering maidens who fell into their grasp before devouring their innards. They spent their downtime being generally evil and spreading misfortune across the plateau of Angola. As far as Kishi tribes went, they were considered underachievers. They could not sweet-talk a girl like the others and resorted to brute force abductions. This has always been a sore point of contention.

Then one fateful day the brothers stumbled into a town after hours. They had just eaten and were instead seeking a bit of fun. They saw parishioners conducting a ceremony in thanks to some entombed hero. Onyekachi forced open the shrine and pilfered the remains. The brothers desecrated the body before hanging pieces from rafters for all the townspeople to see. They roughed up the assembly organisers as they tried to explain the hero's significance and then set alight some buildings, because why not!

In response to the townspeople's prayers, a comet shot down from the sky and carried off the Kishi. They were flown into another realm. It turned out to be an entity known as the Karma Kharmeleon. Karma was a Lord of Order, albeit a deranged one, and the corpse Onyekachi had desecrated was his most cherished agent. Karma devised a punishment for the Kishi.

Onyekachi was set under a curse. A curse of morality. Whenever he did something Karma considered 'evil' a headache would begin in the demon's skull. If he committed too many bad acts, then one random Kishi from the tribe would die from this headache. Murder was forbidden entirely and should Onyekachi knowingly kill anything for any reason then one of his brothers would immediately perish in response. Those rules were:

- Thou shalt not knowingly kill under any circumstance. ~ Grave Sin (instant termination)
- Thou shalt not swear. ~ Minor Sin (minor headache)
- Thou shalt not ignore those in need. ~ Average Sin (headache)
- Thou shalt not instigate violence without just cause. ~ Major Sin (painful headache)
- Thou shalt not couple. ~ Major Sin (painful headache)
- Thou shalt not wilfully damage or take another person's property without permission. ~ Average Sin (headache)
- Thou shalt not abuse substances thou know to be harmful. ~ Average Sin (headache)
- Thou shalt not gamble for personal gain. ~ Minor Sin (minor headache)
- Thou shalt not knowingly conceal a transgression. ~ Minor Sin (minor headache)
- Thou shalt not maim or cripple under any circumstance. ~ Major Sin (painful headache)
- Thou shalt keep promises. ~ Major Sin (painful headache)
- Thou shalt not knowingly falsely accuse. ~ Average Sin (headache)
- Thou shalt respect the dead. ~ Major Sin (painful headache)
- Thou shalt not withhold life essentials from those in need. ~ Minor Sin (minor headache)
- Thou shalt not knowingly pollute or spread ill. ~ Average Sin (headache)
- Thou shalt not allow anything to set alight by thine hands (or feet, smart-a**). ~ Major Sin (painful headache)

The demon could alleviate his headaches by performing good deeds, which were against his nature. Furthermore, Karma let it be known that the curse would disappear when Onyekachi performed one true altruistic act.

The Lord of Order then deposited them in California. The brothers curse Karma every day. To live a noble life may not sound difficult in theory, but the Kishi took too long to adjust. There used to be ten in their tribe. Now there are just four, the others fallen victim to the headache after careless acts. The remaining brothers came up with a plan. Their need for violence was great but they couldn't commit aggression unless it was in defence of themselves or another. The solution combined their need to perform good deeds. They became a hero.

Karma Kharmeleon has since disappeared, but the curse has not alleviated. Someone else is pulling the strings.

Some time after arriving in Jump City a hero named Kale offered Onyekachi a place on his team. Given their poor financial situation, the Kishi accepted and has since been helping the Titans in return for food and accommodation.
