Karyoku (火力) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.
Background[edit | edit source]
Karyoku was raised as part of a family with a long past that believed in purity and operated a large feudal Japan-styled spa known as Sun Mountain on the base of a mountain overlooking a large selection of land in the distance. This giant-scale spa contains many outdoor and indoor hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pools of varying sizes spread across a total of five floors. Throughout the year, the spa hosts many classical Japanese festivals, timed to occur on the sunset of the final Saturday of every other month starting from February.
Everyone within Karyoku’s family since his great grandfather possessed a mythical ability- “The Eye of Flames”, signaled by the power of pyrokinesis and one of the user’s eyes bursting into a mighty flame when showing bravery or determination. The Eye of Flames would be passed down generations until reaching Karyoku and his sister Flamenura, both inheriting an additional skill from one each of their parents. Karyoku would inherit his mother’s water manipulation powers while Flamenura would obtain the manipulation of ice and cold from her father. The giant hammer Karyoku possesses is reported to have come from one of his relatives- received when he was only a teenager.
The spa was originally ran by Karyoku’s grandfather when he and Flamenura were brought into the family, and were offered the spa for themselves to operate when they became older. Their grandfather would retire upon Karyoku turning 22, keeping his word and handing ownership of the spa to the duo. With the spa under new management, Karyoku and Flamenura took advice from customers through surveys to improve the quality and condition of the spa without straying too far from the standards their grandfather established. Karyoku made sure to keep the spirits and purity of the bimonthly festivals intact, acting as both the main host and performer with assistance from the rest of the family and a crew of workers he deeply trusts. He is, likewise, in charge of defending the spa and keeping it and its patrons safe, backing down for some dancing and bathing when the danger is removed.
Karyoku is currently a member of a collective group of Asians with elemental powers known as the Kings of the East, alongside Donyeol and Shiroxun.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Karyouku is fun-loving, smug, and gentleman-like, enjoying brightening the atmosphere of those around him and playing the occasional joke to entertain himself. He knows when to get his fists dirty and stand up, refusing to back down for his, his family’s, or his spa’s safety.
Despite oozing with positivity, Karyoku’s attention span is limited and he doesn’t think forwards when in a rush. He’s also easy to stress out, as he expects everything he gets involved in to go smoothly without requiring much thought or planning.
Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]
Karyoku possesses the power of “The Eye of Flames”, a sudden explosive burst of energy that manifests as a burning eye, releasing Karyoku’s inner spirit energy and granting him access to pyrokinesis. He can blast fire from his arms, perform flaming punches and kicks, breathe flames, and spit small fireballs from his mouth. Alongside his fire-based powers, Karyoku specializes in hydrokinesis as well, combining the two forces to attack with steaming hot water formed and shot out of his arms, stomping the ground to create waves of boiling water, and summoning geysers from the ground to catch his opponents off guard and gain extra height by standing atop or blasting off with his own geysers. The geysers can be summoned on water itself below Karyoku’s feet, giving the illusion that he is standing on water.
As Karyoku’s physical strength, while decent, is not very developed, he brings a large Japanese-style hammer into battle. Due to its size, the hammer swings slowly but is very powerful, and is further powered up by Karyoku’s powers, casting heat through the hammer to increase its power. The hammer is used for Karyoku’s ultimate technique- charging up the hammer to its fullest potential with fire and water power before striking it into the ground, causing a sequence of powerful boiling geysers and waves to erupt from the ground and chase their target. It is a very destructive power, one that Karyoku only uses in desperation.
Karyoku is an exceptional swimmer and can deploy an air bubble around his face or body to breathe underwater. As his skills primarily involve fire and water, Karyoku’s attacks do not have the same level of efficiency as they would on land, being limited to pressure blasts of warm water and increasing the temperature of the water surrounding him.
