Appearance
Goki is a tall, sinuously built man, well-muscled and graceful. His hands are calloused, knuckles thick with scarring.
His wardrobe is simple - streetwear or workout attire. His dark hair is kept short.
Maker's Mark
Goki's Marks are subtle but unmistakable. He has an eye-shine in certain lights, and an ability to see in lower light than humans. When he is particularly pleased, he is capable of purring. He does not yet know that this isn't a normal human trait and has found no reason to mention it to a doctor, since it feels pleasant and only happens when he's happy.
History
- Goki was born in Japan, although he has dual citizenship due to his mother being Japanese American. He grew up there, learning both Japanese and English, and spent some of his high school years there before his family abruptly moved to America, to Easthaven specifically, on the the advice of his paternal grandmother.
- This was was a huge upheaval, but the family, Goki included, took it on faith. Her advice has always been sound, often allowing the family to avoid disaster or bring them great fortune. This was the case once more, when his father found a good job with an American company that allowed them to live comfortably. Back home, their old home experienced a flood that might've destroyed the family if they'd still been living there. Goki tries not to think about that too much. He still visits Japan to see his grandmother and extended family.
- For Goki's part, he thrived in America, making new friends and experiencing many things he hadn't back in Japan. He also grew closer to his mother's side of the family. His older sister also found the love of her life, and just recently started a family. He loves being an uncle, so all in all a good thing.
- Still, not everything was perfect. Growing up, he always did poorly in school, except in athletics, so he leveraged that.
- In America, he passed high school and flunked out of college - his grandmother told him not to go, but he wanted to try it anyway. Now he has student debt and no degree, but he hasn't lost heart.
Instead, he's pursuing a career as an MMA fighter instead and his grandmother approves greatly. Goki has long since bought into her fortune-telling abilities and has a great deal of filial loyalty to her.
- Works as a line cook in the meantime. Still thinks about classes but figures that'll come with time.
