Alignment: Neutral Good/Chaotic Good
Appearance:
Koyami
Kensaku
Age: 23
Personality:
Koyami: Hedonistic and relaxed, Koyami typically has a casual and somewhat flirtatious demeanor. She’s willing to do what it takes to get her job done, but likes to try and enjoy herself during the process. When she’s with Kensaku, she also has a tendency to act as a mediator between him and whoever he’s currently in an argument with.
Kensaku: Aggressive and ambitious, Kensaku is well known for his love of fighting. When given the chance, he’ll gladly find a reason to start or join a fight, but does have certain limits to what he’ll get involved with. He can be surprisingly thoughtful and pragmatic, but typically prefers to let his sister do most of the thinking and negotiating for him.
Gender:
Koyami: Female
Kensaku: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Pronouns:
Koyami: She/Her
Kensaku: He/Him
Occupation: Vigilantes/Heroes for Hire
Weapons/Paraphernalia: While both of them carry durable cell phones, Koyami’s the only one that brings anything else. Specifically, she carries business cards, microphones, and cameras. The latter two are connected to an app that she and her brother have, and are planted to monitor and eavesdrop on areas too far for them to hear.
Fighting Style: MMA
Description: Both siblings have trained in MMA, and each has their specialties and preferences. Koyami mainly focuses on Kickboxing and relies on speed, precision, and various tricks to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, Kensaku relies on Boxing and Wrestling to overpower opponents in typically brutal fashion. It’s often been noted that he seems more like a brawler, but the level of technical skill and versatility he can display at times can dispel that notion. Both are willing to make use of their animalistic attributes, such as biting, scratching, and use of their sonic capabilities.
Techniques: N/A
Skills/Traits:
Beastfolk Physique: Both siblings are natural born beastfolk, granting them enhanced physical traits and senses. They both have claws, fangs, night vision, wall crawling, and echolocation. It’s also noteworthy that they have different builds; Koyami is faster and more agile, while Kensaku is stronger and more durable.
Sonic Control: The twins also possess a level of sonokinesis, which is demonstrated by the control they have over their vocalizations. Koyami is capable of hypnotizing others via her voice, which she can project over long distances. She mainly uses this to stun, distract, and harmlessly incapacitate others, though she can also use it to make them reveal information. Kensaku on the other hand has a more destructive voice, often emitted as a loud shout directed at his opponents. Thanks to his own training, he can adjust the intensity and range, as well as compress the sound into a beam that can pierce through most targets.

Weaknesses:
Koyami:
She can be overwhelmed through time and force.
Opponents with good enough reflexes or movement speed could react to, keep up with, and even predict her movements.
Though she’s stronger than the average human, she has to rely on momentum to land any exceptionally strong attacks.
Anyone that can’t hear her hypnotic voice won’t be affected.
The stronger the target’s willpower or the less they can hear her, the harder it is to effectively control them.
Against more durable opponents, she has to either wear them down or let her brother handle them.
Her senses can be used against her, especially via bright lights and loud noises.
Kensaku:
He can be overwhelmed through time and force.
His love of combat could be exploited, especially if he doesn’t notice what he’s getting himself into.
Using his sonic scream at high intensities will tire him out and temporarily weaken his voice.
Faster opponents can outmaneuver him.
Though he’s willing to use weapons if necessary, he typically prefers to fight opponents head on without them.
At long enough ranges, his sonic scream will have a reduced effect, forcing him to either get closer or compress it into a beam.
His senses could be used against him, especially via bright lights. His sensitivity to sound is somewhat less than his sister’s thanks to training, but can still be exploited.
Backstory: N/A
Extra Info:
Koyami’s 5’10”, while Kensaku’s 6’3”. Both are fluent in Japanese, English, Spanish, and several other languages.
Before becoming a vigilante duo, Koyami was a private detective who got tired of the limits on what she could do. Kensaku was an underground fighter and part-time bouncer who just wanted to fight more challenging opponents. Both decided to work together as vigilantes, as well as try to make money protecting people.
Kensaku was the reason they started working as heroes for hire, as he got the idea by reading comics. Koyami simply agreed due to the chance to get paid.
Both of them make frequent use of echolocation, and both know when to cover their ears so the other can use their sonic abilities.
Koyami typically makes more use of her claws, while biting is a habit Kensaku gained from underground fights.
When they’re off the job, Koyami mainly spends her time online or watching TV, while Kensaku usually either trains or plays video games.
