Base of Operations: Kobe, Japan. (Has major offices in Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York, London, and Frankfurt)
Past Group Affiliations: X-Terminators
Known Powers:
Transmutation: Remarkable. Taki possesses the mutant ability to transmute metal, plastic, glass, and rubber into any shape or form that he can conceive with this ability. Anything that Taki creates has Power Rank statistics: a gun would do Power Rank Force or Energy damage, a helicopter would have Power Rank Air Speed. Taki cannot create objects out of thin air: he must have something to work with. Normally he uses his own wheelchair for transmutations, but he can alter other objects. The only limitation his transformations have is that energy must be supplied. The power source in his wheelchair only has enough power to provide the equivalent of Good lifting strength. Other objects will have Strength equal to their own weight. Taki can create generators that refocus energy from other sources, such as the mutant Boom-Boom's Time Bombs.
Immediately after the events of Inferno, Taki has lost much of his power and could only create objects that he can imagine in detail. For instance, he would have to know how to design a computer to create one. This will normally necessitate a Yellow or Red Reason FEAT roll, although simple objects (such as wheeled vehicles, simple projectile weapons, etc.) may require either a Green FEAT roll or no roll whatsoever based on the simplicity of the object in question.
Takeshi has not developed this ability since leaving St. Simons Academy.
Equipment:
Hoverchair: Taki lost the use of his legs in an automobile accident and was unable to walk for a majority of his life. His normally moves around in a hoverchair that has Remarkable air speed with an altitude of no more than one foot, Good material Strength, Excellent control, and Good Protection.
Weakness:
Dyslexia: Taki suffers from dyslexia, but he has gotten it under control to a point that he needs a Yellow Reason FEAT to read, and the same to write.
Talents:
Physics, Computers, Electronics, and Repair/Tinkering skills plus skills at constructing vehicles of any sort, and receives a + 1CS there as well
He now also has Business/Finance.
Contacts:
Takeshi has not kept in contact with any of his early mutant friends (Leech, Artie Maddicks, Rusty, Skids, Boom-Boom, Richtor, Jean Grey, Beast, Cyclops, or Iceman). It is unknown if the first six in the above list would come to his aid.
Role-Playing Notes:
Originally, Taki had a large chip on his shoulder and considered himself superior to his fellow students, teachers and most other people as well. For a time, he counted Artie Maddicks and Leech as close friends.
After returning to Japan, he has again adopted his aloof attitude.
History:
Taki is the son of Japanese-American citizens who were killed in an automobile accident when he was about six. That same accident cost him the use of his legs. An uncle took him in, but viewed him as a burden and shipped him off to St. Simons Academy for Pre-Adolescents. That same uncle felt a responsibility to attempt to have Taki healed, but the efforts of various doctors proved useless.
At St. Simons, Taki
encountered the mutants Leech and Artie Maddicks who had been sent there by
X-Factor. At that time the demon N'astirh had been sent to Earth by S'ym
to find children of power. Leech and Artie were kidnapped and Taki's
mutant power manifested for the first time when he transformed his wheelchair
into a battlewagon to fight the goblins. His inexperience and Leech's
power-nullifying abilities allowed him to be defeated and the goblins escaped.
When the teachers
refused to believe his story, Taki called in the other youthful proteges of
X-Factor (Rusty, Skids, Boom-Boom, and Rictor). Together they traveled to
New York City but Taki was kidnapped by N'astirh's goblin minions. N'astirh
believed that Taki could create a computer that could handle the magic spells
which N'astirh needed to open a gateway between Limbo and Earth. Taki was
able to, but stalled for time until the X-Terminators could arrive and rescue
the babies that N'astirh was using to open a pentagram to Limbo.
In the final confrontation between N'astirh and S'ym, N'astirh allowed himself to be infected with the trans-mode virus which affected him in a way so that he could use Taki's computer whereas previously his demonic nature prevented him from doing so. In a last ditch effort Taki caused the computer he had created to revert back to normal. N'astirh, who was linked to the computer, was completely obliterated.
This effort cost Taki some of his power, limiting his abilities to transmute non-organics. He, Artie, and Leech returned to St. Simons where Taki is still attempting to overcome his dyslexia while perfecting his abilities.
After finding that the trust fund set up for him by his parents before they died included a large amount of stock in Mitshbishi Industries, he enrolled at graduated with high scores from Harvard Business School. Then he went to work for the company. He rose through the ranks quickly, thanks to his knowledge and grasp of the business, and, in no small part, to his owning more of the company than anybody else.
