Faceclaim Information Name: Tamamori Yuta. Group: Kis-My-Ft2. Character Information Name: Kobayashi Ginga. Stage Name: Icarus. Age: 28. Tent Assignment: #7 Gold Home Island Cottage Assignment: #240 Skill: His skill is Cosmic Dust Manipulation. He has the ability to gather cosmic substances or stardust (the remnants and dust of celestial bodies, like dead stars or meteors, and the metals they contain) and to use them to create objects or effects. He can also use the stardust to create small scale stars or balls of light and gas, delving some into a form of light manipulation. While everything in the universe is created from the same contents, his powers are often too weak to draw much from complicated sources on Earth, and he is able to collect more when there are meteor showers or celestial events near the Earth. He keeps what’s collected with him in containers to use and recycles as much as possible. Yes, his stardust can sparkle, too. Member Status: Mostly completely new. He only came across the circus just before his twenty eighth birthday, which was on March 3rd. It was some time in February that he actually joined in. Performance Details: Being quite shy and quiet, Ginga doesn’t really participate in the mainshow, other than to use his abilities to add effects. He does, however, have a small sideshow tent. Inside of the tent, it is dimly lit, and can only fit a few people at a time. Though the intimacy of the setting may seem like it would make him shyer, he feels more comfortable performing for smaller groups of people. He uses his abilities to create small stars or other objects, as well as to project a 3D planetarium around the inside of the tent. Personality: Ginga is shy and reserved, often staying to himself and avoiding interaction with others. He never seems to talk a lot, or to talk loudly, either. He is polite and well-mannered, but also blunt and honest as well. He is a hard worker. He can be somewhat morbid and has a dark or dry sense of humor. Despite all of these traits, he is also a kind and trustworthy person, gentle in his mannerisms. Background:
Icarus, born Kobayashi Ginga in 1990, was born the oldest of a pair of twin boys to his young mother and father. His brother Hoshi and he were close as kids, often sticking together and only keeping to themselves. At the age of five, their father left the picture, leaving them with their mother. Eventually, she got a job as an astronomer, and the boys grew up surrounded by stars and the cosmos, just like their names.
Their mother entered them into dance classes, piano lessons, violin lessons, and acting classes. She wanted her boys to be stars, like the ones she studied and loved, like the ones that their names both referenced. The two of them took to their studies eagerly and diligently, soon becoming masters at and excelling in dancing and acting, too. Sadly, though, their happiness would not last long.
When he was fourteen, he and his brother were the victims of intense and physical bullying at school. The situation drew to a tragic and dramatic close when, one afternoon after school had ended, their bullies took them to the school pool and pushed them in, forcibly holding their heads down. Without realizing that they had gone too far, the bullies accidentally drowned his younger twin brother, only realizing it when he had finally stopped struggling. Despite frantic efforts by Ginga to bring Hoshi back, Hoshi had gone too long without oxygen to his brain, and was confirmed as being brain dead at the hospital. Alone in his brother’s hospital room with him at the time of his passing, it was then and there that Ginga realized that he had supernatural powers. Enraged and sadden, his emotions too much for him to control, Ginga suddenly realized in his blind rage that he had seemed to collect a small amount of particles from somewhere, floating near him. From where? From his brother, perhaps? Startled and horrified by the event, he fled the hospital and never told anyone about the incident.
A year or so later, while visiting his mother at work and looking over a small collection of space artifacts that had been brought back by a space crew and shown to the scientists and astronomers where she worked, Ginga once again found himself able to draw these particles, this dust, out again, but this time in stronger amounts. Different elements, he assumed, unsure of what exactly the material was made of. He continued to experiment with his powers, soon learning that he could gather the dust during celestial events, like meteor showers, and store them for future use. After researching super powers some, he dubbed his own power as cosmic dust manipulation, or the ability to gather cosmic substances and stardust, like the things found in dead stars or meteors, and also in substances on Earth such as metals and even corpses. It was only recently, just before turning twenty eight, that he joined the circus after coming across them in Japan.
