"Ah, really? Isn't this all a little much?"

Profile

Endo Naoki attends Juuban High School, holds down a part-time job at his local convience store, and spends his free nights defending his neighborhood from evil wizards. Since the passing of his father he's done the best he can to take care of his family and honor the memory of his parent through his new found magical ability. Endo's recently discovered that he has some magical aptitude, and happens to have come into possession of Fallen Stern, a stolen Belkan device he's entered into a contract with to defend Tokyo from the forces of darkness. Though he carries some gross misunderstanding about the structure of Tokyo's magical world, his heart seems to be in the right place and his head is thick enough to bash against his problems until they go away.

Personality

Endo isn’t a very complicated sort of person. In fact, he takes pride in his plainness. Endo was taught that hard work, sincerity, and perseverance will always get you through the day. Thus, those are the values that he tries to exemplify. Being raised in a close-knit, raucous family has left him a rather social individual, as well as fairly blunt in his speech and opinions. He's well known for his penchant of complaining and teasing both friends and strangers, but he also seems to carry a deep–seated sense of responsibility for the well-being of his peers. Probably too much responsibility, but his martyr complex has somewhat been checked by the realization that he's not the only hero around.

Powers / Abilities

Endo is in possession of an Intelligent Device, a hyper-advanced piece of technology that he uses to beat other things over the head with. Fallen Stern in its native form is an unreasonably large sword, used in the past to break planetary armies and now for more benevolent purposes. It’s capable of analyzing targets and dispensing tactical advice, as well as all manner of close-range combat. Sometimes it says mean things about Endo.

His barrier jacket, magical armor, also helps keep him alive. With it he’s faster, stronger, and possibly able to leap reasonably sized structures in a single bound. His absurd tenacity seems to be shared between his mundane and magical forms.

Relationships

NPCS

• Matsumoto Naoki : The man who was and in many respects still is everything to his son. The person responsible for Endo's sense of responsibility toward other people, his down-to-earth style, and most of his hardheadedness. Endo believes the best way to honor his father's sacrifice is to make the world a better place in his name. To say Endo has issues with his father's death would be an understatement.
• Chiaki Naoki : Mom. Does mom things. She taught Endo what rudimentary manners and social graces he does have, and tries to make sure he still follows them. Their relationship is close-knit, and there's probably nobody else Endo cares about more in the world. There's some small strain on their relationship from Endo's job, and the fact that he's hardly ever around the house anymore.
• Haru Ano : The man (alien?) responsible for Endo's Device coming into his possession. He also gave Endo his first glimpse of the universe at large, and taught him the basics he'd need to survive. Now Haru is somewhere out there bravely fighting the sinister machinations of the Magic Association, extra-planetary forces who want to exploit Earth, and the evil space police. WHAT A TRUE HERO. Endo hopes they'll meet again someday.
• Shinji Akeda : Endo's classmate, rugby teammate, and best friend since elementary school. Although Endo doesn't spend a lot of time at either school or rugby club anymore, he still takes time to hang out with his friend. Shinji dragging him out is, in fact, the primary reason Endo doesn't do anything except work, sword, and sleep.

Device

• Fallen Stern : The black comet, the army breaker, etc, etc, kind of a jerk. Stern is a mostly no-nonsense war machine that advises and occasionally berates its master. Though their relationship is somewhat contentious, both Endo and his Device share a similar goal and--sometimes--mutual respect for one another.
  • Note : Endo isn't supposed to have this. It's stolen Magic Association property, formerly under the care of a Midchildan mage. If you think your character would know, you can know that!

Real People

• Ren Aizawa : Ren used to go to Juuban, she was one of Endo's classmates. She was never very interesting, but she must have been pretty smart to get into Infinity. Turns out she's actually kind of interesting after all! She's pretty blood-thirsty about video games...
• Lera Camry : She can't be serious about that name, right? Either way, she seemed like one of the good guys, and Endo said he'd help her out if she ever needed it.
• Fate Testarossa : Got hit with a baseball. Poor kid. She seemed kind of sad about something, but Endo never got to ask.

• Mages? : There are a lot more of these than Endo has expected. The strange thing is, most of them seemed to be trying to kill big monster things when he encountered them. Maybe to get the wish-granting thing? It's probably best not to trust any of them too much until he knows more. Who knows who they really work for...

History

Endo Naoki was born without much, his father in construction and his mother a waitress, neither very extraordinary people in anything but spirit. Both of them wanted a child, and both of them did their best to raise Endo as an honest, hard-working young man. From a young age he grew up among a tight-knit community of friends and family, hardly ever alone as a child. He didn’t have any siblings, but it always seemed like he was around other people. All this attention didn't involve any coddling though, and he grew up as a young man expected and able to pull his own weight without being a burden on the people around him.

On an intellectual level, it turned out he wasn’t any sort of genius. Sometimes Endo could manage a spark of creativity, but he wasn’t getting any medals or gold stars. He was average, much to his parents dismay. He tried, but not too hard, and preferred Rugby Club and physical activities over more intellectual pursuits. He shirked most of his hard work, which chaffed with his father’s ideals, putting some strain on the relationship. Endo figured he could always study hard later, and that he had at least a year or two to prepare, and everything would work out in the end.

It was shortly before his sixteenth birthday that his father passed away, victim of an unfortunate construction accident. It was a sad affair, a lot of mourning, both on the part of mother and son. Savings and help from extended family meant that money wasn’t an immediate issue, but Endo nonetheless took an after-school job at a local convenience store as soon as he could.

And then things changed. Endo was working a shift sometime at the peak hours of the morning when an odd looking vagrant drifted into the store. There was something distinctly suspicious about the fellow, though Endo couldn’t put his finger on it. He didn’t have that much time to thing, though. His attention was shortly taken up by the huge, vicious looking ball of darkness that smashed through the front of the store.

That's how Endo met Haru Ano and came into possession of the intelligent device Fallen Stern. Haru, the Mage in the convenience store, fled the scene wounded after driving off the monster. He happened to drop one of the artifacts he was carrying, and Endo took it home with him. When Haru came to claim to Endo demanded an explanation. The problem was that Haru was a thief and a liar. He told Endo that he was fleeing a vast conspiracy of wizards called the Magic Association, who controlled the earth and created monsters like the one Endo had seen. The truth was that Haru snatched the device from a Mage's workshop, but it was a little inconvenient to for him to say it.

Endo, of course, was alarmed. Slightly more alarmed when the monster Haru'd fought before burst back onto the scene. He couldn't just let the man take it on by himself, though. So he went to help. That was the first time Endo used Fallen Stern, the weapon calling out to him and instructing him to take it up and use it.

Once it was over Haru didn't have much a choice but to let the boy keep it, so he wished the boy well and got out of dodge. Endo sees the device he has as a responsibility, and has since entered into a contract with it to keep his family and community safe from scary night monsters.
