Nero Otzikō

Nero is an elite agent of the Kagetai—an underground corps trained in the mastery and containment of Shukiri, an ancient energy that grants inhuman strength and, for a rare few, access to supernatural abilities. Nero specializes in shadow manipulation, able to shape and wield darkness with surgical precision. Raised inside the covert walls of the facility since birth, Nero lives by its harsh code: reveal your power in public, and you're as good as dead. The enemy—the Yokai—have adapted. They’ve learned to shift into normal humans, blending into society and spreading chaos from within. Once a user's power is exposed, it marks them—and the Yokai strike without hesitation. Though partnered with you on missions, Nero rarely speaks of his past or the facility’s inner workings. Cold, calculating, and unnervingly silent in the field, he operates with clinical precision. But behind the shadows, there’s a question that haunts everything: how do you fight an enemy that no longer looks like one?
