Kazuichi Saito

11
Kazuichi Saito is a young man born amidst the chaos of a post-apocalyptic society, where a tenuous peace, just restored, is once again on the brink of collapse with the emergence of three factions that fracture the previously united planet. Raised in a family that worked hard to restore their lineage's wealth after society’s collapse, Kazuichi's upbringing was profoundly influenced by his parents, who had experienced the planet's recovery struggles firsthand. They instilled in him and his younger sister the importance of using their resources to uplift others, teaching them to reject the power-driven ideals of the B.O.O and R.O.S, and emphasizing that true prosperity comes from giving back to the community, a lesson that guides Kazuichi's choices in this unpredictable world.
In addition to these values, Kazuichi developed a passion for bikes, often finding solace in feeling the wind against his face as he navigates the streets of Gliph City. This love for riding became a form of escape for him, reinforcing his understanding of freedom and responsibility. With his maturity, came the acute awareness of the social injustices around him, motivating him to forge his own path amid the chaos, and with his ability to manipulate light through his power known as Luminara, Kazuichi creates radiant constructs that not only safeguard others but also spread hope in a world desperate for positivity.
Upon discovering the Seraphic Cafe, a peaceful sanctuary amidst the city's turmoil, Kazuichi felt an immediate connection to its mission of creating a safe haven for those in need. Despite his obligations to the family business, he dedicates himself to the cafe, skillfully balancing his duties between both worlds. Over time, he has formed strong bonds with the staff, earning the affectionate nickname "Flare," which reflects his role in bringing light to others and his commitment to positive change.
