OTHER CHARACTER(S) IN GAME: Ren Amamiya
CANON INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Kyosuke Nanbu
CANON: Super Robot Wars Compact/Super Robot Wars Original Generations
HISTORY: Wiki Link
STRENGTHS:
Reliable: Kyosuke is hard-working and efficient, a career military man who will follow orders to the best of his capability and can be trusted to command teams and get the job done. In tough situations, Kyosuke can be counted on to handle the situation, and handle it well.
Cool Under Pressure: Strongly correlated to his reliability is Kyosuke's absolute unflappability. Almost without exception, he's calm and collected in high-stress combat situations, able to properly assess and direct combat while also serving as the vanguard. It takes a lot to rile him, and for those who have managed it, all have come to regret their decision almost immediately since the only thing more terrifying than regular Kyosuke is Angry Kyosuke.
Flexible and Adaptive: Surprisingly, Kyosuke is not a machine-like soldier who always obeys orders without question. He has a strong combat sense and while he is deeply respectful of the military chain of command, he will prioritize his team and their well-being, even speaking truth to or subverting harmful orders with whatever latitude he has. This also translates to extraordinary trust in his team - if members have personal objectives of importance, even if they could jeopardize the core mission, Kyosuke will support his team and clear a path to make it possible.
FLAWS:
Low Emotional Competence: While Kyosuke can be extremely perceptive in combat situations, when it comes to emotional situations he can be pretty dense. He's quite understated in his emotional responses to begin with, and this can make him seem unapproachable, standoffish and cold.
Beowulf Factor: Without companions and staunch allies or in situations of intense duress where those who are important from him have been taken, Kyosuke can become akin to a demon made flesh. His determination and intensity are already high, but without calmer and more social adept allies around him to temper him Kyosuke can quite easily become a monster, living for combat and completing the next mission with little regard to those in his way. Even in a situation where he has close allies, if something happens to someone especially close to him this can awaken a terrifying rage that makes him dangerous to himself and to others.
Could Really Use a Hobby: Kyosuke Nanbu is an extremely intense man heavily focused on his career and duties to the exclusion of all else. He doesn't especially know how to do things like relax or have fun. This isn't to say he's immune to the effects of burnout or exhaustion (although he's more resistant than most), it's just that should it occur it's difficult for him to come back from it, and he likely won't recognize the signs himself causing his edge to continue to dull.

AU INFORMATION
AU CHARACTER NAME: Kyosuke Nanbu
AGE: 25
POSITION: Combat and Tactics Instructor
AU BACKSTORY:
-Born to a Shinto Mage family from Nagoya
-Did not have any magical proficiency himself
-After coming of age, joined the Federation, a Rune Guard company operating under the UN Security Council
-Scored high in Rune Armor pilot aptitude and joined the Gespenst Squadron based out of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
-Early in his tenure, the base came under attack by a daemonic force while Kyosuke was charged with escorting a visiting "normie" squad of US Air Force Cadets
-During his response to the situation, he was followed by a young cadet named Excellen Browning who refused to follow orders and insisted on aiding against the Daemon attack.
-Without time to bring her back to a safe zone, Kyosuke reluctantly complied with her wish to fight and gave her an ID sequence to board and use a Gespenst.
-With Excellen's assistance, they beat back the Daemon Squadron. Kyosuke was reprimanded but otherwise unpunished for his role in the exchange.
-Outside of that bump, he excelled within the squadron and attained the rank of Lieutenant, as well as command of a small, elite combat squad known as the ATX Team. Kyosuke's designation within the unit is Assault 1.
-Interestingly, as he joined the ATX team he was reunited with Excellen Browning, now a Federation Rune Armor pilot like himself.
-Due to the recent increase in Outland activity, he was selected to join the Daybreak forces to provide combat instruction and military discipline to the students
AU PERSONALITY DEVIATION: Having been born to a mage family but without magic himself, Kyosuke's outlook is a bit different. As in canon he has a strong sense of responsibility, but there is some lingering doubt that isn't necessarily present in canon - being completely without magic, Kyosuke is aware of the general outlook that he is a disappointment and a failure. That informs a good deal of his somewhat workaholic nature, he does still feel a burning need to prove himself, although he'd never really admit it even to himself. In canon Kyosuke is highly driven in the right circumstances but without any stated reasoning, in Daybreak much of that will be fueled by a hidden insecurity and need to prove himself.
RACE: Human
SECRET SOCIETY: Kyosuke is part of the Federation, a militarily-inclined Rune Guard under direct control of the UN Security Council. The Federation is an alliance of a number of Rune Guards brought together under an official capacity. Although many of the guards had at a time operated autonomously, they are now fully integrated within the UN's command structure and draw much of their recruitment from the armed forces of various partner nations. The Federation is typically called on to deal with supernatural threats, but are also not necessarily understood within the broader security council who is loathe to utilize them.
POWERS: Kyosuke himself has no powers to speak of, although he does seem possessed of enormous luck and toughness based on his uncanny ability to not die when he by all rights absolutely should have. He pilots a custom Rune Armor known as Alteisen, the product of a somewhat eccentric firebrand engineer's attempt to replace one of the main-line Rune Armors employed by the Federation. Alteisen has the following capabilities:
-High defense
-Surprising mobility for its heavy armor, especially when charging
-Three-barreled Autocannon mounted on the left arm capable of short bursts of rapid fire
-Head-mounted Heat Horn that can be heated to cut through most substances with a swing of the armor's helmet
-Revolver Stake, Alteisen's signature weapon, a large metal stake mounted on the right arm with a revolver-like chamber of six charges. Each charge creates a localized explosion that drives the stake into the target with immense speed and power, allowing it to tear through even heavily armored foes
-Twin Heavy Claymore mounts on the armor's shoulders that eject metal bearings at high speed that can tear through most enemies.
HOUSING: No preference
RP SAMPLE
INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT
(The following scenario is available to all characters who are apping in and is considered canon - all prospective teachers for the academy are interviewed by staff members to ensure they're a good fit. The definition of "good fit" seems to vary wildly from staffer to staffer.)
1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND.
Completed primary and secondary education through private tutoring within my family estate, as well as extensive training in Magecraft and practices. Enlisted at 18, all training beyond that was on-the-job.
2. TELL US ABOUT YOUR TEACHING EXPERIENCE.
I spent about a year as a boot camp instructor.
3. WHAT UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES DO YOU THINK YOU BRING TO THE ACADEMY?
As a military man I expect I'll be somewhat unconventional, but I intend to bring greater discipline and training to the student body.
6. HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO PUSH THEMSELVES AND TAKE THEIR SCHOOLWORK SERIOUSLY?
My course-work is all practical and hands-on. If they don't take it seriously, they might not survive.
[There's a brief pause as he seems to remember something]
Well, at least they won't survive with their grades intact.
7. HOW DO YOU MANAGE STUDENTS WHO ARE DEFIANT OR ACTING OUT?
I don't have students that act out.
[He's deadly serious here.]
9. WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON TO TEACH EVERY STUDENT WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS?
How to stand on their own two feet, how to live, and how to fight for what they believe in.
12. DESCRIBE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH A COWORKER AND HOW YOU HANDLED IT.
In the military it is not uncommon to be assigned to commanding officers with whom you do not mesh. It is the duty of a soldier and professional to follow orders to the best of their ability. Further, it is the duty of an officer to offer suggestions and exercise whatever flexibility is available to ensure the mission is completed properly and that their team is utilized to the fullest extent. I make use of both these methods when dealing with those to whom personal issues are present.
13. HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR CURRENT BOSS OR SUPERVISOR WOULD DESCRIBE YOUR JOB PERFORMANCE?
I've served with the Federation since joining the force. In that time I have attained the rank of Lieutenant, and command an elite squadron known as the ATX team. My performance is regularly evaluated and has been rated as nothing short of exemplary.
16. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF ACADEMY FACULTY IS PROTECTING STUDENTS FROM THAT WHICH MIGHT DO THEM HARM. TELL US HOW EQUIPPED YOU ARE TO DO THIS.
I am trained in traditional combat forms of the Shinto monks, as well as having spent the last seven years in active duty within the Rune Guard. I have extensive active combat experience against daemonic and Outland forces, and consistently rate in the top percentile for Rune Armor piloting capabilities within the Federation forces.
17. WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE FOR YOUR STUDENTS?
The ATX Team does not believe in pointless sacrifices.
