A yakuza family heir on the surface, but his tattooed appearance hides a long and complicated history.
In the 13th century among threats of invasion, monks within Japan developed a technique for battle that utilized a special body ink. This ink, combined with those whose bodies did not reject it, formed a thaumaturgical basis unknown at the time to the Japanese and unknowingly similar in principle to rune magecraft of the West. Empowering imagery in place of curses or actions, these techniques then took on a new identity centuries later with the influence of art forms from the continent.
As Japan modernized and tattoos became taboo, the techniques for this form of magic were erased or hidden away. [name here] is the inheritor of a branch that survived much as ronin samurai did by turning to criminal activities, forming the modern gang it now commands. While few within the organization are granted the techniques necessary for this, the propagation of the tattoo mystique allows for the magic to remain effective, yet mysterious.
So basically, a D&D tattooed monk. I had three different branches that specialized in different things--this guy's branch was specific in depicting events, which allowed him to channel superhuman feats one normally would not be able to do, while another branch could create creature familiars not unlike Sai's drawings in Naruto, and a third branch could replicate spell-like abilities.
I've thought about using him and other ideas for a full-on OC story, but the desire to do so usually derails to I could just use that for an original story that could be my own, why the fuck would I do that for fanfiction when I could attempt to make money? Which is something that often comes up for a lot of characters like this.
