Rule #0: If for any reason you don't want me to tag out to you with Tetsuo, please, please let me know so I can do my best to accommodate. No explanation required and no pressure, but communication is always welcome by PM.
Summary
Setting: Akira, about two decades after the end of the manga.
Brief History: All Tetsuo knew for sure is that he was adopted. His adoptive father Kenshiro made certain to leave no doubt; his adoptive mother Miyuki, however, who couldn't have children, herself, embraced him entirely as her own. When she died literally shielding him from street violence, however, Tetsuo ran away from his emotionally stunted foster father, and joined the Hungry Wolves, the biker gang to which a childhood friend belonged. Tetsuo became one of their best riders, but after a few years, the Wolves fell on hard times, losing members to accidents, the law, and conflict with other gangs. Eventually, Tetsuo was the only one left living rough.

Backtagging: Yes! I'm a shameless thread-necromancer and there are some threads from literal years ago I loved and would love to see revived, or rebooted, or continued in new threads.
Threadhopping: In crack/gen/etc things it's fine, otherwise please check first just to make sure.
Fourthwalling: Generally no, but it can be discussed!
Content warnings:
[IC]
Hugging this character: He's usually a bit touch-starved, so depending who it's from, he'll be somewhere between weirded out and super flustered.
Kissing this character: Go for it, but unless there's some established CR he'll be extremely surprised and flustered.
Flirting with this character: Go for it! He mostly takes it in stride, either as harmless joking around from someone he's just friends with, or as the prerogative of someone he's already crushing on. In the latter case, he'll definitely end up flustered if he starts to think they actually mean it.
Fighting with this character: Sure!
Injuring this character: It's fine, although part of his whole thing is ridiculous agility and evasion. If it's going to be more than some few scrapes and bruises, it may be worth checking to make sure we're on the same page.
Killing this character: Not really interested, but I'll always listen to a sales pitch.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure, I love a deep dive into characters' layered psychic landscapes!
Warnings/Opt-Outs: Tetsuo's (default) backstory contains trauma, parental death, verbal abuse, and significant exposure to violence. Depending on the age he's played at, he may be an underage character involved in adult themes.
Other:
ADHD, spoons, and life make tagging rate a big question mark, so apologies in advance if my tagbrain turns to sea foam for a bit. I'll usually try to come back to a good thread or at least toss out an apologyonce my head's above water if I flake on one.

Eiji Shirutachi (b. 2008): Leader of the Hungry Wolves gang, Eiji was a highly gifted engineer and technician who started the gang as a sort of motorcycle appreciation club crossed with an unofficial neighborhood watch program. Very tall and muscular, but gentle (at least, with most people). Taught the rest of the gang most of their mechanical skills and custom-built unique motorcycles for them. Developed a severe drinking habit following Hirokatsu's death and the other losses that followed; lost the use of his legs due to an accident in October of 2036. Moved to the countryside to live with relatives.
Hideo Kuragane (b. 2018): Due to his natural charisma and talent on a motorcycle, Hideo was Eiji's unofficial second-in-command after Hirokatsu's dead, despite his youth and not really wanting any sort of authority. Tetsuo's closest friend since childhood, he introduced him to the gang, and suggested he should be brought into the gang after the younger boy ran away from home. Son of a Japanese woman and an American contractor who stayed after the rebuilding efforts of the 2020s, he speaks super English, and Tetsuo picked up Hideo's obsession with American culture and artifacts. As a boy, fled his abusive father to live with his maternal aunt in Neotokyo in 2025, and met Tetsuo at school in 2026. After the Eiji's injury, he grudgingly gave in to his aunt insisting he should clean up his act and go to college before he went the way of his friends.
Hirokatsu Kitase (b. 2009): A founding member of the Hungry Wolves and high school friend of Eiji. Hirokatsu went to college but dropped out to pursue his lasting interest in martial arts. He taught several of the gang's members the street fighting he'd picked up and honed. Shot to death in May of 2036 during a conflict with a rival gang.
Ai Kitase (b. 2017): A youth/street-fashion model and Hirokatsu's younger sister, Ai became a sort of honorary member of the Hungry Wolves, essentially adopted by the whole gang. Kind, gentle, and beautiful. Was severely traumatized by Hirokatsu's death and began heavy drug use until overdosing in July of 3036.
Tadahiro Takahashi (b. 2012): Grew up in the same neighborhood as Eiji and joined the gang in the early days. Arrested with Ayako in August of 2036 after being caught stealing a car, and charged with grand theft auto and armed robbery.
Ayako Tsukada (b. 2014): Childhood friend of Takahashi, who introduced her to the gang. Arrested with Tadahiro in August of 2036 after being caught stealing a car, and charged with grand theft auto and armed robbery.
Tetsuo Usuda (b. 2020): Childhood friend of Hideo, joined the gang in 2030 after running away from home. The last full-time member of the Hungry Wolves gang, Tetsuo stubbornly remained in the gang's old turf.
