age:

(canon) background:
Canon wiki
This is not entirely accurate. The listing of canon events is, but the statement “Yukihiko is one of the seven facets or personalities of the original body that will be merged into Natsuhiko when he becomes adult” is incorrect. Yukihiko is the Unification, which means that Natsuhiko is one of the six personalities that was meant to form Yukihiko, not the other way around. (The six souls of the Miroku clan combined to make a seventh, which is Yukihiko.) Technically a minor detail but one I wanted to address.
Another issue is that one of the brothers is referred to as Hiei, but his name is Hikage. (I believe there was an early translation error that led to this.)
(original) world:
n/a

abilities:
Note: Because Get Backers is basically “How OP can we make everyone,” I am including notes on limits to all of these powers to mesh better with a panfandom setting. If the mods want to put further restrictions than what I suggest, please let me know, and I will happily comply.
Material Full Moon- Yukihiko is able to use his chakram to channel devastating attacks. By spinning the chakram in the air, he is able to create a black hole that pulls things in and reduces them to nothing. In canon, this can include people, but, for the game, I’m happy to limit it. (Maybe basketball-size or smaller?)
Speed- Yukihiko’s biggest advantage on a battlefield is his speed, and he is often shown moving faster than the normal human eye can detect, which is fairly common in his canon. I am happy to tone this down to human quickness. (‘m thinking around 30 mph, a bit higher than the current record.)
Enhanced senses- Due to one member of the Unification being blind, Yukihiko’s senses are greatly enhanced. He can hear noises quieter than most and has a keen sense on auras, allowing him to follow opponents who move too quickly to be seen by sensing their lifeforce on the battlefield. (If this needs to be toned down, just let me know.)
Acrobatics- In addition to his speed, Yukihiko is extremely flexible and trained in acrobatics, which aids him in dodging a blow that he can see coming that isn’t too fast for him.
Close combat- Yukihiko has knowledge of karate and judo in order to be able to fight in close combat situations, though he prefers to use Natushiko’s katana at close range.
Strength- Yukihiko is stronger than he looks, able to hold his own physically against people who are larger than him. However, there is no indication that his strength is extremely superhuman. (In the game, it would be toned down to slightly above average human strength, like an amateur, non-competitive weightlifter.)
Long range combat- Yukihiko is a master of the chakram and can call his back to his hand in a fight. In addition, he also is trained in the use of kunai.
Aura- Because of his status as the Unification of the Miroku clan, Yukihiko can mask his aura, essentially disappearing to enemies who sense that on the battlefield. He cannot combine this power with his mirage.
Mirage- Yukihiko is thematically tied to the full moon. Much like the full moon’s light is a reflection of the sun, Yukihiko can create a mirage of himself that looks real but vanishes when attacked, useful for misdirecting sight-based attacks. This cannot be used in combination with his aura manipulation.

strengths:
- Yukihiko is a trained combatant. His “siblings” were drilled on their respective skills, and Yukihiko was able to master all of them through their memories when he became the Unification.
- Yukihiko is a generally good person. He prefers non-violence, despite his combat training, and he is always looking to make friends. Even after learning he is on opposite sides of an issue with someone, he continues to treat that person with respect. In one instance in canon, he even fakes torturing someone for information to help them escape, despite knowing that they will get in his way later.
- Yukihiko is very professional. If he has a job, he will see it through, even if he doesn’t want to. When forced to fight Ginji (who is trying to retrieve what Yukihiko has been assigned to protect), he states that he doesn’t want to fight but acknowledges that the situation leaves him no choice.
weaknesses:
- Yukihiko doesn’t really see himself as a person. He is the Unification of his “siblings” but doesn’t have their life experience. He came into being at around the age of eight and was trained in martial engagement after that. While he knows what his siblings have seen and done, he has no emotional connection to any of their memories.
- Yukihiko has a hard time connecting emotions to day to day experiences. Because of the sudden (and premature) circumstances around the Unification, none of the Miroku siblings were able to grow to full maturity, which limits Yukihiko in being able to understand emotional context and how to process different emotions. He has an almost academic understanding of what the emotions are, but he struggles to connect himself to them and find purpose.
- Yukihiko is unused to being alone. Prior to the full Unification (just before the canon point he’s pulled from), the siblings were separate in Yukihiko’s mind. Their experiences influenced him, but they were able to take control of the body and frequently argued with him. He predominantly interacted with Natsuhiko, the eldest of the Miroku children, especially in arguments over what to do and how respond to situations. With Natsuhiko letting go of his grudge against Ban, however, the Unification was solidified, and Yukihiko was left as the only Miroku personality still active.
- Yukihiko struggles with goals for the future. After the completion of the Unification and his father’s spirit being put to rest, Yukihiko was told by his father that he was the last Miroku and to not dishonor their family. Natsuhiko’s parting words were also that he was leaving the future to Yukihiko, though he assured him he’d done a fine job as their Unification. Both of these goodbyes left Yukihiko with a strong need to promote the Miroku legacy, but his lack of emotional connection to things that had happened before his creation left him feeling lost and without purpose or direction.
