Feb. 13th, 2023 04:36 amDr. Senku Ishigami
Dr. Senku Ishigami is the present Head of Scientific Innovation and Development, representing the Kingdom of Science. He presently leads a worldwide network of scientific minds focusing on the rebuilding of societies everywhere focusing on both quality of life, as well as future innovations.
An incredibly decorated individual, recognized on a global scale for his invention of the revival fluid which allowed for the rescue of billions of trapped, petrified people. He was a member of the three man team sent to the moon to confront Whyman, and came back with a specimen intent on furthering humanity's grasp of science.
Senku's doctorate was awarded based on his accomplishments as there is no higher education in his world. He also remains a general in the army of the Kingdom of Science, remains the Chief of Ishigami Village, and while he had been at the head of the kingdom, he retired and keeps close ties with the current leader, Ryusui Nanami.
Presently much of his work involves coordinating worldwide scientific cooperation, and furthering the research into Whyman, focusing extensively on creating and understanding the science behind time travel.

appearance
Senku's facial scars have been gone for two years at this point in time. He's most often seen in his work clothes, a suit with a labcoat. He is never without his village rope, in some fashion. Off the clock, he often wears his old leather tunic, far more comfortable in that than anything.
abilities
background
Senku was born to unknown parents, that were friends to a man named Byakuya Ishigami. All indications suggest they did not die, but through some twist of fate, Byakuya wound up adopting him, giving him the Ishigami name. As early as 3/4 years old, Senku was already in Byakuya's custody. He was also already reading books far above his level. Inquisitive and constantly asking questions like why the moon seems to be following him, it sparked an interest in science.
Byakuya appreciated his son's fervor and sold his car to outfit Senku with all the scientific tools he could possibly want and watched his kid run, far outpacing his own knowledge by the time he was six years old. A failed astronaut candidate, he instilled in Senku a deep love of space. He couldn't temper Senku's knowledge, but he did frequently explain to him that fun was vitally important to people, as is relaxation. That was one of the gifts he gave Senku, who was not at all inclined to think of things like that in the first place.
When Senku was six he began experimenting with rockets, and at nine he built a TENS suit to train Byakuya in swimming so he would pass his next astronaut qualification. While it didn't help, it did motivate him and at that time Byakuya was a certified member of JAXA. Senku would continue to invent, tinker and work on rocketry. His third rocket, when he was roughly thirteen made it up into low orbit for a few minutes before exploding. He'd pushed his limits to how far he could go as an individual. He then shifted his focus to medicine after his NASA-based mentor asked him about biological weapons. 'I don't know how to fix that' is not an acceptable answer to Senku.
When Senku was fifteen, the world was engulfed in a mysterious green light that petrified all of humanity. Completely trapped and bewildered, he took the drastic action of counting the amount of time so he could understand it when he broke free. That would last for the next 3700+ years. He broke free of the petrification by chance, finally, April 1st, 5738. He remained alone as, what he believed, the only man on the planet until October, when Taiju finally broke free. His greatest invention came about in the winter of 5739, and so there was a reliable method of waking up people from the stone.
He would become separated from Taiju and his girlfriend Yuzuriha due to a conflict with Tsukasa and discovered a village of descendants of the astronauts that had been in orbit when the planet was attacked. That group included his father and the idol Lillian Weinberg. He would go on to establish himself as the Chief of the village and rally both factions to ultimately work for the betterment of mankind. They would travel across to the United States and encounter another faction comprised of his NASA-based mentor, Xeno Wingfield. After conflict that was resolved through the worldwide petrification being activated once more, Senku would spend another seven and a half years in stone.
When they were back to being ambulatory, it was time to seriously ramp up development. As they began to establish communities around the world, he finally stepped down as the leader of the Kingdom of Science and let Ryusui take charge - although he was ultimately still calling the shots, he just did have to run the social side of things any longer. He would throw himself into science in the coming years, developing rockets to take the fight to Whyman on the moon. The Senku 11 was launched in 5754. He was in space for a couple of weeks total, and negotiated with Whyman. One of the AI units came back with him, while the rest left the planet, disgusted with humanity's lack of technology, even though they were the ones who caused the fall of civilization.
Since his return to Earth, he's been mostly involved in pushing for the development of sustainable, green scientific advancements, and the pursuit of new scientific avenues through worldwide cooperation. At the moment, things are peaceful, but he knows that won't last forever.

Current Characters: Demyx
Character: Dr. Senku Ishigami
Canon: Post-canon
Age: 3752 / appears 27
Background Information: Wiki Link
Personality: Senku is an incredibly deeply determined and tenacious individual. He works nearly tirelessly day in and day out on whatever has captured his attention. Even as a child, he was defined by his hyperfixation, determination and innovation. He could be seen as having grown up spoiled, considering how much his father doted on him and gave him every opportunity to flex his intelligence, but despite that Senku is far too humble for his own good. His primary philosophy in life is humanism. He believes in the collective strength of humanity, and to that end he rarely takes credit for his own work to the extent he should. He often says 'we did' as opposed to 'I did'. He sees people as having intrinsic value. He believes every person, no matter how old they are, or what their skillsets are, offer something of value. It's one of the things that draws people to him.
An introvert by nature, Senku finds large gatherings to be rather tiresome and he avoids them when he can. He would be far happier sitting on his own or with a trusted confidante then attending a party. He was rather anti-social as a child, but after the traumatic experience of being in the wilderness alone for six months he no longer finds solitude to be a comfort. He might want space to breathe, but he will likely stay within earshot of someone else. What he experienced, being alone in total deprivation, the counting and the solitude when he broke free has left mental scars on him. He is prone to occasional panic attacks and nightmares.
Senku's mind runs a mile a minute and works a lot like a computer. He partitions various functions when he's not actively fixating on something. One partition is continuous counting. He can no longer stop it. To that end, Senku is incredibly accurate as a timekeeper without needing a watch. He does all of that while doing the other executive functions of what he processes. He also partitions his emotions. Senku can often be accused of being unemotional, or too rational. It is not that he doesn't have emotions - he just has excellent self-control. He doesn't tend to act on emotion. He could be actively furious but acting out of anger to him serves no tangible purpose, so he tries to let it go.
He is far, far too forgiving, to his detriment. There appears to be nothing that anyone can do to Senku that he will not brush aside in the spirit of moving forward. People have killed him and been forgiven. He forgave the AI that petrified him, in the spirit of cooperation. It has backfired on him before, and yet he'd rather let the past stay in the past when it comes to personal conflict.
Senku does not like to be touched. He recoils from people who attempt to embrace him, whether they respect his boundaries or not is another question. Because he understands that people want some gesture of camaraderie he will offer instead the odd fistbump or punch on the arm, but the most coveted method of affection are his high fives. The only person he allows in his personal space without complaint is Asagiri Gen.
Social conventions are not something that Senku enjoys, understands or follows when he can get away with it. He no longer has a sense of shame after spending some months mostly nude. He wears and prefers gender ambiguous clothing, and did up until he was expected to present himself in a professional manner at the lab. He rarely stands on ceremony, people are lucky if even gives his last name, nevermind any of his titles. That said, at work he must behave professionally and command international respect and so he follows more expectations.
He cares deeply for children and sees the village as his family - which is good, because his father is one of the few that actually will remain dead from the entire ordeal and he would've been alone otherwise. He sees Suika as family, and his village rope bears red threading because she gave it to him. The red ties them together officially as family. He never would've considered himself a person who would get along with kids, but somehow they like him.
Despite his good intentions, his mischievous side allows for him to come across as horribly misunderstood at times, partly because he can be very literal, and also because he finds great interest in things that sound incredibly shady. He's a schemer, he can be quite the troll, especially paired with Asagiri Gen. The two of them together are trouble, and they have no qualms about messing with people who can certainly take it, for their own amusement. He can take what he dishes out though, he sees anything reciprocated as a challenge.
Senku can be very charismatic, despite not coming across that way initially. He doesn't speak flowery words (he has Gen for that) but he tends to win people over by proving his worth. He nearly unfailingly speaks the truth, no matter how insane it might sound. He sets himself goals and always meets them. Betting on Senku is an incredibly safe bet.
Abilities & Inventory:
Inventory: Senku is wearing a tattered blue cape, a labcoat, a dress shirt, tie, dress pants, a belt, dress shoes and his village rope.
Senku has no magical abilities, whatsoever.
Intelligence: Senku has a genius level of intelligence, and could probably quite rightfully claim the title of smartest man on Earth. He wouldn't, but he could. He also has an eidetic memory.
Encyclopedic Knowledge: He's a walking encyclopedia of all of the hard sciences including: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine, Meteorology, Botany, Geology, Food Science, Cartography and he's pioneering time travel. He knows quite a bit about psychology, despite the fact he isn't a big fan of the field. He's dabbled in mythologies, religions and cryptography.
Languages: Senku is fluent in Japanese and English and has some degree of fluency in Russian. He's also fluent in Morse Code and the Iroha Cipher.
Engineering: Aside from the fact he's invented and re-invented countless items, he's gained skills in things like pottery making, baking and glass blowing. There is really nothing that Senku can't make given enough time and the materials.
Hacking/Programming: Something he's done more in his youth than anything, he notably hacked into a supercomputer at the age of 9, as well as modified his laptops and computers with software of his own making.
Medicine: Senku acted as the sole doctor for the village for roughly a decade. Prior to that he'd done many internships all around the world as part of his high school education. He has the skills of a general practitioner and a general surgeon.
Other skills: Leadership skills, clothes making, card shark and cheat.
Dreamotion aspirations: Given access to magic? Senku is going to study the heck out of it. He's going to attempt to learn as much as possible, and become as proficient as he can without a singular focus, much like his very chaotic scientific learning. To this end because he's coming at it from a place of no magic, he's likely going to struggle at the beginning and over time he will hopefully be able to focus on this and learn a wide variety of skills.
Suitability & Plans: Senku's story in canon has finished, and while he does have a project on the go he's not nearly as stressed as he used to be. There's room for more than just his work and keeping his people safe. I'd like to explore what he can do outside of the need to be so responsible. Letting him study the magic and try and understand and master dreamotion will give him the necessary project to keep him rather happy with his dreamself. He's a very versatile character who has restarted his life once before and he will really enjoy blending the realm of fantasy with what he considers to be his scientific truth. He's likely going to take a look at things like the electricity improvement and probably suggest and make motions towards developing Reverein. Honestly, he's probably the guy if there's anyone who wants to organize some kind of development in the city.

Questions: Is there any kind of dreamotion type that would be off-limits? (Aside from blowing up the place in one shot, like I don't know, manipulating time, illusions, that kind of thing.)
