Permission Post: Permissions here
Reserve: N/A
CHARACTER
Name: Dr. Senku
True Name: Senku Ishigami
Canon: Dr. STONE (end of series)
Age: 3760 (appears approximately 33)
History: He was a brilliant kid.
Powers/Abilities: The list is long.
Innate:
Intelligence: Senku is vastly intelligent. He's the kind of person who can blow an IQ test right out of the water and never look back. Notably the most intelligent character in the series, it's demonstrated on a constant basis. Aside from raw memory, his capacity for analysis allows for serious development and innovation.
Eidetic memory: Senku has the ability not just to apply what he's read but remember it with precise detail, an impressive feat considering the textbooks and journals he read were well over 3700 years ago.
Supreme discipline/concentration: Senku is able to hyperfocus on anything he finds interesting or even just critical to what he needs to know. The best application of this was when petrified and meant to be in stasis, Senku's mind remained active as he counted each second for thousands of years so he would know what the date was when he was back on his feet.
Autodidact: Senku is a lifelong, independent learner. If there's a skill he doesn't know, but somehow needs, or something he needs to perfect he's very interested in learning what he needs to know. He will learn something even if it won't become his primary task anytime soon, if he wants the knowledge.
Acquired:
Medical: Senku has the skills of a general practitioner/general surgeon. He has a vast knowledge of anatomy and treaments, both in Eastern and Western medicine. He can diagnose problems, perform procedures and even talk people through surgery if he must. He was the only doctor, and he had approximately 150-200 patients for some time between 6-10 years before he retired, finally replaced.
Scientific Disciplines: Scoffing at the "soft sciences", Senku has studied each of the 'hard' sciences extensively including chemistry, biology, physics, geology, medicine, cosmology, astronomy, botony, meteorology, oceanograpy and ecology. Not just the disciplines themselves, but the entire history of how each technological development came to pass, and how to innovate for a sustainable future. He is spearheading the post-2019 scientific world and looking to develop the scientific disciplines of the future. He is the lead scientist studying the parasitic AI, the petrification phenomenon and the cure which he developed. His current project in development is in the foundation of time travel.
Survival Skills: One can drop Senku naked in the woods and he'll build you a modern civilization. He can start a fire, make tools, provide food, water and make a shelter as well as means of protection. He uses his scientific knowledge to identify plants and trees he can use. He can also make traps to deal with animals, and he can fish. Lastly, he can craft clothing and pottery so it would be a semi-comfortable camping trip by the time he's done.
Invention/Innovation: Senku falls heavier on the innovation side of things. He isn't the type to come up with a ton of inventions, but rather fine tune things to fix specific problems. That is not to say he can't invent things, he's invented a TENS suit for swimming training, the revival fluid and is working on a time machine, but he's more task-oriented over being wildly creative.
Languages: Senku is completely fluent in both Japanese and English. It is extremely highly probable he has some proficiency in Russian.
Mathematics: Senku can't just do high level mathematics, he can do it in his head. This includes complex formulae for physics purposes. He can compete fairly well in basic PEMDAS against a calculator, to a certain point. Anything else he can do on paper, unless it requires a super computer. It's not instant, the more complex it is, it might take him a minute.
Engineering: Senku can design, create and repair just about anything in his knowledge base. He can work with wood, metal, glass, electric components, even rocket fuel. He's created far too many things to list, including a variety of vehicles, buildings, rockets, medical supplies...These skills include an ability for technical drawing, meaning he's a decent artist when he wants to be.
Technology: He can not only create and design computer components from scratch, but he can also code and hack, demonstrated by his ability to hack into the university's super computer at nine years old.
Leadership: He has a unique style of leadership where the protection of his people is paramount to anything else, and he strongly values community and making sure everyone has a place in it. He's a very strong delegator, and defers to people who know more on a given subject than him. Not the most demonstrative, his most coveted display of affection is a high five. He holds a great deal of authority and sway, thanks to his knowledgeable position. He is very highly respected and well-liked, and most of all he's willing to make the most difficult decisions.
Other: Senku has honed a variety of other skills including cooking, navigation and sewing. He's also an excellent and patient teacher, to the point that Gen comments he missed when Senku explained things to him. He has the ability to break concepts down and build a person's knowledge up from the first step.
If he had an actual magic power it would be friendship, built on forgiveness. There is nothing one can do to Senku that he will not forgive and dismiss as long as one stops doing it, including petrifying him for thousands of years as part of a misunderstanding, or attempting to assassinate him. He does not hold a grudge. He also has a near inhuman ability to offer trust, that has not nearly backfired on him enough yet.
Inventory: Senku only has what he was wearing on his back. This includes dress pants, a button down shirt, a tie, a labcoat, loafers, a tattered cape with a rope clasp, and a bit of rope that serves as anklet.

It should be noted that Senku resigned as the Leader of the Kingdom of Science in 5750, and still retains the titles of Chieftain, Doctor and General. Prior to 5750 he was merely addressed as 'Senku' (despite holding several titles), but has been addressed as Dr. Senku by those who don't know him ever since.
Suppressions:
Emotions: Senku is well known for not being an overly expressive person. Whether he feels positively or negatively about someone, or just feeling a certain way in general, he always presents an outwardly even, stoic expression. While he does tend to demonstrate things like excitement or interest, he definitely does not express things like fondess for others or even anger. This was pointed out when his best friend remarked he'd never seen him get angry, to which Senku replied of course he was angry, there was just no point in doing anything with that. It was unproductive. Despite his reserved nature, with enough time people can read things like fondness and compassion out of him despite the fact he claims otherwise. Success level: Excellent
Grief: One emotion that Senku occasionally allows to leak through, when alone or in the presence of very select people is grief. Despite the fact his father who was his only family, died a very long time ago, he feels significant grief when he realizes this is the case. This grief is heavy and lingering and he's not gotten over it. When he finds crumbs left behind by Byakuya or finds cause to mention him he does without managing to express this aspect. It's potentially likely that he would never quite get over it entirely, no matter how old he gets. Success level: Mixed
Guilt: An emotion he's been called out on - albeit from Gen, so it doesn't really count - is the level of guilt he feels upon involving innocent people in his ideological conflict. It began with the conflict with Tsukasa and the uninvolved village, although he tried to reason that the conflict would inevitably happen anyway. He often felt at that time that things would be easier for the village if he was not involved. He also demonstrated and expressed guilt for instilling hope in others that could never be met in saying America was prospering and doing well to avoid warfare. It's a heavy weight he carried especially when they got to America and saw what they all knew - Senku had lied. It's caused him to trip up and hesitate at times, but by not carrying the weight alone he's able to continue forward. At present, he feels unsatisfied if not a little guilty that he has yet to manage saving every human. Success level: Moderate
Impulses: Away from strict emotions alone, Senku has well known impulse control issues. He can be reckless in the pursuit of science, and in things like negotiations he doesn't have the patience for nuance and word play. It helps that he can essentially make anything anyone could possibly want, which gives him a much broader brush to negotiate with. When it came time to negotiate with Whyman instead of doing that, he found himself asking scientific-based questions because he couldn't sit on the impulse to deal with the other thing first. He does make some overtures and efforts, particularly when Gen is babysitting him, but inevitably he always breaks. Success level: Abysmal
Greatest Fear: Being alone on the planet with no one around, isolation. This fear is strong enough to induce a panic attack.
Greatest Desire: Senku's entire life to this point has been the pursuit of unknown knowledge. This is a never-ending desire he's constantly trying to sate.
Greatest Regret: He has yet to save all seven billion people on the planet, any that were lost due to the breakage of statues and the weather damage have yet to be saved. It's his driving motivation. He doesn't see the percentage rescued as being enough.
