Takaishi Sora

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 01:39, 24 September 2007

Takaishi Sora is the younger of two children born to Shinga Kasumi and Takaishi Sunase, the cousin of Shinga Shikari, and former mentor in magic to The Star Six and Shirogane Ryou. Though Sora is mainly a minor character, he still makes the occasional appearance, usually to tell the crowd about something in his world when his cousin is unable to visit, to teach Ryou a new spell, or just when he's got nothing else to do. Ironically, though, he was probably the only single person who actually cared about having a girlfriend..

History

Before Kokoro

Sorren was born to two loving parents. However, since his father was half Japanese, half English, while his mother was completely Japanese, it was his father who gave him a name of English origins. As a result, he was soon given the nickname of Sora so that it would be easier for the rest of the Japanese-speaking country to pronounce his name.

His life, for the most part, was normal. Sora possessed great potential for being an excellent water mage, so he took higher grade courses in magic. The boy's schoolwork, however, was pretty average - he wasn't failing it, but he wasn't the top student in the class either.

Because of this, the school let him lecture to beginning students once in a while on various types of magic. He was skilled enough, and besides - in high school, it didn't interfere with his courses. Two years ago, his lectures on teammwork and friendship actually brought the mages in Kokoro together, though he didn't quite know it at the time.

Sor soon found himself a part of the group, but didn't pull out as he found it amusing. Being a part of this group would soon connect him to the cafe, as the other mages had their own reasons for going in, as he later found out.

Kokoro Days

Sora didn't have much of a role in Kokoro, other than acting as Ryou's mentor in time magic. He occasionally appeared from time to time, but otherwise was just there when no other mage was around.

As time progressed, and revealed that Sora and Roy were good friends, then Sora played a bigger role when it came to Ryou and school. Being a popular student, it was Sor who managed to get Ryou the current status that he has at Hoshizen (for instance, sitting with the seniors at chapel, or hanging out with them at the den). Likewise, Jishou came into Sora's life, though they weren't originally on good terms: Jishou was determined to get a new lab hand, Sora was determined to get out of here.

Soon, the two came to a compromise, and Sor is currently studying astronomy under Shou.

It's also known that Sora is one of the few mages (the others being Shirogane Inori and Nikkou) that knows about Gamu's secret. However, he has not told the other mages, nor has he exploited it to his advantage. Instead, he's oddly kept it a secret as he gained a girlfriend from school, Kiri, who's attending Tokyo U with him.

At the moment, Sora lives in a dorm with his new friends, and has chosen to major in Economics at Tokyo U. While he likes science, it was never his strong point.

Kokoro Draft Future

Sora's future was never really planned in any dimension. It's assumed that he married and had children like everyone else, but his profession is still unknown, as well as where he lives. (It is assumed that he still lives in Tokyo, but he could have moved to Hiroshima)

Other-Worldly Counterparts

Kingdom Chronicles: Here, Sorren is the oldest of Sora and Kairi's two children in the main timeline, having Shikari as his younger sister. Supposedly, the boy's been saddled with Lightning McQueen as his gummi ship, and he's a keyblade bearer, though he isn't happy about either item. If anything, though, Ren is a wanderer: he just wants to find his sister and his friends, and go home. But.. who said that he couldn't have fun while doing it?

Chrono Mew Mew: In this dinension, Sor seemingly took over the role of Keiichiro as he, along with the two Shirogane boys, Kyr and Takeru, worked on the new Mew Project. While he is an adult with children, the brunet still seems to hold an important role as the secret-keeper, as he stepped down from the Project when it began again.

Personality

From a first glance, Sora seems pretty studious and serious. While he does tend to take things more seriously than others, the teen is actually a pretty easygoing boy. While he doesn't care as much about some things than others would, he knows his priorities and where he's heading in the world. Thus, he lets life drive him most of the time.

He can keep his calm easily, and tends to let people talk to him normally. When others talk, Sor listens. That's not an easy feat, some would say, but it comes naturally to him. In return, he can get people to listen to him when he needs to.

Sor's main weaknesses are his friends and his family, who he would do anything for. The water mage, however, dispises slimy objects and won't even go near anything of the sort.

Lovelife

• Sakuraba Kiri: Sora's current girlfriend. The two aren't often mentioned, other than the fact that Ari often alludes her to being Sora's "girlfriend of the month". In any case, though, Kiri's only been with Sora since May - they attend Tokyo U together.

Mage Information

• Element: Time and Water

Weapon

• Torrent's Sword: A long, silver sword with a sea blue gradient-colored handle. In times of need, Sora can unlock the jewel embedded just below the handle and unleash a giant burst of pure water at the world.

Abilities

• Water Control: Sor's able to control forms of water, such as small waves in the ocean or the water in a bird bath. However, he can't control anything vast like the ocean without draining a huge amount of his energy.

• Dimension Hop: Unlike the other mages, Sor's gotten to the level where he can take others to other dimensions simply by willing it. Of course, using this without a spell drains about half of his energy.

• Combinations: Sor can easily combine two types of weak spells to form new ones; the other mages call them 'mini unisons'. (An example would be his old attack 'Time's Wave', which combines the basic spells Slow and Water.)

• Healing Source: Anytime a water elemental attack hits him, Sora is healed by them. In the case of time magic spells, Sora is either healed by the attack if not performed by an allie, or the effect is nullified if it isn't helpful.

Signature Attacks

• Spiral Wave: Sor sends a sprial-shaped stream of water at the foe.

• Tidal Shores: Sor floods the arena, causing his foes to be thrown over by multiple tidal waves

• Dispel: Takes the effect of both all positive and all negative spells off a person.

• Silence: Silences a person's voice, making them unable to speak for the rest of the battle.

Unison Attacks

• Heating Spring: A combination of Shikari's Burn spell and Sora's Spiral Wave. The two stand back to back, holding their weapons in their air. As they do so, a spiral of water sprouts from Sora's sword, surrounding the two. Flames appear from Ari's wand, heating up the water. Whenever a foe comes close, the heated water attacks the foe with more power than normal. This can be used for not only one foe, but several as well.

Stats

• Strengths: Techinque, Recovery
• Average: Focus, Offense, Evasion
• Weaknesses: Speed

Trivia

• Sora's last name was originally Takahashi. However, this was quickly retconned to Takaishi when it caused problems, as another member on the site that Sora originally appeared on had the same last name.
• More recently, Sora's first name was retconned to 'Sorren', as he is an alternate of the Kingdom Chronicles Ren. This was also supposedly to negate the 'Sora clone' vibes, but they're still there.
