History:
Yusuke was raised by a single mother. A drunkard single mother who is a complete mess. So much, that she exists but doesn't exist at the same time. He was your average High School delinquent, feared by most of his classmates (aside from Keiko who was the exception), and targeted by a couple of the nastier teachers who were a disgrace to education. The principle however, had Yusuke's back when it mattered. On one particular day of skipping class, he saved a boy from getting hit by a car when the kid chased his soccerball into the street, and died.
Botan took Yusuke to see Koenma, Prince of the Spirit World. The toddler gave Yusuke a test, which eventually allowed him to return to life. However, he wasn't getting off that easy. Yusuke was to become the new Spirit Detective (working with Botan as his assistant) for Koenma, and protect the human world from nasty little demons and apparitions who escape from where they belong and cause trouble.
His first case sent him on the trail of three dark artifacts which were stolen from the Spirit World Vault. With the help of his detectiving tools (after which they are never seen or heard from again lol), Yusuke managed to defeat Goki, make a deal/alliance with Kurama, and then eventually defeat Hiei as well. Even if the latter was by Kurama's help and sheer dumb luck. With the artifacts nice and safe, Koenma sent Yusuke off to Genkai's place to stop a demon named Rando from becoming the old psychic's apprentice. He ran into Kuwabara there, and the boys worked togetherish to bring the demon down. Yusuke became Genkai's apprentice, and he filled in Kuwabara about his new "job", becoming partners of sorts. The two of them were sent to Maze Castle, where Kurama and Hiei were sent along to assist him in defeating the Four Saint Beasts before Suzaku could use the demon flute thing to like...turn everyone into mindless zombies.
Next up, Hiei was sent to deliver a video to Yusuke under his probation. This video, told the tale of Yukina, an ice maiden who was being held captive by greedy businessmen who wanted her tears to sell on the black market. Yusuke and Kuwabara invaded Tarukane's compound to rescue her. Mission successful. However, the Togouo brothers weren't dead. Younger Toguro came back to find Yusuke... and "convince" him and his friends to enter the dark tournament. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama, and Genkai all entered as fighters with Koenma as their manager. They went through test and trial to work their way up to the final round (Well, Yusuke slept through the first couple of rounds) and made new friends of former opponents along the way (Jin, Chu, etc), where Yusuke battled Toguro in one final match which determined the fate of the isle, and the lives of the team managers (koenma and Sakyou), and came out the victor.
And now...he gets to enjoy a little victory quiet. Not.
Personality:
Yusuke is easy to get along with, but not at the same time. He's your typical schoolyard badass, complete with the angst-filled attitude and a knack for complaining about either work, school, teachers, and whatever else fills up his plate. He won't take anything from nobody. Despite his rough edges however, Yusuke is a very kind-hearted and courageous boy who's heart is in the right place. Although a chronic complainer and very lazy, he mans-up when he needs to and faces everything with a steady determination. He's in love with Keiko, but never outright says it (at least until later in the series). Although always picking on Kazuma Kuwabara, the two of them are "thick as thieves". Has strong morals in sense of what's right or wrong. Yusuke's got a knack for dumb-luck plans that get them through the day.
Attacks:
Spirit Gun - From the tip of his finger, Yusuke can shoot a burst of concentrated spiritual energy (like a gun, hence the name) as a projectile. Variations of this technique include the Spirit Shotgun (multiple smaller 'bullets' from one shot, concentrates the entire fist) and Spirit Gun Double (two shots fired at once). His limit is 3 shots a day.
Spirit Punch/Kick - concentrates the spirit energy around his fist or foot for an extra punch of power on contact.
Spirit Wave - Attained from Genkai as the "final test" in her training during the dark tournament. Unlike his other spirit techniques, this channels energy throughout the entire body, increasing its power dramatically. However, much of the power is then lost if the attack is not used as close range.
Friends/Family:
Drunkard mom; Koenma/Botan; Hiei/Kurama/Kuwabara; Keiko; "Grandma" (Genkai)
RP Sample:
Yusuke closed his eyes as he basked in the sunlight of the "lunchtime" sun, lounging out upon the roof of the school building. Nice and quiet, no teachers to bug him or classmates to piss him off. That is, until a familiar shadow loomed in the way of his relaxation. "Yusuke, what are you doing up here? You're SUPPOSED to be in class. It sets a horrible record for our school...-" By this time the highschool boy completely stopped listening to the girl. Keiko, his longest and bestest friend, and love interest. He rolled his eyes. "-...As the class president, it's my responsibility to make sure-" "Hey Keiko" the boy interrupted. Keiko floundered a quick moment. "Yes?" "Nice skirt." Keiko Humphed, but he smirked as her little blush didn't escape his eye. Score for Yusuke as the class president took her flustered exist, complaining about how he never listens to her.
Anything else you'd like to add:
This is Post Dark Tournament but Pre Sensui in terms of Arcs
