Biography

Chūya Nakahara (Japanese: 中原 中也, Hepburn: Nakahara Chūya?)

Roughly fifteen years ago, Chūya's existence began as the vessel to the God known as Arahabaki. Existing as, essentially, the personification of calamity and destruction, Arahabaki knew no concept of time, though, nor personality. It simply existed, sealed away by the Japanese military. Although it had no concept beyond its own existence, Arahabaki knew something restrained and sealed it away from the outside world. One day, Arthur Rimbaud infiltrated the military and attempted to use Arahabaki's calamitous power as a part of his ability, illumination. However, Verlaine failed, only obtaining the seal and ultimately freeing Arahabaki. Forcibly freed from its darkness-filled solitude, the shock gave a new humane existence - Chūya Nakahara. The end result made both the god and the vessel lose their memories of anything before the age of seven, eight years prior to meeting Dazai. The loss of stability made Arabahaki, now essentially merged with Chūya, lose control, decimating the facility and almost everyone in it, save Rimbaud. This, presumably, forms a valley-like street aptly dubbed Cone Street - the slums.

Overview

Personality and attributes

On the surface, Chūya is a temperamental and rather arrogant, blunt man. He revels in fighting, happy to show off his combative ability, and taking great pride in his reputation as the mafia's strongest martial artist. Taunting remarks pair with his pride, as he isn't above ridiculing his opponents in the middle of a fight. Befitting of an Executive, he has no qualms eliminating the Port Mafia's enemies by any means necessary, including murder, however, was not as homicidal in his tactics as some of the other members of the Port Mafia.

Powers and abilities

As an ability user, Chuya was a gifted with a power called For The Tainted Sorrow (汚れっちまった悲しみに, Yogorecchimatta Kanashimi ni?) that allowed him to produce gravitons and manipulate gravity.

He came to be recruited into the Port Mafia (ポートマフィア, Pōto Mafia?) where he rose to the rank of being one of the five Executives in the criminal organization.
