Shin-Ra Employee File
SREN: 72-XK43-ZN90A
Birth Name: Kai Láng
Code Name: Scarlet Breaker
Alias: Solus
Race: Human
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 120 kg
Age: 30
Date of Birth: December 31st
Town of Birth: Wutai City, Phoenix District
Current Assignment: Turk
Pay Grade: T-2
Physical Description:
At first glance, Solus strikes an imposing figure. Tall, very broad shouldered and extremely well toned with a large build, some might call him a walking mountain. Walking, walking, walking… Solus is not known for his speed, but what he lacks in general slowness of body, he more than makes up for in raw power.
With his position as a Turk, Solus always wears the traditional dark blue suit with charcoal leather shoes and a white shirt with black tie. His shirt is never fully buttoned, and exposes a small portion of his massive chest, much to the annoyance of his superiors and peers. His hair is short and well groomed, jet black in color riddled with streaks of gleaming silver. He always keeps his hair fashioned into a meticulous flat-top, with the longest portion of his hair a mere two and a half centimeters. Furthermore, Solus always appears to be wearing his rather expensive sunglasses of various styles. He seems to favor the look of black slightly squared frames and lenses. His eyes are thought to be either red or orange.

Psychological Evaluation:
Solus is often thought of as a let-down in the shadow of his family’s legend, at least from the Company’s perspective. The Kai of eld was a remarkably gifted warrior with keen insight into what an enemy might be planning, or so the legends say. While glimpses of this gift have surfaced here and there, Solus is a man of few words, saying only what needs to be said in any given situation. To that end, he also never appears to be surprised or genuinely shocked by anything no matter its severity. It is suspected that he is exceptionally keen and knows much more than he lets on.
Most of the other Turks seem to despise Solus, undoubtedly because of how he started within the division. Sticking his nose into everything, pushing points that nobody seemed to care about, or sometimes worse. He has been on more disciplinary boards than any other Turk for investigating classified matters, much to the ire of the Leader and sometimes the President himself. After his most recent board, Solus has reserved himself to quiet down and stick to his assigned work. Only time will tell if it lasts.

Pre-Employment History:
Rikimaru’s Teppanyaki-House: Starting out as a dishwasher while still in High School, Solus eventually was promoted to line cook, ultimately ending his short career as a sous-chef. He really has a gift for Wutainese Cuisine, especially in dishes featuring Coeurl steaks. He used to go catch them himself, after-all, just with his hands!
Employment Records:
SOLDIER
As with all sons of the House of Kai, Solus was sent off to join SOLDIER when he graduated high school, plus a couple of years to finish his family‘s training regimen. Upon applying to SOLDIER, Solus was found to have near perfect compatibility with the program. Oddly however, his body rejected any attempts at Mako Injection, for reasons that were never quite understood by the Doctors and Scientists. Even so, Solus continued on to have a higher than average career. While he didn‘t have near the same record as one such as Ahriman, he did have a respectably high success rate in his missions. He reached the rank of SOLDIER 2nd Class rather quickly, and stayed there. Rumors perpetuated that it was because of his body‘s rejection to the Mako treatment, that his prowess in battle was ignored in the favor of tradition. Eventually after a few years of being locked to 2nd Class, Solus applied for entry into the Turks.
Turks
Despite his unremarkable career within SOLDIER, Solus sought to apply for the vacancy that opened within the Turks as a result of a disastrous off-world mission. Seeing it as his chance to finally prove himself in the eyes of the Company, Solus effectively pulled out all the stops during his exam. Demonstrating an extreme level of both offensive and defensive power was one thing, as he passed the physical exam and battle simulation with record breaking scores. When it came to the tactical portion, no one expected the young SOLDIER to do as well as he did—again shattering records and earning a 100% completion rate in an almost preternatural fashion. It was no doubt thanks to the grooming of his family.
Earning his promotion, Solus immediately set off to bury himself in work. Chasing every lead, every bit of information regardless of its apparent significance or lack thereof. Just as he had a great many successes, so too began his evident fall. He has a history of digging into matters that outrank his access, and insists that he’s discovered one plot after another. This has only earned him a seemingly endless series of disciplinary boards, reduction in grade, and suspensions—all quite far from the legend of his forefather. Nevertheless, given his innate abilities, he‘s been kept on and assigned menial tasks.
Combat Profile:
At a Glance
--Martial Arts Expert
--Melee Expert
--Tactical Expert
--Superior Strength, Defense, Dexterity
--Very high Speed, Agility
--Seemingly abysmal endurance
--Unknown
Solus possesses an extraordinary amount of raw strength, which by most examination far exceeds the levels found in SOLDIER 2nd Class—where he began—let alone 1st Class. Even the KNIGHTS would be hard pressed to match him in terms of sheer power. Naturally, his defensive attributes are thought to be second to none as well. Where Solus is found lacking most is in his endurance. Even though the man is in phenomenal physical condition and can perform rigorous exercise for hours at a time, his battle endurance is among the worst ever seen. When it comes to fighting, he is patient and takes his time moving to action before ending the battle often as violently as possible. While most wouldn’t think him to be considered fast, he’s not nearly as slow as he would appear to be, capable of short bursts of impressive speed and especially agile, most of all with his hands. In the end, Solus is patient, taking full advantage of his strength in all its forms until the opportune moment to strike presents itself.
Regarding magic, he has slightly above average ability to utilize Materia. For obvious reasons, he seldom does, and prefers to rely on his own power. He has been witnessed utilizing his Inner Energy, albeit rarely—almost as though something isn’t quite right. The longest battle he’s been recorded in only lasted five minutes—on the other hand, it would be considered a miracle to last a full five minutes against him.
Way of the Nine Chakras: No official records exist of this ancient martial art; however, rumors run rampant that Solus' exceptional capabilities are reminiscent of this legendary fighting style. Boasting substantial Inner Energy, Solus is able to wreak significant destruction without the use of materia-based magic. There is said to be no known master of this mythical art to have ever lived, or whether the art is even real. [Further details are unknown, but it is believed that any practitioner of the Nine Chakras is incapable of succumbing to negative, and some positive, status effects.]
The Eighth Fist: Another revered martial art, only this one not so mystical and unconfirmed of its existence. Solus is a peerless pupil of The Eighth Fist, a style in which the user employs misdirection to both defend and attack in harmony. It is said that one mistake when applying its methods could result in the untimely death of the pupil.
Phoenix's Fury: This is the reported skill Solus utilizes to fully disrupt magic (or any non-physical force) used in his presence. The range is unknown, but said to be near 50 meters. The details behind how it works aren't fully understood, but it is regarded as an aura that Solus can activate in order to force his target into a physical battle. Its duration is recorded to be no more than five minutes at a time, as that is typically all it takes for him to destroy his target.
Futae no Kiwami-Kai: Thought to be a solitary technique from days of old, as with all of Solus’ arts. The Futae no Kiwami was a legendary technique that was executed in two stages: the first strike with the foreknuckles breaks down a target’s defenses completely, enabling the second strike to deliver the full power unmitigated. The Kai family has further enhanced the technique into a full school of martial arts, with many techniques being laden with added effects. Solus can execute the technique with virtually every part of his body, especially his extremities.
Tou Ate: Roughly translated to “Distance Hit”. Solus is capable of striking in a manner that uses the ground, air or presumably any substance as a medium to deliver powerful impacts from afar. As a result, this strips away the assumed advantage of fighting him from a distance.
Registered Equipment:
Ehrgeiz: Heralded as the most powerful fist weapon in the world, a sacred treasure handed down through generation after generation within the Kai family. It both enables the wearer to deliver the most optimum attack based on ability, and amplifies attack power also based on wearer’s attributes. In Solus’ case, this means his raw overall attack power is unrivaled. Constructed from the remains of a great Dragon God of eld through sacred arts of ancient Wutai, the Ehrgeiz boasts indestructible durability, even through ethereal means. Finger-less gloves mostly red in color with black accents, a yin-yang on the backhand outlined in silver and diamond studded knuckles. Has no materia slots.
Dragonscale Bracers: A combination of treated leather hide with the scale of a red-dragon, the bracer comes as a pair covering both of Solus' forearms and leaving no flesh exposed between it and the Ehrgeiz. Provides extreme physical defense (+75%) and moderate magical defense (+50%). Has four total materia slots (two per bracer), both sets linked.
