By day, Yakkiana is the owner of the nightclub Transcendence. By night, he is the killer for hire known as Cinqueda. He is most often hired by the Yakuza, but is known to accept other contracts. Knives and snipers are his weapons of choice. While he prefers to work alone, he will sometimes work with others when the contract requires it.

​

Cinqueda is cold and calculating. Professionalism is his brand and his armor. Every word and action is chosen carefully. He is fiercely competitive, especially against other mercenaries, and is often blinded by the urge, no the need, to win. To be the one on top. Mistakes are not tolerated, whether they are his own or someone else's. He trains vigorously every day over a fear of becoming stagnant. The expectation is to improve and always perform to the best of his ability. Anything less is a sure death sentence, be that physically or through reputation.

​

Quiet moments are some of Yakkiana's most treasured. When he's on a job, he must always be "on", even when lying in wait for prey. These small, stolen times allow him to free his thoughts and just be. It's not possible for him to spend all of his time in quiet places, however. He has many friends and loves to go out on the town with them. His success in both careers has left him flush with cash, which he spends on his family, friends and the less fortunate. What's the point of all that wealth if some doesn't go back to the community?

​

Jobs at his club are some of the most coveted in the city. It's well known that Yakkiana treats his employees very well. Whenever one of them is struggling, they know they can go to him, and he'll take care of them. Bouncers in the club not only look out for customer fights, but also keep a sharp eye on other employees, to ensure their safety. Loyalty is very important to Yakkiana and he treats his employees like family, in the literal sense, not the bullshit buzzword way. For this reason, he pays them all well above a living wage with annual raises and great benefits, as he wants them to have a great quality of life and stay with the club.

​

Around his family and friends, Yakkiana drops his walls and is quite friendly. Only a select few friends know both his identities, as it's dangerous for both of them. Most friends only know him as either Yakkiana or Cinqueda. Yakkiana used to have a family, but now he thinks of close friends as family. He is passionate and quick to love, however he will always stop a relationship before it turns serious. It's just too risky. While he tries his best to keep his professions separate, sometimes it's just impossible. Transcendence has a soundproof VIP room for those special circumstances. 

 

He loves a good matche latte and makes a screaming tasty meal. He loves to cook, and especially delights in plating. No sweet is safe from him and he can often be seen with some kind of treat in one hand. 

​

Yakkiana's love language is acts of service and physical touch. He's that friend that's always touching your arm, shoulder, hugging you hello or goodbye, etc. He might invite a close friend over to his house for a home cooked meal whereas he would dine out with a normal friend or acquaintance. When alone, he is known to dance and sing his way throughout the house.

​

His mane and tail are his most prized features and he can be quite vain about them. He doesn't like to get his tail dirty and doesn't like it when strangers touch them. Yakkiana loves wearing shirts a quarter to halfway unbuttoned, to show off his luxurious mane.
