James Konta was born in Kibou, New Japan in the year 21XX. He was the second child of Joseph Konta and Hinata Hirada. After the birth of his 3rd brother, Joshua Konta, both Joseph and Hinata left New Japan, thinking that them being around their children more would cause a renegade Shadowstep members to harm them, as this man nearly did with Jason, James’ older twin brother. James was raised in a Dojo, which was founded and ran by his uncle, Akhiro Nagano Konta. Unlike Jason, James was more determine to push himself hard while remaining humble and respectful towards others in the dojo. Eventually, at age 4, James took up a sword in the dojo and began trying to use it without permission; however his uncle sees this and decides to teach him.

Life in New Japan

Dojo Tourney

James was among the top students of the dojo and soon he was able to put his skills to the test in a tournament of strength. His brother, Jason, wanted to be the best of the students, but was eventually defeated at the hands of James, causing Jason to become furious, at this moment, when James tried to comfort his brother, he witnessed a glare of red in his brother’s eyes. After this, James was put up against his cousin, Jackyln Konta, who put up a great fight against James because of her ability to switch in and out of defensive stances. Both of them were on par with each other, with Jackyln defeating James when she switched to hand to hand combat on the fly while they were using wooden swords. After that day, Jason was nowhere to be and some villagers stated that he took off on a boat with tourist who usually comes to New Japan, causing Ahkiro to worry. One of Ahkiro’s pupils, who had come to visit stated that he will go to find Jason and this pupil briefly confronted and introduced himself to James, and this young man’s name was Garret Marino. Eventually Garret leaves and James spent most of his days hanging out with Joshua and Jackyln. Soon James met and befriended a poor girl who went by the name of Saka, not wanting to reveal her name to him. James even went as far as trained with her a bit, with Jackyln teases him one day about the girl being his girlfriend.

When pondering about his brother, James sought out those who had seen the outside world because he wanted a better understanding of where his brother could have gone, so one day he went with Jackyln to meet with village elders, who called The Yakuza, who had reformed years ago once settling on the land they call today New Japan. They explained to James that the outside world differs from there’s, even going as far as telling James that the tourist that come here on rare occasions are prime examples. But James grew ever curious and wishes to see how things are himself, thinking that he has family outside as well and probably be able to see his parents. Jackyln tells James that he would be worrying about becoming strong and probably be an elder of Kibou and eventually a mentor to future students, just like what she is doing. James and Jackyln went off to other parts of New Japan to learn some more styles in fighting, to test their abilities with various fighters and clans out there, and as always extreme forms of training to push them even further.

Festival Night

Soon the day of the Festival in Mihno was about take place, marking an anniversary of when the Japanese, including the Yakuza who left their corrupt ways, parted from the original Japan to claim this newly form land mass in the Asian seas. James eventually met the girl he hung out with, Saka, and Jackyln performing for the Samurai show for the event. After her part, she wanted to see James and gave James something her faher hid from him. Jackyln tells James the package contain a sword crafted by Joseph Konta to be gien to James, adding that he crafted 3 of these dual sided blades, with Jason stumbling upon them in the past and taking it for himself. James accepts this, but tells Jackyln that he will eventually return it to his uncle, for he feels he is not ready to use such a sword made by his father, but later that night during the festival, these strange men were roughing up villagers nearby, going as far as beating them to near death looking for someone. A Japanese villager attempted to punch one of these men only to find out that these men weren’t normal. The man broke his hand and was easily pushed aside by these metal men in cloaks.

At the festival, James, Jackyln and everyone else were enjoying themselves, and a few tourist who were there were enjoying it as well until the Metal Heads arrived. Forcefully they demanded a man by the name was Dalton Ferguson, but the crowd was shaken and confused. Until they push through the crowd of people, looking for the man and eventually found him. The Metalheads were aggressive and did not hesitate to beat some sense into Dalton, who was a gangster who escaped to New Japan sometime ago to get away from all his troubles of nearly being exposed. Seeing the beating, James walked to stop it, with Jackyln telling James to stand down. James moved his hand away from his cousin and pushes forward. As one of the Metalheads proceeded to slam down its fist on Dalton’s back, James stops it, feeling the pain once he catches the robots hand. James told the metallic man enough, while trying to hold back his expression because countering the Metalhead hurt him. He felt the arm of the Metalhead and realized something was wrong, then glanced at the Metalhead and realized that it wasn’t a man a all. The Metalhead glared at James with its glowing red and yellow eyes.

Meta-Heads, apparent death

In anger, the Metalhead snapped, right after James called it a monster, demanding what he is, the Metalhead threw James saying to the little boy that he should not have done what he did and proceeds to fight James. James used the sword that was given to him to fight the robot, accidentally splitting the swords in two, seeing that the swords were detachable and were linked by some odd magnet. James was eventually hammered by this robot, as the other robots began beating Dalton, accidentally causing a fire in the process. Saka and Jackyln sees this and attempts to evacuate the villagers from the fire, which destroyed their festival, however, some stayed to watch. James was being thrown around, and forced himself to go hand to hand combat with the robots, with every attempt blow and counter shattering his bones. Then it happened. The tired out James dropped to the ground, but was soon lifted by the leader of the robots. The robot held James by the neck, with its other hand grabbing James hair. Jackyln watched in horror, along with others, who what the robots were doing. The leader of the Metalheads threatens the Japanese people and others who were still there, wanted to make an example of James. Its hand let go of James’ hair and transformed it’s hand into a blade. The robot aimed for James’ neck, and slowly motions its blade down to James’ chest then his abdomen. He said to James what are you, taunting James of what he said earlier. James as emotionless, he knew he was going to die that night and glanced around him, the fire and the people looked at him, with both Saka and Jackyln looking at him in shock, screaming his name, however, James couldn’t hear anything at all.

James felt as if he was being stabbed, which was happening, waking him up back to reality and he showed expressions of pain, trying to pull the blade out of his abdomen with his broken hands, but the robot forces it in, impaling James. He let go of James’ neck and he fell to his knees, bleeding to death and eventually he hit the ground on his side and started to black out with the fires raging around him, with faint memories passing his mind as transparent visions, allegedly dying. Witnessing this, Jackyln became enraged and confronted the Metalheads at full speed, only to be knocked to the side by the leader and she too was about to be impaled until Dalton accept to return to The United Kingdom. At this, the Metalhead laughed at the villagers calling them weak and feeble as the boy.

Recovering as a Dragni, power awakened

But to everyone’s surprised, they witnessed James rising when the robot was boasting at its victory. James grabbed his swords that were next to him and reawakens, with the red glare in his eyes, which he saw in his brother Jason. James’ faced was covered with his black hair, all bloody and his wound started to heal itself slowly. Although he still looked pale after apparently dying. He uttered in a low tone the festival is not over, just before the robot attempted to kill Jackyln, the robot turns and sees James. It tried to scan him to see if he was a meta-human but the scan came up as unknown. The Metalheads said James should have remained dead and went to attack him. James got vicious during the fight, pushing his new founded strength into the blades his father had made and destroyed most of the Metalheads, ending them, with only the lead fighting. The leader Metalhead knocked the sword out of James’ had but was easily outplayed when James used the magnet to connect the swords back together, impaling the Metalhead when the sword zipped from behind, stabbing it in the back. Although it didn’t not die just yet, James cut away at the robot , leaving nothing but is semi-destroyed head on the ground. The people looked at James and cheered, and at the same time were in utter fear, thinking of James a monster or some undead. James tried to reason with everyone but after he was fully healed and mobile once again, he looked at the defeated Metalhead and he was looking at the insignia on the robots side, saying the word: Karvner. James took 3 steps forward then he froze and blacked out. Jackyln recovers and rushes to her cousin, and Saka rushed to James as well. She told James to wake up, kissing him on his forehead, and holding on to him.

James was carried by Jackyln back to the dojo, being accompanied by Saka. The man who was in the courtyard was a retired Shinobi mentor, Master Keiko Takeru, who is friends with Ahkiro. Keiko was in shock when he saw James, thinking he had died, but Jackyln informs him that he is still breathing, despite giving the pale complexion. Students rushed to Ahkiro, who was reading s story to the young Joshua Konta to help him go to sleep. Ahkiro then rushed out and witnessed James, and poured out tears, ripping his s garb in the process. When Ahkiro checked for any injuries, he found nothing, already having in mind why this was the cause. They then had James placed in chamber at the dojo for the shock of being impale, near death experience and shock from battle, put James in coma.

Jackyln remained by her cousin’s side until he wakes up, as for Saka, she was still in tears, feeling as though James had left her and vanishes once again. Joshua soon found out about his brother and accompanied Jackyln and others who vist the chamber. Meanwhile, Dalton had returned to UK and within the burnt down village used for the festival, The Metalheads destroyed remains were salvaged by some of the corrupt men of New Japan. James was in coma for a span of 2 weeks and during this time, he was in a locked in dream state where he meets this girl with blonde here, but her face was never shown. Every time this girl emerges from the darkness of his dreams, he sees a remained land and the people he knows, even imagining his parents in his dreams.

Jackyln was soon called to help out the other clans who were having trouble with criminals from the Japanese jail breaking free, and were eventually rumored to have salvaged the robot parts, their first action was attacking a village, in this village, Saka was there and she was caught in the crossfire, which caused her amnesia, and the man calling the shots had targets, including Saka’s parents. At this, Saka’s parents out of land friend sent the girl off with him, thinking it is best if they separate for their little girl for a bit, eventually escaping themselves to Old Japan. Jackyln, with other clan members pushed the Japanese criminals back in a campaign that would take days. Joshua went to visit his brother and on the morning of the 3rd week, James woke up, seeing his brother besides me. Joshua was happy to see James wake and the two of them embraced. James said he couldn’t remember much because he was lost when fighting whomever he was fighting. Soon Keiko and Ahkiro were made known of James awakening when other dojo students were cheering and shouting James’ name while surrounding him. At this, the two mentors rushed from where they were in the dojo and embraced James.

Recovering

Ahkiro explained to James about what has happened, with Keiko cutting in to say that he knows the outside world how it is now, explaining to James what those things he was fighting were. Keiko stated that those robots were emulating a sole voice saying that it was controlled remotely, to which he explains this to James. Ahkiro laughed a bit and said he had forgotten how the outside world is now, adding he only knows about cameras and phones that project holograms. When James asked for Jackyln, Ahkiro stated that she had gone to fight off criminals who had recently escaped. James went out to find his cousin, who was captured by one of the criminal leaders and saves her after defeating the man using robot parts as means of a weapon. Jackyln was so happy to see James, wasn’t expecting him to save her and the clan that was with her, embracing him, kissing him all over his face. They teamed up with one of the clans, E-Tock, to round up the remaining criminals. Later that night, James was told his eyes were red and his skin tone had darkened as if he had a recent tan. At this, Jackyln wanted to know what was going on and spoke to her father with James present. Ahkiro explain to the two of them that they are both Dragnis, a special type of being capable of reaching feats beyond a normal human. Jackyln was confused and at this Ahkiro told her that she to be a half-Dragni, not as durable, but able to still push her limits beyond most humans.

Despite all this, James sees himself as a threat, and the words of the Metalhead leader echo his head, he sees himself as a monster in a way, but Jackyln comforted him. Ahkiro told James that knowing his father and mother, and the awakening of his power, he would have to temporarily leave New Japan for Hinata, James mother, knew that when something like this were to happen, her children should flee Shadowstep. Joshua has not shown any signs of being a Dragni but Ahkiro said he shares the same fate as Jason and James. Jackyln told her father why not send her away too to protect James, but her father said the mad man was after Hinata and her kids.

Going to NYC

Garret eventually revisits the land of New Japan and was immediately told by Ahkiro to take James in, even asking for Jason, however Garret stated that he has no clue where Jason went, but has a feeling that he is strong enough to handle himself. Garret and James became friends, and headed off, not before saying good bye. James moved to New York with Garret, who told James he has distant family members he could stay with. Before he could meet them, he was introduced by members of Garret’s team who defends NYC and train others to help defend, Yecho and Corbin and a young kid by the name of Cladd.

Distant Cousins

Soon Garret meets with Mikhaela Terwillinger, and explains to her about James, her distant cousin, but he did not reveal to her that James wasn’t normal, but somewhat of a superhuman, not wanting Mikhaela to freak out. While living with her, whereas James calls her Mia for short, in a way he watches over his cousin because he does not want to see her get hurt. After watching a movie one night with her, James spoke about why a man wears a mask to save people and stop the bad guy to which Mia told him it is to protect people he loves. At seeing this, James went out on nights whenever Mia was working or asleep and fights off petty thieves, eventually running into rivals such as Walkner Vile, who uses remote controlled a robot to mess around with kids in an ice cream shop. Soon he confronts people from The NeoFoot Clan, even going up against a new enemy known as Kaddak, who tricked Bianca Airesus into fight James, with the fight ending in James saving an injured Bianca from a burning warehouse.

Using his abilities to help, making friends/Rivals/Enemies

James eventually befriends one of his schoolmates, Miranda M. Lymberis the geeky girl who loves cats, who often helps him on some night patrols. The both of them met with and also helped out Jared and Dark Skull, causing James to form new alliance with others, to which Garret had been made aware of old friends and new-found allies.

One of James main enemies, Karvner, the same name branded on the Metalheads when James fought them in New Japan. During one of the two confrontations they had, James was able to save and befriend a girl named Sakura Katsumi, who resembles Saka, and another fight that caused a freak accident where he was cloned by accident during the fight with the newly recreated Dalton being forced into reconstruction due to the clone’s violent behavior. Newer enemies emerged for James to confront, even his clone, making him become a better fighter, thinking more of others with extreme focus on defending those who cannot fight for themselves. James’ nature made Mia become suspect and she wanted to investigate James more but got nothing. But soon when the future CIA trainee was given a task, which she had been on for weeks, to track down a young man who was supposedly buying drugs and paying off unknown persons of interest. Mia suited up to go to Club Red Sky, unaware of James tagging along.

Club Red Sky

The target’s name was Frankie White, a college dropout from Ohio who started a small gang in NYC, and over time he had gave some connections and was arrested for minor things. As Mia tries to find Frankie in a club, James finds Frankie and stops him from harassing a girl, eventually pushing Frankie into a glass ceiling, holding on to him before eventually flipping away from him for safety. Frankie was chased out by Mia and Jams, who took a shortcut and when Frankie trapped Mia, James saves her and the two cousins confronted Frankie for the final time, defeating him, which lead to his inevitable arrest for the final time. That same night, Mia went to James and sees him laying down, and found out he was The Green Samurai everyone was talking about when she spotted his smelly get-up in his dresser, to which James countered Mia saying if it wasn’t for him, she may not be standing right now, adding that he would be devastated if he’d lose her. At the same time, Mia didn’t want her current boss and head detective partner, Brenda, to find out, so she had to play it cool to hide James’ identity, something she would never thought of doing to begin with. After sometime and Mia’s eventually entrance to the CIA program, Garret, including Mia, James and Cladd formed Team Emerald, often going out in pairs or a full team to stop bad guys, and eventually, they all wanted to know about the man named Karvner due to most weaponized criminals and robots baring this odd name, the same name that has turned up once again during James adventures. When the Animal Pack rose to power, Mia and Garret teamed up with a few others to deal with the threat, while James was concerned about Dark Skull who was a friend of his. James wanted to help with Animal Pack too, but Mia said his presence will force the monsters to go to the extreme at what they’re doing. James eventually makes his way to Old Japan to find his friend,

starting the events of Cybernetic Threat in Japan.
