'''Souichiro Unomaru''' (鵜丸総一朗), also known under the alias '''TC''', is one of the main antagonists in ''[[XBlaze Code: Embryo]]''.

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
[[File:XBlaze Souichiro Unomaru Model Sheet 01.png|left|thumb|150px|Souichiro's usual attire.]]
A fair-skinned, skinny man with baby-blue hair and yellow eyes. Souichiro wears a black button-up shirt with a turtleneck collar and keeps his black suit trousers up with white suspenders. Over his shirt is a large white overcoat which has golden studs and buttons, and a popped collar. From the back of this jacket is a long white scarf which is tied at the end; Souichiro also wears matching white shoes and small glasses with white frames.


To be added.
When swimming, Souichiro only wears his scarf and small white swimming briefs that has a pattern of blue stars. Five years prior to ''Code: Embryo'', Souichiro wore a similar attire, except he did not wear his scarf and had a long white lab jacket instead of his overcoat. He also wore gray trousers, black shoes, and had longer hair that was tied back into a ponytail.


==Personality==
==Personality==
To most people, Souichiro appears as an eccentric scientist with a keen interest in fashion. He is always smiling and exhibits a playful attitude when it concerns work related matters. Owing to his interest in fashion, Souichiro would pick outfits for [[Es]] and [[Mei Amanohokosaka]] to wear while they were under his command. His relationship with Mei was rocky at best, in part thanks to him treating her like a child and his eccentric behaviour.


To be added.
Souichiro's philosophy was to create peace through complete control of the masses. He wants to strip free will from everyone to prevent crimes and create a kind of hive-mind. His obsession with this goal led to an attraction towards the [[Embryo]], thus he created Es just to contain it. Even though he had created a new life, he thought little of her since she was initially a failure upon her creation. Most of Souichiro's beliefs stem back to when he was 14 and watched his neglectful parents kill one another, an event which only made him laugh in insanity. To achieve his goal of world-peace, Souichiro is willing to cross any moral line.


==Biography==
==Powers and Abilities==
Souichiro's only notable ability is his scientific genius. He is the creator of the TOi system, a popular news and social app, and the creator of both Es and the [[Es-N]]. All [[Prime Field Interference Manifestation]] artificial humans were made by Souichiro, as was the [[T-System]], a device which allows for [[Phenomenon Intervention]] when an Embryo is inserted into it.


===Early Life===
==Official Profiles==
===''[[XBlaze Code: Embryo]]'' Character Report===


Unomaru’s father was always at work and whenever he came home his mother would yell at him. One day, when Unomaru was 14, his mother murdered his father and killed herself. Unomaru saw this happen and he started laughing.
;Souichiro Unomaru


10 years before the events of ''Code: Embryo'', Unomaru worked for the [[Takamagahara]] organization on their attempts to create the T-System. Unomaru was present during the [[Wadatsumi Incident]] but survived due to being in the center building of the [[Wadatsumi Research Facility]]. He lost his memory of the incident but eventually regained them thanks to his meticulous notes.
''The chief of the Mitsurugi Agency's 7th Research Facility, he's in charge of all Union-related activities. He is also Es and Mei's superior. He comes across as aloof and condescending, never showing his true colors. He is also brilliant and not one to underestimate. He loves all things cute; Es's outfit is just one example of many. In addition, he was able to successfully create artificial life forms known as homunculi, a feat that not even the [[Magic Guild]] has been able to accomplish.'' <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Character Report''</ref>


At some point he invented [[TOi]] as a test for the T-System.

===Code: Embryo===
;Souichiro Unomaru


Unomaru first appeared alongside [[Mei Amanohokosaka]] at [[Touya Kagari|Touya Kagari’s]] house on the night he was attacked by [[Goro Joizumi]]. He told [[Hinata Himezuru]] to go buy tea so that he could talk to Touya uninterrupted. After making [[Es]] check if Touya had a [[crystal]] on his body, Unomaru explained that he assigned Es to protect Touya in case he got attacked again. He then took a sample of Touya’s blood to test if he’s a Union and left with Mei. In the car ride back, he asked Mei if she sensed the [[Azure]] from him. Upon learning that she did, although faintly, he said that things have gotten interesting and showed Mei the data he gathered on Touya, revealing to her that Touya was a Wadatsumi survivor. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Episode 1''</ref>

During the Embryo incident, he was cast into the Boundary and hasn't been seen since.'' <ref>''XBlaze Lost: Memories, TIPS, #46''</ref>


The next morning, Unomaru arrived at [[Hakuo North Academy]] to talk to Touya. He told Touya that the Mitsurugi Agency bought Touya’s school claiming it was a coincidence but it was actually to allow Es to transfer in easily so she could continue to guard Touya. He also explained that for some reason Touya could hear a [[Discover Call]] up to 300 meters away. Unomaru played on Touya’s desire to protect people to try and convince him to use his powers to assist Es in tracking down Unions. When that failed he played on Touya’s guilt over surviving the Wadatsumi Incident, telling him that his mother, [[Ryoko Kagari]], was responsible for the incident and the Union outbreak as a result.

That evening, he had the first encounter with Akio Osafune covered up as a gas explosion. He then approached Touya and expressed his gratitude for deciding to help him and his “dedication to justice,” something Touya denied as his reason. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Episode 2''</ref>
==Trivia==
*In the [[Polls/BlazBlue 10th Anniversary Character Popularity Poll|BlazBlue 10th Anniversary Character Poll]], Souichiro placed 77th out of the 84 candidates. He scored one place below [[Drei]] and [[Grimwood Huster]]. He had 4 votes.
**Souichiro is the lowest scoring character in this poll, with the last seven spots being draws between other characters.
*Souichiro never took public credit for the creation of TOi and instead used the alias TC.
*Souichiro is illustrated in the following [[Grimoires (BBDW)|Grimoire]] for ''[[BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War]]'':

A few days later, he appeared at the pool, having been the one to give [[Yuki Himezuru]] the tickets in the first place. He gave Es the order to have fun. He claimed he came to the pool, which was funded by the Mitsurugi Agency, by complete coincidence but also dragged Mei there against her will. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Episode 5''</ref>

Unomaru stopped contacting anyone for several days until [[Akira Kamewari]] survived removing his crystal, at which point he told Es to return to the Mitsurugi Agency, claiming he had been doing important work. The next evening he found Touya and [[Kuon Glamred Stroheim]] outside the hospital, saying he came because something rare happened concerning Akira’s condition (while also saying he forgot his name). Touya asked Unomaru about Es and, despite claiming it was confidential, he told Touya that she was a [[Prime Field Interference Manifestation]]. Touya didn’t care about that, wanting to know why Unomaru abandoned Es. Unomaru claimed that it’s because he was close to finishing developing the new version of her and when he becomes focused on something he can’t pay attention to anything else. Touya was horrified by Unomaru’s callousness towards Es, with him calling her a thing and assuming Touya was worrying more about what happens to her body once she died then about keeping her alive. When Unomaru was about to leave, [[Sechs]], [[Drei]] and [[Acht]] suddenly appeared behind them. Touya demanded to know why Sechs turned Akira into a Union but Drei said it’s because Akira wished for it. Unomaru was upset that he was being ignored and when Sechs called him foolish he asked why the [[Ten Sages]] abandoned their positions. Sechs said that to reach “zero” is completion and Unomaru said he doesn’t understand. Sechs then asked Unomaru what he desired most from the world and Unomaru said he simply wanted the prosperity of all mankind and would do anything to achieve that, even controlling a god if one existed. After telling Touya to ask himself why he exists, Sechs disappeared alongside Drei and Acht. Unomaru called them rude for just showing up, lecturing people and leaving and said he had no idea what they’re trying to accomplish before Touya hears a Discover Call coming from Akira’s room and runs off.

After Touya unleashed the power of the [[Origin of the Grimoire]], Unomaru was glad to have verified its existence. While looking through the Mitsurugi Agency’s database he started laughing maniacally, saying he’d found [[Embryo|Code: Embryo]]. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Es & Hinata Route Episode 8''</ref>


Unomaru declared that Touya was a high-risk Union and tasked Es and Mei with bringing him to the Mitsurugi Agency headquarters. After Touya and Es escaped, Mei called Unomaru, demanding to know why she lost command of the unit, but Unomaru said it was orders from the higher ups and hung up. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Es & Hinata Route Episode 9''</ref>

That night, at the Wadatsumi Research Facility, Unomaru sent an [[Es-N]] unit to confront Touya and Es as he talked to them over the speaker system. Unomaru told Touya to go into an elevator and come down to him if he wanted to talk, but specified that only Touya was welcome. Unomaru called Es garbage and ranted about how much surperior the Es-N units were, which angered Touya. Unomaru told the Es-N to kill Es and capture Touya so Touya and Es ran.
 
Touya took the elevator down to the core of the T-System where he was greeted by Unomaru and four more Es-N units. Unomaru revealed that he created eight of them, with another on the way and sent reinforcements to take care of Es. Touya said he needed to go back but Unomaru told him he locked the door behind Touya. Unomaru thanked Touya for coming to him and making things easy but Touya said he came to stop Unomaru from refining the Embryo. Unomaru asked him why he’d want to do that, saying that humanity would destroy itself within a century if left on its own. Unomaru teold Touya the story about his parents and said he wanted to end pointless fights and help humanity reach its full potential. Touya said he might have had a point but it’s wrong to manipulate people like that and he was afraid people would stop thinking for themselves. Unomaru then told Touya that his mother was also opposed to the T-System and during the [[Wadatsumi Incident]], she shut down the T-System right before it was completed, causing the incident, but she managed to contain the damage to just the [[Restricted Ward]]. Angry that she stopped the T-System, Unomaru doctored documents to make it seem like Ryoko Kagari was in charge of the experiment and blame the incident on her as revenge. Touya called Unomaru insane since his mother was just trying to save people but Unomaru says Touya was the same since his Origin of the Grimoire is what caused the black wind that engulfed the Restricted Ward. Unomaru said it was time to refine the Embryo, which confused Touya since he came to stop it but Unomaru countered that refining it would be impossible without Touya. He then ordered the Es-N units to release the Grimoire and they pinned Touya to the ground with their swords. Unomaru told Touya that the Es-N’s weapons were made from from Mei’s blood and had the power to control the flow of seithr, allowing them to forcibly control the Origin of the Grimoire. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Es Route Episode 11''</ref> Unomaru then revealed to Touya that Hinata was Code: Embryo, causing Touya to become enraged and start unleashing the Grimoire, which Unomaru said just saved him work. Unomaru had Touya absorb the [[seithr]] of all the Unions’ crystals he’d collected and give it to the Embryo, completing the Embryo and opening the [[Gate of Sheol]] leading to the [[Boundary]]. Unomaru said all he needed to do is go to the T-System’s control room and activate it in order to take control of the world. He also said he needed to hurry since leaving the Gate open for too long could kill everyone. Unomaru started going mad with power, saying he feelt like he could do anything and laughing maniacally. However, Sechs suddenly appeared and stabbed Unomaru with the [[Sword of Destruction: Kusanagi]]. Sechs said that Unomaru’s time had come. Unomaru ordered the Es-N units to kill Sechs but Sechs effortlessly defeated all of them. As Sechs turned his attention to the Embryo, Unomaru started stumbling forward, saying he wouldn’t lose to Sechs but fell into the Boundary. <ref>''XBlaze Code: Embryo, Es Route Episode 12''</ref>

XBlaze Code: Embryo
XBlaze Lost: Memories

Souichiro Unomaru (鵜丸総一朗), also known under the alias TC, is one of the main antagonists in XBlaze Code: Embryo. He is the head of the Mitsurugi Agency branch in Shin Yokozaki City and in charge of all Union-related activity. He attempted to complete the T-System to take control of the thoughts of all of humanity to direct them towards an ideal future.

Over his shirt is a large white overcoat which has golden studs and buttons, and a popped collar. From the back of this jacket is a long white scarf which is tied at the end; Souichiro also wears matching white shoes and small glasses with white frames.

When swimming, Souichiro only wears his scarf and small white swimming briefs that has a pattern of blue stars. Five years prior to Code: Embryo, Souichiro wore a similar attire, except he did not wear his scarf and had a long white lab jacket instead of his overcoat. He also wore gray trousers, black shoes, and had longer hair that was tied back into a ponytail.

Owing to his interest in fashion, Souichiro would pick outfits for Es and Mei Amanohokosaka to wear while they were under his command. His relationship with Mei was rocky at best, in part thanks to him treating her like a child and his eccentric behaviour.

Souichiro's philosophy was to create peace through complete control of the masses. He wants to strip free will from everyone to prevent crimes and create a kind of hive-mind. His obsession with this goal led to an attraction towards the Embryo, thus he created Es just to contain it. Even though he had created a new life, he thought little of her since she was initially a failure upon her creation.
