ABILITIES/TECHNIQUES;
Yuu had been exposed to the miracle of alchemy as a child when visiting a traveling "magician". The magician was called out, as he was simply using alchemy, but still, the "magic" he saw that day led to a decade of study. He would ask his mother countless questions and try to get his hands on as many books on it as possible. Unsurprisingly, this interest in alchemy stemming from his childhood led to years of research. He knows quite a lot when it comes to alchemy, even attempting to create his own original transmutation circle for the military to use, though, this was before he had known of his potential. His mother was reluctant on telling him their ties with alchemy, even if none of them had the ability to. Though, his mother feared, Yuu could possibly have the potential to carry that skill, as her father had it. It would simply be a recessive gene. Fortunately, yet unfortunately, he did, as he had found one day when curiosity got the best of him. He immedietly reported this to his mother, to which she forbade her son from doing, as to protect him. This, obviously, was a rule bound to be broken, for soon he left home, though still following in the family business, to pursue a career in alchemy, that is, if he was up to it. Since his power was only found very recently, he inept at using it in combat, and constantly makes mistakes that could well lead to his own demise. His fate from now on, only time may tell.

Yuu has a specialized version of alchemy that he uses in combat. He calls this weapon "strings" due to the fact that when used, it takes the shape of thin lines. The lines may grow, stretch toward the enemy, and if used in such a way, could also become a blade while hovering toward someone. However, he doesn't simply use the ground around him to perform the technique, as it is best used with iron. If he were to use the surrounding area, it would be too easy for opponent's to see his attack. Instead, he uses 2 solid iron cubes that he hides in the pockets of his coat.

Obviously, one can not perform transmutation without the correct circles. To compensate, Yuu wears a pair of specialized brown gloves that extend slightly past his wrists. On the palms of each wrist contains a transmutation symbol stitched on.</sub>
