[Background]
[Personality] He’s an incredibly likeable guy, chipper and pleasant sometimes to the point of being ridiculous and childish. He’ll talk and act in a very girlish manner and think nothing of it, despite the fact he’s in a prestigious (and macho) band of warriors. He loves kids, small animals and sweets. The rest of the company seems to look at him as a friend, someone to confide in-despite his seemingly carefree personality, he’s not stupid, and they know it. If he wants, he can give some pretty good advice, or at least provide a listening ear. The fact that he likes to prank people (a little bit of schadenfreude seems to go a long way with him) may be slightly less popular with his friends.
Fun and games aside, he is the prodigy child of the Tennen Rishin-Ryu school, and he’s been around warriors for the larger part of his life. He’s strong-willed and intensely loyal. Whether it’s someone else’s life or his own, he would gladly give it for the greater cause. When it really matters, he’s obedient.
When it comes to sword fighting, he’s a different person. Even when it’s practice against a kid, with nothing but a bamboo sword, he’s not able to go easy on anyone. He’ll give it is all, and sometimes forgets where he is. He’s got a calculating mind, quick feet and keeps his eye on the prize, making him one of the best swordsmen in the company. He knows it, too, and loves to surprise new students: the contrast of his girlish looks and his incredible skills with a sword often shock them. In battle he’s ruthless and won’t spare anyone if they get in his way. Sometimes he has to be restrained in order to stop, and this mindless rage and passion will get stronger as time goes on.
He’s got a pretty big complex regarding his past. He grew up amongst warriors and killed his first person when he was nine. He sometimes refers to himself as a ‘monster’ or an ‘ogre’, as someone who is heartless and kills without thinking about it. He knows why he does it and he will follow the rules of the Shinsengumi to the very end. Sometimes, it seems that he almost sees himself as a fighting puppet, something to command, who will follow his superiors’ orders without even thinking about it. Cut and kill. Sometimes he’ll take it badly, but most of the time he’ll shrug it off.
He is completely against admitting any weaknesses, hiding his cough and even going so far as throwing away medicinal tea while no one’s looking. He won’t admit that he’s not in control of his body, which has always been trustworthy to him before contracting the disease. He waves away any concerns and is quick to distract people asking him how he is, able to put up that cheerful front. And while he seems emotionally vulnerable he only is in exceptional circumstances.
Despite all this, though, his cheerful manner the rest of the time doesn’t seem insincere-when he jokes around he honestly seems to mean it. He just turns quickly, is all. Athis point in canon, he’s a pretty pleasant guy to be around. He’s fun-loving and will sneak out to steal some candies or to steal a friend’s (bad) poetry book, keeping the company’s spirits high.
[Specialties/Abilities] As said up there, he's a prodigy when it comes to swordfighting, so when it comes to that he'll kick butt! No supernatural anything though.
[Affection] He's a pretty affectionate person himself and makes friends pretty easily, but he's not romantic or anything. He doesn't think himself capable of giving or receiving that sort of affection. But if you want to ~*fall in love*~ with him, go ahead!
[Fighting] Excellent at close combat and combat with traditional weapons, especially swordfighting. You're allowed to fight him, but in a log please don't godmod any injuries, and fatal ones will have to be discussed beforehand. Even if challenged he'll be loathe to fight (Rule no. 5 of the Shinsengumi: no personal fights. If this rule is broken: seppuku), but if it's to protect himself or someone he cares about he'll kick ass.
[Other Permissions] Telepaths can read his mind but it won't be too pleasant. It'll be a nice mix of flowers, candies and piglets and death and destruction.
Since he's a historical character, I request you don't tell him how he and the rest of the Shinsengumi end up. You're allowed to recognise the name (seeing as there's already another Okita Souji here, though, another sort of recognition seems more likely!) but please don't tell him any historical facts beyond the Ikeda-ya incident!
[Other Facts] In case anyone missed it: He's got tuberculosis. It's not very developed yet and he has yet to cough up any bloody phlegm, but it'll get worse and so will his mood.
