Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Yoite is tall, standing at 5'10" - 5'11"ish, and very thin. Unhealthily so, made especially obvious because he has a small build to begin with, so under his clothes he looks kind of like a skeleton with skin stretched over it.
2. How old is he?
Sixteen, almost seventeen years old.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Slouch for the most part, but carries himself with confidence when on official business. Usually though, he slouches and just generally looks as if he's trying to disappear.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
His health is best described as being shitty. First of all he's very underweight, which causes a world of complications on its own, but add the fact that his immune system is completely shot to that and his own tendencies to never rest enough and push himself to the limit that's bad enough. And then on top of that you add the effects of his powers, which makes his body break down from the inside, and makes his organs age much more rapidly than they should. Not to mention that all five of his senses are disappearing, starting with hearing and then going downhill from there.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Graceful and fluid normally-- he walks with determination, mostly determination to keep away from others, which often makes him seem tense and often rushed.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
He's been described as beautiful in canon, which is... More a word used for girls than men, as far as Yoite is concerned. But yes, he has a feminine, frail sort of beauty to him with a girly face and big blue eyes, and the whole thing. To himself though? He doesn't see anything attractive when looking in the mirror, and has no concept of physical beauty when it comes to himself (or other people really), finding himself disgusting to the point where he'd prefer not to have to look in a mirror. What he sees is different from what everyone else see.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Yoite is quite pale, and he does have quite a few scars, the biggest one being one on his neck and one on his back.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Long in front, short in back and very fine. His hair is black.
9. What color are his eyes?
Blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
His thinness is the number one, I think. And then there's the scar on his neck, but he usually keeps that one covered.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Neck and shoulders from being pretty tense pretty much all the time. And his back, due to the way he tends to curl up.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Casual, usually in dark colors or natural colors, anything that doesn't make him stick out. He always wears a coat though, and a hat... And gloves.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
His clothes are usually at least a size or two too big, and more fit for winter than anything. He's comfortable in them though and finds them easy to move in, which for him, is very important.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Doesn't always wear the coat and hat in his free time. That's the only difference.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
His voice is kinda... Quiet by nature. Very androgynous to the point where he can be confused for a girl when he speaks softly enough.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Softly, almost a whisper but not quite, only really speaking up louder when he really has to. He speaks evenly, at a normal pace and is kinda blunt for the most part. Never says more than he has to.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nope.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Japanese and English. Speaks both pretty well, though his Japanese is way better than his English.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
No. He could though. It kind of depends.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He prefers not having to speak at all. But he does think about things a lot before saying them.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Somewhere in between? He can be eloquent when he wants to be. Just. Prefers to not speak much at all.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Very smart, according to his canon. He picks up on thing quickly and is very observant and learns new things that way; listening, observing and sometimes mimicking the moves of others. He's also good with numbers, and even taught himself to read lips on his own when his hearing started failing, so yeah. Smart, with a lot of unused potential.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He likes making plans when necessary, but if need be he'll think on his feet. It really just kind of depends on the situation he's in.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Introspective and curious about everything, thinking about everything and nothing from serious things to silly ones. It really depends on what situation he's in. On his own though, he's just. Very thoughtful when it comes to everything ever.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
Mostly self-taught, so... Not much of an 'official' education.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
He's a ninja! So he's good at fighting. Also good at planning. He's interested in learning more about math, and headcanonly, I also think photography is something he could get into if given the chance.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Extreme introvert.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Even-tempered and melancholy when left to himself, the type to think a lot about bad things and end up depressing himself, making him quiet and reserved in social situations. Not to say that he can't have mood swings though, they're just rare. He can be very driven when it comes to his own goals, but that's about the only thing he'll be truly passionate about.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He doesn't respond very well, to new people or new situations or any changes to his usual environment. He'll draw back into himself, or just flee and avoid having to deal with it all together.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
A little bit of both. It really depends.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Fight if necessary, flight if not. He doesn't really have a default and rather considers the situation and then decides what to do.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
He doesn't have one. Most jokes fly right over his head, and pranks would just annoy him.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
He's asocial. Depressed. Kind of borderline. Schizoid too.

To be erased.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Uhh... Shit. Yoite feels a whole lot of guilt and even if his father abused him, he feels he deserves it for killing his mother. So yeah, he feels really guilty about taking his father's wife away from the family.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Yep. He has the same sort of relationship with them as he has with his father; except Tsukasa who he was really close to. Mostly because he was only his half-brother and Yoite didn't feel like he'd taken anything from him.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Nope. He just feels guilty in general when it comes to his family.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Hanabusa is someone he thinks of as a mother and he allows her close because she doesn't ask questions a lot and is just there for him when he needs it and feeds him. She's also the one who made his scarf, so she holds a special place in his heart indeed.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Yukimi Kazuhiko was his guardian. The two had a strained sort of relationship to begin with, where the general rule was don't ask, don't tell and they were very distant from each other. However, before Yoite knew it, Yukimi had become one of the most important people in his life and a man he could trust, though more importantly, needed to protect from his own plans, not wanting to get him involved. They understand and care about each other in their own special little way though. Yukimi is also the one who gave him his name, so he's grateful.
Miharu Rokujo, Yoite's ticket out of existence. Their relationship was quite strained to begin with, because the whole point was to not have one besides business. But understanding each other on a deeper level due to their similarities, they ended up having an unbreakable bond, and Yoite truly cares for him, and always will care. Though if he met Miharu again now, he might feel a little bit betrayed.
6. Does he have other close friends?
Kazuho counts, I guess. His doctor and bringer of food. There's also Gau, and Raikou to a point, though his relationship with them is a bit strained.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
NOT AT ALL. In fact, he doesn't really want them. He prefers going through life without making too many connections with people.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope. Not even in a relationship at all.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
None.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
He doesn't really look for any. Ideally though; someone who doesn't treat him like as if he's made of glass and lets him keep some distance.

Nope. And can't have any.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
N/A.
