❧ (ooc) TL;DR
❧ BODY & APPEARANCE.
⒈ Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
He's about the average height for his age. He's rather thin and isn't really built at all. A bit typical for a city kid.
⒉ How old is he?
He is Fifteen years of age, but due to what he is- no longer will he physically age in body.
⒊ Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He stands straight the majority of the time, although not stiff-his shoulders are relaxed, his legs are loose, elbows slightly bent, he's not holding himself at attention. There's nothing very formal about his posture, even in formal situations. If he feels he's in a dangerous situation however his whole body is tense.
⒋ How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He's not fit, but he's not unfit either. He does do some active things, particularly riding his bike just about anywhere, not that he won't skip out on that to get a lift in Tohru's car. He also has a habit of climbing trees for, really no reason at all. His slender build is probably most to be blamed by having a high metabolism.
⒌ How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
He tends to move in a relaxed pace. He' snot that clumsy but he's not exceptionally graceful either. He's got good balance-- but he's just pretty much average.
⒍ How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Both his parents are really rather attractive, that and they had him rather young while they were both attending college. He dresses stylishly ( a influence embedded in him from growing up in the city) and has gotten the eye of a rather attractive girl his age. However he figures he must be somewhat attractive but he doesn't have any ego about it.
⒎ Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Natsuno is rather light skinned, but not abnormally so. No scars as in his time as a human he was just a typical kid who tended to stay in doors when he could.
⒏ Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
It seems really soft and a bit flowing, he doesn't do much with it and probably blames his dad for his hair. It's a bit long but not too long enough to be picked on for it. Usually the most he does with it is one brush through in the morning and call it good. It's obviously a dark purple in color.
⒐ What color are his eyes?
Much like his hair they are a violet, however they seem to get more 'intense' when he's feeding and may even show a single thin line of red around the iris.
⒑ Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not really.
⒒ What are his chief tension centers?
Shoulders and his neck.
⒓ 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?
He has a very stylish wardrobe but also very odd too. He doesn't shy away from wearing pink, and kinda dresses like a hipster actually. But he's also worn gothic dandy style-- to rather gothic looking t-shirts. He likes dark colors usually but doesn't avoid other brighter colors. He also wears normal typical clothing that doesn't really fit any 'style' but those tend to be easy to move around in.
⒔ Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Yep they fit too well sometimes. I don't think anyone would be able to force him into clothing he didn't like to be in so, he's more than at home in his style choices, even if they're weird.
⒕ Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
He doesn't have a job. But he does have a school uniform that's rather comfortable.
⒖ You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers, usually stylish sorts, not boring single color. They tend to have designs.
❧ SPEECH.
⒈What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Youthful I guess, it's smooth.
⒉ How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He speaks evenly usually but that changes for everyone depending on the situation. He usually talks without any hesitation- he doesn't hold much back and only speaks as much as he wants to let on.
⒊ Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nope-- he might sound Japanese?
⒋ What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Japanese, and considering his from modern Japan- it's safe to assume he knows some English.
⒌ Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Never had it, it's strictly Japanese for him.
⒍ Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He doesn't like the idea of having attention upon him in masses. He thinks over his words but he's a quick thinker.
⒎ Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
He speaks like a typical teenager, but he doesn't use any slang at all and nor does he really curse.
❧ MENTAL & EMOTIONAL.
⒈ How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
He seems to be pretty intelligent, he doesn't skip school work because he has had that dream to get to the city by being accepted into a college there. He's also a bit street-smart to add to it.
⒉ Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He does both, constantly.
⒊ Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
blaaaahhhh
⒋ What kind of education has the character had?
Highschoooool.
⒌ What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
blahblahblah.
⒍ Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert.
⒎ Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
He generally tends to be rather calm and relaxed. Not laid back but just quiet and withdrawn or fixated on what he's doing. He can come across as distant and cold or even out right mean. But man, he can lose his temper depending on the situation, usually if someone bothers him even teasingly he will snap verbally at the offender. May even aim a hit-- that won't really hurt at all.
⒏ How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He doesn't like new people, he tries to go ignored as often as possible. He doesn't want to anyone to grow attached to him and he has a bit of suspicion in regards to people-- he's aware of how quickly people make assumptions of him and mentally file him away as a label, and this annoys him severally inside.
⒐ Is he more likely to act, or to react?
React mostly in normal situations. He kinda hangs back a lot and focuses on himself and less on others unless something is directed at him. If it's a dangerous situation he will be trying to act first, if possible.
⒑ Which is his default: fight or flight?
He's more of a behind the scenes fighter, meaning he uses his head to make plans to orchestrate, but if he's caught off guard or the situation is beyond his control he will take with flight. He knows when he's in over his head and also wants to be the one to deem when it's his time to actually die once and for all.
⒒ Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Nope. Natsuno is pretty much out of the loop on jokes, he can get them but he won't laugh or anything but probably stare at the person who said it before shaking his head and directing his attention else where. If you pull a prank on him he'll snap and retaliate.
⒓ Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Well he's 'kinda' suicidal. He doesn't really deal with it, it's more of something he has accepted, he believes he is figuratively 'already dead' and gets by-- by taking in the resolve that he will die soon on his terms.
⒔ What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
Moving to the City. This took him away from the surroundings he was comfortable with.
Meeting Tohru. He was basically the only person he let in, after Tohru barged his way into his life.
Megumi 'nightmare'. He has a 'night terror' mistakes it for a dream, comes to learn of the reality of it.
Tohru's death. Natsuno loses everything that tied him to the village.
Tohru attacks him. In which Natsuno tries to talk Tohru into running away with him to the city and leave everything behind.
His 'Death'. Where Natsuno doesn't really die, but assumes he's about to and accepts it verbally and mentally.
⒕ What does he fear?
In this moment? Nothing. At first he feared that he'd be stuck in the village, but he has already accepted he would never escape this place he hates so much-- and he's accepted this would be the place his life would end in.
⒖ What are his hopes or aspirations?
He doesn't have any, anymore. It used to revolve around getting out of the village, going to college in the city.
⒗ What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
There really isn't much he's hiding anymore. But I suppose one minor thing is the fact people do grow on him, even if he likes to push them away and pretend they don't.
❧ RELATIONSHIPS.
⒈ Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Well there is hardly much of a relationship at all. He gets mad easy at them for their choices and holds a strong resentment when it comes to the fact they were the ones who moved him out of the city. When his mother leaves him and his father for the city (though really she was only hypnotized to say that and surely was killed by the Shiki) -- Natsuno shows no sign of worry or anger, he doesn't acknowledge it at all. Then again he was also weak himself in bed. When he's a Jinrou-- his father ended up snapping mentally. But--- once again Natsuno didn't seem bothered at all... if anything he still ate his father's special turtle soup.
So relationship? None. He's not attached to them and there isn't really any real love there or even admiration.
⒉ Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Nope he's a only lonely child.
⒊ Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
The only family we are aware of are his parents.
⒋ Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Nope. He's pretty stand offish, he doesn't consider his best friend family either.
⒌ Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Tohru. Tohru, Tohru, Tohru. The only person Natsuno let in past his shell of distance. Well the year he moved there he pretty much made a habit of ignoring everyone, even when they spoke to him. Natsuno rides his bike usually around and one day he had to push it along the walkway because he got a flat- he crossed by a house where a tall boy doing his chores of watering his parents garden (lots of gay ass rainbow sparkles from a hose here)- this boy was Tohru and caught sight of Natsuno's plight. Natsuno on the other hand attempted to ignore him for the most part. Tohru asked him his name and if he'd like for him to patch the tire for him but of course Natsuno denies him either and continues pushing his bike a long. Another day comes and once more- another flat tire. Seriously Tohru's got to be laying nails out on the path or something. He stops before Tohru's house and Tohru's there to greet him-- by name-- surprising Natsuno who quickly tells him not to call him that. Tohru ignores it and pretty much forces Natsuno to LET HIM INTO HIS LIFE AS HIS BEST FRIEND.
⒍ Does he have other close friends?
Blahblahblah.
⒎ Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
blahblahblah.
⒏ Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
considering his lack of warmth with his family, he considers his friends more important, well friend.
⒐ Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single. Probably foreveralone.jpg too.
⒑ Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope he's 17.
⒒ Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
He never sheds any light to an attraction to anything! He does read a lot of magazines and manga but we are never shown what kind to give any hint if he likes models or idols or well anything.
⒓ What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Blah.blah.blah.
⒔ Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Haaa his dad would flip if he did. But no he's not interested in having any... spawn.
⒕ Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Oh where to begin.
⒖ What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
BLAH BLAH BLAH.
⒘ What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
BLAHBLAHBLAH.
❧ BELIEFS.
⒈ Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
He isn't given a birthday in canon so I can only assume and 'give' him one (June 26th). But the most fitting sign could be that of the 'Cancer' due to his general moody behavior. He has a hard outer shell of defenses set up but if one were able to pry past that with honest intentions-- you can bet he will go out of his way to try, in his power, to protect you.
⒉ Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
The most religious he gets is using various religious symbols ( Protection charms, crosses) to protect himself against Shiki. Beyond that-- he doesn't believe much any any god, his parents are rather rational people and probably atheists which might have influenced him growing up.
⒊ Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Blahblablah.
⒋ How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
BLAHBLAHBLAH.
⒌ What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
BLAHBLAHBLAH
❧ DAILY LIFE.
⒈ What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Comfortable. He's not rich or anything but he's not hurting. Despite being 'outsiders' in the village the family workshop seems to be doing okay considering they moved to the village for the change of scenery.
⒉ What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
BLAAAAAAAAAAAH.
⒊ Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
He lives in a cozy house with his parents, the house doubles as a workshop, his father being a bit a carpenter. His room is a nice large size and he has a pretty nice bed, probably something his Dad made. He has a desk near his window which he usually keeps open unless he feels uneasy vibes.The room is tidy but not obsessively so. One might find a pair of used socks from the day before next to a hamper and the occasional crumpled up math assignment. He probably wouldn't mind Tohru coming over but generally he tends to stay away from home if he can for no real reason. He tends to hang out at Tohru's more-- taking the blond's bed for himself while the blond is busy playing video games.
⒋ Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Probably magazines and manga. He seems to like to read but nothing too serious like a novel or something. Beyond that he tries to save his money for the one day he will get to the city to continue his schooling. Too bad it never comes.
⒌ What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
He's just a student. He's probably good in his classes. He doesn't really enjoy it so much beyond the fact when he's there he's back in the City again.
⒍ What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Blahblahblahblah.
⒎ What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
