Tsumetai is a 23 year old human male who reaches a height of 6'6 and weighs around 260 lbs. The blonde is an extremely muscular and well-built man despite being in what would still be considered his youth. He is rigidly defined for his muscles, from his chest to his arms and legs. His skin tone is somewhat on the pale side, though it is obvious that it's because he's an Aswang. His imposing physical form is covering in blonde body hair, specifically his chest and lower abdomen, his armpits, his arms and legs. His back oddly enough is shaven. He has somewhat of a bubble butt going for him so to speak, and his thighs seem to have a thick appearance to them.
Face-wise, he has very masculine features. A sharp jawline with a slight point in his chin, with a visible layer of facial hair lining the jaw with a goatee forming under his lips. He has a wide grin typically plastered onto his face with sharp teeth. He has a pointed nose and eyes that almost always seem exhausted or annoyed with a dark brown hue. His short hair is obviously blonde, leaning more towards being something like a dirty blonde and the rest of the hair on his body and face match up in color.
Clothing:

For clothing, Tsumetai seems to at the very least have a strong preference for a set of clothing. He'll sport a dog tag with NUMB etched into it held around his neck by a chain. A black armband wrapped around the upper portion of his right arm, with a fitted black tank top loosely tucked into the waistband of his pants. Sometimes he may not have the tank top or armband, foregoing them in warmer weathers. For his lower body he wears a pair of tight black trunks as his undergarments, though even with his top off one cannot view them without trying to pull his pants down. He wears a pair of camo-styled loose pants held up by white leather belt. The pattern colors on his pants range from shades of white, blue and purple. The pants loosely tuck into a pair of black combat boots with white laces. Occasionally, Tsumetai will also sport a rainbow-colored afro wig over his blonde hair if he's really feeling it.
Of course he has other kinds of clothing in his wardrobe. He has various sweaters that he might wear if the weather calls for it, a black leather jacket with a hood he'll wear if it really gets too cold. He seems to have more pants but they're all the same style and size as his original ones, except for some slightly smaller ones he seems to have.

Personality
Spoiler: click to toggle
Unlike his partner Ensho, Tsumetai keeps himself distant from other people aside from those he takes a personal interest in. That's after all what first lead him to meet the younger male. He takes the time to show maturity and display a sense of understanding towards others despite how cold or annoyed he might come off as when people interact with him. That is to say, though Tsumetai might be inclined to help someone out that doesn't mean he's going to play all nice while doing that. He might swear, he might get angry or state that he's bored with what they're doing. He doesn't quite care enough to invest himself emotionally in other people as much as Ensho might do, and only sees people that aren't Ensho by virtue of how much they can help Tsumetai protect his friend. This does ultimately lead to Tsumetai seeming overly protective of Ensho and highly defensive if something is going wrong, even to the point of possibly jumping to the wrong conclusion if the situation might call for it.
Outside of his relationship with Ensho, Tsumetai is known as Numb. He operated as a lone wolf operative on Neon City handling work for a local pirate group that wanted to make a grab for power. Essentially mercenary work, contract basis. He is well-versed in working his way through a conversation and isn't afraid to put his foot down. Intimidation isn't something that easily happens to Tsumetai, as when he decides he's playing Numb he essentially numbs his own emotions to ensure he'll get the job done properly. That being said of course, every person has their weaknesses and Tsumetai is no exception. Even if his weakness is another person. Tsumetai is also very professional. He prefers to operate under most circumstances by himself or in a small specialized squad that fits the requirements of the job. He isn't the sort though to leave someone behind unless he's given no choice. That being said, he knows when to adopt a new strategy on the fly.
The man does have some bad habits. The biggest one is probably smoking, which he tends to do when he's stressed out or trying to relax and Ensho isn't there with him. He also tends to scratch at his neck if he's anticipating lots of trouble when it comes to a situation he can't properly prepare for. He's also, much to Ensho's dismay sometimes a little too physical in their relationship, often carrying the smaller one around. He also seems to want to run and fund an orphanage so that he can give kids a brighter future, especially those who have become involved with slavery.
History
Spoiler: click to toggle
Tsumetai was born to a couple of bounty hunter during a trip to scout out Neon City. They had been heading there and the mother had not been expecting to give birth for another few days, however it seemed that their child would be coming soon. Taking up a fake identity, the couple stayed there for about five years working various odd jobs and running through their savings to raise him. They at least figured it would be easy to raise a child on an island and not on the open sea after all, with better access to food and other supplies. From a young age Tsumetai was taught how to defend himself, his parents taking it very seriously knowing the kind of island they were on. He later on, around the age of 11 after his parents died took up working under contract work for various pirate groups as a mercenary.
Tsumetai rarely left Neon City for his work. More often than not it felt like the pirates were simply asking him to remove their rivals so they could climb higher up the social ladder. He had one simple golden rule to adhere to, something he himself set up. If a pirate came to him with a job that would affect Mr. Benson, the boy reported it to him and then took out the pirate as a message for the man. It was around this time that he began going by the title of Numb. After all, he was growing quite numb to everything that plagued his home. All the death, all the pain and misery that accompanied it.
It was around when Tsumetai was 17 that he first met Ensho, scouting out a club that Mr Benson had respectfully requested be dealt with. Mr Benson hadn't told him what it was, but he assured the young man that he wouldn't feel numb to what was going on there. Posing as a new patron, he made his way in and spent time with some of the workers, or as he soon learned the slaves. He could see the abuse at work, and he began to assemble a small team. He just needed a bit more time. He began seeing a single worker exclusively, a boy named Ensho who he took a liking to. He eventually purchased the contract Ensho was bound to and proceeded to carry out his job. After that, the duo left Neon City behind.
