Name: Naegi Fujisaki

Age: 17

Gender: Male

School/Occupation: Tenshihishou High School Class 2-A

Clubs: Cooking

Interests/Hobbies: Video games, and learning new skills for life on his own

Appearance: Naegi is about five feet and seven inches tall. He has brown hair that is in a bowl cut. It almost, but not quite, reaches down to his eyebrows. His eyes are a very light green. His casual clothes usually consist of jeans and a grey zip hoodie that is usually zipped up. He also wears white running shoes. Naegi's face has a very blank expression generally.

Personality: Naegi is seemingly indifferent much of the time, but in reality he is using that to analyze the people around him. He wants to know what kind of person they are before they know what kind he is. When he is close enough to someone to stop his facade of indifference, Naegi is better at listening than responding. He doesn't often have an answer for people's problems. Once he considers you a friend he will trust you completely, and try to be there for you. If he does not consider you a friend, however, he will not trust you and try to analyze what you want from him. If he considers you an enemy he will not even truly listen to you at all, and if given advice by one of these people he will most likely do the opposite. His intelligence is slightly above average, but he still is not very special. He really just wants to live life as he wishes, and not have to live as anybody but himself.

History: Naegi was much different as a child than the person he is today. Naegi's earliest memories are from when he was five years of age. When he had first began school he really liked to make friends and play with everyone. He was very energetic and always willing to share with others as long as everyone was happy. He moved from this town at the age of 7. He hadn't known at the time, but that is probably close to the longest time he has gotten to live in a single place. As time went on, Naegi's energy and outward happiness dwindled with each move from one town to the next. He stopped trying to be friends with everyone. It made him too sad. In his 17 years of life he has gotten more used to it, but is still very sad when he has to leave really good friends behind.

Naegi's family never had to worry about money, as his parents were successful marketing managers at big companies. When Naegi was in the fourth grade of elementary school his parents started to push him very hard academically. Naegi always had to try much harder than the other students so he could be near the top. If he wasn't, his parents became very disappointed. His father would get angry and yell about how he had raised Naegi to be better than that, and that, "You have to try harder if you want to be successful!" At this point Naegi started to resent his parents. It was too much work for him.

Near the end of middle school Naegi's parents started to push Naegi to get into management like they had. Naegi wanted nothing to do with it. This lead to many heated arguments, and days spent grounded. Not much has changed for Naegi since then. Not much other than the town and the people he saw everyday. He sees this move to Yumegawa as just another move, and expects nothing special.

Weapons/Equipment/Combat Skill: Naegi has taught himself a small amount about boxing, but is very beginner level if he were in an actual fight. He owns a pair of basic boxing gloves.

Initial Persona: Prinnies. When a human dies with sins on them they reincarnate into the underworld as a prinny. A prinny is the slave of the underworld. They are the force that does all the dirty work for all the higher ups in the underworld. When you say jump, they jump. If they ask how high you kill them. This is the prinny. Wanting nothing more than to stop being a prinny so they can go back to not doing what everyone else tells them to and maybe slack off a bit more.


- Name:Prinny
- Arcana: XII The Hanged Man
- Drain:-
- Reflect:-
- Null:-
- Resist: Ice
- Weak: Fire
- Initial Skills: Bufu, Cleave, Tarukaja

Roleplay Sample: Naegi slowly faded into consciousness. It had seemed he had fallen asleep on the long car trip to his new home. The car had stopped in front of a house, presumably the one he would now call his.

"Naegi wake- oh. You are already awake. We need you to start unpacking your things. It is still the school year you know. You can't slack off." Naegi's father said to him. Naegi internally groaned. When do you ever let me slack off again? Naegi thought, but he showed no signs of this. He simply got out of the car, and took some boxes from the moving trailer latched onto the car's back end. The boxes did not seem very heavy, but he had been working his arms trying to learn to box lately.

He walked to the house's second floor and into the only non-master bedroom in the house. He began to open the boxes and look through them. One of the first things he saw was a yearbook he had gotten at the school he had attended for his entire first year of high school. He made a small frown. He went to his closet and put it on the back of a shelf. I really can't get caught up in people who were friends right now. I've got too much to do. He thought. He made sure to try to cover the year book's shelf with many things so that he wouldn't have to see it. Naegi also found many of his books in the boxes. "Dummies Guide to Smart Spending", "Cooking Basics", "Basic Self Defense." He made a mental to note to review some of those later. He really did need to know how to live independently. Even if he didn't want to live independently, which he did, he would have to once he decided to stop meeting his parents expectations.

"Look, we want you to get a high paying job, and if you have the same job as us it'll be easier for you to find work." His mother had once said to him. When that didn't work his father said they would give Naegi no monetary support if he didn't follow in their footsteps, and he knew that his father was telling the truth, but now wasn't the time to think about how angry being forced to do what his parents wanted made him. He would have to keep himself from dwelling on it just this once so he could finish unpacking.

Near the end of packing, Naegi had found his TV and one of his newer, more expensive game consoles. Well I guess its okay if I just play for a little bit to calm down from all the stress. Naegi thought. Naegi had just set up his console when his father came in the room.

"What are you doing?" His father questioned angrily. "You aren't even done unpacking, and I'm sure you have studying to do. Use your textbooks to try to catch up with the schooling you missed during our move. You don't need these games distracting you." Naegi's father took Naegi's game console and left before Naegi could say a word. He simply expected Naegi to study as told and left.

Naegi's face changed from his blank expression to one of pure anger. I can't have any time to myself! He thought. It's always studying! Studying studying studying! Naegi wasn't violent, but he wanted to hit something right now. Just to let all of his anger out. He decided on his pillow, if only because he knew it wouldn't break or shatter or send his father back to Naegi's room to yell at him.

"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"
Few problems here:
- You're missing a class number for Tenshi High. You know, a homeroom.

- You sort of shed all of the formatting the template had? Bolds and underlines and stuff? All of it? Why would you do that? Just copy the template from the template sticky, paste it, and then fill it in. That's three new character apps in the space of a day that have failed at this. It's not that hard. @_@

- Run a spellcheck on this, as I'm seeing a couple misspelled words that really should have been caught by one of those.

- Two elements and a physical spell is a bit too much offensive versatility for level one. Would you mind replacing one of those with something non-offensive, like a buff, debuff, restorative, etc.?

- RP sample is kind of okay bit I'd like you to tidy it up a bit. Clean up little mistakes like: "... slack off again?Naegi thought" (there should always be a space between sentences, yes?) Basically just show me you can proofread on top of just writing.

- History is kind of insubstantial, and I'd like to see more to it. Understandable that it's not a very complex or involved history, but I think you can flesh out what's already there a bit. Doesn't need to be massively long, but try to do more with it.

Please look at other, already-approved apps if you find yourself at a loss for ways to improve. This character does look like it has potential to be interesting, so I hope you'll fix it up soon so you can get to RPing with them.

Regular old dialogue is supposed to be spoken in Japanese 'cause this RP takes place in the land of the rising sun, don'tchaknow.

Alright, approved. I popped in to edit a few closing BBCode tags in for the template because you forgot to close off the bold/underline after Clubs, but I don't want to delay your fun because of a simple slip like that. Please be careful with BB tags in the future, though. (We've all experienced a bit of formatting fail like that once or twice. <_<;; )
