Name: Hotaka Kouki

Age: 18

Gender: Male

School/Occupation: University of Yumegawa

Clubs: Go home club.

Interests/Hobbies: Video games, Reading fanfiction, Lurking all over the internet

Appearance:
He has red hair and blue eyes, with an eternal neutral expression on his face. He’s naturally thin, no matter how much he eats. He’s rather short, even for someone from Japan. Wears longs sleeved shirts out of habit, he’s used to getting cold easily. When he’s hot he just rolls his sleeves up.

Personality:
He's hard on himself, to the point of insulting himself mentally, but much kinder to others. When he plans things, he plans months at once, but not until the day before the first part of whatever his plan is. Has this odd tendency to freak out over tiny things, but is cool and collected when faced with huge problems. He doesn't ask for help because he doesn't feel he deserves it, but will gladly accept help if offered.

He is pessimistic about his own luck, but more optimistic with others. Keeps his problems to himself as he worries other people will be bothered by his problems. Wants to help others when he can. He doesn't like it when people buy things for him, he feels like it’d inconvenience them.

History:
He lived with both parents, his father who angered easily but attempted to correct his errors. His mother never admitted a mistake and constantly criticized him. His father was a programmer and his mother did legal work. Since both of his parents worked he was used to being alone, aside from his younger brother. When his younger brother eventually evolved to the point of endless pestering, he eventually stayed in his room as much as possible.

For years his mother had attempted to find some friends for him, usually by forcing him into various clubs. As a result, he’d grown somewhat resentful of his mother. He hoped he could finally escape from his family by going to college. He's had average grades in school, so the best option for him would be a community college... or the next best thing.

Each of those clubs that his mother put him in were okay, but they expected so much of his time and effort and he only sort of liked the people that were at them. It didn't matter to his mother if he didn't like what the club did, just as long as he made friends. That was kind of pointless; he wasn't really friends with these people, he had no shared interests or anything in common with them besides intelligence.

Weapons/Equipment/Combat Skill:
A whip, or whip like objects, he has trouble attacking living things up close because he feels guilty stabbing or slashing things. So he just grabbed a belt and it evolved from there.

Initial Persona:

- Name: Ladon
A green multi-headed serpent that guarded the golden apples, it was slain by Heracles. Its many heads each have blue eyes with no pupils and mouths covered in teeth.
- Arcana: Star Arcana
- Drain: none
- Reflect: none
- Null: none
- Resist: Wind
- Weak: Fire
- Initial Skills: Dia, Garu, Tarukaja

Roleplay Sample:
Hotaka stared out the window of the train he was on, thinking to himself. He had a lot on his mind lately: friends, college life, adapting to taking care of himself, whatever mountain of paper work he was going to have to fill out for graduating early. He made a mental note to plug in his laptop as soon as he moved in, it’s going to be working itself to death soon. He hoped his dorm mates wouldn't mind.

Right, dorm mates, friends he might actually end up interacting with more than just having small conversations with at lunch or on the way home. Living with people meant he’d have to get to know people better, sometimes that’s a good thing, but… Really? You don’t even know them yet and you’re already against getting to know these people better! He mentally scolded himself.

This is going to be a rough orientation week, especially if I’m thinking thoughts like this. Normally he’d just calm himself down by telling himself how much longer until he went home, but that didn't appear to be an option anymore. No… that was sort of a good thing; as the years went by he’d been getting less and less patient with his mother. He wanted to leave, just… oh who was he kidding? You wanted to leave simply to get away from her, you weren't prepared to deal with your own well-being so you began to miss her, you don’t care for her at all do you? You selfish bastard!

There was no use arguing with himself on this, Hotaka always won, one way or another. He pulled out his 3DS and started to play a game, it didn't matter what game; anyway to escape this asshole.

Underlined text is in a different language... English, unless otherwise specified.
Regular old dialogue is supposed to be spoken in Japanese 'cause this RP takes place in the land of the rising sun, don'tchaknow.
