HARDBOILED
|
Name: Ren Ikeda Age: 16 Gender: Male School/Occupation: Tenshihishou 1-B Clubs: None yet, but is thinking of joining one. Interests/Hobbies: Ren writes a lot of haiku and other poetry in his spare time, and reads poetry books when he’s not writing. He has some interest in crafts and sometimes makes beaded bracelets for people he’s friends with. All of the special hairpieces he wears (ie: anything that’s not a plain barrette) he made himself when he was bored. He also blogs about his crafts online and often gives tutorials on how you can make some yourself. Appearance: ![]() One of the first things that will occur to someone after meeting Ren is that he’s very well kept. His face is clear of acne scars, and while his hair has a slight fluff to it, it doesn’t look messy. The reason his face looks as clean as it does is because he uses skin cleansers and the reason his hair looks as nice as it does is because he styles it every morning. In fact, everything about Ren’s physical appearance has a certain artificial quality to it, from his hair color, bleach blond, to the clothes he wears, which look like knockoff versions of expensive brands. There are two things that remain constant in his outfits. One is his tendency for wearing hairpins and other accessories in his hair, often of his own construct. The other is the red scarf draped around his neck, which worms its way into any outfit he wears. It’s particularly special to him, though Ren will never say exactly why if asked. Personality: Despite the fact that Ren often dresses in a loud manner, he’s actually a somewhat quiet person. He’s the kind of person people call a “good listener”; he’s always around and willing to listen to what you have to say, though he rarely gives any kind of meaningful input. He’s an optimist and always tries to believe things will be okay. However, Ren’s incredibly indecisive and has a hard time committing to anything important. It’s way easier to just go with whatever the group wants to do or let someone decide his path for him than stress himself out over every decision he has to make. Whatever the mood of the group is, he’ll adjust himself to act that way rather than thinking about things critically, because he’d rather do that than screw up his friendships. History: A while before Ren was born, his parents, a pair of middle class, struggling entrepreneurs, managed to win it big through the lottery. With their newfound riches, they closed their struggling business and moved to Yumegawa during its most prosperous times. Upon moving there, they found themselves woefully out of place and did everything they could to fit in in this new town. They joined every neighborhood association, held block parties, and gave out free products to try and appeal to those around them. Despite that, they continued to feel out of place in the town. Eventually Ren was born, and his parents did their best to try and make him excel. Every week it seemed like they were taking him to some new cram school or class to teach him some kind of skill. From calligraphy to karate, from cram school to cooking school, it was all something super elite and super expensive. But Ren never took to any of them, which ended with him being yelled at for being a failure. As a weak show of rebellion, Ren began to bleach his hair in middle school. When his parents got angry with him for that, he started taking it further. He started styling his hair extensively so it resembled that of the actors on TV. He then started wearing hairclips to keep his hair in place. Then he started using skin products to help his acne clear up. Hell, a little makeup helped with that movie star look, so what was wrong with that? So what if his parents thought it was “girly”? He liked how he looked, and that was what mattered, right? Ultimately, they were just that: weak shows of rebellion. He still went along with whatever his parents would say he should do, and he’d do anything his few friends at school said he should do. When he was accepted into Tenshihishou, it was no surprise to anyone because that was exactly what his grades suggested and exactly what his parents wanted. Now that he’s at Tenshihishou, he’s hoping he can get a fresh start, without anyone witnessing his embarrassing attempts at teenage rebellion or knowing about his overbearing parents. Because hey, that’s just what everyone wants, right? Weapons/Equipment/Combat Skill: Ren was forced by his parents into taking karate lessons at a dojo as a kid, so he has some combat skill, but it’s rusty and he’d probably make a fool of himself if he tried to punch someone in the face now.

"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"

While I'm slightly iffy on the personality section as far as demonstrating Wild Card attributes goes, between that and the history and I can see where you're going with this, and I know you're a good enough writer that I don't have to worry overmuch about this character, so... approved. And insert a confetti .jpg that I'm too lazy to go and find here. |
