[atrb=width,400][atrb=valign,top] for ◈ eternity a melody of corruption to cleave the night sky To put it bluntly, Yuzuru is an introvert who, although passably eloquent online, is socially awkward in real life and spends as much time as he humanly can indoors, coming out only when he's in a shortage of barbecue chips, has an errand to carry out for Strega, or has a request to fulfill from Strega's revenge website. To him, most of the things he does is to pass the time or amuse himself while he works to bring about the coming of the Fall, which is, in essence, his greatest life goal. Nonetheless, he enjoys drawing (to the extent he fulfills commissions online), singing (to the point he is somewhat of a celebrity on a popular video-sharing site on which he occasionally posts covers), and, for the most part, anything that potentially leads to violence. When he isn't ruthlessly gunning targets down during the Dark Hour, he spends his time drawing or recording in his room, being yelled at to shut up by his fellow Strega dorm mates (if the latter is the case, that is), feasting on barbecue chips, or occupying himself with some other inane activity. In any case, COME AT HIM, BRO. /thumbs up.

[atrb=width,80%] Alright, so in terms of friends, Yuzuru could probably get along with anyone who has the patience to a) be persistent enough to pierce past his reclusiveness, b) doesn't mind his bizarre quirks, and c) can deal with his occasional bouts of total and utter jerkassery. Being that he's part of Strega, chances are that the majority of his friends will be in Strega, but I don't mind at all if he has a few friends from other factions, so long as plausible explanations are given for how they'd come to know each other.

[atrb=width,20%] FRIENDS 。

[atrb=width,80%] Yuzuru's not a particularly likeable person if you come across him in person. To many people, he's the soulless assassin who's trying to brutally murder them during the Dark Hour or just a generic prick who has morbid views of just about everything and despises the brunt of humanity with a passion. Chances are that most of his enemies are SEES members who are trying to prevent the coming of the Fall—he sees anyone who's trying to stop his life goal from becoming a reality as a threat. There's also the point that people could hate him by virtue of him being a jerk! So, whatever works, so long as it's feasibly realistic.

[atrb=background,http://i.imgur.com/fhPJZ.png,bTable][atrb=width,500,bTable][atrb=cellpadding,0,bTable][atrb=cellspacing,0,bTable][atrb=align,center,bTable][atrb=style,padding: 0px 20px 20px 20px,bTable][atrb=border,0,bTable][atrb=width,80%] Yuzuru has no siblings and his parents are both dead, so I doubt he'd have new family members sprouting up randomly. As for love interests, Yuzuru isn't immune to the idea of love; to an extent, deep down, he is fascinated with the idea, but his aversion to most social interaction drives him away from it. If you have ideas, by all means, share—I'd love to hear 'em!—but I reserve the right to turn down anything unreasonable or unrealistic.

[atrb=colspan,2] THIS TEMPLATE WAS CODED BY HALOGEN STRICTLY FOR PERSONAL USE

[UTAKO SUMIKAWA]

SO BASICALLY ON SKYPE. we pretty have the first meeting down, right? utako would be basically telling kaori how her hair sucks and that she needs to get some super bishounen kpop hairdo—like the one she had in middle school. and then ruru-sama will be wandering in, hoping to get some more ammunition. and then we will go from there, yesss. also this morning we settled on the both of them somehow...befriending each other without any knowledge of what side each other they belonged to? or something? LOL. and then they meet up during the dark hour and having this battle and it's like there is a mixture of anger and angst? somewhere in there.

also lots of fun times involving kaoru-senpai, ruru-sama, and taco-chan must happen. just saying.

[YUZURU TAKARAI]

chyeah, sounds good. |D lmao, i'm just trying to imagine all of this and it's just like...AJSLDA CANNOT COMPUTE, TOO MUCH HILARITY WILL ENSUE. but i'm looking forward to these threads. *u*

yeah, it can probably be a case of both of them thinking the other person is just a civilian or something, seeing as most people don't have personas or knowledge of the dark hour in the first place. and like you said, when they finally clash with each other for the first time during the dark hour—say there's a night when both sees and strega head to tartarus or something, maybe during a full moon—i imagine there'd be plenty of resentment and rage ensuing! but it's okay, we don't have to think too much about that until later— /SHOT.

our shenanigans will be glorious.

[SHINGO TAKAHIRO]

I'd say when these two finally meet each other in the Dark Hour, Shingo performs the act of irritating his opponent though Yuzuru gets him to get serious. He's someone Shingo will have much fun with to the dismay of Yuzuru. I can see the two at each others neck quite often and due to the experience and use of their Personas they tend to get into it. Shingo is very goofy eccentric and tends to act like a fool up until he gets serious. I'd say we go with that and every encounter they have previous to the serious fight I'd find it totally awesome that Yuzuru believes Shingo escapes or matches up with him based upon dumb luck. These two are for sure a fun enemy plot I think.

[YUZURU TAKARAI]

lmao, sounds good! considering how much yuzuru dislikes interacting with people face-to-face, chances are it'll be really easy for shingo to irritate him. every time they run into each other, yuzuru would probably just be like "...you again?", haha. while he might underestimate shingo somewhat during their first encounter, after shingo "gets serious," he's definitely going to see him as a potential threat from then on.

in any case, i'll look forward to rping with you! them sparks're gonna fly.
