Shintaro Kisaragi

## ***Backstory***

Shintaro was only 5 years old when his parents had divorced, leaving him and his 4 year old brother Kou to be left with their mother, who was the abusive one. They both endured this treatment for 4 years until their dad had won custody and got them both back. Their father is a good man, but he was mostly away due to his work, which was working with gangsters. Shintaro had found out about this, and became exposed to activities that they do. He started being more violent as he thought it was cool.

***1ST YEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL***

Shintaro started his violent behavior here, picking fights with classmates for no reason. As he got on the basketball team his behavior had gotten worse. He started picking fights with his teammates that didn’t pass him the ball, and forced people who weren’t good to leave the team, he even made the Captain quit. This caused him to be kicked from the team, he didn’t show much care for this as he only plays for fun.

***2ND YEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL***

His behavior had gotten better, for at least the first quarter. He started getting involved in more gang related activities, he started helping his father with his work as he enjoyed doing them. He got back on the basketball team, but his behavior had come back. He started hurting his teammates again. He even beat a guy in front of his girlfriend.

This caused him to be suspended for a week, and kicked from the basketball team again. After a few weeks he found out his father had died due to gang activity, which gave him depression and cyclothymia. He started stopping his violent behavior due to this, starting to be more laid back and a bit nicer towards people. He still had the violent side though, but he only did it to those he thought deserved it.

***3RD YEAR MIDDLE SCHOOL***

He was now laid back and chill, he was still suffering from depression. He gained more friends as he was more chill, though his friends were still scared of him. He also got popular with women as he had a glow up and was naturally good looking.

Later in his 3rd year of middle school, he was getting a bit happier, though keeping the neutral personality. He was not let back in the basketball team due to them being concerned about his past behavior. He had graduated from High School as he had good academics, despite his past behavior.
