"Come on, I don't bite...usually." (Illust: Coonkio)

**Jinsei** is a 2nd year and a pretty eccentric one at that. Who was once a top student with a promising career ahead of him; suddenly changed into a tired, messy young man with a newfound obsession with the occult. No one knows what happened to cause his abrupt change in character. Nowadays, when not following a certain someone, he can be found chilling with his new friends from the DnD Club.

## Appearance

Jinsei has short, dark, reddish-brown hair which he purposely tries to make messy. His eyes are greyish purple; his skin is fair and peppered with freckles almost everywhere. He has a tall, average build and walks with super light steps, making it easy for him to sneak up behind people.
Despite school regulations he DIY'd heart-shaped purple hearts on all his uniform shirts. He also rolls the cuffs of his uniform pants up to his ankles; often showing off his mismatched patterned socks. Outside of school he likes wearing jackets, band tees, or occasionally even cropped shirts with skinny jeans of different colors and lengths. For accessories he has different dangling earpieces, and bracelets.

## Personality

Upon first meeting him he can come off as a bit of an oddball. Purposely trying to sneak around and making random poses when he stands still as an attempt to look cool or mysterious. He tends to be blunt and has a sharp tongue to him. Never shying away from pointing out what he sees as obvious. Due to seemingly a lack of social awareness he tends to say or do things that can come off as rude or insensitive at times. Though, he always tries to explain that he never means to upset people and is quick to apologize when he understands he's done wrong.

Jinsei isn't afraid to inform people about the intimate details about himself or his personal life; usually when he's asked about them. Sometimes he would play ignorant or put on a cocky attitude when approached with things he's unfamiliar with. Regardless, he takes pride in who he is even though deep down he understands he's putting on a bit of an act.

Overall, he can be summed up as, "A sheltered overachieving honor student who's going through an emo phase."

## Backstory

Jinsei has no real memories of his birth family seeing as he spent a good chunk of his early life moving between different foster care facilities. He never knew real stability until he was adopted by a wealthy man who took him in with the hope of raising the perfect heir. Though he was kind for the most part, Jinsei's father was an overbearing, strict man who expected nothing short of perfection from him. The entirety of his school life prior to enrolling in [Redacted] was largely spent alone, with only personal tutors or other excelling/positive influential schoolmates allowed to be his peers. For years his life was a never ending cycle of monotony. Between school, piano lessons, and being forced to attend stuffy social gatherings he never truly felt satisfaction or joy due to the stress of needing to be "perfect". It wasn't until the summer just before the start of his 1st year in high school where his eyes would be opened.

While walking home from school he stumbled across a girl having a passionate conversation with a plush rabbit. As it turns out, she was just rambling to it about things he didn't really care to pay too much attention to at the time. He was about to pass it off as just a childish act until much to his surprise the stuffed rabbit responded back to her in a strained, low, voice; which was unlike anything he's ever heard before. He picked up his speed after that, taking a second to turn back to the girl who had completely vanished. This incident has stuck for years afterward. Leaving unanswered questions that made him crave to learn more about paranormal phenomenon. Eventually, developing a mild obsession with the supernatural that would only grow stronger with time.

His sudden interest in the occult was the motivator for him to pursue other interests beyond it. Realizing that before he sought out to learn something new he was stuck in a bubble of ignorance to the world outside of being the "perfect son". After this epiphany, as he would describe it, he shut himself off from his father and other obligations for a while and he went down many rabbit holes thanks to the power of the internet. Later, emerging from his room as a changed person. Much to the dismay of his father who he now has a more strained relationship with.

## Relationships

**WIP**

Azumi Miyagi - His interest in Azumi stemmed from his resemblance to the little girl he met years ago. While he later learns that the unknown child may have been his missing sister instead; it doesn't stop him from wanting to interact and maybe even assist him in his search. He finds his personality adorable while the latter sees him as a nuisance.
