Kyuji Taichimi

Nagisa/Eva kinnie

## Appearance

Kyuji has pale skin with a lot of burns on it, especially his face, neck and hands. He has lavender-colored hair, that is tied in a ponytail and is long enough to cover his right eye, there's a high possibility of it being damaged. He's wearing a white shirt with purple jacket on it, jeans and sneakers. He also wears black gloves.

## Personality

Kyuji is a highly anxious person. It's almost impossible to get him to interact with people, he has social anxiety and very low self-esteem. Usually, he'll only speak during his introduction, staying silent the whole time after that, unless he absolutely has to speak.

When he gets comfortable around someone, he can speak to them though.

He prefers to stay alone and to keep distance from the others.

Kyuji is an easily scared person, it's easy to intimidate him, in that case he'll freeze, not being able to say anything. If pushed too far, he'll offer highly violent things to do, like burning down the building he's in.

## Backstory

[look at him, another OC who needs therapist]

[TWs: Childhood abuse]

Kyuji is an unwanted child. His father left his mother while she was pregnant with him. Ikue had to raise Kyuji all by herself and work overtime, while living in Japan, where single mothers are looked down upon, perceiving how everyone forces her to always and only put her son first at the expense of her own needs and desires. Ikue was still at the age when she wanted to feel love, but she realized by the time Kyuji grows up, she'd be too old for anyone to actually love her and no one wants to be with her cuz she has a child. This plus the fact she was quite young and was already stuck at being a mother led to Ikue hating her own child with burning passion, whom she physically and verbally abuses on multiple occasions. At the same time, she kept apologizing to Kyuji and she claims she has changed, but then she falls back iinto abusive behaviour.

Because Ikue was highly abusive toward Kyuji during his whole life and did beat him up for slightest mistakes, he developed traumatic mutism (*traumatic mutism is when a child develops mutism in all situations because of a trauma experienced*).

Kyuji becoming an arsonist was a pure accident. He was simply cooking for himself and his mother, but accidentally started a fire. Cuz of the fire, his mother couldn't leave the house, while he could. And even though he understood it's a terrible thing to do, he left her to die. Ikue burned to death, Kyuji was severely injured, but survived and developed pyrophobia.

He has never planned to become an arsonist, but after witnessing too much abusive parents while searching for a place to stay at, he started to burn down their homes, saving the kids from abuse. He understands that calling police/child services is more effective, however, he witnessed himself that police doesn't care, so he took everything in his own hands.

## Relationships

### Ikue Taichimi

His mother. Kyuji doesn't feel anything, but hatred toward her. At the same time, he's guilty about letting her die in such a painful way as burning alive.

### Tsubaki Hoshinari (Neon!)

Maybe friends, I dunno. Tsubaki helped Kyuji run away from Guardian.

Love interest lmaoo. So, Tsubaki was tsunder-ish over Kyuji. Tsu offered him to look around together, saying that he's doing that cuz someone may kill Kyuji. Later on, Tsubaki helped Kyuji to search for a notepad.

After minigame, Kyuji confessed to Tsubaki awww. Currently, Tsu is one of people, who heard Kyuji speak and he also got nickname 'Tsu tsu'. Kyuji feels more safe and open around Tsubaki, speaking freely around him. Also, *Kyuji got laid~*
