Haruto Pépin is a Mage and college student at SOL Academy. Before spawning in, he was a royal guard in Warmthorne.

## Behavior and Personality

Haruto is a charismatic social butterfly with an impressive ability to be friendly towards almost anyone, including those he hates. He is naïve and trusting of others. While generally a sweetheart, he's unaware of how condescending he can be or how infantilizing it is for him to call humans "adorable."

Haruto is cheerful, agreeable, and impatient. He's heavily affected by others' emotions; it doesn't take much for him to get misty-eyed. He considers himself "kind of dumb" and makes up for it in social skills. He loves making new friends, cracking jokes, getting to know different types of people, and playing games. Although he can get quite competitive, he keeps a lighthearted demeanor and is never violent.

Matching his energetic manner, Haruto is often restless, unable to sit or stand in one spot for long. He likes going from topic to topic and conversation to conversation. His eyes are expressive and tend to either look around or pick an object to focus on. When confused, his go-to reaction is smiling nervously.

Haruto bases his worth on his relationships and ability to charm people. He puts pressure on himself to be "the mediator," doing his best to calm those around him down and compromise. He feels guilty for problems in others' relationship, even if they're out of his control. He has a tendency to overshare and will ignore things he finds suspicious about a person to avoid conflict.

## Abridged Backstory

Haruto Pépin grew up in the kingdom of Skye and moved to Warmthorne with his twin brother Tauma as a part of the Warm guard training program, which was recruiting young people from across the continent. After graduating, he not only became a royal guard, but friends with the heir, Anika Warm. This gave him many opportunities to travel to different kingdoms, meeting politicians and celebrities along the way.

Although he's now quite extroverted, Haruto only really opened up once he moved to Aumni in his teens. Back home he was known as a shut-in who, while participating in some extracurriculars, was always shy and quiet. He felt inadequate compared to Tauma and still does to an extent, but has come to accept it.

## Appearance

Haruto is a 5'6" Pure Mage. He has pale almond-toned skin that's cold to the touch, bright blue eyes, gray pupils, and fangs. His hair is short and red with a dyed orange stripe to the side. Haruto has a lot of accessories, including earrings, bracelets, choker collars, hair clips, and gloves. He normally wears somewhat tight pants with a light jacket over a T-shirt or long-sleeve. He sometimes wears short A-line skirts with leggings. Despite being considered androgynous in Warmthorne, at SOL he's seen as more of a femboy.
