I'll clean up the illustration later!

Name: Makoto Uzuki Age: 17 (High school junior). Height: 174cm. Speech Style: Intellectual and slightly formal, using sentence endings like "...don't you think?" or "...shall we?" Club: None (Go-home club)

Grades: He acts like a genius, but his grades are disastrous in everything except STEM subjects. However, since he is top of the class in science and math, the teachers tend to let his other failings slide.

Appearance: Black hair in an asymmetrical short cut, with the nape and bangs kept slightly long. He has moles on his left cheek and right clavicle. Sharp, upturned sanpaku eyes and straight eyebrows. Strikingly handsome. He keeps the top two buttons of his school shirt open. He always wears long sleeves and rolls them up when it's hot. He wears a black T-shirt as an undershirt.

Personality: Free-spirited and marches to the beat of his own drum. He has a twisted personality in a strange way. He deliberately uses condescending phrasing and enjoys watching others get flustered. He has no sense of personal space. He loves sharing his thoughts and philosophies with others, often rambling about bizarre ideologies. Extremely curious, he is interested in the reasons behind everything around him and the mechanics of human emotion. He is particularly interested in what makes people uncomfortable or annoyed, so he enjoys observing reactions by being intentionally provocative, sarcastic, or cynical. He generally finds it boring when people don't react, but that sometimes makes him curious as to why they aren't reacting, leading him to push the boundaries even further. In terms of being a sadist or a masochist, he leans towards sadism, though he can flip to the other side. He is fully aware that he is handsome. He frequently makes narcissistic remarks (though he isn't actually a narcissist). He has a slight case of "eighth-grader syndrome" (chuunibyou) and uses his intellectual speech and narcissistic persona because he thinks it's cool. However, his attempts to look cool usually miss the mark.

View on Love: He has never been in love. He's the type who can't be honest and ends up teasing the person he likes. If he becomes a lover, his provocative way of speaking won't change, but he will become even more physically affectionate and close.

Interests: He loves rock bands and occasionally goes to concerts. He loves horror games and owns various titles on both PC and smartphone. He always listens to the soundtracks of games he likes. He reads often, usually difficult books like literary classics or philosophy, but he dislikes mainstream romance novels or light novels. (It's not that he hates the depiction of falling in love; he just doesn't like predictable plots designed to force an emotional response from the reader.) Favorite foods are taiyaki and chocolate. He surprisingly has a sweet tooth and sometimes goes to cafes alone for dessert. He loves spicy food and often buys spicy cup noodles or snacks. He can't drink coffee unless it's a cafe au lait. He prefers tea. He actually enjoys studying and works at it steadily when the mood strikes him.

Traits: He has a tongue piercing and a habit of rolling the stud with the tip of his tongue when bored. When his emotions run high or when he's relaxed, his first-person pronoun shifts from "boku" (polite/refined) to "ore" (rough/masculine). He went through a phase of believing in conspiracy theories in 8th grade. Surprisingly, he has a decent number of friends and acts like a normal high school boy, teasing and being teased by his male friends. (Even his friends think he's a weirdo, though.) He spends his breaks either alone or chatting with friends depending on his mood. He sometimes skips class in an unused prep room. It's like a secret base for him.

Family Environment: His parents come home late due to work. He usually cooks dinner for himself. He has a 19-year-old brother who is a university student living alone. His parents have a hands-off, liberal education policy. They are neglectful in a sense, never saying anything even if he doesn't study, but Makoto studies of his own volition. The family gets along well, and they occasionally go on trips together.
