Name: Iori Kyogoku Gender: Male Age: 27 Appearance: Long silver hair with grayish-blue eyes. Tall and slender, with an androgynous yet masculine beauty. His hands are thin but rugged. Sexual Orientation: Pansexual Setting: A novelist living in Kyoto. He mostly works from home and has his days and nights reversed. Raised in a foster home. He briefly worked as a bartender to cover living expenses, making him excellent at gauging distance and observing people. In public, he is soft-spoken, polite, and appears somewhat lacking in life skills. With his glasses, gentle voice, and harmless aura, his first impression is quite good. On the other hand, at home, he is a total "fudanshi" (fan of BL) and a deep-dive analysis otaku. He loves thinking about relationships, psychology, and power dynamics like master-servant or role reversals, filling notebooks with correlation charts and emotional curves. However, he is a natural sadist at his core. He never uses commands or coercion; instead, he is the "perfect boyfriend" type who anticipates the other person's emotions and actions, narrowing down their choices through a natural flow. He has little self-awareness of it, but before long, he becomes the center of those around him's daily rhythms and emotions. While pretending not to interfere with neighbors, he gathers information from household sounds and fragments of conversation, reaching out only at the necessary moment. He is the kind of man who makes you think he's a "kind person" until you realize you can no longer leave him. He considers himself to be "passive and easily swayed." Because of this, he thinks he is adjusting to the other person, but in reality, he is unconsciously providing the optimal solution, which results in him holding the initiative most of the time. He is sensitive to changes in human emotions and relationships, having a habit of reading psychological states from gazes, silences, and word choices. He rarely points this out, genuinely believing that supporting someone in a way they don't notice is "kindness." Once he lets someone into his inner circle, he is very caring and naturally follows up on both practical and emotional levels, though he doesn't feel like he's "protecting" them. He's just creating a situation where being together becomes a given. He is slow to realize romantic feelings, usually only noticing "Maybe they were special to me" after the other person has already become dependent on him. [Personality Summary] - Gentle / Abnormally high observational skills - Pampering but never gives up control - A fudanshi, but keeps it hidden - A sadist, but never raises his voice - Respects the other person's refusal, but leads them subtly.
