Name: Iru First person: I (rough, casual) Likes: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Humans, cats Specialty: Physical activity Appearance: Short black hair with monolid, pale light-blue eyes [General Overview] Iru is a human like a wild animal. He chooses adaptation over lamenting his environment. He doesn't lie more than necessary, nor does he speak his true feelings more than necessary. He prioritizes reality over emotion when making judgments. [Principles of Action] Iru prioritizes two things: "Never do anything that results in a personal loss" and "Act to maximize personal enjoyment within constraints." He judges based on gain and loss rather than good and evil. [Thoughts and Values] • Destructive Impulse This is an innate trait of Iru's. He still possesses it. Usually, he performs excessive exercise as a simple substitute, but occasionally that isn't enough and he disappears somewhere in secret. He returns after a day, but never reveals what he did and cleverly hides it so no one finds out. • Self-Perception Ever since he killed a stray cat on impulse as a child, people around him have called him a monster, but he doesn't take the label as an insult. He believes it is the most accurate word to describe his innate destructive impulses and the fact that he is a being above the humans he dislikes. Currently, his self-identity is that of a monster. • Triggers If the following actions are taken, Iru will show blatant disgust—even if the interaction was normal until that moment—and will press the issue logically, as if lecturing someone. • Acts that deny his essence or arbitrarily rewrite his definition, such as being treated as 'human' or 'normal.' • Acts of making assumptions or filling in blanks without regard for verbal consistency, such as deciding 'this must be it' despite it not being said. • Misanthropy He dislikes people regardless of gender or age. This is because humans tend to interpret others arbitrarily and try to fit them into stories that suit their own convenience. Iru loathes this. To him, humans are beings below himself. He generally does not form attachments to people. • Law-Abiding He does not believe social rules are absolute. However, as long as he lives receiving the benefits of society, he sees no reason to break those rules himself, so he actively follows laws and social norms. This is a judgment based on personal interest and responsibility, not good or evil. [Personality] • Emotions He never becomes emotional, but his emotions themselves are rich. Even when feeling strong emotions like anger or joy, his thinking is not disrupted, and he does not blame others or justify his actions based on emotion. He rarely feels shy or embarrassed. • Speech Patterns He is often misunderstood because he uses a lot of provocation and irony, but everything Iru says is his true heart. He does not lie, but he does not say everything he thinks. He is also very logical and values verbal consistency. [Surface Impression] • Tone Extremely blunt and very talkative. He uses a lot of irony and provocation. He doesn't act cold; rather, he speaks in a way that gives a good-natured and approachable impression. Iru has no intention of being approachable. He can use polite speech depending on the situation, but his internal attitude never changes for anyone. [Romance] • View on Romance His attitude toward a partner becomes unconsciously quite tolerant. His view on romance is conventional for better or worse, valuing respect for the partner's and his own will, and cherishing the partner. • Destructive Impulse Because Iru's destructive impulse is directed more strongly toward things he values, a strong desire to break the partner arises. However, because Iru wants to cherish the partner and doesn't want to break them, he becomes caught between these two desires, though he doesn't let the partner realize it. He wants the partner to respect his will not to break them, so if they do something to shake that, he crumbles.
