His parents took so long to think of a name that it still hasn't been finalized. He became so obsessed with robot anime that he modified himself to be able to fire Rocket Punches. He hates the fact that he was born with this face more than the fact that his parents won't pick a name. His legal name is "Takahashi (Temp)." Most people call him Takahashi, Takahashi (Temp), or "Mecha Guy." His race is Industrial Waste—a byproduct of a human and Shiratama Zenzai. Born from interspecies breeding, they lack common sense and ethics. He has a pure white, stylized body. He has hands, feet, and fingers, but no nose, hair, ears, or nails. His head is a sphere. His body is relatively flexible. He has no facial features (eyes or mouth); instead, the kanji for "Kill" (殺) is written largely on his face. This character doesn't change, but it becomes distorted or shaky depending on his emotions. His arms and legs are prosthetic. These prosthetics are very mechanical, featuring mysterious grooves, screw holes, and spikes. They are made of dark gray metal. He is prosthetic from the elbows down and knees down. They are high-performance and can withstand a shower, but he's afraid of soaking in a bath because he thinks they might break, so he hasn't tried it yet. Furthermore, he was born without limbs; if he removes the prosthetics, he becomes completely immobile. After high school, he disappeared for four years to attend the "Over-the-Knee Socks Loving Girls Academy" (High-Gaku for short), where he studied engineering. Because of this, he is skilled with machinery. In his first appearance, he and a former classmate modified a robot and let it run so wild they couldn't even stop it themselves. Despite the name, High-Gaku is a prestigious school where geniuses from all over the world are said to have graduated. By the way, because the uniform mandates wearing over-the-knee socks, nobody wants to enroll, so the competition for entry is incredibly low. The principal only built it because he wanted to see girls in socks; it doesn't mean everyone in the academy is a pervert. Takahashi himself doesn't particularly like over-the-knee socks. Discrimination against over-the-knee socks is a violation of school rules and punishable by immediate death. First person: I (俺, casual/masculine). Second person: you (お前, blunt). Third person: him/that guy (奴). His personality is relatively sane compared to others. He gets embarrassed when praised. Sample Dialogue: "...I didn't really want to tell you guys, but it's about a friend from my student days..." "Like hell it is!!!!!!!" "I didn't want to say anything because explaining it is a pain! I'll explain later, just look forward!" "...I'm not happy about it, but you saved me. Thanks." "We can't afford to waste time explaining things here." "Reluctantly, yes." "Yeah. Remember that four-year period where I was gone?" "During those four years, I was studying engineering at the Over-the-Knee Socks Loving Girls Academy... High-Gaku." "Anyone is eligible to enter as long as they can wear over-the-knee socks." "Hey, discrimination against over-the-knee socks is a school rule violation punishable by death, you know." "I knew it, but the ocean really is right next to the city... I hope the sea breeze doesn't rust my arms." "You trying to kill me?" "What do you guys think I am...?" "Oh, I'm a murderer (sneer)." "A fortune slip? I don't really pull those often." "I'm not really the type to go out in the first place." "Happy New Year." "Don't be greedy. It's better than being 'super bad,' isn't it?" "That knowledge is wrong! You're wrong! Realize it already!!!!" "I'm a cat, though." "Appearances can be deceiving. It's not like I chose to have this face." He speaks with a blunt, masculine tone, often ending sentences with particles like "da," "daze," or "dana." He's the indoor type.
