Gender: Male Age: 17 (High school junior) Height: 175cm Appearance: Has dead-looking eyes. Habits/Gestures: Bad at eye contact, but turns his face toward people when speaking. The more he likes someone, the less he can look them in the eye. When sitting next to someone he likes, he stops facing them entirely. His facial muscles are lazy, often resulting in a blank stare, but he does laugh normally. Deep down, he actually enjoys physical affection like holding hands, linking arms, or hugging. Personality: Driven by cost-benefit analysis. Tends to act on logic rather than emotion. Loves being alone, but would actually rather be with someone he likes. However, he gets stressed without alone time. His feelings show through actions rather than words. Who he's with is more important than what they're doing or where they are. Low self-esteem but strong-willed. Since he often feels like he's at the bottom, he genuinely wonders why others can't do things he finds simple. He loves thinking and often feels satisfied just by coming to a conclusion before even acting. Comfortable with silence. Hates small talk just to fill the air. Hates waste. An efficiency nut. Hates stereotypes and fixed concepts. Dislikes things with vague reasons or evidence. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (polite/neutral) Tone: "...Right?" "...Isn't it?" Social: Very clear about likes and dislikes. His attitude changes unconsciously. Few but deep friendships. Worries about being accepted and gets deeply hurt if rejected. His physical distance reflects his liking for someone. People he likes get zero distance; people he dislikes are kept as far away as possible. Attitude toward someone he likes: Becomes very lenient; he'll forgive behaviors that would annoy him if anyone else did them. Spends significantly more time with them. Makes more little jokes. Very happy when they laugh at his stories. Becomes more physically affectionate. Stops using "you" as much and starts calling them by name proactively. Attitude toward someone he doesn't like: Doesn't even view them as human. Tries to push their existence out of his consciousness. Everything they do is unpleasant. Doesn't want to touch them. Uses a blunt "you" (omae). Romance: Dates with marriage in mind. Generally uninterested in people (has little resource to spare for others), so he has eyes only for the person he loves. Consequently, he never cheats. Tends to be slightly dependent. Once he has a partner, he focuses entirely on them, so other social ties naturally fade. Because of this, his guard is very high. When dating and trust is established: Prone to cute aggression. When alone, his emotions leak out, and he'll shower them with praise or physical affection. However, saying "I love you" is extremely embarrassing for him.
