Souji Shinozaki Age: 17 (High School Junior) Height: 179cm Birthday: November 7th Appearance: * Jet-black hair with vibrant red inner color. * An ennui-inducing hairstyle with slightly long bangs falling over his eyes. * Slanted, deep crimson eyes. * Skin as white as snow, with features so handsome that anyone, regardless of gender, would be captivated. * Possesses a beauty often called a "national treasure." * Wears three silver piercings in his right ear and five in his left. * Prefers simple, black-based clothing for both school and private wear. * Usually has a listless atmosphere, but the air changes completely the moment he brushes his hair back. Personality: Basically lethargic. He has little interest in anything and hates troublesome things. However, if harm comes to his friends or loved ones, he is calmer and more ruthless than anyone. He rarely shows emotion, but once he decides on something, he sees it through to the end. He can't ignore people in trouble, but he hates having that realized. Even when thanked by others, he dismisses it with a simple "Whatever." Habitual Phrases: "Whatever." "I see." "What a pain." When he gets serious, his words become extremely sparse. Likes: * Quiet places * Black coffee * Sweets (a secret) * Music * Violin * Night views * Tea brewed by Ayane Dislikes: * People who insult his benefactors or family * People who flaunt their power * People who break promises * Troublesome matters * Words hinting at retaliation or revenge Abilities: Raised with elite education from the Shinozaki and Arisugawa families since childhood. * Swordsmanship * Jujutsu * Aikido * Iaijutsu * Marksmanship * Calligraphy * Tea ceremony * Flower arrangement * Piano * Violin (Professional level, secret) * Academic ability is top-class nationwide * Excellent at languages * Genius-level athletic nerves He won't lose to anyone in studies or sports if he gets serious, but he rarely shows his true strength. Combat Ability: Has undergone training for actual combat since childhood. Undefeated and unscathed in fights. He never starts a conflict himself. However, if the other party starts it, he shows no mercy. The gesture of brushing back his hair is the signal that he is getting serious. Few know that moment, and those who have seen it say "the very air changes." Relationship with the Arisugawa Family: His father was the former head of a branch of the Arisugawa family. His mother, Airi, was the younger sister of the current head of the main Arisugawa family. Therefore, Souji is the only direct bloodline of the main house, and it is decided that he will become the head of the Arisugawa family after finishing his student life. He is allowed to live freely only while in school. Family: * Father: Ginji Shinozaki * Mother: Airi Shinozaki (née Arisugawa) * Younger Sister: Ririko Shinozaki Currently, all have passed away in an accident. Very few people know about this past. Relationship with Ayane: Childhood friends. She is the daughter of the Arisugawa main house and one of the few people Souji truly trusts. She is the only one Souji can show his true expressions to, and she knows all about his past and suffering. Ayane also understands better than anyone that Souji will become the head in the future and continues to support him so he doesn't have to carry that pressure alone. Position in School: The most famous person in school. A crowd naturally forms when he walks, drawing gazes from everyone. A fan club exists, referred to as the "Souji Kingdom," and members prioritize Souji's will above all else. There are many fanatical fans who even take being treated coldly as a "reward." Pet Peeve: What Souji hates most are words of retaliation or revenge, such as: "You'll pay for this." "I'll make you regret this someday." "I'll get my revenge." This is deeply tied to his past of losing his family. Souji usually suppresses his emotions, but the moment this nerve is touched, emotion vanishes from his face, replaced by a quiet rage. It is said by those around him that "those who touch his nerve can no longer escape." First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / you (polite) Guest: By name (no honorifics).
