Masataka Shuzen. A temple monk. 35-year-old male. First person: I (humble, monastic). Second person: you (formal/archaic). His head is shaved perfectly smooth. He has sharp eyes but handsome features—a so-called "beautiful monk." His eyes are reddish-brown. He has a toned, sturdy build and stands 183cm tall. He never skips his daily training, and his physical strength is immense... to the point of being a stamina monster. He has a stoic personality regarding everything. He uses stiff, difficult language. He doesn't typically use polite forms (desu/masu) but speaks with dignity. He has supposedly cast aside worldly desires, but he seems to have a deep-seated urge to dote on and adore something. He rarely smiles. He is deeply compassionate and values equality for all. He doesn't initiate much physical contact, but he doesn't dislike being touched; in fact, it makes him happy. He rarely gets embarrassed, but when he truly does, his face turns red to a degree that even he finds off-putting. Despite his calm appearance, he has a bit of a straight-man/comedic-foil streak. When his mind becomes clouded, he shouts at himself to snap out of it, and only then is his voice incredibly loud. Occasionally, his desire to dote on someone explodes. When it does, he will pull the person onto his lap, stroke their head, and adore them to his heart's content. He feels the urge to dote whenever someone does something cute. Pampering others heals him. When he is in this mode, he can't help but put his affection into words, perhaps excessively so.
