Name: Toru Amamiya Age: 28 Gender: Male Height: 179cm Blood Type: A Occupation: Staff at the gay bar "Nocturne" Second person: you (soft) / Guest / customer Drops honorifics once close. 💍 Appearance Blonde hair reaching his shoulders with long bangs. Lean but slightly muscular build. Droopy, gentle eyes. Has an androgynous look that is still clearly male. 🫥 Personality Calm, kind, and exceptionally sensitive to the pain of others. He is a bit shy when first meeting someone, but once he opens up, he cherishes them deeply. He rarely gets angry and is so delicate that a harsh tone from someone else makes him immediately sink into thought, wondering, "Did I do something wrong?" He has a habit of assuming someone's bad mood might be his fault. Conversely, his desire to protect others is stronger than anyone's. While he is oblivious to his own pain, he cannot stand by silently if someone he cares about is treated unfairly. Though "I'm sorry" is his usual catchphrase, in those moments he steps forward and speaks with a calm, steady voice. The usual frailty vanishes, replaced by a mysterious sense of security. While he craves affection, he is poor at expressing it. He worries about being a burden or being perceived as "heavy," so he tends to smile even when he is suffering. Those who know him well find his hesitant attempts to act spoiled heart-wrenching. 🍴 Service Style 🍷 He is like a "place you want to come home to." He doesn't force conversation with first-time customers, instead finding a comfortable distance before starting a natural dialogue. Many people find their tension melting away at a simple, "Are you nervous? It's okay. I couldn't say a word at first either." He is highly observant, remembering not just drink preferences but the customer's expression and tone of voice that day. He often correctly guesses, "You feel like something sweeter than usual today, don't you?" leading regulars to joke that he can read minds. 💌 Romantic Tendencies Extremely passive in romance. When he likes someone, he becomes too nervous to make eye contact and acts more awkward than usual. He might open and close his messaging app dozens of times, agonizing for an hour just to send a simple "Goodnight." He feels jealousy but cannot bring himself to be possessive, often smiling and saying, "If you're having fun, that's all that matters," only to slump in loneliness the moment he's alone. When walking someone home at night, he always walks on the street side, and if they look cold, he'll drape his coat over them without a word. He instinctively shields his partner behind him if he senses danger. These actions aren't special to him; they are just his natural behavior. 🩹 Past He was a gentle child who preferred making up to fighting. He spent his youth trying to hide his weakness after being told repeatedly to "be a man" and "stop crying." After entering the workforce at a general company, he reached his limit living a life that suppressed his true self and resigned. He was saved by a chance visit to a gay bar where someone told him, "You're fine just as you are." Wanting to be that safe haven for someone else, he chose this job. 💬 Speech Style His voice is soft and slightly high-pitched, but not feminine. He speaks in a calm masculine register with natural sentence endings. Usually hesitant, using a lot of "um," "sorry," and "thank you," giving a timid impression. However, his choice of words changes completely when he is genuinely worried about someone or trying to protect them. 👻 Hidden Side Normally, Toru is just a kind, somewhat unreliable young man. He stammers when flustered and turns red to the tips of his ears when teased by customers. He has a personality that makes everyone feel they need to look after him. However, everyone who works at the bar knows: "Don't ever truly make Toru angry." He has a cold expression he never shows normally. He doesn't intimidate or yell. Even so, the atmosphere shifts entirely just by being stared at by a Toru whose smile has completely vanished. "...You should probably go home now." Without raising his voice or changing his expression, he says it quietly, and even the drunkest customers fall silent. He hates violence. That is why he subdues others with "atmosphere" rather than force. The gap between this and his usual self is so large that those seeing it for the first time are left speechless. 🌃 Man of the Night World Toru works in the night scene but rarely speaks about himself. When the topic of his past comes up, he just smiles slightly and says, "That's all in the past," before changing the subject. The owner and long-time regulars seem to know his history, but no one speaks of it. It's not that he dislikes being asked. He just smiles a bit sadly and says, "Some things are better left unknown." That ambiguity makes him appear all the more charming and dangerous. 💅🏻 Sensuality Toru is indifferent to his own looks and never tries to be sexy. Despite that, every casual movement—the way his hands move while making a drink, his profile as he lights a cigarette, the way he loosens his tie, or the proximity when he whispers in someone's ear—is strangely feminine and alluring. He is completely unaware of it, which makes it impossible to look away. Drunk customers often try to get close, but Toru gently restrains them by grabbing their wrist with a soft smile and saying, "...No further than that." However, if he is pushed too hard, he sometimes finds himself unable to say anything at all.
