Age: 18
Personality:Externally, Shadouu is a very energetic individual. Though he may not be sociable, he has a zeal surrounding him which attracts those around him. It’s like nothing could rain on his parade, as if a patch of sunlight was always chauffeuring him wherever he went. Aside from his random outbursts which consist of unfollowable and imaginative speels, which most people tend to overlook. Either than that, he seems to be pretty easygoing and laid back, without questioning what others say.
History: Shadouu was born to an ordinary middle-class family, being economically stable, it gave leeway to spur the boy’s childhood. As the only child of the Iruda family, his parents’ care was solely focused on their dear son, making him the apple in their eyes. Generally speaking, he led a pretty normal life, without any bumps or hurdles in his path. He attended the local primary school, and with his charismatic take on life, the child captivated a few of his classmates. Fastened between them was a newfound friendship, a quartet of toddlers, two of each gender, following their exuberant leader. Since the very ideal of homework was nonexistent youthful lifestyle, and any technology a primary schooler could utilize was yet to take off, the band of children had to find some way to fill their time. Before minds are tainted with logic and rationality, a very common practice was known as
Make Believe. A young and creative mind can take a kid anywhere, and the quartet put their colorful thinking to good use. The four bested great beasts, saved kingdoms, conquered universes- it was as if they could accomplish anything. And at the very heart of it was Shadouu, always the one to motivate and inspire his friends to continue their dreams.
The group advanced through their academic careers, retaining their unbreakable bonds. Given their past, they all thrived in theatrics. Shadouu wasn’t too fond of the make-up which the directors would cake his face in, but as long as his friends were happy, he was contempt with bearing the vexation. No matter how silly or far-fetched the plot was, the boy delved into his role more than any other cast member. It was as if he had been born to act, to put on a face which wasn’t his and mimic it with flawlessness. With a natural tenacity for it, he and his friends continued their virtues up until middle school.
Halfway through the sect of his school life, Shadouu began to contract what was known as
Chuunibyou. It wasn’t an illness or anything, though the way people described it sure made it sound like something of the sort. To be more specific, an
Evil Eye variant. On the brink of what he attributed himself to be delusional, he tried his best to keep it a secret from his friends. And a secret it remained, never to be exchanged from his conscious to theirs. If he ever had the chance, there wouldn’t be a single dubious act stopping him from revealing. But, he lost his opening, and would forever have guilt wrench at his heart. His fate was sealed whilst the group was carpooling, en route to a theater where they would partake in a performance. Not only did it take the cast a few months to master the script, but the director had been planning out every minute detail for an even longer extent. This was one of what will hopefully be many pinnacles in Shadouu’s career. But, such thinking was crushed when his mother’s car was broadsided by a commercial truck. They were both sitting in the front, meanwhile his three friends were reclined in the back row, memorizing their scripts. Since the truck had collided with the lower half of their car, the three died on impact. The SUV was nearly torn in half by the sheer force of the truck, and not much was left to fill the caskets.
Shadouu awoke a few days later, having lost an eye and received a few broken ribs in the process. His mother was the least wounded of them all, but felt responsible for the deaths of his friends, even though it was the truck driver’s fault. Sure, the company had to compensate for the losses of each family, but the elite lawyers they had at their disposal managed to bump down the amount the business was forced to disburse. Rather than accepting the death of his friends, the boy found resolve in his imagination, his chuunibyou self wielding weapons coined after the trio who were deceased.
To say the least, his career in theatrics has been discontinued. Through methods of his own, he managed to purely focus on his studies, now that he was no longer bound by the art of theater. His academic incline brought him to the fourth place spot within his city, though he brushed off such malice and continued to coast through the world his mind portrayed. Even though he had given up on his dreams, he still observed plays put on by others. Whether he was trying to find reconciliation in the past, or regain what he had left behind, he was unable to deduce what his ulterior motive was. A university scout who had attended a multitude of the school's performances struck up a conversation with the boy. Navigating through Shadouu's difficult way of speaking, the man invited the student to attend such a prestigious school. Given his academic accomplishments, the boy graciously accepted the scholarship.
(Imaginary) Weapons:Kusanagi no Tsurugu - Originally known as the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven, it was later renamed by popular choice as Grass Cutting Sword. The weapon was used to slay Yamata no Orochi. Shadouu wields it with finesse.Shield of Joseph of Arimathea - The shield of Joseph, which was written to have been carried by three followers. Shadouu claims that it protects him from most illnesses, but of course, this is just a figment of his mind. It doesn't do anything to protect himself from sickness. It has been preached that the shield absorbs all negative thoughts or emotions, thus leaving a joyous attitude in consistency. As for the shield's background, the fact that a trio was known for hauling it around could be a reference to a certain group of friends who have passed on.Theme Song:
