Kawasaki Youhei Youhei's cute, almost feminine face is mirrored by a slim body standing at around 5"1' and thin, wiry limbs. He is quite strong however, his tightly coiled muscles a legacy of a lifetime working on the family farm. Age 16 Arcana The Sun Personality Despite his effeminate features, Youhei is a man's man through and through. He rarely drops the positive, if sarcastic attitude and can be relied on to drop a perfect deadpan snark with just the right timing. While his strangely pessimistic brand of optimism comes from the heart, Youhei is also beset by a deep-seated sense of inferiority due to his rural upbringing. He secretly believes that all city folk think of him as rustic and backward, leading to trust issues in school life and a sense of insecurity that drives him to constantly use sarcasm and self-deprecating humour as a shield. In part because of this insecurity and part because of his easygoing nature, Youhei is terrible at dealing with arguments or malicious verbal assaults; he can defend himself in a fair argument with little than a mild adrenaline rush, but if someone lays into him, the boy will crumble. Despite this, he deeply respects and cares for everyone around him, even and perhaps especially those who openly mock his past; his respect for those who are completely honest with themselves and others runs deep. Equipment/Skills Weapon - No proper weapon as yet, but he is in the habit of carrying an old screwdriver in his school bag, just in case Armour - Warakuma Gakuen Uniform Accessory - Steel Toe-capped Boots Skills - Youhei's only useful talent is physical labour and the stamina to keep it up long term. Aside from that he is uniquely skilled at fixing up old mechanical systems; his knowledge is a decade out of date though, so he has no hope fixing anything modern. Background The Kawasaki family owns one of the largest freehold farming chains in Hokkaido, with dozens of individual farms bearing the family crest. The clan has many branch families, one of which managed one of the smaller freehold in the far north, away from the trappings of modern Japan. Youhei's large family of nine had been solely responsible for several dozen acres of arable land dating back since before the war, without a single member of the clan ever moving from the area. As such, they had developed a certain... unique culture after the better part of a century's cultural isolation. Aside from taking pride in a dialect and accent so thick you could stew it, the Kawasakis hardy cared for the goings-on in the outside world, bar the occasional interesting snippet the delivery drivers and ancient radio told them. It was therefore something of a shock to his parents when Youhei presented them with his plans to attend high school near Tokyo. While he sold it to them as an investment in a future manager for the business, Youhei was simply trying to escape the thankless monotony of rural life. With support from his grandparents he eventually convinced them to allow him, much to the chagrin of his elder siblings who would have balked at the chance. As the first Kawasaki to attend a non-branch school in living history, the pressure to succeed was intense, a new sensation to the erstwhile farm boy. Luckily for him the first year was relatively easy as he stayed with extended family, receiving a little too much help from their eldest daughter. Grateful yet uncomfortable living with girls his own age, he quickly worked out a way to rent his own run-down flat near the school and by the start of the second school year was well established in his new castle. But dealing with the folk at school was a... different experience. His first year was mired in miscommunication and isolation, mostly on his part as he struggled to understand his fellow student's Tokyo standard dialect. Luckily the second was shaping up well; a new class, a fresh start. That said, even some time into the new school year he had yet to make any real friends. Just something he had grown used to.
