"But did we die?"
Name:
Kazuma, Shodo (goes by Kaz)
Age:
16, Dec. 1st
Digivice color(s):
Silver frame || Blue buttons || Purple engravings
Appearance:
Kaz is described as a somewhat average 16-year-old with neck-length silver hair and electric blue eyes. His skin is fair and no paleness, which may indicate he doesn't spend every hour of his time in his room. He has a skinny-lean figure, which also indicates he physically active in some respect but not to the point where he would be considered for sports teams. At a height of 5'8, one can assume he is fairly average and doesn't experience the troubles that a short boy his age would.
Kaz chooses comfort over style most of the time, so one might find him in oversized hoodies, shirts that might be one or two sizes too big, and some kind of shorts or jeans. He's a fan of sneakers, but specifically Vans or Nike. Yeah, just because he looks average doesn't mean he dresses like it. Top shelf for him, please!
Personality:
Kaz is what you would call something of an adrenaline junkie. This doesn't mean he seeks danger but he doesn't run away from it, either. All his life, Kaz has enjoyed the thrill of taking risks, never knowing if they paid off or not. He likes the feeling deep in the pit of his gut he always seems to get when he's so close to failing or when he does fail, he knows what not to do next. If taunted or dared to do close to anything, he'll never back down no matter how stupid it is, but that doesn't mean Shodo Kazuma himself is stupid or unintelligent, it just means that he, for a short time, he suspends that part of his brain that might tell him what is or isn't wise to do for the sake of his physical well-being.
As a person and how approachable he is, Kaz is somewhere between intimidating and friendly. He can make friends easily cause he seems to have this aura about him that allows for people to feel his warmth, but there have been times where his impulsive behavior and love for danger may have alienated his old friends from him. It bothers him, but he'd never let anyone close to him know that. At the very least, around Kaz, you have a lot of fun.
Backstory:
Shodo Kazuma was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. His parents, for all intents and purposes, were pretty normal and didn't possess any extraordinary traits or jobs. His father is a car salesman while his mother is a nurse. The only exceptional thing that one could say about Kaz's upbringing was how it was mainly him on his own for the majority of his life. His neighbor, who was roughly four years older than him, babysat him for the majority of his late childhood and well into teenhood. By the time she went to college, Kaz was old enough to take care of himself.
And that's exactly what he did, but at some point in his life, he had developed the habit of breaking rules: curphew, the law - basically anything he could do to get that thrill. It wasn't even about the abandonment he faced at the hands of his parents due to their busy jobs (okay maybe a part of it was). He just always enjoyed the thrill, but then about a year ago, he discovered online gaming. His parents weren't too thrilled about it, but they figured better he cause trouble in a fictional world than in the real one, so they let him play his games.
It started out with the usual mmorpgs, but it wasn't until Digimon: Tamer World came out did he find his calling. His parents didn't know about it. Every time he left the house, he always said he was meeting friends, but little did they know, he was out and about. This augmented reality game took him places he didn't think he'd go. First, it was around his neighborhood -going to the park, some back alleyways, but then he went back to old habits. Eventually, Kaz was back to traspassing on private property, ignoring the "do not enter" signs of abandoned warehouses.
Within the last month, however, the rumors of Digimon appearing in the real world starting circulating. Kaz figured it was some 4chan conspiracy nuts or Redditors just wanting some insta-karma, but the idea made him smile. He wasn't one of those wackos that dug ultra-deep into conspiracy theories, but with all of the free time he had to spare, Kaz couldn't pass up the chance for an adventure in finding out if these rumors were real or not. If they were, then he'd get a bitchin' digimon partner for real! And they weren't real, he'd still have fun.
It was a win-win for him!
