As I said a rough draft ;) [u]Real name:[/u] Miyazaki Hakaru [u]New World name:[/u] Yakeru [u]Nickname/titles: [/u]None yet [u]Gender:[/u] Male [u]Real world age:[/u] 28 [u]New world age:[/u] 16 [u]Species:[/u] Human [u]Original World:[/u] Used to live and work in Tokyo, Japan [u]Appearance: [/u] When he was still a 'normal human' living in Tokyo he was tall and lean, with short but messy dark hair. Dark brown eyes that always look tired and a friendly smile on his lips. Feeling most comfortable wearing shirts with all kinds of prints, baggy pants and sneakers. In this New world he is a bit shorter, standing at 5'3 with long brown hair in a ponytail, yellow-green eyes and even though the tired look is gone from his gaze, the friendly smile did stay. He wears now a gray blueish tunic, linnen pants with leather shin boots, a red battered and weathered cloak. On his shoulders are steel spaulders, his arms and hands leather gauntlets reinforced with steel, 2 leather belts with pouches on his waist and hard leather shin guards. [u]Personality:[/u] In the old world, he was not as heroic as the character he had created, rather walking away from fights or trying to talk his way out of it. Often careful who to agitate or not to agitate. Though kindhearted and willing to help others was a trait he shared with Yakeru. Being Yakeru in this new world however gave him more confidence and his knowhow of the adventures his character used to be in and the fighting abilities made that he became more brave. Still his carefulness is ever present. [u]Backstory:[/u] He used to a mangaka of a fantasy web/light novel called: 'Yakeru, kanpai!' or 'Cheers Yakeru!' , which was fairly popular and got him some internet fame. It told the tale of sixteen year old Yakeru, mercenary and adventurer whose base of operations is a rundown tavern. Along the way Yakeru meets several people who decide to join him on his adventures. You know. Saving the world, kissing the princess. The works. After years however Hakaru decides to end the tale of Yakeru and starts to focus on another project. Even though fans are pleading, asking, if not demanding to continue, he kindly refuses, believing that 'Yakeru, kanpai!' had a long enough run and that the story was simply told. One day however he gets shot and killed by a disappointed(read: crazy) fan, outside a store after shopping. He wakes up in a world not his own same as the body he is in, instead he looks exactly like the character of his creation: Yakeru. But this was not the world he had created and it was not his story. Confused about what had happened to him, he decides to make the best of the situation and it sure beats dying. Or is he dead? His head filled with questions, yet no one to answer them. [u]Skills/Talents: [/u]Some knowledge of fantasy worlds, races, etc. from his years of writing. Since he arrived in this New World, he got granted the skill of swordsmanship. [u]Powers/Abilities:[/u] Quick/short distance teleport [u]Items:[/u] Simple sword with a dark red hilt, the crossguard shaped to slightly cover his hand on both sides. His armor. Cloak. Whetstone.
