Igarashi Renzo
“Ah, don' worry 'bout this, its just a lil' scratch. 's still nice to meetcha though! The names Renzo, but you can jus' call me Ren!”Overview
NameIgarashi Renzo
Age15 5/1/2003
GenderMale
OrientationStraight
Social ClassHe is currently living with his sister, who is very lower middle class. Up until the last few days though, he was living in possible the most rural area imaginable, placing him and his parents firmly in the lower class.
Defining HobbyWell, Renzo actually has a few hobbies... The best for this specific question though would probably be cooking. He loves experimenting with recipes and flavours, and is particularly fond of cooking for other people.
OccupationNope. He just moved to the area after all. He'll probably end up looking before long though.
Characterization
Physical DescriptionKinda fat, but years of farm work has allowed him to remain fairly muscular at the same time. Honestly, if his eating habits weren’t so bad, he’d probably be considered ripped. At just over 180 centimetres, he is quite a bit taller than any fifteen year old outside of an anime has any right to be, and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Despite his size, he is also surprisingly agile, earning him the affectionate nickname ‘Acrofat’.
Personality TraitsThe very image of 'optimistic country bumpkin', Ren is… well, an idiot, but a loveable one. It’s arguable if he even has an attention span, and it’s affected his academic performance to a massive degree. The fact that his school was so far out in the country that it only had one teacher and six other students didn’t quite help. However, this is balanced out by a level of optimism that most would consider impossible. He is very excitable, often running up to complete strangers and loudly introducing himself. However, he isn’t really very good at it, as although he never means to upset anyone, he can be very blunt in his naïve optimism due to limited experience with actual new people.
He also really likes anime, being one of the few things that can keep him sitting still for extended amounts of time. However, this has had the unfortunate effect of turning him in the dreaded lifeform known as a chuunibyo, and he will often find himself going from his ‘normal’ excited optimism to chewing the scenery, making inappropriately dramatic speeches over the most mundane things.
Likes & DislikesLikes: Food, cooking, anime, the great outdoors, meeting new people and making friends, martial arts.
Dislikes: Upsetting people, maths, sitting still for too long, people who waste food.
Home LifeRenzo has just moved in with his sister, Igarashi Mari, who moved to Kurosuoba to try and escape the really rural life. She is now an office worker, working nine to five for the small local newspaper. She and Ren share a fairly good relationship, largely due to the fact that he now cooks a majority of the meals again. She can be a little protective of him though, worrying about how her idiot little brother will adapt to an urban lifestyle.
Personal MotivationSimple. Make some friends, make some memories, and maybe even learn something at the school itself! As for goals, well, a big part of why his parents had him move to the city was so he could experience urban life. That way, he could choose if he wanted to return to his home town and live as a farmer, or remain in the city and carve out a life there. So in the end, his main goal is to figure out which world he wants to live the rest of his life in.
Miscellaneous
RelationshipsWell, nothing yet...
Belongings & InventoryAn old iPhone 4, which scares and confuses him to no end, some house keys, usually some volume of manga or another. That's pretty much it, really...
