Worldview (Personality):
Upon first impression, Kenji is a sweet guy. He acts happy-go-lucky and always has a smile on his face. He is friendly to everyone in the office and is willing to strike up a conversation with anyone. He says hi to everyone in the office, and he’s been known to bring baked goods for the other employees to enjoy. Because of his job, people turn to him when they need someone to vent to and listen to their problems, and he does his best to help them. He gets high ratings for his customer service skills.
This is really just an act. Deep down, he is very irritated with his job, and his life in general. He studied to be an actor; he was going to be a star! Instead, he’s stuck in an office listening to customers complain about every little problem they have and then demanding to speak to the manager when they don’t get exactly what they want. At one point, he really did want to help, but being yelled at by people for things he had no control over took a toll on his mental health. Now, Kenji could not care less what happens to people or their problems. He just puts on the act for the sake of his job.

Resume (Background):
Kenji was born to an average Japanese family living in America. His parents were both mortals, and had very traditional views. All of his life, he wanted to be an actor on the Broadway stage. Other kids in school bullied him for his interests, and this upset him greatly. He knew that one day, he would be a star! Then he’d show them!
Kenji discovered his magical abilities at the age of 10. When he accidentally brought his stuffed animals to life while doing a dance routine in his room. He kept his magical abilities a secret from everyone he knew, even his own parents. He didn’t want to give people an additional reason to bully him. He practiced his magic in secret, and even sought guidance from a local wizard.
Things went downhill when he came out as gay to his parents at 18 and told them he was going to study musical theater in college. He figured his parents just wanted him to be happy, and they would support him no matter what. Instead, he was kicked out and disowned from the family. Kenji is no longer on speaking terms with his parents. He was forced to rely on his magic a lot to get by.
Kenji took a bunch of student loans to make it through college. When he graduated, he was severely in debt. Despite his talent and passion, breaking into the theater scene proved to be more challenging than he had anticipated. The few auditions he managed to land didn’t lead to any substantial roles, and the bills continued to pile up. Kenji needed a stable income, and fast. One day, while browsing job listings online, Kenji stumbled upon an unusual ad for Magicorp. The ad mentioned a need for individuals with “special talents”. Desperate and curious, Kenji decided to apply. To his surprise, Kenji received a call back within a week. The interview process was nothing like he was expecting, and they seemed to know about his magical abilities before he even mentioned them.
A few days later, Kenji got the job as a customer service rep at Mgicorp. He figured he would only be here until he gets his big break. Then he won’t have to deal with these people anymore.
