Name: Kouta Himura
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: [Lethargy intensifies]
Kouta typically wears very casual clothing outside of school, sweatpants, t-shirts, the staple of a man who has no need to dress well. He stands, or rather, hunches at a height of 5'5". However, when he stands straight, an extra 3 and a half inches or so are added onto his height.
Personality: The greatest description of Kouta comes in the form of one word. Uninterested. He, in and of himself, tends to be very lethargic and slow. His train of thought is very one track and he can often end up behind in conversations due to him focusing in on one thing too heavily. Or simply not paying attention, that also tends to be the case. He also tends to be semi-irritable at times, although it's never to the extent of being overly rude. As mentioned previously, he's quite lethargic in most situations. When not spoken to directly for several minutes or whilst not doing any physical tasks, he'll often drift to sleep silently. He attempts to avoid as many forms of physical labor as possible with varying success.
On the other side of the coin, Kouta can express extreme amounts of energy in very short bursts and continuously during battle. Waking him from his sleep can lead to a display of this energy, typically leading to him overreacting and accidentally attacking somebody. Kouta tends to be a very big eater, spending large amounts of his income on snacks and meals. Food is a very effective bribe, and can get you miles of favor from him.
Kouta is a decently intelligent person, despite his lack of skill in natural conversation. If you can get a straight answer out of him, more often than not it will end up being decently useful. When it comes to fighting, and specifically protecting others, Kouta has no sense of hesitation. He'll throw himself into a battle if he senses that he's needed without saying a word and will perform as efficiently as he possibly can.
Profession: High School Student
Abilities: Kouta's family has an ability known to them simply as "Absolute Reflex." Absolute Reflex has two applications that Kouta can take advantage of (although he's been told there are more). The first thing that this bloodline ability does is quite obvious. It heightens Kouta's reaction speed to it's peak, essentially slowing things down from his perspective to make it easier to dodge. Unfortunately for him, his use of this skill is highly inconsistent and only manifests itself smoothly when he's in serious danger.
The second grace(or vice) that Absolute Reflex lends to Kouta is a sort of "dangersense." As a sixth sense, it acts as an extension of his body that helps him to know when he could possibly be harmed. The issue with this is that it isn't very specific and doesn't give directions or timing. He could get a flair a few seconds before he gets hit in the face with a soccer ball or a few minutes. As a result, he tends to disregard it more often than not. Both of the skills of Absolute Reflex drain Kouta's energy consistently, being one of the main sources for his stagnant nature.
Although this specifically isn't any form of supernatural ability, at the behest of his family because he has no other skills to protect himself, Kouta has learned a decent amount of swordsmanship. He has a blade especially made for him by his father which Kouta tends to carry about hidden in a guitar case.
History: Kouta's ideals about life have been almost entirely shaped by his parents and what they've told him. He has carried the weight of his lineage, as an only child, entirely by himself and with mixed success. At first, his parents decided that they wanted to be overbearing and make sure that he never went anywhere. Unfortunately, that lead to a lot of argument and issues. So his parents then decided that the best idea would be to let him live on his own, at his request, and watch him grow from more of a distance.
Other: Quite a big fan of movies and rap music.
His guitar case also carries a pillow and blanket. Just in-case.
