Name: Kenji Watanabe
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Drawn Number: 4
Backstory: Kenji was born to an abusive family on a cold November night. Upon his birth, there was rarely a time when a mark or bruise did not litter his form, covering it like smudges on glass. His father, Kei Watanabe, was especially hard on him, and did everything in his power to keep his son ahead of the rest. His childhood was not spent outside with friends, instead filled with index cards and calligraphy. Kenji was forced to pour hours a day, every day, hunched over textbooks and worksheets, at his parents constant nagging. This continued for the rest of his life.
At the age of 8, his parents bought him a piano. After 2 years and thousands of hours, they bought him a book on law. Then they bought another. And another. And another.
Kei had high hopes for his child. Kei himself was a doctor, a neurosurgeon to be precise, and he would never settle for his son being anything less than the best. The more he pushed, however, the more Kenji realized how bizarre his family was. His father had the final say in everything, and, unlike the other children in his class, was never allowed to play outside or make friends. He couldn't remember the last time his mother spoke. Luckily, the practice of law was the new dominating factor in his life. All other studies he had took a back seat, and creative pursuits that his father planned for him ceased. Nothing was as important as the law he was forced to learn.
At the age of 14, the beatings stopped. His father, now 52, did not feel safe beating the young man Kenji had become. As a result, Kenji slowly gained more leniency from his parents, as they offered him more personal time in exchange for a favor: They decided his future. Kenji already knew that they decided his future either way, so he took the deal. Every minute of free time he had as spent outside, helping those who could not help themselves. Kenji saw himself in those individuals, and he sought to do everything in his power to protect those less fortunate. Whether it was volunteering at the local soup kitchen, to helping people around his middle school, he accepted any task that was given to him. It was at the age of 15 when he decided to compromise with his parents, and instead of being the hero he dreamed to be, he began to aspire to be a defense attorney.
Upon entering Issei High, an exceptionally advanced school, Kenji immediately decided to run for Student Council President. Even if it wasn't at the behest of his parents, Kenji would have done so anyways; the ability to change the entire school for the better was all to enticing for him. Unfortunately, his poor people skills, fueled by an entire childhood away from other children, led to him being easily defeated by another candidate by a landslide. Instead of becoming president, he successfully managed to win the election to become vice-president, and retained that position for the rest of his life.
With club activities devouring whatever free time he had left, Kenji spent the rest of his time at home, rereading the same books, over and over, until he could recite entire laws by memory. He had memorized the entire Japanese constitution, and could repeat it as easily as he could tie his shoes. With the little free time he had left, Kenji spent it helping the neediest people he could, mainly a foreigner by the name of Ted Wilkins. Ted could barely piece together a sentence in Japanese, but he knew "Thank you" perfectly. Every time Kenji heard Ted say it, his spine tingled and he could barely hide his joy. The feeling of helping another person had become addicting.
Life continued like this, a constant fluxuation between grueling work and helping those who needed it. Life remained like this for the next year. The rest of his life.
Personality: Kenji has a kind, compassionate personality, which holds a sharp contrast with his upbringing and life style. He sees his second life as a chance to actually live his life the way he wants, and believes that it is to be used to help others. Believing that everything had a purpose, Kenji does his best to give everyone he meets good will. As he grew up, he became incredibly inexperienced socially, making it hard for him to pick up social cues and tones of voice. This, coupled with his somewhat sharp and serious facial structure and expressions, resulted in a fear of social interactions. In order to compensate, Kenji adopted an over the top alter ego, which he believes to be his "hero form", which was inspired by the one time his parents allowed him to watch an episode of Kamen Rider.
Despite his kindness, however, Kenji holds a deep hatred towards those who use violence as their primary solution, and will do everything in his power to stop anyone from using this method at the first opportunity. Kenji would do anything in order to help another and avoid conflict, going as far as to lie and cheat in order to keep a promise to someone. It would take the death of someone extremely close to Kenji for him to even think of killing. And even then, it is unlikely he would do so. Following his belief that his second life was a gift, Kenji would do nearly anything for someone if they could convince them that they were responsible for his rebirth, even if that meant killing someone. Kenji, despite his above average intelligence, has a tendency to rush things if it means it will save someone.
Likes: Being relied on, helping the less fortunate, anything mental, and living his life in the moment.
Dislikes: People forcing him to do things, hurting others, disobeying the rules, and not being able to do anything.
