OtreasName: Nakayama Shiki
Appearance:
Age: 16
School Year: Sophmore
Personality: Shiki has an extremely introverted and obsessive personality, with an unhealthy dose of paranoia thrown in for good measure. He rarely talks without a good reason and will go to extreme lengths in order to avoid confrontation - bullying from some of his seniors do not help in this regard. This insecurity was initially caused by trauma in his childhood, which also caused his fear of women.
Without a close circle of friends, Shiki resorted to looking for hobbies that would distract him from the loneliness - at 8 he discovered the world of bodybuilding, and he now pours the vast majority of his free time into pursuing physical perfection. While resting, he enjoys studying the occult and researching conspiracy theories, which was a major factor for him not getting an ALT when he and his father moved to Arekishi.
While very reclusive and scared of interacting with others, Shiki is much more outgoing and expressive when speaking about his narrow interests - he can speak for hours on end about the different meal plans he has been on, the evidence of aliens controlling the Japanese Government, and the symbolic power of lamb blood. He gathers most of his information from online image boards and forums, which is also where he has most of his social interaction - leading to him occasionally speaking in odd portmanteaus or saying completely unrelated and odd phrases in response to certain statements or actions. He gets extremely defensive when pressed about this.
Shiki dreams of growing stronger and wants to be the best version of himself as possible. Whether this is out of immense insecurity and a poor attempt to improve his social life, or a genuine desire to overcome his vast number of fears, is anyones guess.
History: Born to a wealthy family in the heart of Tokyo, Shiki never managed to develop a good reputation with his peers - whether because he snitched on them to teachers or because he was scared of nearly everything, Shiki spent most of his childhood isolated and limited to adults for his social interactions. His teachers were generally supportive but didn't provide a good enough substitute for real social interaction. As a result, Shiki rapidly grew more and more reclusive, to the point where he would have dropped out of middle school if not for his father's constant insistence on the subject. His father supported the family mostly from his dealings as a translator for a Japanese company, while his mother stayed at home.
In his second year of Middle school, Shiki's mother cheated on his father, and their son caught her in the act. This disturbed Shiki to no end and left a deep emotional scar - one that grew into a fear of relationships and women in general. Shiki's father attempted to move on after that, completely leaving cities after winning custody of Shiki - the pair lived in a new home in Akemishi's Hana District, specifically for the education opportunities that it would provide Shiki.
With the advent of the ALT, Shiki's father quickly grew stressed in his attempts to support his son - it was only due to his long history with his company that he wasn't fired outright, and was instead given a position overseas, with only a moderate decrease in pay. Still, this further shook Shiki's expectations for his future, with college becoming uncertain. It was his final year of middle school that had him fully engross himself into his hobbies, where he had once only been obsessive - weightlifting dominated his every waking moment, and the time he spent recovering he researched vague, occultic texts and conspiracy theories online. The latter was done due to boredom and a need for entertainment at first, but Shiki rapidly grew to believe every word he read, leading to a very warped view of the city he lived in, as well as the ALT itself. Shiki never had one installed, in fear of numerous different consequences - ranging from mind control from the government to constant monitoring from some secret organization.
Shiki was lucky his father made sure to teach him English at a young age, as he would struggle greatly to continue living in Akemishi without fluency in the language or an ALT. In his free time researching the occult, he also picked up a basic proficiency in Hebrew and Latin, but not enough to be of any practical use. His lack of ALT made him briefly consider finding and joining The Sounders, but he quickly gave this up since he was afraid they would assault him even if he didn't have an ALT.
Currently, while not a member of any sports clubs, Shiki can usually be found in the school's gymnasium and weight room, and when pressed, usually will help in anything that he is asked to do. Some of his upperclassman in the basketball club use this as a way to bully him into cleaning up for them after practice, or even getting Shiki to buy them food.

Persona: Ulikummi
Persona Lore: Ulikummi is a deaf and blind demigod of Hurrian Mythology. Born to dethrone the weather god Teshub, the stone giant was placed on the shoulder of the world-bearer Upelluri, and rapidly grew to the heavens. Teshub's thunder did little to the demigod, and it was only after seeking help from the god Ea that Teshub managed to stop Ulikummi's growth. The fate of the demigod is unknown.
