Persona - The True Self

Warakuma High School - 20/7/2015 - Monday

As he waited for the strangely shy girl to give her answer, Katsuro couldn't help but notice several people give him odd looks as he waved the money around, but didn't give them a second thought. He still had his scars and the damaged eye, people often stared when they didn't think he was looking. For goodness sake, it was just some burns and a damaged eye, everyone would look like that with a bit of fire involved! That said, where they looking at the money? Did they want to tutor him? Well that would be stupid, he probably got a lot more than they did, even with the...five.

He shuddered slightly as he turned back to Kotori, only to react with shock and then irritation when she began to stutter, then look at the ground as she played with the hem of her skirt. Katsuro noticed all of this, and raised his eyebrow in confusion at the strange mannerisms. Finally, she spoke, stuttering in a way that made it quite difficult for Katsuro to hear her over the noise in the background of the room. From what he could hear, she muttered something about how her score wasn't anything special, and how she didn't really know how to teach someone. At hearing this, Katsuro's eye narrowed ever so slightly.

"I see..." he said quietly, a moment of silence passing between the two as the people around them continued to to move around and make a horrible noise. People still had their eyes on them. Hadn't they seen enough? What was so interesting about a boy with an eyepatch waving a pile of yen in someone's face?

"You may not have tutored before, but i need to know what you did in order to get such a good score! Its hardly going to be difficult. And fine, ill raise my price to 15000. I don't know how much the average tutor makes, but i'm pretty sure that's quite a lot. Is that enough? Please?" He said in a cheerful voice, completely missing the point of her stuttering and nervousness.

"I hope she doesn't try and go much higher...i only have 20000 yen with me today."

Sorry mate, forgot to put the mention in the post. XD

Persona - The True Self

Warakuma High School - 20/7/2015 - Monday

The corridor was packed with people as Katsuro turned into it, all crowding around the piece of paper on the board that explained their exam results. A small groan escaped his lips as he looked into the crowd, all trying to get to the paper to look at it, scan it for their results, act with joy/dismay as they would, and manage to shove their way out. He couldn't help but smile. This had been his first exam in a while, and it was one of the few things that he looked forward to here. He had heard that being top of a class felt good, and would make you popular.

...the last one was unlikely, but he still felt a tinge of excitement as he joined the group around the board, followed by a tinge of irritation. Why couldn't these people come later, when it wasn't so crowded?. Why did they feel the need to come right n..oh. Right. Katsuro shook his head as he managed to get close, with someone knocking into him and almost making him fall over. He swore under his breath before finally managing to stand up straight and look at the sheet.

His eyes moved down the page, passing various people he didn't care about, with several scores proving themselves to be fairly high. Hell, even a few 99's, with one of them being in his class! It turns out the people here got a better education that he...

95.

...thought.

There was a moment of silence on his part for a moment, ignoring the people around him, his eyes fixed on that little five on the page. Two lines, and a single curved one, almost like it was a mocking smile aimed at him. Albeit a sideways one, all joined together to make a little number that reduced him to utter silence, even in his own mind.

"..WHAT?!?!?"

He read it again, and again, and again. The five did not change. He missed five points??!?!? Five fucking points? That was five times as much as he allowed himself to get wrong! What the hell was going on? And how the hell (or whatever that other place was) did some people get more than him?

He didn't know what to do. He had never been beaten in academic score. Granted, this was the first time he had ever competed, but he had worked almost constantly, apart from that little trip to fuck-knows-where! Instantly, he began to think. Hopefully this was a spelling error, but what if it wasn't? How could his standards have slipped by so much? He didn't have access to any of his tutors, he had already studied a lot, what was he supposed to do? Was he becoming stupid?

Suddenly, he stopped and looked up, noticing someone leave. He barely knew anyone here, and was even worse at linking names to faces, but he recognized this one. Kotori. Someone in his class. Shy, but evidently knew something he didnt if she had got higher than him!

He pushed his way out, walking quickly towards her. "Excuse me!" He asked, trying to control his rage at the score and surprisingly succeeding. He caught up to her, caught his breath, and spoke.

"Excuse me, you are Kotori, aren't you? I dont know if you know me, but im Katsuro Takuma. I'm in your class. I'm sorry to bother you, but i wanted to ask something..."

He took a deep breath.

"I noticed your...excellent score in the test." He said, managing to get the "Excellent score" through his teeth. "You evidently have some excellent study methods, so i was wondering..."

He pulled a wallet from his pocket and pulled out a pile of yen notes.
"Could you give me some private tutoring lessons? I would like to know how to study as well as you as well as get better at subjects in general." He waved the wad of notes.

"How does 10,000 yen per lesson sound?"

That soon? Nice!

New Voyage of the Beyond

Simon

Name: Simon Roniel
Age: 19
Height: 5'8
Weight: 120 pounds
Eye color: A greenish blue colour, not unlike that of the sea.
Hair color: Blond

Appearance:



Powers: Assimilation- Simon is capable of "reading" objects, and is able to reform them using rapidly reproducing cells to create objects (usually weapons) inside or outside whenever he needs them. Said cells also create a power source for said objects if needed. This allows him to have rudimentary weaponry and armor whenever he needs to. However, he is unable to "Read" something unless he has a fairly decent knowledge of how it works in the first place, meaning a great deal of time needs to be spent for him trying to take things apart and figure out how they work.

However, he cannot produce more than 3/4 of his own body weight in materiel without causing extreme fatigue, and the bigger the object, the more difficult (and painful), it would be to copy it. Although he is capable of reading as many things as he likes, he can only reform them if he actually remembers exactly how they work, meaning its quite common for him to forget with the many things he has "read" over the years.

Bio: Simon does not talk about his past, and most people have learned not to ask. His parents both died when he was eight and he was forced to fend for himself for several years, developing and learning about his powers during this time. His parent's deaths gave him a new view on the world, believing that no one could be relied on, bar number one. Despite hanging around many other people, including scavengers and other...less than reputable tribes, he would never feel anything for them, often simply leaving in the middle of the night when he got bored. This attitude did not go well with some people, leading to confrontations with some...less than pleasant characters. When arguements turned into fights, Simon found he enjoyed using his abilities to kill people. He planned to go on a one-man crusade against several vicious tribes, but then he found the Obsidian tribe, and, for some reason, felt compelled to stay.

Personality: Simon seems to act slightly awkward, but cheerful and upbeat.
In reality he has a cold, almost cynical approach towards anything and believes any attempt to do good will end in failure. He still finds people attempting to change that to be admirable, which is why he has stayed in the tribe for so long. He finds it incredibly difficult to genuinely care for people, although this has slowly become to change. Although he still isn't sure how he feels about them, he will protect the tribe by any means necessary, usually killing any aggressors with visible glee. Although he is very intelligent, he prefers to take the simple (often violent) option and will speak out against anyone who disagrees, despite being capable of thinking things over. He just doesn't want to. He can hide these inner thoughts quite well, although they can slip out in stressful situations.

Sexual Orientation: Isn't...entirely sure. He is attracted to women, but isn't entirely clear about his feelings towards men.

Position in tribe: Guard
