Moniker:
Nao
Sexuality:
Male
Countenance:
178 cm in height, Nao is slightly above average in terms of height but lacks the muscle to capitalize on his growth. He appears to be in his late teens and seems relatively frail in stature, a testament to his lack of any real exercise, but his body is nevertheless kept from neglect. Though not to the extent of possessing lean muscle, Nao’s body is kept at a minimal level of fitness due to the physical labor of his workplace (before coming to Alterna), though his physical abilities are still average at best as said work wasn’t particularly demanding.
He keeps his hair long as getting it cut is a wasteful expense and he thus only crops it short every half-year, keeping it in order with simple hair-ties or clips if it obstructs his vision. Its color is of a blackish brown, his eyes similarly a common shade of brown. While he wears glasses due to being a little far-sighted, his vision without them is still manageable, if not inconvenient. He has little body-hair due to his asian heritage and thus may not ever grow a beard, much to his disdain, though this may be another explanation for his preference of longer hair outside of his economic reasoning.
Facade:
Nao is passive by nature. When presented with a choice, he will more often than not elect the role of a follower, whether that be in regards to his parent’s expectations of him or in the presence of peers he perceives to be his superiors. It isn’t that he has no opinions of his own, it is merely that the circumstances of his upbringing have left a mark on his personality, and being told to set aside his preferred career choice at a young age to support the family business no doubt caused him to apply this logic on other aspects of his life, unintentionally planting the idea in him that his own desires aren’t as relevant.
That is to say he isn’t completely self-depreciative or even depressed. All it means is that he is used to ducking his head in the face of opposition and tends to go along with the directive of others, hence explaining his passive nature. For the same reason he is prone to depending on others as opposed to taking action, and will shy away from responsibility if placed upon him. His dependance does imply a certain level of dedication however, meaning that he is quick to help his friends, even if that support is founded on the selfish impulse to protect himself.
He is moderately sociable and wouldn’t have too much trouble talking to strangers, but he can be easily startled when presented with unexpected scenarios. He mostly keeps to himself, but not out of a desire to be alone and merely because he never quite had the chance to open up to others, and thus prefers the presence of his own mind in his free-time. In a word, he can be quiet, but he doesn’t shirk contact and actually quite enjoys spending time with people he trusts, even going so far as to occasionally go the extra mile for random favours. In other words, he is the type to gift presents on a whim to get a laugh out of his friends (such as buying oddly shaped bottles he spots at a novelty store) or offering occasional acts of kindness.
