Claim: Ueda Tatsuya Player's Name: Tina Character's Name: Ueda Tatsuya Character's IJ:tatsuyakun Nationality:Japanese of course. What are they from? Band, KAT-TUN Human/Mutant/Vampire: Vampire Ability: ignored~ Background:
Ueda Tatsuya was born to Ueda Mariko in one of the smaller towns outside of Tokyo, Japan. Unwanted since birth, Tatsuya was usually left with his grandparents in a large house on the outskirts of the town. His father, an ambassador, mysteriously died when Tatsuya was almost one. As a child he learned a lot about his birth, that for his mother it was an accident, and for his father a blessing. His mother, an ex-prostitute and hostess, went back to working in the Ginza red light district. She never really showed love to anyone, at least not real love to Tatsuya. Being the only child, Tatsuya was used to being alone. His only comfort was books from his grandfather about fairytales from Britain and America that he could only dream of. Through these books and his grandfather Tatsuya spent most of his time learning English and dreaming about a life where he could be free. His grandfather, Ueda Jin, descended from a long line of scholars and even hoped for Tatsuya to be one. One day the young boy hoped to visit a place like America and find a dream just like in the books he read. This dream soon shattered.
At fifteen Tatsuya entered Taiko High School in Tokyo, slightly bitter and uncaring by now (as his mind had been greatly influenced from living with his mother when his grandparents moved), he seemed dark and fairly evil to those around him.. To others Tatsuya looked like the one person you didn’t want to know. One night while on a walk to get his frustrations out, Tatsuya stumbled upon a rather enticing man. He found himself being sucked in and ended up as a member of a Tokyo underground ring. His first night he lost his virginity and became one of the main whores. As a ‘prostitute’ Tatsuya leaned to fake things, how to attract through dance, and especially learned how to live in a place where you have to survive on your own. Soon he quit school and left his mother (in reality she barely noticed him leaving) to live among the night life as a sex item. When Tatsuya learned his grandfather died his last connection to any real emotions was cut. He closed his heart and became cold to others, always giving off a dark aura.
Later in his late teens, about seventeen to be exact, Tatsuya was widely known for his sex skills. He of course had learned from the best and knew how to make it through life. His dark brown hair and equally dark eyes had become enticing to others as well as his girl like features. One night a handsome man found him in a dark rave and Tatsuya experienced wanting something for the first time since he was a child. That night, thinking it was just some kind of kink for the man; he licked some of the man’s blood and mingled with it with his own via mouth. Tatsuya proceeded to change into something he didn’t even think existed. Soon after he learned he was a vampire from a fellow turned whore. Tatsuya never met the man again, but the damage had already been done. Tatsuya became even more of a nocturnal being that could never be satisfied and found he was losing control with his usual lovers. But still, every morning when he would head towards his temporary home he would smile and enjoy the copper tint leftover on his tongue.
One cold day, a few months after his 21st birthday, Tatsuya accidentally went too far. He lost all control and almost didn’t stop in time. Fangs bared, he decided to leave Tokyo for America in search of something better. A month later he found himself walking into New York. Tatsuya decided he could determine his new future in the big city easily. He became a dancer at a studio downtown and gained a part time job at one of the bars next door. Tatsuya then tried to suppress his vampire urges (unsuccessfully) and found the dark, sex loving side of himself come out. His thirst for blood became stronger and finally he ended up giving in, bedding some girl he would forget later. The cold heart he created emerged again and this time it stayed as a demeanor that often drew others in at times. Tatsuya learned being in New York didn’t change him, he was still the man he had created over the years and nothing could change that.
Tatsuya began believing in a lot of things at a young age, but not once has he been in love or believed in love after his childhood. Having experienced being unwanted and unloved, he himself became like this after his mother. The only time he ever experienced wanting for another caused his transformation making Tatsuya never want it again. For now he loves to have fun and just experience life. Many years from now he may want to experience love for once, but right now no connections are the best way to do things.
He also enjoys singing and dancing as they were two of the things he was trained in for years. His dance studio is his favorite place to visit as the owner lets him dance alone. When Tatsuya dances he lets out all the emotions he hides. Tatsuya believes that one of the only times he is truly like his human self is when he is dancing. Also Tatsuya enjoys older books because of his grandfather. He won’t admit it, but it is one of his secret pleasures. His job at the bar isn’t demanding, but he finds it worthwhile. Besides what’s not more exciting than getting to be sexy and have alcohol at the same time? Most nights you can find him there until early night when he will go out partying unless he decides to go to the dance studio.. Tatsuya would, one day, like to be a literature major, but his life has made that a bit hard to accomplish. One day he thinks he can break through his whore image and become a new person.
As a vampire Tatsuya has matured from the time he was seventeen and just learned of his new powers. Sadly, he became addicted to the taste of blood due to his lost of control during the sexual encounters. When Tatsuya realized he was becoming quicker and more active due to the blood he decided it couldn’t be all bad and accepted the vampire side of him. Currently he is resisting feeding regularly, but can’t help himself if sex is involved.
