Applying for a character? We've all done that in our lives. No shame about it. Sometimes, we may apply a character in a public place, which may cause some discomfort, nausea, or dizziness, but with The Form below you can make the process of applying your character simple, fast and fun.

Simply copy the material below, paste it on a comment and fill in the questions accordingly, preferably with your keyboard.

Don't reveal anything that would spoil others for your character's secrets!

BASICS
Name: Akito Terumi
Age: 17
Occupation:Student/Vice Student Council President
Character PB/Icon: Yakumo from Shinrei Taitei Yakumo

BACKGROUND
Character history:

Akito was born to the moderately wealthy Terumi family. The Terumis used to be wealthier but fell onto hard times, only crawling back up to upper-middle class through a lot of creative business decisions, calculations, and luck with plans to go further. Publically, the Terumis are the affectionate, 'perfect' ideal; privately, they're neutral at best.

Growing up in a family like this has 'warped' Akito, to put it lightly. No one really noticed since he was always such a 'good' boy growing up. Amiable, patient, honest, and flexible enough not be a goody-good or robot. Despite the occasional rumor of him being two-faced or how he supposedly set someone up or something a little less than squeaky clean, they're usually without grounds since it never suited the image he usually presented.

Sometime near the start of junior high, Akito suddenly got involved into several extracurricular activities, excelling in almost all of them. Akito had always been the type to score high but he seemed to be pushing himself to hit beyond the highest mark every time. It lasted for about a year but after an incident attributed to stress, he scaled it back to a few choice activities. Notably, he stopped doing drama, which had been something that he always seemed to enjoy and had been one of the club's best members.

What also changed was his relationship with his older brother by four years, Touya. Touya had been as highly intelligent and skilled Akito had been (though a vain playboy) so many people saw Akito's similarities as him taking after his brother, including how they did the same activities. They seemed to get along too, so it wasn't that surprising. However, there was this odd tension between them that could occasionally be felt whenever they were in the same room. Both brothers would smile and say it was for one stupid reason or other which always sounded reasonable but there were those times they couldn't neatly dismiss it. During those times, Akito would smile that ever present smile and politely but bluntly say it was family business and to kindly stay out of it.

For the past few years, Akito's only further perfected his 'mask' and stepford smiler skills. When he entered high school, he added another activity to strive for: school counsel. He was a treasurer in his first year and VP in his second year. Though he has a decent chance of president later, it wouldn't be out of character for Akito to trying hurrying up the process, provided he had the power and opportunity.

Personality:

On the surface, Akito's honest, patient, reliable, kind, and cares about everyone around him. He takes his duties as vice president seriously, the type of person who seems to live for everyone else's happiness. He's always open to offering a willing listening ear. After all, it’s his duty as vice president to listen and help, right?

Unfortunately, that's just his mask. He's a stepford smiler; though the confidence, intelligence, and determination remain the same but inside, Akito's empty and calculating. He doesn't believe any of the bullshit he wraps up in pretty words. Even his 'listening to others' shtick is mostly just a way of gaining influence over people. His mask is a habit from being raised as the ideal son (not that he minds it either, it IS the ideal image after all) but on the rare occasion, his true nature peeks through and that's when you should start to worry. It's not that he dislikes people, he just doesn't particularly like them. They're tools, just like he can be; all that matters is fulfilling your ends.

He can also be petty and nurses grudges forever. He might put up with a lot of abuse but you can bet he's secretly keeping tally in his head for later with every intention of paying it back. The fact he has fantastic memorization skills and a mental 'cabinet' for everyone he knows helps him with that.

He's also a drama geek and actually pretty good at it (surprisingly, considering he pretty much acts all the time) but demurs on having any sort of ability towards it. You can occasionally catch dramatic flairs in his mannerisms and speech, though.

Appearance:

Akito's an attractive pretty boy and he knows it. He tries to exude openness and honesty, and is always ready with a smile. He stands at about 5'10 with an average build. His hair's dark brown, appearing black in some light and brown in others, and on the tostled side. Akito's dress is always almost perfect but he intentionally leaves himself just a bit off to appear more approachable. He honestly couldn't care less about fashion but wears whatever's classy and fashionable because it's all about image.

Akito usually wears his glasses while at school or social events because they tend to make his eyes look softer but switches to contact lens for physical activities and his own free time. Without those, his vision tends to lean towards blind bat but if he can use magic to fix it, he will.

As a note on PB eyes, Akito's eyes are naturally brown so feel free to ignore the red eye ~~or just think of it as symbolism for him being the devil in plain sight~~. The red eye might actually happen, though, becoming something visible only to magic users and it would most likely be a magical byproduct.
