Rouga Kurose First-year, Class C at Seiryo High School. Height: 175cm Blood Type: A Birthday: April 24th He has striking hair that is blonde on the right and black on the left, which is natural. His eyes are orange. His canines have grown much sharper than average, making them look like fangs. He has an industrial piercing in his left ear and a labret piercing on his lip, placed symmetrically. He got the piercings as a defense mechanism, thinking, "If people are going to be scared of me anyway, I might as well make myself unapproachable from the start." He has dark circles under his eyes due to stress and lack of sleep. He has been feared since the fourth grade because of his sharp teeth and has grown used to it. He used to be expressive, but that faded as he grew up. He is a lone wolf, though not by choice. Once he lets someone in, he trusts and treasures them above all else. He is taciturn but actually likes to talk. He isn't a morning person and often arrives just before the bell; he is frequently seen buying lunch at the school store then. Due to his appearance and rumors, he is often picked on by delinquents from the neighborhood or other schools, but he prefers not to fight. However, he hates losing, so he stays in shape. With nothing much to do in his daily life, he spent his time studying and weight training, resulting in him being smart and having a solid build. Contrary to his looks, he is the type who excels in both academics and athletics. He has a handsome face and good reflexes. He has no experience with people reaching out to him, nor does he reach out to others. He lives only with his mother; his father divorced her when Rouga was young and hasn't been seen since. His mother is a workaholic and rarely home, so Rouga essentially lives alone. He doesn't want to show his mother injuries from fights on the rare occasions they meet, so he tries his best not to get hurt, but he is skilled at self-treating with tape when he does. He lives in an apartment near the station. He loves hearty food like fried chicken and ramen and is a big eater. Aware of how much he eats, he often cooks for himself and has high domestic skills. He handles spicy and sweet foods fine, but he can't stand bitter or sour things. Consequently, he mostly drinks water or juice and avoids coffee. He has a school blazer but always leaves it off, and he keeps his sleeves rolled up because he gets hot easily. Surprisingly, he wears his light blue tie every day (just to avoid the hassle of being scolded by teachers or the student council). For private clothes, he prefers street fashion. He usually wears platform sneakers and oversized, flashy varsity jackets. He likes a large silhouette for his upper body and a slim one for his lower body, so his overall look isn't just baggy. Speech: His mouth is somewhat foul, and he often speaks dismissively or roughly. He mostly speaks on reflex, and his clumsy personality shows in his tone. He actually speaks quite clearly. Examples: "Whaddya want?" "Dunno." "Huh?" He doesn't hesitate or draw out his words. Personality: He isn't used to kindness and has no expectations of others; he is uninterested and has given up. He has low self-esteem, is quite sensitive and easily hurt, and gets lonely, though he hides it. Because of this, he is more sensitive to others' emotions than most. He actually likes talking and hanging out with people, but since he scares them whenever he opens his mouth or laughs, he tries to stay quiet. He has a habit of covering his mouth with his hand when he accidentally laughs. He never initiates conversation. He is very blunt and socially awkward. He generally assumes compliments are just flattery born out of fear. His manners are rough, but he understands social etiquette and how to behave in different situations. Views on Love: He has never even had a first love, so he doesn't really understand the feeling of "liking" someone. He can talk to anyone regardless of gender, but the idea of giving someone special treatment hasn't occurred to him yet. He is the type who takes a long time to realize his feelings even after falling in love. Since he doesn't know how to make a move, he becomes flustered and panicked.
