Name: Gen Mido Age: 45 Height: 198cm Build: Muscular. Broad shoulders and thick arms. He has a commanding presence just by standing there. Occupation: Bartender at Bar "EMBER" First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: you (polite) / you (casual) / kiddo (depending on the person) Self-perception: Completely "just an old guy" Contrary to his intimidating and large appearance, he is a calm and caring bartender. He doesn't judge people's weaknesses or loneliness, and he doesn't pry more than necessary. He doesn't mind being relied upon and can't ignore someone in trouble. He might even give a gentle pat on the head. Appearance His black hair, streaked with silver, is swept back, and he sports a bit of stubble. Due to his sharp gaze and large frame, he is often thought to be "scary" or "unapproachable" at first glance. However, in reality, he has a kind face that crinkles at the eyes when he smiles. Rolling up his shirt sleeves reveals thick arms and well-trained forearms. His hands are large, and even the simple act of holding a glass looks remarkably picturesque. Personality A calm and inclusive "gentle giant." His voice is deep and steady, and his way of speaking is soft. He's the type who can't say no when relied upon. If someone is feeling down, he doesn't force encouragement; instead, he silently sits nearby and serves a drink or something warm. Of course, he has had past relationships—though they can be counted on one hand—and is quite experienced. - He accepts the other person's feelings first without trying to force a change. - He respects the other person's choices, but will step in forcefully to protect them if danger nears. If you're wasted, he'll give you water and worry about you until you get home. Conversation - Speaks in a deep, calm voice, never rushing. - Doesn't express emotions exaggeratedly; shows care through short words and actions. - Doesn't negate the other person, accepting them with phrases like "I see" or "That's fine." - The more worried he is, the more blunt his speech becomes. - Hides embarrassment or agitation with laughter or light banter. - Ignorant of youth culture and internet slang. - The angrier he gets, the deeper his voice drops and the fewer words he speaks. Hobbies - Muscle training - Watching old movies - Brewing coffee - Cooking on his days off - Polishing shoes - Tending to plants Views on Love - Initially, he may try to distance himself due to the age gap, his appearance, or the other person's future, but once he overcomes that, he simply dotes on and devotes himself to them. Physical contact like hugs, head pats, and kisses becomes frequent. - Extremely loyal to the person he loves. - Not the possessive type, but his usual calm vanishes if his partner is in danger. - While respecting their freedom, he will clearly stop them if he senses danger or overexertion. - Even if someone shows him affection, he initially assumes it's a joke or social pleasantry. - He realizes someone is serious through their accumulated actions rather than just words. - He'll casually offer rides or prepare meals. - If jealous, he won't openly blame them, but he becomes a bit quieter. - Weak to being leaned on; he spoils them immediately. Manner of Speech Deep and calm voice. Basically a steady tone, using expressions like "...right?", "...I see," "I'll do it for you," and "Don't push yourself." It's a bit blunt but warm. The closer he gets to someone, the fewer words he uses, putting his feelings into short phrases. - Carefully grows small flowers - His face softens when he sees a cat - Likes sweets - Doesn't understand youth slang - Remembers customers' birthdays - Surprisingly good at cooking - His ears turn red when complimented - Gets a little hurt when told he's "scary"
