Family

• Father Kenta (42)
• Mother Miyu (40)
• Brother Yuuto (deceased, would be 20)

History

• strict father with high expectations
• when brother died, he was expected to carry on the family tradition of wrestling
• brother died, people said it was suicide but it never sat right with him (he believes it was the result of bullying)
• while skilled he just never had much passion for it
• the last year he failed because he was suspended for fighting. he felt justified but the school didn't see it that way. It took a lot of begging from his father to keep him in the school. Which created more strain between him and his father.
• always had a mean streak
• tended to target bullies (partly because he views his father as a bully)
• in the past he used his skills against cyber bullies but as time wore on he began feeling urges to for physically fighting bullies

Personality

• Loves baseball and computers…. The two things he and his brother shared.
• Stubborn and insubordinate when he thinks things are unfair.
• Curious to a fault some would say nosey.
• Social and well liked at school.
• He is self conscious about his size.
• There is a part of him that is also a peacemaker. (I took that from Raguel who is not just a representation of vengenace but also justice, fairness and harmony)

Aspirations

• I hope I come to terms with my brother’s death
• I hope my anger does not get the best of me
• I hope I can work things out with Ayane (I think he still has a crush on her despite her making it clear that it was not mutual)

Breaking Points

• What is the worst thing your character has ever done?
  • Disappointed his father (by failing the previous school year)
• What is the worst thing your character can imagine himself doing?
  • I think he’s afraid that one day he will go too far. Bullies have been the outlet for his anger but he counts himself luck that the conflicts have not been too serious
• What is the worst thing your character can imagine some-one else doing?
  • What scares him the most about bullies is that he understands/empathizes/predicts the type of cruelty they act out.
• What has the character forgotten? (Basically what scary otherworldly phenomenon have you seen)
  • Maybe the true circumstances of his brother’s death have been blocked out.
• What is the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to the character?
  • His brother’s death

Relationships

PCs

Tsukiyama Imaidegawa

• she seems like a shy girl, but one time he saw her stand up to X and he really respected that
• Can we say that it may have been an incident that involved both of us and since then we’ve been friends? I’m starting with the first post and working my way through so I haven’t read your PCs thoughts on the other characters
• I think my character is conflicted between duty and dealing with his brothers death so his perspective on hard work has changed. At times he may have noted how hard Imaidegawa works and should lighten up a bit….. not a criticism more as friendly advice.
• Since her arcana is the moon…. I think I sometimes find her hard to understand as key words online for that tarot card suggest
• My character tends to see things in black and white so greys can be confusing.

Ayane Sumihara

• it sounds like she is good at sports and martial arts. Perhaps our characters have travelled together for school tournaments? My character would be attracted to her fun loving spirit. Although, justice being a key word for my character sometimes her wild behaviour for reasons similar to Imaidegawa.
• Celisasu, would it be possible that during the year I flunked classes that we skipped classes together?
• I don’t think my character would agree with your interest in money/fancy clothes.
• Given that you’ve chosen empress…. Perhaps my character found you comforting when he was sad. He probably unsuccessfully tried to ask her out. As her persona probably naturally attracts people especially those who are feelng needy. Not to mention she is too busy with her other obligations
• Tatsuya's temper didn't help him take this well.... things are probably a bit awkward..... he needs to make amends.

Haruka Shimada

• he admires her skills with the naginata and willingness to help others.
• being a Hermit one would think that would not attract people but I think it just makes my character curious about what makes this person tick. I think they probably have had limited interactions usually concluding with Haruka excusing herself or leaving a bit too quickly.

Daichi Akiyama

• Daichi and Tatsuya were on the soccer team together. Wrestling and Judo are more Tatsuya’s thing but it was suggested that it might help make him more fit (cardio wise). While T was failing D was excelling. This made things tense between them.
• Reading up on the Hierophant and knowing about Daichi’s deceased father. The two may have shared a rare heart to heart conversation on death. This is probably what kept T from fighting D.

Chiharu Iinuma

• So far all signs point toward her as being an ice queen but the fair side of Tatsuya thinks… “maybe she’s just having trouble adjusting to the new school.” Being the high priestess Tatsuya probably sees her as genuinely wise for comments she’s made in class or in passing. But what’s her secret? Why does she have her walls up?

Himeko "Hime-Hime" Himeshima

• rebelling against family tradition? +1!
• Sounds like she likes metal (assuming Painkiller is metal). Maybe he’s seen her around at local shows but they haven’t talked much.

NPCs

Likes

His best friend is an athlete. Their friendship is what keeps Tatsuya on the team otherwise he would seriously consider disappointing his father and quitting.

Dislikes

The school's worst bully is female. This proves to be a problem as Tatsuya typically has dealth with bullies with his fists.

Teacher

The vice principal has been extremely understanding and Tatsuya appreciates that the VP seems sincere
