Souma Kohei ♂: Originally I made him for a Fruits Basket inspired role play, but I can alter him to fit in to another game. Kohei is a cursed member of the Souma family who left the main house to become a Buddhist monk to try and find inner peace, but came back for mysterious reasons. He is basically an thirty year old obnoxious lush with a taste for women and causing his family trouble and heartache in the most hilarious and loveable way possible.

PERSONALITY ( happy ) ( loyal ) ( creative ) ( persevering ) ( wily ) ( deviant ) ( chaotic ) ( impish ) █║❀ The more Kohei loves someone the more they experience his strange pattern of affection: being showered by pranks and/or relentless teasing, then some sweet gesture to win back their favor or to ease his guilty conscience. Usually this gesture is just him spending lots of pleasant bonding time, but in the extreme cases (like the kimono-snake) it can also be the reappearance of someone's favorite trinket or a large peace offering of food, toys or labor. The pattern was especially aggravating when he was much younger. After returning to the Souma home many were hoping the life of a Buddhist monk changed him drastically; it didn't. Kohei is still naughty and troublesome, but at they very least he is a lot less obnoxious. He no longer tortures his family mercilessly but he has taken it upon himself to harass every single female he meets. At the very least he is flippant with his approach to women and most (smart) women simply shrug him off. Kohei is not, however, easily discouraged. Hard headed and (surprisingly) dedicated, he always works hard when he sets his eyes on a goal. He loves a challenge and exercising his brain by coming up with different plans and ways to achieve his prize. One of his favorite 'prizes' are the looks of exasperation and annoyance his family gives him when he has he sucks down a jar of sake. When Kohei isn't out cavorting with loose women he is a hard working man who would do anything for his loved ones. He is also affectionate and wise. His affection is showered freely over his family and friends in the form of quality times and gifts, but the wisdom he likes to keep hidden. The last thing Kohei wants is people thinking he's some sort of responsible grown up. What's the fun in that?! BIOGRAPHY █║❀ As a child Kohei was always on the constant watch list. With an impish twinkle in his eyes he ran around causing havoc. He was known for putting spiders in his cousins' hair or, when he was feeling particularly mean, harmless garden snakes in kimonos of random victims. Wherever he was combs and other small trinkets were sure to disappear and reappear in the strangest places. (once there was an earring in his father's mochi) He only ever did well in the teachings he found enjoyable and would play hooky all the time. His favorite pastime was escaping the family home to secretly visit a lonely hermit and his small pack of dogs who lived lived in the outskirts of the mountain. When he was there the middle-aged man would talk about Buddhist teachings and teach him how to read the behaviour of dogs and other animals. Needless to say if was this old man who ultimately influenced Kohei decided to become a buddhist at twelve. His wishes went against what the Soumas wanted since it would require him to leave the main house to places where their name held no power to live and study with strangers, but Kohei was determined. It was especially out of the question because Kohei first transformed and nearly killed his mother about two years ago. Why couldn't he just read the books and live the lifestyle of a monk under their own roof? Kohei would not hear it. He was convinced that Buddhism would help him live with the monster inside him. If he could find that inner peace and enlightenment he would not hurt anyone. He would be the closest thing to cured any other Souma had ever reached! The tension this conflict brought upon the house was absolutely crushing. Kohei argued with everyone and anyone who showed the slightest bit of doubt in him and his abilities to become a well-centered and disciplined monk of the religion. (Although in retrospect Kohei accepted why they felt this way) Eventually, at fourteen, Kohei left the mountain at the dead of night and ventured out in to the world to find enlightenment. At first the household went crazy. They had to find him and bring him back before he killed someone. Then days turned in to weeks, weeks to months, then a year and there was no word about strange murders in Japan. There was, however, a letter from Kohei letting his parents know that he was doing well and that he was happy. In his letter he also attached a few locks of his hair to show everyone that he was officially starting as a monk. Buddhism was working for him and he had found a peaceful environment to live in. He had discovered a side of himself he never knew existed: a calm and disciplined individual who felt no need to torment those around him. For the thirteen years he spent away from the family few letters were exchanged but all of them were pleasant and brought nothing but good news. So it was a huge surprise when Kohei suddenly turned up back in their mountain, a head full of hair and a bottle of sake in his hand. Kohei simply claims that he started missing tormenting his family and that a taste of a quiet life was enough for him, which many believe is very possible. How could their crazy little monkey have stood being stuck in some stuffy religion for so long anyway? However if one really pays attention, there is something different about the twinkle in his eyes.
