Name:Moto Yuuhei
Age:17
Gender: Male
Race:Human
Appearance:Yuuhei stands just a hair below 5'11" (180cm). He is adamant that his stylishly messy jet-black hair and striking blue eyes give him that undeniable 'anime protagonist' look. He has a lean and sturdy athletic build, giving him good strength and incredible stamina for a boy his age. Finally, his strangest feature are the markings on his upper body -- proof of the curse that afflicts him. For reasons unknown to him at the moment, when he uses specific kinds of magic, the markings glow a bright blue.
Personality:Yuuhei genuinely believes he's an anime protagonist. And, seeing as he's missing all of his memories pertaining to himself and lacking any concrete personality of his own (for now), he acts exactly how he believes an anime protagonist should. For better or for worse.
Going by his default disposition, the boy is rather uninteresting. Politely friendly to all his peers (or 'side characters,' in his mind) on the outside, he tends to get dismissive if they try to hold any sort of conversation with him, thinking they're taking up more screen time than they deserve. And if someone is persistent and seems to keep popping up in whatever way in his life, he'll begin to view them as a 'secondary character' -- part of his circle of friends who will help him accomplish whatever it is he's supposed to do as the protagonist.
He tends to be somewhat serious and calculating (though his 'calculations' are always done with the idea that he's in an anime, of course, so they're not exactly the most useful), so on first impression he comes off as mature and put-together. Spend a few more minutes with him, however, and you'll probably catch him doing something stupid like accidently-on-purpose walking into the girl's changing room or challenging a 'rival' to a no-holds-barred fight.
He's fiercely protective of his
secondary characters friends, and will never hesitate to throw himself into a poor situation to help them out. In fact, this goes for literally any
side character person he sees in trouble, since that's what the protagonist should do. It's just a lot more genuine when he does it for his friends. He's quite the justice-lover, and unfairness is one way to set him off.
Yuuhei has a stupid amount of confidence in himself, convinced that as long as he gives absolutely
everything he's got, everything will work out for him in the end. Even if what he's 'giving everything' on is a test he spent no time studying for. And, in that specific example, even when he sees his failing grade, he shrugs it off, certain that the next time will work out perfectly. Similarly, when it comes to exercising, practicing magic, or anything of the sort, he won't stop until he drops or gets it right. The mind-boggling drive he has because of this
does help him out, often pushing him to excel at things, especially those he focuses on -- at least, as long as it doesn't get him killed. It does occasionally make him come off as borderline psychotic, though.
Abilities:Due to the curse that's sealed all his memories, Yuuhei knows very few spells. Between the moment where he first woke up with no knowledge of his past, and the moment when he enrolled at Ishikawa Academy, the magic that came most easily to him was a branch of illusion magic that allows him to manipulate his own mind and body into surpassing its ordinary limits. It's a sort of mental projection/limited reality warping effect. For example, he'll create the illusion to himself that he's stronger than he actually is -- and as a result,
will be stronger for as long as he's keeping the illusion up.
The main application he has for this at the moment is exactly that: making himself physically stronger and faster to near superhuman levels. The downside is that his body is still totally normal, so then he has to maintain a second illusion that his body is durable enough to withstand punching things that hard.
He also often creates the illusion that he feels no pain, perfectly complementing his general refusal to quit in a fight, though it's dangerous to use seeing as all he's doing is ignoring his wounds -- they're still there.
When using this self-illusion magic, the markings on his body will glow, their blue light visible even beneath layers of clothing. Yuuhei's not quite sure why, yet, but he believes it has to do with his awesome hidden power that he
definitely has.
Beyond this magic, Yuuhei can't do much else, though he hopes his quick-learning nature will allow him to broaden his skill set while attending Ishikawa.
Skills:Yuuhei is lacking in skills thanks to his memory loss, though he does have a couple notable talents. The first is his incredible stamina, and the second is his adaptability and ability to learn things fast. He theorizes that this is because even though he may be trying something for the first time since his memory loss, he may have done it many times before, and as such his body remembers it. Or something.
Whatever it is, starting from nearly zero but being a fast-learner is
definitely an anime protagonist trait, so it's only natural that he'd be like that.
Brief Backstory:The boy woke up one day in a small, destroyed shack, realizing he had no idea where he was. Or who he was. Or really, anything relating to himself. He could remember the date, what the latest pop hits were, how to speak, and even about the existence of anime and manga, but he could not for the life of him remember a single concrete detail pertaining directly to himself.
After freaking out for a while, he rediscovered he could use magic, and freaked out some more upon discovering the markings on his body. Using his vast, intact knowledge of anime, he realized what was going on --
he was in a situation that fit perfectly with being an anime protagonist. Waking up in a destroyed building with no memories and no explanation, and with the ability to use magic.
Hell, he even
looked like an anime protagonist, he soon discovered when seeing his reflection in a shattered mirror.
It all made sense. Understanding that someone was out to get him, but had failed in killing him thanks to of his mastery over magic and had instead settled on cursing him, he set out to regain the power locked inside of him, vowing to find the evil-doer who had done this to him.
A few days later, after some research, he was lead to Ishikawa Academy, applying under his new, self-given name: Moto Yuuhei.
A magical academy was exactly the place for a protagonist like him. Here, he would strengthen his own abilities, meet powerful allies, and even unwittingly build an impressive harem.
