[hider=Furuya Hotaru] [centre][b]Name[/b] Furuya Hotaru [b]Age[/b] 17 [b]Gender[/b] Male [b]Appearance[/b] [img=http://safebooru.org//images/99/b5bf4d9e552d235e002d8269b80b175c8c0f7be0.jpg?98625] Blessed or perhaps cursed with soft, feminine features and waist length bleach grey hair, Hotaru's broad shoulders and stocky build make up for it. He stands just shy of 5"4" and is rarely seen without a cigarette behind one ear. [b]Personality[/b] For the lack of a better term, Hotaru is lazy. He tends to put forward the least amount of effort possible and avoids more difficult work, preferring to do the light stuff. Nevertheless he is more than willing to get his hands dirty if there's something in it for him, or if it means that someone will owe him a favour. Naturally this changes completely when it's a woman doing the asking, at which point the normally calm and relaxed Hotaru devolves into a stuttering wreck, utterly at the mercy of his female overlords. Overall he tries to maintain his distance from others while still being a part of the group, striking a balance that means he is never completely open about himself to anyone.

[b]Prime Persona[/b] Unknown [b]Ultimate Persona[/b] Unknown [b]History[/b] The Furuya family is a large one, yet only two of it's six members are male. Hotaru grew up surrounded by his elder sisters, always treated differently, alternately picked and doted on over the years. His henpecked early life left scars on Hotaru that would remain thankfully unseen during his middle school days, when he was left in the company of his own sex at an all-boys school in Tokyo. It wasn't until he moved to Tatsumi Port Island to Gekkoukan High School that the true extent of his trauma became apparent. Unable to speak to women for fear of being beaten, unable to show them any goodwill for (the perhaps irrational) fear of being spoiled like a child, Hotaru retreated into himself, avoiding all contact with the fairer sex. For the first year of school he was mercifully safe in the care of his uncle who lived nearby, but when he entered his second year, circumstances changed and he was forced to move into the Iwatodai Dormitory. As a co-ed dorm, it was [i]not[/i] his first choice. [/centre][/hider]
