[hider=Itsugaya Kiyoshi][img]http://data.whicdn.com/images/39439864/large.jpg[/img] [b]Appearance:[/b] Outside of class, Kiyoshi tends to be wearing hoodies of various colors, most notably blue, orange and grey. Always has his headhpones on him, even in school. [b]Name:[/b] Itsugaya Kiyoshi [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Birthday:[/b] Don't worry about it [b]Sexuality:[/b] Hetero [b]Job/occupation:[/b] Amateur Street Performer [b]Likes:[/b] Listening to the noises around him, his Spanish Guitar, performing for others (when he wants to) [b]Dislikes:[/b] Distracting noises, dense or annoying individuals (affects the first dislike), Being asked to perform (affects first and second dislikes). [b]Personality:[/b] Almost always appears calm and collected with a neutral expression adorning his face. His thoughts are quizzical and curious, the mind of a tinkerer and his ears are always listening for the next sound to be heard. A big fan of music in all its forms and wonders (particularly obsessed with Infected Mushroom and synth sounds) and a bit of a computer geek. [b]Backstory:[/b] Kiyoshi was born into a well respected family known for their voices, ironically enough he came out silent. While he was never rejected for his inability to speak, he never felt like he belonged, like he was the black sheep in the family. Kiyoshi's uncle was the only person he ever felt comfortable around, probably because rather than using his voice, Itsugaya Koto played instruments. Kiyoshi heard sounds and wonders that not even the voice could produce and he fell immediately in love with music. For as long as Kiyoshi remembers, he's been playing music, perfecting it's art, giving himself a voice of his own. He would play in front of small crowds, among groups of friends, or record music himself late into the night. Despite having found his own voice, he still didn't feel he truly belonged, and still having to go to school, it was becoming increasingly frustrating trying to communicate with classmates and teachers. Knowing they were going to be moving to the States from Japan soon, his parents wanted to find a suitable school that would fulfill all of Kiyoshi's needs. They found the 'solution' at Burnswick Private Academy.
