If you’re not careful, I can really surprise you with a few tricks up my sleeve.”[/center] [hider= Not Your Average Cute Boy][center][img]https://preview.ibb.co/iv1eqc/Kaja.jpg[/img][/center][/hider] If looks could kill, then Nobu’s beauty would be a deadly weapon. His family probably thought he should go in the catalogues. Pose for the magazines, though Nobu’s personality and personal drive probably would not have ever allowed him such a future. At 5’7” he comes just shy of the height of a traditional model and he has always been an energetic individual, despite that slender, androgynous frame. He tends to wear messy suits, never tucking in his button shirts and always rolling up his sleeves. Jeans and shoes he can easily run with, he doesn’t really exude the professionalism that some people in the office do. Instead he prefers easy, comfortable clothing that give him a range of movement, his small frame can come in handy shimming his way in a many air vents in his time. Or being able to climb a gate with relative ease. What he lacks in physical strength, he makes up with it with gymnastic grace that few can really match. He can also be quite stealthy, and quite sheer footed. Quick turns, fluid movements, and peak speed is what is given in his lithe frame. When he’s working in the field he exchanges his glasses for contacts. His voice is airy, with a bit of vocal fry. It has a bit of the same as androgyny that his own appearance yields.

The Investigator unlike others doesn’t seem to have a visible weapon on him. He’s just wearing a black coat, with a faint red aura to it. Sometimes the biggest punch comes in unsurprisingly hidden things. Lined in the inside of the coat is faint red threads, when he unravels them they become small weapons he can throw like throwing knives and throwing needles. Personality: Despite his energetic personality doesn’t mean Nobu lacks maturity. He seems well adjusted for an investigator for the most part, providing mentorship for younger members when they ask. Like his namesake you know you can fall back on Nobu to being there for you. He’s trustworthy and loyal, and anyone who knows him he doesn’t seemed phase by his occupation. His hardy mental stability is what’s been attributed to his success. Remaining calm in the most nerving of situations, and not breaking a sweat, he’s the one someone relies on to be there for you in the most extreme and stressful situation. With that said Nobu is not a delicate, shy wallflower either. He says what is on his mind and can be kind of sassy. He will tease those he likes mercilessly. To the point some people think he’s doing it maliciously or that he is doing it because he is bully. Though Nobu can be sarcastically passive aggressive sometimes and that’s hard to read. He dislikes anyone who is going to underestimate him and has a habit of going harder on those that think because of just his looks he doesn’t have any strength. He’s not some bookish scholar who likes to hide behind a desk and read books. He expects professionalism and expects people to respect the position that he has been placed in, because he earned it and worked to get where he is through hard work. He likes sweet and sour foods, coffee art, and has a fascination with cactus owning several different forms of cactus in his apartment. Skill: Sheer Footed - Nobu is sheer footed. He can land ridiculous landings that another person might surely lose their balance on. He is exceptionally balanced like a cat burglar on beams and narrow spaces. He’s also not likely to fall or lose balance when in combat either. Evidence Gathering - While Grant may focus on picking people’s brains, Nobu is very good at picking out evidence and putting the physical pieces together like putting back together as a puzzle. As a security guard for the prime minister you have to assern threats from physical appearance alone sometimes. Thus Nobu is able to put together irrelevant information physically to relevant physical information. Like Grant he focuses on the tiny details, unlike Grant he has no desire to know how the killer thinks. That’s just weird and disturbing. Parkour - Everything is an obstacle in his world. Jumping from one place to another that no one else would consider a pathway. Nobu’s the type of person to take full advantage of his environment. Acting - Remember as a kid his parents thought he should be a model. Being a very beautiful and handsome boy his parents expected him to use it when he was younger. They tended to get upset with him if he tried to go for any sporty club. H use to do theater and drama in class. And if the mission calls for it he won’t mind a dress, but only for spying. Equipment: All the natural stuff you’d think an investigator should carry with them. His quinque, that looks like a nifty coat when not activated, his IDs, etc. He does have a carton of cigarettes as well Walkman History: Somewhere out there in another time and another universe Nobu’s probably some famous actor, in the movies, on the cover of magazines as the most beautiful man in Tokyo or all of Japan. But in this universe and in this time Nobu is still a beautiful man, just not on any covers of any magazines. At least he hopes to god not. He grew up in a rather strict household compared to most Japanese families. His parents had set expectations of their children. Mostly to see them grow up in a career that was successful and made enough so that his eldest brother Kohei could take care of the parents when they were old. The only reason his traditional and strict family were less strict on what career path he took was because of his looks. He was their trophy son. Near as beautiful as his youngest sister and his eldest sister, they encouraged him to take theater club, they encouraged him to join in community theaters. While Nobu was good at it, he was an athletic and sporty individual. Something his parents were not too proud of. While Nobu snuck soccer games behind their back or running for track, when they found out they naturally got upset that their trophy might get scratched. When it was time to make his own decision for his future, he took to a physical job instead of the rich and famous lifestyle his parents saw for him. Going into a basic military boot camp program and being deferred to a security team, Nobu spent his life training as an armed serviceman. While physically weaker than some of the men, he made it up with nimble footwork, an ability to pay attention to details and assess threats quickly, and his acrobatic skill set allowed him to succeed through most of his bootcamp. He passed his intelligence exams with flying colors, though Nobu never bragged about that or at least plays it off as if he got standard average grades. Nobu’s first job in his late teens and twenties, was to be an armed guard for a few notable persons. Mainly celebrities on tour or other individuals. Even working alongside a team hired for the one and only HimeHana. He moved on from notable clients with money to his biggest job yet, two years prior to working in the CCG he was the bodyguard of the former Tokyo Prime Minister. When that Prime Minister Hideki Shoujo retired, he put Nobu’s name in with the CCG. Referring the young man over to them. Told him he had a lot more potential there, than he did guarding individuals. Nobu used that leverage to join the Investigators. As a bodyguard he did have some experiences with Ghouls. He started off in the lower ranks, to be taught procedures, but it was clear he was an exceptional individual. Quick learner. And easily climbed the ranks to his current First Class Position.
