[list]Kaito is the kind of person who, despite being a target of constant ridicule, is somehow still some form of optimist. Once upon a time, he could have been called self conscious, angry, and pretty damn weird. However, after years and years of it, he came out on the other side. Sure, he may not always smile on the outside, but on the inside, he’s grinning a big ol’ grin, and even when he’s not, he’ll do his best to hide it.

Thanks to years of experience, Kaito is basically a sponge for emotional abuse, utilizing and even weaponizing years of bullying to become what can only be described as an ‘emotional meatshield’. He will regularly take advantage of this fact, and intentionally draw peoples ire towards him to help his friends. This is due in part to his status as a massive otaku, with many of his morals being inspired by anime protagonists over the years.

Unfortunately, despite being ready to take abuse, it hasn’t exactly helped his confidence. He tends to have a hard time talking to people when he’s not trying to redirect their irritation towards him, and even worse, he has an unfortunate tendency to do so by [i]accident[/i].

Finally, he loves humor and jokes and stuff, just like most other people his age. However, he’s not exactly what you’d call good at it, generally gravitating towards either brutal self deprecation or dad jokes. [/list]

[list]If there was one concept that would perfectly encapsulate Kaito, it would be ‘the meatshield’. He will often try to put himself in harms way while subtly shifting the original target from the aggressors sights, although he isn’t quite as good at taking actual, physical damage as he is emotional abuse. Perhaps when he was seven, when his parents died in a car crash, he moved in with his grandparents, and he spent his time getting into fights with other kids and just generally being angry at the world, but now, eleven years later? Now he’s really pretty weak.

He was only in his whole ‘fighting phase’ for about a year before it started going downhill. The rage he had inside him, the anger at the unfairness of his parents being ripped away from him without him even knowing, it simply faded with time. He started losing the fire that drove him in fights, which quickly led to him losing them more and more often. Eventually, he just sort of gave up, leaving him with a complete lack of motivation and an equally bad lack of charisma, the latter remaining to this very day.

Now that he couldn’t embrace his negative feelings in fights, he decided to try and escape them. This led to him retreating into the wonderful world of anime, where he somehow managed to discover a number of actual, honest to god role models. He had a particular fondness for Vash the Stampede and Kenshin Himura, characters who regularly put themselves in harms way to protect others. Before the year was over, Kaito had made his choice. From then on, he would become a shield. After all, he was already being bullied for his freakishly tiny irises. Why not use it to do some good?

Unfortunately, no matter how well he thought he could handle it, near constant bullying and life ambitions based on anime generally don’t do a whole lot of good, and his school life suffered heavily. His grades ended up dropping, and by the time he was in highschool, his results rarely made it out of the bottom quarter of the class, let alone the bottom half. It was getting to the point where he was beginning to lose hope. Even with support from his grandparents, nothing he tried seemed to be helping.

At this point, he just hopes he can keep up the front of someone who can take the abuse people keep firing at him, and keep it bottled up within him. It’s been getting harder and harder recently, but if he can finally crush that sadness down for good, then maybe, just maybe, he can do what he’s wanted to do for the past decade.

He can help people, without his naturally appalling charisma getting in the way.[/list]
