[b][color=Crimson]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Straight and too aware.
[b][color=Crimson]Personality:[/color][/b] Nobu is a man who is very confident in his own abilities, willing to lend a helping hand wherever he can. However, it is due to this self-confidence that makes most others avoid asking him for help. Headstrong and unable to accept the notion of ever being wrong, Nobu would rather cast himself from out of the masses than conform to what everyone else believes is "correct." Instead of conforming with what others believe are correct (factual or not), Nobu instead indulges in various outlets of escapism mainly in the form of computers. To Nobu, the fact that computers can be programmed to his whims makes them easier to deal with than other people, who form their own thoughts and opinions separate from his.

Despite his rough exterior, Nobu is still inclined to help those who desire his skills so long as they don't imply that he may be wrong. However, aside from his own stubbornness, there is another obstacle that prevent Nobu from properly helping others: his attraction to solving problems through complex methods, especially when simpler ways to solve an issue are apparent. For example, instead of shutting down a computer normally, Nobu would run the command prompt and execute the "shutdown" command manually. Nobu uses such methods both to further cement his judgement and due to his aversion to "taking the easy way out."

[list][*]Computer Programming: Proficient in a variety of programming languages and operating systems (including Windows, Unix, TempleOS, and Linux), it would not be too far off to consider Nobu a "genius" in this field, especially given his age. However, this scope is very narrow, and does not cover extensive knowledge on hardware.[/list]
[b][color=Crimson]Equipment:[/color][/b] Aside from his backpack full of stationary as well as his mobile phone, Nobu carries with him a high-end [i]Frontier[/i] gaming laptop. However, it is only used for schoolwork and reading light novels.

[h3][b][i][color=Crimson][center]Identity[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=Crimson]Your Story Thus Far:[/color][/b] There isn't much to say about Nobu's life. The young man was born and raised in Hokkaido, living in the city of Hakodate. While he never was the brightest growing up, he always had easy access to technology. There was never a question he couldn't answer thanks to the internet. In elementary school, he would try making friends with others by telling them all different bits of trivia he would learn from the countless hours he would spend surfing the web. To Nobu, it felt like he was enriching his fellow classmates with new information. To his classmates, Nobu seemed like some sort of know-it-all, showing off how smart he is to look cool. Between that and actively answering every question a teacher would ask in class, it wasn't long until Nobu was ostracized for being a "loud-mouthed nerd." Nobu simply interpreted this reaction as an "inability to learn" on his classmates' parts and happily ignored those who belittled him, but deep down his social anxieties began.

Come the beginning of middle school, Nobu had already immersed himself into the virtual world. He had already learned the ins-and-outs of Windows and Unix, and could already call himself comfortable with Linux to use regularly. Around this time was also when people became more accepting of Nobu's abrasive nature. As a matter of fact, it was also the first time Nobu ever received a confession of love in his shoe locker. Her name was Yonezawa Nanami, one of the more popular girls in the school, so Nobu thought it was rather strange why she would confess to him in such a way... at least until he finished reading the whole letter. The day after, Nobu confronted Nanami in her class, giving her back the letter with all its grammatical and calligraphy errors marked and corrected as if he was grading her before asking if she would like to attend some writing tutorials with him. To Nobu, he truly wished to help Nanami improve on her penmanship, and had offered the writing classes as a potential first date. Nanami, however, was too embarrassed for words, running out of the classroom and causing a scene. 

Suffice to say, the spectacle had caused Nobu to be universally reviled among his classmates, and even the target of bullies. Such events only cemented Nobu's descent into the digital world. His parents, afraid that their only son would end up a hikikomori, decided to move to their hometown on the island of Jitsuryoku-jima before the boy started high school. It was then and there that Nobu would reform himself as a man of mystery, helping whoever he encounters in need and whisking away afterward before they can even ask him of his name... or at least, that's what Nobu attempted to do his first few weeks as a first year in Aomori Gakuen. Instead, he became known more as that weird mostly quiet kid who gave advice about trivial things at random points in time. Incidentally, his addiction to digital media has only increased since then.

[b][color=Crimson]Relationships:[/color][/b] (Pick at least five NPC Survivors and describe your relationship using one of the following: ⟢ 🎆Respects ⟡ 🌓Neutral ⟡ 👋Acquaintance ⟡ 🙇It's Complicated ⟣ 💛Friend ⟡ 💙Good Friends ⟡ 💜Best Friends ⟡ ❣️Ex-Friends ⟡ 😈Frienemy ⟣ 💘Infatuation ⟡ 💓Loves ⟡ 💕Basically Family ⟡ 💞Family ⟡ 💔Ex-Lovers ⟣ ♨️Tense ⟡ 💀Dislikes ⟡ 😡Hates ⟡ 👿Enemy ⟡ 👹Absolutely Loathes ⟣) Feel free to elaborate.
[list]
[*]Every Female [😡Hates (One-Sided)] - Nobu does not associate himself with "3D". However, there are a few notable exceptions.
[*]Yoshimoto Natsumi [🎆Respects / 👋Acquaintance] - Seat neighbors. While initially at odds due to Nobu's intimidating nature, they came to an understanding after having a discussion of the "idol" genre. While their tastes differ, they are still both open to discussing seasonal anime.
[*]Osaki Kiyoko [🙇It's Complicated] - After learning of Nobu's helpful nature (after being sent a cited essay detailing notable administrative mistakes of past world leaders once she was elected), Kiyoko has attempted to help Nobu open himself up more. While Nobu respects these attempts, he has refused to comply since doing so will "go against his ideals" (read: trigger his social anxiety).
[*]Kimura Yumiko [👿Enemy (One-Sided] - Incidentally, Yumiko resembles Nanami. Nobu tries his best to avoid her, and can't help but see her as a potential rival.
[*]Minamoto Katsu [💀Dislikes] - Nobu sees Katsu as his main rival due to the both of them being "mysterious exchange students." It is unknown if Katsu feels the same way, as Nobu keeps such feelings to himself.
[*]Kumagai Arata [💛Friend] - Kohai. Nobu sees it as his duty to mentor Arata, seeing him as a potential "disciple." Banned the topic of "chess" after losing to him once.[/list]
