W-wait! Where are you going?! I'm not done yet![/color]"[/h3][/center][hr] [b][color=ed1c24]Name[/color][/b] Tsutsumi Kogen [b][color=ed1c24]Identity[/color][/b] Tsutsumi Kogen, much like his peers, was born in raised in Kuroshiro, where he lived with his parents and cute younger sister. From a young age, Kogen was fascinated by the world of punk rock and anime, often daydreaming about being a powerful wizard or a cool rock star. However, as he entered middle school, his fantasies turned into something more extreme. Kogen is what one would call a "chuunibyou," prone to acting out his fantastical delusions in real life. It didn't help that he was also something of a troublemaker, pulling pranks on his fellows while blaming it on his "air of misfortune." Naturally, his classmates generally avoided him, as they found his tendencies to quote the lyrics of his favorite songs in gratuitous English while ripping on an imaginary guitar strange and off-putting. Desperate for friendship, Kogen thought he had found it with a certain group of delinquents and hooligans, introduced to them by one of his very few childhood friends. They seemed to accept him and his eccentricities, and he was overjoyed to finally have people to share his interests with. However, he soon realized that he was being used as their errand boy, and that they didn't actually care about him at all. Determined to prove himself, Kogen stood up to them one day, but it ended in disaster. He was beaten so badly that he had to wear a bandage over his eye for several weeks. The other students took pleasure in taunting him, calling him "Hitotsumi-kun." At first, Kogen felt ashamed and embarrassed by his injury, but he soon realized that the whole reason why he got beat in the first place was so he could truly stand up for himself. Kogen began to embrace the name "Hitotsumi-kun," even going so far as to wear an eyepatch as a fashion statement. He no longer cared what others thought of him and continued to live his life as he wanted, even if it meant being an outcast. As Kogen prepared to enter high school, he knew that things wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to stay true to himself and not let anyone bring him down. Having been coerced by his homeroom teacher to make at least a few friends before graduation, Kogen knew at heart that even this wouldn't cause his peers to accept him for who he was. After all, who would want to be friends Hitotsumi-Kun, Demon Lord of the Evil Eye? [b][color=ed1c24]Peculiarity[/color][/b] As a generally peculiar person, it is almost a given that Kogen would possess a multitude of... [i]talents[/i] that set him apart from his peers. If asked, Kogen would be more than happy to talk about his peculiar abilities, including his hidden right eye which holds all the world's misfortunes. Sealed within it is the very essence of Hell itself, a scar born of betrayal... As far as actual talents go, he is a treasure trove of obscure facts and trivia, especially in regards to topics like the occult, J-rock, and fantasy anime. However, his depth of knowledge into these topics is quite shallow, kind of like a kilometer-wide kiddie pool. In fact, his accumulated knowledge is so surface-level that even the otakus don't consider Kogen to be one of their own, among other reasons. To be honest, a lot of Kogen's talents are pretty useless for survival situations. He may possess the mischievous nature of a prankster, but not the mental abstraction needed for anything elaborate. He could take a punch or two, but he's by no means tough. Even Kogen's ability to entertain others is middling, his musical talents extending only to the air and broom guitars. If there was one thing that Kogen has that sets him apart from his peers (aside from his admittedly pretty sick air guitar skills,) it would be his ability to stay true to himself. Even when he was beaten by those he once called his friends, even when he was ridiculed by his classmates, even when his teachers have told him to grow up, Kogen's sense of identity has not once conformed. Call it willpower, stubbornness, or the inability to mature, Kogen's true strength lies in his strong sense of self. In other words, Kogen's true strength lies in "being Hitotsumi-kun." [/hider]
