Alright, I decided to give it a chance. Here's what I got. --- [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/OfOWwaY.jpg[/img] [url=http://dreamself.me/d/kqbl]In-Game Spring appearance[/url] [b]Name:[/b] Gaku Yamamoto [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Birthday:[/b] Spring 7th [b]Role:[/b] Inn Worker [b]Likes[/b] -Spicy food and sweet food. Doesn't really tell people about the latter. -Music, top two are Rock and Classic. -Animals, have a special place in his heart. But he doesn't show much affection when around others -To follow up on this, Gaku likes cute things. Nobody knows this though, and he isn't so keen on letting others know. [b]Dislikes[/b] -Veggies unless mixed with other food. Straight out vegetables he finds tasteless and boring. -Working, would rather do nothing all day. Or play the guitar. -Country music -Thinking too hard about things he find stupid. Like puzzles and stuff. [b]Personality[/b] At first glance, people tend to say Gaku has a meek appearance and the personality of a potato. Gaku can be a bit blunt. And by a bit blunt, I mean Gaku can be brutally honest. He tends to say what's on his mind, even if it can be a bit offensive or hurtful. Although usually he doesn't mean it to be that way, which causes him to be a bit confused when someone is hurt by his statement. To him, he's just telling the truth. It doesn't help that Gaku hates working and can be very lazy at times, which causes him to do his jobs halfheartedly and mess things up in the end. This has Gaku rub off on people the wrong way, and some may even see him as a deviant. If something is missing? Blame Gaku. If something is broken or unfinished? It's probably Gaku's fault. But when he's not hitting the nail on the head, he is usually jamming out with the guitar. Gaku loves music, and wants to play for others, but sometimes has his doubts. It's not just music either, a lot of the time he has doubts about himself and on some days be a bit moody. Other then that though, Gaku likes animals and cute things, which tend to go hand in hand. However, he doesn't express this side of him much, and only shows affection for animals when alone. If there is one redeeming trait about Gaku however, it's that he doesn't judge people. He knows how it feels, so he comes off as very accepting to others for who they are, or whatever problems people carry. Although this doesn't mean he won't tell you the brutal and honest truth if need be. The only problem is, people can't get past his tough/punk guy persona to notice it. [b]Background[/b] Back when Gaku was young, he lived in a huge city with buses going back and forth, and the smoke rising up through the skies. Your typical, average pollution working city. His home life was fine, but at school he usually was tormented for liking cute or 'girly' things. Because of this, Gaku developed a punk-ish persona, and got in a lot of fights with people. This caused a lot of trouble for him in his school years, and you wouldn't be caught dead in detention without Gaku in the room with you. It didn't help Gaku was extremely blunt to others, which was usually the main ignition trigger to cause him to fight with others. His parents were extremely strict and old school with Gaku, which had him rebel a bit in his teenage years, too the point where Gaku begun to fail his schooling. After Gaku graduated High School, he decided to move out from the city because of the bad reputation he carried, as well as the feeling of disappointing his parents. He just couldn't carry the burden anymore, and decided to go somewhere new and refreshing. He ended in Lily of the Valley, yet wasn't used to the town life it brought and because of that always came off a bit cold with others villagers. He moved into the local Inn, where he now works for the Inn Keeper as payment for staying there. His tasks involves cleaning the front while doing odd jobs here and there, even being sent to help out other stores at times. On his off days, he spends a lot of his time out and about, either playing music or taking a stroll past farms. One day, Gaku hopes he can become a musician and spread his love for music with others all across the world, but tends to doubt his own abilities. [b]Skills[/b] -Even though he doubts himself, he is actually pretty fantastic with the guitar. Sometimes he just lacks inspiration. -He's become a master at avoiding daunting tasks, and is pretty great at putting them off until the last minute. This however tends to cause his work to be a bit terrible. -Due to all his years fighting in school, he can actually hold himself pretty well when fighting with someone else, even with his meek appearance. [b]Relationships[/b] [i]- Alex Garnet:[/i] They've worked at the local bar together before when the Inn Keeper sent him on one of his odd jobs. They've talked about work once or twice while Gaku was helping the bar, but outside of that they don't talk much. Gaku finds her a bit awkward when they're working together but doesn't really give it much thought. [i]- Elizabeth 'Eli' Stern:[/i] Since he lives at the Inn with her, Gaku sees Eli around a lot. They don't say much to each other except for the casual hi's and goodbye's, but sometimes when he sees Eli around he thinks she looks a bit troubled. Be it because she can't get a job or other matters, it strikes him a bit curious. He's willing to lend a ear for her problems, but decides it isn't for the best and chooses to avoid it. [i]- Everett Micheals:[/i] When you put a blunt man with a man of science in the same room, nothing exciting can come out of it. That's pretty much the case here, as listening to these two talk with each other is worse then watching paint dry. Other then that, Gaku think's he's not that bad of a guy, but can be a bit of a nerd sometimes with his 'big academic words' and gets bored because of it. The two don't go out of their way to talk to each other, but will talk every now and then when Gaku's feeling under the weather. [i]- Henry Manteel:[/i] TBD [i]- Isabelle 'Izzie' McKenzie:[/i] The only person in the entire town Gaku is actually friendly with, besides Starr and family. Izzie and Gaku have worked quite a few times together, either Gaku helping out at the Cafe or Izzie at the Inn. Like Eli, Izzie also lives in at the Inn, so the two frequently see each other even out side of work. They sometimes throw cute cheeky remarks at one another, and although he doesn't agree much with her prankster nature, he accepts it. It's the least he can do considering she accepts him a lot better than a lot of the townsfolk do. If Gaku isn't spending his time doing something by himself, he'll probably be seen with Izzie, either working or having a casual chat. [i]- Isis Thorne:[/i] TBD [b]Other[/b] Spends a lot of his time at Flora Falls, Mount Edelweiss, and Glowing Fern Forest. Also has a mean poker face.[/center]
