Are y'all accepting? I didn't notice anything saying that the RP was closed, so I hope I'm not makin' an ass of myself here.
Some X-Rays of Isamu's hands:
General appearance:
Height/Weight: 170cm/59 kg (5'7", 130 pounds). His feet are syndactylized nearly identically to his hands.
Name: Isamu Tanaka
Age: 18
Grade: 3rd year
Disability: Ectrodactyly, commonly known as "Lobster Claw Syndrome"....for obvious reasons
Personality: Isamu is a very friendly person, owing to his seclusion for most of his life. He's quick to trust, quick to befriend, and quick to forgive. He holds the people in his life near and dear to him, and tries to make new friends wherever possible. However, he's not nearly as close to most people as he likes to think, and while he's generally good at reading people, he misses some important cues sometimes. He likes to crack jokes, sometimes with a somewhat dark nature to them, but he holds no prejudices or aversion to general society. Since being at Yamaku, he's gotten used to the stares, and occasionally snaps his "claws" at people he notices staring to freak them out. In class, he's diligent and hard-working, and can be described as a teacher's pet.
Background: Ectrodactyly. A condition often referred to as "Lobster claw syndrome" by people who are aware of its existence, due to the...unique appearance it causes in those who suffer from it. The condition is congenital, but no family history of it exists. Isamu...just got unlucky. Some mutation occurred while his mother was pregnant, and now he has one finger-like structure and a thumb on each hand. There is significant fusion (syndactyly) in the finger he does have.
Due to his condition, Isamu's parents home-schooled him. He knew that he was strange, and his home-schooling was voluntary. His life was relatively normal, as is the case for many "lobstermen." Despite appearances, Isamu retains most of the utility of his hand, and has a driver's license, as well as an interest in origami. When he reached high school age, his parents told him about a school where he could fit in, develop some independence, and make friends. Since he was home-schooled, Isamu's only friends were his parents and his cat. Also, because his parents had their hands full home-schooling Isamu and working, they never had another child. At least, that's the official story. Mr. Tanaka suffered an incident at work which brutally damaged his hips and legs, as well as...eliminating his ability to reproduce. His mother has had many extra-marital boyfriends, sanctioned by her husband. Isamu has even met several of these men, and they have been known to contribute to his schooling as well.
Of course, given the choice to go out into the world, Isamu readily accepted, and has been at Yamaku for a few years now. The reason he is a year older than other students is because his home-schooling was somewhat delayed in order to prepare him fully for the world at large.
Other info: Isamu is skilled at origami (his way of flipping the world the bird), natively speaks English (his parents taught him both languages) and borderline genius at science and math, largely due to his homeschooling. Has a reputation as a philanderer, though when this is mentioned, he will blush pretty badly and try to justify the rumors. Most of which are, in fact, true.
