Vulkan — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Katsuro Takuma
Age: 18
Birthday: 21st of May
Year level: 12 
Sexuality: Hetero 
Club (if any):  Student Council

Disabilities (if any): Burns to the right side of his face, although skin grafts have made them almost unnoticeable. His right eye is completely ruined, and he chooses to wear an eyepatch to make up for it. He is also missing his little finger and ring finger on his right hand, This doesn’t faze him very much. He learned to write with his left anyway. He has a slight limp in his left leg as well. They don't affect his daily life much, although they do cause him to be quite clumsy at times. He doesn't particularly care about that either.

Job/occupation (if any): N/A (although hes looking to change that)

Appearance: A boy of approximately 6’2,  with jet black hair that is cropped short. His remaining eye is a vivid purple colour. The skin grafts on the right side of his face are ever so slightly paler than the rest of his face, although they are not visible unless they are observed closely. He also has several small scars on the right side of is face, but they, again, are hard to distinguish. He wears a black eyepatch over his ruined eye. His right arm and hand have skin grafts too, although the scarring is considerably more prominent there. He is fairly thin and dounst have a great deal of muscle on his body, with his features being somewhat sharp.

Personality: Katsuro is the sort of person you just cant dislike. He is always cheerful, polite and helpful to just about anyone he meets. Unfortunately, he isn’t very good at the being helpful part. He has only been at the school for about a year and a half, but he has already gained a reputation as someone as someone who you should not share your problems with, as he will end up making them worse with his “Help”. He is secretly and painfully aware of this, but puts on a normal face to hide it. Hes also quite a avid shipper in the school, which, with the aforementioned skills, goes about as well as you expect. He is cheerfully oblivious to the fact that people might not want to end up together, having a very black and white view of romance. Despite this, most people consider him a delight to be around, despite the fact he doesn't have any good friends. 
Hes never had a girlfriend either, although he does have a fair few admirers for his cheerfulness and the fact that he wears an eyepatch for actual medical reasons instead of just wanting to look mysterious.

 His main hobbies include reading, playing video games and eating sweet things. He also likes to write short stories, although he keeps the last hobby secret from other people due to being slightly embarrassed about their quality. Hes also quite a good cook, despite only bothering to make desserts. His diet composes of sugar, meat and not much else. 
He also has a extreme dislike of hospitals and other medical environments. He can go inside them, but he quickly becomes jumpy and generally starts to make stupid excuses for leaving within the first ten minutes. After thirty, he becomes rather stressed and even snappish. 

Backstory: Katsuro's backstory...is not a happy one.

He was born to a turbulent household, with his mother and father in an unhappy marriage even before his birth, of which his arrival into the world did not help. His first four years of life are remembered as little more than a unpleasant haze. He has no idea what they argued about, and has decided that it is best if he never does find out. The only happy memories he can remember was when he learned to read at age three. 

Two weeks before his sixth birthday, his mother left, allowing custody to pass to his father without any opposition. He distinctly remembers his father breaking the news to him over a round of chocolate milkshakes. His father then raised him on his own despite having a low paying job. It was this time that he devloped a taste for sweet things, as treats were a luxury that he could rarely afford. However, his father managed to get a higher paying job at an insurance firm, and things began to look up.

Unfortunately, it didn't. When he was thirteen, a gas leak in his housing block resulted in an explosion, killing four people, his father included. Katsuro was burned over his face and torso, with a splinter damaging his right eye and two of his fingers being burned very badly. When he finally woke up in hospital, the medics had removed his damaged fingers and eye after infection began to set in, leaving him alone, half blind and scared.

Since then, he has been passed between foster families and orphanages, with several families looking to adopt him, but none following through. His mother remarried and doesn't want anything to do with him. 

He was sent to the academy a year and a half ago once it was decided he needed a good education, and has loved every minute of it. He cant understand why some people might not like being at the academy. He hasnt got any good friends, but most of the people he knows like him anyway for his cheerful attitude. 

Notes: He is completely fine with people mentioning his missing eye and scars, and actively encourages people to say whatever they like about them. However, mention the limp in his leg makes him go extremely quiet, and can even get incredibly angry if the subject is pressed. When hes sad, he eats ice cream. Lots of it.

@Preacher

I came on literally as you posted that @Vocab

Hes pretty much right though. Cloning and genetic engineering are being worked on, but theres nothing to write home about yet. Although if you make a character involving one of these things i might be persuaded to let it by.

As for factions...

The new order are the government of this world, and...well...arent the nicest people around. First OOC post and the IC should give you more info on that.

THe nexus are the most respected and widespread resistance faction. They are by far the only one though.

The lost are gangsters. Simple as that. Nothing criminal goes on in the city without them having a hand in it. They have the sense to remain neutral however.

Finally, the Cabal are the mysterious financiers and leaders of the former united resistance, known as "Utopia." Since...Utopia screwed something up very badly, as the first OOC post can describe, they have disappeared, with the New Order telling people that they are dead.

Another little thing about scouts and stuff. They dont just take technology. Anything that can tell them about old world culture is taken back as well. This includes books, music and even films. Yes, you can use a pop culture reference or two here.

The New Order like to put the message across that their civilization is an improvement over the last one. Therefore, the works found in the wastelands are screened and edited first to make the old world look...not great. They go as far as to make the old world look like an unimagniable hellhole, but they change bits here and there. Subtly.

 Old war films and books are quite popular with the new order, as they barely need to edit them. This results in them being fairly popular in the city. 

The lost make a MINT selling unedited stuff that they manage to steal.
