▫HISTORY:
[ooc; I lazed off and didn’t make it as angsty as it could have been >w>;]
It began with the birth of Shiki, the eldest son and sibling. He did have a beautiful face even as a kid so much so that he was even confused for as a girl many times. Because of this, the other boys around his age often teased him and left him out of their games. The girls, afraid of being bullied by the boys or being excluded, would also just ignore him. He was told to ignore it and just try harder at making friends. So that’s what he tried to do at first but after many failed attempts, it was soon that he was thought of as an annoyance. Because he didn’t want to be of trouble, he allowed himself to be distant from other children and would always only watch on the sidelines. He didn’t mind. It was at least endurable to him but it did feel a bit lonely. Besides, although he was still a four year old child with no friends, he did have his younger brother to look after. His new baby brothers, Haru and Fuyu.
Haru was just like his name, a warm spring. Fuyu was winter which had a sense of purity. Shiki loved making his little brothers laugh and smile. It made it not so lonely anymore. It was one night that they were left alone that something happened. Shiki thought he’d prepare some food for his little brothers. And so, he tried to cook but mistakenly, a fire was started. In fear, he tried to evacuate his brothers first. However, he could only take out one baby at a time and Haru was saved but Fuyu was lost in the flames. It wasn’t as if Shiki didn’t try to save Fuyu. He did run back in to try to save Fuyu but was burned by the flames and taken out by firefighters. His burn wounds were treated in time to prevent any kind of scar. They’re house was saved and only the kitchen and living room were scorched all over. Since their house was only one floor, damage was minimal compared to what it could have been.
His mother was furious that not only had the house suffered damage but one of her sons had died by a fire caused by Shiki. She did try to beat him but the father held her back. Shiki couldn’t blame her, he was, after all, the cause of his brother’s death. It happened to be that that night was the night he turned five years old. Happy Birthday Shiki.
He remained secluded from the other children. The recent incident only encouraged it. But it was when he was walking home from school that a guy had caught his sights on Shiki. He continued the walk home and that was where the man had a talk with Shiki’s father. Reluctantly, he agreed on it, seeing as they were still having some difficulties with their burned portion of their home. That was when Shiki’s modeling career began. That was when more people began to talk to him and more children would also begin to try talking to him. He would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy it. It was a little taste of what he didn’t have when he was a kid.
But on one day when he came to school early, he did figure out what other kids really thought of him. ‘Stuck up, too good for them, only good for asking for goodies’. Those words stung but he kept them in mind as he began to distance himself again from the other kids. That was when his habit began of sleeping in class or sleeping wherever, although he maintained decent grades. Because Shiki began to be the main person to get money in the family, his mother quit working from full time to part time to no time. She was more demanding and irritating, even using the excuse that Shiki owed her for killing Fuyu to get some kind of money from Shiki to do with as she pleased.
She was moody because she was having another child. This was when Shiki was seven that Fuyuko, his baby sister, was born. The delivery was too much for his mother so much so that she was left in a depression. Because of this, his father was concerned for his wife and often neglected the children. By then, Shiki could take care of his siblings on his own and was even more so like an older brother. His manager decided it was time to move over to America and his father agreed. With his manager like his legal guardian, with his father’s approval of course, he would be sent over to America but he did not leave without taking along his brother and sister, Haru and Fuyuko. His father didn’t believe it was a safe environment for any of his children.
And so, he took care of his brother and sister in the States as well, living in beautiful Los Angeles, California. It was here he hoped he could give his brother and sister a better life than back home. He lived in a decent sized home with good security. He prospered in his modeling career here and also was distanced from other kids here, as well. But for some reason, the kids started to give him things even when he didn’t ask for it. He’d voice that he forgot his scissors at home and people would give him a whole bunch, things like that. He would always have to end up giving back a whole bunch of items by the end of the day but it was that year when his modeling career seemed to have a huge boost.
He did some research then to find out what might have been going on and he found out that there was someone previously on his mother’s side that had a superpower. A superpower of attraction. He read into this power a bit and this kind of power, he didn’t know if he really wanted this power. He could get whatever he wanted by looks but it wasn’t as if that was what he wanted. So, he got a tutor until he could try to manage somehow to contain this power or control it by some chance. By age ten, he got the hang of it in where he could flirt or offer certain suggestive influence to be able to use this ability.
The second surprise didn’t come until Shiki’s fourteenth birthday and graduation gift. It was a beautiful black cat that Shiki was surprised with by his eleven year old brother, his eight year old sister, and his manager. It was then that comically, cat ears and a tail popped out. Of course, his sister took it as nothing strange and practically tackled her brother to death, playing and pulling his ears and tail comically, in which he would only be flinching in pain at being handled so roughly by his sister who thought they were fake. It was extremely strange, his manager agreed. The little cat was named Star and once again, Shiki was put on a tutor until he could gain some control of his power. He was also temporarily taking a break from his modeling career with no explanation given to the modeling agency.
His manager, just like a second father concerned for his son, panicked and went all over the place to find out what to do for high school since Shiki had to learn to control his power on the first year he would have been a high schooler. Shiki didn’t think much of it since he had been put on a tutor before but he understood his manager’s frustration if he took it from a father’s point of view. He figured that maybe it would have been nice to have been a normal high schooler and walk around freely without fear of his ears suddenly popping up as cat ears or any such thing. The solution wasn’t found until three years later.
Sky High. His manager discovered this school and was immediately insistent on Shiki joining this school. And so, his manager enrolled Shiki into Sky High at age seventeen. What could await him here?
▫POWERS:
▫▫ Attraction: Ability to attract members of both genders and temporarily get them to do his bidding (similar to Narumi from Gakuen Alice, best way for me to explain it @_@)
▫▫ Cat transformation: able to turn half way into a cat in which he has cat ears and a cat tail but is also able to change into a cat and can speak in the human and cat language
▫LIKES:
▫▫ his family and cat
▫▫ warm honey milk
▫▫ sleeping
▫▫ singing when he’s alone or with his younger siblings
▫▫ red bean mochi
▫DISLIKES:
▫▫ people hurting his family or cat
▫▫ swimming (although he can, he just hates it)
▫▫ vegetables
▫▫ being teased for his feminine appearance
▫▫ being woken up from his sleep
▫▫ working and cooking (though he’s pretty good at cooking and will cook especially for his brother and sister)
▫GOALS:
▫▫ succeed in his modeling career
▫▫ make sure his brother and sister live a good life
▫▫ hopefully makes it through school without too many problems
▫PERSONALITY: Most of the time, he is seen as a very reserved and cool person. Because he’s usually by himself or rarely talking [usually due to him sleeping all the time], he’s seen as a very aloof person. He actually only looks like the ‘cool type’ in appearance rather than personality and in most times, the straight face he keeps is actually how he is. He doesn’t speak much to others mainly because he doesn’t want to and doesn’t have anything to say. He’d rather look out the window at something more interesting than the task at hand which often results in falling asleep in class. This is why he is also deemed a person ‘who works so hard at school that he sleeps at school’ or ‘just a lazy person’. An odd title, ne? That’s not true though it is from lack of sleep that he does sleep at school. He can be perceived as smart however because of his amazingly high grades despite slacking off during classes.
People close to him know and see the other true side to him than others believe. They know he does little to no schoolwork at home and in fact spends a good bit of his time sleeping. Even in school, for some reason they can’t see his lazy side even though he practically sleeps wherever he can. He has been caught hiding in a tree, sleeping, by his friends before during gym class. Sometimes his friends would kick the tree and make him fall. He’d fall, wake up a couple minutes later and then look up at his friends and just lean against the tree and go back to sleep or chat casually with them. That’s just how he is.
He is very protective of those he recognizes as a close friend and of course his siblings. He can, in fact, act very much like a protective older brother at times. However, he does give his friends and siblings space and freedom by not meddling too much with his their life unless he thinks something dangerous could happen to them. He will get off his lazy *ss and do something about it if he thinks something is endangering his friends or family.
Although he is alert and keen on the feelings people feel towards others, he is strangely naïve about love that has to do with him. He doesn’t know if a girl likes him even if the girl says something like: ‘I’ve always seen you from afar. I’ve always liked you’ with a blushing mad face on; he’ll take it like: ‘If you were shy, all you had to do was talk to me. I guess we can be friends’ and he’d say it in his same old straight and blunt face without knowing that the girl actually loved him. He has the face of a Casanova but he still is naïve of love referring to him.
Given his naiveness to matters referring to him, people would have to be direct in saying ‘I love you’. Since he endures very well, he lets the girl off usually with a kiss on the cheek and saying that ‘I apologize but I don’t think I can be the right person for you’. He phrases it in that way to let the girl know she may like him but he doesn’t think he can possibly be right for most people. He also thinks this way because he has a bad reputation in his family and he wouldn’t want a girl to get wrapped up in that. Right after saying that to the girl, he would walk away to a place all by himself and cover his madly blushing face. In truth, he gets embarrassed really easily so he is thankful for his high endurance at not blushing. He hates when his usual calm demeanor is disturbed.
His usual mellow and straight face tends to lighten the mood a little or leave an awkward pause. Sometimes he can be rude just to lighten the mood a bit or to satisfy himself in an attempt to tease someone. He does feel very blessed that he has friends around because he can actually smile his rare smile around them. It makes it feel as if the burdens of some of his memories were not so bad and as heavy as they felt most of the time. For his friends, he will do anything. He will do whatever it takes to protect them even if it means demeaning himself. Although he does have a tendency to be very forgiving to things done to him, he will be very harsh in forgiving things that are done to his friends and family. It’s just part of his nature.

[done on another site with my other charrie ‘Nanashi’]
Ah, the night air was good, a bit chillier than probably liked but very soothing for those who liked colder weather. Everyone was bundled up in jackets, layers of clothing, scarves, anything that kept in body warmth. It was to be expected with the weather, but the people were also running and gathering into hotels or restaurants to escape the cold. It left the streets slightly empty, though the city nightlights were glimmering beautifully in the night. It could be likened to that of a scene of nightlife in Tokyo, perhaps.
It seemed that the streets were quieting down and even the night was beginning to quiet of the animal’s noises, as well. Birds settled in nests and dogs curled up to sleep in their respective homes. However, today roaming the streets would be a peculiar student. Perhaps he was in high school? He looked to be around the age of fourteen of fifteen though he seemed to have a spaced out and cheerful look. He gave off a calm but cheerful aura, unlike the busybody citizens. His actions were very similar to that of a tourist since he looked at everything with interest.
He had medium short blond hair that was messily made to the nape of his neck. His skin was a peachy color and although he was cold, he wore a very thin long coat with fur on the hood. He wore a skin tight sleeveless black shirt and ripped blue jeans, appearing to have come from a club or bar but he was, again, only appearing of the age of fourteen. He had a cheeky smile on his face and he didn’t seem like the type to have ever had a serious look on his face. His right eye was covered by an eye patch while his visible left was a crimson sunset color. He was so different than a normal Japanese person.
He roamed around the streets until he reached a prominent hotel area, the Cerulean Tower. The blond boy whistled slightly at its height. He hummed a slight tune as he stepped inside. He was interested in this person he was set up with. Hmm…he didn’t quite think he even knew the person who invited him to go to this blind date. He wondered what this person would be like. He hoped he would be fun and would be able to tolerate him. Especially speaking if something…unfortunate were to happen..
He stepped onto the elevator, taking off his coat since it was warmer inside and holding it in his arms. He waited awhile for the elevator since the floor he was supposedly to meet this person on was right near the top! He was optimistic to get off after so many floors of listening to elevator music. He checked a slip of paper he received again while walking down the halls at the room numbers. As soon as he saw a maid, she seemed to be expecting him.
“Come right this way, sir. You’ve been expected.” She said politely while asking him to follow. He began to move toward the room with the young lady until a room door was opened. She bowed after hearing a deep sounding voice. He walked into the room and waved with a slight tilt of his blond head, seeming friendly. “Hey!” He said cheerfully and casually. Very different from perhaps how other people would go about a blind date in a fancy hotel.

Ah, the night air was good, a bit chillier than probably liked but very soothing for those who liked colder weather. Everyone was bundled up in jackets, layers of clothing, scarves, anything that kept in body warmth. It was to be expected with the weather, but the people were also running and gathering into hotels or restaurants to escape the cold. It left the streets slightly empty, though the city nightlights were glimmering beautifully in the night. It could be likened to that of a scene of nightlife in Tokyo, perhaps.
It seemed that the streets were quieting down and even the night was beginning to quiet of the animal’s noises, as well. Birds settled in nests and dogs curled up to sleep in their respective homes. However, today roaming the streets would be a peculiar student. Perhaps he was in high school? He looked to be around the age of fourteen of fifteen though he seemed to have a spaced out and cheerful look. He gave off a calm but cheerful aura, unlike the busybody citizens. His actions were very similar to that of a tourist since he looked at everything with interest.
He had medium short blond hair that was messily made to the nape of his neck. His skin was a peachy color and although he was cold, he wore a very thin long coat with fur on the hood. He wore a skin tight sleeveless black shirt and ripped blue jeans, appearing to have come from a club or bar but he was, again, only appearing of the age of fourteen. He had a cheeky smile on his face and he didn’t seem like the type to have ever had a serious look on his face. His right eye was covered by an eye patch while his visible left was a crimson sunset color. He was so different than a normal Japanese person.
He roamed around the streets until he reached a prominent hotel area, the Cerulean Tower. The blond boy whistled slightly at its height. He hummed a slight tune as he stepped inside. He was interested in this person he was set up with. Hmm…he didn’t quite think he even knew the person who invited him to go to this blind date. He wondered what this person would be like. He hoped he would be fun and would be able to tolerate him. Especially speaking if something…unfortunate were to happen..
He stepped onto the elevator, taking off his coat since it was warmer inside and holding it in his arms. He waited awhile for the elevator since the floor he was supposedly to meet this person on was right near the top! He was optimistic to get off after so many floors of listening to elevator music. He checked a slip of paper he received again while walking down the halls at the room numbers. As soon as he saw a maid, she seemed to be expecting him.
“Come right this way, sir. You’ve been expected.” She said politely while asking him to follow. He began to move toward the room with the young lady until a room door was opened. She bowed after hearing a deep sounding voice. He walked into the room and waved with a slight tilt of his blond head, seeming friendly. “Hey!” He said cheerfully and casually. Very different from perhaps how other people would go about a blind date in a fancy hotel.
