• What does their bedroom look like?

He has one school uniform with two cardigans he wears over it and then the winter uniform. He tries to cut back on school clothes so he can go all out for casual clothes, since he is into VK. He can fit most of his clothes into the closet as a result. Under the window is his bed, and at the foot of his bed between his bed and the wall, is a cube bookshelf. On top of it and in it are all sorts of different souvenirs and memorabilia from back when he lived in a million different places, and across the room is a dresser area for all of his VK clothes and accessories. Next to it is a small bookshelf for CDs and he leans his guitar against that. He only has an acoustic guitar, but he's saving for a really nice electric.

  • Do they have any daily rituals?

Every night or almost every night he gargles with lemon water. He also does voice exercises daily as well, which he does in the morning. Sometimes he'll gargle after that if his voice is feeling weak, but gargling usually happens in the evening before he goes to bed to sort of help soothe all the damage that happens during the day. By all accounts it barely does anything, but it's superstition at this point that keeps him doing it.

  • Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

He lifts weights, but that is about it. He does it to keep his arms toned since he's not super into being muscular or anything. It's mainly so he can look good in sleeveless shirts, LOL.

  • What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

He would see if he could get whatever someone else is making. Like be all, "You making enough for two in there?" And if the person in the kitchen wasn't making food, he'd shoo them out. But he doesn't COOK. That's Sougo's skill. Instead he just heats stuff up in the microwave, so it really depends on if he could manage to get to the microwave or not. If he can, he doesn't bother shooing whoever is in there out.

  • Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

Hygiene-wise he's not any more or less cleanly than he was in middle school. Which was pristine. Having sex with practically anyone who offers makes you wash religiously. And often. You never know when you're going to take your pants off. As for cleanliness room-wise, he keeps things neat and tidy. He dusts often and keeps the place from being a pigsty, since when he was in middle school he racked up trash like you wouldn't believe. He is also somewhat organized. The trick is to get things where you want them and then just never move them. It's really his clothes that give him the most trouble since he's constantly using them a lot, but he has a distinct place for shoes and accessories.

  • Eating habits and sample daily menu

He really likes lemons and lemon-flavored things. Lemon drops are his favorite, and he likes lemon cookies, too. His sample daily menu probably consists of eggs in the morning, a humble bento in at lunch plus yakisoba bread from the school store, and then a really nice dinner at home. And then he eats lemon drops whenever he can.

  • Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time.

His favorite way to waste time is to talk to his friends and play guitar and sing. He doesn't see his time as worth anything tbh, so he doesn't see wasting time as wasting time. It would be different if he cared more about school and getting a good job.

  • Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging.

Favorite indulgence is probably lemon drops. Even more than sex. Sex was more of a way of acting out and he can live without it. He still sometimes misses it, but he's in such a different head space now than when he was in middle school, that he recognizes it as unhealthy. Instead he just masturbates a lot. And he's not too guilty about indulgences, because he doesn't think life is worth restraining yourself all the time. In this way he disagrees with Sousuke a lot. (And agrees with Sougo.)

  • Makeup?

He likes makeup purely for VK purposes, so definitely dark and heavy eyeshadow with dark lips. He's not very good at makeup, though, so he usually lets Fuume do him up and goes over to his house before they go to Shibuya on the weekends.

  • Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

One of his biggest anxieties is not knowing what to do in the future, and he never brings it up or never talks to anyone about it. He says he wants to sing and make money that way, but that's actually a lie. He actually has no clue and it terrifies him. But he'll never admit it. He also harbors a lot of anger towards his father that he doesn't mention or bring up, either. He can't have a normal conversation with his father, and Sougo and Sousuke are wise on it, but neither has really approached him about it. All of Sora's neuroses he would not recognize at all. He probably also lives vicariously through Seiya's successes and Fuume's dreams because he feels he has none of his own.

  • Intellectual pursuits?

Philosophy is the only thing he really seems interested in. Anything else is boring. But when he was a kid, he was really into academics, especially math. He's still really good at math when he pushes himself. It's still the one thing Sousuke has helped him with. Sousuke is a huge math nerd and pretty much taught himself with supplemental literature that he shared with Sora. Sougo likes reading to a certain degree and helped him with that, but neither of them really learned really difficult kanji so it holds them back a lot.

  • Favorite book genre?

He is very bad at reading. He reads anything that still has hiragana over the difficult kanji...so basically books for kids in grade school. He reads Shounen Jump and stuff like that. Action comics are something he really likes, as well as shoujo for some reason. (He has a huge complex in relation to romance and affection)

  • Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

He's not the type of person who thinks about all the different labels orientations can have. In fact he figured sex was just a normal thing until he met Seiya and realized that was not the same for everyone. He doesn't see a difference between bi/pan, and even knowing Maki it's hard for him to get out of the mentality that there's only two different genders you can be attracted to. Heterosexuality is also something he really doesn't understand because he views sex as separate from attraction and he can't imagine being picky about who to have sex with in regards to gender. To him it's normal to be attracted to everyone. He understands Seiya's "no attraction to anyone" better than Sousuke's "attraction only to women." There's still a part of him that assumes Sousuke's just a prude and only wants to have sex with people he's dating and only wants to date women because society deems that more appropriate.

  • Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)

None whatsoever.

  • Biggest and smallest short term goal?

Biggest short term goal is staying together with Seiya, smallest is getting a passing grade in math.

  • Biggest and smallest long term goal?

He doesn't have any big long term goals, but his small long term goal is to learn to play guitar.

  • Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress.

He has a couple of non-VK outfits for casual-wear, but for the most part he wears pajamas once he's home from school. And then when he goes out he wears VK clothes on weekends in Shibuya and those few casual outfits for when he's on dates or on outings with non-VK friends. As for rituals, he doesn't really have any. He goes to Fuume's house on the weekends when they go to Shibuya to get his makeup and hair done since he's bad at doing it himself. And when he's not in VK he wears his VK mullet in a tiny ponytail.

  • Favorite beverage?

Pepsi, probably. He probably likes to drink, too, but he doesn't do it often since he's usually at home.

  • What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

He probably thinks about Seiya and masturbates to be honest. Also he probably thinks about what he's going to sing for school or goes over guitar chords.

  • Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?

Not really.

  • Turn-ons? Turn-offs?
  • Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

He'd probably doodle his friends very badly a few times, and given enough time, he would try to color in the whole paper with graphite.

  • How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

He's fairly organized. He has a place for everything and as long as he doesn't touch it, it stays nice and neat. And that's pretty much it. He does have a habit of holding onto things that have strong memories attached to them, even if they don't make sense. One of his souvenirs from when he lived in Kyoto is a bottle of ramune because he and Fuume would go and get ramune after school before they went back to his place to have sex.

  • Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

Math is the only thing he's really good at, but he's not passionate about it or anything so he doesn't really do anything with it outside of schoolwork.

  • How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

He doesn't like to think about the future too much. His talk with his teachers about future career plans was an incredibly stressful period of time for him and he probably was super irritable for like a week.

  • Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?

No, and no. He wants to play guitar and get good at singing and help Fuume with his band, but that's it. He doesn't have anything else.

  • What is their biggest regret?
  • Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?

His best friend is definitely Fuume, and to another degree Seiya. Fuume has been his friend the longest and stood by him and forced him to get a cellphone so they could continue to talk even after he moved away. As far as enemies go, there isn't really anyone he considers his enemy. He doesn't consider Kazumi an enemy, either, all things considering. He just flat out doesn't like Kazumi. (Anymore)

  • Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

When bad stuff happens to him, he sort of just shuts down. He falls back into a pattern of "Of course this would happen to me. I can't even have one nice thing." It really depends on the situation, but his immediate reaction is to stress about it and figure out a solution, but the long term reaction is to wallow.

  • Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

Again, he'd probably shut down. He wouldn't show it as easily as an extrapersonal disaster, but he feels these even worse than the latter. He's used to things not going his way, but when it comes to death or loss, he doesn't really know how to deal. He'd laugh it off, sure, but it would continue to bother him a lot. Again, it depends on the situation.

  • Most prized possession?

His most prized possession is his guitar. They found it with his father's stuff that never gets used, and Sougo said he should have it. Sora loves it, though there's a part of it that thinks of it as "This is my father's, but it is now mine, and I deserve this for the hell he put me through."

  • Thoughts on material possessions in general?

He gets attached to things really easily. When he was moving around all he really had that was stable were his possessions, so he tends to be super protective of them. If anything happened to them, he'd FREAK out because they've stayed with him longer than any of his friends have.

  • Concept of home and family?

He really values his brothers a lot. Like his possessions, they were the only stable thing in his life. His father was always busy and away, so he doesn't feel anything for him. As a result, family is super important to him, at least the family that sticks around.

  • Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)

He's a very private person surprisingly. He's selective in what he lets people know about him. He can talk for hours about surface level things, and that's how he makes so many friends, but when it comes to anything deeper than that, it takes a long time before he's willing to share any of that. For instance, Fuume and Seiya are the only people who know about the yakuza thing. And only a select few know he's bisexual. Whereas everyone knows he's into VK and rock music. It also depends on the person. Masao is very open and talks about TMI a lot, so Sora is a little more open with him as a result.

  • What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?

He doesn't really consider anything to be a waste of time. If it's something important to you, it's worthy of your time no matter what it is. He does think that cellphone games and flash games are a waste of time, though. Any mindless repetitive task is a waste of time. Including masturbation. But that doesn't stop him from doing it a lot.

  • What makes them feel guilty?

He has a healthy amount of guilt, and it's for things that should make him guilty. When he is mean for no reason, or when he thinks something rude about a person like in regards to their appearance, etc. And he can feel really guilty about letting friendships go, but he's so used to it at this point that it's only when he knows he could be doing more to help save it and it's ridiculous to not try and save it.

  • Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?

A mixture of both. He views decisions as problems to be solved. So if it's a decision about how to react to a situation he can be very analytical and reasonable about it. But when it comes to actual life-changing decisions he's incredibly flippant and just goes with whatever feels easiest at the time.

  • What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?

Sex. Or in his case masturbation. He also gets energized being around his friends, as well. So hanging out in Shibuya, or going to karaoke. Things like that.

  • Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?

Neither. He's incredibly adjusted, although that could change as he gets older and realizes he didn't do much with his life. If he has insecurities that he decides to store away and not talk through, he will surely form an inferiority complex.

  • How misanthropic are they?
  • Hobbies?
  • How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?
  • Religion?
  • Superstitions or views on the occult?
  • Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?
  • If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?
  • How do they express love?
  • If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?
  • Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?
