Kousuke Asazuki/Spiral Alive/ No Reserve
Nickname: Clair
Age: 20
Personal LJ/DW: don’t have one
Method of Contact: spamy3@yahoo.com
Characters Played: None
Character Info:
Name: Kousuke Asazuki
Age: 15
Canon: Spiral Alive
Pull Point: Chapter 8 right after “I’ll become the world’s fastest frog!”
Background Info:
History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral:_The_Bonds_of_Reasoning
Personality:
Kousuke Asazuki is basically trying to look cool and smart whenever he gets the chance. To do this he keeps bringing up the fact he has defeated a Giant Anteater and does a lot of sort of long explanations for things where a simple sentence could have sufficed.
At this young age he is clearly brattier than in the main series of Spiral the Bonds of Reasoning. He is more working out where he does stand. He can analyze information; he is smart, above average. That is above average smarts unless it concerns the other Blade Children, who tend to be smarter than most normal humans. He is very defensive about his intelligence and his coolness, hence the previously mentioned anteater.
In 13 chapters, Kousuke has been kidnapped twice by Kiyotaka. He dislikes Kityotaka and the fact he is taken to Ryoko, his “not” crush on the first time. He is constantly saying stupid things to her that come off as him being mean. As soon as she leaves he is quick to regret it but he is rash in those actions and can’t seem to change them. That being said it is also rare for him to look neutral, mainly he just seems bothered/annoyed. That could just be due to the fact he is being forced to follow orders from Kiyotaka.
When forced to he will kill for self-preservation. He is forced to what with his curse and the fact multiple people are always after him and the other Blade Children to eradicate them. He prefers to do kill with a knife or switchblade. He is not as sadistic as he will be in two years about killings however.
And that is fifteen-year-old Kousuke in a nutshell.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Magician
Justification: Kousuke has to take action because if he didn’t it would cause the death of himself or someone he cared for, his power comes from the fact he can fight and think things through. He has some confidence but at this point in his life he still has some uncertainty to it. He is searching for confidence in his early years. Kousuke very much has individuality by being an incurable butt monkey, once he looks cool he will have something terrible happen to him in a silly way (i.e. door in the face). Strength of will comes from the fact he is constantly fighting for his right to live. Trickery and resourcefulness come from the fact he can trick the people with a toy Taser before stabbing them. He has to be aware of everything; the only thing that gets passed him are a few facts and Kiyotaka. The way he talks to Ryouko covers the immaturity, plus his bratty attitudes. He no doubt feels every so often that his trust is misplaced in Kiyotaka at times, aka when Kiyotaka kidnaps him.
Samples:
First Person Sample: http://glowystarbox.dreamwidth.org/272.html?thread=21520#cmt21520
Third Person Sample:
Kousuke glanced around at the green tinted street that, if he wasn’t mistaken had coffins ominously all around. Looked to the right. Looked to the left. He was trying to figure out if this was a better place to be rather than on the bike with that Kiyotaka Bastard-in a damn frog suit- about to go down a hill just after informing Kousuke that his seeing was decreased by his stupid outfit.
Kousuke sighed. Even if this placed looked suspiciously like some sort of green hell there was no Kiyotaka to drag him off to some place. The only worry was if Ryouko had been forced to help out with that dangerous mission he had been working on. The only thing he knew for sure: no getting back to that any time soon.
Re: Kousuke Asazuki/Spiral Alive/ No Reserve
PENDING.
We feel that Kousuke's personality section should be a bit stronger. Please comment with a revised personalty section that expands on the various aspects of Kousuke's personality. Some items we would like to see in a revised personality section include:Keep in mind these are just suggestions, so feel free to expand in a different direction if you feel necessary!
Re: Kousuke Asazuki/Spiral Alive/ No Reserve
~When he is away from Kiyotaka he is usually trying to just sound smart and cool. He can analyze and shows off this skill when given the opportunity. He also has given weird answers to Ryouko as in he tried to tell her that Rio was a zashikiwarishi, to avoid the question as to who Rio actually is. He also laments about being unreliable to himself that was stated aloud and in thought. Also, if someone does something ridiculous he will facepalm.
~In the original series he more just runs with the insults as opposed to lashing out to it. He stands up for himself more as a 17 year old, which is how he kept going back to his anteater story when 14. He constantly looks annoyed unless he is thinking. He just tries harder for people to acknowledge his analytical skills, smarts, and competent.
~He kills them before they kill him. It is his daily life. Kousuke does it for survival. By this point it is second nature and it is worth noting he was also kicked out of school at 14 for assaulting a teacher.
