Name: Abe Yasunori
Age: 20
Nationality: Japanese
Hometown: Kyoto, Japan
Current Residence: Shibuya, Tokyo
Occupation: bartender in a local nightclub
Talents/Skills: Abe loves to paint and sketch. He constantly keeps a sketchbook handy where he draws, and practices his calligraphy. Due to his parents and their beliefs he has had calligraphy training since he was a child. While at first he hated drawing the intricate lines he has since found it to be a calming exercise. He is also very adept at Card tricks, and counting cards in poker
Birth order: First son, third child, youngest
Siblings: He has two older sisters by several years, each with their own families already. He has a very formal relationship with both, having not really grown up with them around. The second oldest sister he has the best relationship with as she has had the most contact with him. Both currently reside in the Kyoto area
Parents: Abe’s parents are some of the few remaining Omyouji still in existence. Claiming to be descended from the two famous Omyouji from long ago they had great plans for Abe. Course Abe wanted none of that and after a year of college ran away from his family and school. This has put him at odds with his parents who wish to disown him, but being as he’s the only male child they cannot.
From the very beginning Abe’s parents wanted him to become their heir to the Omyodo ways figuring that he would be one of the greats. Because of this he has undergone hard training to become an omyoji since his early childhood. He knows how to do the dances, the various different prayers and spells. And how to create the special seals for “sealing” away evil beings.
Prefers to have no contact with his parents. he just wants to live his life as he sees fit, not as someone tells him to.
Significant Others: None at this time.
Relationship skills: Due to his job as a bartender Abe has had to develop some decent relationship skills. He's a decent listener; it's easier to listen to everyone than it is to talk to them when you're behind the bar. But is confident almost to a fault which puts a lot of people off, he can sometimes comes off as arrogant.
Physical Characteristics: Height: 5'9
Weight: 175
Race: Asian (but has some caucasian in his family tree)
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Black
Hair style: Messy, almost always looks like someone gave it a good toss in the morning, the ends of his hair always seem to curl upwards slightly.
Glasses or contact lenses?: None
Skin color: your typical asian light tan/yellow. He may have some caucasian blood in him, but it’s so far gone that it has very little effect on his appearance.
Distinguishing features: Tattoos, Abe has a lot of them. Many of them Taoist/Shinto/Buddhism based. The most prominent is the yin and yang symbol his right shoulder, and a swastika on his left (a swastika is the symbol of good luck in the Buddhist religion.) All of his tattoos are in areas covered by his clothing, and there’s a few he’ll never show you unless you’re on VERY friendly terms with him.
How does he/she dress? If he would stop being such a slob, his dress would seem snappy. Usually some button up shirt, unbuttoned almost to the navel, and some sort of slick vest he wears open. When he doesn’t have to wear slacks for his job he wears his favorite belted pants, usually of a bark color. All this is topped off by a tie that hangs loosely around his neck. If you can catch him at work he actually looks presentable with everything buttoned up and the tie synched tightly around his neck because he works quite a lot, and may get called upon to work at any time his casual and work clothes look a lot alike.
Mannerisms: Abe is active, he doesn’t have time to sit still doing nothing. The only time you might see him sitting still is when he is drawing, or making a killing in a poker game. He’s almost always got a smile on his face and a welcome expression to anyone new. Always willing to chase after a skirt, he’s especially nice and welcoming to any pretty girls he comes across.
Habits: Abe carries three things on him at all times, a mini sketch book he slips in his breast pocket, three pencils of various widths, and a deck of cards. When bored, Abe can always be found sketching in his book; People, animals, or anything that crosses his field of vision. When excited he plays with his deck of cards shuffling, flipping and doing magic tricks.
Health: Abe has been described as too healthy by many. Other than a broken arm he suffered as a child Abe has had no major illness or injury.
Hobbies: Art and cards. He loves playing poker with friends and sketching when alone. When bothered he loves to use his calligraphy skills to create paper “seals” that he then throws at people, yelling things along the lines of “I banish you foul demon!” or “Be sealed evil beast!”
Favorite Sayings: “Life’s no fun unless you make it so.”
Vernacular: Abe speaks Japanese as his first language, English as his second, and knows a smattering of German he speaks infrequently.
Disabilities: none, unless you count having his head up his a**.
Style: High class, He's always wearing the best clothing he can find, but doesn't always wear them correctly. He has a certain vision of what he wants to wear, doesn’t mean he actually puts the effort to meet that vision.
