Hobbies:Anime - Action! Adventure! Danger! ..For someone else. So many things to enjoy, he loves to watch an inordinate amount: imagining what it'd be like to be one of those super powered heros zooming around and saving the world. Such fun it would surely be! In addition, he loves to talk about it all with anyone who will engage with him...clubs, conventions, afternoons on the couch, he'll happily be there.
Hiking - If he's not watching or thinking about pretend space adventures, fighting evildoers, or poorly doodling pictures of such, he actually very much likes the outdoors, walking through the woods, camping, hiking, and generally being surrounded by nature. It's not a desire to be alone, by any means. Better with friends! And a 'friend' might just be somebody he happens to say hi to, and then keeps talking.
Music - Making it, specifically. While he is not a prodigy or anything of the sort, he is passably good at string instruments, primarily a viola. He is part of a student orchestra, and likes participating in that, and sometimes just making stuff up with friends.
Fitness - While he's always been a fit and active kid, the actual interest in truly being so came about from the desire to be better prepared for the dangers of his new home. He can easily be found running, biking, or trying new athletic ventures.
Virtues:Assume the Best of Everyone - Without cause to think otherwise, he will always assume everyone he meets is a good, just person, deserving of respect, consideration, and friendship. He'll happily strike up a conversation with anyone at all, happy to cheer up, help, or just listen.
Just Do It - He is not prone to inaction. If there's something he needs to do, he presses forward to accomplish that goal, confident that he can accomplish anything he sets his mind to. He's taken to heart the constant refrain in TV: "Believe in yourself, hero!" and, by god, he does. And, perhaps amazingly, it is not the sort of headstrong mentality that pushes one to do far too much. He's not going to charge into something, confident of victory, just because he's there. Confidence tempered by the awareness that to accomplish anything, you must know what you're doing.
Count on Me! - He wants to help! If he makes a promise, he will do everything he can to keep that promise...as long as it's not telling a secret. He wants to be the friend who can always be turned to for help.
Flaws:Mistrust is Earned - The downside to assuming the best of everyone is that it is incredibly easy to convince him of numerous lies. He would make a terrible guard, and can't keep secrets well at all.
Oblivious - Also relating to his trusting nature, he is very unlikely to notice anything untoward going on around him if he's not expecting it. He sees things, people, motions, but it will probably not register as a problem until it is much too late (or never, if it doesn't affect him).
Nosy - He wants to know. He needs to know. And so may be found to ask far too many questions. It's nigh impossible to keep him quiet if there's something he's curious about...no matter what it is, and whom he will be asking. Not the kind of person to have around quiet, need-to-know places, that's for sure.
