School/Occupation: Destiny City University (College, accepts all ages). Information about schools can be found in the Tips below the form! If your character does not go to school (or goes to school but also has a job) you can instead fill out their 'Occupation'! If they do not attend school and do not have a job, please just fill out 'N/A'. Please see the Tips below the form for information on what occupations are allowed!
Hobbies: What does your character do outside of school/work during their civilian life? This should be an activity that they do on a regular basis, and should be something they could reasonably do in the setting and within their financial means. At least two hobbies are required, but up to five are welcome. Each hobby should be described with at least two sentences. Hobbies should be something that can encourage roleplay or be used to inspire roleplay, however players are allowed to have solitary hobbies as well.
Example:
Reading -- Matt enjoys reading fantasy and science fiction books. He’s usually overworked and physically exhausted from his day to day life, but reading is a stress free, low effort task that allows him to escape into other worlds. He is always looking for the next best book, and loves to support local authors. He has attended book releases and has a podcast where he reviews and recommends a few books a week.
Cooking exotic foods
Learning new languages
Playing soccer aka football
Caring for his animals/pets
Travelling. Travels with his family due to the family business.
Virtues: These are positive aspects about your character's personality that affect them on a daily basis, and are things your character could be praised and admired for. These traits shouldn’t be too specific or only manifest in specific situations (such as ‘likes animals’), shouldn’t be overpowered (such as ‘Perfect’), and shouldn’t be based on their physical appearance (such as ‘pretty’). Virtues are things that are directly related to how your character behaves. Traits should be balanced, so all profiles need an equal number of Virtues and Flaws and should not contradict each other.
- Passionate/Romantic? Intense. A bit too much?
- Sensitive
- Forthright; raw, bluntly honest, truthful, candid to the point of being brutal. Will not mince words and prefers honesty and directness over politeness. Will not beat around the bush.
- Protective; maybe a bit over-protective at times. Loyal. Cares strongly.
Example:
Outgoing -- Matt is an outgoing guy. He's always the life of the party, and loves to socialize. He is always eager to make new friends, and he isn’t afraid to try new things. His social battery never seems to deplete, and his kind and carefree demeanor makes him easy to be around. He is always enthusiastic and gives everything his best effort.
Flaws: These are negative aspects about your character's personality that affect them on a daily basis, and are things your character could be disliked or criticized. These traits shouldn’t be too specific or only manifest in specific situations (such as ‘hates kids’), shouldn’t be based on fears (such as ‘afraid of the dark’), and shouldn’t be based on anything that manifests physically (such as ‘clumsy’). Phobias and illnesses (physical or mental) are not viable flaws. Flaws are things that are directly related to how your character behaves. Traits should be balanced, so all profiles need an equal number of Virtues and Flaws and should not contradict each other.
- Hot-tempered - Ren has a horrible temper and he knows it. His anger is triggered easily when under stress or when someone is in his way. He deals with his temper and tries to cool off by drinking (and has become relatively tolerant of alcohol), yelling at others, getting into fights to physically beat people, and driving recklessly fast. It's also suspected that he may have turned to drugs from time to time, but he's never been caught at it.
- Aggressive; physically violent. Very physical
- Dissolute; relaxed in morals. Drinks. Black market; poaches animals
- Contemptuous; holds grudges
Example:
Forgetful -- Matt can be overenthusiastic and often bites off more than he can chew. He will agree to obligations or plans and completely forget that he’s made a commitment. He can come across as fickle and flaky because it’s never guaranteed that he’ll actually show up. He tends to forget names, dates, and other important things regularly and needs to be frequently reminded about important things. It is easy for him to become distracted and he often jumps from one thing to the next; he can come across as careless and negligent.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Hair and eye colors cannot change from civilian to powered form, nor can tattoos or piercings. If your character has a tattoo as a civilian it will appear on the powered art, though will have a glamour to prevent people who have seen both from identifying civilian identities. Hairstyles can change between civilian and powered form; only Corrupted Senshi have vastly different hair between civilian and powered forms (their hair grows extensively in length!) Unnatural hair and eye color are perfectly fine, and there is no need to say they use hair dye or wear contacts - your character is free to have been born with blue hair if you want. Genetic heterochromia is allowed, but please consider that this is still considered an oddity in our game environment; you are free to play with it but we encourage players to be considerate of this fact! If your character is intended to have different colored eyes due to injury, please make sure you have done adequate research and include relevant information when you post a quest, or PM the shop mule, The Space Cauldron, for help! Because civilian art isn’t required for play, this part of the form will be helpful in making sure others know how your character appears if you don’t yet have art for them. Please make sure you are describing your character's civilian appearance! If they are an alien (such as a Vanguardian or Deep Space Senshi) or a youma/half youma, the below information should only describe them as they appear while in their 'human glamour'. You can describe their true, unglamoured appearance in the appropriate powered section of their quest!
Eyes: Color, shape. Reddish brown (mahogany? Terra cotta?)
Hair: Color, style, accessories. You can post references or style words! Tousled brown hair; actually black, but dyed?
Face: Shape, features -- Does your character have a round or oval or heart-shaped face, freckles, big ears or not; this is just to describe their face!
Skin Tone: If possible, a hex code may be helpful for the artist’s purposes, here! Somewhat sun-tanned skin
Body Type: Are they tall, short, muscular, curvy, lithe, etc.? Tall and on the muscular side, but not incredibly bulky; mesomorph 182.88 cm (6' 0")
Clothes: If you are getting student art, your character will be drawn in the school uniform. If you are getting a civilian outfit, this will discuss the general style of your character! This doesn’t have to be the only type of outfit your character wears, but filling out this part of the form can be helpful for others to imagine what your character looks like.

Name: [img.photobucket.com] Ren'ai Koi WakahisaNicknames/Alias: Ren
Birthday: June 19th, 1990
Age: 18
Western Zodiac: Gemini
Chinese Symbol: Metal Horse
Height: 182.88 cm (6' 0")
Weight: ??.? kg (??? lbs)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Tousled brown hair, reddish-brown (mahogany?) eyes, and somewhat sun-tanned skin
Class: 3-D
Family Trade: (Black-Market Animal Dealing) Illegal Poaching, Hunting, and Selling of Endangered, Rare, and Protected Animal Species and Related Goods
History: Constantly uprooted due to his family trade, Ren was born in Tokyo, Japan where his father worked in the black market. However, whenever times were hard and pickings slim, the Wakahisa family packed up and moved. They traveled all over the world in search of exotic and rare animals. The fact that they hardly ever stayed in one place for too long also made it easier for his family to get by with their illegal business while going undetected by law enforcement in various countries. In this way, Ren's father (and, by extension, Ren,) came to have many various connections and friends, if a bit on the shady side.
Somewhat immature compared to other seniors, Ren is not burdened by the responsibility of the upper class students due to his family’s position in Class D. As his older brother is expected to take on their trade after their father, Ren has no reason to take his work seriously. Still, for the sake of his personal interest in the family trade, he helps out his father, Sadao (meaning ‘decisive man’), and older brother, Taro (meaning ‘great son’ and only given to the first son), when he can.
It can be tough for him not to hold his brother in contempt, however, as their father enjoys playing favorites and makes it clear that Ren is not his. This is all the more hard on Ren when coupled with the fact that he was very close to his mother and she died when he was young. Though the true nature and specific details regarding her passing have remained a mystery to those not part of the Wakahisa family, the younger son had always blamed his father for her death. As a result, Ren is not on very good terms with either his father or his older brother and is somewhat jealous of his older brother's close relationship with their father. He ends up living alone for months on end while the pair are out on trips together, but given his feelings toward them, he's grown to enjoy the time to himself rather than resent it.
Personality: Casual. Masculine and typical guy. Prone to mocking others and making a spectacle of them in public in order to hide his own insecurities. At the same time, though, he is bluntly honest and truthful when it comes to his opinion on others and will not mince words nor hold back. He highly believes in honesty over politeness and values trust deeply in any relationship. For this reason he makes a very loyal friend and while he considers few people to be his friends, he is extremely over-protective of those few. If anyone betrays his trust, he is not likely to forget it, and as spiteful as he is, he will likely do his best to make them pay for their betrayal.
He is very passionate and feels strongly about certain things, such as his general dislike toward richer students because he stereotypes them as being all snobs. For this reason as well as his own relative poverty compared to the rest of the Ouran students, Ren feels that he can better relate to commoners than to the majority of his schoolmates, particularly when he's traveled the world and seen the way that most people who are less fortunate have to live.
Depending on his mood, Ren can seem like the perfect gentleman (mostly toward girls). When in the best of moods, he’s outwardly calm, patient, polite, and funny. Of course, often when things seem too good to be true, they are, and it doesn't take very long for Ren to show his true colors as a perverted pig with a bad temper. The senior usually seems to have only one thing on his mind when conversing and interacting with female students. However, he also really hates to see girls cry and will do his best to avoid such a senario.
Ren has a horrible temper and he knows it. His anger is triggered easily when under stress or when someone is in his way. He deals with his temper and tries to cool off by drinking (and has become relatively tolerant of alcohol), yelling at others, getting into fights to physically beat people, and driving recklessly fast. It's also suspected that he may have turned to drugs from time to time like cocaine, but he's never been caught at it.
His less destructive hobbies (which he usually participates in when not in a foul mood) include learning and practicing other languages, cooking exotic foods, playing soccer (or football as it's known in other countries), and playing with r caring for his exotic animal 'pets', particularly the black and white ones.
Other:
- Played soccer in the other countries he’s traveled to and is fairly good.
- Can cook exotic foods due to travel and help from his father's friends who buy their exotic animals for delicacies and special dishes. Very much enjoys cooking, especially for people he cares about.
- Can speak many languages (due to travel and for selling/trading in the black market) including:
- Japanese
English
French
- Can’t swim and never bothered to learn due to seasickness
- Hates anthropomorphism people who anthropomorphize animals
- Not good with animals but loves them, thus keeping a number of pets aside from the ones his family captures, trades, and sells
- He loves black & white as a color scheme/theme (especially with animals like pandas, zebras, penguins, etc.)
- Carries around a piercing gun to threaten people who dare to stick out their tongues at him.
- Has a tongue piercing because his older brother had the same policy when he was Ren’s age and had pierced Ren’s tongue on an occasion when he was particularly annoyed with him. Ren’s never quite forgiven him.
- He owns a great deal of hunting and trapping equipment, including various kinds of riles, guns, and snares, and knows how to use every single one of them.
- Among several other pets, owns a panda cub called Keiko whom he saved after her mother was killed by his father. He devotes a corner of his room surrounded by bamboo stalks to her.
