The Application
Character
Name: Nezumi
Fandom: No.6
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Time Period: After he leaves Shion in volume 9
Wing Color: Gray, matching his eyes
History: Time for tl;dr
Personality:
The first thing to say about Nezumi is that he’s a survivor. Living a hard life, he’s had to do everything he can just to survive and thanks to that, he has a very cool-headed approach to things. He reacts well under stressful and dangerous situations, which has definitely saved his life more than once. He values nothing more than his life and he would do anything to survive. He won’t put unnecessary burdens on himself and understands how true ‘survival of the fittest’ really is. Nezumi’s a realist and has no time for dreams and fantasies. His view is a very black and white one because that’s life. It’s not fair and he knows that. He has no problem telling it how it is and letting you know if you’re being an idiot.
Nezumi doesn’t let people close and in some ways purposely drives them away. The only times he is nice to someone is he knows it’s going to get him something in return. Otherwise he won‘t bother showing anybody any manners and he doesn’t care about how other people feel towards him. Insults don’t bother him and he’ll easily laugh it off and give you one right back. It’s no wonder not many like him. He is very sarcastic and pretentious, a true know it all to most. It’s not very often he shows any sympathy towards people. Shown when he takes advantage of a young girl grieving her mother’s death and she starves for three days because he took most of her money. Nezumi shows no regret and offers no apology. When he knows she’s still mad at him in the future, Nezumi laughs and tells her to get over it. Nezumi uses her to get information for him and pays her well. It’s not like he never gave her money back. There’s no point in wasting the energy to Nezumi.
Over and over, people call Nezumi a demon. Is he? He tortures a man for information and wants to kills him when he decides they cannot get anything else from him. Nezumi will go to great means to get what he wants, but he is not entirely unfeeling about it. The man he almost kills is because the man could have easily had them killed. It was Nezumi trying to protect his life. He doesn’t enjoy people needlessly suffering and while he will do anything to survive, he knows murder is still murder. Nezumi is not a bad person in this regard and only acts the way he does for necessity of his own safety. Not out of enjoyment. But his honor usually changes his actions. If Nezumi promises you something, he will do it. He does not back out on his word and often tells people that when he makes a promise. It is just not often he makes those promises since he knows they can be heavy burdens.
As much as Nezumi shuts people out and doesn’t want anybody close, Shion manages to become close to him and with him around Nezumi is no longer his aloof self. He gets angry and frustrated with Shion, which is a big contrast to how he usually acts with people. Shion is everything Nezumi was taught not to be and in the beginning does not see how they can ever agree. He shows how black and white he views things when he tells Shion because they cannot agree, they’ll be enemies one day. It’s extreme but to Nezumi, there is no middle ground. But Shion saved his life and Nezumi knows he‘s alive because of him. Nezumi does cherish that and saves his life in return four years later. He insults Shion and talks down to him, laughing at what he considers weaknesses. But he cares a lot about him and though he tries to deny it at first, he knows that he could never let Shion die. Not that Nezumi likes this and accepts it easily. Caring about someone and knowing you would risk your own life repeatedly for someone is a scary thing to Nezumi.
Through all of Nezumi’s roughness, he’s very big into literature and arts. His hobbies are reading and acting. Acting is actually his job and he’s good enough at it that he actually has fans. He’s very intelligent and can quote different books easily. Reciting lines from Faust or Macbeth? No problem to him. If you don’t know the classics, he thinks that’s horrible and will suggest you go ahead and acquaint yourself to them. He’s also smart enough that he builds robotic mice installed with cameras and holograms. Nezumi’s not dumb and has a brain to back up his survival instinct.
Summing Nezumi up, he’s simply just a guy who’s had it rough and is what he is because he’s found that to be the best way to survive. In the end, all he wants to do is live because he won’t allow himself to die. Not without a fight.
Strengths:
Physical: Nezumi is a very skilled fighter and knows the pressure points to disable someone. He seems to know how to use a gun well and can fight pretty damn good with his fists. He’s able to withstand a lot of pain. He’s been shot four times and always comes out well for himself. His singing is said to be able to calm and relax people, people often paying him to sing to people when they’re dying so they die more peacefully. Also he is a mimic and can do various voices, both male and female of different ages.
Mental/Emotional: Very smart and very cunning. He is a quick thinker, keeping a cool head and knowing what to do. He knows various things (from cooking to building robotic mice with cameras in them) and is a big appreciator of the arts. Nezumi is a great actor as well and where he lives, is said to have fans. Very honorable, if you do something for him he will repay you no matter what. He’s also able to pick up when danger is near, almost psychically.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Nezumi may be strong, but he’s still very human. He’s still vulnerable. Though he survives a gunshot four times, it weakens him and he needs to be taken care of. Up against stronger beings, he probably wouldn’t last long and wouldn’t be able to match their skills. Probably only long enough to fend them off somewhat and run off.
Mental/Emotional: He’s scared of letting people get close and will not allow it. He’s not perfect and gets angry easily when he is faced with his weaknesses from someone else. While his coldness has helped him to survive, it endangers many people and if he thinks it’s a danger to himself, he will not help you. This attitude gives him a lot of enemies. He really drives people away with his sarcasm and know-it-all attitude. There really are not too many people who like Nezumi in his canon
