Character Information
Name: Haruke Shinavi
Age: 21
Personality: When dealing with the public for his job or in general, Haruke is calm, cool and collected, as is a must for Reeve's personal communications officer. No matter the situation, he meets it with the same cool, unruffled smile as always. However, out of the public eye, and especially in the office, is a different matter. He is always aware of his position as the youngest person in the office, and is easily teased and embarrassed by his oldest friend Gabriel and his boss.
Haruke has never been one to make friends; with most people, most of the time, he is as professional and distant as he is for his job. As at work, the only person who has been capable of breaking that composure is Gabriel. Despite the fact that the rest of the office has seen him at his most flustered, Haruke remains distant, fearful of being hurt as he has been in the past.
He has a sweet tooth that he tries not to indulge often, a pursuit at which he tends to fail miserably, thanks to the ready availability of sweets around WRO headquarters. Similarly, he likes to distract himself playing games and writing his novel when not doing his work for the Commissioner, something that thankfully hasn't caught up to him yet.
Strengths: Haruke is able to keep a cool head in a crisis, always directing his energies to where they are needed. In situations such as those, he does his best to work behind the scenes, accomplishing his tasks in order to make the workload easier for those who rely on him. Most of the time, when working on a project, he does it for the sake of the work itself, and not for the sake of other people, and so always puts his heart into it.
Weaknesses: As mentioned before, Haruke is close to only one person. This has been the case for several years now, and as a result, his skills with people are slightly lacking. On finding himself in a situation that he is unsure of how to handle, he either gets flustered and comes off as immature, or turns on his cold, professional face, scaring people away. He has never had an opportunity to learn how to fight, and has never used firearms, and so would be completely unable to defend himself should the need arise.
History: Haruke was born in Junon. His parents were both technicians working in the development of the Sister Ray, and he was about twelve or thirteen during the events that led to the weapon being moved to Midgar. As Diamond WEAPON approached Midgar, his parents sent him to Costa Del Sol to live with his grandmother. They were killed in the destruction of Shinra Headquarters, though Haruke only found out in the wake of Meteor's clash above the city.
He was raised in Costa Del Sol following the defeat of Sephiroth, and it was in school there, at the age of sixteen, that he met his friend, Gabriel Vazquez. Despite his attempts to keep the other boy at bay, a defense mechanism he had developed following the deaths of his parents, Gabriel's infectious cheerfulness and inability to leave Haruke alone (or so it seemed) eventually caused Haru to open up to the other. The two of them graduated high school together, Haruke at the top of his literature and writing classes.
Following graduation, Haruke decided to pursue a dream he'd had for the past couple of years - to write about world events and to spread the truth where it had been covered up in the past. He managed to find work as a freelance reporter for a paper in Junon, but later moved on to Edge. By that time, Deepground was on the move, and though he tried to get more information on the background of the project, he was unsuccessful.
Out of work around the time the mass revivals started, Haruke was living off of money made from a few fictional stories and occasionally going to Gabriel, who had gotten the position of Reeve Tuesti's secretary. With nothing else to fall back on, he went in for a job interview - an admittedly unorthodox one, thanks to his friend's antics - and was hired that day. Since then, he has been catching up on world events, and helping with the occasional broadcast, always working behind the scenes.
