Name: Sumeragi Subaru
Age: 15

Physical Description of Character: 1 , 2 , 3

Subaru has short and black hair, has big and green eyes and is a short (1.63) oriental adolescent. He's really cute and slim (50kg) and, despite his physical strenght, he looks like a fragile doll read to broke at the first knock.
Often people mistake him for a girl, perhaps because he's really calm and cute or because his face has soft features.

He's used to wear elegant clothes, even if his sister always adds something particular in his look. Yes, it's Hokuto the one who usually choose what he'll dress, but probably he'll just continue like she would like even in Salkia_island.
He wears gloves, always, even when he sleeps

Point in Canon: One year before the first chapter of the manga - Ikebukuro station some minutes before meeting Seishirou.

Personality: (446 words)
Raised by his grandmother and trained to be a shaman, he doesn't really look like he's only a sixteen year old boy; focused on his work enough to be able to forget about sleeping or eating, it almost seems as if his adolescence is passing by without him noticing it.
Anyway, even if he always tries his best in his job as a Shaman, he doesn't like it; he suffers a lot because he's unable to bring happiness to everyone and he's uncomfortable with people, believing himself to be different from everyone else. As he often told his beloved twin sister, Hokuto, his dream was to be a Vet someday. However, he gave up once he discovered he would have to hurt living animals while studying, and his dream become to be a zoo keeper instead; this because, being unable to express his feeling to other humans, he always felt comfortable with animals who, even without words, were able to understand his feelings.
Anyway, even if he doesn't like his job and will not give up his dream, his duties are too important for him and he'll never leave his place as Sumeragi header until he finds a stronger shaman who'll be able to take his place.
Subaru doesn't have real friends and even in his family he doesn't seems comfortable: His relationship with his grandmother, even if they care about each other, is almost cold. In Tokyo Babylon we can see she always talks to him about work and only AFTER she asks him how is he, how are things going and if he's comfortable in Tokyo (and, in a whole year, he never talked with her about his 'best friend', Seishirou.)
With her sister the situation is better, even if maybe she's too energetic for him, and even too bossy. They trust each other and she really cares deeply about him even if they were parted in their childhood. They can be different, having different habits and almost a reversed personality, but from the point of the story where I'll take Subaru from she's the most important person in his life.
Looking at them we can notice something else: she often hugs him, but he never hugs her back, probably feeling uncomfortable with physical contact.
Subaru always wears gloves, his grandmother ordered him to wear them as a protection for the Sakurazukamori even if Subaru doesn't remember he met him and doesn't know what are they for.
The fact he never touches other people's skin probably increased his problems with communication.
He's quite naive as well; even if his sister often mixes sexual innuendo in conversation with him, he either flushes or doesn't understand.

History of the Character: (727 words)
Born the 19 february 1974 in Kyoto in one of the most ancient and powerful Japanese clans, Subaru and his twin sister Hokuto were raised by their grandmother who took they parent's place when they were really young (Is unknow how Subaru's parent died).
Even from their childhood they were both traning in the light Onmyoji Arts and soon it was evident how Hokuto wasn't strong enough to become a real omnyouji and how Subaru's spiritual powers were strong, probably more than anyone born into the family in several generations; since succession within Sumeragi family was upon the strenght of spiritual powers he took  the leadership of the family from his grandmother when he finished training.

Even if he was a child with dreams his power 'limited' it: his sense of duty never let him follow his dreams and he silently accepted both his training and his rule as 13th head of the Sumeragi clan even if promised himself to leave the leadership to someone else if he'll ever find someone with a stronger spiritual power.

When he was an eight years old boy he was separed by his beloved twin by his grandmother to complete his training and perform the Ceremony of succession to take his place as 13th head of the Sumeragi clan: one day, waiting for his grandmother who was at the Municipal office, he felt something calling him and left the place where he was supposed to wait her and started walking throught unknow ways looking for the source of that 'voice'.
He found himself under a large cherry tree in Ueno Park and, even it was beautiful, immediately felt the grudges and the hatred inside it; Subaru decided to purify the tree, but, even if he already finished his training, it was the first time he really used his powers and failed.
Helding out his hand to catch a falling petal, then, he noticed some red drops on his palm and looked up between the branches seeing a young man in a high school uniform who was holding a girl's body: His arm was through her chest and the blood was dripping from her large wound.

After a second the teeneger used his powers to have Subaru unconscious: he said it was the first time someone saw you while he was killing someone and, after deleting his memories of the murder, he decided to wake him and see what to do after talking to him.

When Subaru awoke he barely noticed the dead body near him, probably unable to see her, and started talking with the stranger apologizing because 'he fainted' and thanking him for his help. Before receiving an answer he commented how beautiful the cherry tree was and the man smiled asking him if he knows why cherry blossoms are pink before explaining him how the blood of the corpses under the tree that feed it turn white petals to pink.
Interested and somehow confused, Subaru asked him if it was painful for the men under the tree and, intrigued by his words, the young man decided to make a bet with the Onmyoji: someday he would meet him again and until then Subaru was allowed to survive.
When they would meet again the murder promised to spend a whole year with the boy acting like he was the most important person of his life and, at the end of the year, if he wasn't able to feel something for the Onmyoji then he would kill him.
Before leaving him Seishirou kissed the young's hands making him unconscius again and marking him with inverted stars to recognize him as his prey.

His memories of the meeting, anyway, were deleted and Subaru currently doesn't know why hisgrandmother ordered him to wear gloves from that day onwards and to never allow anyone else to see his hands: he was used to leave them to sleep but when he moved in Tokyo with his sister and she started entering in his room while he was asleep he decided to wear them even nightime.

Seven years after meeting the Sakurazukamori in Ueno Park Subaru is working for his family in Tokyo living in an adjacent apartment to her sister's; someday, chasing a crow spirit at Ikebukuro station, Subaru trip in front of everyone and, when he awoke after hitting his head he was in the island

Magical Powers/Skills:

-Martial arts: even if he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he was raised learning how to fight without weapons. Even if he doesn't remember anything about his past, his body remembers everything and, even if he's almost always inoffensive he could istinctively react (or act to defend someone) without thinking if someone tries to hurt him.

-Animal Empathy: He can easily understand animal's feelings and, apparently, they feel comfortable with him around even if they aren't supposed to relate with someone else than their masters.

-Understanding: he's able to understand easily creature's feelings even if they don't talk. Anyway, even if he's really able to look inside others, when he has to understand his own feelings he's unable to do it. Until now his twin sister apparently was the only one who was able to look inside him. Even if it seems a positive thing it's a problem for him because the suffering of other souls affect him more than his feelings do; in this way he'll always destinated to suffer and worry about someone else.

-Reading maps: Since he has no sense of direction he always had to rely upon faxed maps to find his way to jobs in his world and he developed a grat ability in reading every kind of maps.

-Seeing dead people: If there's a ghost he can see it or perceive his presence if it's hiding somewhere.

-Summoning shikigami: He has a spirit guide, a two-headed crow, his main shikigami.

-Deep Dive: When he is unable to detect a vengeful spirit or possession, he can to dive into people's mind and ask them personally what has happened. It isn't easy like it seems, it's a special ability of Sumeragi Clan, and entering inside someone is dangerous: if the soul he's trying to penetrate reject him not only his soul can be hurt, but even his body suffer for it.

-Formed Onmyoji: As onmyoji he can use his powers to help people or fight.He can summon simple shikigami to fight; they appear like white birds and can be used like spiritual arrows even if he usually uses them to protect himself. He can do exorcisms, erect kekkais, see ghosts and summon/talk with spirits of dead people.

Weapons: none
