To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Marriage and Morals (1929) ch. 19

There used to be a real me, but I had it surgically removed.
Peter Sellers (1925 - 1980)

Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890)

Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.
Nathaniel Branden

A rather tiny Ritsuka FST~ There will be a part deux in the future~

( Push play. )

Age: 12
Birthday: December 21st
Height: ~4'8"
Blood type: B
Eyes: Violet (According the anime, but it might be brown too D:)
Hair: Black
Physical traits: Canonly has a pretty, very girlish face, and is also canonly quite attractive especially to cradle robbers. It is also likely that has a fair amount of fine, small scars in various places all over his body. His mommy hits him :(. Also, in manga only, he is never seen without a small bandage on his left cheek. Whether or not there's a reason for it, I've got no idea.

Medical Info: Fairly healthy, stamina might be slightly under average?
What's Okay To Mention Around Him: There are TWO major things that may be problematic. One, mention anything that may imply Ritsuka having multiple personalities or anything along those lines. Depending on how it's said, he may get... really upset. Though you don't really need to clear this one with me, just be aware that he may get pissed at your character and run away or something |D. Second, depending on how it's said, mentioning Seimei and his murder can very easily hit nerves. Casual discussion is fine, but implications he might not have been such a good person or any nasty remarks about said murder? Just ask first, though I'll likely say yes. Oh, and he's slightly touchy about his real name of "Loveless", but I don't care much if you mention that one.
Mentionable IC: See above.
Abilities: Uh, Ritsuka is a Sacrifice which really has no ramifications other than if the Zero Boys got in a spell fight, he'd be able to detect it probably. Otherwise, nothing is that special. He's... quite intelligent and does extremely well in school?
Notes for the Psychics: At age 10, he suffered complete amnesia and complete personality change. Prior to this, he was cheerful, quite popular in school, and an okay student. Psychics may also be able to detect that his true name is Loveless. He's also got a boatload of emo.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Absolutely! Just ask first. :D
Maim/Murder/Death: NO DEATH IT WOULD TOTALLY SCREW HIM UP FOREVER. Otherwise, any injuries are totally fine. He's... quite used to pain and being injured, etc.
Kissing/Hugging: In terms of hugs, if he's fairly trusting of you or likes you, he'll probably just be vaguely perturbed and won't respond, but he won't really protest or stop you either. Or he may be totally non-chalant. Otherwise, he's likely to get flustered and irritated and may get snippish. Kisses will piss him off. Unless you're Soubi. Though he still might get pissed.

Character: Ritsuka Aoyagi
Series: Loveless
Character Age: 12
Canon: Loveless is an interesting little series where having cat ears and a cat tail equals virginity and people have spell battles. Really. Enter here Ritsuka, a boy who lost his memories and experienced a complete personality switcharoo, and his precious older brother, Seimei, was murdered two years later. Needless to say, he's more than a little emo.

Ritsuka is quite the prickly little puffer fish. On the outside he can be cool, quiet, and harshly blunt. He becomes increasingly snappish and defensive the more you get under his skin, but for those who can reach past this, Ritsuka is actually quite the soft, scared little boy. He also has a powerful streak of pacifism, and hates to see others in deep pain, be it physical or emotional.

He also has an obsession with taking photos with others or, as he calls it, "making memories".


Sample Post:

I wonder if the old Ritsuka would like a place like this? Am I supposed to enjoy a camp full of mud and mosquitoes and humidity so high that I might as well be swimming? I don't understand what Mother was thinking when she demanded that I go to a summer camp. And what kind of idiot runs a summer camp in the fall anyway?

This pamphlet that I received isn't very accurate either. According to what it said, the camp was only a short hike from the main road, but I've already been walking several hours. I don't like these woods either. It just feels too weird!

For example, I met a strange guy who looked like a giant cat an hour or two back. He said I had "a cute tail and ears" but that I should "ditch the human suit". So I told him to "ditch the cat suit", and he looked a little like he wanted to punch my face in. How foolish. If he's going to dish out, he should be able to take it back!

Anyway, after he calmed down, he started asking all these annoying, pointless questions. Like, "What is your quest?" ("To find the camp.") and "What is your favorite color?" ("Grey-blue."). But when he started asking things like if I liked piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, it was too much. Who wants to spend their time getting surveyed in the middle of the forest! That's got to be some sort of sexual harrassment. So I quickly took a few pictures to remember this very weird man, and as I was leaving he told me to send him some copies of the photos. He also told me he wanted me to "come back when I'm older". But why would I want to come back to a summer camp as an adult?

In any case, even though he was annoying, I guess I should send him some prints of the photos anyway. I'll copy the address down here too, just in case.

That's a very strange address.
