✖⋮ ██████████ N a m e : Raiden Kurosawa aka "Rai"
✖⋮ ██████████ R o l e : The Bad Boy
✖⋮ ██████████ A g e: 18 y.o.
✖⋮ ██████████ B i o : Raiden's mother, Sumiko, was a woman who had gotten pregnant at the tender age of 16. She had her eldest, Ryouji, before she had Raiden, nine years before she had Raiden, both to different men. Life has always been difficult for Sumiko; she hails from an abusive household, bearing the scars of where her father inflicted her wrath upon her and a pit in her heart from having to see her mother simply ignore her husband's blatant violence. She never did well in school and got mixed in with the wrong crowd. The other students didn't like her because they regarded her as yet another failure, the girl with a shaved head, too many piercings to count, and cigarette burns all over her arms. So when word got out that she was pregnant, she was expelled from school and disowned, thus forcing her to live with her on-and-off boyfriend, Ryouji's father. Sumiko bore Ryouji and raised him without the help of her far from supportive boyfriend for 4 years, until she was kicked out into the streets. The woman was forced into prostitution, where she became pregnant with Raiden. Because Sumiko was mostly absent for Raiden's life, Ryouji raised him and the two's bond strengthened. When Sumiko finally disappeared, Ryouji assumed legal guardianship over Raiden. They live together in a small, cheap apartment, but manage to make things work.
✖⋮ ██████████ L i k e s~
❤ speed and adrenaline; Raiden is something of an Adrenaline Junkie-- instead of doing drugs, he does stupid stuff that is likely to get someone killed in order to get his "fix". Likes to do things fast and has very little patience for others because of it. Typically regarded as insane for willingly risking his life for the hell of it.
❤ dominance and attention; Although he acts like the opposite, Raiden likes being in the spotlight. He loves to be the topic of interest, the name that is whispered through the halls because it makes him feel that he's important. Thus, Raiden prefers to be the leader of things, the one that everyone asks his opinion on or the one everyone follows heedlessly.
❤ smell of cigarette smoke; Some like the smell of cigarette smoke, most don't. Raiden probably just likes it because everyone else doesn't-- and that it reminds him of BBQ.
❤ spontaneity and adventure; He likes to try new things and is more daring compared to his peers. Raiden, although considering himself to be one that takes initiative instead of sits back passively, doesn't seem to mind when the unexpected pops up and takes him by surprise.
✖⋮ ██████████ D i s l i k e s~
✗ coddling and personal contact; Raiden doesn't like to be treated as if he's a child and needs help-- the same applies to how he treats others. He's slow to express concern or empathy as he is mostly apathetic. He also hates being touched, he has a bubble of space that others are not allowed to enter unless he allows them to do so. He ducks away from hugging, pulls away from kisses, and kicks at those who still insist.
✗ fast food; He feels pretty cheap eating fast food-- the only thing he'll eat from any fast food franchise's menu is french fries. Ironic how he likes things to be done fast, but when it comes to food, he'd rather it actually taste good and not get grease all over his fingers.
✗ sleep; Studies say that human beings spend 26 years of their life asleep-- Raiden, however, thinks that it is a waste of precious time. He can't be considered an insomniac, as he doesn't suffer from the inability to fall asleep, he just doesn't get much of it. Most of his sleep he gets from his periodic, 30 minute naps, which is why he's often snoozing in class (and is also the reason why his grades are terrible).
✗ exams; Raiden is a smart boy, even if he doesn't see himself as such, so he hates tests because the way he learns isn't how the education system teaches their students how to learn.
✖⋮ ██████████ F e a r s:
▫ death of a loved one; Raiden does not fear death himself, but he fears that someone close to him will die before he does.
▫ amusement parks; It's not much of a fear but more like an extreme hatred because of all the people and grubby food that's condensed into one, small plot of land filled with even dirtier machinery.
▫ broken glass; As a child, he was walking down the sidewalk with his older brother and tripped over his shoelaces, landing onto shards of broken glass from a beer bottle. The shards were all embedded deep into his knees, so needless to say, he hates broken glass to this day.
▫ hospitals; Too much personal contact. Smells like disinfectant, no matter how many Febreeze cans are emptied on that place. Too many bad memories take place there.
✖⋮ ██████████ W e a k n e s s e s:
▫ impulsive; Tends to make rash decisions without giving it much thought. Always swings first.
▫ impatient; Doesn't like to wait.
▫ apathetic; It's hard for him to connect with others because he's incredibly independent and can't really understand why people have to rely so heavily on others.
▫ independence; He's a little too independent and refuses to accept help even when he really needs it. Raiden also hates to admit defeat.
✖⋮ ██████████ S t r e n g t h s:
▫ decisive; He takes risks while others don't and doesn't regret the decisions he makes. Raiden also tends to make these decisions a lot faster than others. He always knows what he wants and how he's going to get it.
▫ athletic; The boy is in really good shape. He excels at sports and can outrun most his age, if not for the fact that he absolutely hates playing sports. He likes to make fun of athletes rather than participate in athletic competitions. Raiden also has a lot more stamina, probably because he's got a lot of energy.
▫ shrewd; Although Raiden is not academically smart, he's pretty clever and picks up on things faster than others.
▫ charisma; Something of a smooth talker, able to get himself out of difficult situations if punching doesn't work. Can use this to manipulate others or simply garner their support. Raiden also tends to have a lot of connections with people outside of school because of this skill.
✖⋮ ██████████ O t h e r s:
▫ He knows where a lot of great, less-known restaurants are.
▫ His ears, eyebrow, tongue, and lip is pierced. His head is shaved and he has a tattoo of a rose with the words "HEAT" underneath it on his neck. There are others, like a yakuza-style tattoo that sprawls across the entire expanse of his back and extends to his right arm.
▫ Theme: "R U Mine- Arctic Monkeys"
▫ Has a few scars on his fingers from when he played five-finger fillet (and lost). He also has scars on his knees from when he fell on glass and has a scar on his lower lip from when it was split open during a fight.
▫ Always has cough drops with him, just because.
▫ Puts ice in his cereal.
▫ Looks almost nothing like his older half-brother, Ryouji. He doesn't know who his father is and doesn't want to find out.
