Description

“Sure, The Arcana may be the means by which all is revealed…but can it see what makes the cinnamon toast taste in Cinnamon Toast Crunch?”


Name: Taro Murakami
Gender: Male
Age: 13 (Home-schooled)
Hometown: Paris, France (Eos Corp was originally located here, before the global takeover)

Appearance:

Taro is a mocha skin toned youngster with a baby face and innocent, yet melancholy violet eyes. Randomly throughout his hair are strands of white hair that he's had since birth, he used to get made fun of for his strange hair color in fact. He's short, even for a thirteen year old, he's short, he's sensitive about it, and to talk about his height would probably turn him even further off from you. He has mocha colored skin, and a beauty mark (which I lack in one of the pictures for him) underneath his left eye. He wears a sky blue short sleeved hoodie that has dandelion colored stripes on the sleeves, and a large number 7 surrounded by a dandelion circle on the center. On his legs he wears a pair of baggy tan cargo shorts and dandelion colored chucks, with sky blue lazer guns embroidered on the sides. He almost always has the hood of his hoodie pulled half way over his head, just enough for his bangs to hang over freely on his fore head, he liked it that way.

On his left wrist he has two 'cause bands', a black and green Voltron one, and a blue and red Gundam one. He loves robots.

Personality

"Yeah. Do whatever you want."

Personality:

For as long as he could remember, Taro Murakami was ALWAYS the quiet kid. It wasn't that he didn't like people, it was more like he couldn't communicate with them, he never had much to say. He had a decent crop of friends, but he was always the black sheep. He's meek, almost to the extent of being a push-over. He lacks the drive to put up a fight, and gives in whenever confronted. He hates conflict. Rather than go outside and play like the other kids, Taro watched movies. They were an escape from the real world he loathed so much. He exceled in there too, top of the class in every exam.

When he get's attached to someone or something, he'll cling to it no matter what. He likes security, he likes things being the same and fears change. That's why when his parents divorced he had such a hard time...and...

He's sharp as a tack, very observant, and uses his head. He catches on to things quickly and could be a formidable asset in battle.

He's as stubborn as he is meek though, it's not often, but when he stands for something, he won't budge on it, not even if you get a crowbar.

An introvert is the accurate peg of his personality. His shyness can often be mistaken for rudeness, and he's fine with that.

Equipment

The only thing Taro carries on him on all times is his cell phone, a bright yellow slider. The only numbers in it though are his father's assistant, and his caretaker Elizabeth's. He doesn't have friends due to homeschooling.


Weapon: None


Arcana: Sun

Persona: Apollo The God of Sun and Creativity (Picture coming VERY soon, it takes time to draw these things)




Apollo, in classic Greek Mythology is the deity of the sun, as well as creativity. A bit of a contrast to Taro, who is not only gloomy, but hates most 'creative' things. As a member of the Sun Arcana, Apollo is highly gifted in the magical department, especially fire-based spells. With training, Apollo could become the party's chief magical attacker. Apollo is also capable of moving at break neck speeds, making it hard for a slow enemy to catch Taro.

The biggest drawback of Apollo is it's low defense and physical ability. Taro is the complete opposite of a tank.

Abilities (level one):

Agi- Low level fire based attack

Garu - Low level wind based attack

Dia - low level healing technique

In battle, Apollo uses a white whimsical looking guitar.

Persona Appearance:
Apollo appears as a tall and slender pale skinned man. The Persona's hair was long, reaching to his back, and jet black, with a number of bright white streaks throughout. A horned mask covered the left side of the man’s face, while a pair of headphones found themselves situated around his neck.
He wore a long black buttoned at the top, opened at the waist on down pea coat. On his lower half the enigmatic man wears a pair of black fitted pants, and finishes off his look with a pair of white gators on his feet.

History

Taro lives a sheltered life along with his sister, a number of attendants and caretakers, and barely his own father.

Both children in the family had their own, personal caretaker, Tsuki had hers, and Taro his: Elizabeth. She was the closest thing to a mother the boy had, seeing how his father was always more occupied with work, and his mother non-existent. Elizabeth was kind to him, caring, but at the same time strict, and 'real'. She didn't treat him as Taro: The heir to the Eos dynasty, but instead, she treated him as Taro: The child. She explained to him with a fantastic context what the world was like, outside the walls of the mansion he lived in. She brought him movies, the one thing he found pleasure in. They were so appealing because they were a whole other world, filled with heroes, and villains and grand story lines, he loved it.

Taro was never creative, part of him was bothered by that fact. He was jealous of his twin sister's creative soul, and the worlds she could create with only a pencil and paper. He dare not reveal this fact though, instead, he covered it up by teasing and criticizing the girl's pictures. A habit that caused his already unstable sister even more problems.

When Tsuki was kidnapped, Taro became even more reclusive, not even being able to speak with Elizabeth like he used to. Part of him felt like his sister's kidnapping was his fault, even though there was no possible way he could have caused something like it to happen.

One other thing...

Ever since he was born, Taro has had a history of 'visions'. These visions appear randomly and range from quick flashes, to entire 30 minute episodes. These visions tell the tale of a boy and his friends...fighting strange creatures. What was the boy's name...? Minato?
