Occupation
Seto used to spend an awful lot of time going around town and taking on criminals in fist fights... usually hurting them a little too much and often getting himself in trouble with the law as a result after people started to complain that he was leaving injured men in the streets. Recently however, due to severe warnings from the authorities, he has calmed down and begun to work at a local grocery store, restocking shelves and bagging goods with a bored scowl on his face. Desperate for something interesting to fill his time, Seto has also posted notices around town with his mobile number... claiming that he'll do any odd jobs required of him for appropriate pay.
Face Claim
Yato - Noragami
~ Multiple minor and a single major report of assault. The damage done was incredibly severe, with the victim left within an inch of life. Interestingly enough, it was Seto himself who contacted the authorities and turned himself in. No major charges were pressed by the victim and very little is known in the way of details surrounding the incident outside of the authorities and Seto's family.
~ Multiple reports of vigilantism. Seto despises people who in his eyes are "bad" and has in the past taken the law into his own hands to deal with them. A habit that didn't help his defense when the incident of severe assault was brought to attention. It's miraculous that Seto has yet to face more severe punishments than a day or two behind bars.
Likes
♥ Justice: While he uses the word loosely and often in an over dramatic sense... Seto is a firm believer in the principal of "Karma". What comes around goes around and Seto just adores it when he gets to see someone get their just desserts for doing something blatantly wrong. (Even if sometimes he's the one acting on Karma's behalf.)
♥ Talking: Chatter, chatter, chatter. Seto loves to talk with just about anyone... and he's been reported to have enough charm to draw conversation out of most anyone who's willing to give him the time of day. He thinks that everyone has a story to tell... himself included. So what's wrong with talking with a few people and exchanging a few tales?
♥ New Experiences: Seto loves to see new things and enjoy new activities. When he finds something he really enjoys he tends to stick to it like glue for a little while... before moving onto the next thing when he gets bored. Many people would say that this has lead him to have a very short attention span.
♥ Ticking people off: Seto has an inglorious talent for making people angry. Be it constant quips, minor insults or a generally annoying attitude, Seto is very good at making people upset and he knows this. Occasionally he uses this to his advantage... though alot of the time he just does it as a joke which quickly goes too far.
♥ Closeness: Seto enjoys human companionship, sometimes too much. This is more of a background working thought process, but Seto never has any qualms with putting his arms around someones shoulder or giving someone a playful nudge in the arm. This is another activity that tends to get one some peoples nerves... though many others don't seem to mind it at all.
♥ Jerseys and Jackets: He just likes wearing them. All the time. In almost every situation unless its really inapropriate.
♥ Eating: His parents have often described Seto as being able to eat for all of Japan. He just puts away meal after meal like some kind of machine... yet somehow this never seems to negatively affect his figure. He does get quite a bit of a workout with all of his activities, but Seto could still very well have a hyperactive metabolism. Spicy, sweet, savory, light... it doesn't matter to him, he'll devour it with an iron gut.
♥ Sleeping: With all of the work he tends to do, Seto rarely gets the chance to have a full nights sleep... and he's not really one to sleep on the go either unless he's literally about to pass out. You might think this may be due to some aversion to sleeping... but in reality it has just allowed Seto to appreciate sleep all the more when he feels like he can "afford it".
Dislikes
✖ "Bad" activities: Criminal behavior such as needless violence, theft, etc. Tends to really get on Seto's nerves... he may be seen as a bit of a hypocrite considering he essentially does the same, but in his eyes the inspiration, purpose and reasoning behind an act is far more important then the act itself.
✖ Silence: Seto cannot take silence, he'll squirm awkwardly in a completely silent room before feeling the need to break the quiet with his own voice or some other action. He finds it to be bearable in certain situations, when alone and contemplating or lying down gazing at the sun with the person he loves... he doesn't think he'd mind it then. But an awkward silence between a group of people? No thank you.
✖ Boredom: He'd rather die than be bored. He hates the idea of being forced to do nothing... to him boredom is one of, if not the, worst feeling in the world and in his mind he's already had enough boredom to last him a lifetime.
✖ Getting ticked off: A bit of a hypocritical behavior, Seto hates it when people blatantly attempt to make him angry. He isn't himself when he's angry, or so he thinks anyway. He becomes frustrated, aggressive... and in extreme cases even violent. It's not only annoying to feel that way... but it can also be endangering to his relationships with others.
✖ Distance: Snap out of it people! Seto hates it when other people aren't paying attention to what he's saying or what seems to be important at the time. He feels that ignoring others, on purpose or no, is the height of ignorance. So when people act distant, daydream or blatantly ignore him in any situation, he's quick to remind them in a verbal manner that they should really be paying more attention.
✖ Dressing Formally: Suits and ties just aren't his thing. He hates formal gatherings anyway. Dressing for them is no exception.
✖ Rain: Seto seems to be put in a bad mood at the mere sight of rain clouds. But nobody really knows why...
✖ Sadness and tears: Be they his own or those of someone else. Seto hates seeing people upset and will give his every effort to cure any sort of sadness in any sort of person (or alien, for that matter).
Fears
☠ Chronophobia: The fear of time and time moving forward.
☠ Aquaphobia: Fear of water.
☠ Monophobia: Fear of being alone, isolated or of one's self.
Skills
★ Hand to hand combat: Having been skilled in fighting from birth and being raised by Japanese parents who had both studied martial arts, Seto excelled at lessons in fighting and at present time already holds a black belt in both Karate and Taekwando.
★ Conversational Charm: Despite being found annoying and invasive by many people living around town... Seto has a certain charm about him that tends to convince people that talking to him is a good idea. He's incredible at keeping secrets and having a little bit of a silver tongue tends to help him learn said secrets with ease. In short he has an aura of the trustworthy sort and tends to have great luck when it comes to making friends and convincing people to act on his behalf.
★ Enhanced reflexes and hand to eye coordination: Video games, odd jobs and frequent combat have trained Seto's reflexes to ridiculous levels for his age. Able to balance pens on his finger tips with enough effort and well able to dodge attacks from an untrained opponent. Seto is the kind of guy who always hits the center of an archery target, or the person who ends up catching the ball every times its launched in his direction, regardless of speed and time allowed to prepare himself.
Flaws
☁ Temper: It's unfortunately very easy to make Seto angry if one tries with the intention of doing so. He loses his temper easily and tends to go through three stages of anger. Pouting is the first, if further angered this leads to verbal aggression and if taken further still Seto is known to be physically violent. Though this usually seems to take a more comic role than anything else... sometimes Seto can go too far and forget his own strength and training.
☁ Moderate Intelligence: Seto isn't a genius in most things. He's very street smart and knows how to handle social and monetary situations better than most people he knows... he's also a rather philosophical guy, up for talking about the bigger questions in life. However, when it comes to mathematics, historical reference, multiple languages (other than Japanese and English), etc. He can be rather idiotic... and often times he may make a fool of himself.
☁ Oblivious: He's never had a girlfriend, Seto... and for good reason. Plenty of girls have had feelings for him, he's hardly ugly and his personality is in fact appealing to some. He however, may aswell have no idea what "flirting" even is. All of the girls who have ever tried to subtly hint at their feelings for him have been let down as he keeps going happily through life without paying them any heed.
Headstrong | Passionate | Honest | Mischievous |
Seto isn't exactly the most eccentric guy in the World at first glance. He has alot of passion for the things he believes in... is protective of his friends and family... seems a little bit quick to anger. It's true that a first glance one might take him for an average teenage guy looking to get ahead in life. However, Seto has always been a little bit different. After his time spent as a shut in watching the world around him... Seto gained an oddly obsessive interest with the concept of karma and he began to seriously despise all forms of criminality; he has since developed a powerful urge to stand up for what is right and to actively put himself in the midst of dangerous situations in order to put a stop to activities which he considers to be "wrong" or "bad". He has an iron will and refuses to back down to any sort of challenge or confrontation... a trait many consider to be admirable, however just as many would surely call it foolish; in his opinion if one is not willing to fight against the odds to uphold any beliefs they may have, then one is not worthy to claim to hold any beliefs dear at all. This is further shown to be the case when Seto begins to work at anything of merit, be it odd jobs, vigilantism, personal relationships or even stacking shelves at a grocery shop, Seto is passionate about doing things his own way and still getting a positive result. He knows that it's important to do a job well... but he hates the idea of following any preset rules or structure... he views that sort of things as more a "guideline" for the task at hand.
Seto is also one of those people who'll be bluntly honest with everything he says. He has extreme opinions on a number of serious topics in this modern day and age (suicide, criminality, crime and punishment, government, religion, you name it!) and he's more than willing to share them in their most primal forms, holding nothing back for the sake of anyone else. Yes, he understands that sometimes this can come off as rude, uncaring or hurtful but the idea of lying to someones face to make them feel better horrifies him. As a result of this... Seto doesn't really have many friends, well to be more exact, Seto doesn't have ANY friends, but he's ok with that. "Friends are great and all, but somebody who doesn't like me because of a supposedly coldhearted opinion or two? Well I wouldn't want to be friends with such a person anyway." That's what he says in response to his "loner" status. However... being alone might secretly bother him, if only just a small bit... and he is well aware that a completely lonely life is one of his greatest fears. But he's too headstrong to take that into account when it comes to being himself; happiness comes second to a sense of self in his mind. Besides... he still has what little of his family remains, though he fears that even that won't remain by his side for much longer.
Seto loves to play little games with people... embarrassing or annoying others is one of his past times. Acting perverted towards easily embarrassed girls, saying annoying catchphrases or questioning the manhood of some of the more masculine males. It's all in good fun and most of the time it's clear that he's only joking and being his mischievous self... though at times he may accidentally take a joke too far and if he's in a really bad mood he's been known to occasionally purposefully press peoples buttons, just to make himself feel better. He knows how selfish such actions are... and he almost always immediately regrets them, but he still hasn't kicked the habit. Many have speculated that this behavior could be closely linked to Seto's other most negative trait... his temper. Seto is prone to being easily angered and annoyed, sometimes he can switch into a bad mood on a whim if something really bugs him and when he's in a bad mood further annoyance and most attempts to cheer him up will usually only make the situation worse. Alot of the time if his bad moods escalate quickly enough, he can fling verbal abuse at those who get in his way... and he starts to stare daggers into anyone who tries to lighten him up. Finally, though it IS rare... Seto can also become so enraged that he turns to physical violence as a form of release, lashing out at the source of his aggression. So far he has only really hurt people severely during his time as a vigilante, but he is still to be considered a danger when in a fit of rage.
For some unknown reason... rain seems to instantly put a damper on his mood. Though the reason for this seems to be unclear to everyone bar Seto himself.
