Name: Sora Minami
Age: 19 1/2
Gender: Male "E-eh? Why do you have to ask..."
Height: 6'1
Weight: 162
Oddity: He over sleeps and over eats, too much. Some people are concerned because he sleeps through class and even skips the first few periods because he's still sleeping, but it's natural. He was just born to need a bunch of sleep is all. At the minimum, he should at least get 11 hours of sleep. Maximum would be a whole day. He also has an odd eating habit. He'll eat a lot, but he'll never get fat or gain weight. Why? He himself doesn't know. "Im tired... But grab me a piece of bread before I fall asleep, would you?"
Sexuality: Heterosexual "Is it abnormal to like girls?"
Romantic Interest: None at the moment "I kinda take a liking to older girls though... or maybe that's just because of my sister... Eh."
Nationality: Completely Japanese
Job: None "Too much work."
Type of Singer: He tends to sing rock songs, or piano songs, but hardly anything calming, like his personality. But it's nothing like hardcore metal or anything. Definitely not. His voice has an odd tone to it, but when he speaks, it sounds more normal and fluent. Yet people don't really hate on this. Many actually like it in some way.
Instrument(s): He plays a little guitar, but it's not enough to actually be in a song. "It's just a hobby is all."
Personality: "I've got two sides... they're actually really different from each other."
Sora has the type of half cold half friendly attitude towards people. It's not that he hated people or anything, more like he's curious about some, and not about others. If someone is found to be like other people in his eyes, if they're too normal like someone you'd see everyday just walking around, his interest level drops, which is where he begins to avoid that person by not answering any questions, not talking back, or just walking away from them completely. He tends to like people like him, who have minor problems, nothing too big to see, but minor enough to notice. If they're different, things take a little switch with Sora's opinion. Some people think he's selfish and cruel for doing this, but it's just simple that Sora isn't a fan of interesting people.
If you are one of those people he finds interesting, whether it be a male or female, (Keep in mind he's still heterosexual) then it's more likely he'll open up to you rather than shove you away. With these people, Sora will actually be a little odd, spacing out very often about food in front of them and looking really childish, despite his height and matured appearance. This is where Sora's personality gets a little complicated with how he acts towards others. Some, he's childish, others he's weird, and towards the rest he's like a normal young adult who will laugh and smile and take place in conversations rather than stay out. Though, it's still a little hard to socialize with him since he's sleeping so often. People only get from 4-8 hours per day at the very most.

Bio: (Go all out!)
Other: Strangely, he always tends to wear a scarf outdoors. He'll only take it off indoors, but outdoors, you'll always see him with a scarf, even in summer and even on the hottest day. And it's only one scarf that he'll wear which is the special blue one he's always seen wearing. Also, his scarf used to be a lovely red color, but after using it for so long, and washing the dye color away, it became a darkened blackish blue color which only gets darker by the year.
Sora also has terrible vision. He's almost literally blind, which is why he tends to make his music, or do covers rather than have to read of a sheet because he can't read it. He really does need glasses, but doesn't get them. Why? He doesn't feel like it. He can't even read a book and has trouble realizing faces in front of him, even if they're just an inch away, he'll have to squint to recognize their face.
Character Thoughts:
Males
Sora Minami - "Him? He's quiet, and weird- Wait....."
Fate Sarutobi - "He's always avoiding girls... Or women... Or any female actually. Makes me wonder why that is... Probably just from a few he's met. I can kinda see where he's coming from if that's the case; some woman can be terrifying, even more than the devil himself."
Chihaya Ogiwara - "So quiet... Almost reminds me of how I used to be, though I didn't really change apparently... He's... Short... Too... Ha... Hehe... Funny to see someone my age be at such a low height. He's got me curious, though I can't say anything negative or positive just yet."
Dameon Louis - "He... Kind of annoys me in some way... I don't ever recall hating children or anything, but this kid gets on my nerves from what I see... Sure, Im patient, but Im afraid he may just push the limit and go overboard... Better not or there may be a little cat and dog fight."
Tristan Aeol - "He's also quiet, like that other shortie, although the difference is that he's got a sort of... Well... Gloomy atmosphere to him, in my opinion. I'm not trying to judge early or anything, but he feels a bit threatening, especially since he hardly smiles. Or maybe it's just his age that gets me anxious..."
Nick O'Shields - "I... Am a bit unsure what to think of him as. He's one of those guard people walking around the school... I think I saw him the first time I crossed through the gates. He's a year younger, but I'll still treat him with respect and follow his rules. I'd hate to get in trouble anyways."
Jun Katanami - "He's a friendly looking person. I think he may be too open to people, but I kinda think that's a good trait that someone people actually need... He's a great singer and musicia , I can say that at the very least, though his school habits don't look the best. Lucky for him the people here only care for music."
Jack Caraway - "Heh, he's also lazy. Well, it's nice to know Im not the only one who's procrastinating. Though I can't say Im fond of the idea that he's a flirt. Sure, guys have there moments when they'll try once or twice, but come on.... Eh, I do respect him for his loyalty to his friends and what such. There something."
Robin Dumas - "He's really hard working... And honestly, not trying to be an adult or anything, but Im a bit nervous about him overworking, even though he already looks like he does it. The guy looks friendly, friendly enough at least, though his competitive side is a little over the top. Or perhaps that's just because Im not competitive at all."
Alexander Rammis - "He's also shy.... And quiet.... Like a majority of these people are... But I guess that's fine. It's hard to get to know quiet people, but that usually changes. I'm amazed by his skills with the synthesizers though. I doubt many people, even those in this school, would be able to do play so many instruments."
Females
Wotamin Yori - "Always wearing a mask... Makes me wonder what's wrong with her, but her singing isn't bad... I guess... Surprisingly since her voice is messed up from whatever illness she has."
Saki Ai Yuuki - "She reminds me of myself, if I was a girl that is. Slightly cold towards strangers, and I doubt she'd stay that way towards friends too, so in a way, I can relate. But one of her flaws is kind of how she's annoyed and really cocky... Maybe something I can tolerate later on, but everyone has to draw the line...."
Jayson Preston - "Also like me, in some ways. Though, it may just be a natural thing to be less open towards strangers and more to friends. From my point of view, I think she's loyal and probably trustworthy. But what can I say when I hardly even know her? These are just my first impressions anyways...."
Anaïs Chevrier - "So hyper... The more I watch her actions and listen to her words, the dizzier I get... I swear, I'll see her bouncing on the walls one day. But I can't say that's bad to have energy... I'm a bit envious of that honestly, but I think she may have maybe a little too much energy.."
Haruka Okada - "Shy. I think that's the most accurate word to describe her. Her music does seem really powerful though, so I guess she expresses herself through her music like many others do... But I've always been curious about one thing; are those ears real?"
Esmeralda Farcaley - "Her energy goes far more than that other girl. That's means I'll see two people bouncing on the walls... Lovely. Her hair color is odd... Wonder if she dyed it. Same with her eyes, but I think those are contacts. I'm a bit terrified by how cheerful she is, but like before, it's not a bad thing."
Kuronomi Miku - "I don't really get her... She's got this sort of... Melancholy feeling to her... Honestly, I kind of like it. Reminds me of quietness, compared to such a large and crowded school packed of people. I heard she has a personality disorder too. I won't pity her, but I will say that it's not very cool to leave her in the dark just because of that."
Charlotte Hansen - "Sometiems I hardly recognize her. One from my bad sight. Two because she somehow blends in with the atmosphere rather than stand out like everyone else does. She seems really smart too, being the top of every class. I've got good grades too, but not that good. I kind of look up to her like a role model or something."
Kaori Collins - "... three people jumping on walls now... I think she's far too nice, and it worries me that people would take advantage of that, since it happens often. It's a good thing to be nice, but it could lead to bad situations. She doesn't seem very smart either... There's another downfall. The way things are going gets me a bit anxious for her future..."
Sample of Voice/Instrument:
One by one, I gathered
the sounds you liked to hear
though the sounds by themselves, really
hurt my ears so much it was unbearable
I’ll stop playing the guitar I started strumming yesterday for a while
I was just trying to copy the sounds of the CD I borrowed from you
So, just as I thought, to keep you from knowing
I can’t shut it away
From the chord that’s about to be flooded
Another’s smell leaks out
Ah, it’s become yet another song with the same ambience
It’s not anything else, it’s a song
Made to capture “your eyes” and your attention
That’s why this song seems so much
Like that artist that you like
“There’s no twist” “There’s no charm”
Go on, I don’t care, even if you speak ill of me
It’s alright. For now, all I want
Are your eyes looking right here, at me.
Oddly, this song
Is starting to get awfully popular
It seems that I haven’t yet
thrown away all of my good taste
Hearsay, gazed at with seemingly overflowing curiosity
Somehow, I feel like I’ve become king
But then, you know, everything other than this
Have all been turned to fakes for me
It seems that, inside me
The number to resuscitate doesn’t exist
So, let’s play something today, the same kind we always play
Not for a specific person, it’s a song
Made to capture the “eyes of every person”
I’ll set the theme, so
Just let your favorite chord reverberate
“It’s not that” “It’s not this”
If it’s points of comparison, they’re endless
Unable to stand it anymore, all I can do is cower
I don’t even know where you are anymore
I really looked forward to it, you know
Is there anything that,
other than myself,
no one has?
Even though there’s no such thing
I worried about it
No other song than this
Has “a piece of me” plucked out and placed in it
It has no twist and it has no charm
Just repeating an unskilled chord
I just shut my eyes earnestly
Wanting, very much, to scream
I think I heard your voice, saying
“It’s fantastic, isn’t it”
Even after years, the shadow doesn't fade;
It only invites more emotions
I crouched, and I drew alone
Under a blazing sun, on a hilly road,
We walked, blurry figures,
The summer heat in our eyes
"Don't mind me,"
"Just go off somewhere,"
And I brushed your hand away
"Don't go,"
You said to me,
And grabbed mine back
"You're so annoying!"
I walked a little bit ahead,
Without looking back
"What's your real heart?"
With things like "wisdom," I can't look forward;
There's no reason, so I keep rotting
If only things could be wound back...
As many years pass, I won't die,
Always proclaiming hopeful ideas,
Even though naturally, you're still not here...
Saying "I don't care, go die, go die,"
I grab my wrist and curse
I can't do anything, so I just casually
Indulge in life
"If the summer can show us dreams,
Let's go to before you were taken away..."
The days I hid out of shame light up the air,
Scorching my mind...
A boy at the age of 18
Waited somewhere again
It's a blurry silhouette, but
He remembers the shape
On a campus clear under a blazing sun,
You were smiling again
Again you said "let's play,"
And gently swayed...
"I'm worried," says an awkward face
Some neighbor wouldn't understand;
Stop pretending to be so sad
Let's keep living faint and unnaturally today,
Let's keep to yesterday's pace,
So I won't forget your warmth...
If I'm wishing for a dream that can't come true,
Then I'll just embrace the hurt past,
And have a dream I won't wake up from
As if naturally, I secluded myself...
"So you can't even see tomorrow, then?"
I'm perfectly fine with that...
I stain my hands to kill off the boring days,
Because I chose to be "alone"...
A rotten, 18-year-old youth
Was praying another day
Your colorful smile still
Clings to him...
To the blazing sun I muttered, "Just take me with you, somehow";
And my breath quietly stopped...
The voice of "Can you hear me?" vanished,
And I somehow understood the reason
I reached out to the summer warmth...
Under the blazing sun, a youth
Had wished to stand in the "then"
Your summery smile still
Was unchanging...
"I died. I'm sorry," you say;
"Shall I say "goodbye"?", you say;
Don't say such lonely things, don't go away
The silhouettes stood by,
And they watched me...
