âPhysical Descriptionâ
Haru is almost the spitting image of his mother, from his hair color, eyes, and facial structure. Really, some don't believe that Sora is his father. He is thin, but not short on muscle mass. His hair is short and choppy, quite remminiscent of his mother, really. His eyes range on a scale from the slate grey of his mother to the amber of his father, and sometimes, they can be an odd, multi-colored pairing of this. His left eye, however, will at times display a mark, which is from one of his abilities. It's a bit like his sister's, though it is in the opposite eye, and as will be discovered, he has an opposite ability, as well.
âYou'd have more fun picking through Naya Nii-san's mind...then again, it might drive you insane, too.â
âPotential Interestâ
Ryoku Minamoto: Haru is...well...a bit of a philanderer, if we're being completely honest. On top of that, Haru swings both ways, and is not afraid to let that be known. Male or female, if he likes what he sees, he tends to go after it. He may only be fifty-five, but do not let that fool you: Haru has had his share of lovers, from both genders, sometimes at the same time. Still, that does not disguise the fact that Haru has a serious crush on his cousin, Ryoku. He has no idea how to act upon said feelings, however, and as such, he stays silent.
âSkillsâ
- â
Chess || There is just something about the game that Haru loves, and as such, he has become a master of it. Heâll play someone, or alone, it doesnât really matter to him. He holds the school record, as no one has ever beaten him.
â Harp || While Haru has an affinity for all stringed instruments, violin and piano included, his favorite is the harp. He plays it quite often, and has done many duets with Naya, especially during Christmas.
â Dancing || There is not much of a quicker way into a womanâs arms that dancing, and Haru is more than adept at the skill. He can do almost any dance, most of it ballroom dancing.
âAbilitiesâ
- â Shape-Shifting || Like his father, Haru can change his form to just about anything he wants, he is not limited to that of his familiar.
â Umbrakinesis || The ability he inherited from his mother, Haru has the same amount of control over the shadows that his mother has, and in some cases, perhaps even more. Their powers peak during a full moon; this is when they are strongest, and perhaps the most deadly as well.
â Eye of the Creation || At first glance, one might think that he shares his sister's ability, however; it is something entirely different. While still a warping of space and time, instead of destroying and unmaking things, Haru can create things, repair them, and return them to the state that they were before they were damaged, or his sister unmade them. He is the first to ever have this ability, as far as anyone knows. There is, however, a darker side to this ability. Whereas his sister can erase wounds on someone who is injured by returning them to the state they were in before they were wounded, Haru can speed up the damage, worsening it, which would inevitably lead to death. He can also speed up the aging rate of the object of his gaze, effectively ending their life that much faster.
âI'm an open book, really. What you see is what you get.â
âOtherâ
- Much like his mother, Haru has a familiar with the form of a lion. His name is Kon, and while not running after his master, he tends to be sleeping. Kon often takes the form of a small black cat.
- Also like his mother, Haru cannot take blood tablets. His body simply will not allow him to ingest them, and as such, he tends to make do with his mother or his sister, most times. He's fed off a few of his lovers from time to time, but he tries not to make that a habit.
âHabitsâ
- â Flirtation || Haru will flirt with anything and everything, save for a few people. If he likes what he sees, heâll chase it, plain and simple.
â Sketching || Haru loves to draw, and is rather good at it, too. He has numerous drawing all over his bedroom, or various things and people, most of the people being his family. Incidentally, his favorite subject matter tends to be Ryoku, though most of those drawings Haru keeps hidden away.
â Cleaning || This is a bit odd, really. Haru hates messes. Anything out of order or dirty just drives him batty, and heâll clean it. When in anotherâs house or room, heâs even been known to just start moving things and arranging them so he thinks they look good. This drives his sister and Trevor up the wall to know end.
âLikesâ
- አNo-Strings-Attached || Haru likes his relationships open and with nothing attached. Heâs never actually had a steady relationship, the longest being about two months. He will not even entertain the notion of having a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Whenever one of his lovers begins talking about such things, he generally promptly leaves them. Most of the time, he doesnât move past one-night-stands as it is.
አCheese || Haru cannot really explain it, but he really, really, likes cheese. It is the one thing he would do just about anything for. His favorite cheese is anything sharp, mostly sharp cheddars. If you give him this, he will love you forever, and quite possibly worship the ground you walk upon.
አFighting || While heâs no lover of war, Haru is quite fond of a good tussle from time to time, and not one between the sheets, though his extremely fond of that, too. From hand-to-hand combat to swordplay, Haru will rarely say no to the offer of a spar. More often than not, once heâs done, heâll make his own tussling offer.
âDislikesâ
- â Commitment || Haru has more of less a fear of commitment. He understands what his parents, his aunt, and his uncle have, and a part of him wants that, yet another part of him it absolutely terrified of the thought. As such, heâs never had any sort of relationship that has lasted longer than about two months.
â War || Haru holds firmly to the saying, âMake love, not war.â He hates death and pointless fighting, and will not step onto a battlefield unless he finds it absolutely necessary. As such, he much prefers to spend his time with one of him many pursuits.
â Chocolate || Easiest way to put it: Haru hates chocolate. Chocolate candy, chocolate milk, chocolate flavored things, chocolate cake, if it has chocolate in the name, he wonât touch it. Itâs just a bit too sweet for his tastes.
âStrengthsâ
- ⊠Swordplay || Much like all of his family, really, Haru is an expert with blades. He took after his sister a bit in the way that he also uses the sheath as a weapon. His favorite sparring partner by far is Naya.
⊠Speed || Haru is not the strongest person, but what he lacks in strength, he makes up for in speed. Haru can be blindingly fast, even for a Pure Blood.
⊠Family || Haru gains a lot of strength from his family. They support him, and he appreciates this. He knows that he doesnât have to hide who he is, and he loves this.
âWeaknessesâ
- ⯠Philandering || He never carries on a relationship, and as such, he really doesnât know what one feels like. This actually does bother him, but his fear of commitment is far greater.
⯠Commitment Issues || He cannot handle the thought of giving himself fully to someone purely because he is terrified to fail them. Heâs afraid of losing them because heâs not strong enough to protect them. He also has not found anyone he would be willing to give himself to. Well, there is someone, butâŠ
⯠Farah || By far his best friend, Haru would do anything for Farah, even protect her with his life. They may not be related by blood, but he thinks of her as his little sister.
âDidn't I already answer this? Come on, why ask the same question over and over?â
âPersonalityâ
Out-Spoken | Flamboyant | Flirtatious | Loyal
Haru is very much his motherâs son. He knows his personality and heâs not afraid to let it be known. Heâll flirt with anything he finds attractive, and is not afraid to speak his mind. If he doesnât like something, heâll be against it, all the way. He is more than a little eccentric as well.
His head-strong and rambunctious ways has earned him quite the reputation around the academy. Haru is well known for his reputation of sleeping around, and also that he wonât sleep with anyone he considers a friend. He actually tries to not sleep with anyone at the academy, if only so he doesnât have to face them again. He knows how clingy lovers can get.
Haru is more loyal than one might think, at least to his family. He would die for any and all of them, hands down. Even with his disinterest in fighting, he will do whatever he has to do to keep them safe, even the ones older than him. Over-all, Haru is a kind guy with a bit of a rebellious side, and heâs not afraid to let people know what heâs thinking.
âMy past is really quite boring.â
âHistoryâ
Haru is the youngest child, and only son, of Sora and Nicole Akarui. He was entirely planned, unlike his sisters, as Nicole wanted another child. Haru was a normal enough child, though it was quite obvious from the start that he was going to become a heartbreaker. When he reached his teens, it became apparent just what the boy was when his parents walked in on him with not one, but two others in his bed. What made it even more interesting was the fact that it was a female and a male.
His parents really didnât seem to mind, at least not after his mother got over the initial shock. Since then, sheâs given him one stipulation. So long as it does not go on under her roof, heâs welcome to as many lovers as he wants. Haru agreed to this quite readily. Since then, heâs made quite a name for himself in the Academy.
In regards to the war, Haru is there for his family, though he prefers to stay off the battlefield. He does, however, make an appearance from time to time, when it is necessary or he feels the need to fight. This is not very often, but with the war escalating, it just may be that he begins to make more and more of an appearance.
âAnything else? No? Good.â
