<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Tai Yousuke </em></span><br/><br/>Character Sheet (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I_YbO2CmVjOEM8VFIx9opz255k8Ar5PKNJB-i9UoMqQ/edit)<br/><br/>Tai was a bright kid growing up. He excelled at sports, got decent grades, and generally got along well with everyone, a star student some would say. However with talent came expectations, and with expectations came pressure. The adults in Tai's life saw his potential, and did everything they could to ensure he made use of it, enrolling him in school programs, sports teams, extra curriculars, you name it. While Tai was never particularly enthusiastic about any of these things, he still excelled at them, and so mistaking his talent for passion his parents always pushed him to keep going and commit no matter what. It wasn't until late high school that the stress and pressure of it all really started to get to him. He found himself increasingly stressed and anxious, borderline depressed. He didn't take any joy in what he was doing, but his parents' "no quit" mentality was so heavily drilled into him that he couldn't bring himself to just drop out.<br/><br/>It was then that Tai discovered his first true passion: fashion, specifically crossdressing and cosplay. He stumbled upon it online, and was so taken by it that he began secretly dressing up himself. Over time he started posting pictures and videos of himself online, creating the online persona "T-Chan", becoming more and more bold in how he expressed himself. It ended up becoming a form of stress relief, his escape from the strict, rigid life he was stuck in. Whenever he was stressed, whenever the pressure was getting to him, there was comfort in knowing he could just throw on a wig and some make up and goof off pretending to be a ditzy gyaru on camera. He didn't have to worry about competing for something, he didn't have to be fast or smart or push himself, there weren't any expectations to live up to. He could just have fun. Eventually his following grew to the point were people at school started recognizing him, exposing him to the public. However instead of feeling ashamed of his secret he actually embraced it even further, taking advantage of his exposure to come out and start openly crossdressing in public, embracing it as part of his identity.<br/><br/>Currently Tai is attending university on a sports scholarship (might as well make use of all those years of practice right?), though majors in fashion and business. He's the current ace of the football team, a position he takes very seriously, while also still making content online, having considerably grown his following after graduating highschool. Of course it's a lot to balance all at once, and he couldn't imagine suddenly having even more responsibility thrust upon him...though at least he has experience living a double life, right?
