<div class="floatright">(http://i1.minus.com/i50MlVjgDR40D.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Kurugaya, Shinya<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Half Japanese, Half American<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>Shinya is taller than most of his classmates, standing at 6'1''. He weighs roughly 190 lbs, and it shows in his physical strength and stature. He has a single scar on his left forearm, running from his wrist all the way up to his elbow. Far from self inflicted, the injury he sustained was from a knife wound during a fight in which he was defending his twin sister from boys his same age. Other than that, he has no real blemishes.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Straight.<br/><br/><strong>Are you willing to swap minds with a character who’s gender is opposite of your own?:</strong>Yes<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Shinya is essentially a carbon copy of his own father, an American who used to be stationed in Japan - though he doesn't know it yet - Shinya is someone who deals with his problems head on. He's very protective of his twin sister, who is much smaller and fragile than him. He despises delinquents, but some of his actions suggest he is one himself. Usually a bystander, Shinya is quick to action when someone he knows or cares about is involved. When it comes to women, he is more gentle than anything, but can quickly change his outlook of someone once he gets to know them.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Shinya's father was an American Marine stationed in Japan. An easy assignment led the man to do stupid things, and perhaps they were reasons for his reassignment back to the States. William Anderson was the son of a rich American family, one with contacts and enough money to comfortably feed their five kids. However, the eldest son (William) wasn't so fond of some of his father's endeavors, and sought a life in the military instead of one behind a desk.<br/><br/>Fast forward a few years, and William is out on leave one night when he meets a Japanese girl whose beauty rivaled the moon's. After a few weekends and a few drinks, the two became close and eventually slept with one another. However, William was sent back to the states, leaving the woman to her own devices and two children growing within her.<br/><br/>As a single mother, Kurugaya Saeko took it upon herself to raise both her son and daughter with very little support from anyone else. That was until she began receiving checks in the mail, along with letters of apology and sorrows. William had used his father's fortune and hoped to help ease Saeko's expenses.<br/><br/>Now, present day, Shinya and his sister live in absolute comfort and paradise. Their multistory house features every commodity they could ever dream of having. The neighborhood they live in is full of like minded and wealthy people, including girls his age that prefer his stature and charm over that of their native counterparts.<br/><br/>Of course, not all was well for Shinya. Boys his age often called him names like 'bastard' or 'mutt', and the number of fights he got into had long been lost to him. His sister suffered the same fate, often talked down upon as if she wasn't worth anything at all. Their mother tried to make the best of the situation, but money couldn't buy silence.<br/><br/>Now, Shinya is trying to start a new life at a new school, hoping that people judge him by his actions there, and not because of the family he came from. His sister transferred as well, and has already made friends among the girls in her class. Shinya could only hope to do the same.<br/><br/>Aside from family life, Shinya has no job and tends to focus on exercise and swimming more than anything. Every morning is started with a brisk jog before he bathes and heads to school.<br/><br/><strong>Ons:</strong>Intelligence, girls, older/younger, foreplay, dirty talk, girls into fitness, smaller breasts, people who are a match for him in a fight.<br/><strong>Offs:</strong>The general nasty stuff that doesn't belong in sexual encounters.
