<div class="floatright">(http://imgur.com/SymMlqg.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Matsumoto Tatsuya<br/><strong>Age:</strong>17<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Japanese (from Hyogo, if it matters)<br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>Tall for a Japanese boy, he stands 5''10. Other notable features include a scar in his lower forearm, the result of being attacked by a dog (which consequently caused his entire phobia of dogs), and one  on his lower back, the result of being stabbed by his mother (see background) he's not especially athletic, although his part time job has helped him bulk up<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. Preferred in fact<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Any of Tatsuya's schoolmates would have no difficulty coming up with one word to sum him up, but that word would vary radically depending on who you asked. To lower classmen either "bully" or "cool" to those in his age group, more likely "taciturn" or possibly "mean". He maintains a small group of close friends, and doesn't behave badly enough to join that layer that's considered "delinquents", but he also isn't the top of his class. Tatsuya is simply a person who's accepted that his circumstances mean he'll be caring for his family forever, and that school is just taking time away from his ability to maintain his family. He wants to graduate and start working. However, he has a deep respect for his elders, and conversely expects the same respect from those under him. Not one to forget an honorific, or let someone who's forgotten his go unpunished. He takes kindness for weakness, and at times could be argued has a cruel streak, he could certainly have turned out a bully, or a star student, depending, if his sense of duty towards his family and their circumstances hadn't molded him as is. A complete virgin, he's resigned himself to never meeting a girl as long as his parents live.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>To call the Matsumoto household unstable is a little like saying the sun is hot, or the ocean is wet. Mrs. Matsumoto suffers from a stage two neurological disorder, called Neural Autophagic  Disorder reducing her brain functions to the equivalent of an 8 year old. Her long term memory does not exist, being unable to retain memories more than 24 hours old. She occasionally relapses into moments of lucidity, which make this all more painful, especially when during these moments she cannot recognize her own son. On one occasion this led to her thinking he was a robber and stabbing him. The treatments to alleviate this disorder are immunosuppressors, which are costly, and means she is often sick.<br/><br/>Mr. Matsumoto is a different issue entirely. In order to sustain his wife, and to avoid dealing with her as much as possible, he works 16 hour shifts. He's also well known to frequent women of the night, and as a result his family's reputation is slightly tainted. In the times he is home, it is clear he is troubled by his wife's condition, to the point where he pretends it doesn't exist. Financially the family is barely able to make ends meet with the help of Tatsuya's part time job<br/><br/>Tatsuya does the early morning deliveries for the local Nakahara bakery, this means he is up at 4 and helps unload several sacks of flour, on top of any additional preparation they need done that day. In the evenings he is employed by the same bakery to clean and close, with precious few hours to himself. He is currently looking for a job to fill the weekends, and has an interview scheduled with a freight moving company this weekend, although they don't often take part timers, he knows they currently need one or two.<br/><br/>Right now his grades are middling, and he has no plans for college. No club activities. Graduate and start working!<br/><br/><strong>Ons:</strong>Dom situations, expressing anger, bullying, cruelty<br/><strong>Offs:</strong>Not much. Scat, Pee, vomit, very little else.<br/><strong>Ons/Offs thread:</strong>here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=70481)
