TIANRAN<br/><br/>1) Political and philosophical ideology<br/>Tianran was raised in the middle of nowhere, China and educated on a need-to-know basis by the Grigori program. His political and philosophical exposure is not very large. Personally, Tianran has a very firm sense of duty. He pilots so that he can feed his family and fulfill his social responsibility as a sync-compatible soldier. He adheres to this duty so strictly that nothing else is considered as important when making decisions. This includes his personal health, emotional state, and how much he even cares about the fate of humanity. (Hint: he is starting to care very, very little.)<br/><br/>2) Habits and hobbies<br/>Tianran is meticulously clean, so he spends a good chunk of his time preparing his own food and tidying up. Although he is polite in everyday conversation, he has a massive gambling streak and really enjoys poker and mahjong. Most of his off-duty hours are spent cleaning, exercising, and eating. Tianran also meditates every morning before breakfast and sometimes in the evenings, if he's not being forced into socialization with his co-pilots.<br/><br/>He doesn't particularly like reading, so he sketches to pass the time. He doesn't have any formal training, but after keeping it up for several years, he's gotten pretty decent. If he can leave the compound to sketch from life, he prefers to do that, but otherwise he sketches from photos. Very occasionally he'll do portraits for others, but he considers this a fairly intimate procedure.<br/><br/>3) Food and drink<br/>Rice porridge. Tandoori chicken. Mapo tofu. Indian rice pudding. Tamales. Pork buns. Baked oysters. Food is one of Tianran's few untarnished pleasures in life. He'll scarf down a five-course meal like it's nothing. As for drink, he's a big fan of tea, particularly Jasmine and Darjeeling.<br/><br/>4) Favorite music<br/>Tianran doesn't listen to music. If he did, he would probably enjoy those awful Asian ballads that only old people sing at karaoke.<br/><br/>Theme song:<br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeXbZgvvths<br/><br/>Voice actors: ....Takahiro Sakurai or Hiroshi Kamiya. //////;;;; This one's super easy because Tianran is modeled partially after Kanda Yu (D.Gray-man) and I noticed recently how similar his character is to Levi (Shingeki no Kyojin).
