Personality/Attributes
Personality/Attitude:
Tsubasa has Asperger's syndrome, which affects his social comprehension and mental state. He is emotionally impaired, struggling to empathize with others and quick to anger or sadness. He speaks flatly in a formal tone, and suffers from anxiety and depression which he must take medication for. He likes to be isolated, run each day as a routine, and be in control of situations. He also collects and tinkers with outdated computers, primarily Commodore systems.
Skills/Talents:
Tsubasa is in college to become a biologist after growing up on a family farm and brewery. His skills aren't practical - he can grow crops well enough, brew beer if necessary, and is very knowledgeable about plants and animals. He's not strong, he's never been in a fight, and he's struggled even with mere socialization.
Favorites/Likes:
Tsubasa likes old computers, food, spending time with what few friends he thinks he has, and reading manga. Manga, to him, is like a window into other lives - lives in which he's normal, makes a difference, and is cared about.
Most Hated/Dislikes:
Tsubasa despises loud noises, unpleasant smells, and being touched unwillingly. He's not used to adversity, and may 'shut off' and stare silently at the ground if overwhelmed; if agitated or harassed, he is prone to violent flashes of rage in which he's broken furniture, windows, or even hit people. He becomes very submissive and remorseful after these flashes pass, afraid to speak with those involved. He has lost many friends this way.
Goals/Ambitions:
Tsubasa wants to become a horticulturalist and start his own nursery, where he can spend time with plants more than people. If that doesn't work out, he can always take over the farm.
Strengths:
Tsubasa is easily stressed, but not by things that would bother most people. He worries about whether or not he locked the door to his apartment, if he remembered to get the mail, what people are thinking about him, and the like. He obsesses about such simple things, but being yelled at or threatened does little to shake him up.
Weaknesses:
Tsubasa is not physically strong. He feels desperately lonely, but rarely finds anyone he can tolerate sharing a space with. When he does, he inevitably manages to drive them away. I feel that other weaknesses have been adequately covered.
Fears:
Tsubasa fears isolation, but struggles to handle being in loud or busy environments. Animals are his solace here, and he keeps a tank of fish, He also fears above all else that he will live and die alone, with no children or wife.
Philosophy of Life:
He takes life one day at a time, struggling to not dwell on the past or worry about the future. He's done this his whole life, having gotten used to it and in doing so often give off a complacent vibe.
Attitude Toward Death:
Tsubasa is not afraid of death, but does not want to die until he is satisfied with his life.
Beliefs:
Tsubasa is open to all beliefs. He was raised in Shinto but does not practice it, is uncertain of his own sexuality, and cannot provide an opinion on whether spirits and demons are real or not.
Most Instructive/Painful/Memorable Experience:
Tsubasa was just mugged. After two years of taking the same alley home from the campus, he was ambushed and his cycle was broken. He was stunned as he struggled to come up with a solution, ignoring the thug's demands. Tsubasa lashed out when the thug tried to grab his arm, and in return for his strike found a blade cut his face twice. As he curled up on the ground to scream and clutch his wounds, the thug fished his wallet from his pocket and hurried off.
Tsubasa stumbled to the nearest hospital only to find it empty - depressed by isolation in his darkest hour, he treated his own wounds as he sobbed and set out to find a bed to sleep in there.
He could never be prepared for the world ending as he rested.
