+1 nerd

[at_too_low]

Hello! Finishing the trio of related introductions, I'm Tonake and I'm bringing you this nerd here!

Atsuro is an enthusiastic, science-oriented youth and a double little brother figure to Mari and Kaido. He spends a lot of time trying to learn as much as he can about things that interest him (of which there are plenty, from history to cooking in field conditions to physical training to Pokemon behavior to, most of all, technology). He also spends a lot of time discreetly keeping an eye on Kaido, being of the (not-so-baseless) belief that the guy would get into too much trouble otherwise.

He's surprisingly easy-going and probably likely to make friends with almost anyone. You can also expect him to jump up at about any opportunity to be of use to other people (from helping find a lost Pokemon to going scouting in Old City, or outside Union). He talks a lot, manages to turn about anything into a conversation about his interests (of which there are, once again, plenty), and can jump from topic to topic to topic into eternity. People who know him quickly learn that if you don't shut him up, he's completely capable of going on forever, feeding off his own contribution to the conversation.

His application is here, and his AU planning post is here! I'm looking forward to playing him if not with everyone, then at least with some people.

Yesssss, recognition. Although to be honest, I still don't know how it happened considering I've only ever watched playthroughs and even then I could tell it was, uh, not the most QUALITY game. I think the fact the nerd was the sole survivor helped.

(I'd say nobody else plays from that game, but I know there's someone who RPs a character from the 1.0 version for some reason.)

totally not going to point out the riches in translated RPG Maker horror games now in hopes of inspiring new muses in people nope

And yeah, he could use friends. Right now, he thinks he really sucks in the "being a friend" department.

Well yeah, it's not exactly ~quality~ but there's still... something about it. God, I remember how I laughed about the Onis at first (haha look at that, that's just some really awful photoshop job, how can THAT be scary) but once I started playing it. Really was scary. I FELT BOTH RIDICULOUS AND TERRIFIED it's probably the "being chased" factor that made it more scary? I've had a lot of nightmares about this kind of thing (for different reasons though), so it kinda hit close to home. Anyway the game was both ridiculous and stupidly enjoyable in some way (but also frustrating. GOD, some of the puzzles)

And tbh I was more expecting to someone from the NPCs? Like... I don't know, Takeshi maybe. Or Mika trying to be no-nonsense about things... Though I guess it makes sense no one's playing them (because they're DEAAAAD).

Also heh, Atsuro can pretty much make friends with people without them actually being friendly to him, so it's not that much of a problem. Also he canonly has a friend who's somewhat of a guilt-issues-ridden megane nerd, so like. He has Experience with this kind of thing. Also, they match - Atsuro has a nerd white hat, Hiroshi has a nerd white scarf. It's totally destiny.
