PLAYER: Mini CHARACTER: Dazai Osamu CANON: Bungou to Alchemist
AU NAME: Tsushima Shuji AU AGE: 24 AU OCCUPATION: College student/part-time in retail BLURB: - Second-generation immigrant: his parents came over from Aomori, Japan, after a run of bad fortune convinced them that the only way they could get their lives back on track was to shake things up, and they'd always wanted to live in a big city anyway. - They speak a lot of Japanese at home, and Shuji's embarrassed to speak Japanese in front of anyone other than his parents, even if most people here don't know Tsugaru-ben's reputation. - An only child! His relationship with his parents is awkward due to his difficulties with school and him actually learning how to support himself, but there's no doubt they love each other. - Shuji has always been bright, but one of those kids who thinks that being bright is enough to get him to pass through school and college flawlessly even if he doesn't study and spends his time writing in his notebook or listening to fifty different Youtube (or whatever it's called here) channels about fashion or flirting with girls- - Unsurprisingly, this doesn't go all that well for him in college. He's currently on his third attempt at college: the first two ended somewhat similarly, with him taking breaks in between. He'd try his best for a while and then get distracted by other, more fun pursuits, then feeling bad about getting distracted would make him want to cheer himself up, and so forth until he had to withdraw. Right now he's still doing okay in this attempt, but who knows. - Of course he's majoring in literature. - To help encourage responsibility, his parents have required him to get a part-time job this time around, so he's working in some sort of retail thing. This is probably not good for his mental state, but it was the first thing he could find available. He tends to be easily cowed by customers, and his coworkers have probably all seen him cry at least once. - Lives at the dorms for that sweet, sweet roommate CR. LOOKING FOR: College friends - a roommate, classmates (especially fellow literature/other fine arts majors), teachers who he's begged for extra time on a project or who remember him from his previous two attempts at the same school. Anyone who's interested in writing would be cool as a 'meet up for coffee or (more likely) alcohol and talk about Art' thing. If anyone does Youtube channels, he might be a subscriber? More of a long shot, but it'd be awesome to have someone famous in either the literature or fashion worlds that Shuji could get his fanboy on over.
