Kazuhiko Yukimi | Nabari no Ou
CHARACTER: Kazuhiko Yukimi
CANON: Nabari no Ou
AU NAME: Kazuhiko Yukimi
AU AGE: 28
AU OCCUPATION: Journalist? Blogger?? Disaster of a teacher???? This remains to be seen.
BLURB:
• "Dislikes: Children, pure love tales, pills"
• That's kind of a great summation of him, but a better one is that he's actually just angry about how much he secretly cares for children. He will bitch and moan and gripe, but what a child needs, Yukimi's grumpy ass provides.
• In canon, he and his younger sister, Kazuho, lived in a household with a physically abusive father; Yukimi defended his sister as best he could, until finally a physical altercation was so bad that it left Yukimi with permanent scarring, and saw his father off to prison. After that, the siblings were alone, until they were taken underneath the wing of a particular opportunist.
• As far as his AU backstory goes, I'm going to see him having been in the foster system for quite some time—haven't decided whether he stayed with or without his sister during foster care. But I do know that he developed very much into the role of an older brother for many of his foster siblings over the years, and so that fierce protectiveness of children remains and perhaps is even emphasized.
• Except he's still a grumpy ass, having turned out as quite the delinquent. He got a lot of it out of his system during his teens, but some of the attitude definitely remains here in adulthood.
• He's a journalist in canon, and I'm trying to decide how to include his writing in this AU. I could easily go the journalist route for him here as well, but I'm toying with the idea of him being a teacher—literature? Japanese? Photography? Several possibilities. He'd be such a crabby teacher, not wanting to deal with disrespectful or annoying kids more than necessary, but he'd also be in the perfect position to be a Concerned Teacher for Problem Children or kids who are struggling. I may go ahead and think about other careers as well though...
• In canon, he loses his right arm at age 27 in an altercation. I've been pondering what sort of injuries he may have sustained in this AU, but I'm still thinking about it. I'm also trying to decide how fresh to keep that for him—is he still early in the adjustment period of lacking this arm, or has he been living with it for some time... etc. Either way, physical therapy at a medical center could create potential CR if there are any other characters who receive routine medical treatment somewhere.
• He fucking loves cats. He is crazy about cats. He acts down to earth about it, but he so is not. He will do anything for a cat.
• Probably a food blogger, trying out local restaurants. Sometimes goes too far and ends up blogging through a binged-out haze. Known for never missing an opportunity to include pictures of his cat(s?), even if he has to create those opportunities himself.
• Still trying to decide how he ended up in Recolle! Whether he was here since childhood in the foster system, whether he came over from Japan... I'll figure it out.
• Still tends to go just by "Yukimi", habitually, but he'll introduce himself as Kazuhiko if it suits the situation, so people are free to call him that as well. He resented his surname for a long time, it being the name of a man who caused himself and his sister so much harm, but at the same time, Yukimi was an angry child, and couldn't accept any of the foster parents he had as actual parental figures to him. "Yukimi" is, in some ways, a bit of a reclamation for him, and also a reminder and relic of his self-destructive refusal to form familial relationships with adults. This means, though, that he Gets It when other foster kids do the same.
• All in all, he's hotheaded and irritable, but if he cares about something, good god, he cares so freaking much.
LOOKING FOR:
• Unruly children who need a hand. Well-behaved children who need a hand regardless. He's such a dad even if he won't admit it, and I'm eager to play with that.
• Potential students if I go through with him being a teacher??? His teaching style would depend on how he feels on any given day; some classwork will be held to high standards and taught very seriously, but in other cases, he'll give the sort of meme quizzes kids post pictures of to twitter for viral cred, or tell the class to be quiet and not bother him while he watches cat videos on his phone or blogs about food. He's a procrastinator and his students are likely to sometimes suffer for that.
• Other people who have been or are in the foster system.
• Drinking buddies?! Get him going and let him show you his favorite cat videos on youtube.
• Anyone you think would jive with him!!!
There are a lot of ideas I'm still working on or trying to iron out, but if any of this interests you, let me know!!
