LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW
B A S I C I N F O
★ NAME: Masamune Sato
★ NICKNAME: Moose
★ MEMBER GROUP: Gijinka
★ POKEMON: Stantler
★ STATUS Illegal
★ AGE: 25
★ HEIGHT: 6'0"
★ WEIGHT: 175 lbs.
★ FACE CLAIM: Ichijo Takuma from Vampire Knight
★ APPEARANCE:
Although he's above average in height, he's not at all bulky. Instead he's lean in build with an unseen, underlying strength the belies his general appearance. In fact, his appearance in general belies his personality. He appears innocent and sweet and while he is in some aspects, he's someone that shouldn't be underestimated. As someone who has been forced to live off of second hand clothing most of his life, he revels in the feel of soft fabrics on his skin, and wears comfortable clothes that match well with his coloring and the seasons. He doesn't care much for decoration, and what jewelry he does own is shoddy and handmade. What he does carry plenty of on his body are marks and scars from all the years he spent on the streets - fights, accidents, general clumsiness are all permanently etched on his skin.

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:
At first glance, Masamune is someone that you'd assume is an easy target. He doesn't look like a threat, and he certainly doesn't give off violent vibes. But get a little closer, do something to set off his alarms, and he's all fierceness and strength. He grew up with strangers around him walking all over him, but that's no more. He's courageous and maybe even a little bit thick, but he's willing to get into a fight if it means protecting himself or someone else. That's not to say he's always in the right or always strong, but he does his best to keep himself from sinking into the despair he often felt growing up.
Now that he's on his own, for the first time in his life, Masamune finds he doesn't like being alone. As illegal of a gijinka as he is, he does his best to stay out of the spotlight, and large crowds tend to make him nervous. But he visits his parents often and tries to find companionship with others like him. He's careful though, cautious, and sometimes that little inkling of fear that someone or something can't be trusted keeps him from reaching out. He's not a socially inept creature, but instead one that wants the company, but is learning how to be fine without it.
Having been poor as a child, he's learned how to pinch and save up. He's not comfortable, not by any means, but he's frugal and tends to be overly so. He doesn't shop unless he has to, and prefers to "find" whatever he needs for daily living. Is he a thief? Only when he has to be, and even then he doesn't take from the same source more than once. He's trying to slowly move towards more honest living, but a part of him doesn't want to let go of what he learned on the streets. So he's trying to find a balance between the two, and knows saving up is the key to that.

H I S T O R Y
- Masamune's birth was a bittersweet event. His family, poor and living on the streets, had no idea how they were going to afford to feed and clothe another child. None the less, they made due with what they had, and tightened their belts just to ensure the new addition was properly taken care of. Growing up, Masamune never had any idea just how bad things were until he was teased for being a common "street rat". Despite their circumstances, his parents made sure that all their children knew the importance of hard work and education, and they were pleased when Masamune seemed to yearn for more books, more learning, and more general knowledge.
- The virus swept quickly through the streets. While each of Masamune's family members were made ill by it, he was the only one that remained untouched - or so it seemed. While his parents battled their own illness and tended to their other sick children, Masamune did his best to hide his own symptoms from them. By the time it became apparent that he was in the throes of the illness, his siblings were dead and his parents cured thanks to their employers. Those very same employers wouldn't pay for Masamune to be cured, and desperate to save their last child, they took him to the underground.
- The cure did indeed help, and if anything, made Masamune stronger. It also changed him, in other ways, just as it had his parents. Now a gijinka, he started to realize he had the abilities of a Stantler, and while he wanted to explore what he could do with his new powers, his parents insisted he keep things under wraps. He didn't receive the cure from legal means, after all, and if it was discovered what had happened... Masamune wasn't thrilled with the news, but he was alive at least and that was enough for him.
- For a time, it was enough. Eventually the stubbornness he developed thanks to the cure made him test the range of where he could go and what he could do. He learned quickly how to move around, and using his past knowledge as a "street rat", he was able to keep most of his activities under wraps. After his parents found employment on a farm on the outer skirts of the city, Masamune made the decision to remain in Aether. There we pinched and saved, managed to find a place of his own to live in, but none of it kept him from keeping his skills on the streets sharp. After all, there would inevitably be a place and time when he would need them to keep himself alive.
