Spoiler:

-- His beanie hides a scar in the form of an upside-down cross on his forefront, this is the reason why he never takes it off no matter what.

Personality:
Seshou is an incredibly vital person, full of life and energy to the point he is hyperactive and bouncing around most of the time, even if he knows how to stay calm when he sees it fit, which isn't very often though. He'll accept all chances life gives him to have fun, especially if he can do so alongside others, for even when things Seshou would normally consider boring are completely worth it if shared, for a fond memory is worth that price and more, since a life full of them is a life well liven.

Just as you'd expect from someone so energetic, Seshou acts childishly. What you don't expect though is the fact that he is very mature. In reality, he just chooses not to act accordingly, what leads him to make a fool out of himself thanks to his innocent self. He is still not the sharpest tool in the box, yet his wisdom is incredibly profound and much greater than your average Joe. However, the times when he decides to share it directly are rare, for he prefers letting others obtain it themselves through their own experience, setting the path for them to choose to follow or not at most.

Perhaps Seshou's most remarkable trait is his cheerfulness. Always with a true smile on his face, he is very hard to anger or to bring down, and even with he is, it doesn't last long the vast majority of times. His happiness is so overwhelming it is contagious, making everyone around him lighten up. Because of this and his honest to god interest on the welfare of all people, be it friends or total strangers, he is a truly lovable individual that will do everything on his hand to make your life even if only a little better without expecting nothing back at all. Since he automatically considers everyone around him his friend, he wears his heart out in the open, hiding almost no secrets from anyone... This makes him extremely vulnerable and he knows it, yet, he wouldn't have it any other way.

However, this combination of traits combined with his often weird or even creepy mannerisms makes some people think he has hidden intentions or even that he is dangerous, what couldn't be further from the truth. Shun away by many that won't give him a chance, he finds himself in a situation were his willingness to do good mean little, for not too many people will give him in an opportunity. Instead of giving up because of this, he chooses to be a small steps hero, affecting those around him so they affect those around them in return. This is Seshou’s way of saving the world, by setting the change in motion with a gentle push.

Another side to Seshou is the way he perceives himself and the world around him. For him, it is undenayable that life is a game without a definite purpose other than to have some fun, it is also true for him that everything and everyone in the world is condemned to absolute oblivion, and thus, when even the memories of everything are gone forever, there will be no difference on wether or not anything ever existed. Thus, for Seshou, the fleeting nature of the world means that reality ultimately does not exist. Normally, this two facts combined would mean that there’s no reason to care about anyone nor to fight fo anything, for everything is destined to fade without exceptions... And yet, Seshou, though he knows he is ultimately fated to fail, chooses not to surrender in the fight against this existential dread, for even if life’s a dream and dreams are nothing else than what they are, this should be a happy one for every dreamer.

Yet, despite everything else, there’s something haunting Seshou... Something born from from his father’s words, that took root on his heart, creating a sense of insecurity about who he really is. He keeps telling himself it was only a load of shit from a madman’s mouth... But then again, he has seen on the streets many madmen who, despite the appearances, spoke more truth than any common man.

The Background

History:

The day he became 11, everything changed for Seshou. And no, unfortunately it doesn't have anything to do with Hogwarts.

Seshou was born within a pretty average family. His mother was the typical housewife, his sister, just as annoying as any other little sister in the world and his father was just a moderately successful businessman. He himself didn't have anything special about him. Life was plainly normal and comfortable. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad at all either.

However, as I said before, this simple and pleasant lifestyle was cut short when he became eleven.

It was his birthday!, Seshou's big day arrived at last after a long wait. Today, he would get a taste of his favorite cake and he would receive the toys he wanted so much~

Rushing to get home as soon as possible, he was there just a few minutes after school finished. Going towards the door full of excitement, he hastily opened it to say hi to his family, that would surely be awaiting him in the reception room.

However... When he opened the door, he was received by no one... In fact, there wasn't even a single light on in the house and the darkness... Dumbfounded, the boy just stood there, staring at the darkness until he decided it must have been a blackout or something... Penetrating into the darkness, Seshou stepped inside the house, without closing the door just in case. "Hello?, Mom?, Dad?" he called as he walked towards the living room, "It's me, Seshou, I'm home!"

Still no response... Seshou was starting to feel uneasy and even fearful in the middle of the inscrutable darkness...

And then, he reached the living room.

A most foul scent hit his face making him dizzy and greatly nauseated for a moment. The air was impregnated with a warm essence that was both full of smells Seshou had already smelt before and others he had not... Seshou knew one thing though. That he didn't like it.

Completely terrified, he advanced towards the source of the smell, trying to identify what the hell was that, and then, he tripped with something.

The impact, with the thing, which was big, made him fall all over it, giving him an involuntary feel of it. It was soft, quite warm yet wet and apparently it was composed of several connected pieces, his hand involuntarily touching a sort of sluggish tube, as if it was a gigantic worm. In terror and shaking too badly because of the contact with the unknown object, Seshou crawled as far as he could from it until he hit the wall with his back. It was then wen he noticed him. The imposing silhouette of his father on the entrance of the room. The man, covered in shadows, was holding something rather large in his hand.

For a moment, the man just stood there in silence, observing him from the door... However, this did not last too long. With a slow yet decided step, he got into the room, moving straight towards Seshou. It was when he was more or less at the center of the room that he stopped again, and with a dull sound, a single birthday candle was lit.

"Welcome home son."

His father, who he now saw the face of for the first time, was looking at him with cold raging eyes... And all of him was covered with blood.

The light of the candle was feeble, yet it was enough for Seshou to see. The first thing he noticed was that the object his father was holding on his wright hand was an enormous machete, all of it drenched of blood to the hilt to the point the crimson liquid dripped to the ground. It wasn't much longer until he looked to the room around him.

What he saw still plagues his nightmares. The walls, the floor and even the ceiling were red with the color of the vital liquid... And the object he had tripped with was his gutted mother, who's intestines sprawled all across the floor.

Terrorized and full of nausea, Seshou vomited on the floor. He would have asked himself questions such as 'why?', but he could do nothing, nothing but tremble and vomit.

However, the nightmare was not over. Still holding the candle, his father kept advancing towards him... "You... You monster... You should have never been born...", he stated as he impassibly drawn nearer and nearer until he finally was towering above a Seshou that desperately tried to protect himself with his arms as he trembled both against the floor and the wall. However, the awaited slash never came to end with his life. Instead, his father threw the candle away, submerging both of them into the darkness again, just to grab the child by his neck and raise him above the floor, pushing him against the wall.

"Let me give you a present in this day, my dear boy", he said, as Seshou felt the cold steel and blood against his forehead In a second, two slices were made, lacerating his skin. Then, Seshou found himself hitting the floor as his father dropped him. Shortly after, he felt a stream of a hot liquid of a strong smell against his face and body. it took Seshou a moment to realize. Urine... It was urine...

"And never forget", he said once he was done with him. "You are the Antichrist."

And with that, he was gone. Not looking at his son a once again, he just turned and walked out just like he walked in, leaving Seshou to spend the night alongside the butchered discomposing corpses of his mother and most likely his sister as he trembled while his soul fell to pieces, each screaming in agony.

Of the next days, Seshou does not remember anything, just that suddenly he found himself living in the street, his life depending on the mercy of those around them. And for years, that was it. Seshou just sat on the same spot, just as still as he had been against the wall that night, waiting for someone to throw a few coins at him and just moving enough to buy something to eat with them either once a day or after several days, so he did not die of hunger.

However, two years after living as a beggar on the street, he realized something. He was getting weaker. Day after day, week after week, his health grow worse. It was only a matter of time that he died.

Thus, Seshou found himself with a choice to make. Either give up, lie down and wait for death, or to stand up and survive, clinging to life with his nails and teeth. For a moment, he thought of following his family to wherever the dead went, if they went anywhere that is... Yet... The idea terrorized him... For some reason he did not want to die.

"Well, then there's only one thing left to do...", said Seshou as he got up.

If souls made noise, an loud CRACK would have been heard, wether it would have signified something within Seshou snapping in place or out of it, he didn't know. Yet...

For the first time in more than two years, Seshou's lips curled into a smile... He was feeling... Powerful... For the first time he realized that he held the power to mold his life, to make it become heaven... All was within his grasp... Even leaving the past behind.

And thus, Seshou begun to work tirelessly from dawn to dusk and from dusk to dawn. Slowly, he managed to gather a rather large amount of money he used to buy a bar when he was 18 that soon got quite popular, just as him, that gained quite a lot of friends... For the first time, he felt truly happy... Even if the path had been a living hell, he was finally emerged. And god himself be witness, he felt at the top of the world.
