Appearance:

Faceclaim:

Izayoi appears as a young, short man standing at 5 feet, 4 inches, with a rather lithe body that weighs 136 pounds. His legs and arms are slender, yet toned, the outlines of his ribs in his torso are faintly visible, and his waist is rather small. The young man has messy, black hair, tired blue eyes, and a small nose.
Izayoi's clothing style is very casual, often wearing a light blue t-shirt, a dark olive green jacket, baggy, denim jeans, and a pair of lightweight, black sneakers. Other clothes of interest are his black and blue striped, fingerless arm warmers, and a gauze bandage wrapped around his forehead (claiming that it 'keeps nightmares away').

Personality: Izayoi is a calm, shy individual, who carries a great sense of judgement and loyalty with him. He doesn't talk much in group conversations, and has trouble making coherent sentences at times, occasionally stuttering and 'tripping over his words', causing him to often apologize, even if there isn't a large reason to say sorry. But his stoic and relaxed personality gives him a great analytical side, often the one to point out small flaws or possible outcomes if the answer is clear to him. His eyes constantly study his surroundings, almost to an obsessive, paranoid scale.
Izayoi has a small issue with self-esteem, as well. He has enough hope in his eyes and voice to at least keep a positive outlook to the best of his ability, yet he can go through massive mood swings at a hair trigger. One moment, he may be happy, but in the blink of an eye, he may be choking up and crying, or furious and in a state of rage, most of the time induced through a mistake he made. But despite all of that, he always aims for his everyday goal. To do what's right for the ones he cares about, even if it's at his own sacrifice.

The Potential

Strengths:
—Strength Name: Perseverance
—Description: Whatever stands in his way, be it a small annoyance, or something large that he has to overcome, Izayoi always gives it his best to try and plow through the obstacle, no matter what. He believes that anything can be accomplished.

—Strength Name: Selfless
—Description: Izayoi cares more about the people he holds dear to him much more than he cares for himself. He will do anything to protect anyone in danger, or even just help someone with their math homework. As far as he's concerned, helping people will only bring good into his life.

—Strength Name: Attentive
—Description: One of Izayoi's biggest strengths is his attention. He pays close attention to everything that he sees, hears, touches, even smells. He often looks at things closely to see anything that may not be clear at first glance. But even he needs some time to find out what something means, so his intuition isn't perfect, just above average at least.

—Strength Name: Athletic Speed
—Description: Due to his light build and frequent cardiovascular exercise, Izayoi is great at running, able to run faster than an average person. But even though he can sprint quickly, he does have a weakness that ties in with this.

Weaknesses:
—Weakness Name: Paranoid
—Description: Izayoi perhaps looks at things a bit too closely. He wonders about a lot of possible outcomes that a situation an have, and normally gets afraid of the chance that things might go wrong. He doesn't really show it too often, but he is always very uncertain of things, whether it's trusting someone who may be suspicious, or thinking about a possible accident that may happen.

—Weakness Name: Insomniac Through Nightmares
—Description: After being put through a lot of stress in his life, Izayoi is often plagued by gruesome and unpleasant nightmares that really love to creep into his mind. When he gets a nightmare, it affects him to the point where he has a fear of sleeping. He attempts to remedy this by wrapping a gauze bandage over his head, a way to cope by 'blocking the nightmares out'. Even still, Izayoi only gets about 4 - 6 hours a day, and is usually very tired.

—Weakness Name: Moody
—Description: Izayoi has a history of sudden mood swings, whether they're coming from something that's on his mind that suddenly affects his mood, or a sudden situation that drastically changes his disposition, the young man can change his personality like flipping a coin. It doesn't happen often, but when it happens, the results are usually explosive and severe to his psyche. When he gets set off, this effects his train of thought to the point where his mind becomes a cluttered mess, to the point where he can't focus.

—Weakness Name: Stamina
—Description: Despite being able to run fast, he also has the weakness of being lacking a lot of physical stamina. Constant strenuous activity, like running non-stop for around 6 minutes will tire him out greatly, to the point where his throat feels raw, where his lungs ache, and where his body will almost give out until he regains his energy.

Soul Bound Weapon:
Weapon Name: Hissatsu
Weapon Description: What initially looks like a one-handed sword is anything but. This odd weapon doesn't have a smooth bladed edge, instead, both edges of the entire 'blade' are covered in large, serrated spikes, like a large, double-edged saw. The blade itself isn't that good at slashing. Rather, it's used to stab into something and cause severe damage by using the tip of the blade to plunge through, while the serrated edges cut deep through the target. If the target is human, be prepared for a lot of pain and blood. Essentially, it's a stabbing weapon made for deep, painful wounds. The 'blade' itself is about 18 inches long, with each spike being about an eighth of an inch.

The Background

History: Left with only a mother to take care of him after his father abandoned him and his mother for fear of child support only a few days after his birth, Izayoi grew up rather sheltered by his mother. He wasn't exactly an outcast when he was younger, but he was always a bit more different when it came to interacting with others. While everyone would play together, Izayoi believed that he had an imaginary friend, a guardian angel, that he would talk to and play with. While the other children would play with building blocks, Izayoi played with a couple friends, pretending to fight off forces of evil. It was all innocent, friendly fun.
But then a horrible accident occurred that changed the young boy's outlook forever. While on a school bus as one of his close friends, Shin, got off the bus, one of the kid's belongings fell from his backpack while passing the bus. Suddenly worried that it might get crushed, Shin ran in front of the bus to grab it.

Izayoi attended his funeral days later, and fell to depression. He cursed his 'guardian angel' out of his life, blaming it for not being able to save Shin, but eventually blamed himself that it was all his own fault that he didn't warn the boy not to run in front of the bus. Years later, Izayoi tried to cope with the resulting trauma he had suffered through by wrapping a bandage around his head to escape his frequent nightmares, and attempted to move on with his life, growing a bit distant from his past cheerful personality, instead wanting to stay quiet and observant, wishing to help anyone that he cares about, for his dead friend's sake, as well as the other's sake. Eventually, he found extra coping in music, taking up guitar lessons and buying an acoustic guitar at age 15. At this point, he didn't know if anything could hurt him anymore. Key words being 'didn't' and 'know'.

Everything is good, but I will tell you in advance about one tidbit. Since agility and running speed is not the same, your Agility strength includes two attributes put into one. Make sure you have a weakness that covers two bases. Once more, keep in mind that if someone were to go up against you with the speed in mind, they would win because they used an entire slot for a speed strength whereas you added two boosts under one. As long as you understand that, then make the necessary changes and you will be all set.

Edited to change 'Agility' to running speed instead of what could be two attributes. Also slightly edited the 'Stamina' weakness to tie in a bit more with the edited athletic running speed.
