His eyes are normally hidden by his glasses, but he has bags under them not just from staying up too late, but also because he occasionally has nightmares about his past that require his wife to soothe (as those tend to make him wake up screaming). He has a surprising amount of muscles too, despite his short size, and though you wouldn't know it normally, he is a very precise sharpshooter and on part with a black belt in Aikido. His hands also have calluses from writing in pencil, and they are soft with a rather delicate touch to them. His eyes are a dark gold.

Personality: Junction Takeru is, at a glance, the type of person with a soft aura of calmness and compassion around him, the kind of look a doting grandparent might have for their grandchildren. He's quite soft-spoken, almost never raising his voice in anger (or getting angry in general), and far kinder and nicer than most other versions of Takeru. He tends to often be lost in thought while doing things, for one reason or the other, be it reminiscing on days long gone or some new idea, time has made Takeru a very different person. He also almost never picks fights anymore, and he has sworn himself to never take up arms again unless necessary.

He also doesn't like showing off at all anymore, being quite humble…. Usually.
When it comes to his writing, so long as it's not the work he considers an old shame, he's extremely proud of it, and he's also incredibly proud of his family.

He speaks in a easy going, friendly, and polite manner that's fairly eloquent. That's not to say he doesn't occasionally indulge in a little jaded cynicism once in awhile. He's the type of person to let sleeping dogs lie, whereas Shinji for example would wake them up for the hell of it. However, his tone hides a sort of melancholy to it, especially when he's reminiscing. He tends to talk to himself out loud softly as well.

However, due to his past, Junction Takeru has deep mental scars that he needs to go through therapy for, even having the occasional relapse of depression that Melodia supports him through. He also has a lot of regrets, which he cannot seem to let go of easily. He also suffers from occasional emotional breakdowns and mercurial moods swings ranging from ecstasy to despair in an instant depending on what's happening, and has a tendency to overreact and over think as a result. Things that will immediately trigger his PTSD is unnecessary conflict particularly, threatening to harm the ones he loves, rejection, and being forced to recall his past.

Because of his dark past (Which he considers shameful) he doesn't talk about it much, and if pushed, he will break down. Because he considers it a sensitive subject, much of it is kept from Shinjiro due to how blunt Shinji is, mainly so that he doesn't have a breakdown because of him. Shinji for his part has a feeling that something is being kept from him, but when he presses for more, he doesn't get an answer, something that played a key part in Shinji’s resentment for Takeru. A lot of Shinji’s perceptions of Takeru aren't entirely wrong, but the reasons for them go deeper than he thinks.

As a writer, he enjoys writing sci-fi and fantasy, although his greatest work is a Young Adult Romance Novel that he considers an old shame, mainly because he wrote that when he was younger and still getting used to Junction. Although he'd do better as a pianist, Takeru prefers writing instead because the piano holds both a lot of painful memories and happy memories too for him. He also doesn't play as often because of this, but when he does, it's quite the sight to behold.

He loves fruits, his family, writing, books, being trusted and loved, children, playing piano, music, and video games. He dislikes vegetables, war, abuse, rejection and hate, and horror movies.

In his spare time, Takeru enjoys taking trips to the library, meditation, and spending time with his wife and family. He wishes Shinji would appreciate his writing a bit more, and would love to work with Shinji on a novel someday.
