( RYAN POTTER, 25, CIS MALE, HE/HIM ) * hey, i’m looking for the office of HIDETO MORI. they’re the EMPLOYEE who’s known around the office as THE NETIZEN, if that helps ? not to be a gossip, but i’ve heard that they’re SPONTANEOUS but ENVIOUS, is that true ? i also heard that they’re the one who BROUGHT THEIR FERRET PET TO THE OFFICE MULTIPLE TIMES. anyways, here’s the coffee they ordered.
hello!! this cyllene ( but y’all can call me cy ), i’m twenty-eight & i go by he/him pronouns. hide is a brand new muse that came to my mind when i visited the main for the 9583984th time & i finally decided to join. he’s a very creative, social butterfly that has multiple secrets kept under his sleeve, so i can only hope we’ll get to develop him & get him to where i picture him to be!! it’ll be kind of a rushed intro, but hopefully i’ll write down a more detailed biography when i’m able to.

BACKGROUND
◇ born in los angeles, california to an apparent single mother that desperately wished to get rid of him & possibly give her son a better life by finding his biological father. ◇ why did she want to get rid of her baby boy though? it’s hard enough to be a single mother, but at the time of his birth, she was merely 22 & had a whole life ahead of her. she wouldn’t call him a mistake per se, but more of the outcome of a night of euphoria. it wouldn’t be hard getting rid of someone who she wasn’t that attached to & instead felt forced to love & take care of. ◇ another important factor to mention is that his father happens to be one of the most popular & famous rock singers in japan. that’s how his mother & him met. thanks to his fame, the whole band could visit & host a tour throughout america due to popular demand. while the term groupie still feels wrong to swallow & accept, it is what she represented to his father & who she became after she abandoned him to the care of this messy man. ◇ his mother spent several months tracking him down & after many attempts ( plus money that had to be loaned to her in order for her to be able to travel to tokyo ), hide finally found a place that he could call home. ◇ but his childhood became chaotic due to his father’s hectic schedule. at times he would be around a lot & he would be an incredible father. but some other days he would be gone for months before he’d see him around & he’d have to limit himself to seeing him on tv while he was a guest in variety shows or he was interviewed about their new album. ◇ even if he didn’t have a mother figure ( because his father loved bringing many women back home, but they never stayed long enough to create a bond between them ), the love that came from his father was enough for him to be happy. not to mention his bandmates also loved having him around & would spoil him whenever he’d join them while touring. ◇ when hide turned seventeen the band visited america again & he was taken along with them. what happened then? hide fell in love with the country & the people that lived in it, something that was completely different from what he was used to. there was a little bit more of freedom that he could taste while not having to fulfill the role of a perfect student with a popular singer as father. his last name was enough of a giveaway, but kids can be cruel at times & the expectations of society would pressure him too much, whether it was to follow his steps by joining the entertainment industry or becoming an artist of his own, but he never found passion in what his father found comfort. ◇ instead of staying in tokyo, he asked his father to allow him to go back to his birth country & get to know a place that initially rejected him as his own. & he was smart enough to go to penn u, majoring in computer science. ◇ but it is well said that birds of a feather flock together & it would become hard for him not to get immersed by the world of entertainment in america, which is completely different from the way that it is in japan. that passion for gossip is what led him back to following the steps that had faded away when he was just a baby. upon finishing with college, he learned that his mother worked in one of the most prestigious companies & curiosity got the worst out of him, which took him to apply & eventually join the secret cult, as he would name it. ◇ it isn’t his intention to build a relationship with his mother or even grow close to her, but he would want to get to know the woman that could get rid of her child so easily. it’s something that he has kept to himself & hasn’t shared with his father, not because he would be disappointed, but because he might get worried & possibly could feel sorry or if he wasn’t good enough. his life is busy & hard just as it is anyway.
HEADCANONS
◇ it could be misinterpreted that hide is a shy guy, but once he warms up to others, he is a pretty chill & funny guy that tries to bring a smile to everyone’s faces. while keeping enough distance from others to still give some sort of mystery as to who he is. ◇ while his origin isn’t that much of a secret when one connects the dots, he doesn’t openly speak about who his father is or what he does for a living. it’s easy for people to want to use him or insinuate that he is wealthy ( he is ), which could lead many to yearn for that sort of power or fame that he doesn’t really possess. ◇ the way i pictured his father to be is the eternal bachelor with too much rock in his veins to want to settle. in my mind, he looks like hyde ( ironic bc of hide’s name ), the singer of l’arc~en~ciel & his whole band is based on laruku’s success tbh. not only he is the singer of a popular band with bops like link, blurry eyes & jojoushi; but he’s also ventured with a solo career & delved into the ideal that he is a vampire. something that makes cringe lmaoooo. ◇ growing up in japan was relatively chill & one of the things he loved the most was to find new stories to lose himself into when he was alone. that’s how he grew up reading manga & watching anime, being his most favorites death note, snk & some other hidden gems like candidate for goddess, saber marionette j & yu yu hakusho. his favorite manga artists are by far junji ito & suehiro maruo though. he loves dark shit fr. ◇ he’s not experienced in love, but he would definitely like to fall in love with someone one day. it’s not a priority of his though. he did have a lot of fun when he was in college though. he’s a hot guy, what is he supposed to do? LMAO. ◇ he has a child of his own: a ferret. he brings him to the office often enough & when he cannot find someone to petsit him. if he’s felt something close to love, it would be for him. his name is totoro & looks like this!! it technically is legal for him to have one in nyc, but does he give a fuck? hell nah.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
◇ his mother!! the sole reason why he works here is because he wants to get to know her. he wouldn’t tell her who he is, but... he’d want to get to know that cold hearted person better!! ◇ ugh, not the it guy. maybe your muse has frequent issues with their computer & it’s always him the one who has to come around & remind them that they shouldn’t be clicking every other link or else this will keep happening. hate him. it’s highly encouraged!! ◇ any & all types of bad influences. even though it seems like he’s a very decent, shy & polite guy, he’s got some stuff to hide too, so to have someone making it worse would be appreciated. ◇ ferret buds. sometimes he has to be going up & down the offices, making sure the whole system of masters is up & running to perfection, so he might need someone to look after his son while he’s away. ◇ coffee buds. pretty self explanatory!! just sharing a coffee or two, have a nice chat & then go back to normal life. ◇ bad influence pt2. maybe someone who allows him to indulge in vices such as alcohol, drugs & probably sex. ◇ fwb. again, he may be polite, but he loves to hoe around. he’s a free man living in a free country!! ◇ best friend. someone he met & clicked with immediately. perhaps either or both have a tiny crush on one another, but would never ruin a good friendship with something as stupid as love!! ◇ i’m the biggest fan of your father. yes, it may happen. someone may know who he is & it would definitely be because they’re a fan of his father. not the best way to approach him. ◇ experimental bud. again, he’s never been with a man before, so why wouldn’t he try now before it’s too late & he’s a taken man? he can only dream for that to happen... ◇ etc. you got a plot you wanna share with me? i’m all ears!!
