Kamenashi Ryonosuke ~ Rio ~ he/they ~ 21
Rio has always been trouble for his family, despite earning top marks in school and landing scholarships to study biochemistry at universities in both Tokyo and California. It was his manner of dress, his mannerisms, his interests that stuck in the craw of his extremely conservative, traditional parents who expected him to complete schooling, land a career, and come back home to support them in the twilight of their lives. Rio just wanted to be himself, to dress in the way that made him feel free and comfortable in his skin, and most importantly, he wanted someone to love him for everything he was and not for something he could never be.
Unfortunately, the stress got to be too much for him once he was settled in his tiny apartment outside Berkeley, CA, and after missing too many classes due to simply being too anxious and depressed to get out of bed he lost his scholarship. He has since done whatever it took to make sure the rent was paid, the lights stayed on and he had something to eat... but that’s put him on the radar of some of the less savory elements of suburban California.
(I got bored tonight and decided to give another of my longtime roleplay characters a face in TS4. He was made for a monster boy RP and in that verse he is a shifter/were whose alter form is an akita.)
