August has the gaudiest fashion sense out of Gekka. If he's not wearing his usual work outfit or a disguise, he'll be wearing clothes that are so mismatched. He also has a collection of patterned shirts that makes him look like a dad. Chikage and Hisoka got him a "government agents want me, fish fear me" shirt as a joke, and August began wearing it around the hideout unironically (July raised an eyebrow at his shirt but didn't say anything else).
He hates being called dad by Chikage and Hisoka since they barely have a 5 year gap (or even less, who knows). But when they were younger and the two were attached to his hip, they'd call him big brother. In the present time, they only call him dad to annoy him.
If he wasn't in the organization, he'd probably be a pharmacist or a teacher! In an AU where he survives, I love to think that he works together with Sakuya at Veludo Daycare! Other than framing himself as an innocent person, I also like to think that he's friends with Sakuya because he can get info about Chikage and Hisoka from him (and Sakuya reminds him of the two when they were younger).
Insomaniac. He's as worse as Chikage sometimes, but he actually remembers that being a secret agent doesn't grant you immunity from basic human needs. August takes care of himself for Chikage and Hisoka. He's also wrestled Chikage into bed more than Hisoka can count.
His inability to cook is affected by his expertise in chemistry. He forgets that chemistry =/= cooking so it isn't uncommon to hear him muttering formulas while cooking. He tried making (read: experimenting) marshmallows and Hisoka wouldn't even dare touch them.
August adores music, but he can't sing at all. Yes, he can imitate a voice, but singing is out of his range.
His favorite genre of books are fantasy and fairytales. Though he knows its impossible to get out of the Organization safely, he has wishful thinking and loves imagining him and his family as normal people. He also loves reading myths and other things that Chikage and July may deem useless for an agent. He also believes in reincarnation.
Despite his awful sense of fashion, he does know how to put together a good disguise, complete with accessories and a story, and regardless of gender.
He used to have long hair that he usually ties back, but after a mission, he began getting regular haircuts (courtesy of Chikage).
August is the only one who knows July's true name.
He thinks of himself as a monster and an awful person sometimes, and it's up to Chikage and Hisoka to remind him that he's not. They're also aware that he has nightmares (August refuses to let them know) and they'll try to do what they can to cheer up August if he's feeling down.
When August caught wind of July's plan, he began compiling all their pictures together (since he had no plan of letting Chikage and Hisoka know about it). Chikage finds the album later.
