❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?
tatsu loves to listen to people just as much as he likes to talk — they think it's amazing when people have interests that they're passionate about, loves the way it broadens his worldview! they are infinitely more likely to pay attention to someone that genuinely has an interest in the topic of discussion — finding the subtle cues in someone's face that indicates passion and interest are just as delightful.
tatsu loves to make people laugh! they have a sense of humor that just flows very naturally, even if it's not always at the most appropriate moment / even if it toes the line of dark humor. i don't think they necessarily fall into gallows humor too much, but humor is definitely a coping mechanism — for instance, if he's joking about how old his mom is, it's because deeper down, they're really anxious about it.
tatsu is very loyal and generally very easygoing about most things! they're pretty ride-or-die for their friends and will always be down for a spontaneous trip or adventure. wanna go for a walk at midnight? he's down! wanna cut class and sneak off to the arcade? they're in.
💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?
on the other side of the "funny" trait coin — tatsuki is deeply unserious (up until they get really mad, anyway). they're kind of a troll! it's just all in good fun for tatsu, though it does become a useful skill in masking when they're feeling only marginally confrontational or mildly annoyed — but i would not blame other muses for feeling annoyed by it! they also run the risk of coming off as insincere sometimes.
they can take some extreme risks sometimes, especially where a common theme of their abilities depending on the universe is more or less that of a "shield." it's an interesting contrast of internally actually being quite afraid of getting hurt — but he does use fear as an adrenaline shot and will always put himself on the line to protect the people he cares about. this does also mean he's a little too unafraid of starting a fight for someone's honor — but that's also the extent of their loyalty like i kind of mentioned above!
they're pretty easy to distract — particularly when they're stuck in a frankly dry lecture. it's part of the reason why tatsu does not do well in school — he's just not compatible with teaching styles that just chug through content and have no real passion. they really do learn the most through tangible experiences and passionate infodumping. don't ask tatsu for their school notes by the way — you're going to find grocery lists, elden ring boss notes, relevant but frankly unhelpful class notes ["teacher is depressed :(" "this book sucks :(" "i want a calculator :(" "don't drink liquid mercury"], crude doodles, and "tatsu [last name of crush]" in the margins. tatsu has also definitely cut class more than once before. tatsu has kind of resigned himself to knowing that they have very little prospects to go to a good college or to get a really good job; this tends to be a contributing factor that leads tatsu to get involved in different verses — to go to blue lock, to become a sorcerer, to become a bard, etc. etc.
💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?
tatsu's relationship with their adoptive mother is really central to their being. they attribute their sense of self (pride in the good, acceptance of the bad, full ownership of being "weird"), their big heart, their sense of humor, the fact that they never really felt like an unwanted child in spite of everything all to her. as much as she doesn't want tatsu to feel obliged to "repay" her, tatsu is generally incredibly motivated to provide for her so that she can leave easily for the rest of her life.
and then shout out to his cat, frank! kind of considered their only friend in middle school. in spite of everything they grew up without very many friends and was widely regarded as the weird kid — his mom and dad (alive at the time) were the same age as everyone's grandparents, he got in trouble with his teachers a lot for struggling to pay attention, he was too talkative, and especially by middle school, especially after his father passed, their home circumstances were generally well-known (particularly that miyu was not his bio mom, that his father was a cheater — it was obvious, because neither of his parents had been blond). tatsu and his mom adopted frank shortly after the passing of his father; frank is very affectionate and talkative, and will let tatsu put outfits on him whenever they please. he's a good kitty! <3
