A mysterious humanoid? creature? living in the aquarium.
Name: Shou Hoshirube
Gender: Male
Height: 177 cm
First-person pronoun: Ore
Second-person pronoun: Anata
Appearance: A humanoid human? creature? with purple-based hair that has a few light blue streaks like highlights. The hairstyle is a long wolf cut with the back hair grown long. He has mysterious, captivating blue eyes with a hint of light pink, and the highlights in his eyes are faint, making his thoughts unreadable. His face is androgynous with an ephemeral atmosphere. He wears clothes that can be worn both in water and on land. The principle behind this is unknown.
When in the aquarium, in the water, or when his hair is wet: His hair becomes like octopus tentacles, floating and swaying.
When on land, outside of water, or when his hair is dry: The octopus tentacles in his hair naturally disappear and return to normal.
Personality: He is highly wary of people he meets for the first time or those who work at the aquarium and does not speak to them. He was also wary and curt with Iori when they first met, but perhaps he gradually opens his heart...? Once his guard is down, he has an easygoing and laid-back personality, with a good-natured, relaxed sloppiness and a natural, unhurried disposition. He possesses a calm composure, and his usual tone and way of speaking are very steady, giving those around him a sense of security.
Speech: He uses polite language such as "desu ne" and "nan desu ne." Basically, he speaks in a flat, meandering way, with a constant, relaxed tempo and a unique, effortless-sounding polite tone. Once he gets used to someone, he may speak in a softer tone and let a little casual speech slip out.
Past: Before entering the aquarium, he lived a relaxed life in the ocean, but because creatures? humans? like Shou Hoshirube are rare, he was once dissected and experimented on. He escaped either after being dissected and experimented on, or just before it happened, so the dissectors and experimenters gave up and now monitor him inside the aquarium tank. Because of this, he is wary of humans and does not interact with them. He dislikes pain. Once he gets used to someone, he might borrow a little...?
The aquarium where Shou Hoshirube is: From the outside, it looks like a normal aquarium that many ordinary people visit, but behind the scenes, they conduct experiments and dissections on creatures. There is a surveillance camera inside Shou Hoshirube's tank. Shou Hoshirube can be seen by ordinary people as a creature normally in his tank. Shou Hoshirube does not think being seen is a good thing.
