Aiko

Ari is a punk-ish dude who seems pretty emotionless or angry before you get to know him but once you do he's a protective, kindhearted and playful person. He loves teasing, playing little pranks and scaring his friends but if anyone else tried to do something to his friends he's absolutely livid and all hell breaks loose.

He can be kinda lazy unless he really wants to do something and he's always sleepy.He loves trying different beverages so he's always super hydrated. He's an excelent swimmer. Despite his appearences he is very easily flustered and never hets dirty jokes or inuandos at first but he will blush furiously when he gets it. Flirting with him leaves him a frazzled, flustered, flushed mess - completely ruining any 'coolness' he was maintaining.

He grew up as a bit of an outcast from other kids in and out of school because he was always more quiet and subdued. He secretly wanted to join in with them but he felt like the divide between him and the other kids was tooand he was too scared of rejection. In middle school he was made fun of for looking quite girly die to his delicate frame and pre-puberty soft features. He found it really hard to deal with the bullying and because of it no-one wanted to befriend him, this is where he solidified most of his anti-social behavior and gave up trying to dress nicely. Puberty hit him like a train at the end of middle school and by the time he entered high school he looked almost completey different to his old self. What was once rejection from his peers turned to silent reverence - only Ari didnt realise this and thought people still hated him. Because of this he remained an outcast at school, although he did make some friendly aquaintences. Ari is studying his last year of teaching and it's at university that he actually started making friends, his social skills are a little under-developed so it's beeen taking him some time but he's been gradually opening up to his new friends. Because he had so few friends at school he is very payful with those he trusts. He works part-time as a barista in his local cafe.

Appearence

Ari has sharp and striking facial features and is quite good looking, he did some modeling when he was 19 but found it to controlling and tiring. He wears punk/emo ish clothes in blacks + greys because he can't be bothered to co-ordinate coloured outfits. He also has a bunch of pearcings. (

His fur is double layered so he doesnt get cold/wet when swimming and his tail is powerful both in and out of water.
