Akio

an average friendly barista. everyone who visits his cafe raves about his coffee.
he's the type of guy who gets along with just about anyone. it feels like you can tell him your deepest darkest secrets within minutes of meeting him. of course, theres a reason behind that-- he's an alien who senses your emotions and almost reads your mind to a degree, and then adapts to what would please you... but, even with that, he's just a pleasant person to be around. his favourite trick is reading what coffee you're in the mood for and making it without you even telling him what you want.

he enjoys taking care of plants and his apartment is full of them. he also enjoys communicating with animals on the street, so if he stops to quietly stare at a cat who is meowing at him incessantly, please don't stare.

his "real" form is that of an almost liquid-like being that molds itself into whatever shape it needs to, then camouflages as the creature it imitates to a scary degree. to this day, nobody has figured out his secret, and he prefers to keep it that way. he admires humans, and doesn't want to be seen as lesser or strange to them.
