There shouldn't be a problem in scrapping off what this life owes us.


Summary

Mamoru feels very alone in this world, having lost the support of his step-sister after he decided to fake her identity online for attention because he was going through a bad breakup and didn't know how to deal with it. It's been 6 years after that and he's a pretty average college student in his daily life, and a secret instagram famous girl named NaNsan when he's not in class. He believed this could be kept as a secret perfectly forever until he connected to his cluster, and his life is about to change.


Appearance

Mamoru has fair skin, black eyes and black straight hair. He has average east asian features, and in general his appearance doesn't stand out in his society, save for his 1/4 Dutch heritage that can be seen mostly on the shape of his jaw and nose. He's on the thin side but absolutely not in shape- he keeps his weight mostly on self-neglect. His hair is growing out from being very short- it's chin-length at the moment, almost long enough to tie back (but not quite), and his fringe is getting pretty long too, it gets on his face (but he doesn't mind). He keeps his nails short and has recently been painting them a light color.

He wears a white face mask in public, generally with a hoodie or jacket, a shirt underneath and jeans. He tends to wear purple, blue and black&white clothing.

That said, he has a lot of talent in fashion- He even makes his own clothes! Except he doesn't dare go out with them on- That's a NaNsan thing to do.


Personality

With a quiet, appropriate and rather mellow exterior, Mamoru is an emotionally intense attention seeking person who has sharpened his manipulation skills in order to hoard the biggest possible quantity of attention possible. He finds meaning in this, hating himself in every other aspect. He doesn't even like himself when he's the center of attention or receives little droplets of it, but rather feels worthy of existing when he reaches his nearly impossible standard. Very depressed and self-loathing, harshly punishes himself constantly over nothing. Likes to talk about anything he can think of that involves him in some way, even the way he hates himself, despite how open that would be.

Regardless of his emotions, he's really good at covering them. A very good actor. DRAMATIC. Doesn't want others to know how bad he's doing but he WILL drop everything if he senses that the other person will give what he wants the most, no only attention but LOVE. Wants to desperately to be loved, he knows it's sad. Very cryptic and vague, likes to intrigue others, holds some information from them. Easily sees the world in love-colored glasses, and his words become almost romantic. Very flirty if well received, seductive even- at that point he doesn't even mean to be but he definitely takes the opportunity.

Very smart, resourceful and talented! Good at quick thinking, and very fast learner- capable of picking skills up very quickly. With a good sense of style and aesthetic. Very perceptive, and while not totally empathetic, very tactful. Despite being an attention hoarder isn't a complete douchebag and in general has Manners at least currently.


Story

His parents divorced little after he was born, his father remarried soon enough and Mamoru stayed with his mother. He met his new step sister Haneul, and later their half sister Naomi was born. They all got along pretty well as kids, though Mamoru didn't see them enough. His mother's house felt extremely lonely, she worked a lot and neglected Mamoru.

He lived a pretty miserable childhood without knowing why, later on blamed both his parents- his father for 'leaving' him and his mother for being so distant.

In high school, he started dating a girl named Chiaki. They were both very immature and did a lot of things they regret. Their relationship was very toxic from both ways and an attention-hungry Mamoru kept testing it when he wanted to maintain the idea of a relationship with other girls. Seeing as this was working for him, he didn't think to stop- until Chiaki realized, and turned it back on him. She started ignoring him, doing everything to make him miserable.

It wasn't long until Mamoru broke under Chiaki's attitude and it left a pretty huge scar, even after their breakup. Up until this point Haneul was nothing but supportive of him, no matter how much he hoarded the conversation, everytime they saw each other they would talk a lot and Haneul would try to advice him. He could count on her.

But he also knew how lucky she was. A girl like her could get all the attention she wanted, and that's the only thing Mamoru could think about. He broke her trust by faking her identity online, doing things Haneul wouldn't, and staining her reputation. It cost Haneul an audition to an idol company and she, rightfully enough, was so upset she doesn't talk to him anymore. After this, family reunions are horribly awkward, Haneul has tried to manipulate Naomi to not talk to him, his father invites him less to his house, and it's only because his father loves him that he didn't get into a legal problem.

After that, he still saw some power, some control in being creepy towards Haneul. She had just changed her hairstyle drastically, Naomi got a small style change and Mamoru decided he would too, so they would match. This wasn't received positively, of course, but he kept at it for a couple years.

He dropped this cringe shit halfway into college, living alone, didn't know what to do with his feelings until he figured... You can be whoever you want in the internet, so might as well continue this farse. He secretly created a fake identity, a fake person; NaNsan, discovered a talent in sewing and designing clothes, and makeup, and acting, and actually became pretty famous within Instagram!

This quenches his thirst for attention, and he's even lost focus on his career because of it.

He's recently come in psychic and emotional connection with 8 other people around the world, his cluster.


Cluster

As a homo sensorium or sensate, he's connected to 8 other people around the world- these people have been born at the exact same time as him, but haven't been awaken until recently. They have a psychic and emotional connection, being able to communicate with one another as if they were together physically despite actually being far apart. They can also take control of each other's bodies if necessary, sharing skills and knowledge.

He was a premature baby, so it's extra rare that he made it into the cluster. Nonetheless, he instantly bonded with one of its members and believes it's love and it'll fix him. After all, what's more romantic than bonding with someone who's been born at the exact same time as you, lived as long as you, is as miserable as you? Surely, it's destiny (says overlooking the other 7 people)

Just like most things, Mamoru has kept this as a secret. Partly because it's crazy but also because he wants it to be special.


Abilities

He's learned how to hack, even though it's not as easy as they make it to be in movies or anything, he can get into loosely guarded software. He's a good actor and excellent performer, being able to improvise and use his knowledge for his own 


Likes

  • ATTENTION goddamn
  • OBVIOUSLY dressing up as a girl. Taking the role of a girl. He really likes it but it's a secret so far
  • Crepes
  • Being dramatiqué like draping himself across a sofa with a wine glass in hand, expecting someone to come in and listen to him
  • Being Loved
  • all the cyber shit, Hacking, software engineering
  • Designing clothes, and doing makeup!
  • Sarcastic, cynical humor. also self hating humor

Dislikes

  • Physical exercise
  • Sunlight
  • Being ignored
  • NOT being the center of attention while the person who IS the center of attention is what HE considers as ugly (jerk)
  • People who compete for attention like him
  • Honestly... Himself
  • His mother. She's not a good mother

Extra

  • Is VERY closeted. Has had a boyfriend or two after Chiaki, especially during college, but kept it a secret.
  • HIS GENDER oh man. He does NOT want to deal with that now or ever, but it may have to do with how much he likes dressing up as a girl. that in on itself shouldn't necessarily mean anything but it MEANS something to him no matter how much he rejects it
  • Doesn't feel like he deserves Haneul's forgiveness, so he doesn't even try. He still envies her a bit, since she's a known fashion model nowadays.
  • Is BARELY over Chiaki now. It's been a while since thinking about a girl didn't make her face pop up in his mind. Nowadays the concept of a 'girl' pops up in his mind as NaNsan.
  • Desperately wants both his parents' approval about anything while simultaneously resenting them for how 'wrong' he feels he came out
  • His grandfather from his father's side is dutch, and Mamoru knows just the most basic words of the language. Other than that, he's decent at technical English. However after connecting to his cluster it means he can also speak the same languages as the rest.
  • His main self-punishments for not achieving enough daily attention as NaNsan are skipping meals :(
  • The hair texture of the back of his neck is a bit drier than the rest of his head, this is because he bleached it to white once and it did a lot of damage.
  • While his cluster in this AU is a Cancer as everyone shares a birthday, Mamoru was originally a Gemini
  • Look at this big ass bio. he used to be a 2-dimensional villain for Haneul, and now he's THIS
  • Is leaving his hair grow because 'he doesn't have time to cut it'. bitch, you like it. you look good in it
  • Jokingly says that he should be a stripper in his next life
