CHARACTER

NAME: Shinsha Akashi.
PRONOUNS: Any pronouns. Shinsha is agender and doesn't care. Japanese lets you get pretty far without specifying gendered pronouns so I'm using they/them in my narration to reflect that, but your character is free to assume any pronouns. Shinsha wears a girl's school uniform, speaks in masculine-coded Japanese, and has an androgynous voice, so it's anyone's guess.
AGE: 17 (senior year of high school).
CANON: Houseki no Kuni / Land of the Lustrous.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: At school, Shinsha is sullen, withdrawn, and studious. While they can initially come off as cold and unfriendly, anyone patient enough to get past their defenses will discover that Shinsha is surprisingly thoughtful and empathetic - they've just grown accustomed to suppressing their emotions so they won't burden anyone.
Dreamer Cinnabar is a highly experienced Sentry with the ability to manipulate liquid mercury... which is extremely toxic to all living things, including other Dreamers and even the Dream Sphere itself. Even though Cinnabar is a tank in combat, they're ashamed of their powers. At the same time, they have a strong sense of duty and a desperate desire to feel useful, so they've decided to use their cursed power to protect other Dreamers. Cinnabar is so afraid of accidentally hurting others that they've been fighting solo for years.
WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW: Dreamer Cinnabar is a mysterious figure who wanders the edges of the Dream Sphere, taking on Torments alone.
ORIENTATION: Asexual.

DREAMER

NAME: Dreamer Cinnabar.
LEVEL: Experienced (Sentry).
POWERS: I've got a separate page to keep track of that.
COSTUMES: There's a page for that too! Their Dreamer look consists of bright red hair, a black outfit that sorta resembles a uniform or suit, and short shorts.

WARNINGS & OPT OUT

POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Shinsha is chronically depressed, has social anxiety, and has been bullied/excluded at school.

PERMISSIONS

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Shinsha hates being touched, and in the Dream Sphere, they're surrounded by highly toxic mercury, so it's probably not a good idea...
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: They're very weak physically, so no.
FLIRTING: You're welcome to try, but expect Shinsha to react with varying degrees of obliviousness, disgust, embarrassment, and annoyance. But hey, that's how Shinsha reacts to most things!
RELATIONSHIPS: They're not totally averse to romance, but they are pretty averse to touching people, so... slow burn hand holding? Hot stuff!
SEX: Haha, not a chance.
MIND READING: Sure, but let me know ahead of time.
