Role play survey thing to get my brain moving.

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? He's actually kind of average built, a little toned I would guess? His height however is a little shorter than average considering how tall one of his younger sisters are.

2. How old is he? 17

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
He slouches a little sometimes but otherwise, he has more of a tendency to walk upright and normally like any other human being!

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He is in good health as far as I'm concerned. I would think he's fit? No illnesses as he checks out because he has an ability to heal himself physically after taking any physical damage.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? I would think he walks normally like any guy would.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? He's actually more of an average guy, maybe not very? He perceives in the mirror as himself but nothing more. He doesn't think he's the prettiest man alive, but he definitely can say he's not the ugliest either.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
His complexion is a little yellowish but on an average scale. He's only mostly human after all. Just with a little vampire immortality.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. His hair is darkish brown to black depending on how it's reflected. I would say it's a little on the messy side. It's texture? Fringes, and it goes down to just above his shoulders. Oh right, and he also has a cowlick aka an ahoge that sticks out. It tends to reflect his feelings when he makes his expressions as well.

9. What color are his eyes? Ordinarily gray! They do turn red however when he does use whatever was left of his vampire powers.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? Not that I can think of, no!

11. What are his chief tension centers? .... No idea, so moving on to next question.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Ararargi's wardrobe tend to be one of the more casual side, as he doesn't wear anything fancy or formal normally. His clothes are mostly of short sleeved parkas/hoodies, though on occasion he's also worn long sleeved ones. Most of them are pastel colored, gray or any light neutral shades.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
The clothes fit him rather comfortably and he doesn't seem to feel any discomfort when wearing them.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
There's not really much of a difference on what he wears to school as opposed to when he's out or at home. So he's dressed mostly the same?

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
He was actually asked this by Senjougahara once. He declined to answer as she switched topics rather quickly. My headcanon would have to say he's more of a boxers fan haha.

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Average..? It's not entirely bass but it's not high pitched. It's fluid but has a slight rasp to it.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He speaks in a normal tone, on a normal level. He can talk on an even pace with some of the talkative castmates of his. No stutters or mumbling though. He's not a guy to usually hesitate when speaking. But he does question things.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? No, but his name can quite the tongue twister. :<

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
He can speak standard japanese, and knows a little english from attending his high school. He knows the puns and wordplay of some forms of kanji/japanese but otherwise he doesn't any other dialects/languages.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope!

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He can be an impromptu speaker to some of those whom he's related to, like his sisters. But for anyone outside the family, he's usually the type to think on his words before saying them.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
I'd have to say he is eloquent in his speaking despite his modesty sometimes. There are times in which he does mess up but under normal circumstances, he doesn't lose the flow of his words.


Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
I would say his intelligence level is a little less than average, especially after his initial score on his school exams(46 lol...). He does have his otaku smarts however and knows enough common sense to not do stupid things.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
He thinks on his feet. I've never really seen him using time to plan things out unless it's one of those cases in which takes some time/patience to do.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
He's more logical, as he does have a tendency to think on things and is more of a common sense straight dude. While I can say that he has a part of himself being practical, I see him more of being idealistic, because of his kindmess to people. When Hitagi-chan told him he couldn't do anything and stapled his mouth, Koyomi went through the boundaries, and proved to her that he could help her.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
From Grade School to high school I would guess, orz.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
His areas of expertise are most likely anime/geekery things if those count? He doesn't declare himself much of a supernatural expert since he always had to ask someone else for them (i.e. Oshino, Shinobu), but he's been known to want to find a loop hole around the supernatural and solve it on his own terms?

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
For sure an Intorvert. While he lately is able to make more friends now, he's still on the more conservative side for the most part.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
He's definitely very even tempered. I don't think there were any moments where he was mood swinging. He's not exactly a cheerful person, but he's not exactly a melancholic person? More like realistic and very specific on what he thinks. I do have to say he's driven when he needs to be, especially when he wants to save people.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
