base character info
Jan. 2nd, 2018 11:38 pmName: Juri
Age: 22
Height: 158 cm/5'2"
Species: Half-breed human/cat person
Birthday: 13th December (or, middle of the last month of the year/one of the winter months)
Personality: Artless, curious and friendly, Juri is cheerful and social, but far less extroverted than he appears to be. He prefers smaller company if he gets to choose, but on the other hand he's not shy, either, and likes attention or simply being in a crowd without being expected to participate. Independent, he tends to not listen to most people when it comes to advice or 'don'ts'... but he's also not very good at being graceful if someone did tell him he shouldn't do something and why and they turn out to be right. It's not so much that he thinks he's necessarily right and can't be wrong, as more of a bit of a contrary streak along with that independence that makes him want to do it himself, even if he shouldn't. Aside from that he's adaptable to many circumstances, both preferring and finding it rather easy to at least try to roll with the punches. Is also agreeable and consciously tries to not be judgemental, wanting to see the best in others. He's not really naive, but his choices and actions might sometimes appear to be.
Has no poker face to talk about, and isn't shy about showing his emotions - or being attentive about others' emotions, too, as he's rather empathetic and compassionate and likes being able to help even if it won't necessarily change what someone's feeling. Despite this and being generally a forward sort of person, he's surprisingly pretty easily embarrassed. It doesn't stop him by any means, if he wants something, but he can be pretty shy when it comes to intimacy, at least to start with. He usually warms up and relaxes soon enough, and his curiosity means he's open about learning new things. (Just slow to start, you could say.) Tends to default to at least an attempt at jokes when he's nervous or afraid, though admittedly he tends to cheerful teasing otherwise too.
Has some insecurities about his looks - he knows he's not what he 'should' be on either end of his heritage, and knows it's visible even if clothes hides some of it, but he's very stubborn about keeping this quiet and tends to get sullen and defensive if it's brought up. He's not really been bullied about it while growing up, but there's been comments and he knows what he's lacking (or what's just different from what it "should be"). He's working on it (or not, as the case may be).
Talents: Is very flexible, and ambidextrous. Quicker reflexes than a regular human, but his strength is average. Both likes and is good at dancing of various sorts, and while he can play flute, he's not very good at singing. At all.Caterwauling anyone?
(The flute is some sort of transverse flute, most usually a western concert flute for more contemporary takes, or one of its forebears, a traverso, or a bansuri, for historical/fantasy. Probably some suitably futuristic version of a keyed transverse flute for sci-fi.)
Powers: In case of settings using magic and particularly as channeled through music (like a Bard and similar), he's either of average strength or more powerful than he's aware of, as his informal and partially self-taught skills in both music and magic in this case wouldn't lend itself to easily tapping the depths of his magical power.
