Name: Aruko Shinshido
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: June 6
Sexuality: Bi
Special Characteristics: Aruko has a black tattoo running over his eyes down the sides of his face, but this only appears when using a strenuous or signature magic.
Personality: On the surface, Arukoru seems to be a shallow and self-absorbed man, infamous among many of his colleagues for the selfish and narcissistic aura he gives off at times. He is wont to act in an ostentatious manner and appears to act mostly out of self-interest rather than any sort of charity, and he comes off to most as a sort of cocky, lazy asshole, shirking most of his duties and delegating his desk job or other boring tasks to lower ranking magic users while sitting idly with them, sporting an amused smile on his face as he procrastinates, but he's very quick to take action when it appears that there is glory and notoriety to be gained for himself or his team. Arukoru is expertly manipulative and prone to think several steps ahead of those around him, giving him a remarkable talent for making others act exactly as he wishes despite appearing not to have had a hand in their decisions.
Arukoru also has the reputation of being an incorrigible womanizer, and it's said he spends much of his time cavorting about town with various women, wooing them with his abundant charm, good looks and charisma. This adds another facet to his unpopularity among the magic using men, many of whom have had their sweethearts and crushes bromance away from them by his hand. Although he doesn't act like this most of the time, it's still very obvious for anyone who knows about him that he always has a girl in his sights, or a guy. No hate, Fiore.
However, while these traits do have a bit of a place in his real personality, much of his outward persona can perhaps be considered an intentional facade, which is perfectly designed to cause those unfamiliar with him to underestimate his remarkable intelligence in and out of battle, and ability to act, and it normally works. Arukoru is an exceptional tactician, well-versed in various strains of combat theory and particularly talented in the realms of surreptitious information-gathering, covert operations and enemy ensnarement.
At the core, he is a remarkably devoted magician whose primary focus and personal duty is to his friends and teammates, no matter how hard or strenuous. Though he hides it well behind a veil of cynicism and self-importance, Arukoru is a man who cares deeply about the people who trust and support him and goes to great lengths to ensure their safety and well-being, even at the risk of his own. As a man with considerable power, the magician considers himself a protector to those without and acts accordingly, earning the staunch loyalty of his most trusted companions. Although he can be known as awesome or an asshole, it's still true to be said that he has a very addictive personality, being able to get caught on one thing and be unable to let go, no matter what's said to him, which can sometimes be dangerous in most situations. Long story short, raging alchoholic, bad ass asshole, and pretty fuckin' smart.
