Special Characteristics: black charcoal hair shaved at one side and red eyes with black corneas and a but load of tattoos that span the length of his arms.


Personality: Itami is a fairly placid person, never one to antagonise or start a fight for no reason, when he has a reason to fight there is always a guarantee of someone's blood spilled (most of the time his own). he seldom makes friends this is in part his own choice and also with a contribution of trust issues, if he were to meet someone his mind is on the 'back foot' so to speak in that he is wary of everyone, his defining trait is his obsession with sake, this isn't to say that Itami has a drinking problem *cough* *cough* he just likes to carry a hip flask around for stressful situations. when in the heat of battle Itami will work his mind into a euphoric rage and will attack without mercy and indiscriminately this is the main reason he doesn't have friends (because he could kill them accidentally), the reason for his euphoric rage is partly to do with his family background which is steeped in psychology and the human anatomy, he detests these ties but uses them to his advantage nonetheless, he uses his knowledge of the mind to brainwash himself so to speak and can switch it on and off with a self-imposed trigger word that is only spoken in a battle situation.
In an actual battle situation Itami (in his battle euphoria) does not listen to the commands of other people that he perceives as a threat and because he has worked himself into a euphoric state it is nigh impossible for Itami to not perceive anyone in his immediate vicinity as a threat and so will attack without mercy. there is however 2 methods to bring Itami under control and that is by either having a telepath of c rank or higher pierce his mind and attempt to override the suppressed part of his conscious or have a B ranked mage impose (psychologically) their own trigger word to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and bring Itami under their control and ready to receive orders if needed. This leads Itami to avoid working in groups in a battle situation as he has an innate fear of people getting inside his head due to traumatic experiences via his mother, there has yet to be a mage (That Itami has met) that can impose a counter-trigger word so as it stands at the moment Itami does not work well under a commander that isn’t a telepath of C-rank or a mage of B-rank and above with at least a basic idea of psychology or how the mind works. These ideas came about after a single situation where Itami worked with 3 mages of varying ranks in an attempt to override his self-imposed euphoric rage, this resulted in three slaughtered corpses that are now buried outside Itami’s house for later use. He is rather secluded and will not leave the forest from which he lives unless it is for supplies or solo mission requested by people who talk to the corpse at the head of the forest which then relays the message to Itami.


Likes:
1. Itami enjoys sake quite a bit more than he should, this addiction (sort of) came about by watching his father drink excessively when he came home from work as a child.
2. Itami is quite fond of musical theatre as it allows him to relax and let go while he immerses himself in the music and story.
3. you will often see Itami eating tomatoes this is because they are his favourite fruit (tomatoes are a fruit) they give him a nostalgic feeling of helping his grandmother pick them from the garden when he was little.

Dislikes:
1. Itami has a hatred for his family (except his grandmother) that dates back to when he was 11 and he saw his father in the basement cutting up a child much to the chagrin of his mother who helped her husband.
2. Itami hates human interaction this is partly his own choice and the rest is his psychological background, he tends to analyse them without thinking and this puts him in a foul mood.
3. Itami doesn't like cake the reason being is he associates cake with birthdays and on his 9th birthday his mother classically conditioned him to vomit at the site of cake this has always stayed with him so when he sees cake he subconsciously gets a bad taste in his mouth
Motivations: (What motivates your character in life?) 3 minimum, bullet point them individually, with at least one sentence to describe them.

Fears:
1. Itami fears his own mind because he feels that it has been compromised at the hands of his sick and twisted parents as a child and he has never gotten over this.
2. He fears companionship mostly because when in a fight situation Itami will flip the switch (trigger word) and go into a euphoric rage so he fears that he will kill or seriously harm them.
3. although Itami will not admit it he fears that his family history will come chasing after him and poison his surroundings therefore ripping from him his sanctuary away from this twisted history.

Motivations:
1. Itami is driven by his desire to overcome and abandon his past and all the things that he suffered at the hands of his parents.
2. Itami is also driven by need to be different from what he is now, this need drives him to change and improve who his is now into who he wants to be
3. His strongest motivation is to find his mother and force her to undo the (until now irreparable) damage done to his mind and then kill her horribly and slowly.
