MORI, junichi

JUNICHI KIYOSHI MORI

JUN

17 ✚ MALE ✚ HOMOSEXUAL ✚ 5'5 ✚ 120 LBS ✚ APRIL 20TH ✚ HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Junichi has always been on the slimmer side, even growing up. He would blame his genetics, but anyone else would point to his vehement dislike of dairy milk and leave it at that. Long, silky blonde hair is usually tied back in a loose ponytail with a ribbon or hair tie, whichever is closest, though gradually falls out throughout the day to elegantly frame his face.
Jun would, once again, like to bring everyone’s attention to his genetics to explain his more-than-lacking height. Standing straight, he barely reaches 5’5” and weighs in at 120 lbs. Sparkling blue eyes peer out from his face, successfully providing a slight contrast to his tanned skin thanks to years of frolicking about under the sun.

The boy enjoys more elaborately designed clothing. He thrives off buckles and zippers, cuffs and cufflinks, often enjoying multiple layers (all cotton, of course) of undershirts and vests. Junichi prefers loose-fitting jeans, all the better to run and jump in, complete with an oversized belt for added flair. Though he refrains from all furs, finding them tacky at best and stomach churning at every other time, Jun isn’t often seen without his leather combat boots with excellent traction.
The blonde usually wears a pair of well-worn gloves due to their ability to grab things and not slip. These come in handy when he’s climbing trees and swinging from branch to branch, or else leaping from rooftops. Because of all this amateur parkour behaviour, Junichi is prone to tears and rips in his clothing. To remedy this, he hand sews patches wherever necessary, only adding to his “slightly homeless” appearance.

Jun, having always been a thrill seeker, sports a number of scars along his body. He likes to think of them as a road map of where he’s been and what he’s done. Along his upper thigh, for instance, is long scar where he jumped through a window from his dining table, attempting to escape from a spanking. Another marks the place on his kneecap where his cousin threw a pair of scissors at in a fit of anger, and yet more scars adorn his shoulders and back as a result of his sharp wit and a taser-happy policeman.
There are countless other markings and scars, including a birthmark in the vague shape of a lopsided octopus on his tailbone. Junichi also has several ear piercings, somewhere between five and six on each ear.

✚ CAREFREE – Junichi rarely allows himself to dwell on things that stress him out, preferring to do something and clear his mind or at least ignore what’s bothering him. He loves to share smiles with people, believes that laughter is the best medicine (because duh), and generally just enjoys life.
✚ COMPASSIONATE – Preferring to be happy at all times, Junichi has an innate ability to sense someone else’s obvious discontent and tries his damndest to make that person better, provided he has no predisposed dislike of them.
✚ OPTIMISTIC – Jun does not get along well with people who insist on seeing the worst side of every situation. Or those that blame themselves even when they weren’t even part of the equation, but that’s beside the point. The boy understands misery and grief, even hatred are all part of life and he gives his time to that when needed. But if there’s no reason to wallow and instead time would be better spent on seeing the bright side, why the hell not?
✚ LOYAL – Very rarely will Junichi find a reason to stop being someone's friend. Naturally he needs his space, and he's got no issue voicing any complaints to people, but he won’t drop people like a hat. He knows what friendship is to people, because he knows what it is to himself. He thrives off company and mutual conversation about things all parties like, discussing each other’s lives and problems, and just friends in general.
✚ ADVENTUROUS- Jun lives for thrills, always has. As a child, the fire department would often by called because he’d climbed the water tower again, or the time he entered the bonobo enclosure at the zoo and climbed trees with them for an hour before anyone noticed, or even attempting to bungee jump off a bridge with a series of sheets tied together because he saw it in a movie once. The point is, Junichi’s spirit is a restless one that requires constant stimulation to be content.


✚ OUTDOORS - Being cooped up indoors does unexplainably uncomfortable things to Junichi’s brain. He requires a minimum of three hours outside a day, otherwise the negative sides of what actually appears to be withdrawal can manifest.
✚ CONVERSATION - Jun loves to engage in talks with people, and rarely are there any awkward silences with him. It seems he’s always got something to chatter on about, even if it’s a one-sided situation with plenty of interruptions on his part. He does try to be more fair in conversation, though, and genuinely enjoys listening to others’ points of views.
✚ FLIRTING - He would never admit it, but Junichi definitely gets something out of being "friendly" with people. He enjoys making others feel good about themselves, and of course he gets the bonus of being the source of someone’s current attraction.
✚ PARKOUR - It's difficult to actually call what he does parkour because due to his uncoordinated and spontaneous outbursts of it, but the inexplicable explosions of energy and making an obstacle course out of public scenery can't be ignored. Junichi loves it.
✚ CHILDREN - Having always acted like one himself, Junichi has a particular affinity towards getting along splendidly with kids.

✚ CARELESS – The downside of Jun’s carefree nature is his tendency to not plan things out, jumping into things headfirst and risking serious injury to himself or potentially ruining relationships. He acts and says things rashly sometimes, even failing in seeing why what he said or did was wrong. This is due more to the maturity he has yet to totally grasp more than malicious or selfish intent, though.
✚ ADRENALINE JUNKIE – This is yet another flipside of Jun’s adventurous attitude. He may not even realize it himself, but there’s more than a hint of addiction to seeking thrills of all kinds. While he doesn’t do drugs, more because he just never thought of it than a particular dislike towards them, Junichi is undeniably hooked on risking his own safety at least once a day. This tends to greatly worry those that are close to him, even with his constant assurances that he’ll be fine.
✚ ADHD – While he doesn’t consider it a bad thing, others can be bothered by Junichi’s hyperactive personality. Sometimes he just can’t stop talking, or fidgeting, or just thinking and wearing those thoughts on his face. For the most part he’s got a handle on it, medicating himself with plenty of exercise in trees or spontaneous parkour stunts outside and inside school. But when forced to remain stationary or inside for longer than a day, he’s prone to stress and sleep loss.
✚ IMPATIENT – Junichi was never very skilled at waiting his turn; some may call him a brat for this very reason. But it’s less of a personal wanting-everyone-to-do-what-he-wants, and much more a desire-for-constant-stimulation. People that talk slowly bore him, and anyone preaching the “slow and steady win the race” mantra is likely to be brushed off by him.
✚ JEALOUS – While he’s not materialistic, Jun sometimes finds himself wishing ill on others that take attention away from him. If he witnesses someone else seemingly spending more time with his friends, he’s occasionally prone to inwardly seething. If he has a crush, the same result occurs, though with an added vengeance. Usually he just works out his aggression by roof-jumping or tree climbing, though rarely will he actually voice his complaints.


✚ SELF-VICTIMIZING- Not a lot gets under Jun’s skin, but those that wallow in self-pity and make themselves out to be wronged just rubs him the wrong way. If you’re wronged, you go and confront whoever did it, not take a proverbial crap in the middle of the room and expect other people to clean it up.
✚ INDOORS- Apparently this can’t be stressed enough. Jun would live outside if given the chance.
✚ UNIFORMITY- The opposite of individuality. Junichi can't stand looking the same or just blending into a crowd. Naturally he knows how and when to keep his head down, but his natural demeanour and flair for clothing tends to separate him from the rest; he'd like to keep it that way.
✚ DAIRY MILK- It's pus and antibiotics and oh god the hormones.
✚ HOMEWORK- Time could be so much better spent outside the home, let alone doing work.

FAMILY ✚ Katsumi (father - 43), Megumi (mother - 45)

Junichi’s childhood was filled to the brim with excitement. While he didn’t have any siblings, he grew up around eleven cousins who might as well have been his brothers and sisters. Petty fights, wrestling, arguing over ice cream and kittens, it was what many would call an ideal way to grow up. He learned how to share because of them, and how to deal with difficult situations involving pesky things called “feelings”, and eventually grew to become best friends with many of them. There’s still the odd ones that always hated him, but Junichi never let that deter him from his relentless mentality of family coming first. Being a master of passive aggression, he rarely failed in getting them to at least acknowledge his presence.
Apart from the dozens of close calls and near death experiences (and because of these, he’d claim), Jun lived a very happy life. Affection was never withheld, and he always understood the importance of talking to at least his mother about any issues he had. Unlike most children, Junichi grasped the concept of adults having different perspectives and this actually being an excellent thing to take advantage of.
Unfortunately, his relationship with his father was always somewhat strained. Of course the man loved Junichi, and he often let this be common knowledge. But the biggest obstacle between the two was always his hyperactivity and ceaseless attempts to pull dangerous stunts. Katsumi grew to be very over-protective of Junichi, often scolding the boy and taking away privileges all because of his deep-seated fear of losing him. This obviously did nothing but cause more tension and dislike, resulting in even more acting out on Jun’s part.
This dance continued on for several years. At the age of seven, the Mori family moved to the United States, partly due to a job transfer, but also because of the alleged prestigious schools residing there.
Katsumi, determined to instill more self control in his son, enrolled him in several different academies, some boarding schools, others bordering on bootcamp. But each and every time, Junichi orchestrated a plan to get expelled. Before long, the family was forced to settle with Jun attending a public high school, though part of this was because of their lack of funds to spend on private schooling.
Still, just because Junichi got his way doesn't mean the family is content. While Megumi understands and ultimately forgives the boy, Katsumi feels disappointed in his own son and ultimately responsible for the way Junichi is.

Not being affiliated with a gang and not at all able to fend for himself, Junichi lives at home with his mother and father.
