 Kouji Minamoto
ronin47 Some of you will know ronin47 as Kouji Minamoto from Digimon Frontier. Because of the nature of the RP, his real appearance and age isn't the canon but his DO avatar is. Kouji isn't an avid fan of video games. He plays, but only when he's got nothing else better to do. He thinks gaming is a kid's thing to do so he's not particularly proud of joining Digimon Online. So to him it's only appropriate to use a kid avatar in joining an online game. Not only that, most people would either leave him alone (the age range were adults and teenagers) and underestimate him. It's a win-win situation. On his last birthday, his parents decided to buy him the game. Even though he doesn't really have an interest for it, the gesture was incredibly thoughtful. He was definitely surprised, never expecting them to buy him an expensive capsule for his own use, and also touched but Kouji didn't express himself right. He didn't so intentionally. Since his father's remarriage, Kouji hasn't been in good terms with both his parents since he was ten. As he'd grown older, he's become more understanding of the situation and yearns to reconcile but the hostility that had embedded between them was not forgotten. You'll see him acting like a big jerk and it pains him that he's that way too. The only way he knows how to make up for it was to pay his parents back for the game. Hence, he now works for Digimon Online. online persona Kouji doesn't act differently in the game from real life but there's the fact he considers his stay in DO to be work, not a time to play or socialize. Although he usually stays out of anyone's business and works on his own, because of his job Kouji is more chatty and friendly. He answers players' questions the best that he can, follows protocol and keeps up training (since his job is to help players in battles too, his Digimon has to be strong). He's had previous part-time jobs including a job in a guitar shop as a clerk so he does have experience dealing with people. It's not something he does because he fancies meeting new people and forming new relationships. It's just part of the job.
Kouji isn't that enthusiastic about the game but he does have to admit he's having some fun. It was more amazing than he thought. Before playing the game, he thought it was just some hype. Kouji being among those people not interested in what the mass media dictates, he's never taken a look at the bandwagon. The virtual world is much more fluid and interactive than he thought. It really is just like real life.
With a business-relationship in mind, Kouji's not particularly thinking of making friends with the players. He'll probably make some with his colleagues (or not, depending on whether or not he tries) but he'll be keeping his distance from the players. The only thing he's looking forward when dealing with players is they give some feedback and give him a promotion or something. He's not sure yet what a GM does but Kouji doesn't want to keep training his Digimon. It's too time-consuming.
Kouji won't reveal anything about his real identity. He'll just be ambiguous about it at most, especially when it comes to his age since it's obvious he's not really a ten-year-old kid. personal life Kouji is an average Japanese student going to an unnamed public high school. His family is in the upper middle class. His father, Kousei is an engineer and his stepmother, Satomi is a veterinarian and a bird flying-type trainer. He's part of the kendo team of his school and have participated in nationals before. His main hobby is playing the guitar and he was in a band back in middle school until he and his friends went to their separate ways after graduation. He has a German Shepherd named Korra lol who he considers to be a best friend, having been with the dog since he was nine. He's more of a dog person than a people person.
I didn't plot out his entire life but if you can fit in any of those, we can establish some past/current relationships or some out-of-screen events that takes place IRL. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, I'm open to all of them.
Also, Kouji's never had a girlfriend. Maybe he's gone to a few dates before (he hasn't had one for the past year or so) but none of them meant anything. He's rather shy :v
Oh and my English isn't as cluttered as this. I didn't spellcheck this or anything so sorry to all grammar nazis out there. My posts are much better!
