APP POOOOOOOST
Aug. 19th, 2007 06:38 amName: Yamamoto Takeshi
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Age: 13. Yeah.
Canon: Yamamoto's kinda dumb.
He has everything but the brains: good looks, popularity, athletic skill, and a personality laid-back enough to roll with anything just short of a nuclear bomb dropped on his head. Yamamoto's friendly, always looks on the bright side, and tends to blurt whatever's on his mind. He becomes good friends with classmate Sawada Tsunayoshi - the unwilling 10th boss of the Vongola mafia family - and gains the attention of Tsuna's tutor Reborn, a ruthless one-year-old baby assassin in a pimp hat and suit. So what does a nice guy like Yamamoto do when a tough-talking tiny tot scouts him to join the mafia? Why, he picks that clever baby up on his shoulders and says he'll be glad to join, of course! There's no harm in playing along, right? Hell, he wants to be Tsuna's right-hand man while he's at it.
Since then, Yamamoto has cheerfully faced barrages of live gunfire, bombs, snipers, swordfights, and even a corpse in Tsuna's room, all without realizing he's participating in something a LITTLE BIT SKETCHY. Through the blessings of obsessive baseball training and sheer crack, he lacks the ability to hold back his ridiculous strength when he pitches anything, and he's naturally skilled enough to hold his own in mortal combat. He's generally non-confrontational, but insanely competitive - enough so that getting messily wounded just means the "mafia game" is more hardcore, and he loves it like that. ...Basically, if you swung a bloody metal clue-by-four at Yamamoto's head, he would laugh, duck, say with a smug grin that it was a good shot but not qui~te good enough, and then happily admire how real all the red paint looks after he's disarmed you. He might even let it hit him if it's for a friend.
Sample Post:
Now, this place blows the haunted house I went to last Halloween right out of the water. When Reborn told me I was going to meet up with the family at a horror-themed training camp used to "adapt the mafia's hitmen to high levels of fear and danger," I guess I should have expected something this exciting! The atmosphere of this forest is downright creepy - all the screaming in the distance is a great touch, though it does remind me of home a little. Hang on guys, backup has arrived~
--Wait, who's that? A kid crying? Aw, I guess not everyone can handle a role-playing game as realistic as See Eff You Dee. Hey kiddo, are you alright? Was it the gorillas? It's okay, guys in big purple animal suits can't be too dangerous! Chin up, I'll help you get to the cabi-- Geez, you look kinda ill. Maybe you should think about balancing your diet more, it should strengthen your constitution, and being that scrawny can't be good either. Oh, you're hungry?
HA HA HA, ohhhh! You're a zombie! My apologies~ That's a fantastic mask, I totally couldn't tell it wasn't your face! And you really moan from your gut, I love it! I guess looking like you're lost is your way of luring in unsuspecting victims? Haha, good job kiddo, you got me! Well, I'd share some of the sushi I packed for the campers with you to cure that hunger, but if you're in character I guess you're on a pretty strict diet, am I right? It must be tough being undead at your age. Though hey, you've got a pretty tight grip - heh heh, I guess you've been taking your vitamins on the sly aside from all those brains after all ow! Haha, was that a bee sting? I guess you can't bite hard with a little mouth like that~ Sorry little zombie, but I can't be your meal--
Whoa, I didn't expect your arm to come clean off from that little twist! Oh wow, it's still clutching my shirt and climbing up for my throat, just like a zombie arm should! This is great! Did you get this at a gag shop? Hey now, I can't just give it back. If I relax and go easy on you I won't survive, right?~ But I'll tell you what: how about you go look for this in the woods while I find my friends, and you can come chase after my brains again some other time. Okay? Heeeere's the pitch! . . .Whoops. Aah, sorry, I always have trouble holding back - Hey, I'm sure it didn't land in the volcano! Check the woods to the right, okay?
And there he goes, right after it! Man, he's a young actor, but he's really devoted to his character. You gotta love it when someone goes that extra mile, you know? I like it here already!
