Kanji Tatsumi

Height; 6 foot / 183 cm.
Weight; Canon lists him as 65kg/143lb, but honestly, I’m inclined not to trust those figures given his height and build…

General Appearance;
Kanji’s tall, toned and muscular (though he could only really be called ‘beefcake’ by comparison to his friends), and looks decidedly older than his probably-seventeen years. He’s carrying a number of scars, the most obviously noticeable of which is the short one on his left temple; the rest tend to be hidden under his clothing, various scrapes and burns from fights and an odd straight-line pattern in one spot that dates to the power-screw incident. His hair’s brown-black, and currently suffers from being a rather undefined loose style; he gels and spikes it back, but when he can’t be bothered, it’s getting to the stage where it’s starting to fall all over the place.

Physical Mannerisms;
While the past year’s softened him a little, it’s very clear that Kanji’s spent a lot of his life trying to show just how damn tough he is, even when he no longer has any reason to. His bearing’s rough, his posture frankly awful and slouchy; he takes up a lot of space when he’s moving. When he’s still, he sometimes has a slightly defensive air to him. He’s actually capable of making himself comfortable in odd situations and positions.

Verbal Mannerisms;
Rough and loud as anything. Kanji’s tone is incredibly casual and slangy, no matter who he’s talking to. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect them, it’s just habit - he’s as likely to swear and snap around his own mother as he is around his best friends… he’s trying to at least bite his tongue on the worst of the swearing around authority he respects and around kids. He rarely uses any sort of honorific, the exception being the odd ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ or towards the friends he brought from his own world. He drops syllables, runs words together, all the rest of it. If he’s stressed, he tends to ‘um’ and ‘ah’ and trip over his words all over the place. His voice is pretty deep and sometimes a little nasal.

Fashion;
Kanji is, honestly, trying to find a look that he’s happy with at the moment… He actually dresses decently smartly, as a rule. Actual buttoned down shirts and the like, sometimes with a bit of interesting embroidery on them. He still tends towards dark colours, though, deep blues and purples, and a leather jacket - as much for its protective qualities in case trouble breaks out as for the image it portrays. As someone with both Drawing Life and skill with a needle and thread, he often designs his own clothes! He still wears a number of earrings, and often a necklace of some sort, along with simple oval-framed glasses. He’s pretty much always carrying a small sketchbook in a pocket, and he habitually puts cute decorations on things he owns.

Etc; A big moment for him, as an example of his voice.
