Character you apply for: Hihara Kazuki

How often will you be able to role-play?: Every day, ideally. Most likely it will be around two or three times a week.

Character Description (biography, behavior, relationships...):

A skilled trumpet player, Hihara Kazuki’s music has a signature style of being energetic. He did not always play trumpet. In fact, he took part in track and field up until junior high. The tournaments and the competition of the events mattered very little to him, since he loved running for the fun of it. It was during track practice that Hihara was first introduced to the trumpet; he heard an upperclassman practicing up on the roof. Sometimes Hihara would go up onto the roof to listen to the female student play her trumpet, and once she even brought a second trumpet for Hihara to try. One day, while Hihara was trying to decide if he should stay in track or switch over to music, he was walking by a music store. He saw a trumpet in the window and decided he honestly wanted to play the trumpet. From then on, Hihara began playing the trumpet, because he loved it and because he wanted to cheer on (through his music) the people he cared about.

It is easy to get along with Hihara as he is a very open person and will say things honestly. He is also incredibly energetic and enthusiastic, especially about his trumpet and music in general. Because of his enthusiastic and perhaps optimistic outlook on life it is easy for Hihara to cheer others up when they are feeling down. However, when the people he cares about are depressed he tends to become depressed as well. This is particularly true when it comes to Hino Kahoko, whom he fell in love with during the course of the concours. Whenever a situation comes up where he nearly lets slip his feelings about her, he becomes very flustered and attempts to cover up what he was going to say.

For the most part, Hihara is on friendly terms with the other participants of the Seiso concours. He is good friends with Yunoki Azuma and is often seen with the flutist. They met on their first day of school and because Yunoki was very calm and mature, Hihara assumed Yunoki to be an upperclassman. Hihara also seems to get along well with Tsuchiura Ryotarou, though there are times when the exuberant Hihara irritates Tsuchiura. An example of this would be when the competition members went to the Fuyuumi vacation house and Hihara and Tsuchiura had a brief conversation about dating.
Another of Hihara’s friends is Takemoto Kazuha, a student at Toho Gakuen. Oddly enough their personalities are extremely different. She is a girl with an acerbic tongue, yet she and Hihara are still good friends.

Your goals? (what do you plan with your character?) I want to explore Hihara’s open personality. I hope to delve into his character and expand on the layers of his personality and not simply focus on Hihara’s enthusiastic nature. Not only do I want to explore the different faucets of Hihara’s personality (I think there is more to him than his honest and open personality), but I hope to deepen his relationships with the other characters—explore his friendships and the romantic feelings he has for Hino Kahoko or the romantic feelings he might develop for other characters.

Short sample RP (~10 lines):

It had been a long time since he had gone running like this, Kazuki admitted to himself. The fabric of his shorts and tank top rustled like a distant song in his ears almost like the last echoes of the piece he had been practicing earlier that day at school during his lunch break. A wide grin broke out across his face as he recalled the cheery Gavotte piece. While the piece was a simple one, but it brought back memories of the day he and Kahoko-chan had played a duet together. The duet had come about as a result of stepping in to rescue Hino Kahoko—yes, he liked to think of it as a rescue—when the Yunoki bodyguards insisted on hearing the regular department student play her violin.

Together the sound of his trumpet and Hino’s violin had ignited Kazuki’s enthusiasm, and remembering that day sent a strength coursing through his body. Kazuki pushed himself to run faster and each step fell in time to that tune still repeating in his head. He felt his cheeks warm at the thought of Kahoko-chan and one thought about her gave rise to many more: her music, the way she genuinely cared about others, the color of her hair, the way her lips formed a smile, the way she smelled when she stood close…

“Aarrgghh! Why am I thinking things like that now?” Kazuki wailed, mussing up his shaggy green hair as he slowed to a walk.

His heart thudded in his chest, a silent mantra for the feelings Kazuki possessed for Hino. But though the trumpet player knew of his feelings and could admit them to himself, it still felt odd for his thoughts to travel in the direction that they had. Flustered, Kazuki threw himself back into an even-paced run.
