Physical Appearance

Shiba stands at about 180 cm tall. His hair is short (so that it reveals the ears), slightly spiky and black. Being Japanese, his eyes are also black. His skin is lightly tanned, having trained in the sun during club activities for long periods of time. He isn't stunningly good-looking, but falls somewhere in-between that and plain. When leaving the house he wears nothing special, just anything that suits the occasion.

Personality

Most of his classmates find that Shiba just fades into the background -- not because he is particularly forgettable, but more because of his general inactivity. He is usually taciturn in demeanor to everyone; even more so to people he isn't close to. Overall he can be described as a man of few words: only speaking when spoken to.
Before the incident during his second year of elementary school that drew him into his current shell, however, Shiba was a more outspoken and friendly boy.

Past to Present
Shiba was best friends with Toyonaga Riju (NIKI's OC) since the first year of elementary school where they happened to be in the same class.

In the second year of elementary school, Shiba lost his mother, Nao, in a car accident. The incident broke his friendship with Toyonaga in a way that will be elaborated later on if both OCs are accepted. After the tragedy his family decided to move to another prefecture, where he proceeded to excel in hurdling in middle school (having joined the track-and-field club since elementary school).

During the last year of middle school Shiba decided to figure out exactly what made his friendship with Toyonaga sour. Thus he went to live with his grandparents in the prefecture Seisou is situated in, which also happens to be the place he lived before moving out with his father.

In Seisou he joined the track-and-field club and proceeded life as per normal. He works part-time on weekdays and Saturdays at the local convenience store, 8-Eleven.

Relationships

FAMILY

Shiba Kazuya (41): Father of Shiba who is his spitting image in both personality and looks. Is a rather reclusive writer, and became even more so after the death of his wife. His father-son relationship with Shiba runs deep, even though what they exhibit may not appear so. Shiba visits him every so often during breaks.

Shiba Nao (30 when deceased): Mother of Shiba, a housewife. Went out shopping before being hit by a speeding car. Before her death she and Shiba were very attached to each other. Her family never fails to visit her grave during her death anniversary.

Shiba Marehiko (68): Grandfather, a gentle old man who Shiba is surprisingly soft towards.

Shiba Kanako (64): Grandmother, can be a bit of a nag at times. Shiba puts up with her as she is.

FRIENDS

Toyonaga Riju (17): Best friends with Shiba up till the time when his mother died. He studies in Seisou as well, by luck or by chance, but is in a different class. They see each other rarely and do not acknowledge each other.

After meeting each other again, they've started to develop a, if not friendly, more cordial relationship.

Involved Threads & Timeline

2. March by the Poolside
3. Diminuendo in 8-Eleven

5. Rooftop Legato
6.Polyrhythmics
7.Accented Kick

Sample RP (>=10 lines):

A bead of sweat fell from his brow. Shiba wiped it away with the sleeve of his tracksuit, and continued running. Night was soon falling, and the sunset painted pink and orange was slowly being swirled away with a murky dark blue. Normally he'd have finished his training by the time, but something in him told him to run more. He'd think about dinner another day.

He had seen that brown head again today. A very distinctive brown head it was, darting through the crowd snapping pictures at nothing in particular. All Shiba had done was to let his eyes narrow for a split second, before correcting his expression with haste. No way in hell was he going to acknowledge him, not now, at least.

There was one more loop around the town to make. Then he'd be finished, and he'd have forgotten.

Not everything, but enough.
