Nagito Komaeda

1) Notable physical features: Komaeda has really wild looking white hair, kinda like a cloud on his head. He's also way too damn tall, about 5'11 and thin, wiry looking. He gestures a lot with his hands and has a very off putting laugh. His voice is soft and breathy.

2) Age: Teenager, 18 thanks to Empatheias time. In reality probably 21 or so.

3) What are some of their most common emotional effects?: His emotional effects have always been about weather patterns. Fog when he's confused, sleet and ice for emotions in the fear slider scale. Calm winds, to roaring thunder. Recently due to character development, they've taken on a more mythical sort of shape. The weather now weather based dragonic shapes.

4) Where they live, and what their home is like: Komaeda lives in a fairly middle class neighborhood not far from market street. He has a little one bedroom, one bath house with a backyard that he's steadily filling with books and maps. It's fairly cosy, but orderly. Any furniture is comfortable but has practical applications.

5) What they do during an average day in Verens:
His days are full of work - he is employed at a used book store that he works at five days a week for four hour shifts. His two days off he spends either in the library, out and about in the city. He's really boring, either he hangs with friends, or reads and naps.

During the mornings he checks the official government office for questions from the natives to pass on to Peromei. At night he has daily training with his teacher in the fine art of combat. Inbetween all of that he assists and works with the local detective agency Kirigiri Kyoko is running.

6) Their general sense of fashion: There's not much to write home about here. He sticks to t-shirts, or dress shirts, a long gray coat, boots, and vests if he's on the clock.

7) Hobbies: Reading, researching, and generally being nosy as hell. That's pretty much his hobbies. Most games are out because his wildly swinging luck puts the odds in his favor.
8) Jobs: As stated he works at a used bookstore part time, part time for Kirigiri, and whenever needed as a representative by the government.

9) Do they have a weapon? If so, do they carry it at all times or just under certain circumstances?: Yes but he doesn't carry his fist weapons openly.

10) How long have they been in Empatheias? How has their time here impacted them?: He's been in Empatheias for 13, almost 14 months. (The day I introduced him was may 5th last year.) His stay in Empatheias put him far closer to his island mode self. Without a need to sacrifice himself for glorious hope to be born, he's mostly harmless. Mostly. People have shown him that he can be accepted for just being himself and his 'skills' can be useful to others.

Over time he's even started to hate himself a lot less. Far from fixed, but better than he ways. He struggles with the concept of going home because he doesn't feel like he belongs there anymore. If he ever did.

11) Their favorite areas/stores/hang-out locations?: The library! Komaeda also hangs out around and in From The Hearth, his places of work, and in general wanders about the city. He avoids the nosiest places though.

12) Is the way they act in person different from the way they act over the amulets?: Nope, what you see is what you get. He talks exactly the same in amulets and out.

13) Is Empatheias a technological upgrade, or downgrade for them? Have they adapted to these changes well?: Downgrade but he's used to it by now.

14) Do they have any special talents? If so, what are they?: His talent is luck. It's not some magical always having good luck sort of deal. No, it's far closer to having a swinging axe overhead and wondering when it will drop. His luck swings between good and bad, with one following the other.

It's enough to drive a person to near insanity.

15) Do you have any goals for your character? Are there any hobbies you want them to discover or abilities you want them to learn?: My biggest goals I've been tackling with Komaeda is studying the world at large. How did it get to be this way? What happened to cause the Calamity? How did the Arehtei come to exist? As a slight control freak/nosy asshole, Komaeda wants to know all of it. It has become an obsession with him.

Along the way I've been working on letting him run loose in an environment that offers a lot of opportunities for him. It was by luck that I stumbled across a fairly positive series of character development opportunities.

16) Anything else you want to note?:

Any questions, concerns, what have you I'm available most days of the week by pm. It might take a bit as life is fairly busy for me. But I will answer.
