Hair:
A mountain of locks sit messily atop the lad’s crown spilling over his forehead in a wave of curls. White in color, with a tuft of hair jutting out of the backend of his skull, it greatly compliments Ichiro’s tanned skin.

Eyes:
Eyes of a cyan hue sit beneath the mass of White locks, that sometimes obscures his vision to the point of annoyance. Always lively, they seem to radiate with an unnaturally cheery hue, rarely revealing the inner disgust and hatred lurking within them. Surrounded by thin eyelashes, there isn’t much else to the colorful orbs save for an overall cockiness they seem to radiate.

Height:
Five-foot seven

Weight:
Slender shoulders and arms frame Ichiro’s chest. Limbs, naked of even the slightest hint of muscle hang from the otaku’s torso, unwelcome reminders of just how scrawny he is. His chest is equally puny, lacking any real definition as it does it best to imitate the body of a twelve year old boy. Likewise, his legs are like noodles, stringy and long, they do their best to prop up the White-haired heartthrob.

Clothing Style:
Ichiro is a cosplay enthusiast with a fetish for anime, so strong, that it has lead him to alter his everyday attire to fit its aesthetics. Largely consisting of brightly colored outfits, adorned with childish accessories and knickknacks, there is no limit to how creative his wardrobe can get. From belts straddling his neck to modified jackets, Ichiro is on the cutting edge of weird fashion. Even something as common as pants are redesigned into some cartoonish parody of its former self. Unsurprisingly, this choice in clothing leaves most with a rather odd impression of Ichiro.

Extra:
On either side of Ichiro’s countenance, hangs twin earrings, one dangling from the base of his ear, whilst the other puncture two holes in the bone above.

Positive:

• Conscious of his tender flesh and laughable prowess, Ichiro takes to battle with a tactician’s wit.
  
• Through cunning persuasions the foul Ichiro leads chaste souls astray.
  
• Possessed with great intelligence and centered mind, Ichiro has all the makings of a teacher someday.
  
• Ichiro is protective of people who have earned his trust.
  
• Daredevil, He’d rather live each day to its fullest with disregard for whatever challenges comes his way
  

Negative:

• Buried beneath pale flesh and fragile bones beats a blackened heart, blind to mercy and ruthless in intent.
  
• Insincerity bleeds fourth from his every word like blood from a wound.
  
• Perverted thoughts consume Ichiro like a great hunger, often leading him to satiate these cravings through sexual taboos.
  
• As humility comes with the passing of years, Ichiro’s age has only heightened his manipulative nature.
  
• With a heart full of selfishness, Ichiro's greed knows no bounds.
  

Personality:
To be blunt, Ichiro is a nerd, and if not for a pretty face and a good sense of humor, life would have been much rougher. He has little understanding of what people his age are even into nor is he aware of established trends or fads. Instead of talking about sports he’d rather prattle on about how “awesome” some anime he’d just seen was, or those really cool figures he just purchased. Thankfully, this is where his odd, but infectious wit come into play. Any sarcastic snipe leveled his way is embraced and effectively countered with a verbal jab of his own, or turned into a joke. It is rare for him to not elicit at least a chuckle from another person, even an enemy.

Whatever notions of flamboyance Ichiro’s attire might invite, he is a solitary fellow and prefers the company of a dark corner to a crowded room. Not unlike the majority of his life, Ichiro is a wallflower who doesn’t particularly care to invite attention upon himself or his activities. That is not say this is because he hates people, as the few online friend he has will testify, but for a hermitic lad the likes of Ichiro, interaction interest him little. Leading the child to disappear from sight whenever possible, and simply watch from the wayside. When forced to interact Ichiro can be a bit of a social butterfly, until he can find an excuse to sneak away, anyway. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and if Ichiro really likes someone these normally introverted qualities of his vanish in favor of an energetic and chatty personality. He becomes very much like a little kid when this happens, and cannot stop himself from rambling on for hours on end about whatever pops into his skull. And in return he will devout himself fully to that person’s happiness. He’d even go so far as to a rob a bank for his best friend, or a lover.

Concealed by a handsome face, beguiling eyes, and a charming smile, lurks a venomous tongue and a cruel wit. And whenever so inspired, be it by humor, frustration, or, simple meanness. The two emerge with unrelenting fury, spewing bile at whomever so happens to anger Ichiro. Mockery is their weapon of choice, typically mixed in a cocktail of flattery or spiteful jabs. To no surprise this sudden eruption of cruelty from the normally placid Ichiro throws most off guard. Whenever questioned about this hostile behavior, however; he simply explains it away as a joke and brushes off concern with hollow apologies.

History:
Born in Japan to neglectful yet wealthy parents, Ichiro was a spoiled and lonely child whose days consisted of watching anime and amusing himself on the internet. His parents always regarded much of their son’s weirder habits as being a “phase” that the boy would grow out of. And while they were less than happy about them they had to admit his politeness, strong grades, and, (when he tried) sociable nature made up for his stranger hobbies, somewhat. When not being hounded by his parents to dress like other boys his age, Ichiro spent his large allowance on whatever he wanted. Surprisingly, his eccentric traits failed to hamper his relations with his classmates. Primarily, thanks to his good looks, which won over the hearts of females, and a sense of humor that amused the male students to no end.

In Elementary school, Ichiro met the love of his life, a tomboyish girl by the name of Ai Ren Chikamatsu. Born to a modest, but loving family her approach to life was radically different yet they were inseparable despite obvious differences. Ren was more grounded and athletic while Ichiro was flashy and offbeat, though this did little to hinder the bond they formed. One made up for what the other lacked, and vice versa, besides he‘d finally met someone worthy of his company. Happy to have their son finally bring home a friend, they hoped Ren would normalize their oddball son. A well mannered girl with a good head on her shoulders, they were sure she could guide their child back on a path befitting a boy, even if she was a lazy child. Ichiro was just happy to find someone with whom he could share his little world with, without having to compromise who he was as a person.

By the time he entered High school, the duo had grown so close that they’d begun dating. When Ichiro told his parents they’d become overjoyed if a bit annoyed at the lack of influence she’d had over him, nonetheless, they were satisfied. Lately he has begun to notice strange things, although; his Persona is dormant.

Persona:
Mary Bateman

Born to a farmer in Asenby, North Yorkshire,[1] she became a servant girl in Thirsk, North Yorkshire but was eventually released for petty theft. During the 1780s, she became a minor thief and con artist who often convinced many of her victims she possessed supernatural powers. By the end of the century, she had become a prominent fortuneteller in Leeds who prescribed potions which she claimed would ward off evil spirits as well as acting as medicine.

In 1806, Bateman was approached by William and Rebecca Perigo who believed they had been put under a spell after Rebecca had complained of chest pains and asked for her help in lifting the curse. However, over the next several months, Bateman began feeding them pudding which was laced with poison. While Rebecca regularly ate the pudding, her husband was unable to eat more than a spoonful. Rebecca's condition worsened however and she finally died in May 1806. William Perigo continued to pay her for more than two years until he discovered one of the "charms" which he and his wife had received from Bateman was worthless paper; he went to the authorities who arrested Bateman the following day after William lured her to a meeting.

Although she proclaimed her innocence, a search of her home turned up poison as well as many personal belongings of her victims including the Perigo couple. In March 1809, she was tried in York and found guilty by a jury of fraud and murder. Sentenced to death, Bateman attempted to avoid her execution by claiming she was pregnant however a later physical examination disproved this. She was finally hanged alongside two men on March 20, 1809. After her execution, her body was put on public display with strips of her skin being sold as magic charm to ward off evil spirits.

Bateman's skeleton is on display to the public at Thackray Museum in Leeds.
