Zero Hirogawa (Shinjitsu)

name: zero??? hirogawa (sweats — idr how to spell his last name). maybe that’s not his real name. maybe thats the name he gave himself. would check out as to why it’s such a bad name.
text color: it was like. navy. i’ll change it hold on.
age: 17. He stopped aging recently though.
sexuality: uhhh he’s not straight
birthday: July 6th (Cancer). 

appearance:
say it with me. zero from vampire knight. don’t @ me I was like 13.

-short silver colored hair. silver eyes. pale skin because he’s a vamp prince. he’s very pretty (right up until he’s not — see below). 
-tall (6’3) boy. bad posture. muscular but hides it with layers of clothes.
-wears dumb combat boots and button-downs with a hoodie or dark colored jacket. (i’m really channeling 2007-2008 dakota’s wants with 2021 dakota’s knowledge of this ~scene~)
-he’s got vampire fangs. he literally never smiles with his teeth. when he’s happy he actively tries not to smile by scowling harder.
-debating whether or not i want to keep his tacky neck tattoo or not. he’s supposed to pass as 17. maybe it’s a family thing. his family is really metal to be giving children tattoos.
-pierced ears.
-sclera and pupils turn red when he’s hungry for, erm, blood. there’s literally no hiding it. its horrifying. maybe also when he feels intense emotion (angry, thrilled, melancholy, etc) because I like color changing eyes. hungry is an intense emotion right?

now that I think about it maybe his appearance changes when he needs to use his vampire powers??? like. his fangs get bigger and impossible to hide? his nails grow into claws? does he get WINGS? (but not like cool wings on his back i’m talking like under his arms — i want this to be a truly grotesque transformation). i’m just spitballing rn though.

personality:

[/i]
-sensitive
-witty
-loyal
-adventurous
-very composed! he isn’t stoic (i make too many stoic!!! characters) he’s just really good under pressure
-secretly gentle & kind. goes out of his way to find the good in people & situations. firmly believes that humans are inherently good & wants to be that way too.
-very (surprisingly?) diplomatic. prince-like mannerisms. you look at him and think he’s a hoodlum but he opens his mouth and he’s positively charming.
-a romantic! maybe to a fault! but he’s very thoughtful and will do whatever it takes for the people he loves.

i tried looking for OG shinjitsu to cringe some at what I wrote but i couldn’t find it so it didn’t exist


negatives:
-eMo (like “ugh you don’t understand me MOM” emo but he’s also emotional)
-a lil entitled & a lil naive — he gives everyone the benefit of doubt and expects the same.
-comes off awkward and calloused at first — keeps up a lot of barriers and isn’t totally sure he can drop them.
-SHY. so shy. sure he does a lot of truly nice things (or tries to) but he clams up as soon as anyone points it out.
-low self-esteem. unsure why vampires exist. you could be a cold-blooded murder and still be better than him if you’re a human.
-[insert royalty-based negative traits here] [/ul]


likes:
i dont remember i need to think
-humans
-small animals (think typical prey animals like mice & birds)
-hoodies
-coffee (im thinking about taking a tokyo ghoul approach where pure blooded vampires cant have human food but can inexplicably have coffee? and raw meat?)
-cleaning. he’s bit of a neat freak.

dislikes
a lot of things he’s kinda self-loathing in the species front

habits/quirks
uhhhh

district:
he’s got a lowkey student apartment (do those exist in japan? yes, right?). very small. has a (nice) futon, a kitchenette, a book shelf and a window looking at other apartments. he has a few plants and keeps a bowl of food outside his door for the stray cats. he literally eats, reads, and sleeps on the same futon. he doesnt have a table or chairs. he calls it minimalism. i’m sorry katara.

that didn’t answer your question. lets say kaze so for convenience.

abilities:
persuasion??? super strength (to, you know, bring down a grown man to EAT them?)??
brb googling vampire powers.

history:
i’m using the history section to figure out what i’m doing.

i know i referred to him being apart of the “royal” family but i think that just means he’s part of a pure vampire bloodline. which means he was born that way and not transformed by another vampire. maybe they’re treated like royalty bc they can literally give you immortality and they use that to get humans to serve them.

i know he isn’t FROM gin city bc i’m writing him as a runaway. maybe there’s “royal” families all over the world? am I saying the queen of england is a vampire? maybe she is?

but really i might make a place just as imaginary as gin city in northern japan where his family is basically in charge and he was like “um, bye” one day. runaway prince. off to wear his peasant hot topic hoodies in peace.

maybe he has powers of persuasion and that’s how he got into school bc without parents that would be a big question mark. that’s also how he has money. or maybe he stole a bunch from mom and dad. maybe both.

chiyuki still exists but she’s not in gin city. she’s in snow city (i’ll come up with another name) being a vampire princess and loving it. I thought about getting rid of her completely and giving zero a pet snake name chiyuki but that would be cruel to younger me. just know chiyuki is okay she’s just not suki’s side character bestie. suki doesnt need friends now.

good enough relationship with his parents? just wants to be on his own. maybe something happened (which caused him to stop aging) and they didn’t understand why he was upset with it. maybe he accidentally killed someone. yeah. i’m thinking murder is what stops your aging process as a pure blooded vampire.

can we just address that 13 year old me made these vampires from SPACE smfh. hate that for me.[/ul]
