Physical Appearance



Funny thing about Komakai, he ain't no normal teenager. In fact you might miss him if you always are looking up, but if you look down you'll see the four foot male beneath you. Komakai has dwarfism which means...he's kinda short. But the rest of him is of normal size. He weighs about 90 pounds; giving him a BMI of 27.5, he's over weight by just a smidge, but he doubts that he can fix that. And will probably just gain weight as time goes on. He has short black hair, the front just reaching above his eyes. While the back reaches slightly beyond his neck. His eyes are brown, and his face is surprisingly devoid of any acne or things of that sort. Facial hair wise he has a faint little goutie sprouting on his chin.

Clotheing wise Komakai usally dresses in dark colours. He's not one to follow any certain fashion trend and usally just dresses in what ever he finds to be comfortable. He does have a lot of shirts on with anime or video game things on them. Cause he's a nerd like that. Of course he has a pair of sunglasses that he loves, cause they make him look cool(Or at least he thinks they do.) And will sometimes even have them on indoors. The most important thing he wears is a ring, a ring which was given to him by his mother. He treasures the ring more then anything else, since it's a constant reminder of her.

Other then that Komakai's a sucker for dressing up formally. And has a tuxedo and even a top hat. He just wishes there were more chances to ware it.


Personality

Humorous

Komakai always tries to be funny...always. He figures if is always making people laugh, then everyone will like him. His comedy has no sacrifice, be it making fun of himself or others. As long as he gets a laugh he'll continue to make those jokes. And his jokes spans threw all genres, be it witty comebacks, knock knock jokes or even physical humour. Laughter is the best medicine after all...and he hopes that it can cure his loneliness. His laugh is also very humorous and extremely contagious.

Ladies man(Or at least he tries to be one)
The dwarf just loves girls, more then most things in life. Their looks, their voices, their smiles. Komakai loves everything about those strange creatures he calls girls. And so he'll always try to flirt with them. Despite the title of 'Ladies Man' that he gives himself, he's more then happy to be in a steady relationship. And despite how many times he gets rejected(I'm predicting a lot.) he'll always go for another fish in the sea of life. He has a weakness for girls with a large chest though. He's defiantly easily whipped.

Cool

The perverted male always wants to be cool. Cause you can't get any ladies if you ain't cool. Even though there are a lot of things that Komakai does that is pretty uncool. He just states that he does them in a much cooler way.

Nerd

Despite trying to be cool, deep down Komakai's just one big nerd. A huge lover of anime and video games, and often uses catch phrases or speeches from his favourite animes. And often wares anime/video game related clothes. And always cosplays when he can.

Actor

“Life is a stage, and we are all merely players.”

Komakai's dream is to become a famous actor. It's his favourite subject in school and is quite skilled at acting if he does say so himself. He can do imitations of just about anyone, and can really put on a good show.

Emotinal

Komakai is a deep dude for someone so short. If he has to cry...he'll cry. If he wants to laugh he'll laugh. If he wants to punch someone in the face, he'll do it. He doesn't like hideing his emotions, seeing as how his profession is all about emoting. Some might make fun of him for this, but he doesn't care. Emotions are what makes Komakai...Komakai.

Scared

Komakai's biggest fear though...is being alone. He wants people to accept him. Not just girls but everyone. This creates a bit a self-esteem issue within him. Because he always asks himself. “Do they really like me?” It takes awhile for Komakai to be truely comfortable with a person.



StrengthsPassonite- Not just around girls. But in life in general. He always tries his best at what ever the world throws at him.

Funny- He's just the kinda guy you would want to hang out with. And if you ever have a frown on your face, he will always try to turn it upside down.

Acting- Komakai has worked hard over the years to become a better actor. So he's become pretty good at it, and is very entertaining to watch.

Flaws Perverted- Komakai has a thing for the female form. And sometimes might even try to peep on them.

Tries to hard- Komakai sometimes trys to hard to get people to accept him, which might intern push them away.

Health- Komakai doesn't eat very healthy. And doesn't really work out or anything like that, smoking of course doesn't help his general health either. But he really doesn't care, so he's not going to change anytime soon.

Drink? Nope, stuff takes awful. Plus he likes to remember his nights out.
Smoke?Ya, makes him look cool. Anime characters smoke all the time, and nothing bad happens to them, so Komakai should be fine.
Drive?Yes, a motorcyle...cause those are cool. Plus it was a lot cheaper to modify then a car.
Drugs? Nope. He's already high on life.
Partying?Depends on whose there. He'd much rather sit down and watch some anime.
Family Bara Akio- Daddy dearest himself. Bascially a larger Komakai, and their personalitys are almost identical. Although he's more of a fighter then a lover, other then Komakai. But still a man Komakai admires and loves with all his heart.

Bara Airi- Komakai's mother, who passed away three years ago. Komakai owes a lot to her, and will never forget her. But is determined to live his life in honor of his mother. Cause she really wouldn't want him moping around too long.

Bara Katsu- Unlike Komakai, Katsu is more athletic then actor. And tends to take things more seriosuly then his younger brother. But Katsu is still a nice guy and the two get along.

Fun fact. Komakai is the only dwarf in the family, everyone else is average height.

Residence His parents house. His brother moved out a couple years ago, and his parents often go away for work so he has the place to himself a lot. Which gets pretty lonely after awhile.

History Komakai was raised like a normal person. His parents never treated him any different from his brother. And he got real lucky and met some friends in public school that treated him normally. Of course there was bullies, but not as many as you might think. It's hard to beat up someone who makes you laugh, so as a defence mechanism Komakai always tried to make jokes. Which is when his constant need for laughter developed.

But when Komakai was thirteen something devastating happened to him. His mother died from a heart attack. Which is ironic because her death really attacked his heart. He just didn't know how to go on anymore, he almost failed his final year in elementary school because he didn't attend a good chunk of it. There was a note left to him by his mother, but he didn't want to read it. He was depressed as it is. His brother had moved on, and was determined to make the most of his life. And his father tried hard to get their life back in order. But Komakai was in a rut, and it was the one time a joke couldn't help him.

His brother was done putting up with such a mopy brother, and punched Komakai right in the face. Telling him to read that letter and move on with life. A punch to the face was what he needed it seems, and finnaly he slowly read the letter. Which also contained a ring.

“Dear Komakai,

Well it looks like I didn't make it. Sorry son. But don't let this discourage you. Beleive in yourself, beleive in the Komakai that I beleive in. Live your life for the both of us. My curtain has fallen, but yours hasn't even risen yet. Be the actor that I know you can be!”

Komakai almost laughed, it was such a over-dramatic letter to be sure. But it cheered him up emesly and made him move on with his life. From then on Komakai was back to his old self. Always wanting to make people laugh again, maybe even more then before. He would live on for his mother, and wear the ring on his finger with pride.

No big surprise

How many dwarfs do you know that are in Rps? Probably not many unless I made them. Also I guess a emotional funny pervert that always tries to be cool might be pretty unique.

Role Play Sample

Komakai generally tried to stay positive, and not try to get worked up over anything. But god damn how he hated his alarm clock. Every morning to wake up to that annoying buzzing sound; it was a miracle he hadn't gone insane yet. The dwarf slammed down on the clock to shut it up. That deed done he opened his eyes; once they were open it took all of his willpower to keep them open. Rolling off of his bed he yawned loudly and stretched. It took awhile for his brain to get fully functioning but eventually it told him that he was hungry. And so he hurried downstairs and cooked up some instant ramen. He wasn't a huge fan of the stuff, but it beats actually cooking a breakfast any day. Of course while he was eating he popped in an dvd of one of his favourite animes. A good anime always wakes up him. He finished a episode then ran back to his room.

In his room he looked around and wondered if he had time for video games. But he knew that if he started to play a video game, he wouldn't be able to set the controller down. So he used the rest of his willpower not to turn on a video game. And instead got dressed, and god damn did he hate getting dressed for school. The uniform was soo....uncool looking. It didn't have anything anime related on it or anything. Luckily his sunglasses made up for it, and he put his treasured sunglasses on his face, hiding his brown eyes. And last but not least, he put his most treasured ring on his finger and then proceed to walk outside. For some reason no one else was up and about, he figured they had already left. Komakai stepped outside and hopped on his black motorcycle. Revved it up and went to school. His thoughts more on girls then on the road he made it to school in record time. Only to notice that know one else was here...he checked his cell phone only to realize something terrible.

It was Saturday.

Curseing up a storm Komakai drove back home. “How uncool.”

[¡El Bandito!]

Well... first of all, you need to run the whole thing through spell-check. Second of all, commas don't bite! They're your friends, I promise. If you find yourself starting a sentence with a word like 'and', 'so', or 'because', it means that it probably shouldn't be a sentence on its own at all, and the period before it should be a comma.

Dwarfism doesn't really work that way... there's more to it than just being really short. length proportions tend to be distorted but width stays roughly the same in comparison; I think you might want to do a little more research if you want to do this type of character rather than just randomly throwing it in. How does the fact that he's so different affect his mentality and outlook on life? You don't really explain it at all aside from the fact that it's a superficial trait that sets him apart from everyone else without needing to actually do any character development around it.

I know it says that we'll consider lists for the personality section, but... to be honest I think you need to rewrite yours. Peoples' personalities aren't so easily sectioned off in real life; to make your character more realistic I think you should try to explain how these different traits interact and affect how he acts.

In the strengths and weaknesses section, we were looking for things more along the lines of single descriptive adjectives, internal personality traits rather than things like 'acting'. For example, 'health' wouldn't be a flaw, but something like 'reckless' would be. However, none of the things you really listed are actually drawbacks that would affect him in the story itself... As TVTropes puts it, "If [she] has any flaws intentionally written in by the creator, expect them to be informed or not really flaws to begin with. Bonus points if they're genuine flaws that would actually be pretty awesome were it not for their drawbacks (e.g. substance abuse, nymphomania, etc.), and of course the drawbacks will never be shown." Things like 'smoking' and 'eating unhealthy' aren't really the kind of flaws we're looking for because it's hard to see the drawbacks of these 'flaws' in this kind of RP set up.

Also, your explanation for 'funny', well... Let the other RPers decide that for themselves, hm? Show, don't tell. Rather than saying 'this is a guy people just want to hang out with' you should explain with the relevant personality traits as to why this is true. Of course, no one is universally liked and even the funniest person has a few people that don't really like them or their jokes.

You get one more chance to work out the kinks, though.

Just an aside:
The definition of irony is "Something that is the opposite of what you would expect from the situation." Him being torn up from his mother's death by a heart attack isn't ironic at all, it's pretty much the expected outcome.
