User Name: Variscite
Name: Yuuta Shimizu
True Name: Tempest
Age: 18
Position: Fighter
Personality:Yuuta, sometimes called Yuu, is usually seen as the class clown, constantly fooling around and occasionally getting booted out of classes for his tomfoolery. Most people believe that since it is his last year, he feels he doesn't need to apply himself. This however, is not the case. Yuu is a completely different character on the inside then he lets show on the outside. On the inside, Yuuta is calm and collected and, for the most part, detached from the world, viewing things as if he is looking through a window.
Despite his slacking in class, Yuuta's grades are very good and it is promising that he will get into the university of his choice and almost any university along with that.
On occasion, Yuuta is prone to violent outbursts of almost any emotion if he feels he cannot contain it on the inside. It is difficult to see when this is coming and it ends almost as fast as it begins.
Few, however, ever see his true personality and judge him by what they see on first glance.

Bio: Yuuta was born to a middle class family on June 3rd and was the image of the average child. He was happy and inquisitive, ready to help whenever it was needed. This is the reason why he toddled around the family store as a child, familiarizing him with the people of his neighborhood.

His father had high hopes for his son, hoping that Yuuta would one day take on the family business. He figured Yuuta had the brains for it and could easily expand if he so desired. Besides, Yuuta appeared to be a social butterfly and got along with all the neighborhood children that were shoved at him.

When Yuuta hit age three, his younger sister, Kaida, was born, a sweet child who was just as social as Yuuta appeared to be. She became Yuuta's guiding light whenever he needed a helping hand, to be comforted or simply needed to talk. He protected her through grade school, keeping bullies away(not that they had many problems with them) and in turn, she kept Yuuta safe.

On Yuuta's 13th birthday, Kaida decided to take him to the movies with all the money she had saved up. An unfortunate accident ensued. On their way home from the movies, Yuuta offered to treat Kaida to a snow cone as she had spent all her money and she agreed heartily. Yuuta had his back turned to his sister and wasn't aware that she had seen a cat step in the way of an oncoming car. On her way to save the careless feline, Kaida was hit instead. She didn't survive the ride to the hospital.

Yuuta blames himself for the death of Kaida, telling himself he could have saved her if he had been watching her and, though his parents say different, he knows that they must think the same. A year after the accident, Yuuta went to live with his uncle in order to try and escape memories that haunt his nightmares and threaten to overcome him entirely...
