Face Claim: N/A (Random redhead)

Description:

As if colored by his own name, Hideki has hair the shade of a red rose. It reaches down to his shoulders when completely straightened. Though it seems naturally straight, his hair is incredibly unkempt and takes an hour to get it under control in the mornings. That's just to keep it straight mind you! And even after all this work, just getting frazzled or running too fast can mess up his locks again. It's a bit of a pain. Hideki has wide, almond shaped-eyes which look very much like his mothers. A hazel-brown in color, they seemed almost dulled during school hours and never light up. When at home there is more of a spark, but still, his reserved nature reflects in the sometimes-icy orbs.

His skin is smooth and as pale as milk. The paleness is from Hideki's preference for being inside after school rather than outside. While he is certainly not done growing, Hideki is still a little on the short side for his age. He stands at a humble 5 foot 6 inches, and is used to comments about his height. Again, on the small side, Hideki is only 122 pounds. For one who doesn't work out at all, this isn't a surprise, and he eats healthy enough as to not gain any excess weight. His sister jokes that all his fat is in his cheeks, which are still a little baby-fatty. His arms are more lanky then lean, though he does have very nice, slender legs for a boy. He also had been told he has "Hartman Hips"...whatever the heck that means.

With his messy hair, dull eyes, and skinny frame, did you think he'd have a masculine sense of style? Hideki prefers to wear his school uniform without the blue jacket, sometimes with the sweater-vest, but most time just the short-sleeved white button-up. Outside of school he tries to keep it comfy and affordable...which is still pretty damn expensive cause, hello, Ouran is for the wealthy! He likes designer hoodies and fitted caps, most of the time in blacks and dark blues and browns. Torn-up jeans (or, rather, jeans he cuts up himself for the heck of it) finish up the look, along with some convers or any sort of loafers. He hates socks, so he never wears socks.

Personality:

Hideki isn't exactly a ray of sunshine, to say the least. Most of the time he is cold and has a sort of pessimistic disposition. He tends not to smile or laugh so much, unless he's around his older siblings or his closest friends, albeit he doesn't have many of those yet. He is very protective of his big sister...so incredibly much that he's very suspicious of anyone who comes close to her. Considering the things that have happened in his past, it's understandable why he keeps an eye out for her and why he keeps his distance from strangers, classmates, and just about anyone who hasn't earned his trust.

One of Hideki's most distinguishing personality traits is by far his temper. Quick to enrage and slow to forgive, Hideki has a tough time making friends and even a tougher time keeping them. He can go from calm to irate in less a second, his mood swings giving him a bad reputation among students. Oddly enough, however, he is polite toward teachers and does his best to get good grades and keep out of any real trouble. The only person he doesn't ever go off on is, again, his elder siblings. His aunt also has earned a soft side from the redhead, though he does snap at her now and then. He holds a deep loathing for his father.

However, despite his temper and coldness, Hideki can be nice when you get to know him. And earn his trust. And don't mess with him too much. His little smiles are rare as Big Foot sightings, but not impossible, though as of late they seem to be showing up less and less. Poor little punk also blushes very easily when flustered, or whenever he's around girls that poke at his size or appearance. But when his brother is brought up, a side of Hideki never seen normally shows up. His personality becomes morose rather than testy and he stutters, making him look more like a girl. When this side shows up he becomes more open to people, and it's the most prominent sign that he utterly trusts you when he can bring up his past without trying to bite your hand off.

History:

For most of his life, Hideki has been a normal kid. His father, Takamaru Akabara, had been married twice before he met Hideki's mother, Aione, who had a set of twins from her first marriage, Yuu and Yuuto. They had both finished middle school when Hideki was born. He attended Ouran since he was in kindergarten, though he kept to himself a lot as a child, meaning he didn't have many friends. However, outside of school, things weren't so easy-going.

Family life wasn't the greatest in the Akabara household. It wasn't money that was the problem, since Takumaru was the CEO of a popular publishing company. The problem was love. Growing up, Hideki's parents spent a lot of their time falling in and out of love with each other. Everyday he would walk home after school with apprehension tying a knot in his chest. It grew larger and harder when his parents were happy with each other. That meant that soon there would be an explosion, and the longer the explosion was put, off the bigger it would be when it did blow up.

It was a monster that fed on Hideki's nerves and it was utterly tiering.

Well, almost. There still was a small sparkle of light that kept Hideki going everyday. Yuu and Yuuto took better care of him than their parents, and they kept him going when he was worn out from the family drama. More than once did Hideki try to run away from home from school, but Yuu would remind him that he would be nothing without her. It was kind of a blackmail-love. Sometimes Hideki would beg Yuuto to run away with him, but he would not abandon his sister.

Then things went from bad to worse when Yuuto started hearing things, around the time Hideki turned thirteen and the twins were both in college. Whether the ghosts or voices were real or not became irrelevant to Hideki. The fact was that Yuuto was distressed and he needed help. Eventually his suffering began to make him violent, and he lashed out at Yuu and at Hideki on a regular basis. Too much for Hideki to handle, he had to get help, but the only help he could think of was from his aunt, Inari, who his mother barley ever spoke about or to.

Now he regrets ever going to her with all of his heart. Inari came over to the house all of once, coming to see if Yuuto really was in such pain. The second she walked into the house and Takumaru saw her...it was all over. One could call it love at first sight. To the family, it was a disaster.

Hideki found himself not being able to go home, not even to Yuu. It was too much for him, having his mother and aunt suddenly fighting for his father's affections. He beat himself up over it. Feeling guilty for abandoning the twins in that home by themselves, hearing the fights and cries. Selfish. Coward. Hideki cut himself off from his siblings for months, until his third year of middle school.

Then one day he came home to no mother. She was gone. She'd grown sick of Takamaru and Inari's growing love for each other and had simply walked away. It was the last straw for Yuuto's fragile sanity. He tore apart the kitchen until they called the police, verbally abusing his father and new step-mother and actually shoving Yuu back into a glass table, which point Hideki found himself and ran away from the scene.

Once the sounds faded from downstairs, the youngest Akabara boy went downstairs to find nothing the same. Yuu was quiet, Takamaru wasn't speaking to anyone but Inari, and Yuuto was gone. Hideki knew they had admitted him to an asylum, and it would only be a matter of time before Takamaru pushed his name from the family for good. The family was broken beyond repair. And he knew that it was all his fault.

Sample RP:

It hadn't really been Hideki's intention to forcibly drag his older brother to his room tonight, but the circumstances were all pointing toward this as the only option. There were bruises on the little twin's arms, back, and neck, and he was acting much more jumpy and all-around depressing than usual. That made Hideki nervous. Nervous enough to push the boy onto his bed and slam and lock the door. It wasn't that he though Yuuto would run for it...

...though that is a possibility...

He was more concerned with somebody walking in and listening. Yuuto was being hurt by somebody, or himself. And the thought of anybody roughing up his brother killed off that calm and reserved outer-self of his and kicked him into 'angry brother mode'. The change was even visible in his eyes when he looked up at Yuuto, deep brown eyes glowing with worry and anger.

"It keeps you in and others out," the redhead said in a statement rather than an answer. He started toward the bed quickly, toward Yuuto, with a cool expression. "I'm sorry I had to force you to come here, but if you ran off...I get the sickest feeling you'd have even more of those," Hideki motioned toward the boys bruised hip, "The next time I saw you. I'm worried about you. Tell me what's really going on? I swear, these walls don't have as many ears as the kitchen does."

Both his hands latched onto the older man's shoulders, eyes piercing the dulled green below him. Hideki was not fooling around this time.

"Talk to me. What's going on?"

All right, here goes. I know Whammy mentioned some things on the cbox last night, so if I restate those I apologize. ^^

Type - this should be "canon" or "original". In this case, it would be "Original".

Appearance/Description - Paragraphs with spaces between them, please. Not a list with bullet-point paragraphs. I strongly dislike having to read huge blocks of text.

Personality - minimum 3 paragraphs is the requirement.

History - "Tristan" isn't a Japanese name. I'm assuming Hideki is of full Japanese descent, which means that his father should have a Japanese name as well. Who are Yuu and Yuuto? What exactly happened with Hideki's aunt and his father? You vaguely mention it, but it's quite unclear, so it needs to be stated clearly.

The asylum thing would probably be a damper on the company... The only way I could see it not being so was if you were to say Yuuto was Hideki's half-sibling, but that's just my suggestion.

You're also missing anything about any schooling or anything Hideki's had. You also don't mention if he's attending Ouran or not; he's 15, so he'd be a first-year like Haruhi and the twins.

The rest should be good. Good luck with your edits!

[hideki]

Woo, revisions. Hope I made some positive changes. Lemme know if there's anything else I need to fix. ^^

[Whammy]

Looks good to me.

ACCEPTED.
