Ethnicity: Half-Japanese, half-American(British descent)
Attended School: Paragon
Age: 17
Weight: 160 pounds
Height: 5`11``
Appearance:
Body: Eric is tall and lean. At first sight, he may look a little weak and thin, but he's actually quite strong. The reason that he's skinny is because he has to watch his weight so that he could fight in his weight class in judo. If he had his way with his diet and exercise routine, he would be bigger and look more muscular.
When his arms are exposed, you can actually notice a little muscle there. His chest his quite nice, and you can see the six pack that he's been trying to develop.
Sadly, his legs aren't as muscular as the rest of his body. They're a little too skinny for his tastes. In other words, they're not the sort of legs that you would see on a marathon runner.
He has a small scar on his right arm where his mother's chihuahua bit him when he was four. Eric has horrible acne on his back, but he took care of that by going to a dermatologist. All that's left are a few scars that annoy him. Other than that, his skin is smooth and flawless.
Cosmetic: Although Eric make sure that every stand of hair on his head is in the right place, he's not that strict when it comes to the way he dresses. He likes to wear baggy clothes that are easy to move in. When his mother expects him to dress nicely, he'll put on a suit without starting an argument. He actually how he looks with a tie on.
Eric is also pretty strict about hygiene. He feels naked without deodorant or cologne on. His scent is what completes his appearance.
Eye color: Brown
Hair: Dark brown. It's reaches to the middle of his ears and is slightly messy in the back. He likes to use plenty of hair wax to mess it up even more and add a few spikes. Eric's bangs are quite long, so he often has to brush them to the side.
Often, his hair would flip out at the ends, annoying him to no end. He straightens it with a hair iron on special occasions, but is too lazy to do that everyday. Plus, it's pretty gay for a guy to use a hair straightener.
Habits: Smoking is his biggest habit. He has to have at least a couple of cigarettes a day to keep himself in a good mood. Drinking is also another big habit, but he only consumes alcohol during the weekends at parties.
Another habit of his is mixing up his Japanese and English. Sometimes he would be having a conversation in English with a friend, but ends up forgetting how to say a certain word. Instead of explaining what he wants to say, he will just use Japanese instead.
Eric also likes to touch his hair and look into the mirror. He constantly worries about the way he looks, so he needs to check out his appearance quite often. Sometimes he has the feeling that his hair isn't messy in the back, so he has to find a mirror and make sure that everything is OK.
Other Information
Personality: Eric is pretty vain and selfish. He's proud of how attractive, athletic, and talented he his. When he meets others who he believes are not as good as himself, he will pretty much look down on them. If he sees someone is stronger or more attractive, he will get pretty jealous.
He's competitive and can't stand losing against someone in anything. Although his lifestyle resembles that of an air headed jock, he's actually quite smart if he works hard. However, he's pretty lazy and believes that he should spend his high school days having fun before going to college.
If he meets someone he likes, he can act pretty charming. He's smart enough to know that being mean to everyone will cause him to have no friends. That's why he often makes sure that he has a few strong buddies to back him up when he's in trouble. Also, he's a sucker for the ladies. Eric likes to make sure that he has a pretty girl on his arm wherever he goes. However, he often gets bored so his crushes change frequently.
Hobbies: Smoking, drinking, and playing sports. He's a typical jock that likes to work out but take drugs. Partying is also another hobby of his.
When he's not doing the things above, he will often walk around school(if he actually shows up), picking of girls.
Extracurricular: Judo
Important Details
History: When the door to Satoshi Nakagawa's office opened, he thought he was seeing an angel. Sure, he met foreigners because he traveled around a lot, but he had never met one as beautiful as her.
The woman was an English conversation teacher named Alice Faber. As an American in Japan, it was common to face discrimination and bad treatment. That was what happened to her when she started teaching English in Tokyo. Her pay was low, and some of the Japanese employees were nasty to her. She thought about suing the company. However, she was poor and couldn't afford a lawyer. The best thing, she decided, was just to consult with Satoshi and hopefully borrow money from her parents.
Satoshi found it hard to concentrate on his job as Alice explained her situation. All he could think of was how beautiful her blue eyes were and how shiny her long, brown hair was. When their meeting was over, he did something daring: he asked her out on a date. Although he knew that this was wrong, he couldn't help it. Satoshi was sure that he was meeting his true love.
Before she could leave his sight forever, he asked her for his number and a chance to spend the night together. Lucky for him, she agreed, and that started a long romance.
Satoshi came from a very successful family, while Alice wasn't so lucky. It wasn't a surprise that both or their families disapproved of their dating. Satoshi's parents wanted him to go for a Japanese woman while Alice's parents wanted her to just leave Japan and come back home. Despite that, they married five months after meeting. It only took a few months for everyone to get used to the marriage, but there were still people who thought that the couple rushed things.
Eric's parents moved to the United States where Satoshi got an even better job at a Japanese snack company. Alice, who found her life improving, spent more time gambling and having fun with her friends. Eric was born and went under the care of a babysitter as soon as he left the hospital.
He never got to spend that much time with his parents. His father worked at the company and moved up in society while his mother changed from the cheerful English teacher to a lady who just had to have fun. Eric remained under the care of babysitters. They never stayed long due to his violent temper.
For years, he changed schools several times due to his violent attitude. That was until he enrolled in a Japanese school at the age of 10 and met Hosokawa Sensei, a judo instructor. The moment that Eric entered the school and started a fight with one of the students, Hosokawa Sensei came in and broke things up. Eric was forced to stay after school and clean out the judo uniform closet as the instructor taught the Judo club. That was how Eric discovered the sport.
It was the best way for him to calm himself and forget about the troubles at home. He concentrated more on his school life and favorite sport and was actually able to have a normal life at the school.
That ended when he was 16. Hosokawa Sensei, the one man he admired, turned out to be a drug dealer. Eric was shocked to find out that his favorite teacher sold drugs to the Japanese students for extra money. Why did everyone in his class know except him? Eric felt so frustrated that a man that taught him how to live a good life turned out to be bad.
The next day, a teacher complained about him not turning his homework on time, and Eric lost his temper. He caused a commotion in the school by punching the teacher. His parents were called, and since this was a school for Japanese people, the rules were strict. Eric was expelled and his father faced embarrassment at his company from the workers who also had students going to the same school.
Eric spent the next month going around and causing trouble on the streets. He began to take up smoking and drinking, and his parents couldn't think of how to deal with his behavior. There would be no point in sending him to another school since he'll end up getting expelled. They almost gave up until a friend of Alice's told the family about a school that specialized in dealing with delinquents like Eric.
Starting now, he will attend a new school. He doesn't make a deal about it since it's obvious that he won't be staying there for long.
Fighting Style: Eric's moves are influenced by judo and his strength. He relies on throwing people to the ground where he can then use a choke hold to make his opponent submit. Other than that, he punches, but rarely kicks. Eric finds kicking a little awkward and thinks that punching is more manly. He fights by instinct, rarely relying on his mind to make a move.
Sometimes, he'll watch people to get ideas for fighting techniques. Other than judo, most of his fighting tricks were learned by observing others and beating up students at his old school.
When he gets desperate, he'll push and shove. He might even take advantage of the spot between the legs which is the only time that he'll kick. At the start of a fight, he'll be fair. Depending on what happens next, he might use dirty tricks such as kicking between the legs just to win.
Strengths: Although Eric looks weak because of his lean body, he's quite strong thanks to almost six years of judo. Most opponents may find it hard to get a hold of him or pin him down since he slips out easily, just like soap. His best move to use in a fight is a pin. As soon as he gets an opponent to the ground, he can easily get on top or maybe put him in a choke hold to submit.
When thrown by another opponent, Eric can easily roll and get to his feet within seconds. However, that rarely happens since he's good at keeping his balance.
Weaknesses: Although Eric has good upper-body strength, he's not as fast as some of his opponents. He may be strong, but he rarely runs, meaning that he doesn't have much stamina. The most he could last in a fight is around 10 minutes, but after that, he'll get tired.
A big problem of his is the fact that he uses nothing other than punches, pins, and throws with the occasional dirty trick. He never relies on his other body parts such as his legs to execute a move.
He knows what to do if he's pinned to the ground or in a choke hold, but doesn't react as fast when punches or kicks come his way.
