Player Name: Fae Contact: Plurk or DM Invited by: MYSELF Other Characters: August Villareal
Character Name: Jun'ichi (Jun'ichi Izumi here) Canon: OC Canon History: Born in the Fae Realm when his parents were lost there, a disguised Queen of Summer came to them and aided his mother in the delivery though not even she could grant him sight--and declared he would be her favored warlock when he reached adulthood. With that, she whisked the new family away to the village of Izumi-dani in the material plane where they would live in relative peace until Jun was sixteen years old. At that point, he left their hidden village to become, of all things, a courtesan. He was a smart boy and could have done anything, but he was also incurably lazy and a courtesan in the big city sounded like just his cup of tea.
Of course bandits happened and his patron had to swoop in to save him and give him his familiar, but he got there just fine in the end. That first year in the city was a whirlwind for Jun: he joined an organization working from the shadows to keep things running smoothly (that he later learned was basically the Summer Faerie Mafia), he made friends...and he had a son, thanks in part to his own foolishness as well as some machinations from his patrons that he would be unaware of until Tetsu was sixteen. Jun sent his son to be raised by his parents, moved to a city closer to the village, and continued his work for another decade.
When Tetsu was about eleven, Jun decided to leave the life of a courtesan behind and, at the request the Circle, he opened an arcana shop in a frontier town set to have something of a boom and has been running the Firelit Star since. At least until some Shenanigans occur (thanks, Your Majesty) and Jun finds himself working to stop some dracoliches from causing Problems. At thirty-five. What the hell.
Canon Personality: Jun is many things, but Jun will be the first to tell you he is an impulsive, selfish man who does things without thinking and generally without caring if other people will approve of his decisions. He doesn't bother to tell people things they may want to know (though if it's important he will share what he knows), preferring to keep his cards close to his chest in most cases. This has led to a few missteps, but he, like all trickster types, will just ignore those as time passes.
He'll also be the first to tell you that he's nothing special, despite many people telling him otherwise, though he is starting to work past this as it's hard to think you're nothing special when you're dating the Queen of Summer. And also responsible for saving the Fae. It's a work in progress, however, and Jun will always think his friends and family more spectacular than he himself is. This may be why he's always keen to buy them whatever they want if he can and shower them with affection and gifts. Shopping may be the one thing outside of work for his Queen that Jun will do without any prodding. He's talented, but he's also lazy. He's never had to try, after all, and he doesn't really see much of a point in starting now.
Unless the Queen requests it.
AU History: Born to a doctor and a professor in Osaka, Jun's early life is as close to his original version's as possible in a modern setting. The biggest differences are:
-no patron from birth -no son (yet) -host, not a courtesan -at sixteen, rather than bandits-and-his-patron-helping, Jun was very nearly killed by a mugger on a trip to Tokyo when he was eighteen and he was subsequently possessed by a kitsune, which is when Jun realized that the supernatural was real
He's now currently in Kaisou because a patron of his host club that he suspects to be an agent of his kitsune arranged to get him here for...some vaguely sketch reason. Jun suspects magical item smuggling.
AU Personality Differences: This Jun is a little less refined, both because he's ten years younger than his original self and also because he never really needed to cultivate that sort of refined air. He's also significantly more unsure about what he's actually good for aside from being pretty, since here he has no destiny to save the Fae Realm.
Element: Fire! Purchased Powers: Sense presence of others within 50 feet (General, 2 points) Resistance to heat up to 100F (38*C) (Fire, 1 point) Possession: Jun is possessed by a nine-tailed kitsune. His contract price is that it is impossible to hide his possession: anyone familiar with the supernatural will see nine little balls of fire called kitsunebi floating around him at all times, and both normies and supernaturals tend to just feel that something isn't Quite Natural about Jun and will generally distrust him at first go.
