Character name: Usui Shusei
Series: Betrayal Knows My Name (Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru)Age: 17
Canon: When you have mysterious powers, trouble often seeks you out, and Sakurai Yuki has always had the ability to read other people's emotions and feelings with just a touch. One day, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of an ancient battle where he meets others with powers like him; the Zweilt Guardians who are part of the Giou family. He gains a brother in Takashirou Giou, friends among the Zweilts, and tries to figure out the truth about who he really is, all the while fighting alongside them in their battle against the demons who reside inside people's darkest desires: the Duras.
As a Zweilt guardian, Usui Shusei bears the power of Kami no Me (God's Eyes), a clairvoyance which grants him the power to "see through all" as long as it exists in this world. Outwardly, Shusei is calm, a tad cynical and blunt and doesn't talk much about himself, though he is generally nice towards the people around him. He puts up a wall of indifference, polite smiles and deadpan faces, and very rarely lets it crack. While inside he's far from as emotionless as he presents himself to be, he's still an expert at keeping a serious face. Despite this, he is loyal and would rather die than sell out his comrades, but can be stubborn to a fault. Shusei lacks self worth, which sometimes gets the better of him as when he skips meals, and claims he has no appetite.Sample:Excuse me. I’d like to have a word, and you look a little less dead on your feet than the others. I received an invitation to a summer camp wedding, but this looks more like a corpse party in fancy clothing. I’d also like to know why I was forced into a suit for a wedding reception. For whom I don’t know, though that’s not the issue. I would think I’d been kidnapped, but considering the general populace in this place seem near collapse, I can’t be sure. In addition to that, the premises are not really suitable for any kind of celebration whatsoever.
Well of course, the decorations are very nice and all, but there’s hardly a need for my opinion on them. In fact, I have no reason to be here when I’ve never met the happy couple before. There must have been a mistake somewhere. Moreover, I don’t know anyone called Marcy, though I’m sure she’s very lovely. Yes, my name is Usui Shusei, but I don’t understand why it’s on your guest list. "Ghrooooom . . . ?" Oh, so you are the groom. Congratulations on your big day, but I really must be going. I don't see how this is surprising, but most people don't take well to being held against their will. Or getting their underwear stolen. Kindly remove your hands from my clothes, please. You have no need for them. Honestly, this would be so much easier if you weren't so persistent. All right, then. I'll greet her, if that's what it takes for me to be let out.
Hello . . . ah, I'm afraid no one told me about your state of appearance, miss. Well. A squid can marry if she wants to, of course, it’s not my business to interfere with that. No, as a high school student I'm obviously not qualified to officiate a wedding. Frankly, I can't keep up with your brand of logic, it's really tiring me out. Fine, but just this line: "You may now kiss the squid." . . . perhaps you should put your partner down before something unfortunate happens, he doesn’t look too well. It's nice that you care so much about him, but if you hug him that tightly—
My condolences on your groom, however I'm sure you and your friends can put him back together just fine. Fortunately, I must decline that offer. I cannot be a replacement, and I’m not interested in marriage at all. My apologies, but I’m a terrible catch. And I meant that both literally and figuratively, so don't think about trying to pick me up. Thank you. Tentacle sex? No. A radioactive lake of my own? I’m touched,
emotionally, mind you, but no. Neither am I curious about what the swamp looks like from below the surface. The state of it can be seen perfectly from here. Plus, humans cannot breathe underwater, another reason we aren't compatible. A "fabulous dinner" will not sway me as I'm not hungry, and "eat a goddamn sandwich" definitely isn't going to make me reconsider. And no, I won’t be the bride either.
