Ref Sheet
Personality

Eisuke is a genius engineer with a sharp tongue full of sarcasm and smart-assery. He's not one to show his emotions on his face or even his voice and it can be quite difficult to tell what he's thinking or feeling just by looking, though he's notoriously not open to expressing such things in other ways either. He tends to not even understand his own emotions and finds it hard to read others' as well, which can drive him to frustration. Though he struggles to communicate and get along with others, he is very loyal to those he holds close and values them deeply. Despite being very well-meaning, he can come across as a bit of an asocial jerk to others.

He's highly aware he's more intelligent than those around him, using 'idiot' as his go-to insult and getting annoyed when people don't understand concepts he finds super simple. Regardless of this, and though the people he knows would argue otherwise, he really doesn't have an ego and never claims to be better than anyone. Though he takes great pride in his intelligence and feats, as a person, he views himself quite lowly. Due to his lifelong difficulty with forming meaningful relationships, he almost does not feel human at all, and feels closer to the machines he creates if anything, a prime example being Charlie, his closest companion. He has been incredibly lonely and isolated his entire life for what he believes are his own shortcomings. Too used to being alone and rather socially stunted, even when presented opportunities in present day, it can be hard to connect with him. He unintentionally pushes people away and refuses to "show himself" to them, but after breaking through that difficult barrier, he's a very caring person who desires the positive well-being of everyone around him.

He has very strong morals that he follows to a T, even if they can be a bit questionable at times. He sticks to his guns even if he knows everyone or most people will be against him and is never afraid to speak his mind and tell it how it is. He's also an avid problem solver and strategist, known to approach things through a very logical lens for better or worse. For instance, technical problems are no issue to him, however, he can be quite difficult to lean on emotionally. He only knows how to offer support through logic and finding (often unhelpful) solutions.

Though he never reveals this side of himself to most, he's also quite nerdy, being very into gaming, collectibles, manga, and documentaries. He has a massive sweet tooth as well that he feels ashamed of, often indulging in cheesecake from his favorite cafe. Eisuke dislikes when people see through his 'stoic genius' "facade" as he feels that's what everyone expects him to be, and he fears he wouldn't be taken seriously as said genius if people knew otherwise. He's way more concerned about his image than he lets on, and can get quite defensive of it beyond his intentions.

Later in life (sequel), Eisuke has become very unstable and compulsive. He becomes rather miserable and loses control of himself as the life he wanted along with all his opportunities would fade away. He was born a prodigy who everyone around him believed would do amazing things someday, only to, in his mind, let everyone down. Despite still taking pride in his genius and talent, he views himself as a failure in this regard. And still, he keeps all his feelings bottled up inside even at the risk of bursting at the seams. He's only ever truly confided in Kohshiroh, but more often than not, it's a slip of the tongue around her. Despite his poor mental wellbeing, he is quite skilled at keeping his composure and making it seem as though nothing was ever wrong, but his friends are gradually learning not to fall for it.

Appearance

Eisuke is a pale, more androgynous looking white east asian male about 5'4/163cm in height. He has a rather frail body, quite skinny with no muscle. He has a longer torso and stubbier legs. He has not had any affirming surgery, but does bind. In part 2, his left hand (from your perspective) is very calloused, while his right is a grey metal prosthetic.

His face is very round and pretty youthful. His eyes are more downturned and hooded, his left pupil (from your perspective) being yellow/yellow-orange, and his right being a reddish purple color. He also has a longer looking nose and a more round lip shape.

His hair is a silver-blonde color with a reddish brown streak on the left side of his bangs. It reaches down to around his neck. It's mostly straight but a little wavy in some parts.

For his casual wear, he wears a long pale yellow sweater over a white button up shirt and a red tie. For bottoms, he wears black sweatpants and black sneakers with grey toes and soles, and yellow and white curved designs on the sides. For his "business attire" in part 2, he wears a long black coat with a thick yellow stripe around its center, and puffy sleeves with ridges down the arm. Underneath, he wears a white button up shirt with a red tie, the shirt being tucked into his pants. For bottoms, he wears black dress-like pants with cargo-like pockets. His boots go under the knee and are black with yellow soles. Sitting atop his head, he wears black goggles with yellow lenses and a yellow band.

Trivia
  • His favorite food is cheesecake, especially from his favorite cafe near home. To those aware of this information, it's a pretty effective bribe.
  • He is narcoleptic, and often falls asleep in any situation. He also has a weaker constitution, though he likes to act like he doesn't.
  • He first made Charlie when he was little, though of course he was barely functional back then. He has continued to work on him ever since. Nowadays, he is quite advanced with a plethora of features and intelligence.
  • He was born and raised in America and originally moved to Japan to attend the tech university his father went to before deciding to stay indefinitely. His parents warned against him going, but he was very adamant about it.
  • He has skipped many grades due to his intelligence and academic advancement which really took a toll on his social skills, not that they've ever been particularly great. He graduated university at 13 years old, receiving a bachelor degree in various fields of engineering. He is the only Insurgence character who has been able to pursue a college education.
  • His father was a former Botan Corp employee who fled to America because of his rogue clone.
  • He's really shy about it but he loves video games a lot, both playing them and the craft itself. Especially as a programming nerd he finds them very admirable. He fears this could ruin his erudite image and only shows this side of himself to Mitsuro and Takaji. Later, Kohshiroh. Though, most everyone is aware.
  • Aside from the genius stuff a lot of Eisuke's character is based on myself. He is also the first oc, out of the ones I still use, that I created.
  • Eisuke isn't very into music, but very surprisingly, he enjoys metal after Kohshiroh showed it to him. Though, he has to listen to it with the volume low which irritates Kohshiroh.
