Please tell me about your OC because I had to ramble about mine. Also can he and Aka be friends please? 👉🏻👈🏻🥺 ~🌹rose anon

alright then, heeere we gooo! under the cut, i'm a littke embarrassed.. and of course they can be friends <3

so... man how do i go about this this is a little embarrassing hmmng,, well.. i've drawn him before, so here's both versions,, the second one is a lite sloppy and i forgot the pendant thingy but,, pretend it's there okay?@?@? also, i'm really having trouble with tying him into the story help,,

TW // spiders

his name is noriaki kobayashi,, just nori for short. he was supposed to enroll in the idol course, but his voice was found too weak to give stable performances, and he had no partners to help him over the hurdle. bitterly, he joined the production course. if he can't be an idol, then he'll just help idols from backstage, right?

he lives with his grandma, as his parents are pretty busy all the time—they have to work hard to fund his dreams. nori is the father of two cats, a spider and takes care of his grandma's canaries as well. he's really fond of animals. (he thinks penguins are the best. sadly he can't have one)

nori has a positive outlook on pretty much everything. if things don't go his way, then he'll make another way. he is extremely energetic and full of life, and when it gets tough, nori just gets more energy. he's always grinning or laughing, he just has no neutral face. oftentimes, he won't settle with just having something, he wants the best he can get. his hands always have to be working on something, otherwise he feels useless. the feeling of accomplishment is great, isn't it? he loves helping people out and seeing the look of pride or accomplishment on their faces.

nori is.. not the brightest tool in the shed. he wants to know everything there is to know and uncover every secret around yumenosaki—he has years worth of information on his cellphone. nori is kind of a ticking bomb, naturally, people are pretty wary of him, so he doesn't really have any friends. it makes him feel a little discouraged when he has to occupy a table by himself, but he just brushes it off at the end of the day. BUT he'll sit with aka sometimes if it doesn't bother her <3

that energy of his makes him pretty unpredictable, his emotions tend to control him more. it leaves him pretty short-tempered. a lot of things he does are out of spite or out of revenge. he gets jealous of other people's success very easily and tries to outshine them, often leading to fatigue. oh, you said that the violin is too hard for him in middle school? well, damn you, nori learned it in two months. he can't dance? well, he just learned to tango, wanna watch? he's prone to hiding sad feelings, burying them deep. grudges. lots of grudges.

he has a few things to flaunt! you see, he's actually pretty good at the violin. and nori is so flexible, he can sling his leg over the back of his neck while standing, and then go back like that just didn't happen. nobody can beat him in games about knowledge and memory.

nori can absolutely not handle the season changes. he gets sick everytime for a few days, especially during warmer changes. and despite his flexibility and unlimited energy he is extremely bad at sports. he runs half a lap on the field and then drops dead. speed-walking has him gasping for air. he's so bad that the teachers have mercy on him and let him do some essays on sports to better his grade.

his interests consist of mostly gothic things, like fashion or literature. he finds them beautiful. even though he gets startled easily he binges horror movies—the super old ones, like nosferatu or photographing a ghost—he has the cassettes for them, with a device to play them of course. he also has a gothic antique chair that he likes to flex everytime he gets the chance. literally just a chair

the dresscode? nori does not care. nori wears what nori wants. only when reprimanded does he wear the school uniform. it has him sulking and complaining for the entire week.
