Character Name: Kokuto Mikiya Canon: Kara no Kyoukai Reference picture and Wiki link:Reference Pic. Wiki! Point in the time-line taken: Chapter 6/movie 6 Character History: Mikiya is your average guy living a normal life in your average city in Japan. He falls in love with Ryougi Shiki and drove Shiki into wanting to kill him because he cared and accepted her. He didn't die but Shiki fell into a coma due to events following the attempted murder. Losing his motivation to further his studies, Mikiya dropped out of college to go in search of this puppet maker and magus named Aozaki Touko. He managed to find her office in an abandoned building, despite the barrier set up to keep it hidden from the outside world. Touko recognized his talent for investigative work and hired him.
Two years later, Shiki woke up and she ended up working with Touko as well. So life is good now. He's Touko's personal assistant and detective when they have jobs of the paranormal variety. He doesn't have to encounter danger in the front lines because that's Shiki's forte. And he gets to talk to and take care of Shiki on a daily basis. Who cares if his life is in danger every once in a while.
Canon Personality: Mikiya thinks for others, with an almost complete disregard for himself. He is aware of his limits but he also tends to underestimate the gravity of the situation. He's a nice and polite guy who just wants to help. He says hypocritical things (like telling people to continue their studies despite being a drop-out himself) but it is always for what he thinks is for the person's own good. He accepts people for who they are, is patient and genuinely cares, regardless of what they have done and how scared shitless he was by it. He enjoys the little things and is easily satisfied.
He is oblivious to feelings and concerns that others may have for him if it's not stated. He just doesn't rank himself very high on his list of priorities.
Blank Personality: Mikiya won't act much different from he was before. Most of his personality isn't affected by any major memory. His concern for others over himself and his maturity was evident in him even as a child. He is just a natural nice guy. His ability to accept things as it is and file them aside if there are no readily available answers can be seen in canon. Despite traumatic experiences, he still falls back on this core personality.
His life is built on an innate urge to help and support others. If anything, it could be the extreme experiences in Sabra that ends up changing him. As it is, he is basically the same as before, minus memories of moral grounds and societal norms for him to stand on.
Writing Sample: He blinked at the blurry ceiling and started to grope around the bed. He found a pair of black-rimmed glasses next to his pillow and automatically put it on. The ceiling came into focus but he gradually realized his mind wasn't. In fact, there was nothing to focus on.
He sat up to take a better look of the room he's in. It was unfamiliar. He soon noticed the two items lying next to him on the bed. One that looked like it would fit on his arm and a telescope-like object. He selected the bronze telescope and looked into it.
The sudden image and voice surprised him. There was a grainy image of a young man in there. The image was smiling pleasantly back at him. "I'm doing this for -----. I do this willingly." He continued looking, wondering if there was more. The recording repeated with the same word censored.
He put the telescope aside to remove his glasses and examine it. Then he checked out the recording again. It looked to be the same pair. He looked down at himself, then patted his hair, tugged at it, looked at it, and tried to compare everything to the other person. The color of his clothes was obviously different but the glasses and hair looked/felt the same. He wondered if this was him and if so why couldn't he remember recording it. The message felt important though, so he held on to it.
He got up to examine the rest of the room, hoping maybe that he'll find more clues to his presence here.
