General Appearance: Sharaku is more often than not described as a pretty boy. He has long ebony hair that he keeps in a fancy-looking ponytail using golden hoops, and golden hoop earrings that while many would say were feminine, seem to work for him. His skin is light, but tanned from time outside. His eyes are a shade of sapphire blue, and they sparkle with intelligence. Sharaku tends to wear black clothing, highlighted with yellows or blues to break up the solid color, though he doesn’t wear anything particularly fancy if it isn’t on his head. He often wears shirts with sleeves that go down just past his elbows, and cargo pants with straps that run down both sides. On his feet are a set of black hiking boots. He isn’t known for smiling, usually wearing a frown on his face until something amuses him. On the back of his left leg is a long white scar that runs horizontally not far above his ankle.

In cold weather, Sharaku tends to wear very similar clothing to warm weather, partially out of stubbornness, though he will wear warmer clothing if he intends to spend more time outside, such as when traveling. His clothes are usually still of a dark color. He owns a black cargo jacket for winter weather that when combined with his cargo pants mean he is rarely short on pockets to store things in.

Sharaku's body is toned and muscular from time spent training physically. He has to be in good shape to be able to get in close to enemies and touch them to absorb their magic, after all. He doesn't look especially buff when in his baggy shirt and pants, but it becomes more apparent if he takes his shirt off.

Sharaku has a somewhat deep voice, though it is of a pitch that only enhances the natural charm he has. It is nearly always serious, matching his general personality and appearance.

Personality: Sharaku is a serious young man. He doesn’t go out of his way to socialize, but he doesn’t go out of his way to keep to himself either. He seems neutral to having company most of the time, unless they are someone he considers a friend. He can actually be fairly friendly, though he isn’t what you could call affectionate. Touching isn’t really his thing, and that can be a bit of a problem when he sometimes has women he doesn’t even want clinging to him. Not that they seem to listen when they get that way.

For all of his ability to get along with the more superficial women without even trying, he isn’t so good at talking to the ones who see past his good looks. He can be nervous, and say things that accidentally hurt them, to which he usually apologizes profusely. He isn’t good at coping with emotional people either, which doesn’t always help his relationships. Still, he would be happy to call anyone who deserved it a friend.

Sharaku isn’t rude to people outright, but if he doesn’t know you, he probably has very little to say. He likes kids quite well, because he has an easier time around kids than women. Elderly are fine, and he’ll show them respect if he finds they deserve it.

Against true authority, Sharaku can hold his tongue and play the part of a good citizen, but in truth he hates the Magic Council as a whole. Individual members could worm their way into his heart, but the organization itself he sees as corrupt and violent, hiding under the guise of law and order.

Around his own guild, his general demeanor varies wildly. If they are someone he likes and trusts, he can be decently friendly. If they are the more thuggish types, he can be cold and standoffish. He is known for getting into fights with more unruly and ‘evil’ members in the guild.

In combat, Sharaku is cool and collected, using his intelligence to win rather than brute strength. He’s neither especially sneaky nor especially straightforward, using whatever seems like it will work well at the time.

Likes:
Corners: - Sharaku likes corners because when he sits in them, he as a good view of the surrounding area without being able to be snuck up upon, himself.
Justice: - Sharaku sees the world as an unjust place, and enjoys any time he is surprised by seeing true justice served.
Fruits: - Sharaku enjoys the sweet taste of fresh fruits. He’ll spend his hard-earned jewels on it before he would any kind of sweets.

Dislikes:
Open Spaces: - Sharaku dislikes open spaces for the same reason he likes Corner spaces. It’s easy to come up behind someone in the open, and you have to look more directions, making it tactically unsound.
Needless cruelty: - Cruelty for cruelty’s sake angers Sharaku more than anything. Whether from his own guild or any other source, he will stand up against sadistic fools who would harm others without good reason.
Drunkenness: - Sharaku doesn’t mind a drink now and then, but he finds drunk people, or the thought of dulling his mind and being drunk, highly offputting.

Motivations:
Revenge: -Sharaku’s father was killed a few years ago by the newly reestablished Magic Council. He wishes to find the one responsible for his father’s death, and exact revenge upon them. Unfortunately, he has no idea who it was, other than someone higher up.
Excitement: - He doesn’t seem like the most exciting guy, but he desires excitement in his life. Sharaku is a sucker for the promise of adventure.

Fears:
Losing loved ones: -Sharaku fears losing more of his loved ones. He doesn’t wish to see his mother or sister hurt, and as a result ran away from them before he joined Shadow Heart. He doesnt want to lose family or friends to death as long as he can help it.
dolls: - Not all dolls scare Sharaku, but the more life-like porcelain dolls certainly do. He is highly unsettled by any doll that tries to mimic life rather than look cute and plushy.

History:

[Guild & Magic]

Guild: Shadow Heart
Guild Tattoo: On his upper back in the middle, blood red.

Magic: Mimicry Magic
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Mimicry magic is a rare magic that allows the user to copy the spells of a touched ally or opponent. The user is able to gain full access to spells they are powerful enough to mimic, though the effect is temporary, and abilities that aren’t spells can’t be copied.
Strengths:Sharaku's greatest strength is the versatility his magic brings. With a single touch, he can absorb one or more spells, making him able to cast any spell the target could cast and his current magical ability can handle. Sharaku can borrow a wide variety of spells, including takeover forms, though due to the forms not being designed to him, they lower their power by one level, to a minimum of one. Lastly, while not truly a strength of his magic, Sharaku's dependence on touching opponents lends to giving him strong athletic abilities to augment his own powers.
Weaknesses: The most obvious weakness is that unless Sharaku has recently touched someone with the ability to cast spells, he is basically a normal, if rather in-shape, eighteen year-old boy, relying on any equipment or natural abilities he has available. The next most obvious is that he has to touch his target in order to absorb the spell or spells he intends to use, and if he can't, he's back to the first problem. Sharaku cannot copy unique abilities, such as a dragon slayer's 'Eat' ability, and he cannot absorb magic from holder items. Lastly, Sharaku can't copy spells that he is not yet powerful enough to use safely.
