Physical Characteristics - Humanoid

Height: 5 feet 4 inches
Weight: 101 lbs
Physique: Athletic, slender and toned, not overly muscular, and sports a nicely shaped torso and midsection. And because of his lighter build, he is able to reach greater speeds than most.
He is also quite flexible and with his small stature, hiding in tight spots isn’t a problem.
Face Type: Handsome, chiselled bone structure.
Complexion: A pale, soft ash colour.
Eye Colour: The irises are composed of a light, eerie green; a closer look revealing crystalline features.
Eye Sight: His vision is perfect, typical of his species, and very clear and accurate.
Hair Colour: The colour is somewhere in between a very dark brown, to black.
Hair Style: Of the length of his back, his thick, straight hair is styled to be sleek and ostentatious while remaining inhibited from encroaching over his face.
Distinguishing Features: His body is littered with scars, the largest being that of a fatal wound across his lower abdomen.
Demeanour: Cold, serious, and calm, but sometimes hostile. Seppuku is often so detached from the world that he can slip in and out of places unnoticed.
Clothing Style: An inconspicuous combination of functional outfits. His general attire features light colours often plain and lacking any kind of recognisable insignia.
Voice: His voice is deep and alluring, with a slight rasp to add contrast to the soft, elegant manner in which he normally speaks. Seppuku speaks the common language most often, but despite much practice, does so with heavy sibilant accents that grows ever stronger when he is angered or aroused.

Personality Aspects

Seppuku is elusive and reserved, and content with being left to his own devices. He detests being provoked by others, but is patient and only resorts to aggression when he becomes very annoyed. Nevertheless, he does harbour resentment for anyone whom disturbs his peace and expresses this hostility openly.
He is also a sadistic man, perhaps even a little perverted, though not as openly, he prefers to conduct experiments, tortures and the like in a private setting.
Seppuku prefers to work alone on most projects and dislikes sharing his knowledge with others. He expects them to learn on their own accord, believing that this experience would teach them well in their futures.
Seppuku is actually quite a calm and quiet person, never noisy or deliberately outspoken, and he has excellent manners. Perhaps he is someone easy to talk to and gain advice from should he choose to give it.
More factual than speculative, he prefers to take an observant, patient and logical approach to life and does not rely on ‘gut instinct’ so much. Although that is not to say that he ignores his instincts entirely. Seppuku can at times, be quite passionate and emotional.
He relies heavily on first impressions, on his own feelings, on his sympathies, rather than on facts, on the advice and opinions on others. He seems to have a kind of sixth sense in this way, knowing whether or not a person is respectable enough within few minutes of knowing them.
He doesn’t like disrespect towards him or anyone for that matter. Seppuku will often hold grudges that will see to the end of time before his opinion is altered.
Seppuku is often determined to see things through to the bitter end, detesting being left in the air. He makes his decisions quickly and firmly.
He can be a treacherous creature who delights in intrigue and whom wouldn't think twice about double-crossing someone in order to save his own skin. His calculating nature will never forgive or forget a slight. He can be lazy and self-indulgent with an innate elegance that can at times be ostentatious.
Irresistible as he may seem, Seppuku never wastes time in idle gossip. He thinks often and deeply. He is an intellectual, a philosopher, a cerebral person, endowed with wisdom and with deep philosophical understanding. He is a born thinker whom excels in finding solutions to complex problems.
In matters of the heart, he is romantic and charming with a sense of humour. However, he'll be jealous and possessive - even if he no longer loves her. Rejection is the worst blow his delicate ego can suffer. Seppuku must be received, welcomed, accepted and approved by those with whom he comes in contact. Suffice it to say, he is careful but generous with friends and family.

Greatest Flaw: The fatal flaw in his character is, in fact, a tendency to exaggerate - in helping friends as with everything else. If he does somebody a favour, he becomes possessive towards them in an odd way.

Best Quality: The most remarkable quality in his character is his keen insight and shrewdness. His intelligence, wisdom and deep philosophical understanding are made all the more outstanding by his ability to be subtle, tactful and cautious.

Known Interests: There are many things in which he enjoys partaking in, but regularly adjusts his collection of preferences in correlation to his mood. However, the more concrete of preferences are centred on acquiring more knowledge.
In addition to this, Seppuku enjoys reading, writing, listening to music of many kinds, conducting experiments (primarily on people), being alone, collecting objects (such as anything he can get his hands on), the wilderness, hunting, tracking, honing his skills, exercising, problem solving, eating.

Known Dislikes: Once more, Seppuku's tastes are determined by his present temperament, but he can generally be seen to react negatively toward more bold and influential matters and behaviours. Those who are brash, hot-headed and pig-ignorant are those who he would prefer to have nothing to do with, but Seppuku is quite simply not fond of people whatsoever.
People are insolent and rude, often lazy, insensitive, ignorant and mistakenly confident. Individuals are insufferable in their own ways, but Seppuku is never more nervous when in crowds. Sometimes disappearing into the masses has its uses, but more often than not he feels suffocated.
Also, being around unhygienic, impure people and things makes him uneasy. Seppuku finds infidelity to be a sin and cannot harbour any good feelings toward those who are boastful about their crimes.


Spiritual Views

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral. A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty, but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behaviour is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

Chosen Deity: Siku. A natural choice for any Dhani, but also a personal one. Seppuku recognises their similarities and acknowledges her wisdom, even if he does not fully comprehend the Goddess. Although he is not a sworn cleric or warrior for her cause, he does nonetheless appreciate and worship his Goddess with sacrifices, offerings and prayers.
