🌪 Personality Summary

Ryota is loud, chaotic, and impossibly upbeat. He talks like he’s afraid silence might eat him alive, always cracking jokes or blurting strange thoughts with no filter. He’s cheeky to a fault—teasing people with affection, climbing on things he shouldn’t, and calling people nicknames two seconds after meeting them. He’s known by most as “that one guy who’s always around, probably dancing or laughing.”

But his joy is strategic. Underneath the glittery mask, Ryota is deeply lonely. He’s the friend that everyone invites to the party but no one really knows. His wildness isn’t performative—it’s protective. Being vulnerable makes him feel weak, and he’s never had someone who stuck around long enough to see him when the laughter stops.

When he does get angry or quiet? It’s terrifying and heartbreaking—like watching a storm hit a town that never gets rain.

:scroll: Backstory

Ryota grew up in a cramped, lively household—one of five siblings in a run-down apartment, with a single mom who worked double shifts. To keep everyone’s spirits up, he became the “sunshine.” He learned that making people laugh meant less fighting, less crying. It became a habit. Then a lifestyle. Then a shield.

As he got older, he carried that brightness with him into adulthood, where it made him popular, magnetic even. But the closeness always stopped at the surface. No one ever asked him what he needed—just expected him to be the clown. The friend. The vibe guy.

He doesn’t even know what it would look like to drop the act.

:performing_arts: Canon RP Quirks

These are things Ryota does consistently during RPs:

• Cheek Puffs when annoyed or thinking hard. Yes, like a hamster.

• Finger guns instead of waving or saying bye. Always accompanied by a “pew pew.”

• Climbing furniture when he’s bored or wants attention. You’ll find him on countertops, armrests, fences—he is chaos.

• Makes up nicknames for everyone—often dumb and food-related. (“You’re like…a Cinnamon Noodle.”)

• Steals people’s drinks/snacks without asking but offers bites of his in return.

• Can’t whisper. His version of whispering is “talking slightly closer to your face.”

• Bounces his knee constantly, and if he’s touching someone while doing it, they’ll feel the jitters too.

• Will fall asleep anywhere once overstimulated—curled on a couch, hugging a pillow, upside down on a beanbag.

• “If I were a bug” hypotheticals. He has at least 20 answers to what kind of bug he’d be depending on the mood.

🧠 Deeper Traits

• Touch-Starved AF. Constant shoulder bumps, leaning on people, hair tousling—it’s all unconscious. He craves but masks it in playfulness.

• Has a “sad playlist” he only listens to through wired headphones at 2am, laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling. No one knows it exists.

• Hyper-aware of other people’s moods. He’s great at reading tension and dissolving it—but never lets others see when he’s upset.

• Dreams of someone noticing when his laugh is fake.

⸻

🧥 Style

Colorful, lived-in streetwear with layered textures and clashing patterns. His fashion sense is “organized chaos”—ripped denim, oversized hoodies, neon socks, statement jewelry he never takes off. Glasses slightly crooked. Hair wild and wavy, like it hasn’t met a brush it respects.
