IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.

Personality: Even ten years into the future, Shouichi is not much different from his younger self. Like he was at the age of fifteen, he is easily made nervous, though since his time with members of mafia families he is better able to control his uneasiness. Even though during his tenure as a member of the Millefiore Family he acted as a stern, unwavering captain of the Second Rosa Squad of the White Spell, his behavior was merely a cover for his secret cooperation with the rival Vongola Family. In order to save the world from Byakuran’s rule, Shouichi shows a sleeplessly dedicated side of himself. He wants nothing more than to keep the peace of the world in tact by destroying the evil from within. As such, he demonstrates an inherent skill with acting, convincing those around him of false loyalties that in truth lie elsewhere. When forced to drop the act or in any time of extreme distress, Shouichi has a tendency to falter; his stomach turns due to his nervousness.
Shouichi’s competence and interest in technology makes him a desirable prospect to any organization, and was one of many reasons as to how he got involved in the mafia at all. Though at first his desire as a teen to become a musician hindered his academics for a time, trips to the future revealed to him that he was to become an engineer instead. His temperament, particularly the part that dealt with his patient nature, fit with the long hours and years it would take to become such a skilled technician. His interest in robotics led to his meeting of a fellow mechanic, Spanner, who would be a valuable friend during his time with the Millefiore. In comparison to his friend, Shouichi can get much more excitable, particularly when a plan goes awry or he learns about events that could put his life, and the lives of his loved ones and comrades, in danger. Shoiuchi also displays a concern for children as an adult, particularly for the younger Lambo.
It was this concern that caused him to be a bit wary of the plans of the Vongola Decimo to have his Family switch places with their ten-year-younger counterparts. Doing so would put the lives of children on the line, and it was with much convincing and trust of Decimo’s plan that Shouichi agreed. While his main goal was protecting the world —and all its parallel counterparts—seeing lives lost or in danger creates a sense of guilt on his part. It makes him question whether or not his methods or plans are altruistic, or if in actuality his desire to save the world is a sort of selfish hero complex that would ignore the safety of others.
Shouichi values honesty and is insistent on his own, even when it would seem right to question the validity of what often times seems like an unfathomable lie from him. When given the chance, he is very open about his views but is also careful to not insult anyone—though that may be habit developed due to general caution with mafia matters. Despite all his dealings with members of the mob, the supernatural and time travel, Shouichi just wants to live a normal life. Such a life would fit him much better, due to his awkwardness and ineptitude in new environments.
Abilites: Like most mafiosi in the Reborn! universe, Shouichi is capable of harnessing what are called Dying Will Flames. These flames, born out of extreme resolution, come in seven categories known at this canon point. Shouichi holds a flame that is of the Sun Flame, which his is able to ignite with a Ring. At first he believed it was a Mare Ring, a part of the Tri-ni-set class of Rings. However, he learns later that even with its great power it, is not a true Mare Ring. While in possession of this fake Sun Mare Ring, he used it to power Merone Base, the headquarters for the Japanese division of the Millefiore Family. Without a Ring he is virtually powerless, barely physically capable of keeping up in a fist fight. While not demonstrated at this point in his canon, Shouichi also holds the ability to heal with the Sun
Flames due to its Activation attribute.
Other: He is basically blind without his glasses. Also has a tendency to sleep while in the middle of doing things, even changing his clothing.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ Whoever has the webcam stream turned on at the moment will witness a very panicky Shouichi flailing about and mumbling to himself. It takes him a bit of time to notice that he finally got the stream working. ]
Ah--
[ He pushes his glasses upward, composing himself so as to not look too frazzled to the rest of Holly Heights. ]
H-hello, everyone. So it seems that while I was asleep last night, my car seems to have disappeared... no, I don't mean to accuse anyone! Maybe I forgot to set the brake in place, and that wouldn't surprise me, but its absence from my driveway still causes some concern.
[ Really, though, he has a hard time trusting anyone after what happened directly prior to his move to the community. ]
If you know anything, please contact me right away. I want to know what happened to it before too long. Thank you all for your time.
[ A small bow of his head, and he turns his camera off before quietly worrying to himself again. ]
Third Person:
The papers in his hand seemed to have more weight than was natural for such a small number of items. Really, Shouichi was still letting the whole situation sink in. The last thing he could recall before waking up in that chair on that lawn was laying on cold concrete, bloodied and injured. Yet here he was, standing at a door-- the door to his new home, apparently-- completely fine and without a scratch on him. It was amazing, and it was frightening.
Not that he minded a change. The battlefield was indeed the last place he wanted to be. There was a thought prodding forcefully at the back of his mind, though, that told him this place was too normal. From his greeting the landlord seemed nice. That was surely a given; it would take an extremely kind person to just give up a house like this. And Shouichi knew his wasn't the only one. One look down the street and virtual clones of his property fanned out to his right and left. He shakes his head to clear it, trying to not think too much of it. He had read too many science-fiction stories about utopias and dystopias constructed just like this.
Considering the alternatives he had seen in the past, maybe even a dystopia would be paradise. Whether this place was one or the other was up to him to find out. Taking a breath, he inserts the key into the lock and turns. Hands both firmly on the handle, Shouichi whispers to no one in particular, "I've got nothing to lose here, do I?" and pushes the door open.
