Name : Uesugi Akira
Nick Name : Uesugi, Akira
Age : 19 years old
Occupation : College student, Shinto monk in-training
Appearance : 5'10", warm black hair, dark-cold-brown eyes, medium-fair complexion. Classic, very traditional Japanese look; almond eyes, thin nose and lips. Not in any sense fragile, but has no western bulk. His features are smooth and nobly streamlined.
By default prefers casual clothes in subdued, natural colors whether light or dark. Practical, function before form, when the occasion calls for it, he'll wear them. Wears monk clothes when on duty.

Personality : Uesugi is laid back, sometimes mischievous, and often do things of no purpose at all. Most of the time he doesn't really think seriously of anything, taking everything in stride. It takes a certain kind of pointlessness/ idleness to become a monk in training when you're a college student, afterall.
He is generally friendly and easily fall into comfortable conversation/ interaction with (most) people. Yet for more perceptive ones, it seems like he treads socializing as if walking in thin ice. Keeping himself carefully uncommitted by giving off the impression of this lazy, friendly, peculiar college student. Whether he's doing it on purpose –or even realizing it– or not is unclear.
Despite his obvious Shinto allegiance, at times you can find him quoting other religions' phrases (whether relevant or not), even acting like a walking confessional booth when needed (..or not). Will not betray other people's trust even at gunpoint, so confessing to him is actually pretty safe. Takes care not to judge other people's flaws, vices, or any other aspects as long they don't forcefully impose them on him.
History : Said to be a younger son of an unspecified trading family in Tokyo, he currently lives off an inheritance. Uesugi tries not to squander his funds before he's capable of holding a job (which he might never do, and become a monk instead).
He doesn't talk of his past often, or at all. It's apparent that he moved the Kusuburu to open a new book on his life. When not being a college student, he serves as a junior monk in-training in a Shinto shrine in quieter districts of Kusuburu; a distant relative of the current head monk of the shrine.
Additional :
• Born on July 17th, Cancer.
• Seke/ never really thought of preference. Bisexual.
• More a shrine helper than junior monk in-training, but he is allowed to learn the basic disciplines by the head monk. Usually can be found sweeping the courtyard or polishing/ cleaning the floors.
