Clothes: Long-sleeved shirts, open tunics, pants. All of his clothing is loose, usually in plain, dark colors. He's always wearing some sort of mesh undershirt/pants. They're slightly visible by the wrists/ankles, where they extend past the sleeves of his usual clothes. He keeps his wings tucked out of view, under his clothes. --Shoes: Typically an odd-looking, open-toed boot. During the Winter he's finally grudgingly started wearing combat boots. --Flak jacket: 90% of the time you'll see him wearing a green flak jacket (see picture) --Forehead protector: If he's wearing the flak jacket, he's definitely wearing his forehead protector... albeit that may not be the best word for it. It's a metal plate with a leaf-shaped insignia, sewn into the sleeve of his left arm. --Jewelry: His ears are pierced - two plain, silver studs. --Other: He wears two pouches in easy view - the first is strapped to the side of his right leg, above the knee. The second is on his left hip.
Physical appearance: Black hair, narrow brown eyes. His skin tone and facial structure might have a slightly Asian look. He slouches, and typically has a bored expression, giving him a lazy look. If the situation turns serious, he carries himself much more at attention, back straight. --Hair style: His hair is coarse and spiky. He wears it in a high ponytail that manages to stick straight up making his head look like a pineapple. He has a jagged hairline. --Build: Lean, but toned. He's about 5' 8'', and 140 lbs. --Hands: His hands are rough and callused. Fingernails are trimmed, but not always clean. If you look closely, there's likely faint scars (years old) from weapons practice. He's trained ambidextrous. --Grooming/Hygiene: Typically well-groomed. If he's coming from training he might look dirty, but he cleans up once he gets back to his apartment. All the same, he's a teenage boy. He might throw on a shirt without washing it sometimes, if it doesn't smell.
Habits/Hobbies: He spends a lot of time in the forest, sometimes around the deer, so he might smell like it. When the weather is good, he also has a habit of sitting up on the rooftops/in the trees around the square, either to people watch or to look at the clouds. He eats lunch at the Seventh Heaven often, but he never goes to the bar or to the Battle Dome.
He often sits where the shadows are thickest, or at least nearby. If indoors, he likes to sit at the back of the room, and he will often be reading his journal. If he bothers to start a conversation there, he usually moves discussions off journals unless absolutely harmless, preferring to meet in-person.
Voice: Deepish for his age (he's 17). Uses slang and contractions, and often drawls his words. He speaks crisply when serious, however, sometimes sounding as if he's giving a military report.
Other facts: Lazy as he appears, he's a keen observer himself and hyper aware of his surroundings. He's also much more intelligent than he acts in a normal conversation.
He doesn't come from modern day Earth, though his world does have some of its technology (electricity, movies, etc). His family name - Nara - may be familiar however. Nara is a famous city in Japan, known for its free-roaming tame deer.
