Psychological Characteristics

Personality: Serizawa is a relaxed and easy-going person for the most part. He is amiable, socialable when needed and rarely speaks out in anger. His control over his temper usually seems like a positive quality for most but it's really a flaw. The truth is that Ichi bottles up his anger and is often lax in venting his frustrations. He is also very compliant, often to the point that he overexerts himself. It's not that he doesn't know his own limits. He merely tries to fulfill every task set before him. Stress is something he has problems dealing with. When things get tense, Serizawa gradually becomes more aware of the weight of his responsibilities. He will often feel as if the weight of the world is being placed upon his shoulders, causing him to feel depressed and increasingly hopeless. This is usually introverted depression and he will quickly disguise his malaise with a quick smile. The telltale sign of this state of his is the appearance of fatigue which is not something he has been able to hide with any degree of efficiency. When the pressure on Serizawa is relieved, he becomes quite cheerful and will be shortly found seeking a little solitude to ease his mind followed by a bed to recharge his batteries. He sleeps quite deep, making for bad mornings. He takes a couple hours to fully wake up, during which he is groggy and bearish. After he finally wakes up, he is ready to start the new day and tackle the mysteries of the universe with keen observations and relentless inquisitivity.

Likes: Rice balls, personal space, the color blue, ice cold drinks, slow-paced music, puzzles
Dislikes: Things that taste bitter, sour or spicy, high-pressure situations, people who frequently shout, high-pitched noises, waking up from a deep sleep
Goals: To become an acclaimed scientist


History: Born in YE 19 on Yamatai, Serizawa Ichi was the first born child of two Geshrin members of the Star Army of Yamatai. His father was an engineer and his mother was a ship operator. They met each other while serving aboard the same ship. It wasn't love at first sight but over time, they did grow close and, after their service on the same ship ended, they were married. Orders were requested for a transfer to a stationary post so the newlyweds were sent to Nataria where his father was assigned to serve in the Star Army Depot. Ichi's mother decided to retire altogether from the Star Army of Yamatai so that she could tend to the family they were building.

Within five years, the Serizawa household contained three children, Ichi being the oldest. He proved to be an intelligent child, excelling at the challenges and tests given to him during the course of his early schooling. He was found to be quite gifted in mathematics and physics, regularly outperforming his peers with ease though he lacked much aptitude for the arts or physical pursuits. By nature, he was curious and could often be found tinkering with gadgets, trying to see how they worked, and solving puzzles. He seemed to thrive on it.

As bright as his future may have been, as the oldest, his destiny had already been decided for him by his parents. He was to follow in their footsteps and enlist in the Star Army of Yamatai. He really wanted to become a scientist but his parents were quite insistant on this point, even after their divorce in YE 27. Being the obedient son he was, he complied with their wishes but not before managing to convince his parents to allow him to finish his scientific education before he enlisted. After complting his advanced education, Ichi enlisted in the military, figuring it would be a good opportunity to expand his knowledge outside of the lab. He was transferred from his original Geshrin body into a new Yamataian body and was sent off to begin his training. However, his basic training to become a soldier was a much larger challenge to surpass than he expected, even with his new body. He did succeed, in no part by brilliance but rather sheer stubborness. Next would be his first assignment and he could only guess what would follow after that.

His studies in quantum physics has allowed him to browse through the field of astronomy because of studies on black holes, cosmic rays and other physical phenomena that occur in the vastness of space.

Hey, J! Nice of you to finally join me! Now if we can only get the rest of the usual crowd in here. Too bad they're afraid of reading. XP

Now dealing with your character, I'm not one of the guys who approves stuff, but your character doesn't seem bad. In fact, like the majority of your characters, he's pretty well thought out.
