CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Shindou Sugata
Canon: Star Driver
Reference Link: series & character

Character History:

In the Shindou family, "Sugata" is the name given to men who are born with the emblem marking them as a Star Driver. At a young age, and on his birthday, Sugata is told about the emblem and all of the secrets behind a group of giant robots known as Cybodies. Of these Cybodies, Sugata's is the most powerful. As a result, he is not allowed to leave the island he lives on, and is given two bodyguards who also double as assassins that have been ordered to kill him if he tries to escape.

Another tradition in the Shindou family is that the men marry Shrine Maidens. Sugata ends up engaged to Agemaki Wako, the Southern Shrine Maiden, who is also a childhood friend and a Star Driver. Unable to leave the island herself, they grow up close and he is always looking out for her and trying to protect her until one day when Tsunashi Takuto shows up. The three bond quickly and easily even though it soon becomes apparent that both men are in love with Wako. Once Sugata realizes this, he starts rigorously training Takuto in both the sword and martial arts, so that he can be sure that Takuto will be able to protect Wako if anything should happen.

Following lots of flashy mecha battles between Takuto and an organization known as the Glittering Crux, Sugata takes it upon himself to stop the fighting and ends up joining the enemy under the pretense of switching sides to gain control and destroy the world. In reality, he is only acting the part so that he can seal his Cybody forever, thus sacrificing himself, and ensuring that Wako and Takuto will be safe. At the end, Takuto goes into space to save him.

Personality:

Sugata is the "cool" guy of the group. He's quiet, calm, and emotionally reserved for the most part—unless you try to hurt his friends that is, and then he will do everything in his power to stop you, even at the risk of his life. He also has a dry sense of humor and is pretty easy-going when it comes to things like his engagement, or doing silly stunts as part of the drama club. Behind his charming smile, though, lies a somewhat darker and more bitter side as a result of the life he was born into. But he hides this well, and at the end of the day, he has his friends best interests at heart and wants nothing more than to protect those that he loves.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Sugata is fine.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
It depends on what type of shoes I'm wearing. I can go without, if necessary, though.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Several hours.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Not really.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I'm not particularly interested in domesticating any wild animal, but if it were necessary to choose . . . perhaps something large and cute? Something that would make Wako smile.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
No. If I was, I wouldn't be able to protect those I care about.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
I wouldn't say I have a favorite since you can eat cake with a variety of things, and I'm willing to use whatever is available. A fork is the most common utensil I use, though.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Generally, yes.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Why would I do that? If I told you, I wouldn't be the only one that knows.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Yes. I can just imagine the fuss they'd kick up, too.
