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: Kiyama Hiroto
Canon: Inazuma Eleven
Reference Link: http://inazuma-eleven.wikia.com/wiki/Kiyama_Hiroto (ignore the "Go" parts as that's a later canon point, I'm taking Hiroto from Season 3)

Character History: Orphaned at a young age, as a child Hiroto was left in the care of the "Sungarden House", where he ended up developing a strong attachment to the owner, who he came to think of as a father.

Unfortunately for Hiroto, though, while his father did take a liking to him, his intentions were never noble. In fact, the Sungarden house was opened as part of the Aliea project: a program to push humans past their physical limits and turn them into the perfect soldiers. Or that was the intention-- but once the project was proposed to Japan's Prime Minister and he refused, since the PM was a big fan of soccer, he decided to get revenge on him by using the Aliea project to make the perfect soccer players instead.

The kids at Sungarden were forced into the program and eventually sorted in different teams depending on their abilities. Those teams went on to disguise themselves as aliens out to destroy the world and prove their superiority by challenging middle schools' soccer teams and destroying the schools if they lost or refused to play. As one of the most gifted, Hiroto (under the alien name of Gran) became captain of one of the three elite teams, Gaia-- which later on obtained the ULTIMATE TITLE of Genesis, standing at the very height of the Aliea project.

The fake!aliens were not without rivals however, and a team of brave soccer players stood up against them: Raimon. Lead by Endou Mamoru and coached by Hiroto's sister, while they failed at first they kept on becoming stronger and eventually took on Genesis. Like everyone ever, Hiroto ended up becoming attracted to Endou's strong will, and in the field they had an epic heart-to-heart match in which their ideals clashed. Genesis lost the match and Hiroto's father was pissed— but it's okay because in the end he was jesused when Hiroto risked his life to protect him from a soccer ball being kicked his way.

All's well what ends well, and after the alien parenthesis Hiroto became a regular in Japan's national soccer team, Inazuma Japan, and eventually wins the world tournament "football frontier international".

Personality:

Despite being an ex soccer super-villain, Hiroto is actually a kind, gentle person who is caring and mindful of others. He's understanding, supportive, and if he senses someone is facing some hardship he'll do everything he can to offer a hand. This isn't to say he's a pushover, however, as Hiroto has a very strong personality and is more than capable of responding in kind if someone's being a jerk to him. In fact, he actually tends to pass harsh judgment rather quickly on people who might be more than a little rough around the edges— often doubting them and their intentions easily. If proved wrong, however, he'll apologize easily.

Generally calm and with his head on his shoulders, Hiroto rarely loses his temper and tends to keep a collected attitude. This goes doubly if those around him seem particularly anxious— as he's the type to try and work on calming everyone else down, or try to lift their spirits up. Even when he himself is agitated, generally he will try to not show it and opt to act reassuring instead if he's in the presence of someone else. Something of a natural born leader, his charismatic persona makes it easy for people to follow him.

He's determined, strong willed, and he's not the type to go down without a fight. In fact, especially after joining Inazuma Japan under Endou's leadership, like his other teammates, he comes to embrace the "NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT! IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL THE END WHISTLE!" life philosophy. Hiroto is the sort of person who gives his all in everything he does, and especially for the people he loves, he's ready to go to just about any lengths. For his father who he loves greatly, he was ready to go through the Aliea project and destroy schools (although he drew the line at destroying people, which was indeed a order he received) despite knowing full well it was wrong. This suggests that even though Hiroto is unwilling to directly hurt people himself, he can and will set aside even his own ideals and morals to stand by the side of the people he cares for. At one time, he even rebukes his sister for abandoning his father's side despite being his real daughter.

Possibly because he grew up in an orphanage with people of all ages, Hiroto has a tendency to act as a big brother figure to those younger than him. He'll offer guidance, scold when necessary (but he's always pretty nice about it), and offer his support when it's needed.

Polite and respectful, overall Hiroto is a nice, friendly person that has a fairly easy time getting along with everyone.

Writing Sample:

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

Hiroto is fine. I don't mind people calling me by my first name.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?

Socks? I don't think a uniform should be without. It doesn't make for a nice image, but... humans sweat a lot during physical activity. Doing any without socks would make feet a little too smelly afterwards.

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

Thinking about it, I can't really say. I'm not someone who talks all the time, but even when I didn't have many friends, I had father's orders to rely. Being a captain means you have to give instructions.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?

I believe in all of my friends. No one in Inazuma Japan would ever do something to hurt me, and Father and Sister wouldn't either.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?

Wild animals...? To be honest, I've never given it much of a thought. I'm more interested in stars rather than animals. Maybe a comet?

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?

I don't like seeing other people in pain.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?

... uh. A spoon, maybe? Are we eating cake?

08. Do you trust yourself?

I believe in myself. If you won't believe in yourself first, people won't be able to do the same. That's why trusting your own abilities is important.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.

There isn't a crime I've committed that only I would know. During my time in Aliea Gakuen, I've had to do a lot of things I'm not proud of, as Genesis' captain. We've destroyed school, but it was on TV. Since I was going by "Gran" back then, though, I guess it counts.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?

If I disappeared tomorrow I'd make sure to come back as soon as possible. I wouldn't want to worry my teammates, family and friends.
