Atsushi Nakajima | Bungo Stray Dogs

Character Name: Atsushi Nakajima
Age: 18
Employment in Deerington: Hart Mart as a cashier. Interested in community college, but needs a kick to actually apply.
Residence in Deerington: Lives with Usagi Tsukino and Makoto Kino in that Really Pink House.
Day to Day Activities: He died in October, so he will spend most of November being sick and useless. Atsushi is a people pleaser and lets other people dictate his daily activities. Sometimes he'll be focused on work around the house, others he will be delivering supplies to people or checking up on friends. If someone has a favor to ask, he'll drop everything to do it.

About This Character: Atsushi is a well meaning person, who is generally conflict avoidant and socially timid. He has a snarky streak, but will put a lid on it to pass in social situations. He's also a bit short tempered at times, prone to holding grudges (he's looking at you, Mother Superior,) and has an unhealthy hero complex. He's someone who can be tossed around and beaten, emotionally and physically, and will always rise up. Even if you take off his leg, stab him like a pin cushion, or destroy what very little self esteem he has left.

His 'Ability' is called Beast Beneath the Moonlight and it allows Atsushi to become part tiger and wreck shit. He can also generate from nearly any wound (he pops his severed leg back on at one point,) and has cat-like senses.
Any Warnings: Child Abuse/Neglect, both physical and psychological, as well as what might be PTSD (audio and visual hallucinations.) The orphanage he grew up in abused him horribly, including warnings like near drowning and electrocution. However, Atsushi and his prose rarely bring these up.

Present Life: Sooo death sucked. But he's really glad that it wasn't permanent. Atsushi is privately angry at himself for letting so many of his friends get hurt/killed and handling that self loathing really well. He's not. He feels like he needs to earn his revived life somehow. Looking for any way to make up for it. Also, trying to learn to bake a birthday cake for Makoto. He's been learning to rely on his friends more, but continues to screw that up too.

He still thinks that he turns into a tiger under the full moon. I've kept this misunderstanding going for five months and I'd like my sixth month card punch, please.

Lastly, Atsushi is in a depressing situation where he has now spent more time in Deerington than his new home of Yokohama. He isn't sure how to feel about some of his CR being closer to him than the people back 'home.' If he can even call Yokohama home anymore.
Future Ideas: I'd like for Atsushi to enroll at the community college! Horror-wise, I'd like to eventually have him open up about the orphanage and begin unpacking the burden of his past. I'd also like for him to lose his leg at some point.

CR You Want: FRIENDSHIP, LET'S GO. Mentors are also a plus. Atsushi benefits from having someone to praise him and give him direction. Also, a lot of his CR is girls. Which is fine, but also. Please. Male friends.
CR You Don't Want: Looks like he's taken for shipping, so yay.
