IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Yuuri Shibuya
Age: 16
Canon: Kyo Kara Maoh!
Canon Point: End of season 2
Species: Half-human, half-Mazoku ("demon")
Gender: Male
Orientation: "Uh...?"; Yuuri shows an interest in women like most teenage boys do. However, he accidentally proposed to a man (Wolfram von Bielefelt) and his relationship involving romance and men has been... complicated. Yuuri doesn't typically acknowledge things like romance and orientation, setting it aside and procrastinating. As he grows and matures, he will have to face it; and all signs point to him being more attracted to boys than to girls.

History: KKM Wiki
Appearance: In the foreground, Yuuri has black hair and black eyes (which are remarkable looks in the Demon Kingdom despite being very normal in Japan)
Personality: A pacifist at heart, Yuuri is a fairly kind and friendly individual. He is fairly observant to other people's feelings, and notices when people are expressing some sort of concern or other upset feeling. Even so, before becoming the Maoh, he did not reach out and make friends with other people. He is a bit self-conscious and he tends to keep to himself, acting a bit uneasy around people he doesn't understand (particularly those he can't ever understand, which is his stated reason for really disliking dolphins). Even still, he goes out of his way to please people many times, and believes earnestly that everyone can live a peaceful life in harmony with one another. When he became the Maoh, this became his goal as the country's king.

Though he is kind and gentle, he has a very strong set of morals and sense of justice. Though he doesn't like to get into fights, he will risk himself and get involved when he thinks it's right to do so: he interrupted muggers harassing a classmate and he punched his baseball coach for harassing on a single teammate for the team's failure. This behavior carried over into his position as Maoh, where Yuuri proved the extent of his drive for what he believed to be morally right over and over by putting himself in the riskier position to come to a peaceful conclusion. He holds others to his moral code just as much as he holds himself, and will scold people who hurt or take advantage of others.

That said, Yuuri is always saving violence as the last resort. He will go to talk to people before anything else, especially in very serious situations. He doesn't like to harm other people physically or emotionally, and he strives to make everyone willing and happy to work together peacefully. He's so sensitive to the pain of others that he often reacts very angrily and suddenly to protect them or act in justice for them, often going overboard. Though he will threaten to take someone's life as he scares the living daylights out of them, he nearly never deals a death blow, simply punishing them in a manner that ensures that they are apprehended. Because these overreactions are associated with a large surge of magic power, he doesn't always recall these outbursts any more; the closest he got before he unlocked his magic power was punching a coach in the face.

Yuuri in general is driven very strongly by his emotions rather than his ability to think or reason. He's not stupid, but he's certainly dense sometimes. He has a hard time grasping complex aristocratic social norms (or most norms not his own, as a usual Japanese high school student) and many insinuations fly right over his head if he's given no other hints to the intended meaning. He denies a lot of complicated issues such as marriage, love, and other personal things if he can. For example, he often deliberately avoids any commitment towards his accidental engagement to Wolfram von Bielefelt. This is not out of any denial of Wolfram specifically, because he never seriously considers anyone else romantically (despite Wolfram's accusations), but because he doesn't consider himself ready for responsibility like that. He has a difficult time accepting adulthood, and the responsibilities associated with it, namely because he considers the weight of his decisions very heavily.

Abilities: As the Demon King, Yuuri is a source of great magical power. He can use, control, and command elements such as water or earth. He also can apply his energy to heal people by pleading for them to fight to live, giving them the energy to bring themselves back from the brink.
Other: He thinks "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a romantic song, he really loves baseball, and he has an adopted daughter Lady Likely-Not-Appearing-In-This-Game named Greta.

SAMPLES
First Person: Musebox threading with Wolfram!

Third Person: Despite hearing Wolfram accuse him of cheating on a regular basis, Yuuri was enjoying in his own way the very calm, normal life that this strange world's neighborhood had and the many different people he got to meet and talk to. He missed being Maoh, and he missed his friends and family in Japan and in the Demon Kingdom, but he hadn't yet shaken the idea that he'd go back eventually. It made him want to reach out a little more, just a bit, feeling a kindred spirit in some of the other residents that got dragged unwittingly into this mess, even if he felt awkward for hardly knowing anybody. At least Wolfram was there too. It'd make it easier for the two of them to wait patiently to leave.

Yuuri wasn't pondering much when he was heading home, thinking about what baseball games he might be able to catch on television. It wasn't until he arrived at the house that he saw smoke wafting out of the kitchen window. He rushed in, and luckily Wolfram managed to figure out the fire extinguisher.

After a while, Yuuri dejectedly tried to scrub the burns off of the stove top, worried about angering the lessor. Would the lessor be angry? How much did it cost to repair a burned stove? After a while, he sighed, giving up. The night would waste away and he'd never get that burn mark off the stove top, he had no idea how to do anything like that.

He just sighed and wrote a letter for the lessor. If the lessor hadn't already shown up yet? An apology for the stove top, and a promise that he'll try and pay it and get it repaired as soon as possible. He didn't think he would be evicted, but it seemed really rude to assume. Not that he could exactly remember if the lessor was the kind of guy to do something like that...?
