Romance is okay for me I suppose. Battles with NPOCs are also fine, and probably needed. To pass the time until the next action, I made a profile for Hotaru's bro, or rather, the first draft.
Name: Ohno Hideaki
Appearance: A contrast from his sister, he has long shoulder-length black hair that while sometimes messy from sleep, is easily straightened. He has a rather gaunt build, and average height. He moves in a subdued manner, and generally doesn't smile. He wears a grey kimono, which is generally under a blanket he usually carries around.
Other: The brother of Hotaru. While Hideaki generally either sleeps at home or just about any private place, he currently runs a food stand. It's mildly successful, to his sister's surprise. Perhaps related to this is his rather odd habit of knowing the names of just about anyone even if they haven't eaten in his shop, and vice versa. His food stand generally changes location by the day, depending on where Hidaki feels like going.
Although he'll miss all the action most likely.
