Personality: On the outside to people who are not close to him, he seems cold and cruel. However he is actually a fun person to be around and is always trying to help out his friends. However he seems to suffer from severe PTSD due to the abuse and growing up in country that has been going through a war. He is normally tired as night terrors keep him up at night. He will normally wake up screaming for his family. After a episode passes, he seems to have become numb and doesn't show much emotion. It is his minds way of protecting itself. Prone to outburst and re-living flash backs. It is very hard for him to tell people that something is wrong with him. That he is not all that there.
He will try anything he can to keep it a secret, though the chances of it showing become greater when fireworks go off near by. He will hit to the floor and cover his head. This is because they remind him of bombs that he had seen go off. He wants help, but is afraid that he will be seen as weak if he seeks it. So he keeps it bottled up until it becomes too much. The truth behind it all is that he wants to be forgiven for not being able to give his family a better life, not being able to save them, and not being able to save his best friend. Very untrusting of police, mostly stems from how corrupt his home country was and how weak the police are back there.
When he is with people that he trusts and cares about, he becomes a fun and caring boy. He won't mind listening to other people's problems and will do whatever he can to keep them safe. He has a soft spot for children that are younger than him. He will sometimes even act like their big brother. This is probably because he wants to make sure they don't end up like his little sister and little brother.
Bio: Born in Afghanistan, both him and his family lived in the slums. By the time he turned 14, he had already killed a few people. He was taken to become a child soldier when he was 9 years old. He made friends with some of the other children that were recruited to become child soldiers. Or rather forced as the children in the slums were easy targets for the rebels. This was to give his family some kind of income. Having no form of education and being promised on being given one that was what bought his parents over rather fast. That would turn out to be a lie. A few years later, he left the country after seeing his best friend in the army blow himself up taking along some people that went to praying. Among the victims were his family, unable to take it anymore he used the money he had gain to get out out of the country. Still though, he barely had a education and was going to need a place to stay. He just wanted to go to a place that was far from there.
That was how he got to Japan. Not really liking the city, he took a train to the country side as it seemed to put him at ease somewhat. Since he was 18 though, he was placed in senior year. There were more than a few problems with that though. One of them being that he didn't know how to read or write. Now he was going to have to look for somebody who was going to be willing to teach him also let him stay under their wing since he now has little to no money.
