Description

:iconbudou-no-toshi:

♧ Name: Yamaoka Ren(山岡 漣)
♧ Nickname: Yakkun
♧ Gender: Male
♧ Weight: 75 kg (165 lbs)
♧ Birthday: 2nd February
♧ Blood type: B-
♧ Height: 165 cm (5'5'')
♧ Age: 16
♧ Grade: I
♧ Club: Track and field club

♧ Personality: 
Ren is a muscle-brain, all he thinks about is baseball, all his hobbies are related to it and he has never read a single book, except for some shounen manga. If you wonder how he even got so far in education - it is purely due to most exams being multiple choice type and due to having good friends. Ren uses a lucky pencil for most exams and tests - a regular pencil with answer choices scratched in - and thus he is always at the mercy of luck and has a whole row of rituals for improving it. Obviously this method fails from time to time, but overall it gives him around 40 to 60 percent of right answers and that is enough to pass. He always depended on friends and their notes to study for subjects where multiple choices did not cut it.

Ren is simpleton - both in his manner of speech and also his way of thinking. Anyone who does him a favor instantly is considered a good person and he is very likely to return favors in one way or another. He is also dense in most situations - he won't get any sarcastic remarks or subtle gestures and is unable to be witty. He finds slapstick humor funny and is likely to laugh out loud without hiding any emotions. Ren is easy to read.

He honestly believes all humans are the same. It is easily seen when something happens to family/friends and he tries to cheer them up and his only method of cheering others up is - playing catch-ball with them, taking them to a base-ball game or taking them to batting center. Obviously this doesn't work on everyone and why it doesn't - that is a mystery to him.

He is impatient and when waiting will start twitching like two minutes later, start doing push ups or crunches or pull-ups five minutes later or otherwise train.
           

♧ Likes: Training, baseball, talking about baseball, matches, manga about baseball, rice cakes, tangerines, oden, helpful people, sunny weather, summer  
♧ Dislikes: Studying, reading, mosquitoes, waiting, carrots, mean people, rainy weather, winter

♧ Biography: 
Ren was born in a family formed of a office worker and a housewife, as long as he can remember his parents got along fairly well and the house always smelled nicely of cookies his mother liked to bake. Like any other kid, he went to kindergarten and did what kids generally do - he wasn't particularly gifted in any area, except he seemed to never get tired and was active all day long.
 
When Ren was ten years old he was friends with someone from a little league baseball team and got dragged into a practice match, when one of outfielders got injured. He was unwilling at first, but as the last ball flew over the field and landed right into a mitt he had borrowed, it started to feel magical. It was pure luck and when the team he had temporary joined just minutes ago ran to him all smiling and cheering - he fell in love with baseball completely. That day he joined the team and from then on spent every single day doing nothing but baseball. His mother had twins around that time and Ren became an elder brother.
 
Five years later, after graduating from junior high, he got scouted for a high school with a powerhouse team, but before he could even think about it, things went wrong with his family. His parents got a divorce and each went to another lover, pretty much leaving Ren and his younger brothers to their own devices.

Grandmother from father's side stepped in and took all of the kids to her home in Koshu. Before this time, Ren had only met his grandmother once - during the funeral of his grandfather, his younger siblings hadn't met her yet. She was practically a stranger to them. Ren didn't wish to leave his siblings and made a hard choice to refuse the scouts and decided to try enrolling in a high school in Koshu.

It did hurt to find out that Yamakawa high had no baseball club, but nothing to be done about that. He didn't stop training and didn't give up his goal of being a pro one day, but for now he had to get in the school with no options of getting a recommendation. He opened a bunch of notes, he had gotten from his previous team-mates, and started to study for entrance exams in Yamakawa high.


♧ Family/Friends: 
 Younger siblings (twins) - Yuuki and Kazuma. Differently to Ren they aren't too fond of outdoor activities and prefer to spend their time drawing and reading. They are close to Ren.
 Grandmother - Mayu. She is a strict, but reasonable person, but doesn't know her grandchildren well enough to know how to act towards them. She and her husband had a huge dispute with their son in the past, so they didn't keep in contact.
♣ Father - Tsuyoshi. Office worker, who got married very young and even if he tried to work and earn income for his family, he never quite got used to the role of a father. He was more of a older brother type to his kids. He loved his wife, but feelings faded and he started various affairs.
 Mother - Sayaka. Housewife, who got married at the age of 17 and never finished high school. She was a country girl at first, but did her best to live in a city and raise her kids. Pretty much all care for them was left in her hands. She did her best to be a good mother, but as time passed she started to feel bitter for never having time to enjoy herself. Finding out about unfaitfulness of her husband was the last drop.
 Ren's team-mates from little league and junior high baseball teams he had particularly close relationships with: Sakuma (the one who dragged him into it), Hayate (who shared the lucky pencil method), Yoshiyuki (who was good at studies and lent his notes), Miyuki (junior high team's manager who also helped with notes), Katsuya (a pitcher to who liked to read novels and helped Ren with literature essays).
 Friends not related to baseball: Hiiro (classmate from junior high, who was into another sports team. Both of them shared a mutual understanding about importance of sleep, as they often stood out in the hallways side to side for sleeping in class) and Natsu (also a class mate in junior high, who liked to scold both Ren and Hiiro, but helped them out nevertheless. The three of them had lunches together)    

♧ Additional Info: 
 He is relatively good at running, so he decided to pick track and field for his club activity. His best time for 100 m sprint is 11.2 seconds. Training to be faster at sprinting doesn't go against his training regime either way.
 Ren has a dark tan in summer due to spending a lot of time outdoors. He turns a couple of shades lighter during winter.
 Ren is very muscular, that's why he weights so much, despite being 165 cm tall.
 His nickname comes not as much from his surname, as it comes from him being a baseball (yakyuu) idiot.
 He can't even properly prepare ramen, if he is hungry he'll eat it before it's ready, but if he ends up starting to do push ups to pass time, the noodles will turn all soggy.
 He prefers showers over soaking in a tub  
 If he finds a moth or mosquito in a room, he won't calm down till it's either out of the room or dead.
 In early mornings, if you try to wake him, he speaks in sleep and properly answers to conversation out of protective mechanism to gain more sleep, but doesn't remember anything he said when he actually wakes. (Can't count all the times when he lied to his mother about school not happening in his sleep)  



Decided to try my luck, because the group looks awesome. I hope it's not too short or too long, amg.

My first time making a muscle head, but I feel it might be fun RPing him. >u< </sub>

XD Ahaha, a muscle head, I'm sure this guy would make the RPs livelier. Dunno' why, but I can only imagine him choosing his friends like this:
" DO YOU LIKE BASEBALL (Y/N)?:iconimseriousplz:"
