Gundham Tanaka

Name: Gundham Tanaka Gender: Male Age: 21 years old Height: 5'9" Weight: 163lbs Blood Type: B Birth date: December 14th

Appearance: Gundham is a young man with an athletic build and pale skin. He wears a long black jacket that stops just below his knees, always left open with a dark red lining; according to his reference sheet, it is part of his school uniform. The left sleeve is rolled up to the elbow and fastened to the jacket with silver pins. Gundham is also known for his long purple scarf, which wraps around his neck and covers his chin. Vertical (presumably occult) symbols are emblazoned on the back of his jacket and the ends of his scarf. Underneath his coat, Gundham wears a white button-up layered over a slightly darker shirt with a grey-purple cross design on the chest. His black pants are tucked into black boots riddled with straps.

He wears an undercut, and the top section of his hair is slicked back into a single curl. His hair looks more wild and jagged when he's enraged. His hair is black with light grey streaks. This may result from either dyeing his hair or a melanin deficiency known as poliosis, giving him several 'Mallen streaks.'

Gundham has no eyebrows. He has grey eyes but wears a red contact lens in his right eye. The grey scar that runs through his left eye onto his right cheek appears to be a tattoo. His left arm, which he calls the "cursed arm," is bandaged up to the elbow, presumably from injuries he received while taking care of his animals. Gundham wears silver rings on his right hand's index and middle fingers.

Background: Gundham lived with his mother throughout his childhood. Even though they appeared to have a good mother-son relationship, her cooking skills left much to be desired. Having no choice but to silently endure her terrible cooking so as not to make her cry, Gundham began to develop a belief that his body was "poisonous" and carried "a fearsome curse." He then used his home life to create a defensive persona not to let other people touch him, claiming that they would "immediately decompose and wither away." He applied this in grade school, when it became clear he had never held hands with other children. He would feign an ailment and position himself near the teacher to avoid questions. He also regularly skipped folk dances at school, managing to leave without participating, thanks to a nurse who sympathized with him, or as he put it in his own words, "from the same tribe" as him.

Gundham seemed to have an absent father, as his mother is the only parental figure he explicitly mentioned and credited with raising him. He only hinted at his father's existence by describing himself as "the offspring of an angel and a devil" and "a result of a union between a human and a demon."

While attending Fazal Commerce High School, Gundham became a notable member of the Breeding Club due to his ability to tame any animal and his success in proliferating endangered species. A joke rumor circulated that he could also speak to animals. His most noteworthy contribution, however, was running a website related to animal breeding. The actual content was never revealed, but he claimed that his research results were eagerly awaited by scientists (or "sorcerers") around the world. The website was said to be highly secure (or "magically enchanted"), so only selected individuals could access it. In contrast, ordinary people could only access the dummy site called "Exciting Breeding Journal." Gundham also conducted his own ethical breeding research, with his latest project being a hybrid hamster with "sparkling silver fur" with dominant spots and bands. Alongside this and many other animals he cared for at home, he entrusted their care to people he selected to assist with his breeding duties.

Gundham was always seen carrying the Four Dark Devas of Destruction, his four pet hamsters, inside his scarf. Their names are Supernova Silver Fox San-D (orange and white), Mirage Golden Hawk Jum-P (the ever-sleepy tan fur with a peach underbelly), Crimson Steel Elephant Maga-Z (grey and white with a chipped ear), and Invading Black Dragon Cham-P (orange and plump). Due to their territorial nature, Gundham used his body as "a bed" to tame them, which was why his left hand was always wrapped in bandages.

Personality: Gundham is an eccentric, larger-than-life character, plagued by delusions of grandeur stemming from his chūnibyō syndrome. As "the offspring of an angel and evil," he proclaims himself as evil personified, one who has claimed dominion over evil, and thus a being that transcends humanity. To further embellish his villainous persona, he adopts grandiose titles such as the Supreme Overlord of Ice and Tanaka the Forbidden One. He also refers to his pets as his loyal subordinates under the Tanaka Empire's dominion and is offended when others call his Four Dark Devas of Destruction "hamsters."

Gundhams talks in an exaggerated, theatrical style, reminiscent of a cartoon supervillain, using pompous, old-fashioned, esoteric vocabulary that inflates even mundane interactions. His speeches, dripping with poetic, cryptic, and metaphorical language and terms, often irritate and confuse others, especially those who are not used to interacting with him, ultimately causing Gundham to push them away from him. He perceives "normal people" as inferior beings incapable of comprehending the full extent of "his power," calling them "mere humans," "fools," and "fiends," among other dismissive terms.

As the "great and powerful Gundham Tanaka," he is self-centered and aloof, alienating himself from others to focus on his own needs and the Four Dark Devas. Though Gundham appears prideful and shuns spending time with mere mortals, he seems to be lonely. He claims that he only desires silence and solitude, though his lonely expression later on suggests otherwise.

This loneliness and his inability to express his actual wants and needs without resorting to his overly dramatic "evil lord" jargon may stem from Gundham's extreme social awkwardness. It starts with his belief that his existence is "cursed" and that "poisons" run through his blood due to enduring his mother's terrible cooking. He uses this to justify his strictness about avoiding physical contact with others since childhood, disguising his fear of intimacy.

Another trait and ability often showcased by Gundham is his level-headedness. He also has a deeper understanding of certain situations and isn't lost in his own world. His perceptiveness and contemplative nature strangely reveal that he cares about his classmates, albeit in his own distant way.

Gundham also holds deep respect for nature and its laws. He understands that nature is indiscriminate in its harsh cruelty, noting that pleasure and pain are irrelevant as long as one has a purpose and takes action for that sake. He also does not fear death and strongly dislikes mankind's malicious ways. Notably, Gundham hates the idea of giving up without a fight, for he believes that all creatures are born to fight tooth and nail to survive.
