• Occupation: Farmer in a small town. Sometimes feels overwhelmed because his family's farm supplies most of the food for the small town he lives in.

• Relationships: On good terms with his mom and dad, though he tends to disagree with his mom sometimes. Hates his grandparents, thinks they're overbearing and borderline abusive. Only really knows the shopkeepers personally from the town, he's on decent terms with some, but not all.

• Habits & Behavior: Tends to accidentally use formal titles for others, even if he knows their name (sir, ma'am,). Tilts head often, half the time seemingly for no reason. Hides hands behind back a lot. Frequently apologizes, even when unnecessary.

• Speech: Has a bit of an odd accent. Tends to mumble to himself when alone, otherwise he speaks clearly. Tends to keep his sentences short and to the point as he's worried about bothering others.

• Backstory: Born and raised in an isolated small town, Hideo was always a bit of a loner, though not by choice. He was homeschooled, had to help out his parents with the farm, and most kids had their own social circles already and Hideo had no idea how to join one. He continued staying alone for a while, even as a teenager, though his life at least got a bit more exciting at that age. As an adult, he still struggles with social gatherings and conversation as he never had the chance to properly develop any social skills. He tends to keep to himself, not wanting to push anyone away, but also scared someone would find him interesting at first then later leave him. He still lives with his parents and is still isolated, even at 30, though it is a young age for an elf. He wants to find someone who he can lean on and talk to. Just a friend, he's not asking for any more than a friend.

• Extra: When alone or very comfortable, he'll sometimes randomly pose, he just thinks it's fun. Doesn't really stop moving, if you pay attention. Usually he just messes with his hands behind his back.
