Profile

Name: Satou, Tarou
Age: Looks to be late teens or so. If you had to guestimate, about 19-20-ish. He doesn't give his age thanks to the immediate judgment people give about it.
Gender: Male
Occupation: Researcher of Duel Monster Artifacts and History
Duel Information: Burning Abyss
PB and/or Description: Imagine the tiredest looking person in the world, and then maybe double it. With dark purple messy hair and a pale look to his skin, he seems the very image of a shut-in Japanese teenager who might've burnt out after highschool-- which betrays his actual experience so far in his field.
PB: Tooru Yukimura from Aoharu x Machinegun.
Personality: Kinda a moody, sorta depressed type-- but it comes and goes in waves for him. Otherwise, he's usually too engaged in his research (which he heavily enjoys) in order to feel empty inside, and he's usually actually very cordial. As long as you're not getting in his way or stopping him from going somewhere, that is. When you show that you are, his extremely vengeful side comes out, and he tends to get very relentless there.

He's kinda a huge risk-taker; he lacks a fear of death and will go into extremely dangerous areas without any real care, all for the sake of his research. About the only thing he won't do is go deep-deep underground or underwater-- you can protect yourself against a lot of things, but pressure is another thing entirely.

He may also have a bit of a morbid sense of humor, and is the type to show someone a poisonous arachnid or snake and act like he doesn't understand why that person would want to be far away from it. However, this is mostly to hide the fact that he's suspicious of most anyone, including those who actively seem to be helping him. He's pretty smart, and he wants to think he knows when he's being hoodwinked, as it were.
History: Satou, Tarou is a young man who wants to be a leading researcher when it comes to Duel Spirits and their influences on human history-- that is his ultimate dream overall, at the least.

Growing up in an average family (though finding out about his Psychic Dueling abilities, triggering his interest in Duel Spirits as a whole), he had a mostly comfortable childhood. However, he wished to establish his research on his own merit, and promised to not return home until he succeeded in his dream.

The sad part of course is that he hasn't succeeded in his dream yet, but he seems more than young enough that he has plenty of time there. But his age tends to be a bit of contention for him-- after all, people don't really take a teenager-to-20 year old's word seriously, especially about an effectively niche field of study.

He ended up finding his way to Domino and Duel Academy, noting the extensive connection the place had to Duel Spirits in general, and managed to get permission from the Headmaster to conduct his own studies in the general area of the school in order to publish a research paper... so long as he doesn't disrupt the students, of course.
Abilities: An extremely powerful Psychic Duelist-- as a result, he tends to avoid dueling if he can, since he doesn't want to deal with limiters or anything... and for the most part, he hasn't needed to duel unless it's necessary.

However, sometimes his abilities come in use, such as summoning a monster to remove rubble safely, or creating a tool from a card to help with his excavation and research. So, you know. When you only have a hammer...

Why is your character here?: It'll be fun.
