name: Afanassii Abez'iana
age: 17
gender: Male
physical appearance: Afanassii has extraordinarily long red hair, the only exception to the shade being the color white in the front where his bangs would be if he cut his hair short. His lithe body is muscled just enough to give him a strong but graceful appearance. At 5'11, he's just a bit taller than the average Japanese student, but not tall enough to tower over them and certainly not the tallest boy in the school. Nassii has a tendency to dress in such a way that could only be described as 'steampunk' and is quite fond of goggles and kilts, though generally doesn't wear them to school. (Those of you who have seen Fruits Basket, he dresses much like Hatsuharu)
(picture drawn by cat_cat on Dev Art. I'm working on some drawings of Nassii and I'll post them here when they're finished.)
personality: Nassii is a very curious individual so he likes to explore and learn new things constantly. He is generally quiet unless called upon or else someone catches his attention and he is drawn to speak with them.
Since he usually keeps to himself, he can come across as a bit... odd. He'll sit and watch a situation, which may make someone feel as if they're being watched and make them feel uncomfortable but this isn't something that he does deliberately. However, another aspect of Afanassii that lends to his 'creepy' factor is the fact that he is fascinated with spiders.
When he does speak, there is a certain musical quality to his words because, as the hopeless romantic that he is, he is oft to resort to reciting poetry or else generally speaking in a flowery way. Perhaps it is the romance novels that he always has his head in or perhaps its just his own over active imagination but he is generally daydreaming when he appears to be quietly sipping his tea and whenever he talks of himself he has the odd habit of going off on a fantastical tangent in such a way that sometimes its difficult to say what is the actual truth and what is not. And then, there is the mysterious appeal of his Russian accent.
He is pleasant to anyone, even if they happen to be the type of person that gets on his nerves. If he is upset, he would sooner pout and remove himself from the situation than cause a fight though, if pressed, his tongue can be quite harsh if needed.
Things he dislikes:
Whiney, helpless women.
Men who expect women to wait on them hand and foot, or otherwise treat women with great disrespect.
Men without manners and/or serve no purpose in society.
Anyone who disrespects their mothers.
Hobbies: Believe it or not there's nothing that Nassii enjoys more on his own than sewing. From embroidery to designing to playing the role of the seamstress, working with needle and thread has become something that is almost second nature to him now. In fact, he creates most of his clothing himself.
Beyond his love of clothing (though he is not a fashion fiend by any means!) he also enjoys singing and playing several instruments, mostly stringed. He is particularly skilled with the Violin and the Bassoon, the only wind instrument he knows how to play. He never had formal dance lessons but he has a good sense of rhythm and would probably learn well if he tried.
history: Afanassii's family is very prominent back home. It was simply a whim of his to transfer to Ouran when he had done some research on the school and learned of it's reputation. In addition to Russian, he speaks English and Japanese fairly well. He uses his transfer to portray a need to learn to speak Japanese better, whether it is truly a need very few people know.
As a child, Afanassii was pretty much left to his own devices. While he received his schooling at home from a private teacher, he was allowed to choose any extra activities he wanted to participate in. He is the only boy in his family and has 4 sisters, 3 of whom he was fairly close to, and being around them has given him a bit of an empathetic view towards women. Since he spent a lot of time around his sisters, he learned to do many of the things that men don't normally do. They taught him how to make basic hairstyles and he picked up his skill in embroidery through them as well.
His youngest sister, Alena, has a rather weak constitution and as such she has been sick often throughout her life. Most of her time is spent not only at home, but in doors. She became an Anime fan at an early age and became interested in Japanese culture. Through her he became interested in foreign clothing styles and also learned a bit about the formal tea ceremony. Without Alena's interest, he probably never would have transferred to Ouran Academy.
His other sisters' names are Catia, Anya and Irena, in order of age. Afanassii is 4th out of 5 children.
relationships: Being brand, spankin' new to the school, he hasn't been around long enough to form any relationships with his classmates.
goals: While he has no specific character goals, a part of him aches for a significant other. Getting him to admit that, though, would be an entirely different matter....
sample RP: As Afanassii entered the academy he took a long look around at the tall ceilings and lush hanging plants. He set his bag down for a moment and took a walk around with his hands clasped behind his back. He gave a stately nod after the decor had earned his approval and a sly smile started to spread across his face. He then moved back over to retrieve his bag and move down to where he was pretty sure the school's office was.
He didn't take a very quick pace, in fact, he was almost hoping to run across some of his new school mates on the way either to see their reactions of him or to get a good look at the uniform he had yet to purchase, to have a better idea of what it might look like on his lithe figure. He was quite tall compared to the average Japanese school boy so he wasn't sure if obtaining trousers to fit him would be an issue.
At the moment he looked quite out of place in his faux fur-trimmed long coat, goggles and platform boots but he hadn't dressed for school, really, only to make his journey to school on his motorcycle more comfortable. He sighed and began to drift off into a daydream, hoping that life at this school might be more interesting that life back home....

Why do you want to RP this character: Because we need some foreign students. >.< And, because he's mine....
How far into the anime or manga have you gotten? I've only seen the first two episodes of the English dub so far, Tuesday I will see more.
