Personality: Bokkai enjoys the idea of everything being in its place and doing what it is supposed to do. This doesn't mean, however, that's he's cold and calculating; he believes its perfectly possible for the finer things in life to be enjoyed without the loss of propriety. He tries to be proper and polite with everyone he meets, causing many to view him as a snob. In professional environments, he's a whiz, but in more social and easy-going places, he's fish out of water. He continually tries to deny the past, in both himself and others, though the conscious avoidance of it actually causes him to become obsessed with it.
History: Bokkai's father was extremely abusive, having a breakdown under the
strain of caring for a family. While Bokkai was able to "stand" the
abuse, his younger brother Akira couldn't and eventually died from it. His
father ran and was eventually captured by the authorities. The death of Akira
hit his mother the hardest, putting her in an asylum. Bokkai himself was taken
into the care of the state and was eventually adopted. To this day, Bokkai
cannot remember the name or face of his legal guardian, though he does remember
that he loves him deeply. His guardian enchanted Bokkai with the classical
world, schooling him in social manners, philosophy, and fencing, which his
guardian insisted on most vehemently. Bokkai saw in this a beautiful world that
made far more sense than his earlier family life. He decided that the world as
it is now was a disordered mess where one can never be truly happy for long and
decided to change it, to "revolutionize" how people treated their
lives. Of late, his guardian sent Bokkai to the Academy, paying for tuition and
boarding with a large deposit. Upon reaching the Academy, Bokkai suddenly found
it impossible to remember details about his guardian and, more inexplicable,
knew all about the duels.
