Brief Overview: Ichijo is a black haired child, with cold gray eyes, they seemed to be black in a certain light. He does not have the cold eyes all the time, to Satoshi and his friends they seem almost warm and caring. His hair is usually spiked, when he gets up in the morning though it's all a mess, he has what would be called a true bed-head. But he just spikes it up again and leaves, most of the time it stays normal depends on how he sleeps. He pierced his right ear without his mother knowing, so he tends to take the three silver rings out before he goes home and replaces them with studs that don't stand out as much. He usually wears a black shirt and black shorts, he does not like to bother with shoes. But he has a pair tied to his back-pack most of the time. The kid rollerskates to school, so it's not like he really needs his shoes then either. The boy does not like showing off his skin, since he has scars there and he does not wish anyone to see them. But sometimes he shows them, mainly to Satoshi since he doesn't mind if the boy sees his wounds.

Or the old scars that are under his clothes, they are mostly from things he did as a child like falling out of a tree and stuff like that. He has a bracelet on his wrist with his name engraved on it, and well the meaning of his name. His mother gave it to him, and he just wanted to keep it with him always. So he never takes it off, not even in the shower. It stays with him, just in case something happens.

School clothes: A white shirt with a red tie and a red hoodie, his pants are black with silver lines down the side of them. He wears white tennis shoes with silver laces. He wears a few necklaces around his neck, the shirt is open to reveal a moon shaped mark on his chest. It seems to be a scar, but he won't talk about where he got it from.

Other outfits: A blue shirt, and black jacket with a pair of black shorts, usually just something he wanders around in, usually for when he goes to the beach or something like that. He has a ring on his finger that has silver chains connected to it, the chains form a web over his hand connecting to a glove that he usually wears. He has a similiar one on his other hand, the colors are just inverted. one glove is silver and black and the other is black and silver.

Overview: Ichijo is a happy kid, who is always seen smiling around Satoshi and his friends anyway. When he's away from them, that slightly cold rebellious side of him shows up again. He does not like taking orders from others mainly cause of his father. So he does tend to like to get himself into trouble, lately he has been listening a bit more only so he can hang out with Satoshi more. He is a rebel of course, what kid isn't but he is more of a good influence on his younger friends despite what people think. He does not want them becoming like him, so he tries to help them in ways no one helped him. He's always helping out around his house, whether it's making food for the guests at the inn, or making food for the few people they let live with them. It just shows how much he truly cares, even if he just doesn't always show it to everyone. Certain people see who he really is while others see nothing more then a shadow of what he had once been.

He is stubborn, and refuses to do certain things, he always tends to think that he can help anyone. But at times he knows that some people don't want help, he works his mind off to get what he needs done. Being over protective of the people he holds close to his heart is another one of his major strengths and yet another weakness as well. He won't let anyone get hurt, if he has the power to stop it he will. He can be seen making sure his friends never get hurt, taking a dog for them or taking a car for them. The saying I would take a bullet for you comes to mind here when it comes to him and his friends. The boy has some of his father's rage as well as some of his father's bad habits though he tends to be able to control it better then his father ever could.

The boy tends to get into fights, to him it's slightly fun and most of the fights are to protect other people. He doesn't seem to like to let other people get hurt, so he does all he can to prevent it. He makes things for people to show another way he cares, or he just sits there and holds onto them when they cry. Even if his heart seems cold, he's really not that cold underneath the surface some people just don't bother to pay attention to that part of him. Or maybe they never bothered to try, either way he doesn't seem to like having many friends anyway.

Mother: Henrietta Takahara
Father: Teito Takahara
Siblings: Rylin Takahara{4}, Malai{1}, and Malakai{8}, Takal{19}
Home town: Radiant Gardens
Overview: Ichijo is the second oldest in his family, he was born on May 10th a few days after his older brother's birthday. His older brother is in college now, so that leaves Ichijo to take over the jobs that his brother usually did. The boy takes care of the younger siblings when his mother needs rest, and well at a young age possibly about four he was already planning on being a great big brother though he had no younger siblings at that time. He was present when his younger brother Malakai was born, he actually sat at his mother's bedside and was the first to hold his little brother besides well his mother. He made a vow that day to be the big brother his older brother had been to him. Even though he did not like the idea of having to share his mom and dad with anyone else. His mother seemed to get sick for awhile after his brother's birth so he helped his father take care of the younger boy, and well when the two of them were about seven and five they got a younger sister. His father had been working with someone on adopting her after her mother had died. They only found out later that the girl's mother had been their father's sister.

They all went down to pick her up, and spent a whole month there with her. Going to amusement parks, getting her used to be part of the family, they went to one amusement park and she got lost. But she was found by Ichijo and Takal, from that day forward it was like Ichijo always knew where her hiding places were. Just like Takal knew that about Ichijo, he writes to his big brother all the time and shows him pictures of the family as they grow up. He's waiting for the time when his brother comes back.

He made friends with a young boy by the name of Satoshi and a few other younger kids. He made a vow to protect them as well, and even got himself bitten by a dog protecting Satoshi. He has feelings for Satoshi he won't talk about but he likes to tease him, and well cuddling the boy sounds good to him right about now. He walks Satoshi to school just about every day, and always walks him home as well, unless something else comes up. One might be eight and the other might be thirteen but they are still friends.

His mother has recently given birth to another young boy, and they are in the process of possibly fostering another child just till the child can get a better home. Since Ichijo's parents are foster parents and love kids, but with his father habits he is worried about another child coming into the home.

How Did You Find Us? on the site before, and was brought by Ventus.
Roleplay Sample: Ichijo moved out of his bed, he looked to the picture that was sitting next to his bed, he always kept it there. He would look at it when he was sad, after all he had his friends with him and they were all he needed. Not that anyone would understand him anyway, only a few people truly did and Satoshi was one of the few who really knew him. His other friends knew some about him, but it seemed Satoshi knew more. Maybe it was because of comfort levels Ichijo was not sure on that. Not that he would ever want to think about it anyway. He yawned and stretched, his back cracking as the blankets fell around his body. He looked to his hand, then to where the stitches were. He did not regret protecting his friend but he wanted the stitches to fade away or be taken out already. He was annoyed with them, or maybe he just wanted to feel pain. He did not truly care, he just couldn't wait to see his friend even if it was just walking him to school now. They were not the same age, but a friend was a friend and he liked having friends well he actually had a thing against them but this one he didnt' mind as much. He had made a promise to himself to protect them, and make sure nothing happened to them. Even if they might not have liked that, or at least liked what he was doing. 'Satoshi....for some reason I don't think his parents like me very much...but could just be my imagination...' He grabbed the book that was laying next to him on the bed, and placed it into his bag after making sure the picture was still in the front. He liked having Satoshi around, there was nothing that would make this better on them.

He knew there was just a few things that had gone on, and at the same time it was just not to easy. They were always trying, and he always wanted to just be able to smile freely without any problems this time. He walked out of his room, making sure to shut the door behind him, his little brother was still asleep in the room. There house was not a big one so most of the kids shared rooms, since they rented one of the rooms out to someone to get extra money. "Well I'm going to school bye mother..." He kissed his mother on the cheek and grabbed some toast from the counter shoving it into his mouth as he raced out of the door waving to her. 'Mother seems to be doing better...' He had taken over her work at the house, and the inn they owned. His father was a drunk when he wasn't at work, and sometimes he skipped work since his work was technically just sitting and ordering others around. He had been up late doing his homework last night so he was a bit tired.

But he let it go and hurried over to his friends house, he wanted to be there and well even though that familiar sting showed up in his arm again he ignored it. He had made his choice and they could hate him for it or they could accept it as he had. He did not care and never would for as long as he was still living and breathing. "Hey shrimp been waiting long?"He smirked and put his arm on the kid's head looking down at him. He always did that it was just the way they were. Plus he could be known as a different person around his friends, and the others at school right.
