TB/X MP'S:
SHIROU KAMUI 


Alias:  The Savior of the World, Kamui-chan (by Kotori), Whiney boy (by his anti-fans ^^;;;), Shirou-kun (by Keiichi)

Looks:  Kamui can be described as "cute"; in fact, being 16 he's much more still of a boy than of a man.  Deep purplish eyes combine with a very sweet face, a modest but graceful frame (you wouldn't guess that Kamui has so much power, seeing his nearly girlish outlook -- just look at his rear whenever he doesn't see you) and messy black tresses.  He's rather short and quite sensitive to this point.  Due to the fights he also may have more than one scar, but that's not so bad (girls looove sexy scars).

Smarts:   I'd say that Kamui is mostly around the average boy, marred by his stubborness and a terrific emotional inestability that would have normally taken him to suicide (but this is manga we're talking about!!).  In RL he'd be the preferred one of psychiatrists, psychologists, etc.

Personality:  Complex like a maze.  Kamui doesn't like his power and at first rejects everything related to the End of the World, saying that he has nothing to do with it.  He has been marked by his permanent loneliness: first he has no father, later he loses his second family (the Monous), then his mother dies and other dear persons soon followed.  The guy had a very difficult time assimilating all of this, breaking his insensible facade to reveal all the insecurities he had hidden for years.  He seriously needs a break, so if you can show him true care and a smile, he may open to you like those flowers under the desert rain. Just consult Subaru or Keiichi if you don't believe me.

Home Economics:  Nothing shown explicitely, but may be normal as he lives with his "tachi" (Arashi, Sorata and Yuzuriha) together in the same house.

Fighting skills:   You *did* see how did he kick the crap out of Saiki the first time, didn't you?  The Kamui who holds the majesty of Gods can't be anything but a great fighter with his blasts of energy, flying abilities, etc.  A little dose of ruthlessness and a more tactical head wouldn't hurt, however, specially when he confronts Fuuma. 

Special abilities:    An amazing ability to take physical damage and recover, TMzed by the one-and-only Saotome Ranma *lol*.  Surprising capacity to blame himself even for the death of a fly, too.  But going seriously... Kamui also has limited flying abilities, can project energy blasts in large quantities, creates a kekkai (though he rarely uses this one), is a magnet for psycho boys of hate... and we can go for hours, so let's stop!

Competition:   The Monou siblings, Sumeragi Subaru, Segawa Keiichi.  We'll reserve Fuuma for the end.  Kotori was a sweet girl her whole short life and Kamui cared more than a deal for her ("some" may not like it, but it seems that Kamui *DID* love her, at some point), and as she's dead, she'll always be perfect in his mind.  Subaru is stuck still with the Seishirou factor, but he has formed a deep bond with Kamui since he rescued the boy's soul.  Kamui himself seems to be infatuated with Subaru, but it seems that this one doesn't fully reciprocate this.  Keiichi is Kamui's sempai in Clamp campus highschool and his only friend outside of the Ten no Ryu, and is a painfully genki boy; so this challenge will be no unpleasant one, and possibly he'll back off and be your "Oniichan". But once you get to Fuuma... Be VERY afraid.  Fumma, former long-time friend, now death-ringer for Kotori and Daisuke, has obsessed himself into torturing Kamui to incredible extremes that would make your hair fall out (if not already).  If he "sees" (and he will) that you have feelings for Kamui, you can consider yourself dead, or his new toy of torture.  In any way, it won't be pretty for you.

In-Laws:  Kamui doesn't appear to have a father, and his mother and aunt (membresses of the mysterious Magami clan) both died in gruesome ways.  If Tooru and Tokiko were alive, they'd be at first reluctant, but if Kamui is even then determined to date you, they'll see you as one of the persons that he wants to protect, thus accepting you.  As for the Dragons of the Heaven: Sorata will tease you a lot, Arashi will keep him in line, Yuzuriha will invite you Pocky and make friends with you at once,  Seiichirou will kindly offer his parental guidance, Karen will give you pointers for the "deed", Subaru will possibly accept you as a younger sister, and Hinoto may predict one or two things about your future together.

Finances:  The Magami family seems to have some funds that Kamui may be able to use as he is their last remaining member, but he's still underage and legally can't administrate that money.  It's not very clear how the youngest Seals get by, but apparently Imonoyama Nokoru from the Clamp Campus has something to say in that field.

Sex:  Uh-oh.  Maybe it's one of the worst parts of Kamui.  He has been openly abused by the sadistic Fuuma in every battle they had and those memories are firmly imbided in this boy (Fuuma's favourite target being Kamui's smooth neck, which he loves to nibble at).  His recently awakened libido (from the teenage hormon flush) has shut down 95% for that cruel fact, and you'll have to take the lead and treat him very gently, as the sexual part will bring painful memories to surface and no matter how much he has grown to love you, it'll be difficult to turn him on.  

Overall:   "If only his destiny wasn't foreordined!!!".  Wah!! Kamui could have been a nice prospect, if he wasn't chosen to be the one to save this world.  He's once in a while sweet and protective enough to make a girl feel safe in his arms, but there's the fact of him being the preferred toy of his cruel counterpart.  I really dunno how could he have been if he was a normal boy and, now that he definitely isn't, I just can say that the boy is and will be trouble in your life.
