CHARACTER Name: Irie Kanata Journal:jazzforyoursoul Appearance: Same as in current canon, although he sometimes elects to wear contacts.
Personality: Irie is praised by his professors for his excellent bedside manner. Acting, it turns out, does have its practical applications in the medical world. Take that, aunt who said he was wasting his time. He generally acts friendly and welcoming to all, but still enjoys pulling the occasional leg. He has to vent all of the stress from his schoolwork somehow. Very few of his relationships are genuine, but he would go to great lengths for those that he truly considers his friends. His friends are often unsure as to whether or not they are, in fact, friends. He exemplifies his university's motto of "self-reliance and self-study." Though he often trades favors with people, he makes a point of truly relying on nobody but himself (and, on occasion, his older sister).
Biography: Irie quit playing tennis after the U-17 World Cup; he's satisfied with having played at the international level in high school. He kept in contact with a few people from the Japanese U-17 team via e-mail, but nobody from his actual high school, having taken a social media hiatus upon graduation which surprised everyone, given his, uh, attention seeking tendencies. He's only recently joined Dreamwidth and started to reconnect with people. He's currently in his sixth and final year at Tokyo Medical University, with the intent of eventually becoming an orthopedic surgeon. In his off time, Irie gives private music lessons to children in the area. He currently resides in Basil Gardens, having moved there at the beginning of his 5th year.
RP Samples: Irie bows solemnly, not a centimeter's difference from the appropriate height. "My apologies, but I'm afraid that I will no longer be able to continue your daughter's lessons once my university's summer break begins, as I'll be away for my internship. I am in my last year, after all." He pauses. "I have enjoyed teaching her these past few years, though. She really has improved quite a lot."
He turns to leave, but is stopped by a small hand clutching his wrist. He turns around and squats, making eye contact with his student. She wipes a tear from her eye. "Don't worry," he says soothingly, "I know you'll be the star of the brass band in middle school. Kanata-sensei taught you everything he knew."
He stands up again, winking at her mother, before walking out of the apartment. His shoulders droop from their previously impeccable posture as soon as the door closes behind him. He wipes his glasses on his shirt before descending the stairs to his bicycle below.
