-_- Can't find the thread for submitting updates and forms for CC, so just posting it here for later.

Rai's updated personality:

"Rai isn’t the type to be completely “normal”. He’s definitely a very unique person, perhaps even weird in a way, or many. He certainly doesn’t fit the norm many seem to have put for the Black Sashes, and he can be very deceptive. In fact, though he doesn’t appear “book-smart” at first glance, he is very cunning, and very clever, including with words, since he is a smooth liar and can easily twist his words; in fact, he usually speaks with code. But, he doesn’t like to make himself prominent in many ways.

In formal duties, he’s often very complaisant, willing to agree and oblige to others, but he is far from being acquiescent. But, inside, he maintains his rebellious feelings, patient and waiting to strike when the time is right, and until then, he is cooperative—but only for what he sees is right. But, he usually keeps his opinions, feelings, and thoughts to himself.

Rai may be a Black Sash, but he has set moral standards no one could alter, and he would never actually hurt anyone for his personal benefit. Though he has an uncanny interest in explosives, he would never actually intend to hurt anyone for his gain, if he can help it. He is very devoted to the Black Sashes’ initial cause—that is, to end the discrimination by the Color System. But, his views do seem to vary largely from others, now, because as of far, he feels as if the group has been going off of their original principles—and become more violent. Even if the company has been striving to get rid of that reputation, he still has seen problems with the people within. After all, he believes that many of the Black Sashes have been rather corrupt, especially the more powerful ones, using the group to maintain their reputations and continue with violence. Though Rai himself has not actively strived to go up to power, he sees the group as redeemable, and so he is often concerned for the standards that the newer recruits also seem to not have, including intelligence, tactical strategy, modesty; the bare realization of human rights, use of methods other than just violence, and more—all in his opinion, and likely right.

Of course, with these high standards, Rai also holds himself to them as well. It comes down to the concept that he knows nothing is perfect. Not the Color System, not the Black Sashes, or White Sashes, or Colorless—and his position, currently, just happens to be a secret supporter of the Black Sashes, that he will only change within reason.

He is a very intellectual person, so it’s questionable just why he’s a Green Sash, and not more than that. He possesses a fantastic memory and many applicable skills, which he doesn’t make an effort to show, suggesting he is at least modest to a degree. He reads others very easily. However, he has a slightly laid-back attitude, making him seem somewhat lazy and unproductive, though when he does persevere or focus on something, he can and will get it done. Mostly, it’s due to him knowing the limits of what should and should not be done—for instance, if there’s too much risk, or there’s too much effort to something not worth it. But, he did excel academically, even as he never studied, and never felt the need to, either.

Rai is a very loyal person to those he cares for, though it’s actually rather hard to earn his friendship and trust, as he is somewhat distant and not that sociable. He’s dedicated and devoted not just to causes, as seen from his superior innovative and technological abilities. He has a temper that’s usually tempered down (haha bad puns), since he doesn’t mind being provoked, but he has an explosive wrath and an arsenal of insults ready for his use. He gets a bit peeved with negative mentions (usually those being flippant remarks) about his past, but usually it’s when his friends are being hurt that he gets bothered to react in such a way. Otherwise, he isn’t bothered by much, usually neutral. However, he is very annoying to his friends, though it isn’t quite enough to make them leave him—or perhaps it is in how he waits until their friendship has lasted for a bit. He acts younger than his age, pretty immaturely, especially when outside school and work, and doesn’t seem to have much regard to basic privacy, though there’s usually a reason he infiltrates this, or acts in a certain way. When he is doing so, he seems to keep going with no end—until he does end suddenly, making it seem a bit bothersome, sometimes.

He’s called Smirkster because of what he does. He smirks a lot. But, it’s compensation for how rarely he actually smiles, and maybe just a way for him to represent himself; or, perhaps, a way that he’s so used to expressing himself that he can use it as deception, too. Though he has revealed a softer and more empathetic side to him, where he will defend and comfort his friends, but this side only shows to his closest, and he keeps it behind locked doors.

There’s still a lot yet to be seen with him. But, even with all of this, Rai’s personality is still a mystery. Perhaps who he once was is hidden behind those doors he keeps his past behind. Is he just who he looks like, or is he just lying to himself as well?"
