"Hit me with your best shot!"
• Name :: Aoi Aoyama.
• Nickname(s) :: N/A.
• Birthday :: July 23rd.
• Age :: Seventeen.
• Gender :: Female.
• Sexuality :: Bisexual; leans towards men.
• Physical Description :: Aoi is proportioned rather normally, holding the typical weight, height, and build of a high school girl. Her skin tone is a rather pasty beige, but healthy for someone as moderately fit as she is. It is blemished due to teenagedom, but nothing that couldn't be remedied with a few scrubs and washes. Her hair is a dusty shade of powder blue, leveled off at her nape in a neat trim. Her bangs are rather long and scrape just above her top eyelids. She blinks to the world a lovely shade of medium blue eyes that appear quite inquisitive and charming. This is mirrored in her stance, which near always looks scrutinizing.
Fashion :: Aoi's full interest revolves around punk fashion although she only owns one outfit that fits the style: her stage clothes. With the contempt of her mother dawning on her, Aoi sticks to graphic tees and faded jeans to display her tomboyish side, but still feel relatively comfortable. She avoids long skirts like the plague, saying she, "feels like a nun" when she dons one that flows passed her thighs. Her second most common outfit is her school uniform, which she is neutral towards, since it is required attire. Yet, she awaits the day she can trade in the sweater vest and pleated skirt combo if her band ever takes up more of her time. She is attached to a cheap bow headband she constantly dons. It holds no significance either than being her favorite accessory, but she does grow irritable if she happens to lose it.
• Family :: Midori Aoyama (mother; divorced; living with); Hiroshi Aoyama (father; divorced), Junpei Aoyama (twin brother; deceased).
• Band mates :: Fuji Fukushima (lead vocalist in Augment), Keiji Kentaro (secondary vocalist and bassist), Ryoko Ryusaki (guitarist).
• Likes :: Playing the drums, dancing, her cat, sleeping, alternative rock, horror movies, iced tea, being amongst her friends, summer.
• Dislikes :: Exams, cooking, plain yogurt, mirrors, cold weather, long skirts, stomach aches, letting people (especially her friends) down.
• Personality :: Aoi's a geek and she knows it. Yet, she isn't afraid to flaunt her Star Wars knowledge or float about in a skin-type bodysuit to cosplay her flamboyantly sexy OC. One thing Aoi isn't afraid of is being her own person. If momma pushes it, of course it isn't wrong! The "normies" as she refers to those who look down on her individuality just don't, quote, "understan' her amazin' sense of self!" End quote. Like stated before, to Aoi, they don't need to understand. She will and forever have her collection of homies willing to always play a round of Dungeon and Dragons or watch terrible movies just for their infamous forty second girl-on-girl make out scenes. Aoi has her life of splendor and no wise crackin' fool is gonna bring that happiness down.
She may not be her band's 'leader', but Aoi definitely knows how to be assertive and lay down rules that need apply to any circumstance that may arise. When she states a command, she hopes it to be followed fully, but is quite open to any improvement if someone boasts a complaint or makes a suggestion. It is this openness many see the potential of a leader, but it is her willingness to back down in favor of another when others turn this thought around. In actuality, Aoi sees herself more as the little curled hooks on a strip of velcro. She is not the main component of such a simple invention, but a link that keeps the unity of her band. Aoi tends to hold this self-accounted position with pride, arguing if it wasn't for her, Augment would've split long ago. Surprisingly, other bad members agree because her song, "Heterochromia" is the reason they made it to the top of infamy for a short period.
Since the times of tiny tot days, Aoi has aspired to be a super hero. She has always admired their amazing abilities, bulging ripples of non-oiled muscles and brighter than sunshine costumes. It wasn't even the fact they always triumphed that amazed her. No -- it was always them. They were so damned intriguing . . . the very definition of manliness that set her neurons boiling. Superman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Captain America, Hulk . . . all those famous male superheros are honored like infamous sex gods to her little tomboyish mind. Unfortunately, this example of prime manly rib has grown to some other ultimate Adam. Aoi has morphed her fantasies to an overdeveloped sense of courage. Though completely brave and willing to do anything in the name of justice, she sometimes doesn't know her own limitations. The poor gal has become the stereotypical outcome of bullying and otherwise for having her tighties a little too tight. However, those occurrences have never brought down her spirits. Gotta keep your chin up, 'cause she knows everyone's got their kryptonite.
Aoi is a bit full of herself. Okay, well, no, the sophomore thinks she's the best damn thing ever to be crafted by whatever-god-or-goddess-up-in-those-cloud's hands. Though she is average when it comes to looks, not too athletic, and limited to only being talented at banging on drums like a rapid squirrel on LSD, her self opinion is quite high. This has incarnated a need to be known and is likely the reason she is so rambunctious and loud amongst her school populace. No one knows her name, but she has been attributed to being known as the, "pale, skinny chick who is always so loud." Her lack of civility in public places besides school is also impossible to control. She speak-ups (literally) everywhere, letting her echoing voice be known and heard. Heck, Aoi even brags she has been kicked out of more restaurants than a smoker lighting up a cig for being so voiced. She approximates the total of being at least twenty. If she hadn't such a remarkable talent in playing the drums, the other member's of the band Augment would've voted her to be their lead singer.
Now a days in this present teenage age, nonconformity is the new in. Aoi blasts away that thought. She is still that clingy little girl who runs under their mother's skirts when terrified. That separation of maturity did not stop even after Aoi grew up into middle adolescence. No -- she still requires those happy little hugs and bedtime stories by nightlight. Her mother never sheltered her. In actuality, she encouraged Aoi to be as individualistic as possible to avoid this outcome. Yet, Aoi never broke. She is still extremely fond of the attention brought from her mother. Some have even attributed it to a case of a reverse Electra complex, yet Aoi feels no remorse towards her father. Perhaps Aoi is just fond of the female attention, considering her mother is the only woman who will possibly ever love her. They may always say momma knows best . . . but sometimes you have to earn a little sense of self and start making your own decisions in life. Unfortunately, that seems impossible for Aoi.
Aoi has an overarching fear of mirrors and cannot stand the sight of her reflection for longer than a few minutes without feeling a shortness of breath, palpitations, and increased sweating. The guilt of seeing Junpei's scarred face the day after his car accident was etched in her mind for eternity and she in unable to behold herself without imagining her brother's. Even so, the phobia also extends to a truth: Aoi wishes never to see herself in such a state too. Her brother was a wake-up call of what was to come of recklessness and granted her mental state a valuable, but one careful conscious.
• Background :: Aoi's youth has been fairly mundane. The trials and tribulations of another human being's life has affected her, but over the years came the healing, and she has adapted well to her current circumstance. At age eight, her twin brother died in a car accident, and the blame of his death was hard to place, for both parents were arguing when it occurred. After their loss, her mother and father became quite violent towards each other, blaming each other for losing their son, so a divorce was imminent. At age twelve, Aoi's well-being was handed over to her mother. With her daughter secured in her custody and never allowed to see her father again, Aoi and her mother snagged up their things and took off to the western part of Tokyo. Aoi moved up from middle to high school after a few years.
In high school, Aoi's exuberance let her be known, but not popular. Many did not want to become her friend. To remedy this situation, Aoi turned to internet friendships, and garnered a handful of people to call her friends on a popular music forum. When text and emoticons drew to a limited wall, Aoi grew frustrated, and suggested her friends meet-up in real life. They hesitantly agreed and when they met, Aoi recognized their internet usernames as Fuji Fukushima, Keiji Kentaro, and Ryoko Ryusaki. They were all in high school, but separated evenly throughout the four years: Fuji was a freshmen, Keiji was a junior, and Ryoko was a senior. The four were awkward together and some even suggested they just go back to their virtual ways, but Aoi wouldn't stand it. She suggested they start a band to not only keep themselves together, but also include the very item that brought them closer. The other three reacted even more hesitantly at the idea, but agreed nonetheless, and that is what started the fame of Augment.
The band's title "augment" means to make something greater by adding more. With each of them adding their talents to the band, they became one, but not without a rocky start. None of them knew how to play an instrument, but with encouragement from Aoi, they picked up day jobs to buy the position they wanted. Aoi became the band's official drummer and she couldn't help but feel she deserved the role. When the band garnered enough confidence, they wished to start an original song, and the blue-haired high school student launched at the opportunity. She most certainly wanted to contribute a song, but there was a problem: Aoi had no talent for writing.
That is where her best friend Manabu came in. He was an excellent writer, with hopes of becoming a novelist in the future. As a gag, Aoi conned him into writing a song. He playfully agreed, handing her off something half-assed, but it actually sounded quite good. With a few tweaks, Aoi presented the song, "Heterochromia" to her band mates. This token, but also stolen work, became the pride of their fame.
One day as they were practicing, Ryoko recorded them and than sent a CD off to a nearby radio station. The originality of the song caught the ears of a producer, and Augment became famous for a hit single. Their fame and fun only lasted a few months before they became old news. Longing for the brighter world of media once again, Aoi's band mates dogged her to write a new song, and Aoi did not know how to live up to their expectations when the work wasn't hers. Aoi gave them a yes, stating she'd give them something new by a week's end.
Manabu, too, did not take too well to Aoi's theft. Their relationship grew strained, but Manabu, who had always held tight emotions for his best friend, came to a deal with Aoi. If she agreed to be his willing girlfriend, he'd continue to page off songs for her and her band mates to play. Aoi, who never held any emotions for Manabu at all (she had a raging crush on Keiji), agreed just to quell the cries of her friends and live up to their wants.
