The General Impressions Meme

Hi and hello! It's been a hot minute since we had anything like this, so I drafted up a handy little easy-to-fill-out doohickey... But what is it, you might ask? A mish-mash of a general knowledge meme (for handy quick CR-making, handwave-style so you can get past all the boring introduction bits) and a first impressions meme (because who doesn't want to know what a first impression brings)! Have fun, don't stress, and welcome newbies this is as much for you as it is anyone else!

First Impressions
Body Type: Height and general look! Are they short and stubby, or maybe they're petite? Do they have daikon legs, or are they normal? A little on the chubby side, or maybe they're tall?
Style: Are they always in uniform, or do they have something they like wearing outside of class? Do they mix and match? How do they usually do their hair? Do they take care of themselves? Any piercings, tattoos, and so on?
Voice: What's their voice like? Do they speak quietly, or are they always at max volume? Any interesting tics or words they tend to repeat a lot?
Scent: What's their smell? Do they have any perfume, or is it just the soap and water they're given for the showers here? Did they regain anything they like to use? All that kind of thing! Or maybe they're in a club and don't mind smelling like sweat.
Demeanor: How do they carry themselves? Do they act like they're the main character every day of their life, or do they prefer if people just don't notice they're around at all? How would someone else describe your character's disposition at first meeting? How do they move—are they light on their feet, heavy walker, somewhere in-between?
Go-to Conversation: What topic or topics will your character bring up without fail, like how they play piano, or how they used to have a body before... The Incident?
Tallies: Do they hide them, or do they not care? How do they deal with them?

School Life
Dorming: Where do they sleep? In the dorms, in a classroom, what? Do they have any roommates? How do they dress up their personal space?
Class: What class are they in? And for faculty members, what subjects and years do they teach?
Clubs: Any clubs, official or unofficial? Associations and other extracurriculars, such as sports teams or the Student Council, can go here too! How often do they attend?
Studying: Digging into the nitty-gritty: how are they as a student and/or a teacher? Do they slack off in class, do the bare minimum to pass, or maybe they're just not even there most of the time? Are they an attentive teacher, or did they only take the job to get to places regular students can't?
After-School: Aside from clubs and the like, how do they spend their free-time? What's their weekend routine? Doing or solving murders aside, of course!
Mutuals: Who do they hang around the most—that is, if someone knows your character, who else do they probably know?

Anything Else: Whatever else you'd like to mention or show us that might not fit into the above questions!

Character Name: natsume sakasaki
Age: 17, but his birthday is coming up Real Soon (like february 4th real soon)
Canon: ensemble stars!!

First Impressions
Body Type: lithe and somewhat on the petite side; if he was a little shorter he could probably be mistaken for a girl. the kind of person who's really easy to pick up if he didn't try to scratch your eyes out in the process. like a cat
Style: school uniform with some modifications to it, like wearing a sweater under it because he's the type of person who gets cold easily. outside of that, he mix and matches various outfits he's got back from home... he particularly likes this jacket actually. in general though, he prefers darker colors and long sleeves for casual wear. he also has his ears pierced! and he will pierce yours, for a price :) his piercings change daily between some he has from home and some he received as christmas gifts, but they always match.
Voice: a gentle voice that catches on the ear; it lowers to a creepier note when he's "casting a spell" though, so watch it. he's voiced by kenji nojima, and you can find a nice little collection of natsume quotes here, thank you to past me always. he also has a vocal tic where he'll emphasis a part of a word—this is indicated by me capitalizing some syllaBLES. he's not shouting don't worry, it's just a hard emphasis to draw attention to things.
Scent: natsume smells different every day, though since about mid-january there's always been a trend of them having some hint of lavender in them. that's because he makes his own perfumes and he doesn't like repeating scents. he can also make you perfume... for a price :) otherwise he keeps himself clean and neat, he's a very meticulous and appearance-conscious young man.
Demeanor: stand-offish and shady. he just appears out of nowhere sometimes and disappears just as quick. actually, he's been compared to a cat a lot in canon—independent and confident and will only deal with you if he feels like it. he's quick to panic when he gets emotional though, so if you ever catch him at a bad time, well. there we are.
Go-to Conversation: fortune-telling....... he will never Not mention he reads fortunes. i feel like i have to put maya here too because he used to bring her up a lot (little wolf), but he probably doesn't as much nowadays, or he stops himself from mentioning her. but it's mostly fortune-telling. please anyone pre-january don't point out he talked about her a lot because then it becomes really obvious he had a thing for her and he wants to die thanks. he also probably mentions he does magic a fair amount, because he loves the fact he can do magic
Tallies: it's a mixed bag. he used to be pretty big on hiding them, and he incidentally hides them because he's a fan of long sleeves, but recently he hasn't really cared—so i'll mention he has 15 total tallies and we're all just going to have to deal with that!

School Life
Dorming: he's rooming with subaru akehoshi and helena adams in star 1, and the fourth bed either belongs to miyuki shirogane if he survives and also didn't kill either of the twins and also helena doesn't react badly to him because the second she's like "okay i'm gonna live with rantarou for a little while" shirogane-kun is getting kicked OUT—, or is a storage space for whatever stuff they want to put on it. natsume's a private person, so he's taken the bottom bunk in his and subaru's set up because 1. he's going blind so he doesn't want to chance the ladder when that happens and 2. he can put up a curtain, which he's done. in general, like subaru, he has some star motifs around his space, and despite how meticulous he is about his physical appearance his personal space tends to be a little messier, particularly if he's really into something and he's not paying attention to it. it'll never be as bad as Some people though, so he considers himself relatively tidy.
Class: he's a second year! he was in npcless 2-d for a long while until we all got shoved together, and now he's just in npcless second year. looks up, he's not allowed to have friends his own grade, i understand.
Clubs: natsume is... president of the astronomy club since subaru tossed that on him, vice president of the gardening club, and attends the gaming club and robotics club every so often because he's interested in those types of things. he's also technically sometimes at the unofficial occult club, but that's usually if he has to ask clamor something rather than joining in; he still feels like he's probably not allowed to actually be around despite june being more than half a year gone
Studying: he doesn't need to study so he doesn't study. if he says he's studying, he's lying so that you will leave him alone. thank you. despite that, his grades are extremely good—it's probably frustrating because he doesn't even attend class half the time either. that's reading ahead so you can spend less time learning the material slowly though! if anyone needs tutoring, he can do it... for a price :)
After-School: he offers fortunetelling both before school and after using cards (now featuring both the nice cards nene got him for christmas and his tarot that he found from home)! he'll attend to garden club duties as well, and when he's not doing any of that, he's practicing magic until nightfall, where he'll either spend time with haruka (the library ghost, for those with spirit sight) or host astronomy club meetings with warm food and drink on the rooftop.
Mutuals: subaru akehoshi is a constant fixture in his life like the north star he is NOT named after, so unfortunately if you know one you know the other. this goes for nagito komaeda too, his detested loss for words. he also chats with a few npcs when he sees them, so if anyone needs an in to that, let him know and he'll introduce you two—most notable are nao sato, akira fujioka, and for those who can see spirits haruka and kazuki. there used to be more but haha. he's also friendly with a handful of pcs and makes it his business to at least know people the bare minimum, so you can go ahead and assume they're at least introduced and have had a few light conversations c:

Anything Else: he has a bean gatling gun now, this might be their new roommate if things don't work out with shirogane-kun
