★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★

Skills:

* Very good cook
* Excellent combat sense
* Quick on his feet, nimble and athletic
* High stamina

Canon Abilities:

* Great Cursed Energy: Energy that Toge has been inherently blessed with that permits the use of his cursed speech and determines whether or not an enemy is on his level, below or above him.

* Cursed Speech: Marked with the snake and fangs seal of the Inumaki clan on his mouth and tongue, this allows him to imbue his words with cursed energy. Anything/anyone he targets is required to follow the directions of what he says. It works through speakers/phones just as well as in person. The more he uses it, the more exhausted he gets and the stronger the curse the bigger the backlash on him. Anything that could be construed as an order to be followed will be infused with cursed energy, there's no turning it off.

* Hand To Hand Combat: Toge has above-average combat senses, and primarily uses his reflexes to dodge and block attacks when it comes down to it. He can deliver powerful blows in a pinch, he's been trained to, that's not his fighting style. He has not been trained with any particular weapons.

Role: Familiar
Role Qualities/Attributes: He will manifest little tanuki ears and tail. (Not the mythological creature)
Role Reasoning: Toge is far from being a Myth, but nowhere near a Legend. He has the capacity to hurt people unintentionally, meaning he carries some guilt and fear in that particular area due to it happening before. As a character who's somewhat effectively mute, he's excellent at listening which would make him a great companion for a Legend or a Myth. He's kind and caring, and plays the role of stability in his canon, when he supports Yuta. While he does have an emotional drive at times, more often than not he's the level headed one in the room. He's good at calculating and even better in a crisis, more than that, he's trained for it. He would make an excellent supporting team member.

OPTION 2 QUESTIONS (PICK 4-5) 100-300 WORD LIMIT EACH:

What is the most important and defining relationship(s) in your character's life and why?

For Toge, the most important and defining relationships he has in his life are with his classmates, Maki Zenin, Panda and Yuta Okkotsu. Prior to enrolling in Jujutsu High, he was relatively sheltered by being within his clan. The Inumaki clan are all born with cursed speech, which means he struggled to speak to other people when most casual speech can be taken as an order. He struggled to connect to people, partly because he can't speak to them and partly because his speech pattern takes a bit of getting used to. His friends actually made the effort to try and understand him, although it helped that they knew why. This was deeply touching to him and allowed him to have a more lighthearted school life. He worried about Yuta because his experience resonated with him, indicating he was likely bullied as a child like Yuta was.

His future was always set and Jujutsu sorcerers always detach themselves from regular society, so the opportunity to just grow with his team and make some friends has been incredibly valuable. It's allowed him to have fun.

What does your character feel like they struggle with still? Where could they improve? This could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or otherwise.

Toge's cursed speech is extremely limited and when it comes to small jobs, he rarely has a problem, however when it comes to bigger incidents he's hamstrung by the fact his stamina is not up to par yet, and the blow back of his technique can often knock him right out of combat. This is incredibly frustrating for him because when he wants to protect someone and can't it's a huge failure on his part, despite the fact he has limits. Those limits are something he frequently ignores for the sake of protecting someone or getting the job done, sacrificing himself. He does not want to sacrifice himself, however, he just wants to be better. He is aware that he has potential, and he wants to tap into it.

What is your character's safespace? When do they feel the most settled and comfortable? When do they feel confident and relaxed?

Toge's safe space is nestled in the dorms, preferably with some mukbangs on Youtube to watch, or kicking back with Panda to watch the latest show. He's most comfortable when chilling in downtime with his friends, although he's probably closest to Yuta and Panda. Maki is a bit distant from him by her own design. Not only is this relaxing, but it allows for him to engage in teasing and trolling his friends which always brings a smile to his face. He's probably second-most relaxed in the dorm kitchen, and likely gets the most praise out of his cooking. Not enough people appreciate his attempts at trolling them. At heart, he really is just a regular teenage boy with a massive inherited curse.

What would your character sacrifice to get what they want or to reach their potential? What have they sacrificed already?

The job is what's most important to Toge and to reach his potential he's willing to push his body to the limit and beyond. He also downs an excessive amount of cough medicine that can lead to unwanted side effects to prolong his ability to do his job and the curses. He doesn't know where his potential stops - he's already a semi-grade 1 and it's been indicated to him that he can be more. As for his sacrifices, he's already given up his childhood and his ability to communicate with others for the most part, unless they're willing to decipher his code. He's willing to risk his life to protect humans from curses without complaint, but he's also driven by a desire to see where all this training goes and if he can unlock that unseen potential.
