[/u][/center][/size][/font].:Look:.
Taiki has a fairly unique look about him but at the same time tries to fit in as best he can. His soft toned, brown hair is cut to be scruffy and he leaves it to do what it wants unless it looks particularly messed up then he persists in gelling the ends into spikes for a laugh or just brushing it quickly. He has dark eyes, slanted ever so slightly due to his Asian background and bloodline. His eyes are always filled with his emotions and are always fixed on a computer screen or two. He has a fairly chubby face, a kind of boyish charm in his features that is often seen on the most innocent of us. He has a bright smile when talking to others and has a cute kind of manner about him.
Not the most muscular guy around, in fact...he has very little muscle at all. He has a naturally slim build but is untoned, his slim build is thanks to a fast metabolism rather than regular exercise. Taiki's skin is a subtle olive and generally clear. He has a tendency to hold himself badly, slouching a little and making himself quite small. He can appear to be quite shy and timid but isn't once you talk to him, he then straightens up a bit and opens up to the person he's conversing with.
Taiki's fashion sense varies from day to day, phase to phase, game to game. He likes to inconspicuously cosplay because he know he's cosplaying and he's not stared at for strange costumes; so, he can often be seen in Deathnote type cosplay or in outfit mimicking game characters. However, he will often wear normal clothes too, it's just something he does from time to time. In addition to his clothes for the day, Taiki will usually be carrying his Gameboy DS, Gameboy Colour, mobile phone with game applications, PSP and laptop.

[/u][/center][/size][/font].:Basic Personality:. (2 normal sized paragraphs please.)
Taiki is by definition...a geek. Not a nerd, expect a seriously mad Taiki if you call him a nerd. Nerd = academic, sciency people. Geek = creative interests, anime, gaming, I.T. Got that? Awesome, now we can begin. Taiki is an extreme gamer, not something he's necessarily proud of but something he'd not afraid of showing. To be honest, a day spent without a console of some sort would be hell. He can be difficult to talk to when playing a game but will usually find a convenient place to pause then continue talking. He's full of quotes people never get and can be confusing at times.
However, Taiki is also a sweet kind of boy who likes to think he can help people, no matter what the problem. He's incredibly naive and trusting but knows when to be careful. He tends to keep his emotions on the surface because he believes in being open with people but this lads to him being easy to upset and then he'll feel bad for being so easy to upset. Best to just try and keep him happy really. He likes to spend time with people and meet new friends but is also happy spending time by himself with his games. He has an active imagination and likes to explore new places so moving to Forks was a great excuse for exploring.

Fujimori Shinichiro - Otaa-san/Dad

.:History:. (We are asking for at least three paragraphs, but no more then 10)
Taiki was born into a small family consisting only of his parents and his beloved grandma Koyomi. He was always quick to pick things up and was walking but ten months, talking by nine months. However, in these nine months, the cracks that had previously been present in his parents' relationship were breaking too open. Both parents agreed that it was in Taiki's best interest for them to divorce so they wouldn't keep fighting as they had been. Taiki stayed with his father and grandma while his mother returned to Washington. The lack of mother figure in his life wasn't all that damaging for Taiki as he had his Grandma Koyomi.
Fujimori worked with multiple gaming companies such as Nintendo and Black Isle as a graphic designer. He worked hard and spent very little time at home, but he'd bring back prototype game for Taiki to try out. This was where his interest in gaming began. Throughout his childhood he wrote and spoke to his mother over the phone and she would occasionally visit. By the age of eleven, Taiki was a severe gamer and seeming as his father's work paid well, he was able to receive the means to be a more avid gamer. At thirteen, Black Isle and Forgotten Realms, two of the companies his father worked for, approached the family and offered Taiki a place in the company as a game tester. His ability to complete games quickly and analyze them appropriately qualified him for the job and he completed a small dream of his. Gaming for a living was pretty impressive in his eyes. Despite his place within the companies, he was a normal boy with a few close friends.
Taiki was fifteen when he figured out he was bi. He'd been working with Forgotten Realms at the time and was testing a new game with a friend of his. Haru was known to be bi or perhaps even gay but Taiki had no issues with his choice. They were discussing the characters they'd be cosplaying to the next expo in Tokyo when Taiki realized his attraction to certain gaming figures. He explored this further by taking more notice o the people around him. Though he wasn't attracted to any of the people around him, he noticed that he was indifferent to gender and took it into his stride, just a life experience to take under his belt and keep to himself. His father still doesn't know but his mother found out when she next visited, she escorted him and Haru to expo and caught him eyeing up a Reno cosplayer. She asked him about it and he came clean, begging her not to tell his father.
It was this instance that drew Taiki's home life to Mary-Ellen's attention. Taiki was left at home day after day to do as he pleased, gaming or looking at a computer screen 90% of the day and often staying up all night to complete games. She considered it unhealthy for a boy of his age to be so slim and obsessed with gaming. She spoke to Fujimori when visiting for Taiki's seventeenth birthday and suggested that Taiki come to Forks for a while with her. Taiki had no real choice in the matter but wasn't too distressed with the idea of a move. Until he realized it meant giving up his job with Forgotten Realms; thankfully Black Isle was willing to keep him on the team and send him the work via airmail and receive the report by email. Mary-Ellen allowed him to continue this work purely because the state of the economy is too fragile to give up such a well paying job. However, she monitors his screen time and applies rules to his activities in the house. Something he's not really used to; not that he's misbehaved but he has a bit of adjusting to do. He misses his friends in Tokyo but is determined to make more friends here and keep in touch with his previous comrades via email and instant messaging.
