Profile: Rei


Name: Rei (though his real name is Raphael Gramont)
Name meaning: Departed soul, ghost
Type: Luts MNF BW Chiwoo
Age: 13 when he died. Has "lived" about thirty years after his death.
Race: Zombie.
Nationality: Regards himself as Japanese, but is actually French.
Sexuality: Asexual, but doesn't mind being close to pretty much anyone.
Eyes: Grey (though they used to be brown).
Hair: Grey/white, short (though it used to be light brown).
Distinguishing features: White skin, everything else in grey tones. Is quite clearly not alive.
Clothing style: Greys, whites and blacks. Almost always wears the same oversized hooded jacket and striped socks and nothing else.
Occupation: None, pretty much just wanders around aimlessly.
Lives in: Mainly The Plains, though he wanders around.
Likes: Haruhiko - who is really his only friend. Plushies, blankets, animals; all things fluffy and cute. The darkness, being taken care of, being loved.
Dislikes: Being alone, being cold, wandering. People who hunt him or make fun of him.
Personality: Solitary, doesn't speak much. Intelligent in his own way even if he never really has an opportunity to show it. Longs to be loved and cuddled.
Relationships: Carries around the skull of Naki, his dead father. Sort of friend/boyfriend of Haruhiko's. Sort of lives with Kai and is dependent on him.

History: Nobody knows what Rei's life was like when he was alive - not even himself. Somehow dying made him lose his memories of his life, and now he's haunted by the wish to get those memories back. He has been searching for himself for years already; he's not really sure just how many years it has been, seeing as he doesn't have the capability to tell time like normal people. He doesn't quite know how old he's supposed to be, doesn't quite know how long he's been "living" the way he has now, doesn't quite know why he's always carrying around the skull of someone he thinks is his father. When he "woke up", the only thing that was there, was the skull and a necklace with the initials R. N. engraved.

Through his “investigation”, Kai has managed to uncover Rei’s past, though he still hasn’t told Rei about the things he found out. He now knows that Rei’s real name was Raphael Gramont, and that up until he was eight, he lived a relatively normal life with his mother and father, in a bookstore located in The Slums. However, when Rei was eight, his mother died.
