#canon lore

Back in high school, Yakko was most close to Karamatsu and Osomatsu. One more than the other, evidently... That's right. He had strong, genuine connection with Karamatsu!

They could rely on each other for company and support. It was actually pretty sweet! But the eldest's relentless advances towards him + Yakko's inability to say no made Karamatsu lose hope that they'd ever get any closer than they were, so he, slowly but surely, gave up on him...

He stopped getting in Osomatsu's way. That ultimately allowed the incident to happen.

Uwawawawah I can't believe I forgot about the boys' birthday! Made this while I plan out the actual birthday drawing. Gonna be fashionably late, but I will do it, no matter how long it takes me!!!

compassion: 8/10

he's very compassionate, but doesn't really like to show it (unless absolutely necessary) out of self-preservation. usually ends up putting everyone else's needs above his own regardless.

bitterness: 7/10

prefers to bottle up his feelings and keep the mood up instead. there's things that happened to him that he buried 6ft deep and under and boy does it get ugly when they crop up.

happiness: 4/10

making people around him happy and smile is what he's really REALLY good at. when it comes to himself though? he's honestly stopped trying.

politeness: 5/10

he knows how to be polite when the situation calls for it (like dealing with the arasakas). but he prefers not being put in those situations at all, because he can't stand being around the kinda people who demand around-the-clock politeness while there's a ton of corpses rotting in their basements.

chivalry: 2/10

chivalry isn't his thing. he's good at appearing chivalrous, though. it's a hit with the guys and girls.

pride: 7/10

there's times when pride has to be left at the door and he has a good sense of knowing when those times have come. but he knows his strengths and like hell is he gonna deny those.

honesty: 2/10

lying has saved his life so many times he's lost count. there's hardly a person who truly knows him and he likes it that way. the few people who do know him, however, usually get the truth (or know him well enough to know he's not being completely honest rn).

bravery: 10/10

there's no room for fear and cowardice when you're raised by the raffen shiv. full stop.

recklessness: 10/10

it's survival at any cost. he's aiming for it with absolute unpredictability and recklessness is 100% a part of it. has to be, really. he's wedged himself into situations that he wouldn't have gotten out of otherwise.

ambition: 7/10

he doesn't get ambitious very often, but when he does he's not letting go of his ambitions until he's reached whatever he currently wants. but he's not the kinda guy who gets super competitive about something.

loyalty: 5/10

he's loyal to three people only and that's carolina, himself and whoever ends up his partner. those trust issues of his are through the roof.

love: 6/10

i've said it on another lore post of him and i'll say it here again. he's incapable of holding down relationships, he's just not that kinda guy. casual is the way to go. (will never beat the "actually wants to love and be loved romantically but doesn't know how to initiate, make that happen, OR react to it" allegations)

sense of family: 0/10

look. his father abducted him and dragged him across half a continent to make sure his mother wouldn't find him. he spent most of his childhood with the raffens. fuck his family.

(he tries not to think of other families. until jackie and mama welles he has no sense of how they work and once he does all they do is make him envious and sad.)

attractiveness: 7/10

attractiveness is a subjective thing. but he's big on personal hygiene, spends more time in front of a mirror than he'd like to admit, has a warm smile, a disarming aura, charm for twelve, and a knack for making people feel relaxed and comfortable. he'd rate himself a lot lower, though.

agility: 10/10

agility is one of his main traits and how he escapes a lot of dicey situations. he isn't tall and he isn't particularly strong without his cyberware, so he's relying on being quick and smooth. he's really good at turning his environment into an impromptu weapon.

sex drive: 14/10

that sex sure is driving. (he needs to shut off his brain for a couple hours, so please please please answer your phone)

if you're confused and wondering where the hell this tag comes from hi this is @cybernomads on main!
