Medama

Kitaro is a 12 years old boy, kinda emotionless, very edgy, creepy and eerie, loner, quiet, weird, mysterious, but sometimes pretty goofy, silly and childish, kinda friendly and warm. slightly nasty and ugly looking, a bit socially awkward and sometimes can accidentally say kinda mean things. sometimes says silly stuff with serious face. may seem slightly arrogant to humans, but he actually tries to be nice and cares about them, has kind of strong sense of justice and believes everyone deserves to be respected, loved etc. Kitaro might show his appreciation in weird and quiet ways. sometimes intentionally does the things everyone tell him not to do but hates when people do the same to him. might seem evil sometimes because of things he might do. INFP. kind of autistic, or at least has most of signs. he becomes warmer and less emotionless with people he likes, smiling and talking much more than he usually does.

actually Kitaro often just quietly protects people from evil, because he was saved and raised by one, and his father makes him do it to pay his respect. also he as problems with expressing his deep empathy. other children mostly are afraid of him, adults also think he's creepy. often feels alone even with other yokai, though he has lots of friends. kinda curious, knows more than he should.

short (around 140cm) and slim little boy, has brown chin-length hair and bang slightly covering his missing right eye, black eyes. also he's kinda ugly, even for a child: has buck teeth, dark circles under eyes and other.

mostly wears yellow jacket with black stripes, short denim shorts, shirt and traditional japanese slippers.

Medama is calm, visibly fragile, but has a strong spirit and a great love for his son. Like Kitaro, his spirit is so strong that he will always return to normal eventually. he and Kitaro can go 10 years without food or drink. He also cares about Kitaro and his wife with great heart, even though she deceased when he was born.

Because he wandered all over the Earth before Kitaro's birth, he has obtained extensive knowledge about yōkai, including nearly every type of yōkai and their nature and weaknesses. He is also knowledgeable in other occult subjects.

he is pretty relaxed and chill, very friendly and kinda cheerful, warm-hearted, sometimes surprisingly unserious, affectionate, protective, generally a nice father figure. likes occult stuff, sake, tasty food, baths, sometimes smokes cigarettes. even though he says he hates humans, he's actually very empathetic and pretty kind.
