Physical Appearance

Homura is fairly average height for his age, standing in around 5’8, but appears to have that of a standard, but slimmed mixed martial artists’ build, with muscular arms, and prominent chest muscles, and extremely toned legs, with prominent calves, veins usually most visible on his arms and hands. His hands and feet are very big, and he has long, slim fingers. He has a fairly long ovular face, with a strong jaw that accentuates his fairly long neck. His hair is short cropped, and curly; sitting on his head in an uncombed mass, and his skin is tanned olive as a result of his mixed ancestry. He has tired, monolid eyes, with slight bags underneath due to lack of a half-decent sleep schedule, and has a long pug nose with a bump on the mid-section of his nose bridge from one too many punches in the face. His lips are usually pursed if his expression is blank, but is usually curved up in a big smile, with prominent dimples and laugh lines on the end of his mouth. His chest has bruise marks on numerous parts of the body, mostly around the chest and neck. He has a large and noticeable birthmark on his left cheek.

 

Personality

 

Homura at his highest is a headstrong, and grounded person who prefers to have a very good idea of his motivations in life. He always appreciates whenever the solutions to his problems are simple, straight-forward, and don’t have very many strings attached; he tends to get frustrated very easily when faced with a situation he feels he doesn’t have any control over, whether it be minor or major, and finds being completely helpless infuriating, often to the point where he could get angry at someone simple choosing to be passive in a situation and let other people take care of their problems for them. It’s his source of pride, and the reason why he seeks to find a way to express this feeling in SAO after his injury, albeit he would not admit it himself. He himself has been taught that passivity gets in the way of productivity, and wholeheartedly approaches everything with this mindset.

 

Homura’s mostly a opportunist, seeking to act on his feet, and decide the best course of action to approach it while acting, and while he is never opposed to outside opinions (within reason); he’s very excitable, and often enjoying charging into combat quickly. He’s incredibly supportive of others working towards goals, willing to encourage them all the way through, especially if the pursuit is physically based, like getting in shape. He tries his best to keep a positive mindset, even in the worst of times. He tries his best to be funny around those he knows well with either dry or  but tends to be notorious for coping with anger. However, when in a fight, he will push himself to the brink, as if the goal were lying a couple of feet ahead of him, and he but a single chance to do it every time. As of recent events, he self-conscious about the way he presents himself, especially in the virtual world, wanting to get strong to show the players of SAO that despite his injury, he still can perform just as well as anyone else.

 

Background:

 

Born and raised in America, Terrence lived in a high-strung foster home for a portion of his life, often noted by his foster family of his low temper, a small result of his sensitivity about his height. Eventually adopted by Japanese immigrants Hayao and Suzuki Okumura, they channeled his anger into a medium, and gave him a direction in life through martial arts. He made use of his wide frame, and spent a majority of his life participating in tournaments and going to several donors over his lifetime as his family moved a lot. He was happy, and felt Martial Arts was a way of life for him, filling a hole in his life that he could never quite do with other hobbies, like video games.

 

However, a shift in came during the semi-finals in one of his tournaments. He was one win away from earning his black belt, but after a blow from his head dazing him in a fight, the opponent took a cheap shot at his ankle. While normally this would have been fine for the sturdy Terrence, his overconfidence led him to not rest between matches, adding further stress into his knee before the fight. As a result, this shot caused his Achilles’ Heel to tear, losing him the fight quite spectacularly. His fall from standing broke not only leg, but his own personal honor. To make matters worse, his family, their green cards having ran out, had planned to move back to Japan after winning his fight, and thus were forced to take him with them. Because of this injury, he could never practice martial arts again, and felt crushed.

 

Terrence, ever the optimist, tried his best to look towards the bright side, but found difficulty in losing his favorite sport. He found solace in his best friend Temura, whom he had been friends with in his various visits to Japan. Although a bit more technologically inclined than physically, Terrence always looked up to his character of  diligence and maturity, and sought out his help finding a new hobby. Temura was more up-to-date on Japanese games than his friend, and, owing him a favor had just the game for him. A game that may both fulfill his love of fighting, and allow him to make use of that broken leg of his. A couple of months and 3 days later, they pooled their money together and bought the NerveGear, granting Terrence not only a VR headset capable of making use of the revolutionary FullDive, but a spot in the first launch of SAO, and an opportunity to fight once more.

 

Virtues:

• Optimistic - Homura is a high-strung optimist, often always managing to find a smile on his face even in the worst of conditions that he may find himself in. He feels that approaching a situation without confidence in one’s possibility of success, or future well-being can be of great benefit, as long as the person is willing to keep their ego in check. He almost always finds some reason to laugh, and will try his best to cheer up those around him; he also can clearly tell when an atmosphere doesn’t exactly want his cheerful nature, and is willing to hold off on it.
• Steadfast - Homura can be incredibly dedicated when he sets his mind to something; especially if it’s within his own personal interest, and is one of the reasons why he plays RPGs. For hours on end he could spend his time doing a repetitive task just to commit something to memory, and is usually very focused when in a working mood. His confidence is usually hard to throw off easily, and he’s never prone to giving up, nor cracking when he can see a clear opening he can get to. However, despite his clear determination when dealing with other people, he’s willing to pack up and run if it’s someone close or someone who’s opinion he values.
• Meditative - Homura tends to be think inwardly, often needing to take some time alone to ponder his thoughts and actions. He makes use of this daily retrospective to improve upon his character, and possible future plans. He often needs some time alone, but doing so allows him to better plan around mistakes, and perform better in the future. Despite  

 

Flaws:

 

• Impatient - Often more than not, Homura tends to have a hard time waiting for something, and would much rather act than sit around waiting for something to happen. Taking notes from Leroy Jenkins himself his confidence often leads him to enter problems without thinking just on the stance that he believes he can solve it as long as he maintains a cool head, but more often than not ends up getting caught with his pants down. He finds it hard sitting down for a long time (ironically), and despite his martial arts training, isn’t very disciplined. If someone were to simply make him mad, he’d have a better chance of punching them in the face than solve it diplomatically.
• Stubborn - While open to new ideas, Homura tends to be very Steadfast in his own. It takes a lot to get him to give up on a certain point or opinion he has, and will not unless someone brings up a solution that he too believes is better than his own. He tends to hold grudges for a long time, and often never forgets anything anyone’s said to him, using it as leverage for arguments later.  It’s very hard to shake him, especially when it’s on his pride, and will stubbornly avoid something if it goes against his morals.
• Prideful - While not often openly expressing arrogance, Homura often overestimates his own abilities in combat. He takes on situations he may not entirely know the full situation about, and assumes things will be fine, regardless of the circumstance. His pride keeps him from backing down, and often leads to him fighting people who challenge him. He’s never one to turn down a fight, even if the person out levels him.
