I'm open to playing regardless of icon medium, so long as it has a face I can see.

Personality: Kaede comes across as rather closed-off, even quiet around those he doesn't know. Social situations are things that he prefers to avoid, even though he does enjoy close company with friends that are dear to him. Surprise encounters tend to make him panic - especially if approached out of the blue. On the flip side, he behaves in a very approachable manner in school and the work place (areas that he feels "safe" in,) despite his generally quiet demeanor. He is quick to offer a faint (even if it's false) smile or offer assistance with certain subjects to his classmates. In terms of anger, Kaede has a fairly slow fuse. He doesn't generally see any reason to fight, and tends to try to diffuse a situation before it gets too bad.

But sometimes he likes to egg others on just to see their reactions; it's his inner troll (something that he expresses on the internet, somewhat often.)

Due to his enhanced sense of smell, he's always seen sucking on candies in order to have something else to focus on. The smell and taste of vanilla is his favorite, but he avoids candies like mint or cinnamon due to the sense of "opening up" his sinuses, even though they are powerful flavors. He is a little sensitive to pheromones on top of this.

Because he was once a hikikomori and a hoarder, Kaede has a fear of reverting to past habits. As such, he over-compensates by avoiding accumulating personal effects, even if it would be something that he'd enjoy. This is a point of embarrassment to him, who has seen others' homes and how well-lived-in they look.

Kaede also has a candid approach to sex. Since the body has such urges and is capable of it, there's no need to be embarrassed, no matter how kinky one desires it. As such, he has some fascinations with particular kinks, such as the body's reaction to pain and how it can blur into pleasure, and the short-term effects of being choked or otherwise having one's airways restricted during the act. Due to his naturally heightened sense of smell, he enjoys taking in different scents in and out of the bedroom. The groin is a particularly favorite spot for him, as well as the neck and chest area. That said, it takes awhile for him to get used to any particular taste - especially sexual fluids.

Kaede does not like looking into mirrors or other reflective surfaces. It has nothing to do with his self-image, but superstition. He believes that mirrors can consume the human soul if peered into. Evil mirrors.

Kaede's enhanced sense of smell is due to the genetic, generic type of the perceptual disorder: hyperosmia.
