[•]appearance|;

Shiro Yamamoto is a complex individual with inversely simple taste in clothing and presentation. He can usually be found wearing some sort of suit jacket with a brightly colored dress shirt underneath. He usually leaves the top button undone and almost never wears a tie; He feels they are too constricting against his neck. Despite this fact, you can usually find one tucked away in the inside pocket of his suit jacket for just in case the need for it arises. The pants he wears match his suit, and leather dress shoes cap his feet, always shimmering with a perfect sheen that comes from his constant upkeep of them. He wears a leather belt with a rather odd belt buckle; It's basically a metal plate with two characters of Kanji written on it. They are the characters for Power and Justice. Most of the time, however, these characters and the belt buckle itself are hidden beneath the edges of his untucked dress shirt.

His eyes are a very, very dark brown. In the right light, they even appear to be solid black. He has a gaze that pierces and penetrates, constantly sharp, constantly aware, never alarmed. His light pink lips hide a set of perfectly straight, shining white teeth, which he shows often with his trademark contented smile. His nose and chin are both broad and strong without being protruding or overly big. The whole picture of his face is framed with a shower of jet black hair that Shiro wears down to his collar. He only rarely styles it beyond the norm, but he doesn't really need to when the simple cut itself puts many, many waves and layers that make the whole mane look thick and rich and flowing.

To say anything more digresses from the realm of description and enters the world of long-windedness. I shall leave you with this, and I hope you do find it helpful in envisioning the character of Shiro.

[•]personality|;

It is notoriously difficult to get into the inner circles of Shiro's personal relationships, and therefore rare to see who he really is beneath the layers of aloofness he exudes without him. He cares little for the feelings of others and doesn't notice when he's being spoken to, unless it's by somebody he considers important, or the speaker is especially persistent. Or rather, that's not true. He does notice, he simply chooses to ignore. He finds it is the best way to get people to leave him alone. In a phrase, Shiro takes an approach of, "Why are you speaking? I'm supposed to be alone right now," in his dealings with others.

However, once the external mask of ice is broken, Siro changes twice that can be noticed. First, he appears annoyed. He likes being alone with his thoughts, just enjoying the beautiful sights around him, and it is considered inconvenient by him to be interrupted for such mundane things as social interaction. Furthermore, he views most people as below him due to his upbringing in one of the three richest families in Japan; In a country as crowded as you find in the far eastern countries of Japan and China, the number of people who look up to the exceedingly rich is surprisingly, annoyingly high. This does not mean that he is arrogant or snobby or stuck-up; In fact, he is quite the opposite. He sees the fact that he is so high above the common man as a responsibility and burden... Which leads me to my next point.

The second change in personality comes when a person has proven to Shiro that they are more then just another plodding detail in the endless wave of humanity that has assaulted his eyes since young age. Once a person can prove to Shiro that they are, in fact, his equal, the vissage of the high and mighty protector of the weak crumbles to make way for a warmer, friendlier person all together. This is the visage of not Shiro the Distant, not Shiro the Protector, but Shiro the Friend. The few that penetrate this far into his circle of relationships are the few that he enjoys sharing the ambient beauty of nature all about him with, and he tends to stay very close to these individuals.

There are few of those individuals.

In all of these instances, there is intelligence, there is courtesy and there is grace. However, all of this that I have just told you is meaningless; To truly get to know a character, you must spend some time playing with them to see how they act.

[•]family|;

Shiro is the only son of an exceedingly wealthy man. His family does not restrict itself to business dealings in any one market or field, but rather expands to all sorts of things from technology to clothing to cars to toys and trinkets. It makes it exceedingly easy to get whatever he wants for free. His mother is little more then a trophy wife to his father, a beautiful woman who is kept within the reach of his arm whenever he appears in public. It was the distant non-relationship between those two that taught Shiro to be so distant himself. He has no brothers and sisters.

[•]familiars name|; Iyou (Translates to Dignity or Magesty)
[•]species familiar resembles|; The Male sex of Siberian Tigers live alone and have only occasional interaction with females. When Shiro's familiar materialized, it took the same type of Majestic Loner appearance that he maintains: That of an eight-foot-long(Not including the tail), 700-pound Siberian Tiger.
