Occupation (IRL)
Kagari's job consists of traveling for business arrangements on behalf of his company's business and financial departments. He never stays in one spot for to long, always having to travel for meetings with those from other companies.
Personality
Kagari is a bit dense when it comes to social interaction outside of his job. When talking with others, he can sometimes make blunders or miss something that's obvious to everyone but him. He mostly comes around and figures things out in the end, but it usually takes longer than he would like.
He can get annoyed pretty easily when his buttons are pushed, reacting with shouts and a scowl on his face. He's not a bad guy, but he doesn't take too well to insults. While he does get annoyed and react angrily at times, this is only one way that he reacts.
Kagari can get easily nervous or embarrassed whenever unpleasant words reach his ears, especially when they hold a certain degree of truth. An example of this would be when he's mocked by his coworkers, during the few times he sees them, for never once having a girlfriend. In situations like this, the scowl becomes replaced with slight surprise, a cringe here or there, and some reddening evident on his cheeks. He usually tries to play this off with a louder voice to claim that things are untrue, but the stutter he develops makes it quite difficult.
When it comes to emotional relationships, Kagari's a little distant. Due to past issues with family, he's never quite sure how to put what he feels into words or what to say to someone during emotional conversations. Nevertheless, he'd like to rebuild broken bridges and obtain positive relationships with others, especially with his family.
He can be easily distracted by work, due to it being all he's known his entire life. He'll leave his home without a second thought when something work-related comes up, keeping him always on the move. It's become something of second nature to drop whatever he's doing once he gets a call to fly to wherever the next meeting is.
Kagari can be quite stubborn, especially when he really wants something. This isn't in a negative way though, being more in a determined sense and not willing to easily give up. Once he has his mind set on something, he'll do everything to make it happen.
An exception to the personality trait above would be when it comes to smoking. No matter how much he tries, he cannot stop himself from taking another cigarette. He has tried over twelve times to quit.
Biography
As a child, nobody in Kagari's family ever seemed to take him seriously. Whether it was his first childhood dreams, thoughts on current affairs, or anything else that he hoped to accomplish, everyone just treated him as a kid. No matter what he did or what he thought about, it was always seemed unrealistic. No one was ever able to look past the fact that he was young.
One of his first aspirations was to become a musician. He had always loved music and was amazed that such beautiful sounds could be brought about by the imagination and have started out from nothing. His favorite of all had to be the drums, holding so much power and emotion behind each beat. This wonderful thing called music always made him feel better when others wrote him off, making him believe that he too could make sounds just as beautiful and prove to others that he wasn't just a kid.
When he told his family of his dream to become a great musician, so much enthusiasm and passion burning in his eyes, he was met with the same reaction as always. A bout of laughter, smiles on their faces as if he had just told them the joke of the year, and a pat on the head for the little boy. He didn't let this get him down, telling them that he would make his dreams come true.
It wasn't as if he just said these things and hoped they would suddenly happen, Kagari always showed drive to accomplish what he dreamed of. Even back when he was a young boy, Kagari was determined to become a musician and put in more effort than even most adults. He started out with old, unwanted equipment that he would scavenge the local landfill for hours to find and only to spend more hours cleaning off the grime and dirt. He did not sit in front of the television or go outside to play, staying in his room in order to teach himself. Realizing he wouldn't be able to learn properly by himself, he gave performances near the subways after school to earn money, no matter how terrible he sounded.
After months of scraping together whatever generous strangers would give, he was finally able to afford lessons. He absolutely loved being able to learn something he had always been aiming for and hoped that now his family could see that he was actually serious about something and would support him. His hopes were thoroughly crushed.
Now that he was older, his family no longer laughed off what he said, but they were no closer to believing in his dream. They now told him to become serious and think about an actual career, as if he wasn't already. They deemed his dream foolish and were certain that he was going nowhere in life. Even his sister, the person who he thought would always be there for him, agreed with his parents.
Years passed and Kagari was constantly at odds with his family, insisting that he stop being so childish and get on with his life. Tensions rose to the point where they couldn't even be in the same room together. Realizing that nobody would be happy unless he did what they wanted, Kagari left.
It wasn't just his dream of being a musician, they never believed in him at all. No matter what it was, they never had faith that Kagari could do anything that he set out to do. Such an event hit him hard and he held in much pent up anger.
Seeing his passion for music as the source of all that had gone wrong, he destroyed his instruments. He gave up on music completely, never playing again. Everything he had ever worked for had been reduced to nothing.
Throwing away everything, school became the primary focus in his life. He spent every day studying and doing school work, never taking time out for anything else. His entire life had changed course.
Kagari continued his education and was able to attend his first choice of university, majoring in business. He had very few friends with the amount of time he spent studying, never attending any extracurricular events or just having fun in general. Around his first year, he had even picked up his current smoking habit. Things like this continued until he eventually graduated, quickly obtaining a job at the company he works for today.
He had lost touch with his family for the longest time, missing events such as his sister's wedding. He appeared for a short time for the birth of his nephew, but left as soon as he was sure he would be healthy.
He came around a few times afterwards to check up on him, but never stayed for long on account of his sister. Work even kept him out of the country and he was content with this. It seemed that things would be this way for the rest of his life, but things quickly changed.
Recently, Kagari had received a certain phone call in the middle of the day. Before the phone hung up, Kagari was already booking a flight back home, a copy of Worlds Collide and the equipment being mailed over. Now more than ever and for the first time in years, Kagari was determined to make a change.
