Marchand Osamu

Overview
Osamu is the son of a popular weapons conglomerate in Taishō Era Japan. He is mixed, with his father French/European and mother Japanese. Having gained a strong position in the military due to impressive sharpshooting skills, Osamu is still discriminated against by his fellow comrades. Due to not being able to trust even some of his own people, he has trouble trusting anyone non-human. He’s loyal and slightly rough, though much more content than his partner, Yui. He’s known as the best marksman in the Japanese Military, and has a soft spot for Akira later on.

Appearance
Osamu is about 5’11” with white skin and dusty brown hair. His eyes are a rare pale blue, which is one of his defining features as he’s mixed. Quite popular with the ladies of the town, they seek after him because of his “handsome western features”. He wears casual Taishō clothing, which usually involve a button up with a tie, and traditional robes on top. He’s built like a normal soldier should be, athletic and slightly slim from gun training.

Background
Osamu is the only son of Simon and Mei Marchand. His family is quite rich, as they deal in the business of trading and supplying western items and weaponry to Japan, specifically French. Since his family focuses around specifically rifles, Osamu learned at a young age to use a gun, and has been training ever since. To keep his family's name in the military, and protect their people, Osamu joined the military and quickly took position as a powerful marksman.

He was also popular for what he was, the women who lived by the military grounds tended to visit to speak and see Osamu, he was quite a heartbreaker as many of the women around town had found him quite attractive, which prompted his fellow comrades to begin teasing and ostrasizing him.

After a few months in the military, Osamu met Yui, a female soldier who was also discriminated. She had chased away some soldiers who were threatening Osamu's life due to his Western roots. The two grew an insanely strong bond and are inseparable partners.

Personality
Osamu is a calm, loyal soldier. As he's more intelligent than the average human, he handles issues with logical thinking, and is not meddled by emotions. He treats everything warily, and during the first arch, he develops from untrusting to fully trusting in Akira. He's completely in denial of his feelings towards other men most of the time, and holds many secrets of his emotions since his personality makes him blocked off.
