#my boy and his fucked up family sakjdfhkgdlf

[legendary-assassin-stance]

3, 4, 5, and 8 for Noriaki <3

3. What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go?

Most of Noriaki's income (what he gets for helping people around New Kaineng / Arborstone with... a myriad of spirit / ghost issues) goes to food for himself, Orion, and the pets -- however, he does tuck some away whenever he can just in case of emergencies; his parents taught him money management very early on, so he tends to be the more responsible one between him and Orion lol

4. Do they have any scars or tattoos?

He has Shiro's Mark on the entirety of his back; he's had it since birth, but it's only been recently (since Shiro accidentally got bound to him during his botched summoning ritual) that it's started to glow a fiery-red whenever he uses his spirit-channeling / ritualist abilities.

The only other person to ever have this mark in the family was Yūki, unsurprising since he was the direct son of Yūma and Shiro all those generations ago, so Noriaki having also been born with it was a.... very big point of contention within the family while he grew up, whether it was a good or bad sign of things to come.

5. What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?

The most recent reason was Yūma appearing from the Mists; it was... definitely overwhelming to meet his ancestor, the reason his family line even existed, and be able to actually talk to him. (He'd never say it out-loud, but it was also so fucking relieving to have someone who could rein Shiro in from picking fights with Orion, Viktor, and Archemorus.)

8. Describe the place where they sleep.

His room at home is very bare-bones and only really filled with books and the talisman tools that his family employs for their rituals. Now that he's moved in with Orion, it's mostly Orion's stuff that decorates their room, though Noriaki has started to collect odd-end books once in awhile, as well as picking up another talisman kit from Kaineng.

10. What objects do they always carry around with them?

Other than a few assorted emergency talismans, the one thing that now no longer leaves Noriaki's person is a small, metal bell adorned with jade beads on the cord that he keeps tied to his belt -- it's what Yūma "bound" himself to, so he could freely wander the mortal realm and manifest if necessary.
