Physical Description

Hair

His hair is deep-red, the color of blood on its journey back to the heart. Shoulder-length when dry, it falls in loosely-spiraled layers, longer in back than in front.

Eyes

Slightly down-slanted, orange with a touch of tea-brown eyes seem to spear the subject of his gaze with disdain, or perhaps lazy mischievous-ness.

Physique

Standing at just barely 6', he is long-limbed and slender, with muscular arms. He has that inhuman agility so common to his demon brethren -- speed, limber-ness, and strength. He has this particularly odd ability to climb even a vertical face with little purchase, such as a brick wall.

Appearance

Nejireru tends to get hot easily, which because of his fiery nature results in a clear, flame-like aura similar to that of heat waves over asphalt on a hot day. To the unfamiliar eye, it gives him an angelic appearance, especially with his pale yellow skin, which under the proper light, appears to glow.

Personality

Additude

Nejireru is more disdainful of humans than his brother, Yagami. If his twin leans toward the human-half of their lineage, Re leans toward the demonic. He views them as toys or pets and likes to be adored, sometimes even worshipped by them, but has a much smaller ego than one might think. In fact, while he might pretend to be egotistical, he is often quite shameless ("evil knows no shame," as the saying goes), especially around Yagami. He is not afraid to be frank or to show his weaknesses to him, because the twins hold the highest respect and confidence in one another. Again, humans are fun to play around with (to torment and tease) -- he prefers demon lovers -- but none save Yagami are worth that level of intimacy and trust. Nejireru also has a hot temper, which makes him not only disrespectful toward humanity in general, but also very dangerous.

Hobbies

He always looks for new ways to torment his victims, and while he isn't particularly fond of dealing in death, he has been known to kill in his various journeys and quests. He reasons that it is an inevitability, and sometimes a necessity for death to occur, but why shorten the life of an already ridiculously short-lived creature anyway? However, his twin suspects that he feels as much affection for their human mother as Yagami does, just in his own ... unique ... way. Therefore, deep down, Nejireru feels a connection to other humans. Re neither denies, nor acknowledges, this possibility.

Likes and Dislikes

He absolutely loathes being used by others, especially his demon father. He is fiercely independent, and will go out of his way to defy him -- even if it goes against what Re himself wishes! As a result of this mule-like stubbornness, Nejireru more often than not ends up in big trouble, or in a situation he hates even more. If the cycle continues, or whenever he is equally irate, he has been known to lose complete control of his abilities. Worse than a tantrum, he goes numb, can hear only muffled sounds, and see only vaguely what is happening through a fog of red mist -- engulfed in intense heat, sometimes even flames. Controlled by his element, things tend to burn, explode, melt, or die during these episodes. On the other hand, Nejireru's weakness, and perhaps downfall, is his love of cute, cuddly, furry little creatures. He loves pets, remember.
