Okazaki Tetsuya

Appearance

The slouching Tetsuya often disappears into the background. In a crowd, he is quite a sloucher, which ruins his height and almost makes him average in height compared to the other Cosmic Crusaders. He has long bleached hair, the roots of which already began to turn back to his normal black color. He often wears this in a messy ponytail. He's always reeking of alcohol, and he's never seen without his messenger bag.

Personality

Tetsuya's defining characteristic is his crippling alcoholism, which causes him to act almost sedated and chill most of the time. When sober, Tetsuya has a more harsh and irritable composure. Surprisingly, Tetsuya acts relatively normal compared to others under the influence, capable of formulating arguments and discussion. He is also surprisingly dedicated and determined, willing to learn skills in order to feed his addiction.

Along with this sedation comes a level of apathy, whether in action or in morals. He doesn't fight as a Cosmic Crusader because he wants to, but because it would be more troublesome to not. that, and Tetsuya somehow hopes that giving his life purpose would pull him out of his alcohol-driven rut. 

Historical Background

Tetsuya lived an unfortunate life with deadbeat parents and intense bullying in his later middle school years. His parents left him along with his younger brother to fend for themselves, which caused Tetsuya to feel like he couldn't rely on others.

In middle school, bullies flocked to abuse Tetsuya. In the middle of giving a speech during class, Tetsuya had an unfortunate... wardrobe failure, although years later, come late middle school, the bullies quite literally forgot how this incident started their bullying spree. Finally, after being fed up with the bullying incidents tainting his middle school experience, Tetsuya acquired a wakizashi that he hid in his messenger bag, which he beat the bullies with. After that event, nobody dared to hurt Tetsuya, and Tetsuya kept his sword in his bag throughout high school just in case any bullies tried to use him as a target. He also took up kendo in case he ever needed to defend himself again.

During this time though, Tetsuya developed a dependency on alcohol in order to get through life, finding the lightheaded feeling that came with it as a good way to get through his tough life. However, limited in the quantity of alcohol that he could access, Tetsuya instead turned to brewing his own beer and making his own alcohol in his house. Unable to kill his dependency in high school and frustrated by the low quality of alcohol, dedicated his time to researching and experimenting with brewing, to the point where Tetsuya developed a repitoire of brewing skills that would provide him with an instant job come graduation... as long as his braincells were still intact.

His life seems to be turning a new leaf. Tetsuya has great friends in high school, and his mother was having a larger part of their family, making Tetsuya finally feel capable of letting go from the burdens of life for once.
