Aikawa Artem - General Personal Chef

aikawa artem is a unique presence in the military base, starting there by completing the mandatory military service of 3 years as a nurse, no need to serve time as a soldier, if you already completed medical school early with flying colors, and then later being hired as a personal chef, his life is weirdly interlinked with that of others in my story, crossing paths together more than once. artem is monotone and quiet, blunt when he has to be, and very mysterious in a way.

the cutting of the meat, butchering the victims for hisahito's pleasure. he plays music on his old golden record player, taking bits and pieces before the bodies get cremated. artem is cold and calculated in a way of not being bothered by the sins hes commiting. he has seen so many horrific things in his life, it almost doesnt phase him anymore.

its hard to get into his head, but his natural reliability, honesty and mature demeanor makes him weirdly likable. people gravitate towards him even if hes not trying. and hes not really aware of it. hes not a social person, but hes not unfriendly either. hes just.. there. doing his job, keeping to himself mostly. hes just kind of weird in a way that idiots are drawn to him !

hes kind of an interesting case. he radiates a sense of akwardness around him, in the way he holds his body, the way he never looks people in the eyes, akward speech patterns, but hes actually very friendly and well liked. in a strict place to be, someone kind and honestly, straightforward is really appreciated. he has a weird counting habit. everything he does revolves around the number 3, which makes him a little weird, but its possible to look past this. he is quite inteligent too and has a gentle aura to him. he loves talking about anatomy, thats when he gets extra chatty. he has a diagnosis for autism and also for OCD

demeanor

he is friendly and kind, although he has a monotone voice and does not try to force his voice into something its not. hes always upfront and honest, he tries not to lie unless its for the greater good. the way he holds himself is a little akward sometimes, he keeps his hands to his body in certain ways, and has an uncanny look in his eye. he even has a montone expression, not pulling many faces, and the few expressions he has arent very... expressive. he does have this safe aura around him, and he gives off the vibes that he is a reasonable person surrounded by a bunch of crazy people.

temperament

he can tolerate a lot, although when his little specific things get ruined, he can get overstimulated and take out his frustration through yelling. when he sees something so incredibly ridiculously insane, he might go into a fit of laughter, which can be uncanny for those who know him to be someone with a flat affect.

social

he is tolerant, friendly for the most part, and seems like someone who is very reasonable and very trustworthy. his presence makes you feel safe. if he was your nurse, you would probably trust him with your medical secrets, and not feel judged by him. alot of people like him, but he doesnt have many people he calls his friends. infact, his best friend is actually someone who really gets on his nerves.

intellect

very smart ! he enjoys reading books and id say hes more intelligent than most. he believes in common sense and thinks its silly not everyone has the same common sense he has. because of his logical outlook in life, he uses his brain more than his emotions. one thing he absolutely cannot get a grasp on, is technology. he didnt have a phone for the longest time untill eonz bought him one, and he still doesnt know how to make his laptop turn on when its out of battery.

strengths

becides his obvious strenghs like being an amazing cook and being a very intelligent medical expert, he is a really rational and logical thinker, he would be good at helping somebody calm down if they were thinking irrationally or dare i say... manically (ahemeonzahem) . he would also be a good mediator in conflict. overall, hes mentally strong for not letting people get to him.

flaws

i guess he cannot help it, but i would say his biggest flaw is sadly his OCD. its basicaly a part of him that rules his entire life. because of his particular nature, he is unable to do alot of things and experiences alot of hurdles because he physically cannot scratch the itch in his brain preventing him from doing something unless it fits his compulsions

motivation

he doesnt have a motivation to be honest. he went to school purely because he promised his mother on her deathbed he'd take care of people, and he fully planned to live his life supporting his father while working in a hospital after he came home from military service, it was eonz who took him against his will and completely enriched his life, now hes happy doing a variety of things and would not want to go back to such a mundane life like waking up > working a long shift > making dinner for himself > going to bed.

hobbies

he enjoys reading books, he reads a wide selection of them, but especially books about bodily anatomy, which is his special interest. he also listens to music, but only on a record player, he periodically asks eonz to order new records for him to listen to in his room. he also really enjoys cooking, at first it didnt mean much to him, but with time it really turned into something he enjoys thoroughly.
