OOC: Background and Shit
Character Name: Shishido Ryou
Nationality: Korean/Japanese
Age: 21
Rank: A (still working towards that S)
Appearance/Personality: Shishido has long dark brown hair that he normally wears tied back. On occasion, he has been known to cut it all off then grow it long again just out of sheer boredom. He's on the short side, just barely hitting 5'8". He definitely up for his stature with his bravado and cocksure attitude. He is pretty laid back in general and takes things in stride, not letting people see him worn down (if he can help it.) He doesn't like when people who can't back up their talk with action and isn't afraid of letting them know it (even if it means he'll get a reprimand.)
History: Shishido's family has been in the butler business for as long he can remember. Because of this, he was raised to join in this tradition and went to schools to groom him for the eventuality of being someone's butler. Even though he was the second son, he knew he would still take up the mantle even though he really wasn't keen on doing so. He kind of just wanted to do other shit. Like flirt with people and not be a walking encyclopedia on proper table settings.
Regardless of his personal feelings, he couldn't say no when he was presented to his first charge. Oshitari Yuushi was... eccentric and that was putting it mildly. Not that he didn't mind. Having some stuffy old man or prissy bitch wasn't really his cup of oolong tea. Yuushi was the best person Shishido could have every been paired with. He worked hard to be the best he could be with his refined, but dramatic lord. Said master didn't mind too terribly when he was on the snarky side to the more prestigious lords and butlers as long as it was within reason. His time with Oshitari gave him certain freedoms that he wouldn't have with another.
But then he disappeared. Off on some quest to find himself. Shishido wasn't allowed to go and really, he should have expected as much. Oshitari was always a free spirit and didn't enjoy all the shit that came with being the only son of a filthy rich man. So Shishido just kind of drifted for a bit, losing touch with most of the people he had grown to know over his life at Lioncrest. He did random butler gigs for a few hot chicks, but nothing stuck (mainly because he frequently crossed the "do not sleep/fall in love with your mistress" rule and left before he could be found out and lowered in rank.) Not that he cared much, rules were for sticklers like Sanada (the biggest rule breaker of them all) and he wasn't going to get his S-rank because of having a stick up his ass.
He kept up on his training, taking the requisite tests to advance his rank. He rose from a B (finally lifting his subservient area) to an A. Shishido was only a few S ranks away from being the best when he decided to go back home for a spell and think about what he really wanted to do. Being a butler was all he had known, the skills he had learned would come in handy if he ever went into the service business, but he couldn't see much beyond being the best mixologist (aka bartender) in Japan. It was a rather shallow goal given his former positions.
So he came back to Tokyo after a long respite back at his family's place in Seoul. While flipping through the paper at the academy board, he came across a private ad for a maid to one of the newest pop stars rocking the Japanese market. Well, he wasn't exactly a maid, but he could rock a frilly French outfit if necessary. He would apply.
