IM CHANGING DIS TO MY OC DUMP OK
nasi (rice in malay)
age: adult
job: opera singer/teacher

im not sure about his lore yet but opera taught him to be more confident with himself and explore what he truly is. hes a loser in the past (subject to change) and opera singing made him more confident. you cant be born with talent in opera, so it truly made him feel worth something ^_^ his style is mainly vkei, but he'll wear anything as long as its comfortable. his personality is 🫩 this emoji. hes just a tired teacher tbh
**characteristics: **
hes really monotone and awkward out of opera. he never learned how to express himself as a child and often had to attend classes just to be more "expressive". his speaking voice is very girly and quiet, people often dismiss him in conversations because he's that unimportant. however, on stage, he has a very deep commanding baritone voice. this is because singing taught him to translate his emotions.
why opera?
one day nasi was desperate to find a job after graduating and he found an easy one. he had to be a mascot for a show. seems easy right? just wear a suit and nobody will know who you are. just stand there. but what they didn't tell nasi was that he had to sing. so on stage, he just sang whatever he could, and it sucked a lot, but he felt alive. he found that, by hiding everything but your voice, it could still be him. nothing but his voice, but still loved and adored by all! he becomes obsessed with opera, researching everything about it, and doing gigs here and there until he finally landed a professional one under an anonymous name (that only his employer knows who he is)
his performing outfit is a tuxedo and a mask, and off stage as the "teacher" his students dont know hes that popular opera singer. his students. are like, why do u sound like xx, and hes like... idk! do your work! and his students are like. geez this emo ass teacher.
random stuff:
when receiving a gift, he'd accept it shyly. stammering with thank yous, and hed treat it with much care. i like to think that he has a whole shelf just for gifts and trophies, even small things like bracelets.
his favorite snack would probably be something like mint chewing gum. the chewing keeps him focused, while the mint keeps him awake.
when receiving compliments off stage, hed try to make a smile but it looks really, really forced. his hands show his emotions more. the more movement there is, the more excited he is.
nervous habits... making a whole story with his hands. whispering to himself when stressed. randomly doing vocal warmups when nervous. adjusting his glasses a lot when happy.
public praise doesnt faze him. he feels kinda out of touch with public praise because noone actually knows the true, monotone him, off stage but he still accepts them nonetheless. he tries to keep up a charismatic image (subject to change because honestly i want to embrace his awkward side more)
