Character: Issei Ryudo
Fandom: Fate/stay night
Character Notes:
History: History, what history? Well, there's all this stuff about magi and a holy grail and heroic spirits going on in the background, but none of that is remotely relevant to Issei!
Things that are relevant to Issei: he was born as the son of the owner of Ryudoji Temple in Fuyuki, Japan. He has every intention of becoming a monk; in the meantime, he's the student council president at his high school. Most of his time in canon is spent worrying over his best friend, Shirou Emiya; we hear from him that he's very popular with girls in the school, but luckily for Issei's dignity, we never see that onscreen.
There are a few tidbits of history we get - he has considered one of the teachers who lives in his temple with him a brother for three years, and his hated rival Rin Tohsaka (he considers her a rival, she barely notices him) used to be in the same student council with him. But most of his role is to provide exposition, bring out defining character traits in others, and freak out that one time it looked like he might be a significant character with relevance to the plot and Shirou told him to strip. (It made complete sense at the time to Shirou, but from Issei's perspective, it was his best friend ordering him randomly in the middle of lunch to take off his clothes, and then doing it by force. And then acting like nothing at all happened later. What even was going on there.)
Did I mention he was a minor character?
Personality: Normally, Issei presents a fairly calm and responsible front. He works diligently as student council president, grumbling good-naturedly about his fellow council members who don't work as hard as him. His friends don't remember him ever missing a class. He drinks tea in the morning, reads poetry, follows his family's heritage as monks (even going so far as to want to shave his head after graduation), and generally is a well-behaved, polite young man.
A few things raise his ire, and when they do, he gets well and truly pissed off. His rival Rin, for example, has earned his enmity for manipulating the entire school into believing her false 'perfect student' impression. He won't hesitate on taking a chance to keep people away from her, or to strike at her if there's an opportunity... unfortunately, she always has the upper hand.
An issue more important to him is the matter of friendship. He only seems to have one real friend, Shirou, but he treats him warmly and with great care. He's always looking out for Shirou, warning him away from dangers like Rin and being taken advantage of for being too much of a doormat. When Shirou misses just one day of school, Issei arrives at his home bearing fruit for the supposed sick student. Issei is always blushing at him and places a great deal of weight in his opinion and happiness.
While Issei tends to be shy and cold towards people he doesn't like, and he's a little more wary around women due to his teachings, particularly beautiful women can break through that. Caster he speaks well of, and Saber he trusts instinctively despite her being in Shirou's home (a massive problem for overprotective Issei).
He's also a dork who can quote poetry and may or may not have a system for working out where to eat school lunch based on if he coughs in the morning. And he's extraordinarily tactile, often grabbing onto Shirou without warning.
Finally, he doesn't believe that normal people should get involved in things above their heads, and he's a normal person.
Other: There will be some resets, but by and large I'll be playing him with his CR and development intact.

First Person (entry type): Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like the community.
All right, it's true that I hate it for much of the time. Viruses. Romantic viruses. When it has every intention of ruining my life, then I hate it as much as any of you do, and well I should.
However, it's much easier than getting normal friends. I do have some, mostly monks... But even they hardly count as normal now, do they? When they could be affected by any virus that hits me, and they know it, it's not fair to call them average people.
...Hm. I wonder if it's moral to bring average people into your inner circle and subject them to this. What do you think?
Third Person: Issei was ticked off. Not only that, but he was mad.
This was the immediate problem. Buddhism was not generally encouraging of getting mad. It served no purpose whatsoever, and was a poison to the self.
After he calmed down as best he could, however, the fact remained that there were muddy footprints all over the temple floor.
How childish. How rude. No monk would possibly do such a thing. Who could have forgotten to switch their shoes, and in a holy place to boot (no pun intended)?
"It is natural for the immature to harm others. Getting angry with them is like resenting a fire for burning." Obviously he was dealing with someone who didn't even know how to be polite, so he had no reason to stew.
Still, Issei had to correct this immediately, or who knew how many floors might be ruined. It was time to seriously investigate matters among the friends of his who might drop by unexpectedly.
