HISTORY & EXTRA INFO

Shiki grew up in the life of luxury. Born to a family that were known as the next generation of musical genius. His mother and father where known as musical protege's of their time. His mother a singer, and his father a musical instrument specialist. When a young boy was born into the family everything was happy. The young child took on the appearance of his mother moreso than his father and definitely retained a more femanine form than masculine. This was just a small quirk however in the family.

Due to his families wealth, the young boy was given everything he ever desired. As soon as he was able he began taking lessons for his own musical career (as he was destined to follow his parents). By birthright Shiki was naturally good at the musical arts, having the voice of his mother and the memory to retain information about instruments like his father. His favorite however, would always be the piano despite also learning the flute and violin. The family couldn't have been happier as the young boy showed perfect signs of becoming the next protege of the family line.

That was until the young boy woke up one night to something rather strange. At the age of nine the young boy woke to a bright blonde tail and cat ears in his bathroom mirror. At first, there was no worry about it, feeling it was only a dream the young boy went back to bed. The next morning however a cry rang out in the house as a servant of the family found the new appendages on the young son. Shiki didn't really understand at this age quite what these meant and was even more baffled by the way his parents looked at him.

He futility watched as his mother cried tears into his father's chest. Almost as if they were horrified by him, while the young boy just didn't understand what was going on. It was from this moment that Shiki's life would drastically change. The family (now ashamed by their once beloved son) deprived the young boy of any outing and quickly reduced the number of staff on the estate in which they lived. Without knowing it, the young Hakaru had been sentenced to exile within his own home. In a drastic attempt to wipe their slate clean the family even staged the death of their son so no one could ever question them about the disappearance of the boy.

Despite being locked inside four solid walls Shiki continued to grow away from the world. His passion and love for music not fading either the young boy continued his tutelage on his own, though not nearly as fast as before when he had someone to teach him. The boy had plenty of time though and quickly spent his hours on such lessons to himself. It was through this that the boy happened to be noticed by a label that visited the house often, when the young boy was ushered off until he left.

Shiki had managed to record a few things that were grabbed by accident and taken by the label. This brought up questions, and the truth about Shiki was quickly revealed. His parents, angered at the boy were cruel and tried to keep him away from the man who offered him his dream. Shiki couldn't bare the lonesome anymore. Without his parents approval the now teenager found the contact number of the label and quickly called him before sneaking off of his families grounds and to a special meeting place between him and the label. Upon meeting him, the man gave the same look as his parents had upon seeing his ears and tail.

Unlike them however, he didn't give up on Shiki because of it. Instead he taught the teenager how to cover his ears and his tail, being happy he wasn't being forgotten Shiki happily did as he was told. For the next few years of his life and his early twenties Shiki was retaught how to perform and interact with people (a subject lost on him long ago). With the help of his agent and new label, Shiki rose to the top very quickly and successfully kept his secret hidden. At least, that was until he turned twenty four.

After a successful three years of touring one of the members of his staff accidentally found him without his disguises on. It was a mess, especially after all the rebellion drama. Not wishing for his career to sink, the label told Shiki that it would be best if he left. Shiki was hurt at this suggestion, but as the man had been the only kind one to him in his life he trusted him. Seeking refuge on the isle that was home to people with "true names". Shiki had never really been told about such things, only knowing about his strange appendages and a word tattoo'd across his back.

Not quite ready to be used to people Shiki took a residence pretty far out of the normal citizens of the isle, still continuing his profession under wraps. This worked out well for the blonde until it wasn't enough. He needed something to keep himself in the music that attracted him so. Upon this need, the male opened up a small music store that sold small group music to people that really loved music in general.

Opening Electric Beats was a good start for the older male, and through it he was able to slowly begin rebuilding his relationship with people. It was also a lot easier to send out his latest work to his label under the pretense he was requesting new music for the store. Everything worked out completely perfect. For the next year and a half business in Electric Beats boomed and Shiki became quite accustomed to life on the isle.

That was until suddenly someone else seemed to take up residence near to where he was away from everyone else. It wasn't something the blonde had expected.. and unknowingly to him, that something that would change his life forever.
