Izumi's canon appearances

Ensemble Stars! is a mobile game wherein the player is a female second-year student transferring into the esteemed Yumenosaki Academy which used to be an all-boys school famous for creating popular idols until she came along as the first student enrolled in the producer course. Facing the fact that the school is not what it seems to be, the player decides to help a newbie unit who wanted to rebel against the school's corrupt unit system and change everything from here on out.

I have compiled links of everywhere Izumi has appeared in that has been translated so far, and I will also be relating canon instances in his personality section to elaborate his mindset further. Though if you do have any questions or if I need to make a more detailed history, please let me know.

Character Personality:

- MEAN: Put simply, Izumi Sena is a bitch. His only indicated hobby in his official description is "bullying underclassmen", and it shows in his interactions with his juniors in the school - he's relentlessly harsh to Knight's youngest member, Tsukasa, and is just as cruel to fellow third-year Nazuna, who looks very young for his age. He's not without his short temper, often complaining that something is "So annoying!" if things don't go his way, to the point of it being a catchphrase of sorts for him. Cold-hearted at best and an absolute asshole at worst, no one really knows whether Izumi does like a person right off the bat since he's that critical towards most people, especially since he can be needlessly petty at times just to prove a point. He doesn't care if people hate him back though, as they're only getting in his way in the end.

- LOVESICK: If Izumi's not being a dickhead towards somebody, he'd most likely be a huge lovelorn creep towards his only exception - Makoto Yuuki, the bespectacled second-year in the protagonist unit, Trickstar. Izumi's absolutely enamored with the boy, who used to be a model as well before they entered Yumenosaki Academy. While his obsession with Makoto is partly grounded on wanting Makoto to call him "oniichan" again like in their child modeling days, the way he drools over him implies that he wants to be in a relationship. Izumi would drop everything just to take candid photos of Makoto from afar, to scoop him up in his arms, to threaten the player character that he'd throw her, Makoto, and himself off the school roof if they'd start confessing to each other right in front of his salad. It has also gotten to the point that he'd considered a first year, Yuta Aoi, as his liable replacement if Makoto isn't available.

- GUILT: Izumi is not a very good person, that much we know. That said, he is very remorseful of the things he'd done, and not just for being a bitch and a creepy stalker. Once upon a time he made Knights with one Leo Tsukinaga, a certified musical genius who had expressed how much he loves Izumi, but Izumi was oblivious to all of it until it was too late; the war broke out, and Leo's loyalty towards him was his own undoing to the point of becoming a shut-in because of it. And while Leo did come back, Izumi's still wracked in guilt for not being able to protect his king as a Knight. Consequently, due to his overbearing nature towards Makoto and stifling atmosphere of the modeling industry, Makoto also states that it's Izumi's fault that he wasn't able to shine in the present. Because of this, Izumi's began to to think that people are fragile, and that he should protect them no matter what - so that he can finally forgive himself for his past transgressions. He said that this is something that he cannot heal from, since the people he'd hurt had suffered so much more.

+ DEDICATED: While Izumi can be rather full of himself when it comes to his idol activities, he does have the talent to prove that he's not just some pretty modelface. Eichi had once described him as someone who uses his own complexes as a driving force, and it shows at how he'd worked his ass off in the modeling and idol worlds - two industries which can take a toll on one's self-esteem if not careful. Izumi is also one of the standouts in the academy who actually worked their ass off instead of lazing about and relying on the school's name to get them anywhere in their future much like the majority of the rotting student council during the days of the fabled War. He's rather passionate with his hobbies too, be it modeling or ballet, and is willing to teach anyone who's able to endure his perfectionism.

+ CARING: Ultimately, Izumi cares so much for other people to the point of overprotection, like how his parents raised him. His indicated hobby may be bullying, but he explained in one story that it's his way of pampering people - to make them strong enough to survive the grueling industry that they find themselves in, because if one is unable to fight him off, they're simply no match in a career that'll rip them in shreds if unprepared. Arashi also notes how he's good with little kids back when they were still working in the same modeling agency, and how he's always there to lend an ear and a hand to those in need, just like a knight. And yes, he's been called a tsundere a lot of times because of this, much to his chagrin.

+ LOYAL: His devotion to Leo - who'd seen something special in him during those arduous times in the War - is unparalleled, which wasn't so obvious during the early months of the year when he'd wanted to leave Knights while he was suspended from idol activites because of his kidnapping stint that he'd pulled during the DDD. Despite talks that he should've been the king of Knights for his professionalism, Izumi would rather follow Leo's lead as its unpredictable king, and took up the mantle while the latter's MIA for personal reasons while promising that he will duel on his king's behalf. He'd also learn to fight for his fellow Knights as well, and his friends that he's warmed up to in later months. Izumi may talk and act as if he's a sword that only exists to hurt people, but in due time he will realize that he's more than capable of loving and protecting someone.

Character Abilities:

- IDOL: as a member (and former temporary leader) of Knights, Izumi excels in singing, dancing, and performing on stage in front of large audiences. Knights in particular are well-known for their fanservice, so he plays that up to a certain extent, as he's able to appear gallant and chivalrous to his fans despite his terrible personality towards his fellow idols.
- MODEL: Working in the industry since he was a child, Izumi knows the ins and outs of modeling and was looked up to by his fellow idol models because of his experience and passion for this career, despite taking a hiatus. He also knows how to apply makeup because of this.
- BALLET: His specialty. He took ballet in the past and was able to teach the basics of it to his fellow knights and another unit for the school festival. He's noted to have a flexible body because of it.
- CULINARY: His other specialty. Izumi's a superb cook, to the point where the school's kitchen vie for his sweets despite his dislike for them. He prefers eating his own homemade food to keep a closer eye on his diet as well.
- KNITTING: He just does. He made a nice dinosaur plush for one of his younger unitmates and a scarf for his beloved Makoto. It's cute, okay.
- MISCELLANEOUS: Apart from the aforementioned, Izumi knows basic first-aid (for taking care of Makoto during their modeling days), and is quite a decent ice-skater as shown in the Dance of Ice gacha. Izumi's quite a busybody like this.

Items: his smartphone, DSLR camera, and an iPod full of Leo's compositions.

Imprint

You may provide *up to three options* for your initial imprint. If you do not use all three, you may delete the extra space. We recommend including at least one scenery imprint.

Imprint Type: Scenery
Summary: The city of Florence of modern-day Italy.
Full Details: The layout of the city calls back to the Roman era, where it used to be a garrison, but the majority of the city is built during the Renaissance which reflects in its European architecture and art. Its most famous landmark is the Duomo, the domed cathedral of the city, though it is also known other iconic sights such as the Galleria dell'Accademia that homes the statue of Michelangelo's David, and the Giardino delle Rose, a rose garden that boasts a wonderful view of the city itself. The river Arno flows through the city, and even its bridges hold just as much history value.

Wiki link here because I'd probably just reiterate everything for a city I've never been to, and although I do expect that the city won't manifest entirely and in mint condition, those are the famous main attractions that I wish that would make it into the game.

Aside from being a grade-A asshole, Izumi has had a history of locking someone up for days with no food, along with stalking them on a regular basis. This doesn't crop up much these days since I've taken him from a much later canonpoint where he's found his chill, but feel free to comment down there if you don't want to thread with him for whatever reason.
