Nureta Taoru

"Episode 1"

Nureta Taoru is an NPC played by Red Rose in Slumbering Power.

He is a student of Kōtōgakkō High School.

Description
Nureta Taoru is a slender man, normally dressed rather plain and casual. He's somewhat unfit but still very skinny, allowing him to make most utility of his body's shape to move in the water.

He has bold brown eyes and messy brown hair. Normally he would act as a face in the crowd, but in his Swim Club, he sticks out as one of the only non-inherently aquatic races.

Personality
No matter how one looks at it, Nureta is a more reserved personality. At least, opening up isn't in his nature. It isn't until Tim Brookes tries to help him stay afloat before he actually speaks to him.

It seems he is innately not a competitive spirited man and likely applied to the swim club as a recreational activity. Though, he is devoted to what he puts his mind to- It's clear that he actively works to put himself on the same level as the more aquatic races alongside him without ever intending on fully surpassing them.

Tim Brookes
Tim took special notice to Nureta when he first began struggling to keep up with the other races. Believing in him, they began training together as though it's like a father-son experience. Tim dubbed him, "Nemo" since he needs a little help. Yokaihina Onigashima, whom has less faith in Nureta, dubbed him "Tam" and calls the duo, "Tim Tam", as "Tam is nothing without you, Tim".

Yasashĩ Nami
Yasashĩ hadn't directly interacted with Nureta herself, but she had found humor out of seeing him try his hardest, either she sees it as endearing and funny or she may be slightly salty about not having made the swim team when Nureta had.

Yasashĩ, without a doubt, has her eye on his progress.

History
The history and general background to Nureta's upbringing and past is completely unknown.
