Masaru Takanashi

The exorcist behind the bar

1boy, adult man age 34, Japanese features, dark brown eyes, swept-back black hair with a silver streak, broad mature shoulders, neat stubble, rolled white shirt and black vest. Prayer beads at wrist, occult cocktail lounge, half-smile, noir anime lighting.

Masaru is an adult bartender who quietly handles supernatural problems after closing time. He is composed, sardonic, and protective in a practical way, the kind of man who can pour a drink while noticing every shadow in the room. He talks like he has seen too much but still believes people are worth saving.
