Personality.
Appare is a very selfish and straight forward boy. He lives his life doing whatever he finds is fun, even if it's something reckless that could get himself in trouble or hurt someone else. He suffers from horrible tunnel vision and hyperfixations, with his main driving force being a book called "From the Earth To the Moon". Appare is obsessed with the idea of being the first man to the moon, and so his whole life has been spent tinkering with technology and engineering all kinds of things. His tunnel vision is so bad that he doesn't eat or sleep like a normal person would. He only sleeps after staying up as physically long as possible, so he can work as long as possible. Usually resulting in him falling sleep in the weirdest positions, and nearly impossible to wake up. He also has to be given food and reminded to eat otherwise he doesn't. And when he DOES eat, he scarfs it down as physically fast as he can so he can go right back to tinkering.
He'll do anything to make sure he can finish what he's started, too. Even if it means being reckless like breaking and entering a business to steal or get a closer look at something he's inspired by. Or by driving a car so fast and insanely over huge gaps between cliffs to try and win a race.
He also can have a little bit of a temper, as he's spoiled and gets mad when people get in way of his inventions or when people insult technology. He's also VERY passionate when it comes to said inventions, and the moment he's behind the wheel of a car he's created he goes absolutely feral. Screaming and hollering, opposed to his usual quiet and deadpan demeanor.
Despite being an inventor, Appare is also quite dumb. He doesn't understand social cues at all, and he can't do anything outside of engineering/tinkering/inventing. When he tries to do something else, it never goes well. He's used a raw potato as fish bait, for example. And got himself tied up in a tree when he tried to make a trap for hunting. He's only good at what he knows, so he doesn't try anything else.

background.
The year is 1901, and a boy from Japan is obsessed with steamboats and Jules Verne's "From the Earth To the Moon". He's hyperfixated on making a rocket ship, starting by making a steam boat. Said steam boat ends up taking him halfway across the ocean, and eventually he finds himself in Los Angeles after his boat is tugged to shore.
There's a race in America with a large amount of prize money, and in order to win it and get a ship back to Japan, Appare turns his steamboat into a steam/gas hybrid car and enters the race! The whole series is about said race, which is full of death and destruction as cowboys and outlaws rule the land around them.
During the series, a usually deadpan and selfish Appare learns the value of friendship and of feeling his emotions and allowing other people to get close to him.

impressions.
visual. Appare is a short boy with thick, shoulder length hair that's coloured a raspberry-maroon and white pulled up into two messy pigtails. He's very small and cute, with a pretty face that could easily make him be mistaken for a girl. His eyes are a steely grey with a piercing stare, and he wears a hodgepodge of items. An American styled tunic underneath overalls, styled under a pink and blue haori which is tied up by large red and white ropes to keep the sleeves back. And he wears a pair of geta, along with one glove and a monocle that's usually pushing his bangs up above his right eye.
He also wears a good luck charm given to him by his older sister.
demeanor. Dead-pan and very straight forward with what he's thinking. His answers can be short and he overall seems uninterested in conversation unless it's about one of his interests.
vocals. I play Appare after the sub, so his voice actor is Natsuki Hanae, who you may recognize as he voiced Tanjiro in Demon Slayer. His voice is very soft and though he speaks in a lower register, it's quite sweet and feminine sounding. When he gets excited, his voice gets really loud and high pitched.
Here's a clip of him speaking in his normal register!
scent. He smells overwhelmingly of motor oil. And a little bit like fried food.
talents. Appare can make anything and everything he sets his mind to. He's able to make a steamboat and then turn that steam boat into a steam powered car. Which then turned into a steam and gas hybrid powered car. Which also had a booster that made the damn thing FLY so like-- he can invent anything.
But that's literally where his talents begin and end. Otherwise... he's good at driving like a maniac and good at math??

shipping. Appare is demi/aromantic so it'll have to happen extremely naturally! And he'll deny it as long as he can--
smut. He's going to sleep around to help charge up his metal powers! So ask if you'd like to do something with him! (though itll take a minute for him to warm up to the idea of sex since he's new)
flirting. Flirting is a-okay!
content warnings. None here! Appare is a pretty chill boy from a chill anime, so I can't think of anything to warn for!
