1-I’m hoping to see why he has the “Sardine” nickname in the Backstory or Relationships. Interesting Team Name choice.

2-Checking on the  BMI scale, it classifies him as “underweight,” SYUTK. I even did it with the Metric units you provided for a more accurate look. He must have an extraordinarily good metabolism, since he would have to have close to 0 fat content to show that. Well that, or he’s skinny enough that he’s defined.



3-Given a few of his traits, I’m getting a Holden Caulfield vibe from him, which if that gets explored more, is quite fascinating.



4- I’ll assume that bullet point is his true reason for wearing what he does.



5-Mask raises a few questions, which I’m sure you’ll explain later on.

1) Nothing really big. No one would take a name like "Sanguine" seriously, much less someone like Rubicon, so it just gets replaced with "Sardine" as a mockery since (at least to me) it sounds similar.

Assuming, of course, that Sanguine is really supposed to be pronounced San-geen and not San-gah-een, and that Sardine is pronounced Sar-deen and not Sar-dine.

2) Edgy anime pretty boys are generally waifish-looking. Skinny as hell. Sometimes still having quite the musculature anyway. It's easier to count the ones that aren't skinny as hell or have a seemingly well-built body.

3) Holden who?

4) It's mostly because it's cool. The bullet points are meant to be "that was bullshit, this is the truth" about him.

5) What questions?

6) They were basically the same, actually. First time he found a Grimm Mask, put it on, was mistaken for a WF member, got arrested. Second time he put on his own mask, which was similar enough to a Grimm Mask for basically the same events to repeat themselves.

7) Well, nothing says Semblances must be completely viable. Maybe not useless, but not some perfect completely-useful thing either.

8) That's kind of the point; he really shouldn't, it's design makes it better to show off than to actually fight with it. Like ceremonial swords: Too heavy and big to be worth it in a real battle.

9) The latter.
