P.O.V. Third person
Severo Tornincasa has been fascinated in ghouls ever since he was 9 and heard about an uprising of ghouls in Tokyo. He was interested in a particular ghoul nicknamed Eyepatch who was all over the news and extremely strong and deadly. Severo did his research and learned that ghouls have a predatory organ that comes out of the back or shoulder most of the time and functions as a weapon that is called a kagune. Eyepatch's kagune consist of 4 velvet ribbon like tentacles that were incredibly sharp. He also learned that ghouls eat human flesh to live. From then on he dreamed of studying ghouls. By the time he was 11 he knew all 4 types of kagune and their characteristics. For some reason he was interested in kagunes. He didn't know why and he didn't really care.
In his free time he would try to find anything related to ghouls. If he did and it was connected to Eyepatch, he would be all over it for weeks. He was a shut in at home as well as school. He was the perfect student, straight A's, perfect attendance, didn't interrupt, but he hid a dark secret behind his perfect little goodie goodie act. His ghoul "hobby" became an obsession.
He kept to himself besides his best friend Luke Tsukiyama. For a son of italian immigrants that came to America, he has a great best friend. Luke's step-father, a japanese immigrant, rushed Luke's mother into marriage so he could become an american citizen faster and insisted on changing Luke's last name to his own. When Severo was at school he never let anyone near him afraid it would interfere with his studies, but on one day Luke came up to Severo and saw him reading a book called "Tokyo's Mysteries". Luke pointed out that his step-uncle, Uuna lives in Tokyo and that he had gone and seen Uuna himself. From then on Severo had one friend and only one friend.
Severo by any means was fairly handsome, golden hair, chiseled chin, emerald green eyes, square rimmed glasses, and always wore cargo pants. So girl's tried to get close but all failed. Luke was three years older than Severo because Severo skipped several grades.
By the time he was 16 he was in college studying Humanities so he could one day study ghouls. By now his obsession with ghouls had evolved into an obsession with kagunes. He dreamed one day that he himself might have a kagune. Luke went to the same college as Severo to become a surgeon.
Luke was well aware of his friend's obsession and he even developed a bizarre one of his own. Luke believed it was possible to take any organ from a ghoul and put it in a human and make a semi-ghoul. It was a long shot ,but it was all he had. If his assumption was wrong, he had thrown his life away. Luke had never told Severo his belief, afraid it would drive Severo insane. They both graduated, top of their class.
Luke knew japanese because he lived with his step-dad. So he taught Severo to read, write, and talk in the strange language. They both had saved money up from their childhood and had well over the cost of a plane ticket, a cheap apartment, and food. They parted from their families with ease, for the two young men were never really close to their families. They both got on a plane and left Idaho and The States forever.
