History Characters / TokyoBabylon

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Seishirou uses his veterinary practice for magical purposes - the backlash of his spells strike the animals instead of himself, often killing them in utterly careless cruelty.]]
** Also, just as Subaru [[spoiler: realizes his love for Seishirou]], the latter beats him to a pulp. He simultaneously explains, while breaking Subaru's arm and kicking him around the room, that despite [[spoiler: his previous assurances of love]] he really feels nothing for anyone.

* KickTheDog: If you needed more reasons to consider the Sakurazukamori so evil, [[spoiler:his job as a KindlyVet is all a deliberate act on Seishirou's part.]] He uses the most sickly of the animals in his care as [[PoweredByAForsakenChild sacrificial decoys]] to deflect the negative splashback that his magic would otherwise cause on him.

* DreamWalker: Revealed to have this power in ''Manga/X1999''.

* ScaryShinyGlasses: Sometimes Seishirou'll deflect his observations and probing with this...

* EvilIsSexy: Oh ''yes''.

* [[spoiler: KindlyVet: This is all a deliberate act on Seishirou's part. He uses some of the animals in his care as [[PoweredByAForsakenChild sacrificial decoys]] to deflect the negative splashback that his magic would otherwise cause on him.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Shotacon}}: During their very first meeting when 18 year old Seishirou starts the Bet, his behavior to 9 year old Subaru is drenched in this. [[FetishFuel Considering it's CLAMP though...]]]]

* EyeScream: The very first CLAMP contribution!

* EyeScream: The very first CLAMP sufferer!

* AffablyEvil: He's always polite, even with his preys.
* AllTakeAndNoGive: He turns out to be like this to Subaru. [[spoiler: [[Manga/{{X1999}} Fuuma eventually tells Subaru much, much later - Seishirou is a very selfish man]].]]

* DissonantSerenity: And how!

* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler: Seishirou as the Sakurazukamori, though it was fairly obvious on purpose from the beginning.]] What wasn't as obvious was just how brutal he really is.

* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler: Seishirou is certainly is very touchy-feely with Subaru, and always knows where he happens to be, and always leaps to his protection. He does literally spy on him constantly with onmyoujutsu, and grows increasingly possessive of him. Despite all this, the Sakurazukamori still [[BlatantLies claims he feels nothing toward him.]]]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Played with. [[spoiler:Seishirou's]] identity was practically an OpenSecret.

[[caption-width-right:245:[[labelnote:Spoiler in this image.]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ss.png[[/labelnote]]]]

* {{Agent Peacock}}: He's sweet sixteen, blushes at just about anything and wears outrageous outfits courtesy of his sister; he has the face of a very pretty girl, large Green Eyes; his build is small and skinny and he is the youngest head ever of the Sumeragi Clan; the most powerful onmyodo users in Japan, next to their rivals the Sakurazuka Clan. He's very compassionate and gentle true - but kicks serious ass with his impressive spiritual powers and exorcisms. There's a reason why at 16 he's the head of such a renowned clan.

* TallDarkandHandsome: He's incredibly good looking both with and without his glasses.

* AngstComa: [[spoiler:He becomes catatonic after Seishirou attacks him.]]

* EntendreFailure: Subaru isn't very good at getting innuendoes, so unless someone makes the point straight to his face, he will be as lost as a kid. That's why Seishirou is so blatant and and straightforward in his proclamations of love, to the teen's embarrasment.

* WaifProphet: Subverted. Though Subaru looks waifish and mild, he is a combat-trained black belt. In volume six, he nearly breaks the arm of some punk who was harassing a blind man, and scares off the rest of the punk's friends with a look.
** His stature is pretty slight, but his main problem is that he often just doesn't take care of himself (such as forgetting to eat), particularly when he gets really busy (which is all the time).

* BigSisterInstinct: Despite Subaru being the more powerfully magical of the two. She threatens to kill Seishirou if he hurts Subaru and she's only half-joking.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: With Subaru, of sorts. She's his sister, not his love interest, but she's self-sacrificing to the utmost to achieve his happiness.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: He turns out to be like this to Subaru. [[Manga/{{X1999}} Fuuma eventually tells Subaru much, much later - Seishirou is a very selfish man]].

** His glasses are also SinisterShades with a touch of SunglassAtNight.

* PurelyAestheticGlasses: [[spoiler: Seishirou's glasses were nothing more than a facade to make him look harmless.]]

* StalkerWithACrush: He certainly is very touchy-feely with Subaru, and always knows where he happens to be, and always leaps to his protection. [[spoiler:He does literally spy on him constantly with onmyoujutsu, and grows increasingly possessive of him. Of course, he still [[BlatantLies claims he feels nothing toward him.]]]]

* UselessAccessory: [[spoiler: Hokuto sees right through Seishirou's glasses to his empty gaze despite the fact that he wears the glasses to hide this very fact.]]

* TheGlassesComeOff: Seishirou removes his glasses when he [[spoiler: is in "Sakurazukamori" mode.]]
* KindlyVet: He is a kind and caring doctor to all the animals in his care, and often bonds with Subaru over their shared love of animals. [[spoiler:This and the trope itself is all a deliberate act on Seishirou's part. He uses some of the animals in his care as [[PoweredByAForsakenChild sacrificial decoys]] to deflect the negative splashback that his magic would otherwise cause on him.]]

* AllTakeNoGive: He turns out to be like this to Subaru. [[Manga/{{X1999}} Fuuma eventually tells Subaru much, much later - Seishirou is a very selfish man]].

* BadassTrenchcoat: Black, just like his heart.

* SecretIdentity: [[spoiler: Seishirou as the Sakurazukamori, though it was fairly obvious on purpose from the beginning.]]

* EntendreFailure: Unless someone makes the point straight to his face, he will be as lost as a kid.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Subaru loves animals, and often bonds with Seishirou over the animals at his practice. He yearns to go to college to be a zookeeper -- however, his duties as clan head have made that dream [[TragicDream all but impossible.]] [[spoiler:This seems to be on purpose to go with his hardened demeanor after he got older and more depressed.]]

* DreamWalker: Revealed to have this power in X1999

* NoHeroToHisValet: Sorta. Sachiko thinks her old father is a total burden on her middle-to-low class family.

* DreamWeaver: He can dive into people's dreams and/or consciences, and see/influence them to help the "dreamers" deal with their problems. He uses this power on [[Spoiler: the raped]] Midori in the manga for example.

* {{Uke}}: Absolutely. He's small and very slender, [[spoiler: remaining slender even after he reaches his taller adult height]] with large eyes and a face so pretty he's often mistaken for a girl. His sweetness and the way he gets so flustered around Seishirou just cement the fact.

* YaoiGuys: With Seishirou, much to his embarrassment. At least, before [[Spoiler: the final volume, where this goes horribly, ''horribly'' wrong.]]

* YaoiGuys: He plays this up big time with Subaru.

[[quoteright:225.18133323099:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hokuto_in_tb.jpg]]

* {{Seme}}: Of course. He's the older, much taller, and handsome man who pursues the innocent and shy Subaru.
