● weaknesses: Introvert - When others approach, Kaneki usually retreats to a shell of awkwardness. He certainly has a hard time talking to people and befriending them, as well as actually telling others what is on his mind. If there is interest, he will open up more (like when he was with Rize), but if it’s something he doesn’t really enjoy (like joining a club), he closes up. This is heavily related with his upbringing, and Kaneki usually keep things bottled up inside even when he has a serious internal struggle going on.
Trusts easily - he trusts others too fast or simply doesn’t realize when he is getting in way over his head. He is a gentle and kind soul and though he is introvert, when someone reaches out for him, he immediately sees the good in them and believes in them. His naivety may translate as idiocy at times and his naivety may make Kaneki overlook the obvious, but as someone so lonely like Kaneki and hard to relate to others, he does this so he’ll have someone.
Unreliable narrator – The way Kaneki describes his life isn’t always true, not because he means to lie, but because he was taught to see things that way. When addressing some subjects, he often speaks like there is no problem, even though it’s not true. For example, his inability to accept how lonely he truly is and how much that loneliness guided his actions, words, and his vision of the world. On another extreme, kaneki spent so much time praising his mother, only to later reveal that she physically abused him when he was a child. Kaneki is avoidant in many aspects and lies to himself the most, making up his own narration in order to keep going.
● skills: Kaneki is a real fast learner which allows him to apply theory into practice. He is a literature student, which means he has vast knowledge on many kind of different books - and he loves most books, too. Kaneki also used to work at Anteiku, which is a coffee shop; he knows how to make amazing coffee and since ghouls can only have coffee (besides human flesh), they are sort of specialists on it, including Kaneki. ● housing: Randomize
