gert-jan nehuén baptiste. ⎯⎯⎯ (to most others: Baptiste ╱ among the closest: Gert-Jan). October 31, 1990. (origin year: 1477, during The Burgundian Wars, were a conflict between the Burgundian State and the Old Swiss Confederacy and its allies). birth—place: liège, belgium. current residence: Kanagawa—ken, japan. utc+9. (cis—male • 191 cm ╱ 74 kg • PERSONALITY TYPE: INTJ).
✱ origin & curse. Born in Liège as a noble knight bound by oath to Charles the Bold; Duke of Burgundy, he led brutal campaigns against French and Swiss forces. Picture muddy battlefields, siege engines hurling stones, and the stench of gunpowder from early cannons; his first ‘modern’ weapon. He killed hundreds, not out of bloodlust, but cold necessity to defend his realm. No glory, just survival; just the weight of it all.In 1990, a war god——furious as a summer storm——yanked him to Yokohama for some unspoken redemption. His body freezes at age 35, forever handsome (chuckles), scarred from old wounds, with piercing brown eyes that betray centuries of weariness. He arrives in a rainy alley, clutching only a rusted dagger from Liège. No fanfare, no powers; just endless life until his unknown "debt of souls" is paid through good deeds.Time stopped for him. Not in a sudden, violent way, but slowly, like fog settling over a canal. His youth refused to age.Centuries passed. He traded quietly, accumulated wealth without desire, watched the world slip by. Love came and turned gray, leaving him bored with dawns that never ended. He drifted; Kanagawa today, somewhere else tomorrow. The world forgot him, or perhaps he forgot the world, though the shadow never did.

✱ Physical Marks & Style.
lean-muscled knight's build from endless training. Pale skin scarred across arms (saber gashes from 1477).
Piercing brown eyes under straight dark brown hair (once shoulder—length, often tied back in battle).
Clean-shaven jaw, faint laugh lines that never deepen. Moves in silent steps, dodging on pure instinct.
Carries an Old leather journal, rune-bound for logging deeds; Leica M11 for stealing candid glimpses of ephemeral lives.
style revolution: (90s; Flannel shirts, Doc Martens, blending into grunge), (2010s; jeans, leather jackets, vintage watches), (now, ‘26; Tailored wool coats over hoodies, minimalist Japanese streetwear. Always a silver Liège signet ring and hidden dagger sheath).
✱ core character traits. stoic wanderer, fluent in archaic Dutch and French but a quick study of Japanese (picked up by '91). He owns "Liège Leaves", an antique bookstore in Yokohama's Motomachi district, specializing in medieval manuscripts, incunabula, and forgotten grimoires. It's his anchor; surrounded by yellowed pages that whisper of his past. He changes identities every 7-10 years, moving from Yokohama to Tokyo, then Osaka, Kyoto, etc., forging fake papers with skills honed from library heists (non-violent, of course).
Surface polish: Everyday antiquarian who chats incunabula with locals and texts clients about market vintages.
He's lonely, watching lovers age and die. No real relationships; flings end when partners notice he doesn't wrinkle. Prays nightly to his punishing god for release, but mercy never comes.
Small redemptions: mentors street kids, donates rare books to schools, pulls strangers from wrecks, charities incognito.
Deeds stoke faint hope; restoring lost tomes for scholars, aiding shop strays, but shade paranoia urges slips. Old soul in fluid guise: "Hustle fades; I persist."
✱ trivia.
Signature Line: "Pages turn; I don't."
Hidden Talent: Speaks 7 languages fluently; mimics accents perfectly for new identities, Polyglot restorer; deciphers old script to kanji seamlessly.
Possessions: vaulted codices, curated art vault, rotating visas, layered Identities ("antiquaire").
Collects "firsts": First Walkman (1995), first iPhone (2007), first NFT (2021, sold for charity).
Nightly ritual: Brews medieval mead from corner store honey, toasts absent comrades.
Fears: Mirrors (stare back unchanging), cherry blossoms (fleeting beauty mocks him).
flaw: Emotionally distant; self-sacrificing to a fault. Prays for death's mercy

echoes in the rain; Yokohama, 2026. Rain tapped the Motomachi windows like half-forgotten grudges from some muddy, blade-filled year. Inside Liège Leaves, Baptiste sipped mead from a tin cup amid stacks of yellowed books, his brown eyes tracing the scars on the glass——mirrors to the saber marks tucked under his wool haori.The bell chimed softly. Aiko Tanaka pushed through the door, her black hair clinging like damp feathers, her cherry-blossom pink umbrella shedding water onto the floor. Her sharp eyes, dark as deep wells, scanned the shelves out of habit before settling on him."You're soaked," he said, his voice carrying that old-fashioned cadence, handing her a towel from under the counter. His lean body moved with the unhurried grace of someone who'd forgotten how to rush.Aiko dried her face, a wry smile breaking through. "Says the man who looks like he stepped from a Renaissance fair. This storm's straight out of a Burgundian bible. got anything upstairs drier than old regrets?"He paused, his signet ring catching the light as he nodded toward the spiral stairs. "Come on up. Just watch for the ghosts——they have sharper teeth than the rain.”Upstairs, in the lantern's hazy glow where dust motes drifted like smoke from a long-ago battlefield, she ran a scarred finger over a 1477 manuscript. ”This script... the siege details, so raw no reprint could touch. It's alive." Her breath caught, eyes narrowing. ”Like you, Jan. That photo from your '90s visa——it's the same face as your selfie last week."His hand froze on a lute string, a faint, forgotten note humming in the air. The room seemed to contract, as if the world outside had paused to listen. He met her gaze steadily. "Sit down, lieveling. The truth weighs more than any page." His voice faded into a quiet hum, something ancient stirring beneathAiko's eyes tightened, her jasmine scent cutting across the centuries like a secret bridge."Bullshit. Prove it."

OCCUPATION. He runs a tucked-away shopfront in Yokohama, Kanagawa——sourcing and breathing life back into first editions for collectors who never show their faces. Elite types from everywhere, supplemented by private appraisals.
WEALTH. Vast, tucked into trusts, art stashed in vaults, properties scattered like forgotten postcards across the globe——tens of millions, give or take.
DOSSIERS. Master swordsman, herbalist, and scribe. even ghostwriting lyrics for J—pop stars. Trends pull him in; vinyl records stack up in corners, spinning late into the night.
✱ 1477: origin (The Year of Muddy Blades). Burgundian Wars rage; Liège falls in cannon smoke and screams. spills blood under Charles the Bold's banner; cold duty, no choice.✱ 1990: Arrival Redeemer (The Grunge). Arrives in Yokohama rain, as Kurt Cobain’s raw howl lingers in MTV static and dial—up beeps awaken. Age locks at 35; first Walkman blasts “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Nirvana’s breakout vibe, pre-Nevermind) or Madonna’s “Vogue” (MTV staple).✱ 2026: The Hermit (kanagawa; Liège Leaves). Dawn finds him journaling by lantern amid towering stacks, rune-etched leather splayed open: "One verse turns the page; one shadow rips it." Full moon over Yokohama Bay pulls confessions to empty shelves, ”Revolutions devour their children. Gods devour mine.”
