Character Information
Name: Eric Surt
Canon: K Project
Canon Point: After 1st season, couple of months at most
Age: 18
History: http://k-project.wiki
Personality: Eric is a very blunt young man that almost always comes off as rude in the beginning. When he first goes to Homra, Eric refuses to speak anything but English to Yata because Yata had been rude in their first meeting. Only after gentle prodding from another member of the group, Fujishima, does he begin to say things more politely. Because of the way he lived before that, he didn’t need any manners. Or rather, his manners were linked to the way he was believed to be, a dog.
He is also a very quiet person. Generally seen just sitting and not moving from that spot for hours at a time, or following someone else as they do an errand, Eric is very awkward in actual social situations. Having a hard time giving his opinions (unless to make fun of something or someone) or talking about himself, he is either soft spoken and shy or snaps at people; there is rarely an in-between. He needs to be kept an eye on him at times, because he rarely eats, either forgetting or refusing to do so, because he feels that he hasn’t done anything to deserve it.
Eric does not think very highly of himself. Because of the environment he had lived in for quite some time, he refers to himself as a dog, something that obeys orders from his master and receives food as a reward. If his use were to dry up, he would be killed, so he tried to remain useful in order to live. Even though he wasn’t treated nicely by his former group, he remained because of his loyalty, saying that it was his whole world before Homra had defeated them. He had never even thought, or believed that he deserved, to ask for help, believing he was nothing more than a lowlife dog. Now that he is a part of Homra, Eric sticks with them; Homra is his new home. His loyalty to them showed even earlier, when he was shocked and worried over accidentally hurting Fujishima, whom had saved his life and helped him while he stayed at the bar. He had been trying to kill Totsuka at the time, as he had been ordered to. He had to kill Totsuka or Mikoto, or die trying. Even though he had tried to follow through with it, he wasn’t thinking of killing anyone, it was mainly just for survival.
Having some of his childhood taken away from him, Eric can act sometimes innocently towards something he’s never experienced, seen, or heard before. He hasn’t had many opportunities that a lot of other people have had and do on a daily basis. He’s gotten excited at the thought of shopping and buying a present for Anna, whose birthday was approaching, having probably never done that, or at least not since he had gone into Hikawa.
Even though he has been through a lot, a lot more than many people could take, he is still an emotional person. The death of a member of Homra, Totsuka, had impacted him greatly as he cried at the funeral, and looking through his old videos to see him still caused tears to come up. He cares a lot for those in his new family, and feels the loss of Homra disbanding quite strongly.
Because of his time with Homra, however, Eric has gotten better and has opened up. No longer as awkward as he was before, he is able to voice his opinion on occasion, eat a bit more frequently, and be able to interact with more people. He still is quiet and shy and can still be rude and blunt to others he doesn’t know as well, or doesn’t like. His manners have improved though he will occasionally forget them. Homra’s influence has given him a better life and has slowly been replacing his bad memories with good ones.
Abilities: Eric has skills using knives in battle as well as some close combat. Having been made a dog at a young age his attacks are wild but precise and he can with stand a fair amount of pain as well.
Because of him being part of Homra, Eric is able to wield flames, whenever he pleases. He can use it with his body or with a weapon, such as creating a flame wielding knife. Although it’s never shown him using it, it’s fair to say he has about average levels of power using it.

God/Shinki: Shinki
Why?: Eric has been used for most of his life, whether it was taking orders from his old owner in Hikawa, to the top people in Homra. Although he doesn’t mind taking those orders, he is much more of a follower then a leader.
Cause Of Death: During a fight with some other gang, Eric protects one of his friends and ends up taking the killing blow himself.
Vessel: A light coloured dog (Golden retriever like)
Name Location: The left temple beside his eye
Power: Eric is able to blend into his surroundings to avoid being spotted, particularly in the shadows. Great for stealth, attacking, getting information as well as avoiding people he doesn’t feel like talking to. Because he is so quiet and able to blend and hide in canon, it fits how he usually acts.
