The Self (自己, Jiko) is a shambling mix of appetence and the obtuse squeezed into an old leather sack. His robust moustache and thick eyebrows are the crown of his face. A feebleminded, leather-faced, geriatric Old fart; senile, deranged and generally decrepit, wired to thrive on disfunction. 

Personality

Dim. Not terribly bright, certainly accident-prone, he has thoughts and feelings, probably, but lacks the intelligence required for articulating them. And though he may imply indifference, even stoicism, he's simply gormless. Speaking with wet lisp, He is unapologetically brusque, irresponsibly abrupt, ill-timed and as perceptive as a rice pudding. His appetite is enormous, gluttony serves as both his defining characteristic and as his most voracious ailment, satiety eludes him and thus he remains a hopeless gut-bucket. A man of simple desires, he adheres to his own sense of honour and is described as having a unique moral code; attaching value to often unusual objects and events. 

The weight of the world has crushed his spirit, his apathetic demeanour is inveterate and restless, and though frequently mislabelled as debonair, he does not hope for a better condition and remains remarkably unconcerned. Age has eroded his conscience, abrading his ability to empathise and feel compassion, he makes no attempt to slow it's progress and lethargically accepts his condition. His inability to remember people's faces and names is a constant source of comic relief, which may actually be a combination of poor memory, taxing idiocy and total indifference. Often exaggerating senility and the debilitating extent of his age, he is a capable manipulator and possesses a low cold cunning but lacks the savvy to contemplate consequence. 

Appearance

A lisping, toothless simpleton with a pot-belly, slant eyes and a blank sheet of paper where a brain should be; Impassive and oblivious with an acid-washed expression, his slack-jawed rictus and vacant stare portray him as a hapless dullard. A bristling, white lip-caterpillar distinguishes his staunch upper lip and accentuates his tapering and wolfish features, with its deepening crinkles and jutting cheekbones; rooted lines and furrows seemingly burned in. With a gob almost too large, his pale maw is reminiscent of a toilet bowl, One could wonder how he manages to stay on-balance, with that giant mouth. His cadaverous exterior retains the paisley shape of his youth, punctuated by a swollen, distended paunch and comparatively scant limbs.

Abilities

His elderly appearance is entirely farcical in regards to physical ability; while seemingly frail, he is, in actuality, quite the opposite. He appears to carry himself with an air of fragility, to the point where he will feign ailment and injury, exaggerate his idiocy and fall asleep on command. Beneath the facade, his true capabilities are considered abominable and unnatural given his advanced age. A creature of instinct, his appetite is often the deciding factor in any strategy or action.
