[Personality]
In the beginning, it is revealed that Kamui was a very kind and gentle little boy – however, when he came back six years later that “kind and gentle little boy” became a ruthless, cold, brutal teenager who had one hell of a temper. However, this was not without reason. He came off in such a way, simply because he wanted neither Fuuma nor Kotori, the children he played with when he was younger, to get hurt because of him.
Fuuma was the first to encounter Kamui when they were children, having found Kamui shielding a puppy (shielded and hidden under Kamui’s coat) from the rain in front of his (Fuuma’s) family’s shrine. Upon further inquiring on Fuuma’s part, he found out that Kamui had just moved into town, and couldn’t (wouldn’t) leave the puppy where it was, alone. And so Fuuma picked the puppy up, took Kamui’s hand, and led them to his house so that Kamui could get a hot bath, as he had been out in the rain for a while and was soaking wet.
They had found his mother and Saya in the house, talking, and Kamui was introduced along with his mother to both Fuuma and his sister Kotori. Fuuma said that he had already known him, and called Kamui his friend – Kotori chimed in, with a full force hug for added effect, that she would be Kamui’s friend too.
Kamui told Kotori straight out to leave him alone, and not to get involved with him. He even went so far as brush Fuuma off upon their first sighting, and even kept pushing Fuuma away when he was trying to help Kamui (because Kamui was bleeding into next week). Adding to that, he told Fuuma what he told Kotori – to stop getting involved with him. He had done it because he cared.
As time went on and Kamui met more people (like the Dragons of Heaven: Sorata, Arashi, Karen, Seiichirou, Subaru, Yuzuriha), he started opening back up emotionally and physically. It took much prodding on Sorata’s part, but his true personality began showing through, and his gentleness slowly began to return. This was, of course, even after he was told about his mother’s clan and about the kage-nie (who were to harbor all of the misfortunes of the politicians of Japan).
He’s also unmoved (maybe sensitive about, though), now, by almost anything that has to do with fate or destiny. You’re fated to die in 1999 in his world? Okay, so are a lot of people – actually, the entire world. Yes, he feels sorry for you, but there's not much he can do for you. The destined day is coming? Welcome to his life; it's in 1999. You’re being forced to fight in a war that you didn’t want to fight in because destiny has plans for you? That’s the reason for his existence, it seems. You’re destined to fight your best friend no matter what? He can empathize. It is the simple fact that destiny is tugging him around to different points and places that he finds he can’t listen to people complain about it anymore; it’s thrown so many different things at him that he doesn't know what to do with himself sometimes.
Kamui dislikes being touched – there are few people that he allowed to touch him, and even fewer whom he touches on his own. He willingly touches Fuuma (cups his cheek, etcetera) and Kotori (saves her multiple times by catching her), and even allows them to touch him after some time (Fuuma holding him, cupping his cheek, Kotori hugging him, the Seals touching him in general, Keichi's signs of affection). He meets other people who touch him without the immediate reaction being him pushing/shoving them away brusquely -- and these are always the loud, happy people, like Keiichi. He's opening up, and doesn't mind so much when he's touched now, as long as he feels he's safe. Though it doesn't mean he has to like it -- at all.
He didn’t choose to be a Dragon of Heaven, one of the seven seals who protect the humans, or a Dragon of Earth, one of the seven minions who protect the earth. He doesn’t care what will happen to Earth. Kamui says it himself, he only wants to protect the place that Fuuma and Kotori can live happily together. That is his decision – for the ones that he loves so much, he chooses to protect where they can be happy. It really isn’t a ‘Heaven’ or "Earth’ choice, even if it was technically ‘Heaven’ that was chosen. This is one decision that hurt him the most, as 'Fuuma' became his mirror opposite.
Kamui is very loyal for someone like himself, as desperate and beaten down as he is most of the time. He's always worrying about the people he loves, whether it's Fuuma or Subaru, and anyone who has managed to get close has been worried over at some point. He especially feels guilty on the thought that the earthquakes he and the other Seals couldn't stop have killed so many people -- including his friend's, Keiichi's, parents, and sometimes he even feels sorry for Seishirou's death, for it caused Subaru great sadness (even if he hadn't caused it).
On the subject of Subaru – Subaru was there for him when he needed someone the most, and so he tried to be there for Subaru when Subaru needed someone, no matter how inconsolable he seemed to be at the time. Subaru saved Kamui from staying “asleep” forever after Kotori was killed, he helped Kamui with his school work, and he reached out to Kamui when they were both bleeding from a fight between them and two Dragons of Earth.
All in all, Subaru, an onmyōji that was a Dragon of Heaven, was someone Kamui depended on more than the others and they were close friends. He was like Kamui in many ways, having faced similar hardships, and so Kamui related to him more than the other Dragon’s of Heaven.
Kamui is a very troubled, worry-prone teen. He hasn't had much time for a reprieve, and it seems as though his Seals are leaving him while other people have died or even turned against him. Subaru ends up taking Seishirou's place in the Dragons of Earth, Arashi has gone missing, Kotori dies, and Fuuma -- Fuuma is his twin star and is fighting against him as a Dragon of Earth. Kamui is caught up in his memories and his "wish" to save Fuuma, but he has yet to realize that that is not his true wish -- and that that is the reason why he cannot defeat the "other him" (Fuuma). Adding to that, he doesn't know what Fuuma's wish is either, and can't create a kekkai.
And so, he's caught in the endless cycle called "destiny", until he remembers the important things and realizes Fuuma's wish...along with his own true wish (that has yet to be revealed on either side).
[Abilities]
First and foremost, Kamui is an extremely powerful esper (with powers he was born with). He is shown exhibiting a lot of power throughout the course of the manga, from beginning to where he’s taken from. This ranges from powerful energy shields to summoning large blasts more than capable of destroying buildings (and, hinted at: the world) with a single blast. (And if it counts for anything, in chapter 39, the attack he threw at the Dragon of Earth destroyed it – but, then again, that was but a dream the dreamseer was showing him.)
If he would just stop holding himself back - because he's afraid of letting go and hurting Fuuma ('Kamui', too) to the point where he can't bring him back, hence when he put his hand through Fuuma's shoulder he was horrified - then he'd be able to match Fuuma. Fuuma is, after all, just reflecting his own abilities like a mirror, and everything that the Dragon of Earth's Kamui can do, Kamui can do - and vice versa. Whether it be telekinetically manipulating wires like Fuuma or creating a kekkai, all he ever does is hold back in fear of truly hurting someone - and in fear of completely losing his 'self'.
Adding to that, Kamui also seemed to be capable of healing quicker than an average human, and even of that of a normal seal. Little cuts seemed to heal in hours, the bruises Fuuma left around his neck healed within a few hours (as well), broken arms, ribs, ect, heal in a few weeks -- it all depended on the variation to which he was injured. And when he was injured, it was usually by Fuuma, and the injuries were usually extensive.
He had physical prowess as well, being able to jump from the ground to the top of a telephone pole and then from roof-to-roof and back down without hurting himself.
However, unlike the other Dragons of Heaven, Kamui cannot summon a kekkai. It is yet to be realized, exactly, why he isn’t able to do this. This seems to have to do with his “true wish” – then again, should Kamui ever actually learn how to make a kekkai, Fuuma will gain a new power. All foreshadowing aside, Kamui cannot make it.

[Third Person]
He doesn't want to be out here. But, in a way, the weather fits him enough - he's too far away from the campus that jumping around to get there would just irritate him to high hell. And, 'irritated' is not a mood that he wants to be in.
Except, of course, that he is a little irritated now because it's raining and his umbrella is gone - honestly, his luck couldn't get any worse than this. (No. It can definitely get worse, he reminds himself grimly.) There could be an earthquake, another kekkai could get broken, someone else could go missing; it's enough that Arashi has disappeared and that Subaru has gone his own way.
-- and, there's a fresh flood of guilt there. No matter how many times he tells himself that it couldn't be avoided, he can't help but think that - maybe it could have. It hadn't been his fault, but in a way he's entirely to blame and he knows that. If he just hadn't come back to Tokyo, then a lot of people would still be alive right now - Seishirou and Kotori among other people, the first quite possibly a little stretch, but still alive none the less. No one can convince him any different. And, Fuuma would still be himself.
Fuuma. Not something that he needs to think about now, as Kamui looks around and- spots a shack, one that's falling apart but he thinks would be alright to stay in for a bit. At least, until the rain lightens to a little drizzle. He just wishes that it weren't so cold; as long as he pays that little mind, then he'll be fine. (Right?) The cold is a small worry on a pile of bigger ones: the end of the world, Fuuma, kekkai, generating a kekkai, Arashi, and Subaru - there's just too much on his mind for him to worry about something as insignificant as the current weather.
And, maybe that dampens his mood a little from irritated to solemn as he trots over to the shack and settles down, once again deciding against hopping rooftops. He's careful to keep himself mildly alert to his surroundings, but finds that a little harder than other times; in case Fuuma ('Kamui', as he calls himself, but only he is Kamui- isn't that the case) passes by, mostly, but even then that might just make him colder. He feels something reminiscent of ice settle in the pit of his stomach and, just a little bit, he leans forward and lets out a shaky breath.
It's truly impossible not to think about Fuuma during a time like this, as rainy as it is. Hopefully - and hope he does, hope against hope - the rain will die down soon. There are things that need to be done and Kotori (the tree, the tree, the tree) to go and see and settle down against, the birds to plop down on top of his head and shoulders and hands and- yes. Soon.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?]
Because he's a different character-type than Suzaku that I successfully played before for a while, and I've been wanting to play him somewhere I'd be comfortable with since I lost his voice a year ago 8(
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] I liked them all does that count -- be nice to other players! We can't get a foothold anywhere with aggressively rude players.
