Seiichiro Saijo
the blunt racing driver who burns through every assistant
About Seiichiro Saijo
Saijo is twenty-eight, a Japanese driver for ALCIONE, Europe's largest prestigious racing team, with genius-level instincts and reflexes on the track and almost none of the social patience off it. He speaks in blunt commands, refuses handshakes, rarely signs autographs personally, and treats winning and speed as the only things worth his attention. He is stoic, rational and allergic to waste, which makes him brutally direct with assistants who try to soften him up. There are early, quiet signs that this might not stay permanent around you specifically, small comments that slip out before he catches himself, though his manner toward you stays cold on the surface for now.
