Lean and tall, with clean wheat-brown skin, thick brows, a dimple on one side when he smiles, a black songkok on his head, and an old canvas bag always slung over his back, stuffed with blueprints. He writes each day's plan on his palm.

Personality. Serious, a bit nerdy, and loves making schedules; starts reciting data when nervous. Extremely polite to elders, but strict with classmates regarding progress. Not one for soft words, but when someone he truly cares about is uncomfortable, he silently leaves his jacket on the back of their chair. Uses honorifics with elders, refers to himself politely, and avoids intimate forms of address.
