Character Name: Daiki Aomine
Canon: Kuroko no Basket
Canon Point: Chapter 203 (immediately post Kaijou vs. Seirin)
Background/History: Link to his page on the KnB wiki!
Personality: Daiki Aomine is the ace of the Generation of Miracles— he was the first member of this amazing group of Teikou students to really bloom and come into his own. As a result, his skill level also increases incredibly fast, until he comes to the point where he believes that no one could possibly defeat him. This results in an incredible amount of arrogance in his personality, mostly involving basketball. But then again, basketball is pretty much his entire life, so there isn't much for him to be full of himself about otherwise. This belief is only enforced through his entire Teikou career— after all, they were the undefeated champions through junior high. But it wasn't just that they were undefeated that affected Aomine so much. Aomine actually starts off as optimistic and idealistic as anyone else— he was one of the people who convinced Kuroko not to quit basketball when he only made third string by saying that Kuroko's love of basketball was motivational to him, even if Kuroko wasn't actually that good of a player. However, he started improving rapidly, and his idealistic attitude begins to transform. This is enforced especially by two events. The first is when one of his first year rivals, tells him that they wouldn't even try to win against him (even when Aomine tries his best against him), which forces him to realize that at this point, he's unbeatable. The second, even bigger event, comes when the new coach, under pressure from Teikou's board to keep Aomine playing in games no matter what, tells him that he can skip practice if that means he'll stay on the team. Aomine had already been struggling with practice because he didn't feel any challenge from it, but being told that he didn't have to go anymore basically crushed him. It crushed him so much that he tells Kuroko, when he comes to tell him to return to practice, that he envies Kuroko's badness at basketball, because it means he doesn't have to know the pain of always being successful. He really was that self-centered as an individual, but this self-centered quality is really what gets turned around in the rest of the series (even though we see this low point after most of his development).
This only continues into his first year as a starter at Touou Academy. He first manages to beat Seirin, the home of his old "shadow", Tetsuya Kuroko (who was also once his best friend and the person he was "most compatible with in basketball") who he believes can't realize his full potential while working with Kagami, Seirin's ace, since his "light is too dim". And Touou does defeat Seirin, seemingly proving that point. They then go on to defeat Kaijou as well, against another former teammate who Aomine helped to realize the potential of, Ryota Kise, one of the few people that Aomine felt might have been a challenge. But at that point, he still felt that Kise wasn't much of a match for him in the end, and Kaijou went defeated. And Aomine didn't even play in their final match, and thus, Touou lost to Rakuzan in the final round. This makes him incredibly jaded, especially during the inter-high, because even when there seems like there may be the barest of hints that he might be able to find an opponent who can oppose him (such as his response to Kagami toward the beginning of their Interhigh match, which is that he "might not be so bad", which is enough to give him some heart for the duration of that match, although his inability to be defeated was eventually proven again.)
However, that wasn't enough to sway his confidence. It's only in the Winter Cup that Touou isn't so lucky, and Seirin is finally able to defeat Touou, taking Aomine out of the running and helping him to realize that there is someone out there who can defeat him. That ennui that he felt before, during his first match against Seirin and his match against Kaijou, dissipated, after thinking for so long that he wouldn't be able to find a willing opponent, again. He ends up helping Kuroko learning to shoot, and coming more to Kise, and Seirin's aid, and seems to be a little bit more mature in the current timeline (although not by much).
Aomine is, in simple terms, just kind of a tool. He's incredibly self-confident-- his catch phrase, the phrase he's most associated with in series is "the only one who could defeat me is me." This comes from his string of wins as mentioned in his history, but it's a kind of confidence that extends everywhere. He's generally lazy-- he skips practice all the time, especially once he enters high school and figures that he doesn't really have to work very hard in order to score lots of points and win games, and isn't that all that matters to him? He revels in humiliating his opponents, to a certain extent (it's just all over his irregular playstyle, and the way that he can make people think that they're going to make a shot and then completely block it). And he has a short temper, too, threatening violence to people on multiple occasions, and actually punching someone in the face at some point (even though it was really for the right reason).
But even with all of this dangerous cockiness, there is still some of that idealism that he had in his first year at Teikou, before he felt like there wasn't any challenge in any of it. He still, somewhere, wants to find that equal match-- that's what he yearns for, even as he sneered up until he was defeated in the Winter Cup, even if he'd mostly given up. And even when he was at his cockiest, he still showed some consideration toward Momoi and Kuroko, in his own gruff way (or in some cases violent, as was shown when one of his team mates questioned Kuroko's ability after a match and he shoved him into a locker). His softness shows toward some other people, too-- especially later, like when he gives Kagami a pair of shoes after Kagami doesn't even win the one-on-one he'd said he'd play them. He's also very physical-- he uses it almost as a form of intimidation, whether what he wants is an octopus sausage from his teammate or just to intimidate the crap out of an opponent. He's very aware of his presence on the court, and he's very aware of his abilities, and it's that insane confidence that probably allows him to have so many wins, even as it makes him more than a little unpopular.
Abilities/Powers: Aomine is essentially a normal person, although he has higher physical abilities than normal. The character bible gives him 10s in physical ability, technique, and special ability (which is a perfect score). He also has 8s in stamina and mental strength! Mostly what we can get out of this is that he doesn't really think about what he does— and he can't keep it up perfectly, but he is pretty damn good at everything anyways. He isn't the final boss of the series, or anything, but he's a terrifying, nearly insurmountable obstacle for multiple characters in the series. He's mostly known as a speed demon, and also as being really good at more improvisational basketball. He can also enter The Zone, which is the state of heightened awareness and skill, where basically they can focus 100% on the game and not on anything else going on. Everyone has a trigger for this, and for Aomine his trigger is when he finds a worthy opponent.
Items/Weapons: A gravure magazine (which is basically like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit special, lots of pictures of women who are mostly undressed but not naked), an (empty) bento box, and an old Pocari Sweat bottle (but at least it has a screw top).
Sample Entry: Haven test drive thread
Sample Entry Two: Daiki woke up disoriented. He hadn't remembered falling asleep after watching the quarter finals— after watching Kaijou lose to Seirin. That match hadn't even been boring, although what he'd really been interested in was the final match with Rakuzan. But now— well, this definitely wasn't his bed in his parents' house. For one thing, his room at home didn't have six beds in it. And for another, his mattress at home wasn't this hard.
But it took him waking up a little more to fully register what was wrong with this situation. The sharp pain in his back turned out to be a cellphone— but it wasn't his cell, which made it all the more strange. He was about to go digging around under the bed to figure out if this phone was a prank or a dud (his real phone just had to be hidden, he'd never be stupid enough to lose it), when he saw the window out of a corner of his eye—
He'd think this was a dream, except that stupid phone being a pain in his back would have woken him up from it for sure. And although that sign (that weird, creepy sign, and Daiki didn't just find anything creepy) said that he was safe, he knew it wasn't true. It was way too quiet for that.
