PERSONALITY very scientifically* adept, yet somehow a failure by the standards of society. omoide's intelligence isn't something to be questioned, yet when all is said and done, one can't help but to think such a gift was expended on a total waste of a human beingใผafter all, why would anyone in their right mind opt to not use it at all, especially when the subjects in question are all things they seem to enjoy? instead, he's spent much of his time as some sort of recluse holed away from everyone else; an antisocial NEET, if you would. it's been this way ever since he's graduated from high school, GPA not at all indicative of his actual ability, but only showcasing the lack of effort he put into his studies during those last few years. of course, he doesn't exactly enjoy the position he's thrown himself in, though he's unfortunately grown to embrace it (albeit with a bitter feeling).
omoide had always been more on the introverted side, however after several years of semi-self-isolation (he still lived with his parents, and spent a lot of time online), this slowly began to become a mere understatement. severely socially anxious, interactions with most others send him into a state of jitters and apprehension, and his words carry a weight of cynicism that could often come across as harsh. contrary to what one might think, he's actually fairly vocal about a number of things, and will likely spew words with the intention of driving people away who he thinks have been talking to him for a little too long. he also has a major mischievous streak, which mainly dictates a good portion of certain outlooks on life and to a lesser extent, his actions. of course, as his is now, this doesn't show itself all the time, and when someone calls it out, he's quick to recoil.
as a whole, he doesn't seem to have a lot of trust in those around him; he's quick to throw suspicion onto others for trying to befriend him, questioning what they could possibly stand to gain from getting closer to "someone like me". his lack of self-worth is something that'll quickly make itself known through self-deprecating comments, though given when they tend to crop up, it's also possible for one to assume he's saying such things only to discourage others from continuing to talk to him, or as some kind of dry humor (based on the somewhat anxious-looking, gloomy grin that his mouth sometimes curls up into).
*though sometimes it seems like science is the only thing he's smart with. > >;
BIOGRAPHY ... when did everything become so, so wrong?
sure, to begin with, the kidou family experience wasn't exactly what one could consider "ideal". although there were only four of them, making ends meet proved to be a constant struggle. their house was small, with everyone sleeping in the same room, air conditioning absent during those relentless summers and heating falling short with every drop in temperature within the city. in order to keep what they had, mom and dad worked tirelessly, day by day, often coming home long after the sun had bid it's farewells. thus, while at the house, the twins mainly only had each otherใผnot that omoide minded all that much... and of course, as they got older, this became a fact that he wouldn't admit so easily. oh well.
being the introvert that he was, omoide found that he didn't have too many friends throughout his time at school, though honestly he preferred for things to be that way; it gave him more time during free periods to retreat to the school library and bury his nose into all kinds of literature. it didn't take him long to pick up a keen interest in the world of physical sciences, which was fairly uncharacteristic due to how young he was at the time, but then again, none of his teachers could say they were surprised based on the fact that he exceeded the academic expectations for his age group by a long shot. this continued for several years, until he finally opted to join his school's science club. the students in said club would end up becoming pretty good friends of his, too... ("hey, let's all aim to work at NASA together!")
if you were to ask him now, he wouldn't be able to pinpoint why or when exactly his decline began to happen. all he did know was that one year, in his second term, he received his grades and they were much lower than he could've anticipatedใผthe subjects of his classes were beyond easy in his eyes, so how...
well, there'd be no point in asking, as he already knew why; to get grades, one has to do work. but even knowing this, his body gradually refused to do school work that felt even mildly inconvenient, regardless of how many times he'd internally declare that he would do it. it was strange too, since it didn't feel like long ago that he was scarily on top of his stuffใผat least, that's what it felt like... and before he knew it, he graduated, an unknown feeling looming at the back of his head. what had changed? surely it couldn't be that hard to figure out if it was significant enough to throw him off the way it did.
alas, having unintentionally built up everyone's expectations of him throughout the years, omoide felt a heavy sense of pressure to continue rather than confront whatever problem he had. thus, during his time spent dragging his way through college, the disconnect from his peers that started in high school grew stronger (they were so great. too great. something about him hanging out with them began to feel displaced), he started talking less with his brother who went abroad for some crazy paid internship offer, and tension began to grow between himself and his parents because they noticed he was spending a lot of time doing nothing productive (on top of not getting the scholarship like he was supposed to, thus omoida for some reason feeling like he had to pay for omoide's tuition). okay, so this probably all was his fault, but the worst of it hadn't even come yet.
there would come a time where omoide had to drop out entirely, due to his mother falling ill from so many years of overworking herself. he didn't tell omoida of what happened out of fear that the redhead would also start to overwork himself from trying to pay for both omoide's tuition and mother's medical bills (because knowing him, he would definitely try). in the end, the money being sent his way was directed towards his mother instead, and that would mark the beginning of his "grand NEET adventures". on the bright side, mom was able to recover pretty quickly, but had to work less because of lingering health concerns.
the only thing now was that omoide began to dread the day his brother came back to visit...
EXTRA
โง the younger kidou twin. the other one is kidou omoida, played by
MystiicWitch
โง probably only knows how to make instant ramen.
โง physical activity?? what the sunmu is that???
โง really likes things relating to space, but can't help feeling bittersweet about it, too.
โง grins kinda frequently, but it's probably safe to assume it's not out of glee. he's sorry that his smiles can be kindof unnerving... blame the teeth.
โง is pretty tall, but still somehow owns mostly oversized clothes.

PERSONALITY words laced in a deadpan tone and face contorted into an expression of perpetual neutrality; it's because of these two things that the friends back at home have bestowed a particular title upon the boy in question. after several changes, they just decided on "moai maknae", mainly due to one of them pointing out that "sunmu's about as expressionless as that one emoji... uh, the one with the rock face or something," and everyone else laughing in agreement at the joke. sunmu, even being on the receiving end of it, found it funny, but unsurprisingly continued to live up to it by letting out a single huff instead of actually laughing. with all this in mind, it is a bit of an exaggeration; his expressions, while not as frequent or obvious as they should be, are still very much there and should not be taken as an indication of a true lack of emotion.
to a fault, sunmu is actually pretty bad at expressing said emotions outside of a few specific outlets, mainly because to him, certain levels of reactions just don't... "feel" right. he thinks that if he were to, something about it would somehow be perceived as awkward or out of place, regardless on whether or not his actual feelings run totally parallel with the would-be reaction. thus, extremely obvious expressions feel as if they're unnatural... which is pretty ironic considering the... other, more eccentric habits he seems to have (including, but not limited to: his somewhat chuunibyou nature, with him claiming to be psychic with the mark on his head. truthfully, he just has good intuition).
overall, sunmu interacts with those around him in a polite, respectful, and casual manner, having the disposition of a decent individual without any sort of ulterior motive. that being said, due to his occupation, it may at times seem as if he is acting in such a way for the sake of maintaining his precious reputation, and perhaps this is partially true; however, one can't fully blame him for that. after all, he's dedicated so many years of hard work towards his aspirations and will continue to do soใผnot to have it all be for naught due to one mishap in his behavior. he knows damn well the industry is far too unforgiving to risk it...
BIOGRAPHY to be completely honest, sunmu grew up living a relatively normal life. his parents were kind and doting, his relationships with his peers were decent, and his family's main income was from a small, cozy, yet popular noodle house located somewhere in gangwon-do. the only thing that could've been considered "not normal" was the fact that his younger sister (sunmi) had been pretty sick. for as long as anyone could remember, she always had to get around with the aid of a wheelchair, and there had been a number of times where certain scares had put her in the hospital, leaving those around her to worryใผwould she make it through the complications this time?
(luckily, each time, she would.)
panning back to sunmu, something important that happened adjacent to his time in secondary school would be his interest in dance (and by extension, music). by that point, he had a notable amount of skill in the art, and based on the fact that it was a genuine passion of his that elicited a more powerful feeling of expression (as opposed to his usual diluted self), it became something he unconsciously clung to. he didn't exactly realize it, but this would quickly become his main outlet, and those close to him at the time would notice. eventually in eighth grade, while down in seoul with his family to open another location of their eatery, he ended up getting scouted by a notable entertainment company that apparently wanted to take him in as an idol trainee. honestly, he wasn't too into that entire industry, but he agreed after time spent thinking about itใผhe'd get to do what he liked to do, and hey, sunmi seemed very excited by the idea of potentially having an idol as an older brother!
and so, timeskip a few years to when sunmu was seventeen and the group he'd been training with were set on the track towards their debut. though it took some time, the group of five became very tightly-knit, and at some point during the long journey to stardom, sunmu grew to share their passion towards becoming an idol specifically. it would be only weeks until they were set to perform as their own group for the first time, but unfortunately, something unexpected happened... which severely set them back. the recently-appointed ceo of the company had taken the money and fled somewhere, leaving sunmu's group, the other groups, the staff, and various affiliates in a deep hole that they had no choice but to try and crawl up from until the crook was located and everything could be settled legally. not much to anyone's surprise, tensions were extremely high, leading to 'certain events' within the large circle that shouldn't have happened, and during all that, sunmu and his group opted to get part time jobs. good thing there was a certain noodle house willing to take them all in, huh?
times were hard, and they hurt, but looking back, they were also... fun. training sessions then sometimes consisted of family and friends lingering to cheer the group on, and the noodle house overall was a warm, homey, and sometimes chaotic environment that only brought everyone closer together, including the locals who would frequently dine at the place. sunmu, sunmi, and the boys practically became an inseparable group; and somehow, despite the company's situation, things seemed alright for the most part.
but... when everything seems alright for too long, you can't help but start to doubt. sunmu felt that something bad was going to rear it's ugly face around the corner amidst the bliss, but what? well... he'd find out soon enough, supposedly. after all, what ended up happening was something nobody could say they saw coming, the intuitive sunmu included.
sunmi... what could've driven you to do that to youself?
EXTRA
โง the reason behind the mark on his forehead is probably not very impressive to others, but the context is very important to him (sunmi).
โง knows japanese due to plans with his group and promoting in japan. he understands most things, but sometimes will still need to process.
โง before he got into dance, he did a bit of taekwondo. now he isn't the best, but sometimes he'll apply things to dances?
โง the youngest in his group. felt awkward knowing he had to learn vocals or rap, and honestly still does.
โง is pretty good at cooking.
โง probably works a little too hard...
โง superstitious, i guess.

BLOOD TYPE AB+
BIO Phil was a spirited individual when he was much younger. He rightfully earned a reputation as the troublemaker of his hometown. He and his coterie of slightly less mischievous friends wreaked havoc on their small town back in China. The group liked to pull pranks on unsuspecting adults. It was a good-natured, childish sort of mischief. However, all of it was just the fleeting moment of naive youth. The cruelty of reality started to sink in when his sister, Yang, was born. The girl was born with a severe case of congenital heart disease.
He was just ten-years-old then, but he understood the gravity of the situation. Though his parents didn't give up on his new sister, the two expected her to not live past a year. Like a miracle, they were wrong, but this only concerned his parents even more. The kind of treatment for their daughter will soon become more costly, and the capabilities in the healthcare of the surrounding area weren't as advanced. This spurred Phil's father to search for opportunities to improve their situation and gave Phil the goal to become a doctor. He wanted to be able to help his sister, if even a little bit. It came in the form of going overseas for a job at a high-profile aerospace company called Quantum Leap.
He initially slightly resented Yang because of her troublesome birth defect, however through the years, the two had become very close despite her condition. It became a regular routine, not because it was something that he had to do, but because he wanted to be there for Yang. Day and night, he attended to her and was by her side whenever their parents were gone or busy. Naturally, he had become very protective of her due to her frail nature. So when the news came to him that they were going to move, of course, Phil was saddened by the thought that he'd leave his long-time friends and the comfortable familiarity of his hometown, but sacrifices had to be made. A feeling of hope overwhelmed his self-centeredness, and he swiftly came to accept that this huge decision to move to a whole new country was ultimately the right choice in working towards giving Yang a future.
Sadly things sometimes never go the way they're supposed to. Shortly after moving, one disaster was all it took to bring his family's plan comes crashing down. An explosion disabled his father; his legs were ruined, unable to work again. Not to mention the place itself was damaged. On top of helping his mother take care of his sister, he had to assist his father with rehabilitation. It was how he met one of his father's coworkers, Kitagawa-san. She had lost her sense of hearing and was rendered deaf, and while he was not actually a staff member at the place where the explosion victims inevitably met for a while, he taught her sign language. It was a skill that he thought would be useful and picked up in high school in case he had to deal with disabled patients in the medical field. However, his focus was still on his family, and shortly after she was fluent enough in sign, the two parted ways.
The family frantically tried to keep up financially, his mother becoming the sole provider. However, even as a university professor, she couldn't handle it alone. It wasn't enough to help with the costs of Yang's treatment. It was then, after a period of financial hardship, that his parents proposed something that infuriated him. One of them will marry someone wealthy and a doctor at that. At this point, he's had enough of sacrifices. He was against the idea for the both of them to go ahead with that plan, so he begged his family to give him time. He reinstated his promise that he would become a doctor and even be the one to find the cure for his sister's defect. In the meantime, he would help provide income, and that he did with a part-time job, which also paid for his most of his schooling. His parents were unsure about his proposition, but he had convinced them to give him time. There had to be another way without making him commit to something that he does not want and making his sister lose the sliver of freedom she has left in her life.
PERSONA Acting on impulse, being carefree and careless, letting his feelings take control was a thing of the past. His sister's birth undoubtedly instilled responsibility and maturity in him. Nowadays, he's much wiser than when he was a kid, and surprisingly as most people might assume, he wasn't born as the type in life who just was naturally intellectual and glided through school. It was all due to the hard work and effort put into his studies mixed with his perseverance - never giving up.
He's a bit more reserved than his younger self, although people shouldn't assume that he's a passive guy. He will not let anybody step on him and the people that he cares about. He definitely will not put up with other people's crap for too long and will be very straightforward in dealing with that sort of stuff. While he never goes to such lengths as isolating himself from others, he does keep them at arm's length, never letting anyone get too intimate with him. He guards his true thoughts and restrains himself from giving others advice, even if he is sure the advice would be super beneficial for the individual. A subtle voice of reason, he's not the irritating know-it-all type. He's the cold type either since he can be warm and easy-going if he chooses to be. That side of him shines through when he is working at his part-time job.
But for the most part, he lets people do as they please. He will only offer his two cents when he is sure that it does not backfire just because he shared his assessment of a situation. This leads many people to think of him as an eccentric and brooding person. Perhaps even condescending. However, he's moved beyond getting too sensitive, not caring, or dwelling too much on what other people think about him because he has a mission that transcends all the temporary problems he may encounter in his way. Although he can still feel hurt by mean comments and the like, he is not a robot. Ironically, things come back to a full circle as his drive to win this game is solely due to emotion. If it came to it, he would throw away the new personality that he had built up. His humanity. His soul. Just to obtain what he ultimately desires.

- mana will try to be friends with you. it is inevitable.
- she has a fear of being left by those she loves, but she will never admit this out loud.
- she occasionally dabbles in cosplay and thus has a bunch of different outfits.
- she's babey : )
personality โฆ
mana's personality is nothing short of refreshing and exhausting at the same time. her optimistic (and almost naive) outlook on life is sure to bring a smile, no matter how small, to anyone's face. she's not afraid to speak her mind, and she genuinely enjoys making others happy, taking her time to gauge out a person's sense of humor before trying to make them laugh. other than jokes, she also performs for others; live piano or guitar music often accompanies the cozy cafe she works at.
she spends a lot of her alone time watching anime, reading books, and playing video games, immersing herself in the worlds of fantasy. she had always dreamed of what it would be like to live in a world unlike her own - what she would do, how she would survive... needless to say, this whole situation she landed herself in is a dream come true.
though despite her usually sunny disposition, she knows when it's inappropriate. in this case, she "powers down", staying silent and blending into the background for the more emotionally mature people to take over. if she can help it, though, she doesn't let herself be depressed for any longer than she needs to be, usually forcing herself to bounce back from an emotional low to be the best mana she can be.
but of course, her personality is the result of something just a bit darker...
biography โฆ
mana would spend most of her early life sitting by her grandfather's hospital bed, being taught how to play the guitar. her parents and grandmother would be nearby, chatting and catching up, listening to her progress with the instrument. occasionally her ears would catch hushed whispers about grandpa, but she would always refuse to listen. looking back on it now, she wishes she had listened.
at least then she would know when it was coming.
her family would visit grandpa at least once a week: every sunday, at exactly 10am, they would get ready to take the thirty minute long train ride to tokyo. they would stop by a bakery on the way, buy three batches of melon bread, and by noon, mana would be sitting next to her grandpa's bed, sparkling eyes watching as he taught her his techniques for the guitar.
by the age of thirteen, she would be considered skilled at the instrument, able to play songs by ear as well as sing along to them. she would spend weekdays after school performing at the family-owned cafe, to the delight of their usuals. they would always comment each week on how fast she was improving, and her parents would watch proudly - "grandpa taught her a few things."
that had been the family routine for years. until one day, after last week's lesson felt a bit off, her parents just... stopped taking her to see grandpa. "you need to spend more time on school," they'd say, though mana already knew that wasn't the case at the time. still, she didn't question it; it was just one week. she'd be back next week, after all! everything would be fine! but then one week turned to two... and then into a month.
it had only been three months since then.
mana remembered her parents sitting her down to tell her. her grandma was there too; she remembered her crying, weeping silently. grandma never said a word to her that night.
"grandpa won't remember you anymore."
"what...?"
...
when they finally took her to see grandpa again, mana realized they were right.
but despite the vacant look in her grandpa's eyes and his lack of recognition, she would still play for him. she would play his favorite songs, and it always brought a smile to his face. to this day, she always wondered what he was thinking in his last few months - what he thought of the unfamiliar girl and her guitar.
at the very least, she was glad to light up the last withering sunset of her grandpa's life.

- mana will try to be friends with you. it is inevitable.
- she has a fear of being left by those she loves, but she will never admit this out loud.
- she occasionally dabbles in cosplay and thus has a bunch of different outfits.
- she's babey : )
personality โฆ
mana's personality is nothing short of refreshing and exhausting at the same time. her optimistic (and almost naive) outlook on life is sure to bring a smile, no matter how small, to anyone's face. she's not afraid to speak her mind, and she genuinely enjoys making others happy, taking her time to gauge out a person's sense of humor before trying to make them laugh. other than jokes, she also performs for others; live piano or guitar music often accompanies the cozy cafe she works at.
she spends a lot of her alone time watching anime, reading books, and playing video games, immersing herself in the worlds of fantasy. she had always dreamed of what it would be like to live in a world unlike her own - what she would do, how she would survive... needless to say, this whole situation she landed herself in is a dream come true.
though despite her usually sunny disposition, she knows when it's inappropriate. in this case, she "powers down", staying silent and blending into the background for the more emotionally mature people to take over. if she can help it, though, she doesn't let herself be depressed for any longer than she needs to be, usually forcing herself to bounce back from an emotional low to be the best mana she can be.
but of course, her personality is the result of something just a bit darker...
biography โฆ
mana would spend most of her early life sitting by her grandfather's hospital bed, being taught how to play the guitar. her parents and grandmother would be nearby, chatting and catching up, listening to her progress with the instrument. occasionally her ears would catch hushed whispers about grandpa, but she would always refuse to listen. looking back on it now, she wishes she had listened.
at least then she would know when it was coming.
her family would visit grandpa at least once a week: every sunday, at exactly 10am, they would get ready to take the thirty minute long train ride to tokyo. they would stop by a bakery on the way, buy three batches of melon bread, and by noon, mana would be sitting next to her grandpa's bed, sparkling eyes watching as he taught her his techniques for the guitar.

FULL NAME Peony Fujisaki
NICKNAME(S)
โPeon-peon - A sweet nickname that her younger cousins gave her
AGE 19
GENDER Female
HEIGHT 5'6
WEIGHT 140 lbs
OCCUPATION Music school student
LIKES Sunny days, animals, music
DISLIKES Rumors about her, failure, heartbreak
BIRTHDAY October 31st
HAIR COLOR Dyed violet with purple tips, naturally black.
EYE COLOR A mix of blue and green
MISC She wears makeup but she makes it look so natural. Most of the time she's actually wearing contact lenses. She keeps a pair of glasses, close to her, just in case something happens to said accessories.
BLOOD TYPE O+
BIO "A Chinese peony when I stand, a tree peony when I sit, my walking form is a lily flower. A perfect high school girl everyone envies." It's a perfect quote for people who want to describe a girl like her. For as long as Peony could remember, she's lived the plush life, living in a wonderfully kept house; there is no doubt it could pass as a mansion when an outsider glances at it. However, it's not exaggerated. There are no butlers or maids that line up for her; however, her family was wealthy enough to get her tutors to teach her to have good manners and some music lessons when her parents found out that she had an alluring voice. Also, they saw her potential to become a good violinist. Her father, Japanese, is a wealthy businessman who dabbles in the stock market, and her mother, while not famous at all, e.g., an actress, has the features of a beautiful porcelain doll. Her looks were passed onto her daughter, and it didn't take long for Peony to become one of the popular but genuinely friendly kids.
Peony was no stranger to sudden confessions, and she turned them down politely. Despite the feeling of rejection, she's managed to still be on their good sides, and they surprisingly respected her decisions. Many of the boys continued to linger by her side. However, with the same gender, Peony was not as lucky with the girls she's encountered in her life. Aside from her kind mother, her female peers treated her harshly, obviously simmering with jealousy. She was an outcast in female groups, and many have conspired against her, trying to spread rumors about her to ruin the reputation she unknowingly built up. They never got their chance to do so until one fateful day. Peony could never really get to the top of her school's orchestra, although she managed to keep her spot and get through auditions. There was a guy who she admired, someone who made her heart beat faster. He was the top violinist of his school and was a kind individual, and his name was Minamoto, Akihiko. Eventually, the two shared their true feelings for one another, and that was when those filled with jealousy formed a plan. Through a series of misunderstandings and disgusting rumors, the group tore the two lovers apart. It wasn't until Minamoto moved far away that Peony realized what had been actually going on.
Hurt deeply, she finally let herself enter this horrible world of mind games, and before she knew it, she had everyone dancing on the palm of her hand. While her relationship was destroyed, her actual good reputation still stood unshaken. Using her influence, she hesitantly made those girls "disappear" and brought a finale to that charade. Their desks empty after what she did. Her rage and hurt may have been satisfied, but she regrets that moment when she used her leverage for selfish reasons, even if it may have been justified. It continues to haunt her even as she got out of high school. Even as she got accepted by one of the best music schools in Tokyo. Even if she had everything of material value, she can't bring herself to appreciate things around her, not when she'll have to go forward with her life living with what happened, it's proven to be too much for her to bear. There's no doubt that she's a bit bitter and has tied herself to the past, always thinking how things could have gone a different way.
PERSONA Possibly one of the most bubbly individuals a person will ever meet in life. Her positivity and the proper amount of confidence exude far and wide, influencing all those around her, even if the effect is minuscule (very minuscule in some cases). She charms those around her, unintentionally most of the time, because of her grace and poise, the way she carries herself. No wonder wherever she goes, everyone is fond of her and much envied. Regardless, she treats everyone the same, and that is with kindness and respect, even though it might not be mutual. Believing even those that don't like her at first or at all will eventually have their hearts thawed. However, even with that said, she keeps only a handful of people close who promise to have her back regardless of the situation she finds herself in. In return, she does the same with those individuals and any predicaments those people might encounter.
As much as people want to make out that she's flawless; Peony has some particular habits of hers that don't seem to fit people's image of a "perfect girl." She can be somewhat of an airhead and a klutz, a butterfingers. However, it's unclear whether she does this intentionally to give herself a cutesy effect. Or if she genuinely just has poor motor coordination. Truthfully, she is not a good dancer or great at sports. She compensates for this by being a great singer, adding to her popularity. Her beautiful voice mesmerizes many. Strangely, one fact contradicts what has been said, she's an excellent violinist, having played in multiple symphony concerts during her time in both junior high and senior high. A procrastinator side is also found in her, and even though she gets things done at the last minute, it's accurate to say that she likes to live life on the edge a little bit. This applies to most everything e.g. homework and replying back to important emails.
When she knows she's completely alone, Peony still stays true to the attitude that's put up when surrounded by others; however, it's as if all the artificiality of that personality is removed, and the effects of the things that she's dealt with show up. It's the side that her parents are used to, and she's much quieter. She secludes herself and often is just despondent towards everything. Staring blankly, she looks as if she's wishing for a different reality. All in all, it's hard for others to tell what is actually true of Peony. Those that are sharp enough to notice can see past the superficial facade that she strives to keep and catch a glimmer of the truth. Underneath the optimistic surface is a girl shrouded with secrets and a dark past, a girl of contradictions.
EXTRA
โShe has two pets, a Shiba Inu named Howl and a Persian cat named Sophie, referencing to the tale, "Howl's Moving Castle," her favorite fantasy novel.
โShe has no siblings, so she's the only child. However, she has a lot of cousins, and prefers being around them than most of her classmates.
โShe's fluent enough in Chinese but it still comes off a bit awkward-sounding, so she mainly sticks with/prefers Japanese.

-Nakano has thrown away any semblance of fashion awareness a looooong time ago, the only exception being when she wishes to pay respect to past generations with more traditional clothing.
-Thanks to the myriad of physically demanding jobs sheโs taken up over the years Nakano is quite fit,though sheโs by no means a tank.
-If she looks happy for an extended period of time then something must be wrong with her, contact the nearest hospital asap.
PERSONALITY
Let's cut right to the chase and lay down the fact that Nakano is a generally unpleasant person to be around. Sheโs an absolute expert in the art of complaining, always making a fuss about even the smallest of things, and should you ever find yourself at the receiving end of one of her extensive lectures itโs best for you to start running. This attitude stems from her absolute hatred of modern society, whether itโd be the advances it has brought to even the people it has raised (A subject weโll get into in her bio). As a result the best word to generally describe Nakano is โgrumpyโ, but sadly for everyone around her she ainโt about to take the worldโs changes laying down. You see, Nakano is no stranger to physically dragging away people from their screens and forcing them to do something productive. And donโt you think sheโll allow resistance, unless you wanna be on the receiving end of her aforementioned lectures. While she does this out of her general disdain for technology itโs also because Nakano doesnโt want to see the people around her turning into blobs of fat that waste away their lives in front of some brain-frying screen.
Still, not even someone as cranky as Nakano can be on top of her game all the time. The modern world has grinded her spirit pretty badly, so itโs not strange to see Nakano with a vacant look just laying back on a couch, almost like she has fully given up on the act of living. Any attempts at interacting with her during this time will simply be met with empty answers and barely functional motor skills. Mind you, she always manages to bounce back from these episodes, though youโd be forgiven from assuming she was a corpse during this state of hers. Itโs best to throw her back into her room or give her something properly productive to do to ensure a much swifter recovery.
Despite how short-tempered Iโve described Nakano to be itโs important to note that while she dishes out plenty of reprimands sheโs also more than willing to give out a large amount of compliments. It doesnโt matter how small the action may be, if Nakano labels it as โproductiveโ then sheโll gladly offer words of encouragement and praise, especially towards those she feels deserves them the most.Sheโs also a big fan of having conversation with just about anyone, thus making her an excellent listener for just about any subject.
BIOGRAPHY
โOh? You wanna know my backstory? Sure thing, bring over some glasses for the two of us, we might be here for a bit. Well, Iโve spent all of my life in the Kanagawa prefecture, living in a small town not too far away from Kamakura. The name of the town? Uh sorry, but the last thing we need there is more potential tourists, lets just say itโs a beautiful port town far away from the cancerous culture present in the bigger cities. Or at least that used to be the case, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I was raised by my grandparents, I somewhat wished you wouldโve met them, they were such kind souls that held their door open for anyone in need of help. Like this one time my grandpa ran outside the house in his underwear just to help out a bird that had crashed into one of our windows. You shouldโve seen the look on the neighbourโs faces, it was absolutely priceless!Ah, right, I was raised by my grandparents because both of my parents died in a car crash...the drunk bastard that ran into them apparently managed to survive too...Oh sorry, I mightโve killed the mood a bit. Drink a bit, I am sure thatโs bound to liven us up again.โ
โUuuuh, where was I? Oh right, life in that town was great. Everyone there pretty much knew each other, it was a really tightly knit community where a lot of people didnโt even lock their doors at night. My grandparents ran a convenience store and Iโd constantly help out with checking out customers, resupplying the shelves and cleaning the floors. It was pure bliss, though that all changed for the worse once THEY showed up. I mustโve been 18 back then, life was continuing as usual until a large film crew arrived over to the town to record some scenes for a film. Their presence wasnโt really all that negative, sure they were a bit loud at times but they seemed like good people from the few interactions I had with them. Eventually they left and everything returned to normal, but in the following months more and more tourists began showing up, I guess the film was a huge hit. At first I welcomed their arrival and even took up a job as a tourist guide for about a whole year. However, as their presence grew so did the issues. A lot of big chains caught wind of the tourists and so they began branching out into the town, which slowly began dragging customers away from my grandparentโs shop. There were now people clogging up our streets and beaches, leaving behind a small layer of trash everywhere they went. They were so loud, their constant chatter and pathetic expressions of leisure are forever ingrained into my mind.Eventually I had to quit my job as a tourist guide, I bit more and I mightโve just snapped. My timing couldnโt have been worse though,โcause soon after my grandpa passed away, his age finally caught up to him. Not even a month after my grandma followed him, I guess they were truly destined to be together forever. What I did next is the biggest regret of my life...being alone and desperate I caved in and sold my grandparentโs shop to a big convenience store chain. Just remembering this makes me want to beat the shit out of myself, how could I have been so STUPID!?...Please, refill my glass.โ
โLife after that is such a blur, I took up so many jobs that I can barely remember any of them. Lifeguarding, package delivering, construction worker, hell I even briefly worked at the convenience store that had taken over my grandparentโs shop. And I loathed every single second of those years. I just wanted to go back to the earlier days of peace, why did it have to be like this?...Let's wrap up quickly. Earlier this year I managed to score a decent job as a fisherman, itโs great because it took me away from the town for several days, and the rest is history. SO, I think thatโs enough moping around, tell me about yourself.โ
EXTRA info
-Has some cooking experience, though her plates are very simplistic.
-Despite her disdain for technology Nakano is a huge fan of old cinematography.
-Picked up smoking to calm down her stress, the stress hasnโt changed but she continues to smoke.
-Puns are her absolute favorite form of comedy.

โLife after that is such a blur, I took up so many jobs that I can barely remember any of them. Lifeguarding, package delivering, construction worker, hell I even briefly worked at the convenience store that had taken over my grandparentโs shop. And I loathed every single second of those years. I just wanted to go back to the earlier days of peace, why did it have to be like this?...Let's wrap up quickly. Earlier this year I managed to score a decent job as a fisherman, itโs great because it took me away from the town for several days, and the rest is history. SO, I think thatโs enough moping around, tell me about yourself.โ

typical expression: polite smiles never seem to leave her face.
openness โ high. rin is smart and creative. she is open to new experiences and tolerant of different types of people. she likes the idea of travelling to exotic places. she is quick-witted and able to think on her feet, and approaches problems from an unconventional point of view. she isnโt one to follow rules or laws if they stand in her way. her ideas can be too quirky and different sometimes. she likes alternative culture and has a unique sense of style.
conscientiousness โ high. rin is neat and hard working. she pays a great deal of attention to detail. she is image-conscious and dresses in nice clothes. she looks after her diet and likes to keep healthy. she has a clean, tidy, nicely decorated home. she likes to save money and set aside for her future. she works much harder than other people and often overworks herself. she is prone to perfectionism and is her own worst critic. she is always punctual and finds it hard to take a break. she prefers clear boundaries and tends to act with consideration.
extraversion โ low. rin is quiet and reserved. she prefers to stay at home and read books and is often lost in a fictional world. she likes nature and animals. she spends a lot of time thinking, so when she does talk, she usually says something interesting. while she is independent, she can be very assertive and but tends to withdraw when people cross her personal boundaries. she can struggle to summon enthusiasm, especially regarding social events. she is happy in her own company and copes well with living alone. she gets tired easily and needs to spend time alone to recover. people can assume she is aloof or self-absorbed, though that is not always the case.
agreeableness โ low. rin is rarely driven by appeals to emotion. she is not very sympathetic towards others and expects people to look after themselves, as she looks after herself. she can be rude, though she is easy to get along with most of the time. sometimes she appears to be cold, and she does not go out of her way to do things for others. she finds it easy to say no and tends to judge those who can't say no as weak. sometimes she can behave in a manipulative manner towards vulnerable and easily manipulated individuals. she finds it easy to stand up for herself, and rarely takes notice of public judgments.
neuroticism โ low. rin is emotionally stable and rarely suffers from negative feelings. she is largely content with life and tends to take bad news in her stride. her ability to cope well makes her a stabilizing force for others. sometimes she can get into trouble because she does not sense danger and assumes, she is safer than she really is. she is prone to injuring herself through acting recklessly in dangerous encounters, such as a robbery or fight.
rin hasn't always been such a level headed gal, growing up she caused a lot of trouble and was known to start fights over the smallest of things.
she was immediately given to an orphanage after her birth. her mother had unfortunately passed away merely hours after giving birth and her father's whereabouts or identity was unknown. none of her mother's family members were fit to take her in and that's how she ended up getting sent to the orphanage. during this time she was raised alongside the other kids and often competed with them over small things. she was reckless, always starting fights and getting herself into big trouble. at the age of 11, she began sneaking out of the orphanage and wandering into a nearby park. this is where she met haruka.
rin and haruka became instantly became close friends. rin coming to the park more often and warding off those who would often bully haruka. at 13 rin was taken in by a man named kawamoto daisuke, and that's how she received her new last name. daisuke couldn't have children of his own and because of his profession, not very many people wished to become friends with him. let alone lovers. daisuke was a mortician and embalmer (handling the dead is something similar to taboo still.), handling both traditional japanese ceremonies and the practice of embalming. (which is not new to japan, but not widely used yet from my understanding.) it was discovered that haruka lived nearby to rin's new home, and they ended up going to school together. the two became practically inseparable.
at 16, rin decided to follow in daisuke's footsteps and become an embalmer and mortician. working alongside him and planning on taking over his work when he could no longer work or passed away. the two were close, it was a rather awkward father and daughter relationship. it took a while for rin to wark up to him and daisuke wasn't the greatest at raising a child but he managed to learn over time. haruka was pretty much the only one who would hang out with rin once others learned about daisuke's profession and her interest in taking up the practice. though overtime, it stopped bothering rin. she didn't mind hanging out with just haruka and daisuke.
rin was 19 when she realized that she wasn't interested in men romantically. in fact, she grew slightly jealous of them every time haruka would gush about having a crush. that's when she realized that somewhere down the line, her friendship with haruka had become feelings of something more. and in this case, one-sided. trying to understand the change, she decided to go to college abroad. she studied in an american college, majoring in mortuary science. however, while she became less reckless and more level headed, her feelings never changed. in fact, they only solidified.
she returned after 4 years at the age of 24. however, when she went to meet up with haruka to catch up, she discovered haruka was involved in a serious accident that took her life 2 weeks later. rin wasn't in the best mental condition for months after that. it took her a while to cope with haruka's passing. without daisuke there to take care of her and help her through losing haruka, she probably would have never been able to resume her daily life. saying that she recovered would be a lie. even now at the age of 27 she still hasn't been able to fully cope with the loss. every may she goes into a slump, but manages to always pull herself out of it when the months over.
daisuke disappeared just as she turned 27. the police haven't been the most helpful with the case either. with no one to turn to nor idea of where he could have gone, rin found herself falling into her slump again. focused entirely on work and giving up hope on ever living a normal life.

attire: makoto is a well-dressed individual. mainly because of the fact he takes on modeling gigs. it's rare to find him in anything less than something either fashionable or business casual. his go-to is suits and quality shoes that give him a well off business ceo vibe.
what kind of vibe do they give off: he gives off a very easygoing charm that easily makes people comfortable around him.
typical expression: he's always smiling and polite.
openness โ low. makoto is dependable and conventional. he prefers to stick with what he knows and doesn't like eccentric or odd people. he would prefer a package holiday or a holiday in his own country to traveling in different cultures abroad. he approaches problems in a conventional and methodical manner, rather like the tortoise that arrives before the hare. he prefers to dress conservatively and not make a big statement. he is very down to earth.

makoto and yuu haven't had the most ideal life, but somehow the two managed to make it work. after the twins were born, their parents spoiled them with love and gifts. yuu was always more sickly and had to be taken care of and even as a baby, makoto refused to be taken from his side. crying is separated for long periods of time. perhaps that's why he still has the 'over-protective' brother instinct still to this day. things were alright until they were 7. however when the twins turned 7, they took a trip for their birthday. on the way home another vehicle crashed into theirs and flipped it a few times. makoto's father died at the scene and his mother died in the hospital hours later. yuu had suffered some minor injuries and had been in a coma-like state for four days before waking up. makoto on the other hand had taken damage to his left side. his left shoulder was been dislocated and his hearing in his left ear was gone. his leg and shoulder were cut bad from the glass he was trying to shield yuu from.
the twins uncle was called and he took the twins in when they were released from the hospital. life only got worse from there for the two. for one their aunt hadn't wanted to take the kids in, but their uncle had gone against her wishes. in retaliation, she would often make their life extremely hard. doing a ridiculous task here and there, yelling at them for no actual reason. scolding them if they didn't do things exactly her way despite getting the task done right. it was constant yelling. yuu was also still weak and sickly from time to time, catching colds and coughing fits easily. and their aunt refused to help take care of him. so the job was left to makoto, since their uncle was always busy with work. this caused makoto to grow up quickly and take on the parenting role for his brother.
his little niece was born around the time the twins were 11. by the time the twins were 12, the yelling still hadn't stopped. in fact it became more directed towards makoto as he would always shield his brother. makoto started the habit of turning his left ear towards people who were yelling at him around this time. often taking out his hearing aid completely. not that his aunt noticed in her moment of rage. yuu stopped getting sick easy around the time they were 14. that didn't stop makoto from worrying every time yuu would cough. their niece was now around the age of 3 and their aunt would spend more time spoiling her than starting an argument with the twins. but when she did it would go from scolding to yelling, and sometimes to hitting. makoto tried bringing up the issue to his uncle several times, but was called a liar and yelled at more. that's around the time he started resenting his uncle more. to the point, he would start yelling back to try and prove his point.
with no hope for things to stop, makoto focused on graduating highschool as quickly as possible. managing to graduate 2 years early. he didn't go to college. instead, he went to work immediately and started forming connections. most of the money he earned went to get an apartment for him and his brother. the two moved into their own place as soon as yuu graduated. yuu had many scholarships and ended up going to college, and makoto worked to support the two.
makoto was 21 when he was diagnosed with a disease that the doctor said there was no cure for. it was estimated he had around 6-8 years left in his current state. makoto can vividly remember for the first time how he laughed at a doctor's face. how he asked if yuu had set the doctor up to this. when the doctor looked taken aback, makoto remembered worry setting in. the realization that the situation was very much real. his mind became foggy after that, he could hear the doctor's words, but he was too shocked about what was happening he couldn't find a way to cope. all he can remember was that he was running low on time and stress would only worsen his condition. he became extremely worried about leaving yuu behind. he was the only family member left that yuu trusted. he began distancing himself from his friends and throwing himself into work. hoping that if he was to die, at least he could leave behind money for yuu to live comfortably. he never told yuu about what was happening. always pretending everything was normal as to not worry him......

the twins uncle was called and he took the twins in when they were released from the hospital. life only got worse from there for the two. for one their aunt hadn't wanted to take the kids in, but their uncle had gone against her wishes. in retaliation, she would often make their life extremely hard. doing a ridiculous task here and there, yelling at them for no actual reason. scolding them if they didn't do things exactly her way despite getting the task done right. it was constant yelling. yuu was also still weak and sickly from time to time, catching colds and coughing fits easily. and their aunt refused to help take care of him. so the job was left to makoto, since their uncle was always busy with work. this caused makoto to grow up quickly and take on the parenting role for his brother.
his little niece was born around the time the twins were 11. by the time the twins were 12, the yelling still hadn't stopped. in fact it became more directed towards makoto as he would always shield his brother. makoto started the habit of turning his left ear towards people who were yelling at him around this time. often taking out his hearing aid completely. not that his aunt noticed in her moment of rage. yuu stopped getting sick easy around the time they were 14. that didn't stop makoto from worrying every time yuu would cough. their niece was now around the age of 3 and their aunt would spend more time spoiling her than starting an argument with the twins. but when she did it would go from scolding to yelling, and sometimes to hitting. makoto tried bringing up the issue to his uncle several times, but was called a liar and yelled at more. that's around the time he started resenting his uncle more. to the point, he would start yelling back to try and prove his point.
with no hope for things to stop, makoto focused on graduating highschool as quickly as possible. managing to graduate 2 years early. he didn't go to college. instead, he went to work immediately and started forming connections. most of the money he earned went to get an apartment for him and his brother. the two moved into their own place as soon as yuu graduated. yuu had many scholarships and ended up going to college, and makoto worked to support the two.
makoto was 21 when he was diagnosed with a disease that the doctor said there was no cure for. it was estimated he had around 6-8 years left in his current state. makoto can vividly remember for the first time how he laughed at a doctor's face. how he asked if yuu had set the doctor up to this. when the doctor looked taken aback, makoto remembered worry setting in. the realization that the situation was very much real. his mind became foggy after that, he could hear the doctor's words, but he was too shocked about what was happening he couldn't find a way to cope. all he can remember was that he was running low on time and stress would only worsen his condition. he became extremely worried about leaving yuu behind. he was the only family member left that yuu trusted. he began distancing himself from his friends and throwing himself into work. hoping that if he was to die, at least he could leave behind money for yuu to live comfortably. he never told yuu about what was happening. always pretending everything was normal as to not worry him......

Personality
Yasu is an individualist, always aiming to live in the moment rather than planning for long-term success. Sheโs very passionate on things and people she loves, which is great to feed into the artistic, curious, and imaginative side of her, that she takes seriously. Attuned to her emotions, she easily gets along with others, making her charming to others yet despite her ability to get along with others, Yasu values her introvertive side. Living within the moment can have serious repercussions on getting her to commit to something long-term, making her very unpredictable. Despite her passion to pursue her career in the music industry, Yasu gets easily stressed and overly competitive with those who only wish to help her in which donโt help with the fact that she has a very fluctuating self-esteem.
Biography
Sasaki Yasu was raised in Tokyo by her paternal grandfather, the only figure of any semblance akin to a father or mother in her life. Aside from the lingering question of who her parents were, Yasu grew up relatively normal. Her grandfather wasnโt strict nor lax on her upbringing, he encouraged his granddaughter to live a life full of bliss ignorance for a decade. Things would change drastically when she got to her adolescence, and it would never be the same thereafter. If it wasnโt implied in Yasuโs constant wanting of more from life, than it showed in her complete absence being by the very person who raised her. Turns out her grandfather had secrets of his own to hide, and it was pure coincidence that Yasu found out. What he did? It didnโt matter to her so much as the fact he lied to her. Yasu resented him for hiding this secret. Unable to trust him any longer she started staying out longer just to avoid him.
Despite her lack of interest in school, Yasu remained on top of the rankings. Rather, she was more interested in spending time with her motley crew of friends, which included her boyfriend Yuu. Instead of worrying about what the future could hold for her, Yasu was more concerned with living within the moment. A narrow-minded perspective hold on reality when her grandfather suddenly died of a heart attack in their shared apartment. The regret and guilt ate away at her for ignoring him on the evening she wouldโve celebrated his birthday together, instead she was out with her friends causing trouble in the city the night he died.
The death of her grandfather was the eye-opener she needed for reality to come knocking in on her door. Her childhood home she lived in for so long was taken away from her by the landlord. Unable to pay rent when she was too busy in a funk about her grandfatherโs passing, she moved in with her boyfriend shortly afterward. It was Yuu who helped her out of this funk, giving her a new reason in life when he pitched the idea of starting that band theyโve been talking about for the past two years.
Yasu wasnโt just โhangingโ out with her friends, they were one of the many reasons she picked up a guitar in the first place (aside from her grandfatherโs influence.) The nights of singing out at the karaoke bar, Yasuโs vocals were difficult to ignore. Unbeknownst to her, people were talking about her singing ability, only they could never find out who the voice belonged to since Yasu and her crew usually left after an hour of being there. With no one else to lean on aside from Yuu, she gave into his idea of getting proper training for her vocals and guitar skills.
Whilst she was cultivating her skills, Yasu picked up two jobs to help with rent. Year after year it was getting difficult to live in Tokyo, but she remained. The band, JIGOKU, was started when she was only seventeen. With the likes of her friends joining, it was easier to adapt to the vibe of working together. In the beginning, JIGOKU mostly played for small venues and bars even as far for weddings and at kidโs birthday parties. A few of the friends left to pursue different paths in life, which it was sad for Yasu to see her friends give up on their idea but was happy for them to chase after their own dreams. JIGOKU was down only to Yuu, Yasu, and Zenkichi. They put the band on hiatus for a short while till Zenkichi brought in a pair of step-siblings by the names of Tetsu and Shu.
JIGOKU was started back up again with Yasu becoming the sub vocalist and lead guitarist. When she was nineteen, things gain traction for them in the underground scene. Whilst not original, they were highly experimental and their sound was catchy to those willing to listen. Yasu could quit her day jobโkeeping her graveyard shiftโto play at venueโs that held capacity for those in the triple digits. Perhaps by the stroke of luck, JIGOKU suddenly became popular when Yasu turned twenty. Being thrusted in the limelight without an ounce of how to handle the sudden fame became an issue for its members. No longer safe in their apartment, Yasu and Yuu had to move to a more secured apartment building.
JIGOKU steadily climbed in the charts. They were signed to Sony Japan after their initial unexpected rise to fame. The band came at its focal point when their single, โEvermoreโ, became #1 on the top charts for six consecutive weeks. Yasu was twenty-one and engaged to her boyfriend, Yuu of six years. But the plans to get married would never come when Yasu was informed of Yuuโs death. The event of his death would be a breaking point for her and the band. JIGOKU came to a screeching halt, releasing a statement of hiatus.
It was only recently that JIGOKU came back into the industry with new front woman and main vocalist, Erina Kojima joined the band. Yasu remained in her position as the sub vocalist, but things with the band would never be the same after that. Despite not clicking with the new member, JIGOKUโs popularity only increased tenfold. Yasu only had thoughts of someone else and what she could do to have them back.

- Art is by TABAO
- Yasu is allergic to gluten and meat, she almost died as a child when her grandfather fed her sushi for the first time. As a result, Yasu has a specialised diet and always carries an epi pen on her.
- Yasu picked up the habit of smoking after the death of her grandfather. She initially planned to quit after Yuu's constant complaints, but only increased her usage after his death, too.
- Yasu's hobbies include: drawing (she drew the covers for their first two EPs), sleeping, playing animal crossing, taking care of her snake, and reading horror manga.
- When not touring or at meet-and-greets, Yasu can be found sleeping in on her days off. After the passing of Yuu, Zenkichi and she became the sole lyricists but her creativity was heavily relied upon for concepts making her very valuable as a member of JIGOKU yet her sleep suffered for it. She was diagnosed with insomnia and later depression, being one of the only members who has to take medication.

Fuyukichi always seems to present himself with the air of sophistication, and makes it a point to never appear in the eyes of the public without at least a shirt and tie. His dark hair is always slicked back, exposing his forehead, and drawing more attention to his sharp, cold eyes. Though his mouth is often set in a neutral, unfeeling straight line, there are times when it almost seems to curl into a smirk or sneer. His scowls are, similarly, very wan, and seem to resemble a pensive frown than an expression of disgust or anger. With his clothes covering up his physique, he is, under it all, a particularly lean man with well-toned muscles.
PERSONALITY
Fuyukichi is the very image of the modern generation of yakuza. Prim, proper, fastidious, he favors a clean, business-like appearance, rather than the image his forebearers preferred. While this attracts some negative feedback, so to speak, he believes that the age of just force and violence is coming to an end. To that end, Fuyukichi seeks to instil the idea of a 'cleaner' yakuza, and to change the yakuza, he first has to change himself, after all. This is not to say, however, that he doesn't command any respect, or that he is a doormat. Far from it. Rather, the man is a fierce go-getter, pursuing his objectives with ferocity. His veneer of toxicity is hard to penetrate, and he views everyone as simply below him. He only shows respect to one person, and one person only, and that is his Chairman. He ignores anyone who doesn't refer to him with a modicum of respect, and condescends to anyone he doesn't see worthy of his time when he isn't actively ignoring them. Through it all, he speaks in a formal, polite way and tone, just to drive home how irritating he is. Fuyukichi is a prideful man, to compound it all. He knows what waits for him in his life as a yakuza, and is prepared to meet it, and so, he does not beg for his life.
He has his moments where he isn't a sneering, vile person. He praises underlings who do their jobs well, and rewards them as he sees fit. He also understands that not everyone has the drive to discard their morality, and doesn't chide anyone from his family for shirking their duties. He does, however, punish anyone who directly interferes with his business. In all things, fairness must exist, after all. Punishments must be meted, but rewards must also come to those who deserve it. He makes it a point to attend the weddings of his underlings, as well as any funeral, and these are the rare times where he displays true, unmitigated respect for those attending. Under that veneer of scumminess, there is the heart of the man drowned out by his hatred.
Fuyukichi can be considered something of a chauvinist. Though he doesn't hold the idea that women should be confined to household duties, he seems to hold the belief that they are fragile beings that need proper treatment. To women in general, he is much more polite and, dare I say, warm and inviting, regardless of their age or appearance.
BIOGRAPHY
Perhaps, if you turned the clock back 10 years, and asked the Fuyukichi of that time that he would have become the patriarch of the Hanabusa Family, subsidiary of the Matsudaira Clan, at the age of 29, he would have laughed and brushed it off as a joke. Indeed, the young university student of that time had never even dreamed of joining the yakuza.
Prior to his activities as yakuza, Fuyukichi Hanabusa was a bright young man, who had a future ahead of him. As the top scoring student in all of his schools, not half bad looking, and, to top it off, a genuinely nice person, he was, naturally, the popular kid. He came from nothing, with his father being an average salaryman, and his mother an average housewife, so his successes were always a cause for celebration in the household. Fuyukichi was also part of a kendo club in middle school, before changing over to wrestling in high school. Though he attended some competitions, he never won anything above a silver medal. He didn't mind- after all, his education came first. He would later find love with another student named Fukuda Aoi in high school, and both would go on to attend University of Tokyo together.
During this time, he would go on to meet Matsudaira Sohei, the current patriarch of the Seiryuu Clan. To this day, Fuyukichi wonders if it was fate that brought both of them together. After all, one wouldn't have expected a patriarch of his own family to have chosen to eat at a beef bowl outlet. One also wouldn't have expected the usually reserved Fuyukichi to interject in their conversation about beef. From there, the two men became acquaintances, and Matsudaira would go on to take the younger man under his wing. Their relationship grew, and soon, Fuyukichi swore his loyalty to Matsudaira, and became his right hand man when it came to running businesses.
Matsudaira wanted to spearhead the new age of yakuza, to move past the old traditions, and Fuyukichi was just the man to do it. His own men were caught up in traditions, and though they would follow him to hell, he wasn't sure if shifting to a business oriented practice was going to inspire them. New blood like Fuyukichi however, a scholar like him would be able to change the yakuza for the better, or at least he hoped.
To that end, Matsudaira molded Fuyukichi into someone who could handle that responsibility. Slowly, Fuyukichi began to change into the man that he is today. It was noticeable to both his girlfriend and his family, but neither of them bothered to comment on it. As long as he wasn't doing anything dangerous, it should be fine.
However, when he decided to propose to Aoi, things spiralled, and Aoi dug deeper than she should have into his business. When Aoi found out that he was not just collaborating with the yakuza, but was actively working with them, she threatened to leave him. This was one of the few things that stung him, and the one thing that has left a lasting impression on him. Despite this, he declined, telling her that his work with the yakuza would earn them a happy life. He failed to convince her, and she, true to her word, left him. To this day, the man still pines after her, but understands that perhaps that he isn't worthy of her. He often wonders if she too, thinks of him the same. Still, he has turned his back on that past, and moved forwards. With no fetters chaining him to morality any more, Fuyukichi became the Fuyukichi of today.
Fuyukichi graduated from Tokyo University with a bachelor's in business soon after. At around the same time, the previous clan patriarch had 'stepped down', so to speak, and Matsudaira was elected to become the next patriarch. The Matsudaira Clan itself was dissolved into the main family, but Matsudaira handpicked Fuyukichi to lead his own family, giving birth to the Hanabusa Family that still exists today. While this initially upset many in the clan, Fuyukichi's capabilities as both a cunning leader and a shrewd businessman 'made bank' as it were, for the clan, and this assuaged the worries of many of his peers.
EXTRA
He smokes and his favourite brand of cigarettes is Benson & Hedges. He enjoys the rare cigar once in a while, but it is theorised that he only smokes them as a deliberate intimidation technique.
He doesn't have the tattoo. While this is a topic of consternation amongst his own underlings, and argument amongst his higher-ups, he doesn't care much for it. The tattoo is a symbol of the old traditions, and they were trying to move away from that.
Outside of Japanese, he is fluent in English, and can speak some French and Italian.

He smokes and his favourite brand of cigarettes is Benson & Hedges. He enjoys the rare cigar once in a while, but it is theorised that he only smokes them as a deliberate intimidation technique.
He doesn't have the tattoo. While this is a topic of consternation amongst his own underlings, and argument amongst his higher-ups, he doesn't care much for it. The tattoo is a symbol of the old traditions, and they were trying to move away from that.
Outside of Japanese, he is fluent in English, and can speak some French and Italian.

NAME Matsushita Kota
NICKNAME Taji, Matsu
OCCUPATION Firefighter
AGE Thirty Three
BIRTHDAY July 9
GENDER Male
HEIGHT 170 cm/~5'7"
WEIGHT 71 kg/~157 lbs
BLOOD TYPE O-
HAIR COLOR Black
EYE COLOR Grey
MISC While on duty, Kota typically wears form-fitting t-shirts and cargo pants, while opting for looser shirts while off the clock. During the colder seasons, he wears an old leather jacket that's a size too small for him. When applicable, he wears a pair of expensive sunglasses that he keeps in a steel case on his person at all times.
PERSONALITY
Kota is a man rarely seen sober, a surprising and dangerous trait for a man his age and in his field. His general mood varies depending on how much alcohol he has pumping through his system, but it is generally not a positive one. His pessimistic outlook on life makes him hard to strike up conversations with, his eyes always set on what can go wrong in any given situation. He constantly has a sour look on his face, and it's almost like he's allergic to joy, preferring to not partake in any festivities near him in order to brood on his own. His entire demeanor makes him incredibly difficult for strangers or outsiders to approach him for the most part.
He isn't without a soft side, though. He has a soft side for animals, always keeping treats in his pockets for whatever strays walk past him. He's even taken a handful of animals under his own roof to take care of them, specifically sick or disabled ones. He's also much easier on foreigners due to the Chinese blood that runs through him, and his ability to speak the language to a certain degree. His thick outer shell softens a bit around them, though if anyone points it out to him, it isn't uncommon to receive particularly rude gestures back.
When not at the bottom of the bottle, Kota's rough exterior gives way. While still holding his bleak outlook on things, he is much jumpier, and rather paranoid of the world around him. He stutters, and is a bit more standoffish than usual. He's also much more soft-spoken, his voice barely above a whisper, though his words are just as prickly.
BIOGRAPHY
Much of Kota's childhood was uneventful. For the first few years of school, he was an average student, making passing marks and minding his own business, avoiding any and all trouble so he would be spared the rage of his fathers strict 'teachings'. He was raised to respect the authority of the adults around him, even if he disagreed with them or felt slighted by them. Despite his struggles with his subjects, he was liked by a majority of his teachers due to his tendency to not disrupt the class like some other students. During holidays, he would travel to Yokohama where his relatives on his father's side lived and worked in his uncle's restaurant to make some allowance. He got used to the grueling tasks, such as helping move large boxes of ingredients or cleaning the entirety of the dining room.
During high school, he began to fall in with a bad crowd of students in his class, who began to rub off negatively on him. He started to get into fights with students from other schools, he picked up smoking, and he even did his share of vandalizing. During his last year before graduation, he and his posse hatched the idiotic idea to paint obscene art on the Kyobashi Fire Station after one of the firefighters there had scolded one of them about smoking by the subway station. It wasn't long before one of the workers caught them and, in the ensuing chase, managed to catch Kota, while the rest of his 'friends' fled the scene. After being brought inside and being given a scolding that would put American drill sergeants to shame, he fully expected to have the police called on him, but instead, the firefighter brought him back outside with a bucket of water and a cloth, and watched Kota as he cleaned the entire wall. After four arduous hours of nonstop scrubbing, after the sun had fallen and all that was left were the Tokyo lights, Kota had finally cleaned every inch of the wall.
The firefighter let him go, promising not to call the cops if Kota showed up each day for the next two weeks to help with tasks around the station, due to the station being rather understaffed at the moment. Deciding that the manual labor was worth avoiding the possibility of having the police involved, Kota walked to the station each day after school for the next week, completing tasks for the firefighters, such as going and picking them up dinner or helping them clean the firetrucks. Before long, the boy found himself talking to the firefighters more and more, though they mostly initiated it by asking him about school and his hobbies. Kota was rather upset when the two weeks were almost up, but the station sergeant who had chewed him out the first day, Nobu, invited him to go get dinner with them all at the local diner. There, Kota was enamored at the atmosphere, with insults and laughter flying around the table to each other, and the sounds of glasses a silverware clinking on one another as everyone stuffed themselves with delicious food.
After that night, Kota distanced himself from the group at school. He worked harder through the rest of the school year, managing to pass with decent enough marks. The day after he had graduated, he went to the public works building and applied to be a firefighter. He passed the written test and after a quick physical, he was accepted and assigned to the same station he had helped at prior, courtesy of some strings Nobu pulled. Kota trained hard, making enough he could afford a small apartment on his own in the downtown area of Ikebukuro. There, he reconnected with one of the girls he graduated with, Tomomi, that lived in the room below him. This eventually blossomed into a full relationship, and the two moving in with each other by the time Kota was 22. All in all, Kota was living a simple life he never knew he wanted.
As the years went on, Kota's life began to become more stagnant. He enjoyed his job, and he was happy with Tomomi, but he wanted some change. This change came with Nobu, now fire captain at the station, promoting him to sergeant of the Kyobashi Fire Station. With this rise in rank, his pay increased, too, and the very first thing he did with his raise was go to the nearest jewelry store, picking out the nicest ring he could afford for Tomomi, so when the time was right, he could ask her to marry him. It was exactly what he wanted, and felt he needed. He began to make plans to ask her the question on their five year anniversary.
On the night of their anniversary, a major fire broke out in a apartment complex a couple miles from the station. They were the second ones to get there, where a fire had started after one of the lower rooms had an oil fire. After clearing the area, both companies began to try to battle with the roiling flames, which only continued to spread upwards, consuming the building. Most of the residents were able to get out, but a few at the top were unable to make their way to the fire escape. Nobu leapt into action and ran into the burning building, along with another member from the other station. Kota, worried about his mentor, prepared himself to go in after them.
He wasn't more than two meters into the building before it all collapsed around him.
The next time Kota opened his eyes, it was three weeks later and he was in a hospital bed with Tomomi next to him. He was dazed, confused, but mostly worried about what had happened that night. Tomomi wouldn't answer him, much to his frustration, getting more and more aggressive about her avoiding the subject, to the point he reached out and slapped her before being restrained by the other doctors. Eventually, one of the other members of his station, Ichiro, visited him and explained what had happened: the building broke apart from the inside, collapsing floor by floor until it wasn't standing anymore. The half a dozen remaining civilians in the building, the other firefighter, and Nobu, had all perished, either from the fire or from falling. Kota was the only survivor.
Eventually, Kota was released from the hospital, returning home to an empty apartment, with a note from Tomomi he was too scared to open, and only his dog for company. He was given mandatory leave to grieve, which he used most of his time to drown his feelings with hard whiskey, and spent many of his nights sobbing himself to sleep. Eventually, he was cleared to return to work, but he didn't have the same life in his eyes as before. He took his work seriously, and helped train new members, but where he had been energetic and ready to get to work, instead he was cranky and sarcastic. He would work more hours than anyone else, refusing to take holidays, and always kept a flask on him. When he wasn't at work, he wondered over to the first bar Nobu took him to, where he would run the place dry if he could. Some of his family tried to reach out to him, but he ignored them, finding solace in being alone, wishing that that night had never happened.
EXTRA
- Kota's dog, a tosa inu named Yasashi, is a rescue who is missing her front left leg. Kota saved her from a fire and brought her home to care for her until he could find a home for her, but became too attached to her to let her go.
- A gift from his cousin, Kota owns a flask with an engraving of a lung, or Chinese dragon.
- Kota walks with a very slight limp, due to the debris that fell on his leg the night Nobu died. He also has a scar above his eye that he rubs whenever something bothers him.
- Kota speaks Cantonese pretty well, and has a bit of skill with Korean as well.
- Kota's preferred drink is Yoichi whisky.

Nicknames || Gen, Key.

Height || 5 ft 1.5 in/156.21 cm
Weight || 110 lbs
Body Type || Ectomorph
{{Genkei always had trouble gaining weight, even before transitioning. Often being able to collapse his stomach enough to define sharply where his ribcage ended. As mentioned before, Key hasnโt had top or bottom surgery, so itโs often a sore spot to notice his wider hips. Or even his chest on his scheduled โday offโ from his binder.}}
Blood Type || AB+
Hair Color || Honey Blonde
Eye Color || Ocean Blue
Fashion Style || Streetwear
{{Hoodies, baggy clothing, sweats. Clothing that prioritizes comfort and hiding his physique. Though Key will have the confidence occasionally to stretch into more unfamiliar territory, but for now it's all sweaters and anime t-shirts.}}

- A light dusting of freckles and moles decorate his forearms.
- light scars across his hands, mostly his non-dominant hand. His left.
{{From some "stupid" accidents, such as burns from a toaster.}}
- A fading scar across his nose. Right where his glasses sit.
PERSONALITY || Upon first meeting, Genkai is withdrawn. Choosing to observe situations and leave most decisions to others, ghosting from place to place. Falling into patterns of discomfort and anxiety, such as shying from touch, unconsciously scratching his arms, and avoiding eye contact. Sadly, experience has taught him to be cautious. But being cautious doesn't mean being a pushover. Key's has a sharp tongue for those who step beyond his boundaries, and should it escalate, some fists too. Momma may have had a shy kid, but she never raised a weak kid. However, as long you respect, you can begin to start seeing Genkei's true personality peak through. He'll visibly soften. Standing closer, small smiles, slouching. He'll make effort to check-in occasionally, and start showing more spine in decisions making. And when he's fully comfortable... Marshmellow. Marsh. Mellow. A very passionate person. If you manage to get him speaking on something he enjoys, have fun getting him to shut up. However, let him ramble enough, his brain will eventually catch up and the embarrassment will set in.
BIOGRAPHY ||
When Genkei was born, he grew up as Lily Smith until his first year in high school. Now Lily didn't have the greatest start in life. She had been raised in a traditional American household. A man, his beautiful wife, and his pretty daughter, sitting nicely within the middle class. Had all the traditional problems of an American household too. Husband with a wandering eye, check. Arguments over their only child, check. Wife belittled for seeking out help for her Depression, check. Thankfully, Lily's mom, Joy Li, was able to leave her husband with her child before things could escalate beyond just verbal abuse. The first few years were a difficult time for both Lily and Joey. The loss of a parent left Lily shy and withdrawn, but Joy came out stronger than ever. She strived to be a good single mom before eventually deciding to attempt to seek love again when Lily was starting middle school. It wasn't like Joy wanted to stay single forever. Especially since she long realized once out of her ex's suffocating attention that she wasn't straight like she previously thought, but Bi. Joy had tried to date for a while. But sadly it was becoming quickly disheartening with each failed attempt. It was after a particularly nasty encounter with a potential date that Joy stomped out of, she found herself bumping into a random woman in the supermarket in her frustration. It was the straw that broke the camel's back as she started to sob in front of this complete stranger. Despite such a strange meeting, the woman is able to calm down Joy and the two actually hit it off quite well. And three years later, the stranger becomes family. Emica Aoki, a Japanese immigrant, and now Genkai's second mother.
Lily began to slowly come out of her shell in this new, stable and healthy environment. Especially exploring clothing. Wearing more towards more masculine clothing compared to when she was still with her dad. Fewer dresses, and skirts. More of jeans and t-shirts. Lily supposed when it finally clicked was during their freshmen year of high school. It was cold outside and too early to properly pay attention to what she was wearing when she went to the school's media center. Lily's long hair at the time tucked neatly into a beanie despite the dress code. Her teacher and herself were having trouble accessing the school assigned laptop, so Lily had been told to seek assistance in the center. And then it happened.
"How can I help you, sir."
Sir... The feeling of absolute joy. The sense of fulfillment. In a single moment, that single word made Lily felt seen. Of course, the teacher panicked once Lily responded, but for a moment. All she could think was:
"There I am."
Of course, his moms, being part of the LBGTQ+ themselves, whole-heartedly supported him. Emica spent hours with her son pouring over possible names, before offering the name Genkei. "To be honored." Joy sitting as support during doctor appointments to set up hormone treatment and speech therapy. Both encouraging their baby to explore himself, further and further. Pushing his natural desire to create and molding it into art. As well as his natural desire to brighten people's day. All this lead to two events, the first being that Genkei began his journey as a social media presence as he documented his transition. The second lead to him and his mothers moving to another state, and eventually to Japan. As throughout this, Joy's family had a strict opposition to Key transitioning, which came as a shock as they were completely fine with his mothers' marriage. Genkei was fully prepared to simply ignore the situation. But one day, one of his uncles had come over while his moms' were out. It seemed fine so far. His uncle was even warmly joking with him... Then his uncle needed to use the restroom. Everything seemed fine, but it wasn't until later that night that some concerned family sent a video that his uncle posted. Burning not only his trans flag that he knew for a fact was in his LOCKED room, but several of his binders and his hormone kit. The worst part was seeing the caption "I'll do this as long as I need to for my niece."
The years afterward were both Genkai's lowest and highest points. Not that he didn't think the decision to move into a better environment was wrong. Key spent this time building up his following across his platforms.

NAME Yaksha, Konrad
NICKNAME Kon
OCCUPATION Plainclothes Detective, Tokyo Police Force (Ex-Special Forces, American Military)
AGE 28
BIRTHDAY June 30
GENDER Male
HEIGHT 6'0
WEIGHT 182 lbs
BLOOD TYPE O-
HAIR COLOR Red
EYE COLOR Red
MISC Always wears his dog tags no matter what. They are his most precious possession.
PERSONALITY
The Wit - Konrad is the sort to almost always have a retort or response to anyone or anything that has a response for him, typically in the form of sarcasm, which can either be positive or negative, but is always cutting. This is known as The Wit amongst other soldiers and some law enforcement. It is a way for him to deal with traumatic situations and to gauge how people respond, testing their temperament, and it's also just plain fun to do. He also happens to be a master at one-liners and quips, often displaying this prowess, whether others wish to hear it or not; probably read too many books on this kind of stuff honestly.
Questionable Lawman - Konrad is the type that wants to get stuff done and that doesn't always mean using the straight and narrow path. More often than not in his career as Special Forces and as a Detective, if you follow the law to the letter, you don't really get anywhere too quickly. So occasionally you may see him take a slightly offbeat approach, maybe a little violence to make someone talk, perhaps a bit of cash, or a favor for a favor. Whatever it takes to accomplish his goal without breaking the law too much. Almost always though, he seems to get results, even if he has a little bit of a bad reputation at the precinct.
Wild West - He has never been shy when it comes to a fight, whether with fists or and old fashioned shoot out. This Wild West style of law, or Loose Cannon, has gotten him a fairly odd reputation at the precinct. Of course, he his his captain's worst nightmare, a venerable blizzard of paperwork because of damages and emotional harm to others. On the other hand however, he is a bit of a folk hero for the regular cop, the one that wants to be part of the action, yet can't bring themselves to do so. As such, he is a bit more prone to violence once his patience is tried a bit too much, although he never would attack an innocent bystander.
BIOGRAPHY At the age of 17, Yaksha Konrad, formerly Konrad Sanada before the name change, joined the American Army and shortly after his basic training was recruited by the Special Forces. A lot of information during this time is redacted and classified, however it is known that at some point during his tenure in the Special Forces he changed his last name from Sanada to Yaksha at the behest of his squad mates. Before this time, Konrad had been born in the Kyushu region of Japan to his mother and father, their names have been redacted for their safety. Siblings are also redacted. He has obtained the purple heart and medal of honor for one particular mission out in Uzbekistan. Mission [Redacted] was conducted on [Redacted] into the village of [Redacted] with a small squad containing one Yaksha Konrad, known to squad mates as Kon. After securing the village through a series of skirmishes with Taliban forces, Kon and his team prepared to relinquish the village to the elder, yet were ambushed from the mountains. A day of siege by mortar had crippled the village itself, but the Special Forces unit, Unit Romeo, entered the mountains in order to protect the villages. Most of the squad was lost in the conflict, Kon badly wounded carried Maj. [Redacted] down the mountainside to the village for medical aid after successfully routing the Taliban forces. After treating Maj. [Redacted] wounds, he returned to the mountainside and located his wounded companions, saving the lives of the other four men. During the search, he participated in several small skirmishes with the scattered Taliban forces, killing nearly fifty enemy combatants with either rifle or CQC weaponry. Shortly after that tour, his contract was up for Reenlistment, however Kon left the Special Forces to return home to Japan.
After joining the police force in Tokyo, Kon rapidly rose through the ranks thanks to his previous training in Special Forces. Still quite capable of speaking Japanese as well as English, he was an asset in many areas of patrol and proved to be an effective police officer. After making Detective at just 25 years of age, one of the youngest ever in the district. As such, he has been used in numerous undercover operations and stings due to his young age. Currently, he was placed deep in the Yakuza in order to find the head of the families. So far it has been two years of undercover work as he worked his way up the ranks of the Yakuza, but he is still not close enough to find the heads of the families. Then an incident occurred to pull him off the board completely...
