Name:
Nakata Okichi
Age:
16
Sex:
Female
Class:
2-B
Appearance:
Standing at 6'3", Nakata towers over most people. Along with her odd newer fashion style she may even seem intimidating to some in contrast with her former casual middle school look.
Personality:
Nakata seems to be the human antithesis to effort, considered by many to be an accumulation of the most wasted potential. Nakata has great difficulty becoming invested in nearly anything including her own appearance, resulting in the outlandishly bizarre fashion styles she creates every other few months or so. With the inability to show interest in almost everything, many who recently meet her would assume she's just a lazy careless type. And for the most part they'd be correct. Nakata seems to thrive on her own disregard for passion, casually slogging her way through the day with a demeanor which makes it seem as though she could easily sleep through a bloody warzone with no hassle whatsoever. However, those who've known her for longer find that this demeanor is at complete contrast with the scope of her ability. Nakata has always been unnaturally prodigious in any field she put even the smallest amount of effort into, often times rising above professionals just out of sheer natural talent. But since all she actually seems to want to do is passively laze around, she just lets all that natural talent go to waste by casually ignoring as many chances as she can. If it weren't for her brother's constant attempts to one up her in various competitions, she'd easily be able to slink into the background.
With an inability to get invested in most things, Nakata seems consistently humored by everything. Humored by insults, humored by unfunny jokes, and even humored by her brother's insistence that they be rivals. As she never really thought about her own talent farther than how much effort she'd have to put into utilizing it, she considers people getting worked up about it to be quite humorous. As a result there's not many things she can consider herself passionate towards besides relaxing.
Bio:
Nakata was born to an upper middle class family who worked hard, but was never in any deep monetary issues. Since youth she always loved resting and playing around with her younger brother, living it up. She was often rewarded for how quickly she was able to learn things, but often never thought past the tasty treats she was rewarded with. As they got older, Nakata started school on a good note. She was easily able to do the activities her teacher wanted her to, better than most she heard. These also led to some pretty tasty treats, but for some reason her little brother started distancing himself from her. She initially assumed it was because he was ashamed of her, and though it hurt, she learned to live with it. As they moved up through the grades however, things began changing. Suddenly the treat rewards were replaced by long-term plans, and Nakata was never one to think long term. Her parents had said all those treats would be bad for her, that she'd get fat or something, even though Nakata couldn't remember ever getting fat. Even after sneaking sugary treats for months she was still being complimented for her looks by her classmates. With the treats no longer encouraging her to focus, and the realization that she could just get them from somewhere else, Nakata began taking extensive power-naps in school. Her parents and teachers always scolded her for this, but seeing as she still ended up with top grades she never really saw a problem. She could figure stuff out pretty quickly, so losing sleep time or time to chat with her friends to listen to some droning methods that she could've figure out in in a small fraction of the time seemed redundant.
Her mother had come to the conclusion that she needed something school related to get invested in, and had begged her to try a club of some sort. She was always sort of a sucker for family, and ended up randomly signing up for a club before figuring out what it entailed. Baseball, she heard about it, but could never stand to watch enough of an episode to learn more. So she was recruited, took one look at what they were supposed to do and immediately started power napping through those lessons as well. She almost made friends there, who often joked with her about how much training she was missing, until her coach hesitantly pulled her into a game and she immediately won it for them. Her teammates had immediately pegged her for someone who practiced on their own schedule, and they probably would've laughed over it if she hadn't admitted that it just seemed easy to her. While she still had friends on the team, the majority seemed to take offense at what she said, despite her complete honesty with them.
She left the team soon afterwards, since she hadn't really been invested and the way her teammates seemed to hate her unusual talent for it. It was similar in the few other clubs she attempted, she'd joined quite a few over several months. Ranging all the way from track to drama it almost always ended the same way. She'd join up, find every aspect of it to be too easy, upset other members with how easy she found it, then leave out of disinterest. Soon enough she just stopped trying, but her attempts did yield quite the number of admirers. She always did feel flattered by the confessions, and even decided to give the whole relationship thing a go for a while. She was dumped several weeks later for 'not caring enough about the relationship' but she got over it far easier than her ex did. It just seemed like a lot of work, so she started ignoring confession letters all together.
So she started letting her grades slip, she could easily get back to the top of her class if she wanted to, but suddenly putting minor effort for those perfect grades seemed a bit much. It was comfy with average grades, where she barely had to try in order to keep going to school. Her parents had been heartbroken, but all in all she really didn't care at that point. And that was when her brother finally confessed what was bothering him, apparently he'd been upset by how easily she did stuff which had made her laugh. That was it? Hardly speaking to her and giving her a bit of a cold shoulder for the same reason all those teammates did? She tried again and again to explain how it wasn't really much of a big deal, but he insisted he beat her at something. After failing to beat her for several weeks he got more angry with and eventually started saying pretty nasty things about her, claimed she was cheating or mocking him and that she had no idea what it was like to struggle or something, which was pretty accurate. Her lack of worry over these sayings simply drove him further and further to find something he could beat her at, though Nakata mostly focused on how much better his grades got ever since he started trying to one up her. She was just happy he was acknowledging her again, seeing the whole rivalry shenanigans as sibling bonding, she somewhat reluctantly let him pull her around wherever to play. It was during their last year of middle school that she started dressing up in bizzare sub-styles, just to mix it up a bit. Trading in her glasses for strange contacts, she found it much more entertaining to look in the mirror now and then.

Name:
Toyama Okichi
Age:
16
Sex:
Male
Class:
2-B
Appearance:
Toyama is more or less just the average looking green haired guy.
Personality:
Toyama at first may seem like a slightly smarter everyday guy with an aggressive penchant for self-improvement, able to contribute to a group with his knowledge while also being more than happy to engage in some friendly banter along the way. However, all pretense of a casual demeanor goes right out the window when his sister is involved. And due to the nature of their relationship, that's more often than not. Over the years Toyama has developed an unhealthy obsession with finding something he can do better than his sister, literally anything. He's constantly dragging her around various activities and forcing her to compete against him only to lose and become even more enraged in the process. It's gotten to the point where everything he does seems to revolve around surpassing her inhuman natural talent, and its definitely been affecting how others see him as well. He always tries to keep her within eyesight, convinced that she would cheat in their next competition if given the chance. His speech towards her has often devolved into angry rants which she hardly replies to in any satisfying way, and he often refers to her as the Final Boss instead of Sister most of the time.
Around others he mostly tries to come off as an intelligent individual who knows what he's talking about, mainly to soothe the festering feelings of self-pity he's been fostering ever since realizing how unfairly better at everything his sister is than him. Often times he'll act supportive, not going out of his way to help others but to be there if the situation demands it. He considers beating the Final Boss to be a much higher priority than most others would, and the nasty way he refers to his own sister may put people off considering how normal he acts without her. He's aggressively self-improving, at least in the mental field. He's never been much of a physical individual and he was only slightly above average before he started competing with his sister, he can respect the effort put into those sports unlike some people but just doesn't find it to be his metaphorical cup of tea. He often keeps logs of his activities, just to see signs of improvement.
Bio:
Born only two hours after his sister, Toyama is convinced that those hours made literally all the difference in the world. As infants they were comfortable with one another, often times as they grew his sister would use him as a makeshift pillow at literally any and every time. He was too young to realize that she'd learned how to speak earlier than him, he was too young to realize how quickly she was able to walk. But as they got older, it became more apparent to young Toyama that his sister was gifted in ways he could only dream of. At first it was just a passing annoyance, she had always wanted to be close to him, hang out and play games together. And he initially enjoyed until he realized she always finished her half of the puzzles twice as fast as him. They'd play tag around the house only for her to beat him every time in a landslide. Toyama was actually glad to start school and meet other kids who he could equate with, he could finally disentangle himself with his sister and make some friends he could actually connect with.
But even then all anybody could talk about was his sister, how beautiful her crayon drawings were, how easily things like math came to her, how downright prodigious her writing was. It started getting downright ridiculous when the teacher had them play kickball, only for his sister to get perfect home runs every time she was up to kick.
It only got worse as they moved up the grades, his sister started getting lazier and lazier as she got bored of the praise her parents offered her. This made it all the more insulting when she started sleeping straight through entire classes but still ended up managing to score top grades. Suddenly all the studying, all the research and effort Toyama was putting in their projects seemed pointless when his sister could wait till the last minute and still receives full marks for the somehow amazing piece she turned in. It wasn't just academics either, he watched his sister get into a school baseball team per their mother's begging, then lead them in a landslide victory in their very first match together after sleeping through the majority of their practice sessions. It was humiliating that he couldn't even surpass the regular guys on his volleyball team with weeks of training, infuriating that all that studying wouldn't get him even close to his sister's marks, and insulting on an entirely new level when she develops into an even more popular individual than him because, for some reason, the universe decided to give her looks on top of ability as well. Literally every other day some random dude would stop them on the way home for a confession, Toyama didn't think it could get worse until suddenly girls were confessing to her as well.
Half of middle school was this constant mind-shattering loop of inferiority, and for some reason his sister acted like it was the most natural thing in the world! Like upstaging everyone like that wasn't even supposed to be a big deal!!! And then her grades dropped... It had happened gradually, after she quit the baseball team for some reason her grades sunk to just above average. Just enough for her to stay in the passing field, but never higher. Toyama thought this would be his chance, she had obviously stopped caring so maybe if he studied aggressively he could finally beat her at something. The days leading up to the test were filled with all-nighters and energy drinks, the disgusting caffeine filled ones that usually he would avoid religiously. He taunted her at every possible step with his soon to be victory, though the effect was somewhat lost due to her happy encouragement of him. And it was the day before that test that he demanded she give it her all, to which she shrugged.
The next day they both aced the test, which initially Toyama took as a sign that he had finally found something he could match her in. She'd given him all types of heartfelt congratulations for this big moment, and then he demanded to compare their test notes. It was there that he saw it, pages and pages of intricate mathematical formulas that actually went on for longer than the actual test. He needed to know, demanded to know, was determined to know how she managed college level formulas when that wasn't even part of the curriculum. She'd casually replied, "Well I didn't actually think that Mr. Hanova's way of doing this stuff was the easiest, so I sorta just made up all this other stuff during the test to make solving a bit easier."
From then on it never ended, Toyama was determined to beat this inhuman creature no matter how long it took. He couldn't beat her in a physical sense, she'd incapacitated her gym teacher the first time she ever tried dodgeball, and he'd never been too good at any physical activity. He'd have to beat her in anything else, so that's what he did. Even after she started mashing together dress styles, he consistently dragged her from activity to activity, always trying to get one step ahead of this impossible figure, all the way to high school.
