Name: Arielle Bellemont

Alias/es: Arie
Age: 26

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 135 Lbs

Complexion: Alabaster pale

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Brunette

Apparel: As pictured above, except she is wearing full length skinny jeans. She does not believe in luck, but always keeps a pocket emergency kit in her purse and a copy of "The God Delusion"

Personality: Analytical to a fault she overthinks everything, often getting lost in her own thoughts in the process. She really is kind hearted, and wishes people the best, but her serious personality can make her hard to work with. Sarcasm and abstract humor go over her head, and as a result she can take offence where none was meant. Or even worse she tries to be funny but it comes out wrong and offends those around her. As a result she tends to speak more formally than the average person, hoping her words have the appropriate meaning to the person she is talking to. Though she does look down on the religious as "thoughtless" she can still be professional and fully cooperate with them. Most of all though she loves being right and will correct people without invitation.

History: Arielle was born in Osaka to a loving mother and an abusive Evangelical father, both originally from France. At age 2 her mother ran away, taking the young Arielle with her. By age 4 her mother had settled down with a new lover, a woman named Narumi (or as Arielle called her "Mimi"). These women are the only family she ever remembers and for this she is very glad, but knowledge of her father's abuse and repression of her mother gave her a hatred of religion.

A natural student she always got high marks in school and would spend her free time reading all sorts of books. Despite being at best middle class somehow her mothers both ensured that their daughter had all the books she could ever want, which meant her tiny bedroom resembled a library with a small bed in it.

In high school she discovered her two true loves, genetics and debate. Even while keeping up he grades she took part in the debate team, though she never won any awards. Her junior year her name became well known in Japan when she published an open letter to a Catholic Cardinal, and the story took off in the media. The letter was outright blasphemy and accused the Catholic church, point blank, of preventing social progress and hypocrisy, using genetics to attempt to disprove Adam and Eve among other things.

The scathing letter earned her a fair number of haters, but also attracted colleges that wanted a bright mind that was highly motivated. Senior year she accepted an offer from University of Tokyo for a full ride scholarship (in exchange for her majoring in genetics and working for the department for 6 years after graduation). Through college she started accepting invitations to debates with various people, with some even becoming televised affairs. Her love of debate, and being right, kept her on this path and eventually she became a well known speaker for the atheist community.

The past several years since graduation have been rather simple, she works at the university to try and isolate the genes that cause cancer and spends her weekends doing debates with many officials over religion. An abrasive figure to say the least she met her match at a debate in her new home of Tokyo. During a televised debate with a Muslim cleric and extremist from the crowd charged the stage, slit her throat and stabbed her 36 times before security managed to restrain him. She bled to death on live tv, the woman that dared to challenge the world.

Other: She always kept a basic emergency kit in her purse (about the size of two Altoids tins) and pepper spray.

Name: Gokyo Itachi
Alias/es: -
Age: 36

Height: 6'
Weight: 170 lbs
Complexion: Tan
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Dark brown
Apparel: Simple blue tee shirt, brown leather biking jacket, blue jeans and work boots.

Personality: Itachi is outgoing, pleasant and quite friendly, though in new situations he is rather awkward and shy. He is also quite analytical beneath his soft, charming personality, as well as calculated and precise from his years spent working as a crane operator.

History: Itachi is your average American blue-collar worker, holding a steady job as a freight mover in a shipyard in Tokyo. He's the one that operates the huge crane that lifts and moves containers within the freight yard itself. A crane driver, if you will.

Born to a very average family, Itachi took after his father, a rough and tumble maintenance worker, in life and its intricacies. He was what you'd call a simple man with simple dreams: to have a stable job, a family and a house all of his own. Obviously working in the regular blue-collar industry wasn't enough for that, but with the added risk of, say, heavy duty machinery and whatnot, that would be more than enough. Being a modern-day dockworker was just what he needed to live his simple dream life.

Now obviously you didn't need a whole lot of academic qualifications to become a dock worker, but Chris powered through school anyway, getting himself good enough grades each year, and enough to graduate respectably. After that, he took on a life in simple work, helping neighbours move things, taking up part-time jobs in groceries and warehouses as heavy lifters, until his father recommended him to work at the Port of Tokyo. His dad knew the foreman of the freight yard, and since his son was adapted well enough into the simple life, he agreed to take him on. For months Itachi was trained and instructed on the use of the various vehicles and machines within the shipyard; forklifts, heavy duty cranes, how to handle a container on a winch, the whole nine yards. After two years he was easily one of the finest crane operators in the yard.

If you had to ask him what would be the highest point of his life, it would be when he married his wife, Hanao Osaka. They lived together for two years before having their first child, a son by the name of Gin. Three years after that, they had a daughter, Ichi. They moved into a small semi-detached house near the docks; convenience for the father, mostly, but with schools nearby for the kids and work in short order for mum.

Other: Itachi very regularly totes a brown leather messenger bag. Within it is his wallet, cellphone, personal organiser and a pocket knife.

I'm sorry I can't provide the huge-ass histories that you all have. I kinda wrote this in a hurry and I really wanted to play and flesh out an average joe in a very profound situation.

Name: Karime Ochiro

Alias/es: Stage name - Haruka

Age: 21

Height: 5'2

Weight: 121lbs

Complexion: Fair

Eye Color: Teal

Hair Color: Dyed Teal, Natural is black

Apparel: Stage clothing usually consists of beautifully handcrafted halter tops with large, puffy short skirts and handgloves. Wears a headset microphone and knee-high stilleto boots. Day to day she'll wear a similar outfit, with a normal, flouncy skirt and haltertop shirt. She usually wears gorgeous and expensive sunglasses and a sunhat to keep her identity under wraps from fans, and also wears pumps when walking around town. Her favorite accessory is a necklace on a thin chain around her neck, bearing a small round locket with a picture of her baby sister and her.

Personality: While Karime off the stage is very private, shy, and lacking in self confidence, her stage persona, Haruka, is the complete opposite. For the fans and the cameras, Haruka is brimming with self confidence and happiness, always pledging to be fashion forward and reaching for the stars in more ways than one. Karime, on the other hand, is often hard to talk to. She's twitchy, always looking over her shoulder in paranoia and when she feels pressured, breaks down. She shuts down in the face of difficulty or problems, with intense social anxiety that makes her hardly able to function.

History:
Karime Ochiro was born in Kyoto, Japan with the aid of a midwife. Ever since she was little, she loved to sing to herself and found herself too shy to try to show others--until she met Himika. Himika was a neighbor girl that loved picking flowers with Karime and telling stories about how they had traveled all over Japan before coming to move near Karime. Karime spent every moment she could with Himika between classes, studying and chores, which her parents always watched her play fondly with. However, once Karime turned 8, her parents became concerned and confronted Karime about her friendship with Himika. Naturally, in confusion, Karime defended her friend, clueless as to why her parents would suddenly take issue with her being around. The argument became heated, her parents throwing confusing sentences at her like "You're too old for an imaginary friend." and "Himika isn't real, you need to make friends with other children."

A little later, Karime was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Able to receive necessary treatment, she was told to take prescription medication in order to make her hallucinations go away. She was hesitant, and most of all distraught. She told Himika, in tears, that her parents said they couldn't be friends anymore. While the hallucination initially laughed it off, she later became angry when Karime persisted in what she was saying, and then violent. While Karime took her pills as instructed, Himika's persona became distorted, vengeful, telling Karime to kill herself, to hurt her parents and other children... and eventually she disappeared. The attacks left Karime in a depression, and as she advanced into middle school, she became a loner.

One day, having had to stay after class to help clean up the classroom, Karime thought she was alone and began singing along to a soft ballad. However, one of the girls had come back to retrieve a forgotten item and heard her. She applauded when Karime had finished singing, leaving Karime incredibly embarassed, but she was quickly told not to worry about it, and that her singing was amazing. The girl pointed her to Idol auditions in the area and, with much pushing, she nervously went to try out. Shakily, she walked into see the board of directors that she would perform for. With wobbling knees, she belted out the best song she knew, and as she took on an audience, a feeling of confidence bloomed in her chest, causing her showmanship to improve tenfold naturally in front of them. Stunned by her performance, she was immediately signed a contract and began her career as an Idol under the name "Haruka."

After being transformed with a new look, Haruka immediately began travelling all over Japan doing concerts, going onto television shows, reality show segments, guest starring on films, the whole shebang. After years upon years of high stardom, her rise has began to crumble after a recent scandal revealing her relationship with a talent director that had seduced her at a party when she was nineteen years old. She still has very many loyal fans regardless and has manage to make very many other starry-eyed friends. But when the lights go down and the fans go home, she's left alone on stage in the darkness. That depression she felt as a teen never really went away and with the slander coming her way, she started having more mental breakdowns off camera and one on camera that made her lose even more fans, and caused her to escape the spotlight entirely out of her persona for a solid three months now. Then, as Karime, she was trying to go back to her penthouse by using the subway when a group of rough housing boys accidentally pushed her onto the subway tracks. Though she scrambled to get up, it was too late. The subway decapitated her as she let out a choked scream and left her head rolling down the tunnels, the expression of horror still left on her face. In her final moments, she saw a twisted, older version of Himika grinning at her in front of the train.

The Idol Haruka was deemed missing.
