Name:
Eric Welsh

Handle:
Eric

Gender:
Male

Age:
20

Personality:
Eric is very cold outwardly only opening up to people he believes worthy of his trust. Once that trust is earned though he'll never betray the person who earned it. He is very icy and logical during battle befitting someone who uses an ice based deck. Easily bored and very irritated by uninteresting opponents. Eric duels for the sake of entertaining himself only breaking his icy shell against interesting and exciting opponets.

Bio:
Eric was born in North America around the time the American Dueling league was really taking off. Lucky for him as the small town he grew up in quickly became bland to him. When he was 12 he saw a broadcast of the National duel championship and instantly knew he found how to break the monotony of his hometown buying a deck the very next day and quickly becoming the town champion. At 14 he entered and won the regional junior championship. Naturally as he went into the pro Duelist life he continued expanding his skills eventually learning how to turbo duel.

One day he got a strange email inviting him to a tournament on a remote island with a 1 million dollar prize. Almost immediately he boarded the plane there not interested in the prize money but in the strong opponents a tournament like this would attract.

Guardian Monster:

Name: Elise Ryton
Handle: Liz
Gender: Female
Age: 23

Personality:
Elise is a patient, caring person, though snappy at times. She easily loses herself in competition and will never give less than her all once she gets fired up. She's occasionally tried to give more than her all, resulting in risky situations and often muscle-aches that would last days after. She enjoys repairing things and playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, though she isn't quite sure what to make of her guardian.

Bio:
Elise was born into a dirt-poor family. She started working when she was still relatively young, taking small jobs to get by. One day, she encounterd a man, approximately in his 30s. The man gave her a deck of cards and a stack of cash. When she went home to show her parents, they scolded her for "stealing" the money. Clearly they didn't believe in random strangers handing out money. That was, until the man himself (who had seemed like a god to the young Elise) came over a few days later and explained what had happened. It seemed as if the man had also explained why, but even today these reasons are unknown to Elise.

Since her encounter she has dueled a lot, including games with an ante as well as some underground tournaments, the money of which she used to start a small business for a more consistent income. Running a small shop for repairing motorbikes, bicycles and the like. She'd still duel whenever she had the chance, but not as often as before, partially due to her not participating in underground tournaments anymore.

One night an email came in, which on it's own wasn't anything unusual. The contents were a surprise to her, though. Normally she'd receive emails requesting repairs or planning for said repairs, and occasionally a stubborn email about some underground tournament. This email, while she'd almost dismissed it as one, turned out to be no underground tournament at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite. An official tournament with an astonishing price of 1 million. Sure, she got by nowadays, but 1 million was simply to much to pass one. Determined to play, she left for the tournament. Determined to win, she planned to leave with the prize.

-NAME-
Masuo Itaki

-HANDLE-
Itaki

-AGE-
26

-PERSONALITY-
Energetic and fun loving, Itaki is a childish man with a heart of gold; Constant smiles and humor, especially when enjoying his hobby of dueling. He considers himself to be motivational to the younger generation, often pushing them to succeed, even against him in a match. While he can come off as a man that is silly with a lack of seriousness, when he intends to teach a moral to someone, he nails it in effectively; Willing to scold others without hesitance if he believes them to be in the wrong, while praising those he believes ought to succeed.

Itaki has a weakspot for women; Often cutting younger girls slack and being overly polite and flirtatious towards adult women, easily snapping off at anyone that tries to potentially ruin his chances with the woman in question. He's one to give dating advice despite not holding a relationship himself; Though occasionally what he has to say is fairly useful, at least if you're desperate.

In the business world, Itaki is still light hearted, but takes his work seriously. He can be seen as a stern individual, but always polite; His workers seem to respect him very much, and the man himself is successful; Showing he knows what he's doing and is, despite his childish hobbies, a man with plenty of professionalism when needed.

-BIO-
Itaki is the C.E.O of an architecture company, and on the side, a joyful aspiring duelist. Being blessed with a Guardian passed down from his ancient descendants, Itaki had discovered it at a young age as he started playing Duel Monsters, having a friend unique to him one that could turn the tides of battle if used correctly. He simply considered this awesome, and slowly grew attached to the spirit; But lost the opportunity to duel as much once he had to start taking over his family's business.

Though it was stressful at times, Itaki has grown into a successful man with a business that has only become more valuable since he was put in charge; Though that never was enough to push away his urge to duel. His employees, random people on the streets, even other business owners, though they were few and far between. He enjoyed dueling, and being able to partake in the activity motivated him to continue his work.

When he was checking his business email, he was surprised with the invite to the tournament; But he didn't think much more of it, due to sheer excitement. While it was suggested by his peers he shouldn't go as it'd be bad for the business, he pointed out that the one million dollar reward would make up for his absence. That was just an excuse, though. He already had money; He was here for something much more valuable.

He was here to have fun.

-THEME-

Name
Shinji Gami

Handle
N/A

Appearance
Shinji is in the prime of his youth, and it shows. His face is slender, sharp and clean shaven. His long, silver hair barely floats above the ground and covers his right eye, with the other being a nice hazel color. He usually wears a black longcoat with a dark blue button-up shirt underneath. Shinji keeps up his long, dark gray trousers with a chocolate brown belt and wears a pair of black shoes. His height is above average, coming up to 1m85. He wears two separate necklaces; A small pendulum he keeps on his exposed chest and a long, silver cross that lazily rests on his shirt. Visual Aid. His Duel Disk is shaped like a gun, with the loader being replaced by a deck holder. Once the disk's deck is loaded in and it's strapped to a duelist, the barrel unfolds and gives the player a field to work with. Visual Aid.

Gender
Male

Age
24

Personality
Shinji is, for lack of a better term, an extreme edgelord. He's always broody and moody and can't seem to say a single sentence that doesn't look ripped from a bad fanfiction. Cheering him up seems nigh-on impossible, as is getting him seriously angry. His eyes are always dull and it takes a lot to get him to smiles, to the point where it doesn't seem like he's even enjoying duels anymore. As much as he tries to surpress it, though, a primal instinct always tells Shinji to keep on winning and prevents him from holding back.

Bio
Shinji grew up in a poor, poor city as a street kid. He had to beg every day of his life and look for shelter every night. Sometimes he'd go days without food or nearly die of thirst, but he managed to survive somehow. Sometimes Shinji could find a stray Duel Monster card left by an unhealthily wealthy tourist and he'd fight with other street kids to get more. The text on these cards taught him how to read and write, and eventually he even learned the rules. When he turned 14, an underground dueling ring plucked Shinji off of the street. They gave him a Duel Disk and a rental deck, with the disk being linked to a shock device. He'd have to endure painful electrical surges coursing through his body each and every time he took damage, with higher amounts of damage leading to higher voltages. He had to continuously win to survive, sometimes needing to take on duelists mere hours after his last match. This honed his skills, but also sucked away any fun he could have had with the game.

In one particular match, Shinji thought he had finally come to meet his maker. When his turn came and his opponent activated a card to nearly finish him, he lay defeated on the floor. Shinji had closed his eyes and was waiting for the timer on his turn to finish so his life could finally end, but a mysterious flash of light brought him back to reality. He opened his eyes and saw a flaming demon suddenly on his field. Down on his Duel Disk was a new Synchro card, one called Zero Archfiend. It's effect fueled Shinji's rage, as it would simply not allow him to die. He was freed from the dueling ring soon after obtaining this new, mysterious card that never showed up in his Extra Deck. The police had finally cracked down on them, releasing imprisoned duelists.

He wandered the world after that, looking for a place to die in dueling. He was molded by it, and wanted to meet his end that way too. It wasn't meant to be however, as the man never got his wish granted. He'd always either win his way to the top in the underground or the punishments for losing would have him barely hanging on, sometimes by the sheer power of his Guardian. Recently he got an e-mail that invited him to duel in a large tournament, one that hosted a whole 1 million dollar prize pool.

Maybe this time, it'll all be over.

Theme Song

Name: Yoshi Hiro

Handle: Yo

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Personality: Yo isn't exactly the most upstanding kinda guy. He has a short temper and isn't above using violence if someone gets his mad enough. Generally, however, he's more indifferent than antagonistic to people he doesn't know. He has a bad habit of acting on impulse and not thinking things through, which sometimes gets in the way of his ability to duel. He's skilled beyond a shadow of a doubt, but he can crack under pressure if he isn't careful. Has a soft spot for kids.

Bio: help his brother not end up as big of a screw up as he was.

He set a strict schedule for him and made sure he was on top of all his schoolwork. When it was all done, he’d take Yusuke out of the house to hang out and get away from you-know-who. This is basically how he and his brother got introduced to Duel Monsters. Yusuke wanted some cards to duel with his school friends and Yo was more than happy to oblige. A little bit off the monthly check never hurt.

The brothers would duel together all the time. As per usual, Yusuke excelled with his cards while Yo would just make a deck out of any cards he could find. The battles were one sided for sure, but the two had fun. The kid seemed in love with his HERO cards and their designs. His favorite? Masked Paragon.

For his brother’s eleventh birthday, Yo gave Yusuke a ton of cash so he could make a trip to the card store on his own for the first time—kinda as a mini-rite of maturity. While some of it may or may not have been gotten by the involuntary courtesy of some of Yo’s classmates, it was worth it to see the smile on that kid’s face.

He never saw it again.

Yusuke was hit by a car on the way to the store. Everything changed for the worst since then. Yo’s school schedule went from flaky to non-existent and he would spend his time bumming around the city, doing anything and everything to make sure he stayed out of the house. If he barely tolerated him before, Yo downright loathed the man from that point on.

Eventually, he dropped out altogether at the age of 16. Most of his time was spent spacing out in his thoughts, dine and dashing, and just staring at Yusuke’s old deck. When he was ready for a trip down memory lane, he returned to the shop he and his brother had frequented in the past. He was surprised the owner had actually taken the time to memorize his face.

He asked why the brothers hadn’t been visiting the store anymore. It took a bit of arm twisting, but he made Yo cough up the answer. He was somewhat taken aback by the response, yet couldn’t help but feel terrible for the tragedy. Just before Yo was about to storm out of the shop, the owner offered him a part time job. Yo reluctantly accepted, it wasn’t as if he had anything better to do.

For a year, he spent time learning about a variety of cards as he worked with the owner. They would have duels for fun on particularly slow days and Yo would always insist on using his brother’s old deck and even managed to polish it up in some areas even his younger brother had neglected. It was through this that he gained his skill and love for dueling.

His heart soared when he learned that he would have the chance to compete in a tournament for 1 million dollars. The money was nice and all, but the tournament was a chance at redemption first and foremost. It was his fault that his brother died—that’s how he saw it, anyway—winning with his prized monsters was the very least he could do.

Guardian Monster:

Theme Song:

Name:
Megumi Takaki

Handle:
Takaki-san

Gender:
Female

Age:
18

Personality:
Megumi usually gives off the impression that she is emotionless, complete with a rarely-changing facial expression and quiet voice. However, that is not really the case; she is simply not very expressive. She is actually quite friendly, and will try to strike up a conversation with someone, though only opening up with a few words. She also finds comfort and happiness in food, and one can often find her munching away on some kind of sweet food. Duels are pretty much the only time she will raise her voice, either when she's trying to play aggressively or so that her opponent can hear her.

Bio:
Megumi was once a quiet and shy girl. She could barely put together a sentence when speaking to someone else. One day, however, Duel Monsters was introduced to her. Megumi was fascinated by the multitude of cards and their synergies with each other. Through, Duel Monsters, she slowly began to come out of her shell and talk to people more easily. While she retained her expressionless face, if was certainly better than nothing. As for Duel Monsters itself, Megumi proved to be quite skilled at it, being able to defeat many of her opponents, both for fun and in local tournaments.

As time passed, a certain email appeared in her inbox, and in it was an invitation to a Duel Monsters tournament, one far larger than any she had been to before. While the prize of a million dollars was alluring, she was more interested in what kind of people would be there, and more importantly, what kind of foods the tournament would be serving.
