Priscilla Rosengarten
17 | Female | 118 lbs | 5'2''
FireGoa | Non-Native | Human
Description
Just your everyday run-of-the-mill maiden overflowing with hope shifted to another world whose culture is foreign to her. Having lived most of her seventeen years with little struggle, she soon finds herself enmeshed with the inexplicable dangers that the unaccustomed land brings, most of which may be too much for her fragile state-of-mind to bear, ultimately putting her convictions to the test.
Appearance Description
As with most high-school girls around her age, Priscilla is somewhat particular with her image. A fairly petite young girl at 5'2'', Priscilla has pale-white skin, long, salmon hair in the form of twin-tails at waist-length, and a pair of peach-hued eyes. The attire she donned on her "trip" to this new world was her school uniform; a loose white blouse atop a pinkish red skirt, with a longer white skirt and white thigh-high socks. She wears a red ribbon on her collar, decorated with two white poms on each end and above her shoulders she is covered with a cloak of similar color to her upper skirt.
Personality
"Everything's going to be alright. Take my word for it!"
Generally an outgoing and warm-hearted girl complemented by her vigorous temperament, expect a loud "Heyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!" from Priscilla whenever she is in your vicinity. She is well-known for her copious amounts of friendliness, enthusiasm and the generosity to provide time to those who needs it, famed at school as the resident "Student Counselor". She gains gratification from this specialty of hers and is quite proud of it in fact; quoted above is her own catchphrase. She faces her trials and tribulations with a naive positivity, eliminating the menial endeavors that don't matter at present and facing them as they come.
While this personal philosophy is one of Priscilla's greatest strengths, it is also her greatest weakness. A double-edged sword, if you will. When faced with a grave, inexplicable threat way beyond her control, the mask of positivity that she so proudly wears drops and breaks with little-to-no resistance, revealing a facet akin to a helpless puppy. At best, she'll be a mental mess, uttering her catchphrase like a mantra, in a vain attempt to reassure herself. At worst, she becomes catatonic. In the end, Priscilla is an oblivious young damsel matched with a fragile mental fortitude.
Bio
Born to an affluent family in Germany, Priscilla Rosengarten has lived a normal, everyday life. At an early age, she became more and more independent, being able to cook as early as five years old. Her father being a famous chef, she had learned the ropes of culinary arts from him. At this point, it wasn't difficult to determine which path she will take in the future, though she answered her father's wishes to continue after him being "Let's wait and see, dad. I'll have destiny help me decide what I want to be in the future!" She inherited her late grandfather's philosophy about optimism and enthusiasm, and up to this day his motto was unforgettable: "Face life with undying fervor, and there is nothing you can't accomplish."
She hasn't delved too much in the concept of fantasy, only having consumed a fair bit from her mother's storytelling of fairy-tales. She isn't an avid fan of anime or manga like most youths, which most fantasies derive a depiction from in the modern ages. While she doesn't dislike them, she isn't particularly fond of them either. Despite this, she is rather passionate about destiny, and that everything happens for a reason.
Having reached adolescence, Priscilla became curious about the notion of romance. However, she does not actively seek for it under the belief that she will fall in love when the time comes. She has received a few confessions here and there at school, rejecting all of them with that reasoning.
One morning, Priscilla gets ready for school, none the wiser until she ends up in a bizarre void when she walked out the front door. A featureless enigma approaches her, welcoming her to their world. This out-of-the-blue event... To say it lead to a life-changing event would be an understatement. Before she knew it, the utterly confused and lost young girl was no longer in Germany.

Irene Thenille Arcadia
(pronounced as "E-reh-neh" instead of "Ai-reen")
"Ahahaha, what can I say? Helping out those in need gives you that giddy sense of attainment~"
18 | Female | 52 kg | 5'4''
YinShamak | Native | Human
Description
A freelance mage and a runaway from an eminent family who wants to prove herself that she can help and save people even without Od Laguna's blessing.
Appearance Description
As befitting of one who used to carry a well-known family name, Irene bears the aspect of nobility and elegance. She is defined by several features: ruby-hued orbs, silky dark-silver hair tied into two small drills by black ribbons, pale white complexion, black collar around her neck, and a frill-heavy white and dark-blue dress with thigh-high stockings underneath. Whenever she goes out, she always brings her signature parasol, adorned with frills of the same design as her dress and flower patterns on the dark-blue fabric.
Personality
Irene's poise of elegance has not lost its luster even after running away from home. Despite this, she blends in well with the commoners due to her sociability. She keeps a calm and composed disposition with a mix of gentleness and friendliness in all but the most inopportune of times. Due to her upbringing, she empathizes with the struggles of the weak. Her aunt has taught her much about modesty and treating everyone as equals, which extends to other races who desire equality much like her. Unlike most people, she isn't prejudiced against Demi-humans.
Thanks to her empathy, she can read an individual's mood through their eyes. She is very willing to listen to other people's problems, helping them to the best of her ability. Her hobbies include people-watching, reading, drinking tea, and exploring at night. She somewhat despises the sun, as evident by her bringing her parasol when she goes out during daylight. Irene is quite terrible at cooking and not for the lack of trying, and so she ultimately leaves the deed to her guardian.
Irene is almost never seen without her guardian, whom she shares an exceptionally close bond with.
Class
Her affinity in Yin magic complemented by years of mandatory rehearsal with it makes Irene a highly proficient disruptor and disabler. Her primary form of offense is restricting her targets via dark, ethereal chains that materialize and bind them, draining their life force gradually until unconsciousness. On top of that, she can cast other debilitating spells such as numbness, paralysis and weakening the target's gate flow among others. This in tandem with her guardian's coordination, speed and mastery in melee makes them a deadly duo.
Bio
One of the youngest members of the Arcadia family. The illustrious Arcadia family stands as one of the most influential noble families, renowned for their years of service under Lugnica's banner and were pivotal in the war against the Demi-humans. The bulk of their significance stems from the fact that the entirety of the family tree have various Divine Protections at birth, proclaiming themselves as "Od Laguna's Blessed Children". Irene, on the other hand, did not receive such a boon for an unknown reason; the very first of their bloodline.
Due to this, she bore less responsibilities than most of her relatives and ruthlessly treated with contempt by the head of the family, her father, his hubris exceeding the expectations set upon them. For much of her childhood, she had suffered self-inflicted mental torment under the notion that she was staining their family name. She worked hard on unlocking the limits of her potential with her affinity in Yin magic; her only saving grace that separates her from being a bonafide muggle.
She was temporarily taken in by a noble family under the Arcadias, courtesy of her loving aunt whom Irene had shared her tribulations with, along with being her personal instructor as a fellow practitioner of Yin magic. Here, she was given the loving treatment and attention that she sought after. She was even provided with her own personal guardian who became close with and unfailingly loyal to her. With their support, she was able to gain confidence in herself and guided her on the belief that she doesn't need blessings to prove her worth.
With this newfound confidence, she had declared her intention of running away from home to seek out her own path; to prove to her father that Od Laguna watches over everyone, not just those blessed with boons. She can help those in need without anyone's will but her own. By her aunt's orders to follow and protect her at all costs, Irene's guardian followed suit. From then on, she became a freelance mage and carved her own path towards greatness.

“I'm tired... But I can't give up for their sake.”
Overview
Name
Tatsujin Juno
Age
15
January 22, 2003
January 22, 2003
Gender
Male
Orientation
Heterosexual
Social Class
Lower Middle-class
Defining Hobby
Badminton - A sport that he was goaded into playing by and with his friends during middle school. Due to his present circumstances, Juno had ceased further activities, though that isn't to say that he hasn't been longing to play once more.
Occupation
Convenience store clerk (during evenings from 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM and daytime half-day on Sundays)
Characterization
Physical Description
Juno's looks aren't anything to write home about; his plump, baby-faced feature has certainly given him some attention, even if juxtaposed by his irritable nature. A young man of average height (5'5), hazel-colored hair and eyes, and maintains a relatively balanced physique despite his daily hardships. His preference for clothing is as monotonous as he looks; favoring a plain, white shirt underneath a grey jacket whenever outdoors.
Personality Traits
[+] Positives [+]
* Self-reliant - Being the eldest and shouldering as much burden as his father, Juno has acclimated to dealing with familial responsibility for the past two years.
* Dutiful - The significance of recreation had been blurred from his dictionary as time went on. In between juggling studies, his part-time job and taking care of his siblings (and sometimes even his father whenever he's inebriated), Juno at present is most certainly busy.
* Reliable - A man with initiative. When he's given a task, he will do his best to get the task done. Juno isn't perfect mind you, but he performs consistently well.
* Caring - Natch. This is most explicit in Juno's attachment to his siblings. He's a dick, though that's granted at this point. Look past that, and you'll see a well-intentioned and misunderstood youth.
[-] Negatives [-]
* Irascible - What was painted over his once ebullient, friendly demeanor is a repelling, petulant aura that keeps most away. But then again, who could blame him?
* Pessimistic - The falling out of his family after their mother's passing followed by her younger sister's grave illness has rubbed him with this mentality. In spite of his dedication and perseverance, Juno has yet his own path to walk on.
* Sarcastic - In view of his despondency taking root, Juno has become impassive, exchanging witty banter with his confidants as a form of escapism. As for opposition, he resorts to throw passive-aggressive barbs. It really depends on both his mood and who he's talking to.
* Impulsive - His mind tends to be overwhelmed with responsibility; both at school and at home. This, in tandem with capacity for initiative and human error nets him more trouble than he needs.
* Boorish - From a perceptibly kind, extroverted young lad with beaming optimism to an ill-mannered juvenile who pushes people away from himself, clouding the notion that he does need someone to confide with.

Home Life
Juno is the eldest among the Tatsujin siblings, consisting of five; himself, two younger brothers (Aki, aged 2 and Goro, aged 5) and sisters (Miya, aged 4 and Haru, aged 8). Their mother had passed away two years ago due to an illness, and his once cheery livelihood had spiraled down from there. Their father, a cop, had been despondent ever since she died, unable to take his job seriously and became a homebody drunkard, idling his days away. What's worse, Haru had fallen ill, brought by the hereditary disorder their mother had.
Ever since, Juno had been the de facto man of the household at a young age, in charge of expenses (living, medical and schooling) since their savings have dwindled due to their (Goro, Miya and his) educational costs, barely scraping by. Unable to take care of his siblings while at school in the morning and work in the evening, he's hired a baby-sitter to take care of both his siblings and his shiftless father. Sometimes he waits for his schooled siblings at the nearby elementary school and walking them home before heading off to work.
Any selfish time for recreation Juno had in his fingertips have disappeared as he adjusted to this struggling lifestyle, and by the time first year started, he's lost a lot of his childhood friends. Needless to say, Juno's seen better days.

Personal Motivation
At the moment, he's working himself for the sake of his family, lacking a selfish motive. As far as he's concerned, he needs to pass through the first year, into another year, and into another. All of this is to get into actual work with a high-paying salary to alleviate his family's burden and cover the rest of his ailing sister's medical expenses and get the rest to graduate like he will.
On a personal level, he does want to break his father out of his shell. Though given his lack of free time, finding the opportunity to is quite difficult.

Miscellaneous
Relationships
* Mizutani Hiroyuki - Classmates during middle school, back when Juno was still a friendly extrovert at heart. He had a habit of sliding his nose into people's personal spaces, the socially inept Hiroyuki included. Juno was quite persistent in inviting him to play, much to the latter's chagrin.
* Himawari Shiori - Juno's "partner-in-crime" at the local convenience store as clerks. Both possessing passively choleric traits, they are prone to bickering with each other on a regular basis for the most diminutive grounds, only to be calmed down by their fellow female clerk who often plays the role of their mediator.

“Save this world? Me? Heh.. Heheh... Hahahaha! ..... Oh fuck, you were serious.”
Overview
Name
Yanagisawa Tappei / Tap / Sloth-kun (nickname)
Age
21
Gender
Male
Occupation
A fresh graduate set to follow in his father's footsteps as an Electrical Engineer. However, he personally has no love for the profession; in fact, his lack of ambition and motivation are two of his biggest roadblocks in progressing forward as a person.
Characterization & Conceptualization
What Do They Look Like?
A youthful countenance for his age. Scruffy, sanguine hair. Pale, blue eyes covered by a pair of trivex lenses. Tappei maintains a lanky yet featureless physique due to avoidance of physical labor. Delicate against low temperatures, he dons a long, frizzy, dark scarf around his neck most of the time.
What Are They Like?
Denoted as the resident class clown back on his high-school and university days, Tap is a silly and upbeat individual with a penchant for jokes, though he knows the boundaries between innocuous wisecracks and harmful harassment. Serious only when need be, his carefree stance towards life is how people would often describe him. This mentality pits him at odds with his workaholic father, who feels like he isn't taking life seriously. A bit immature and irresponsible due to being a tad too nonchalant, Tappei is still dependent to his mother who pampers him. He is also quite the spendthrift, going out and spending money on food even when their inventory at home is adequate still.
To cut it short, an undeveloped, free spirit unsuitable for the reality of being independent as a virtue to survive the struggle called life. He acknowledges his lack of motivation and direction as his great weaknesses, yet is still unable to overcome them due to his current state of indolence and despondency. Whatever he believes in, one thing is for certain; his efforts and convictions will be put to the test once he is burdened with the herculean task of saving the world.

Whatever he believes in, one thing is for certain; his efforts and convictions will be put to the test once he is burdened with the herculean task of saving the world.
What's Their Story?
Despite his negatives, Tappei isn't a dumbass; being academically above-average at best and barely passing his subjects at worst. In fact, he is quite skilled when it comes to memorization. When he actually tries, he gets the job done. Due to this, he was able to get through most of his school life with a fair bit of struggle.
Why Did The Wish Choose Them?
He lacks the incentive to take action for himself. He is perhaps the most passive character you'll find, and it would take nothing short of the lingering notion of death to get him moving.
What "Class" Will They Embody? Why?
Spellcaster - His small repertoire of spells only contain buffs which can only be applied to his allies. Cannot self-buff. At present, he has zero offensive spells. This reflects his passive nature and the willingness to let others do the heavy work while he uses minimal effort.
What Belongings Will They Take With Them?
His fuzzy black scarf.
Talents & Abilities

"Living is a pain in the ass sometimes. But just this once... it doesn't feel so bad."
[Character Reference: Keiji Akashi - Haikyuu!]
Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura
Name
Harunobu Katsunai (nicknamed Haru)
Age
18
Appearance
Haru's most defining features include his unkempt, black hair which complements his perpetually dull facial expression. He has a very pallid physique on account of his genetic disorder, and either bedridden or bound on a wheelchair.
Personality
Considering what he's been going through the past few years, sanguinity would be the last thing one would consider in regards to his temperament. Haru is a mix of disgruntlement and despondency bundled with a side of constant mood swings. He has slowly accepted the hopelessness of his situation, but of course that isn't to say that he wasn't afraid of the impending notion of death, nor elated at the fact that he was one of the scant ill-omened individuals to bear this curse.
Deep down, Haru appreciates his older brother, but it is hidden underneath his deep-seated selfishness and jealousy of the fact that unlike him, a broken mess, his brother has been living his life normally. He also feels like a burden to him, owing to being solely responsible for shouldering the entirety of his medical expenses. He doesn't know whether or not he hates his departed mother for being an indirect and unintentional cause to his unfortunate malady.
The meaning of life had long flown away from his mind. With so much anxiety and confusion racking his brain, he mostly spends his days being an empty husk whenever he's awake.

Background
Dead parents. Working older brother. Duchenne type muscular dystrophy inherited by his mother, a carrier with an abnormal gene. Symptoms began at age 14, at the height of his puberty. Hospitalized ever since. Taking medications to prolong his life, but as the months pass by he becomes progressively weaker, and can only take as short as a few minutes standing up before falling over. Wheel-chaired. Woohoo.

"To witness the reconnection of two distant souls; longing for each other's presence, by pen and paper. It is we who shall bear responsibility to such a plain, yet fulfilling undertaking! Well? Doesn't it just get your heart excited?!"
Name
Calum "Cal" Pierrepont
Age
19
Gender
Male
Physical Description
Cal is a young, effeminate adult of below average height (5'6), and lithe frame. His short, unkempt black hair is accompanied by a medium-brown hat. Has a fair complexion and rather squinty baby greens. While used on occasion and can see without them, Cal has a notable pair of black glasses.
What makes Cal stand out amongst his peers is that his postman attire is covered with a brown poncho draped over his shoulders. He does temporarily part with it along with his hat when he travels, as to not be blown away by the wind. They evidently hold sentimental value to him; precious gifts from his distant father a year ago. He has continued to wear them with pride since then.

He does temporarily part with it along with his hat when he travels, as to not be blown away by the wind. They evidently hold sentimental value to him; precious gifts from his distant father a year ago. He has continued to wear them with pride since then.
Personality
A gleaming youth who's defined by his near-perpetual state of cheerful, almost melodramatic vibrancy, Cal takes life, cherishes it, and does his damnedest to make sure that the people around him do the same. Cordial to a fault, he profoundly values the notion of camaraderie and family. His moment of theatrics do tend to irk some, in which he'll quickly apologize and tone down his antics. To his credit, Cal can be serious and reliable when the situation calls for it. His answer to the call of the EMS is purely driven by altruistic motives; his family once being recipients of a life-changing letter delivered by that very same company. Nothing's a loftier purpose for him than making friends and making other people happy.
Much of Cal's present nature had only manifested quite recently after recovering from a great ordeal that his family had suffered from and taking a turn for the better. His mother's family (uncle and grandfather) were major catalysts to his character's development; their optimism, quirks, and valuable lifelong lessons gradually rooted on him as they worked to inspirit his mother during her days of depression.
Being more attached to home and his mother most of his childhood, Cal had little interaction with children his age. Even now, it's easy to spot lingering moments of genuine awkwardness from his otherwise forced, exuberant persona. He is also easily driven by his emotions; most likely ending up as the first to cry at the sight of a heartfelt scene. Romance is a genre he's explored in his bookish ventures, but never personally delved with and as such, is very modest and shy when confronted with the topic.

Biography
Born and raised in the county of Cornwall, UK, Calum Pierrepont has had a decent upbringing, for the most part. He had very loving parents, was properly educated and had an unperturbed, if sheltered childhood. Most was well, except for one thing, which started as a small dent in their family's relationship and, in due course, expanded as a wide rift. Cal's workaholic father (Abraham "Abe" Pierrepont) wasn't around much, on account of his work and having to constantly switch to faraway workplaces. His mother (Mila Pierrepont) had to quit her own work in order to take care of him. Still, Cal had always admired how hardworking his father was, longed for the days when he would return home, and his faith never wavered. And supposedly, so did his mother.
Eventually, the company Abe worked for promoted him and became one of its leaders. In turn, he grew even more invested and passionate in his line of work, which stemmed from his own father's assiduous work ethic. The days that he would come home became even less. And this meant that he grew more distant from the his son and wife. This culminated in an unfortunate fallout, and then divorce. Obligated to stay with his mother, there was no longer a reason to stay in Cornwell and the two of them migrated to the small island of Erusea, where Mila's family resided.
A few months have passed since they moved at the island, and Mila was looking even more downcast after their divorce. Realization struck: measures could have been made to prevent their separation in the first place, which they were blind to. His mother's progressively wavering faith and accumulating impatience, his father's extremely skewed priorities, and his own inability to take action. Cal spent his days being by his downhearted mother's side; his resolve and nature slowly but surely nurturing in no small part due to his uncle and grandfather's efforts.
A letter and package arrived at the family's doorstep on Cal's 18th birthday, courtesy of the Erusean Mail Service, and it came from none other than Abe; the first time he's ever done so to communicate with them. The letter in summary pertained to how deeply regretful he was, how he misses the two of them, and how he wants to start over. It was clear that his parents still truly loved each other, despite their remoteness. The package came with a clean, brown hat and poncho, which he immediately recognized; the plain-looking but rather expensive leather garments that he really fancied but unable to afford.
In time, the family's relationship mended itself, letter after letter that had been sent back and forth between the family. After everything that had transpired, Cal had realized the grave importance a letter holds, and how keeping in touch with loved ones was paramount. As he waited for the day that his mother and father would reconcile and re-marry, Cal has decided to become a postman for the Erusean Mail Service as a start; to make sure that each letter, with everything that it entails, was securely passed on to their recipients. He was resolved to explore his boundaries, live his life to the fullest by making bonds, and making other people happy.
Eventually, the company Abe worked for promoted him and became one of its leaders. In turn, he grew even more invested and passionate in his line of work, which stemmed from his own father's assiduous work ethic. The days that he would come home became even less. And this meant that he grew more distant from the his son and wife. This culminated in an unfortunate fallout, and then divorce. Obligated to stay with his mother, there was no longer a reason to stay in Cornwell and the two of them migrated to the small island of Erusea, where Mila's family resided.
A few months have passed since they moved at the island, and Mila was looking even more downcast after their divorce. Realization struck: measures could have been made to prevent their separation in the first place, which they were blind to. His mother's progressively wavering faith and accumulating impatience, his father's extremely skewed priorities, and his own inability to take action. Cal spent his days being by his downhearted mother's side; his resolve and nature slowly but surely nurturing in no small part due to his uncle and grandfather's efforts.
A letter and package arrived at the family's doorstep on Cal's 18th birthday, courtesy of the Erusean Mail Service, and it came from none other than Abe; the first time he's ever done so to communicate with them. The letter in summary pertained to how deeply regretful he was, how he misses the two of them, and how he wants to start over. It was clear that his parents still truly loved each other, despite their remoteness. The package came with a clean, brown hat and poncho, which he immediately recognized; the plain-looking but rather expensive leather garments that he really fancied but unable to afford.

"Stop reading my sheet when it's still not done. That's rude."
Name
Violette Hume McDowell
Gender
Female
Age
17
7th of March
Sexuality
Bi-curious
Nationality
English
Appearance
A fair, young maiden of average stature with short, raven hair and eyes, this unkempt beauty is often groomed with effort by her servant to appear as presentable as she does when she goes out. She dons a pair of round glasses to compensate for her poor eyesight. For casual clothing, she has a strong inclination towards denim shorts and off-shoulder tops, though she's not too picky overall, owning a variety of tops and skirts that she dons whenever she feels like it.
Her Metaverse attire consists of a fancy black dress, a long, black scarf draped around her back, belt that supports both holster and scabbard for her weaponry and thigh high boots to complement the Stygian finery she sports.
Height
5'6''
Personality
Listless and and prone to looking up the sky often, Violette faces the world with a rather pallid, unconcerned outlook. Growing accustomed to the vastness of the world outside their manor that she longed so much, her anxiety ballooned in synchrony. Now that she's here, she doesn't know what to do first, and this growing mentality quickly enveloped her negatively to point where she fell into a deep depression, rendering herself shackled once more. And the worst part is, she knows this full well, and she feels like she's wasting her brother's efforts in fulfilling her wish, but by the same token, lacking the motivation to change.
Her gradual decay had also impacted her once upbeat, adventurous and outgoing persona. Most of the proper decorum she were taught with since childhood have dwindled to the point where she looks and sounds less like a refined noble and more a spoiled, rich brat.
Persona
In a general context, The Devil Tarot card can signify depression or addiction. It can also be a sign of feeling trapped or restricted. With this Major Arcana card in your Tarot spread you may feel as though outside influences or forces beyond your control are restricting you, leaving you feeling powerless and victimised. However, this is the illusion The Devil creates. You are in control of your own destiny and are not bound by anything other than your own attitudes and behaviour. Don’t give up and don’t give away your power. You don’t have to tolerate negativity, criticism, manipulation or abuse from anyone. There are always options and there is always something positive you can do to improve your situation no matter how hopeless things may seem on the surface. Likewise be mindful of how you are treating others and make sure you are not trying to manipulate or control people in your life either.
The story of revolution and resistance in 18th-century France is a complicated one, and no two historians tell the story the same way. However, it is clear that for the revolutionaries, Marie Antoinette’s significance was mainly, powerfully symbolic. She and the people around her seemed to represent everything that was wrong with the monarchy and the Second Estate: They appeared to be tone-deaf, out of touch, disloyal (along with her allegedly treasonous behavior, writers and pamphleteers frequently accused the queen of adultery) and self-interested. What Marie Antoinette was actually like was beside the point; the image of the queen was far more influential than the woman herself.

Yo. Lovely day or night to you all!
Throwing my interest out here, if slots are still available of course. I'm a bit rusty, but I'll put my 100% into this despite the hectic work schedule. (I'm resigning from it soonish to find a more suitable job that fits my capabilities, so I'll most definitely have lots of free time in the coming months! Maybe. xD)
Thine idea is a solitary, quiet but smart delinquent archetype with a straightforward yet dangerous combat-oriented ability; scouted and eventually appointed as the Disciplinary Committee Vice President to enforce Yukimura Atsuko's radical cause. Of course, I can make adjustments according to your decision, as this is currently just a draft!

Bios:
- Name: Kintarou "Kin-kun" Terumi
- Age: 16
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: "... What?"
- Personality: On the surface, Kintarou
- desires a life of peace and quiet
- likes to read books
- exhibits a sense of justice
- refrains from fighting until pushed
- has a dry sense of humor due to his blunt, straightforward personality. and a deadpan snarker to boot. - Backstory:"Your existence is one made for battle. This, I assure you, is an undeniable truth. What I've put you through is nothing compared to what you will be facing in your future. And now, you're on your own. But by the same token, I have nothing left to worry about. You're all grown up now. You persevered and you even managed to beat me. That, I am proud of. Kintarou, you're powerful. Powerful enough to defy your fate and forge your own path; your own happiness. Words alone can't describe how regretful I am for being the worst father you could've ever had. But know, and understand that everything I did, I did out of my love for you. And last but not least, I want to thank you. You have made the remnants of my fleeting life fulfilling. Worry about me no longer. All you can do now is fight for your future. Kintarou Terumi, my beloved son, farewell."
- Love, Dad.
Those were the last words, in letter form, imparted to him by his late adoptive father; the sole figure responsible for his incessant, unforgiving adolescence. It stuck to him like adhesive, one that will forever be ingrained in his heart. With uncontrollable tears from his eyes, the young juvenile named Kintarou Terumi, lost and confused, emitted a mournful squall.
From living at an orphanage to being adopted by a martial arts master who saw "great potential" in him and forced him to cough up blood, Kintarou was exposed to a childhood saturated with great hardship. His unbearable pain molded into enmity against his patriarch, a cruel but necessary supplement for him to keep going as his combat ability grew steadily overtime. Eventually, Kintarou managed to defeat him in a destined sparring match after years of constantly enduring his harsh training and honing his strength and skill.
Then, enrolled at one of the most prestigious battle schools in the island country, Kintarou was made to realize the necessity of everything he had painfully experienced these past few years. With a parting gift, his father, revealed to have a terminal illness that he kept hidden from him and has just recently gave in to, had prepared him for this very moment. With a parting letter showcasing his true feelings towards his adoptive son, the master of the now dissolved Terumi Dojo had entrusted everything to him.
Suffering great losses in exchange for his newfound freedom, the hardened youth carried on, living his high-school life in constant solitude in an attempt to keep a low profile. He had resolved to never fight again and live his days in peace and quiet, similar to his prior life at the orphanage, which he greatly missed. He favored the library, being an avid bookworm hungry for story-driven fantasies and such. He even made a friend under those circumstances. But alas, as his father's words held true, it was a tall order, being part of a school tailored for that very purpose.
Sometime during the thick of his first year in Shiroyama High, he was involved in an incident where he was targeted by a group of big shot students from the Martial Arts Club. Bearing the Terumi name was a pretty big deal, as the prestigious Terumi Dojo was one of the school's major benefactors, until its gradual decline and eventual dissolution. The group desired the AED he sported since the beginning of his hellish training, arguably the source of his great distress; the Terumi Dojo's heirloom, the Sigma Sash. He was contemplating surrendering the device to them, up until he's realized that to accomplish this, they resorted to threatening his bookworm friend. Enraged, Kintarou subconsciously released his bindings and caused a massive ruckus on the school grounds, destroying the group so thoroughly that all of them were placed in near-critical condition.
He was never "just a blip" on the Student Council's radar considering his background, but since that day, nearly the entire student body became wary of him. Rumors spread thereafter, and for quite some time, no one dared to challenge this monster to a fight, lest they'd end up like the ones that did. Then, someone rose up and became the sole exception: the recently-elected Student Council President of Shiroyama High, Yukimura Atsuko, herself. - Inherent Engine Skill: ?
- Active Engine Device: Befitting his rigorous background in Martial Arts, his AED is known as the Sigma Belt. Its appearance is that of a lavish, custom-tailored, martial arts sash, accompanied by an emblem of a silver dragon head, a pair of ruby orbs embedded on its eye sockets, serving as a buckle. The ideal Active Engine Device for students skilled in martial arts, it served as the Terumi Dojo's family heirloom, entrusted to those deserving enough to persevere and champion over its debilitating drawback.
- Skills: (MUNDANE, NOT MARTIAL) Martial Arts - Trained at a very young age by his adoptive father, Kintarou is well-versed on a wide array of martial arts types (although admittedly, he is better at some more than others), and is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished unarmed combatants in Shiroyama High. His movements range from steady and composed when anticipating his opponent's moves, switching to quick and focused once he moves into the offensive, delivering sharp, decisive blows with his palm strikes, or disorienting opponents with a swift combination of punches and kicks. His signature is often knocking out opponents with a well-timed palm strike on the jaw, or a massive swing kick to the side of one's face.
- Rank: 28th (His rank used to be way lower due to his disinclination from fighting as a sport, at least until a certain StuCo President lit a fire under him.)
- Club: While most students would expect him to be part of the academy's Martial Arts club, he isn't. Not that he needs to, anyway. Instead, Kintarou was appointed as Shiroyama High's Disciplinary Committee Vice President. His main responsibilities include apprehending delinquent students or those with great folly to break school policies and regulations; duties that he admittedly isn't fond of, but since then has reveled in the thrill of fighting students defiant to the Student Council President's rule.
