• The New Hire(Male or Female): You're a student somewhere from high school to university age. You were minding your own business, when one day something unusual happened. It was through this extraordinary and bizarre event that you came into contact with a weird girl who has only one arm and one leg. Maybe you knew her somehow beforehand, or maybe this is the first time you met. Regardless, she certainly knew about you, somehow. One thing lead to another, and she managed to forcibly recruit you into her Exorcism Agency. Perhaps it took a lot of coercion(or even blackmail). Perhaps it didn't. Regardless, you're new to this whole supernatural world, but somehow you're uniquely suited for it. Maybe you're a hanyo, unaware of your lineage until now. Maybe you're the descendent of onmyouji. Maybe you have some kind of special sight, or trait in your blood. Regardless, you're here now.
• The Child(Preferred Female): Why would any kind of business hire a little kid? That's the kind of question anyone would ask when they look at you. You're a child, at least in appearance. But maybe that's not all you are, really. Maybe you're a human, but you have some sort of supernatural capability. Maybe you're a yokai, such a zasshiki-warashi or some other form of childish entity. Maybe you're a cursed doll concealing your inhuman nature beneath your clothing. Whatever the case, you're working for the Midnight Exorcism Agency. You're probably excited to meet the new hire.
• The Shady One(Preferred Male): A lot of people would ask why you're here, but not for the same reason as the kid. Maybe you're generally abrasive. Maybe you make jokes that tend to annoy people. Maybe you're just that shady that no-one trusts you. But for some reason, Suzuki keeps you around. You might have some ulterior motive, but if you're truly secretly antagonistic is impossible to say for anyone but yourself. You might be a human, you might be a yokai, but you're the type of person that grates on the others for some reason regardless.
• The Former Enemy(Male or Female): You were causing trouble. A lot of trouble. Somebody told a certain one-armed and one-legged girl, and that's how you've ended up here. You're definitely a yokai, or a ghost, no doubt about that. It's debatable how willing this is. Maybe you renounced your wicked ways. Maybe you're seething about being forced into servitude. Maybe you're somewhere inbetween. Regardless, you're serving Tomoko now.

• Brief Backstory:

I've been thoroughly bamboozled into joining and being the new hire.

• Name: Ibaraki Akari
• Age: 9
• Gender: Female
• Race: Oni
• Appearance: Probably best if you don't try and catch the ball.
• Personality: On the one hand, Akari is a fairly innocent and bubbly child. She's a big fan of magical girl shows, and although she doesn't play video games herself, she quite likes watching other people do it. She complains about having to study, even though she's got far less on her plate in that regard than a normal child would, and would much rather go bother the other employees about something.
  On the other, she's an oni, and a spoiled one with the most notable lineage that it's possible to have in the modern day. Her attitude towards unfamiliar humans is less "oh, that's a person" and more "oh, that's something to play with and potentially food". The idea of respecting people for simply existing, or having to defer to someone she hasn't been explicitly told to by her mother, simply doesn't occur to the girl.
  Some of her behaviours and habits are also pretty odd--none of her clothing is of western style, and she already has the oni habit of drinking sake like it's water.
• Abilities: Akari is a shockingly powerful oni, given her age. Despite her unimposing physique, there are very few people who are going to be winning if it's simply a contest of pitting strength against one another. She's about as difficult to seriously injure; blunt force is mostly useless without some serious strength behind it, and simply cutting her often requires magical assistance or massive force. Plus, like her mother, if it's not cut off entirely it will doubtless heal fine, and losing limbs would be more of a (physical) inconvenience than life-threatening.
  Although she hasn't any practice at using it, Akari has inherited Ibaraki's affinity for Heat--not just heat in the direct sense, but heat as a driving force for changes. It's this affinity that led Ibaraki-douji so easily to shapeshifting, and allows for just reattaching missing body parts later. She's also inherited the ability--or some would call it a mystic scar--common to all of the famous oni's relatives, no matter the connection: Lost Arm. So significant was the injury that, even now, her entire extended bloodline has the ability to summon a single phantom arm.
  You know, if two arms isn't enough for hitting things.
• Skills: She's... good at clipping vtubers? Really, you can't expect too much out of her when it's a matter of finesse.
• Equipment: She's got an iron club, when needed, in case something really needs to be broken. Spoiled as she is, her phone is also brand new and top of the line. If it weren't for needing other people to do the actual purchasing of alcohol, she'd probably have more spending money.
• Brief Backstory: As her name implies, Akari is related to Ibaraki-douji. The Ibaraki-douji. In fact, she's Ibaraki's sole daughter, which explains why her upbringing thus far has been extremely luxurious... but also rather sheltered and disconnected from the world. Of course, that's not good for her upbringing at all--she needs to actually interact with people and at least come to be able to see humans in a slightly less dismissive light. But that would take a lot of time and effort.
  The solution? Pay Tomoko to do it. Tomoko gets easy access to muscle, Akari gets to meet lots of new people and get used to the public, and Ibaraki's time is free for other things.
