_{Physical Description:}

Roku is very much on the high end of "average height and weight", standing at a solid 170cm (5' 7"), and weighing in at 56kg (123lbs). His slight height advantage tends to lead people to believe that he's older than he really is. His skin is deathly pale, indicating the lack of Vitamin D in his system, but what makes him stand out is his face. Namely, his hair is longer than a boy would normally allow it to grow, and he regularly uses mascara to extend his eyelashes. Not to mention the lipstick. Roku's school uniform is typically loaded with as many black accents as he can get away with, since apparently he doesn't seem to think that one can have enough. His hair is also dyed black, but there are the occasional highlights of its original color in red, most notably at the roots. Finally, Roku has more than a few piercings; one in each ear for studded earrings, which were completely acceptable, and also a tongue piercing around the center of his tongue and a navel piercing near his belly button, neither of which have been picked up on.

Full Body Image

_Personality:

Unsurprisingly, Roku fits squarely into the goth stereotype. He doesn't speak a hell of a lot, but every time he does, the mood around him has an occasional tendency to dampen just a little bit more. Roku typically spends most of his time at school away from the other students, silently brooding away to himself while everyone else goes about their sorry excuses for lives. While he doesn't seem to mind interacting with whomever would go out of their way to speak to him, he refuses to involve himself in other people's messes. Worrying about his own future is stressful enough on him as it is, without all that extra bullshit that may or may not go on around his vicinity.

While his emotions maybe hard to read on the surface, deep down Roku is internally depressed, constantly wallowing in his own despair. He's a self-loathing cynic with a negative outlook on life as a whole, and his pessimism knows no bounds. As far as he's concerned, all of his classmates are little more than parasites that continue to eat away at his time and his life. Thankfully, Roku doesn't have such a deranged mentality that he'd fantasize about murdering everyone, and in practice, he's actually quite hard to provoke. Due to his cynical nature, however, he can hold a grudge on someone for even the smallest of things, and he'll almost never let it go.

_{Home Life:}

Roku lives with 19-year-old brother, Gushiken Yutaka, who has been his legal guardian ever since their parent's deaths. Their mother was murdered by a jealous ex-lover of their father's, and their father was killed in a riot that he was trying to help qualm. Yutaka is one of only a few precious people that Roku isn't a complete asshole towards. Even then, however, there's an evident love/hate relationship that Roku has with Yukata. Roku gets by thanks entirely to the inheritance that Mrs. Gushiken had left him and Yukata in her will which, even when split between the two of them, is more than enough to support his wants and needs.

_Motivation:

All Roku really wants in life is to get through the days without any hassle. Of course, with high school being the most dramatic stage of one's life in Japan, and with Roku only just starting it, chances are that he may undergo a lot of stress. However, his talents with the paintbrush are likely to get him far, and that may be his ticket into procuring a decent career for himself.

_Likes:

• Relative peace and quiet
• The color black
• The fine arts
• Horror movies
• His older brother Yukata

_Dislikes:

• Being mistaken for a girl
• All things sappy
• Bright colors
• His older brother Yukata

_{Tidbits of Trivia:}

• Roku is prone to suffering from epileptic seizures whenever multiple flashes of light occur in front of his eyes. The main reason why he despises bright colors in general is because from his experience, the lights that flash in all these different bright colors are much more likely to trigger these seizures than just the white lights alone.
• While he does like to watch horror movies, his ability to immerse himself into their stories is more often than not ruined by the squirming of whoever else maybe watching one alongside him. Hence why he typically watches them alone... or at least with people he knows can actually stomach them. The way that Roku smirks whenever a certain character meets their demise is uncanny, and perhaps a little cruel.
• Due to his heliophobia, Roku will typically stay indoors on a sunny day, and as far away from the windows as he possibly can so that the sun doesn't shine directly on him. When he has to go outside, he'll put up a black parasol that he always carries around with him. Funnily enough, said parasol has a pointy metal bit at the end, which he can use to fend off bullies.

EDIT: Girl incoming.

Egusa Midori

"There's two types of 'fat girl'; the type of 'fat girl' that stays ugly no matter what, and the type of 'fat girl' that can still be sexy if she works her tits off at it without trying to change who she is. I like to say that I'm the latter."

Personal Information

_{Physical Description:}

While she's slightly shorter than the average girl, Midori's height is by no means abnormal, standing at a solid 155cm (5' 1"). As she weighs a grand total of 70kg (154lbs), however, Midori is much heavier than she really should be; enough so that she's considered borderline obese. Her arms are thin and her legs are as thick as tree trunks, especially at the thighs. Coupled with broad shoulders, very wide hips, huge breasts and a sizable girth, Midori's body naturally takes up a lot of space, especially in cramped places such as the inside of the typical train. She makes the most of her figure, surprisingly enough, sporting a BWH of 45-32-44 if measured in inches and 114-81-112 if measured in centimeters. Her fat folds are well hidden underneath her school uniform, as she takes pride in as presentably attractive as possible. Her face is fairly chubby, with highly grab-able cheeks, but that doesn't actually detract from her physical appeal.

Full Body Image

_Personality:

Brimming with pride and confidence, Midori strives to be the very best that she can be. She's a nice person overall, and will go out of her way to ensure her friends are OK. Even if she seems to hesitate in giving something up, she'll always consider the needs of the person that she'd hypothetically be giving that something to, proving that her heart is just as big as... well, the rest of her. Midori stands up for herself when she needs to, and she'll also stand up for her friends or anyone else that maybe in need at any point in time.

Midori's biggest negative quality, however, is her stubbornness. She might not care about her weight, but she does care about people judging her for it, or mocking her because of it. Even the slightest and most well-intentioned joke about Midori's weight is not one that she can take. She keeps hearing about how losing all that excess weight will be so much healthier for her and that she'll live a significantly longer life, but she'll refuse to take those so called "necessary steps" every time, simply because that's not how she wants to live her life. Midori sometimes wishes that people will give up on trying to get her to change her mind or go out of her comfort zone. If she truly felt that kind of yearning desire, she'd have done it already. Midori maybe open to talk about something she's less than certain about, but once she's made up her mind, she won't take no for an answer; she'll see her decision through to the very end.

_{Home Life:}

Midori lives in a quaint home with her mother, Egusa Murasaki, the younger of her two older brothers, Egusa Atsumori, and her youngest sister, Egusa Emiko. During the school holidays, Midori sometimes has the chance to visit her father, Egusa Kazuhiko, who had divorced from Murasaki after an intense argument over the treatment of Midori. Midori herself has a great time with Kazuhiko. She also enjoys playing with Emiko, and doesn't even seem to mind Atsumori's company... most of the time, anyway. However, she cannot stand Murasaki's strictness, as it rubs her the wrong way completely. While the house that everyone lives in is rather large, Murasaki has to try and work three jobs at once just to put enough food on the table for everyone, and Midori's eating habits put some serious strain on that.

_Motivation:

By the end of the school year, Midori wants to procure her own boyfriend. She'd like her ideal boyfriend to be able to princess carry her around, but since that may not be physically possible given her sheer weight, she figured she should probably set her sights realistically. While she loves the look of a muscular body, what she really values most in a romantic partner is someone who can tell her that, in all honesty, they find her attractive over anyone else, despite the aesthetic flaws that being overweight typically brings to her looks.

_Likes:

• Eating tasty food
• Being told that she's beautiful
• Chasing boys
• Lazing around
• Listening to music

_Dislikes:

• Gym class
• Exercise
• Counting calories
• Standing or sitting on anything that looks to be unable to support her weight
• Being called names that revolve around her weight
• Being squashed into a tight space

Lara Woodhull (En)/Sumire Morohoshi (Jp)

_{Tidbits of Trivia:}

• Much of the draw Midori would have towards her potential romance partner is in their muscular structure, and the only real reason she's straight so far is due to the fact that muscular boys are generally more common than muscular girls. She could be swayed into being attracted to a beautiful, strong-looking young lady instead. Of course, that is assuming that such a lady can be found, and either is currently within an acceptable age range for Midori or will stay available for her when she grows up.
• Fried foods are Midori's favorite, and she doesn't seem to mind the grease in the foods that have them... much unlike most high school girls. Also unlike most high school girls, Midori has a veracious appetite, and can easily put away enough food for an entire family if one allows her to. Her eyes are bigger than her wallet, however, as she tends to spend several thousand yen on cafe foods, takeaways and restaurants alone, and often fails to keep track on how much each individual item costs until she sees the bill.
• Going out to the beach in a bikini with that kind of bod is... extremely brave of Midori at best. Many others would certainly consider it to be the social equivalent of suicide, considering that no-one wants to look at exposed fat folds if they can help it. But Midori will find a bikini that fits her and go out there anyway, not because she deludes herself into thinking she's attractive, but simply because she wants to go out into the beach, or even a swimming pool for that matter, with her head held high.

_{Relationships:}

Ishihara Miyuki: Midori often treats Miyuki to lunch and/or buys her snacks, since she understands what it's like to be forced to go without something one might like to have. It also helps Midori herself, since she is otherwise much too reckless with her spending on food for herself, whereas the guilt that she'd have from stuffing her face while Miyuki simply watches would keep such an indulgence in check.
Tachibana Kotone: Kotone works alongside her mother, running a ryokan that Midori visits twice a week, and sometimes pays for a room in when Murasaki gets so heavily on her case that she'd desperately need an escape for the night. However, while Midori has seen Kotone around at said ryokan, the two of them have yet to make a direct interaction, most likely due to the latter's shyness.

_{Physical Description}

He is one hundred and sixty eight centimeters tall, though he hasn't quite adjusted to his height yet. His hair is a constant mess on his head, though he claims it's 'naturally messy'. He is on the lankier side of things, though some might consider him tall, dark and handsome. He is constantly grinning, his dark eyes always mischievous and looking for fun.

♣ Overly Friendly
♣ No Sense of Personal Space
♣ Excitable
♣ Charming

- When he can't afford things, gets super embarrassed about it
- Pessimism
- Doesn't like when people don't listen to him
- Being interrupted when he's in 'the zone'
- Water if he can't see his own feet
- When people ask 'hey did you draw this' when clearly yes he is like do you not see his pencil on the paper?!

_{Home Life}

He doesn't really think his home is anything special; he lives with his parents and younger sister, though they are constantly working so Yoshi doesn't see them as much as he would like. Nonetheless he knows they're working hard so he can go to college and does his best to keep the household in order when they aren't around.

_{Personal Motivation}

Yoshi is looking to make as many friends as possible for his first year. For his future, he's decided on becoming a business analyst--the farthest thing from his passion, unfortunately. He doesn't have much interest in it but knows the job pays well, so he's made it his goal.

@AdmrlStalfos19

Social Class is most notably the first thing that comes to mind with this one. The GM Staff aren't really all that privy to accepting any more characters in the wealthy denomination. We already have Nanako and Ichika to fit this mold and I don't think having more characters of great wealth in their background would be beneficial. In Japanese Anime we tend to see characters like this as a genuine surprise (K-ON! comes to mind). Similarly we already have a great deal of male characters who are introverted, have deceased parents, and we really want to try to get some more optimistic and cheerful characters in to make a reasonable dynamic. Just because Kurosuoba is a boring city doesn't mean it is exactly depressing or soul-crushing.

There are also regulations in Japanese schools about piercings and other demeanor. So that's a thing, too.

I also think thematically there are issues with the character, so at the end of the day I'll probably have to reject this character application unfortunately.

_{Physical Description}

Mari is a fit and strong young girl that stands on the taller end of her female peers at around 165 centimetres. She has an appropriately toned and athletic body that lacks excess fat, due to her sporty background and almost obsessive dedication towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Her jet black hair is cut into a stylish round bob with a middle parting, which puts her large forehead in full view. Coupled with her fair glowy skin and circular face shape, Mari has a somewhat 'moon like' appearance.

→ Lackluster relationships
→ Her physical insecurities
→ The current state of her family

_{Home Life}

Mari hasn't always lived in Kurosuoba, having just moved from her birthplace in Tokyo after her last year of middle school. Her family's financial situation has been quite well off her entire life, but to say that she is happy with her home life would be far from the truth. Even now her mum remains relatively detached from her daughter and husband, often working into the night and taking very few days off. Mari's dad was basically the only present parental figure during her childhood, and despite also working long hours as a high school teacher he always made sure to make time for his daughter; but an unfortunate car accident that occurred on the day of Mari's middle school graduation has left him recovering in hospital far from her current home ever since. Although her mum is beginning to make more of an appearance in her life, the Tsukimi household remains as lonely and quiet as it had always been, with added tensions between Mari and her mum now that circumstances are bringing them together.

_{Personal Motivation}

If there's one thing Mari wants to do, it's to change. To be more friendly, more patient, less impulsive and brash, and perhaps more accepting of others and herself. To love and be loved. Mari hasn't had the best school life experiences, and as a result is hoping to improve herself to make sure she doesn't fall into a deep hole of self loathing and unhappiness again. She's had enough of the solitude and tragedy, and so Mari has made a resolve to live these next three years to their fullest, to leave her past behind and start over in this new rural city of unfamiliar faces. For a brighter future, Mari will do whatever it takes.

But putting on the face of a confident and charismatic young girl while hiding the anger and insecurity building up within her can only take her so far.

Miscellaneous

TBA

_{Belongings & Inventory}

Biking around is Mari's usual mode of transport, second to just walking everywhere. She always, always carries several homemade cereal bars and a pastel blue 1.5 litre bottle in her school bag (her smartphone being of a similar colour). The girl has a massive appetite, and is always one to fuss about drinking enough water every day. Hydration is important, after all!
