Katsuo, like most horny guys going through puberty, wants a girlfriend. Preferably, she’d be hot as hell and hyper kinky too, because really, like most of his kind, he doesn’t really want a girlfriend. He just wants to get laid. Unfortunately, Katsuo is also someone who veers on the stupid side of the spectrum, an impulsive, emotionally immature brat who doesn’t use his brain for much thinking at all. He will believe the words of someone he trusts over the facts of the matter, and he will bend over backwards to help people who appeal to him emotionally, regardless of how deserving of aid they actually are. Kinder people may think of him as a good-hearted idiot, but that doesn’t change the fact that Katsuo is indeed an idiot, easily manipulated and taken advantage of, especially by the fairer sex, because goddamn, the kid has terrible taste in his romantic interests.
Well, at least he’s not an incel. And hey, surely something good will come out of his impulsive law-breaking one day?
Biography
Katsuo was 11 years old when he realized that he wanted a girlfriend. It wasn’t like his family was particularly twisted, or that he had stumbled across anything like a porn mag back then that caused a premature sexual awakening. He was simply walking back home from school when he saw a teenage couple (not all that good-looking, really) steal kisses on a park bench, and wondered what that felt like. And once that curiosity was lit, Katsuo began to seek it in other sources too. While other kids read manga for the glorious, hot-blooded conflict, he got into the romantic subplots, no matter how bad or drawn-out they were. While other kids hit up the game store to play demos of the latest Smash, he’d find himself in the visual novel aisle, reading the back covers of sappy or bittersweet dating sims. While other kids ran away from girls due to cooties and other dangerous, transmitted diseases, he…also ran the hell away from girls, because he couldn’t deal with them at all.
By middle school, Katsuo decided to make his move, not by actually making friends with any girls, or joining a club with mixed genders, or anything like that. No, like the inexperienced idiot he was, he decided to take all the points that made male protagonists in fiction ‘popular’ and decided to emulate them. He worked out and took martial arts lessons, in preparation for the day he’d stumble across hooligans harassing a cute girl. He joined his school’s basketball club, even if he was always a second-stringer. He studied hard, because maybe, one day, his reputation for intelligence would mean some cute girls would ask him to help them study. He even went to school purposefully late, hoping for a chance encounter with a girl with toast in her mouth. Reality wasn’t so kind though. His town was a safe town, so hooligans just did their hooligan-ing without anything extra. He had some skill with basketball, but the fact that he wasn’t the best meant that the ace of the club stole all the attention anyways. He studied hard, but that made him appear unapproachable instead. And, of course, the only thing he got for running to school late was a bad attendance record.
Katsuo stayed optimistic though. How could he not? After all, high school was where all the sweet romances began, right? With plans on joining a cultural club (preferably one with a small membership that included a cute girl who was passionate about said club), he headed to the next stage in life with sex on his mind…and promptly got run over by a truck after leaping out into traffic in an attempt to save a little kid who was crossing the road.
He never knew whether or not the kid made it out.
He wished he did.
Regrets
Dying a virgin sucks. If he could have tapped dat ass before his life expired, Katsuo might not have felt all that bad about dying the way he did.
Name: Daisuke Masuda Age: 28 Gender: Male Personality: For the most part Daisuke is a positive person, but while it's hard to get him down when he is he is deep down. He has no issues with authority, as long as it isn't oppressive or clearly incompetent, but he prefers to follow his path if possible. While never an issue in his previous life he is weak to the promise of money though his ethics and morals will steer him away from the obviously nastier ways to make it, unless he is tricked.
Biography: Daisuke comes from a lower middle class family and his parents wanted something better for him. As a result while not overly strict in any way shape or form they did somewhat pressure him to do his best in school. Unfortunately his intelligence was about average and he didn't particularly like school. Still he understood his parent's reasoning and eventually went to college, only to drop out during his third year. After two months he found what he thought would be a short term job as a delivery man for UPS.
Cut to fours years later and he still hadn't any better job offers he qualified for. Still his life wasn't too bad. Sure he shared an apartment with two roommates but they got along well enough, and his parents while disappointed he dropped out respected his decision. Things took a turn for the worse when he got into a car accident with a drunk driver on his way home from work. Daisuke died pretty much instantly.
Regrets: His main regret is never getting a better paying job, as most of the money he made went into paying off student loans.
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
Name: Aoba Ren Age: 28 Gender: Male Personality: Violently protective, easily made suspicious. Genuinely enjoys the presence of children. Will place the lives of those younger than him above all else.
He is, or was a very soft spoken and patient young man, but time spent in the ghetto where he grew up has turned his quiet optimistic approach, into a means to gather information surprisingly easily before he bursts. His temper, while hard to rouse, is near impossible to soothe. He is surprisingly loud, always willing to scream to be heard, though this is not always a good thing. He cares little for himself, and spends more time worrying about friends and family more than anything, a cause for concern among those who know him.
Biography Aoba died doing what he had done for the last 12 years, trying to make sure his twin neices were safe somehow in the ghetto where they lived. Keeping a long story short, Aoba's neice Samantha was kidnapped and he found her too late, both to save her or himself. He didn't leave this world without a fight though, as when the police and ambulance found him he was curled around Samantha, holding her in a deathgrip and riddled with wounds, wounds that one could imagine came from the multitude of injured and even dead men around him. He never made it to the hospital.
Before his death however, he was a college dropout who had been studying medicine so that he could hopefully one day become a surgeon. He had dropped out to work and take care of his twin neices and their mother, his younger sister. He was never a fan of the internet or even videogames, and as a result his entrance into this new world is a strange one for him, only comparable to the shoddy fantasy romance novels he found himself absorbed in whenever he had any free time when his Gym-Freak friends had not dragged him off to join them.
Regrets: Too young, too young by far... He had arrived too late, and was not strong enough to protect her.
Just a little more, a little longer, they all need to pay... He was unable to finish off all the men responsible,
What if.... Dropping out of med school was difficult, and closed a lot of doors
Personality: Merlou is a very kind, optimistic, and gentle person, often putting other’s well being before her own. She is patient, yet a little passive aggressive if needed, but most times not as it’s hard to anger or upset her, though it’s easier for her to become sad if anything. She is carefree and prefers to take things slowly, having really no set goal in mind, but if she did, it would take some time to get there as Merlou tends to get distracted quite easily.
She has a habit of getting pretty clingy around those she finds attractive, which that would be women, and she can start to get a bit possessive as well, but she means no harm by it in any way. She is easily let down, but she is good at hiding her disappointment and other negative feelings behind a smile, which helps her move on quicker, though those feelings tend to linger around.
Merlou is an emotional somebody, and she really wants someone there that she can talk to, so she’s on the lookout for someone to love, almost to where she’s kind of a hopeless romantic. She loves to cuddle, preferably with women, but she’ll take anyone who’s willing, and she can be a bit airheaded at times, though she’s trying her best.
She has almost a motherly sort of instinct, and will take care of those who are younger than her, bringing them under her wing. She is also an all together terrible liar, she gets all nervous and fidgety when lying, so she’d rather not say anything at all if it came down to it. Merlou is very loyal though, and a great friend especially for emotional support and will stick with others through hard times.
She is loving and adventurous, although taking risks would be up to someone else. She’s extroverted and loves to be with other people, and she tends to get lonely very often, almost becoming sort of anxious when by herself, so having a partner is very high on her to do list.
Biography: Born into a wealthy and large family of twelve, with her being the eldest daughter, Merlou competed in beauty pageants from a young age, earning many medals from the time she was seven to twelve years old. Her parents were often away on business trips, and although they had a nanny, Merlou ended up taking care of most of her younger siblings. It was around the same time that she knew she was lesbian, and very much so, but when she tried to tell her parents, they believed that it was just a phase that she was going through, and that she should be serious about that sort of thing and not play around. So, in response, she kept her feelings a secret from her family, not wanting to disappoint them in any way, she often pretended that she had a “boyfriend”, just to please them, and the only lying situation that she was actually good at.
After graduating high school, she went on to nursing school, although this was not the path that her parents wanted her to take. They wanted her to become someone “worth remembering”, like a model since that’s what she was good at. So, in order to please them again, she did modeling as a hobby but she told them that she quit nursing school instead, which at least modeling made her some money, and it’s not that she didn’t like it, she knew that in the future it wasn’t going to support her as she got older. So it the midst of coming home from a night internship, she got into a heated argument with her mother, finally telling her everything and of course, she was very upset, which only made Merlou upset as well, and as driving at night and crying don’t exactly mix well, Merlou was involved with a head on collision, and later died at the hospital she was working at.
Regrets: Merlou very much regrets not telling her parents everything sooner, she didn’t like lying then, and she doesn’t like lying now. She hates the fact that she wasn’t open with them, and now it was her own fault for her life to end the way it did.
Name: Apollo Kaztien Age: 23 Gender: Male Personality: Apollo is a genuinely kind and caring person, although he hates to show it in front of an audience. He prefers it when people see him has manipulative & conniving. He always has to be in control of the situation. For this reason, he has developed a quick wit and always has a trick up his sleeve. He despises skin contact and wears black gloves to help mitigate the symptoms of his haphephobia. He is always calm and collected, never letting others gleam too much. He believes there is power in knowledge and will do most anything in pursuit of that knowledge.
Biography: Apollo's was born to a mother he never knew. Orphaned as a baby, Apollo spent his childhood in a rundown church. He spent his days playing with the children of the church. Somedays the nuns of the church would task the kinds with striking out and collecting donations for the church. During one of these excursions, Apollo befriended an elderly street magician known as Gilles the Beguiler. They formed an unlikely partnership when they were together. Apollo would help call people into watching one of his shows, and Gilles would split a small portion of the profits to take back to the church. All the while Apollo slowly learned the tricks-of-the-trade from Gilles. He specialized in close up magic. A field that requires deft sleight of hand and misdirection. Creating an illusion of magic for spectators to ooh and aah over.
As Apollo grew up, his partnership with Gilles grew too. Instead of just helping call the crowd together, Apollo now performed alongside Gilles as an assistant and fellow magician. They were the stars of the boardwalk. People stopped dead in their tracks to have the wool pulled over their eyes, and Apollo enjoyed every moment of it. When the days were done, Apollo would return to the church and share his experiences with the children. He would tell stories of magic and wonder to them and show them a trick or two before shooing them off to bed. He used whatever excess profit he made from his street shows to help support the church and the children. It was his way to support what he viewed as his family. To Apollo, everything was good.
That all came crashing down when he and Gilles were mugged one night returning from one of their shows. Apollo survived, but Gilles was beaten to death on the Boardwalk they both loved so much. Apollo was never quite the same after that. He grew a disdain for being touched. Contact with others seemingly causing abrupt flashbacks to the night he was mugged and the image of Gilles body. He decided to keep away from the boardwalk for a while and develop a solo act Gilles would be proud of. He spent most of his days in public libraries, studying anything and everything he thought would be useful to become a better deceiver. He read up on the newest technology, psychology, chemistry, and even history. He read everything he could on perception and the art of thieves. He studied the greatest magicians. After he constructed what he thought was the worlds greatest act, he built a stage.
Overnight he returned to the boardwalk and built a grand stage for his new performance to play on. Filled with all the bells and whistles required for his act. He was ready. The sun rose and people began to fill the boardwalk. Many people began to gather around the sudden new structure that appeared overnight. Once the crowd was large enough, Apollo took the stage ready to give the people a dazzling display of illusion and magic, but before he could even announce who he was, the stage exploded. The children who helped build the night before had placed some components too close to each other and caused a reaction that inevitably resulted in the demise of Apollo, the greatest magician that never was.
Regrets: He regrets not being able to continue to support the church with his performances. He regrets not being able to save Gilles that night on the boardwalk, and he regrets not being able to bring the greatest illusions to life on his grand stage.
Inventory: His smartphone, two pairs of black gloves, several packs of playing cards, a set of lockpicks, a single coin, and a cane with a crow head on the top with several compartments hidden within.
Umi is a manic gourmand that has her priorities all in the wrong places. A slave to her whims, she constantly acts with zero foresight and infinite conviction. Despite her constant mistake-making, she's rather smart for being a 15 year old meme lord. That's a really low bar, though. You could pick up a sack of cornflakes and it would be smarter than a meme lord. She says that she's deep in the category of 'BIG BRAIN CHIMPANZEES' and labelled herself as such with infinite confidence, but she's more similar to a gremlin. Her interests besides food are a bit more esoteric. She's a lover of all things vintage and old tech, but has zero knowledge of the differences between vintage, obsolete, and antique. She has an absurd level of knowledge of wrestling moves and storylines, but has not watched a single match. Really, she's just a hyper active goober who has yet to mature past the mental age of 8.
Biography
Born an infinite bundle of energy to counter-culture parents, it was no mistake that Umi was destined to be special. It's a shame that it was the wrong type of special. While she was born with a bad heart, her passion and will to live thrust her forward in life. With the amazing ability to absorb knowledge at an above average rate, she breezed through elementary with the ferocity of everything. Junior High was just as easy. In fact, school was boring to the wild child. As her parents said, school was just a corrupt institution that forced people to give up their individuality. Except for, you know, students having free will and the ability to make their own choices. Besides that, school was a despotic reign.
But school was never something that interested her. What did interest her was food. The solidified elixir that filled mankind with vigor and life. Umi's quest for food had sent her down a wild path. From the very start, she had decided to make the everything burger. The burger that truly had everything on it. Kobe beef, regular beef, bacon, pork chops, venison, crocodile, and every other meat that could be acquired in Japan. Why? Because she could. It would be a flavour blast of epic proportion! A meatsplosion! Unfortunately, Umi didn't have a job and her parents didn't believe in any typical almsgivings. Her quest lasted for five years before she croaked from a congenital heart disease. Unfortunate.
Regrets
She never managed to make and eat that everything burger that was truly everything.
