[CHAR] Street Punk Serenade: Delinquent Days

---

Name: Minato Ishida
Favorite School Subject: Japanese Literature
Favorite Food: Takoyaki


Theme Song:


Why They Fight:
Minato Ishida is somewhat of an anomaly. Born in Tokyo, he grew up as a mostly affable and friendly young man, always demonstrating good manners and consistently being polite. He was respectful, charming, and quiet – never causing issue or uproar and never being considered an “interruption” or a “disturbance” by his teachers. There were however, glimpses of another side to himself that would spill out, teasing a strict code of ethics and morals reserved for an older man.
Minato was raised by a father in the criminal justice system, and it was engrained into him at a very early age the importance of justice, of the stark difference between what is right and what is wrong. Young Minato took these lessons to heart – he became a member of his school’s “Disciplinary Committee” reporting on those he would have considered wrong-doers with a cold and ruthless demeanor, and reporting directly to the highest social level at the school:

The Sarayashiki Student Council.

It wasn’t uncommon for the elite group of students to take personal umbrage with Minato – his willingness to commit violence against those he considered a “disruption” and the “riff raff” he had associated with – including “Ten Ton” Takuya and Ana Tamura. The first being Minato’s first “real friend” and the second being his closest to his Lieutenant. Others in the Student Council committee wielded the 3 delinquents as a personal spear against other schools, wanting to crush any competition and growing addicted to the power. It wasn’t long before the “Disciplinary Committee” was considered more of a gang of street punks than anything else. Minato and the others didn’t mind, they were fighting for their own reasons…

A series of events in his personal life, as well as the corrupted nature of both the Student Council and those who were in power, Minato and the others abandoned their role as arbiters of justice. The final straw came after a vicious fight between their ranks and a rival school's gang. Likely a set-up by their own student council, Saryashiki's Delinquents were joined by a classmate - Yonaka Aimi - a particularly volatile girl with a connection to Minato.After that particularly violent encounter, the earliest incarnation of the Sarayashiki Gang realized that they didn’t need their schools support or approval. Minato swore that they would take Sarayashiki by force, and from there they would “correct” all of the other schools that would try and make their claim. With split lips and bruises, the four of them promised to crush everyone who broke their view of “justice” beneath their heels. With that, Minato and the newly christened Sarayashiki Gang began to align themselves with similarly broken people, coming together under various reasons in order to force the world to work to their perspective.

Student Council Treasurer - Shino Akimichi

Name: Shino Akimichi
Favorite School Subject: Physical Education
Favorite Food: Animal Bun-stuffed Curry
Theme Song:

Why They Fight: Shino Akimichi was recruited to join the Student Council in the vacant Treasurer seat. This was originally met with some confusion by underlings at the student council, as Shino is terrible at math. The Vice President however deemed it necessary as she labeled the Student Council "A living beast that needs all students to play a part." The truth is more likely that Shino represented brute strength, and his terrifying aura was enough to raise the Student Council's ability.

Mai Li

Name:
Mai Li

Image - Quite big!

Favourite School Subject:
History

Favourite Food:
Yakisoba, especially when it's flavoured with ginger.

Theme Song:


Why They Fight:
Half-Japanese, half-Chinese, Mai has struggled to fit in anywhere her entire life. Everywhere she goes, it seems someone will judge her for her heritage. She's had enough. She's going to make sure that everyone knows her as her, not just as “that Chinese girl”.

Background/Personality:
Born to a Chinese father and a Japanese mother, Mai Li has always struggled to fit in. On one hand, she has very little connection to China; she has never been there, as she was born and raised in Japan, and her only knowledge of the country comes from her father and grandparents. But on the other hand, her heritage is not something that can be discarded so easily. Memories of the war are still fresh in the minds of the Japanese people, and it's hard to find someone willing to trust a “sangokujin” easily.

She's sick of being seen as a foreigner in the country that she calls home, and she's sick of being associated with people an ocean away. Why can't anyone see her as herself? Why does she have to act this way or that way in order to be seen as a “proper” Japanese? Who cares where her dad came from?

So she's thought of an alternative: if people won't treat her like just another person, then she's going to do what she can to stand out. She's going to be loud. She's going to be boisterous. She's going to do everything in her power to make it so that when people think of the name Mai Li, their first thoughts aren't going to be “that's the Chinese girl, isn't it?”

And that means putting in the effort to stand out. “Orthodox” is the one word no one could ever use to describe Mai. She's as stubborn and as insubordinate as they come, openly defiant of any authority and totally willing to give something a go just because it isn't what's expected of her. Above all else, she values her individuality, and hates the thought of being seen as just another part of the crowd.

That said, she does have limits. Her rebellious attitude is more of an attempt at expressing individuality than it is a genuine rebellion against authority, and it isn't like she's going to kill a man just because she feels like it. She's tomboyish and bratty, but she isn't an out-and-out thug, and although she can definitely finish a fight, she isn't so keen on starting them. At the end of the day, she still cares about her reputation, and she'd wants to be known as cool and unique, not violent and unhinged.

Yonaka Aimi: Will Break Knees for Food

Name: Yonaka Aimi
Appearance:

Favorite School Subject: Music

Favorite Food: Boys.

Theme Song:

Why They Fight: Because she loves the Sarayashiki Gang. It's her family. But perhaps even more than that, she loves Minato Ishida. Even if she doesn't want to admit a weakness like that, it's true. She has a serious crush on him, which is something she isn't supposed to have on anyone.

Background/Personality: Yonaka Aimi has a reputation of being a cruel, manipulative, and sadistic man-eater. And while some of it is based in reality, mostly it's just because she's a heart-breaker and some people get mad about getting dumped. Especially members of street gangs. Aimi plays a dangerous game, that's for sure, but it's a fun one. Aimi is a thrill-seeker in all aspects of life. Where's the fun if there's no risk?

Aimi is sarcastic, wry, yet fun-loving and extroverted. Often she teases people she cares about, occasionally going too far by accident. She acts pretty arrogant, but she'll apologize and try to get on the good side of other members of the gang because she cares about them too much to let her stupid ego get in the way. But there's no mercy for the people she dislikes, and she enjoys messing with or otherwise hurting her enemies. Aimi is actually pretty good in a fight, having had some official training, mostly relying on kicks to soften up her opponent and then going in for the win with some head strikes or her baseball bat if things are serious.

Aimi chases thrills because her home life is so exceptionally boring to her. Her family is actually middle class, but her mother and father are in a loveless relationship with each other and her father hardly has any affection for her. Her mother is also emotionally exhausted, though she probably does still care. Her parents put a lot of pressure on her and are overall just detatched and miserable people that Aimi strongly dislikes being around. As such she spends as little time home as possible, rebelling against the soul-crushing system that she blames for her hollow home-life.

Be it by joining a gang or pursuing her many romantic interests. As such, Aimi is all about close emotional connections, she cherishes them very much. Those who know her know that her tough girl persona is just that- a persona. Since she has money to spare she secretly gives it to charities or uses it to buy gifts for her friends: though she'll always say she stole it from somewhere or got it after she beating up three guys at once. Not that she got it as part of her allowance. She never speaks of home and always tries to conceal the route she takes to get back there, it's a part of herself she's quite ashamed of.

Aimi is an aspiring musician, and when she grows up she wants to create audio art. A lot of her work, that she had recorded and mixed herself with a surprising amount of hard work and effort, has a dark, mysterious, but relaxed vibe to it.

Ishida is one of the few people in her life that actually seems to appreciate who she is and who she is trying to be. While she enjoys chasing and getting chased by boys (and occasionally girls), the soft-spoken, intelligent leader who believes in her has her heart all wrapped up. From her point of view, he saved her from the lifeless path her existence was about to follow when they first met.

Why They Fight:
Akina fight because she want to stand up for what is right, even if she has to become a delinquent

Background/Personality:
Akina was born in a high class family, by day, she is picture perfect daughter with a respectful rich man and his rich wife, that acts prim, proper and of course, perfect but by night, she is part of Sarayashiki Gang, that acts as a head strong and strategies of the gang, trying her to best to separate her perfect life from gang life cause unlike her rich family, she thinks of gang as her real family “....But um, don’t tell them that”

Ana Tamura

Ana Tamura

Favorite School Subject: She will deny it if anyone asks but she really enjoys any art courses she can take.

Favorite Food: Rice balls, plain old regular rice balls.

Theme Song:

Why They Fight: Ana fights more out of necessity than anything else. It used to be to get people to stop bullying her but it morphed when she fell in with a group of fellow “delinquents”. Now she fights for and with them.

Background: Ana’s family was never very well off, they made due but it was never very comfortable. Her father was the real breadwinner in the family, her mother only working a little while still trying to raise Ana. Her father was diagnosed with cancer before Ana was old enough to enter school, and for a while it seemed like he was winning his battle. That was until Ana was about 8, when his health took a turn for the worse. He died before her 9th birthday. From there her life only got harder. Her mother fell into depression and began neglecting herself and Ana. She fell ill shortly after her father’s passing and eventually she too passed. By the time Ana was 10 she entered into the foster care system. It wasn’t too terrible but the kid in her school had a habit of making fun of her for not having any parents. The once sweet girl started getting into more and more fights as time went on. At first she lost a lot of them, but as time passed she had gotten better and better at brawling people. Entering middle school many people knew that behind the passive face Ana put on there was a girl underneath that could kick some ass if need be and she ended up falling in with a group of other delinquents.

Personality: Ana tends to keep a rather passive demeanor, until threatened. She is kind to those she considers friends or family but indifferent toward anyone else. Despite her reputation she doesn’t seek out fights, though she has no problem bloodying someone’s face if they start a fight with herself or the people she cares about.

Takuya Toronaga, aka, "Ten Ton" Takuya

Name:"Ten-Ton" Takuya Toronaga
Appearance: Over-weight, despite his athletics. Average height, shoulder length black hair tied back like the Sumo do it.

Favorite School Subject: Gym, despite formerly being a favorite target of the bullying gym teacher.
Favorite Food: Okonomiyaki
Theme Song: youtu.be/pnFdDqSDRDE
Why They Fight: For respect, of his peers and his leader.
Background/Personality: Takuya was always "the fat kid". It's why he was such a fan of sumo; nobody pushed them around, they were the one's who did the pushing. But he was always discouraged from rough sports- his mother was too afraid of her precious baby getting hurt, and his father only had time to put him down for not being more interested in soccer or baseball (subtle hints that he was ashamed his son's interest in sports didn't motivate him to lose weight). His bullies, when he still had them, called him "Ten-Ton", as a remark on his weight and appearance. Even his gym teacher joined in when things were at their worst, taking advantage of his position to belittle him and push him around, verbally and physically, always picking on him for being "too soft". His breaking point was 2 years ago, when a particularly nasty bully was coming after him. his "enforcers" called him "Crazy" Kazuki, and he liked knives. Takuya was his favorite target, and he'd often flip around his butterfly knife while wondering quite loudly things like "If I cut you, would I find spiced pork inside you, fat-boy?" The gym teacher was supervising a detention session where Takuya was forced to be in a room with Kazuki when the bully was in a particularly vicious mood. The teacher suggested the boys settle it like men, clearly just wanting to see Takuya get hurt. Kazuki put on quite a performance of acting like whatever he thought "crazy" looked like, eyes wide and tongue hanging out as he charged with his favorite weapon. Takuya panicked, and snapped- He did what he thought a sumo would do, approximated a balanced stance, and leaned into a shove against his assailant's chest- he didn't realize just how much weight he'd put behind the blow, how much strength he actually had. It was only 5 feet distance, from Takuya's position to the window, but he knocked Kazuki the full distance, and smashing through the window. It was only the ground floor, but the window had been closed. He could have been badly hurt, even killed by the breaking glass, but Takuya had reached his breaking point and didn't care. He stood up straight, and gave a cold stare at the other two boys. They'd previously been egging the little monster on, but were dead quiet, now, and when Takuya glanced at each individually, they flinched, hard, terrified that the scariest one in the room tried him and might have just died for it. The gym teacher shouted out, "You little punk, what do you think you're doing!?" He charged to tackle Takuya, who quickly turned to face him- apparently he was good at thinking quickly, because he single handedly lifted up desk, and, leaning his full weight into the strike again, thrust forward, smashing the desk flat against his ugly face! as the teacher fell on his back, Takuya leapt, and sat on his chest, pummeling his face, screaming with each blow, "Who's-soft-now!?" Kazuki survived, despite getting cut up badly (sheer luck none of his injuries required stitches), and the teacher wanted to press charges, but his father managed to pull some strings. Takuya was forced to be held back a year, and perform community service for a time, but nobody picked on him anymore. Kazuki did his best to avoid him, and the teacher was more lenient with him in class. And all the other kids? When they called him "Ten-Ton" Takuya, they weren't laughing anymore. Some of them even started being nicer to him! Especially the smaller, weaker kids, who couldn't stand up to their bullies like he did. He'd gained respect, and confidence, but also lost his own respect for authority. He got bolder, frequently challenging the adults and teachers around them; they didn't respect the kids, and didn't do much to help the one's that needed it, so what good were they? "Ten-Ton" Takuya would make his own way, and anybody who didn't respect that had better get out if it.

Ikue

Appearance

¤ Name: Ikue Marada
¤ Favorite School Subject: Japanese Literature
¤ Favorite Food: Green Tea Ice Cream

¤ Reason for Fighting: Strictly speaking, Ikue is no fighter. She prefers to save that for her fellow gang members and ruffians of sinful cloth. That said, she's not above a few stab wounds either. So why does she fight? Because it's human nature. The doctrine of the strong consuming the weak, or the weak eating apart the strong is nothing short of the human spirit at its finest. Be it at the unknown levels of the corporate world or the common man in the streets, it all adds up the same to her. People fight because they must to survive, regardless of rank or title. Having fun with it is just a bonus to the salary.

¤ Background & Personality: The epitome of human nature is chaos. At the first sign of weakness or benefit to the individual, a person will backstab, gut about, lie, and betray their fellow man to get atop in life. Make no mistake; human beings will eat each other alive in some dignified but disillusioned sense of survival. It is this component that stirs them on, especially for those in great power and wealth. Ikue Marada just so happens to have both, having learned life's funny lessons through observation and personal experience. It's no secret the Marada family has quite the bit of money to their name and with it came a constant target on her back, especially for a wretched little school like Sarayashiki Junior High.

But even despite her family insistence in putting her in an actual establishment of education, Ikue persisted in devoting her time to the less than accommodating school. That was because she loved the people there. Yes, seeing life's little struggles, how the poorer, less fortunate could tear each other apart without a second thought in exchange for authority; all of it was too similar to the business world and luxury of the rich. It was fascinating to say the least and such a violent world drew her presence over to foster such a bloody environment. Of course, she was no stranger to the danger herself, but a glint of sharp steel and an instinct almost too inhumane stopped most from testing their luck.

Very shortly did she dispel the rumors and image of the "rich brat" that carried over her back. No, she was something worse. A benefactor, an employer, someone who threw money at the mongrels around her for the sake of entertainment and exploitation, only to slide away when the chaos ensued. A devil, a cheat, a liar, and a whore; money could buy any sort of thing if the heart desired it. Perhaps that was why she threw her bets and investments into the Sarayashiki Gang. Something about them caught her interest, some untapped potential.

That much proved true with their leader, someone that, for whatever reason, drew her eye above the other delinquents and street raff. Naturally her presence became a considerable backbone for the Sarayashiki Gang as Ikue is no stranger to burning green for their sake, if only to provide them with an edge over other gangs. As a result, she spends most of her time being the gang's idle benefactor in more ways than one, all too eager to sacrifice anyone and anything in Minato Ishida's personal growth and development. Whatever that means, for who knows what goes on in the minds of people who have way too much time and expense to spare. Rumor has it she's taken a personal and sudden interest in the occult, much to the benefit or disdain of those around her.

Just don't ask how the Marada family makes their coin.

Hey Leyroy - there's some character things in there that don't fit our story, a famous clone assassin is too high concept for the street level story we're going to be playing.

Is that little Rin-chan I see in tow? How you doing, kid?" "Hello, mister." "Thanks for letting her tag along, dude. I ... had to get her outta the house." "Say no more. Rin-chan, would you like a melon soda? Or an apple juice?" "Really? Is it okay?" "Whatever you want, you've got it." "Hmmmmmm ... soda, please!" "Here you go." "Thank you very much!" "Rin, just be careful, alright? I'll be right here ............ You didn't have to do that, man." "I was already at the store, so don't go pretending it was some noble thing. As for us grown-ups ... They were outta Yebisu, but Asahi is fine, right?"

"As long as it's cold, and as long as you got enough."

"Shit. Things must be pretty bad at Castle Takanashi if you're sayin' moody crap like that."

"She ain't safe in her own house right now, never mind the park at 9pm. So, yeah. You could say that."

"It ain't all bad. She's got her onii-chan to protect her."

"From the chairs and dishes flying at her head, maybe. But the words? The crap he's said to her? I dunno ... Drunk old bastard. Piece of shit. Ah, sorry for blabbing, man; I'm pissed off."

"You're allowed to be, brother. Crack one open; cool yourself down a little. Forget about that scumbag for a while."

"Kanpai ... Heh. I'm surprised Oguni-sensei hasn't confiscated that cooler from you yet."

"Ah, the other troublesome old man. He hasn't confiscated it because he still hasn't found it. Blind as an earthworm. I leave it right there, you know, under the old jūdō mats that no one uses, but he don't notice shit. Hey, how about a cigarette in exchange for the cold one? I'm all out."

"Nah, I got one."

"He still walks home with that sweet thing from Class A. I think it's finally about to get serious."

"For real? No kidding."

"I don't kid. Anyway, this question is from both of us."

"Well, that's enough suspense outta you, anyway; so what the hell is it?"

"... When are we takin' it back, man?"

"Huh?"

"Come on, Yūya; no playin' dumb. We both know you better than that."

"No, really ... Don't look at me like that."

"Then stop playin' this game. You want me to spell it out for you? Fine: Ishida, man. Ishida! He and his little groupies ambush us in our spot one time, one fucking time, and now you're gonna just let him keep it, let it all just happen without our input or approval? No, man, no-no-no-no; that ain't you. You're planning somethin', Yūya. You gotta be. And it's about time that Eiichi and I got in on it."

"Onii-chan, I'm about to jump! Look, look!"

"Yeah! Way to go, Rin! ... He's the banchō now, dude, and we're his soldiers. What you're proposing would be treason."

"So what? You don't wanna be his lackey. You don't wanna roll over and wag for him like all his little bitch-whelps. You don't."

"... You're right. I don't. But—"

"'But' what?!"

"I command more soldiers as his vice-captain than I did as banchō. But you heard him at the last rally, too. Saying that once we've mopped up Sarayashiki, we're gonna expand to the—"

"Enough. Enough, before I puke! ... Hold on, I'm gonna need another beer for this ... Look, Yūya, I know you haven't been to literature class but one or two times all year, but you oughtta know what they had us reading a few weeks ago."

"This leads to a point, right?"

"Paradise Lost. You know, that poem about Lucifer. And you wanna know what Lucifer says, dontcha? He says: 'It's better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.'"

"I ain't angry or betrayed or nothin', man. Not yet. I just think you've forgotten the rules of nature around here. I dunno, maybe you've grown fat and placid on the ... the milk and honey of Ishida-yarou's new world."

"Man, I hang out with you to get away from poetry, not to catch it from your dumbass mouth."

"I'm only trying to help you, bro, so listen up for a minute. Just one. If you take nothing else away from our little pow-wow, then this is the important part."

"Onii-chan, you're not looking!"

"I'm looking right now! ...... Alright, Hiroaki. I'm listening."

"We're third-years now, brother. High school's less than a year away, and then what? Come April the three of us will be ripped apart and thrown into different schools? Forced to start over in new hallways, against new gangs and new banchō all by ourselves? We'll wait for the guys a year, two years above us to start graduating out before staking a real claim, all the while defending our little scraps? Not a chance, Yūya. Not while we're still here, together, letting another chance at our legacy slip through our fingers."

"..."

"You know, for a while there, we were the big dogs that everyone had to worry about around here. And it's not too late to become those wolves once again. Chrissake, it's only our third year! But this year is our last chance, bro. At Sarayashiki greatness; a legacy unbesmirched by that Ishida bastard and his ... upstart ideas. We could still be like 'Piston Fist' Genda, or like Momoko the Razor: legends."

"Hey, we could always play a few really good games, make it to the prefectural playoffs."

"Very funny. Come on, bro. You don't actually wanna be remembered as some nobody's lieutenant. You don't wanna wither and die under any shadow, but his least of all. You wanna remind these twerps how it felt to measure every step they took, for fear of crossing Sarayashiki's Three Kings. Don't you?"

"......................... I dunno, Hiroaki. You're right, but—"

"Fuck yeah I'm right."

"—but what if it's just the way things are supposed to be? Maybe we lost fair-and-square."

"Hey, look. C'mon, look at me. How likely is it that some skinny, long-haired faggot and his gaggle of fangirls took down the baseball club without any tricks or schemes? That they beat you because they were actually stronger than you?"

"... I guess pretty unlikely."

"And you would guess right, my friend. That's why you're thinking about this all wrong. You didn't 'lose' our turf; they stole it from you, through deception. And dishonor."

"Maybe ... Yeah, maybe."

"So that's the crux of what Eiichi and I have been wondering ... How long are we gonna let this transgression stand?"

"And when are we making it right. Rising to retake the Sarayashiki crown and become the Three Kings once more."

"So? What's your answer, 「bosu」?"

"......... I dunno. I need time to think about it. Even if it's what I want, we gotta gather allies, be sure it'll succeed this time ..."

"Hmmm. Then, I need your assurance on something else."

"... Yeah?"

"The way you're lookin' at your little girl right now; makin' sure she doesn't fall from the jungle gym, or God forbid, get approached by one of those playground perverts ... wanting to be there in a millisecond, so you can make everything better, and keep her safe. You've got a heart, Yūya, even if you wanna look like you don't. But promise me that your big friggin' heart ain't tuggin' for anyone in the gang. Promise me there's no skirt you wanna protect; no pity for the losers who'll inevitably go down with Ishida's sinking ship; nothing to stand between you and what's gotta be done."

"It ... it ain't like that, Hiroaki."

"You sure? Can you look me in the eye and make that promi—"

"It ain't like that!"

"... Alright ... Good enough. It sounds like we'll at least know your real intentions soon. Maybe after the next war-council."

"After the next war-council. Maybe."

"..."

"It's like you said: we've got until the end of the year."

"Think about it, then, if that's what you need. But if you're gonna stand up to him, know that you've got the two of us watching your back. Even if the rest of the baseball team has forgotten."

"The best in all of Sarayashiki, right?"

"................. Another beer?"

"No. I need another fucking cigarette."

Theme Song:


Why They Fight:
Why not? Kevin's been a pretty rough guy since he was little and tussling has been a great pass time.

Background/Personality:
Kevin's mother and father met while his dad, an army man, was stationed in Japan. His dad was leaving the army pretty soon after his son was born but things didn't work out with his mom and the two split, Kevin's dad taking custody of the baby and bringing him to be raised in the states. Most of Kevin's life was spent in the land of the free and home of the brave but when Kevin's dad got another job as a private security consultant based out of Japan, the two moved back to the land of the rising sun and Kevin was enrolled in the new school.

Luckily Kevin's dad wanted the boy to keep in touch with the other half of his heritage and made sure to teach him enough Japanese to now finish out his schooling in this new land. There was definitely a lot of prejudice against the new kid from far away at Kevin's new school but being able to handle himself in a scuffle let Kevin build up enough of a reputation to not be picked on for his accent though this left him with little to no real friends. During this time Kevin got really into his bike, a stand-in for the camaraderie he lost moving here. Eventually he found some friendship in the Sarayashiki gang and built up some semblance of respect from his other peers.

Calling Kevin a delinquent is a bit of a stretch to begin with.
