[CHAR] Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

[Midna-Phobia]

Yuri

Name: Yuri Hinada
Age: 15
Grade: 1st Year
Disability: Cardiac Arrhythmia

Personality: Bright and bubbly, Yuri is never one to take a back seat and is usually up for anything though she does have a bit of a mischievous streak. Though sometimes a little blunt and insensitive, she is one of the most honest, loyal and trustworthy people you will ever meet. She can often be a little loud and over the top, but never means any harm by it. She tries not to let her condition affect her, however sometimes she can get a little irritable when she feels limited by it.

Background: Born to a fairly stereotypical Japanese family, Yuri was born very premature, and suffers a heart deformity as a result. This deformity has led to her Cardiac Arrythmia,which basically means her heart i unable to pump blood correctly and can lead to light-headiness, dizziness and passing out in extreme occasions. However since it something she'd had from birth, it's been very easy for her to live with it and, in a way, she's glad to have been born with it rather than developing it later in life. She transferred to Katawa Shoujo recently because her parents though it would be better able to meet her needs. Whilst a little disappointed at having to leave her old school and friends, Yuri and is looking forward to spending her first year in a school like this and seeing what it has to offer.

Other Info: Whilst her parents want her to focus more on her studies and grades, as much as she can, Yuri tries to lead an active lifestyle. At her old school she was part of the Lacrosse team, and whilst she may not have been the best player on the team she was hardly the worst and at least always tried the hardest and had the most fun. She was also a member of her old school's musical program. Despite her parent's lack of enthusiasm at her interests and hobbies they have never forbade her from pursuing them and she has never let their opinions sway her away from doing the things she loves.

Keiko Koizumi

Name:
Keiko Koizumi
Age:
16
Grade (1st/2nd/3rd year):
2nd year student, first year at the Academy.

Disability:
Keiko is mute, thanks to an accident that almost cost her her life. Now, the mouthy teen is being forced to adapt to a life of silence. She absolutely hates it.

Appearance:

Kei

Keiko has short black hair, normally wears a jacket and usually jeans or other long pants. She doesn't take her appearance to seriously. She stands a roughly 5'5", and has a scar on her throat from her injury. She doesn't like talking about it.

Personality:
Well, to put bluntly, Keiko would be described as incredibly energetic. At least, if she was going to be describing herself. Some other people by describe her as being a bit of a brat that can't follow simple instructions. Not to mention she, herself, does not like people that whole lot and has little patience for them. Especially people, who she believes, are stupid. (translation: Everyone but her) So she can come off as a sarcastic ass most of the time.

That said, she's not unfriendly. Unless you give her a legitimate reason to really not like you, mostly any comments she makes can be taken with a grain of salt. She just likes being difficult, and has little consideration for others. Something she is probably definitely going to have to work on here.

She likes playing the drums, and even though she wails randomly on them a lot of the time, she can actually play. While she doesn't hide the scar from the surgery, she does not like talking about it a whole lot, and will likely change the subject if she can. She will most likely find herself a drum set - or a makeshift drum set failing that, and take it to somewhere outside the school and play them very loudly.

Its also well known in her previous school, she was most definitely not into guys.

Background:
Keiko was born and raised in Japan. Her father, a doctor - a surgeon, and her mom who was an accountant. She had a relatively comfortable life, normal growing up. She pretty much could get her hands on anything she wanted - though even at a young age she preferred doing things herself, without the help of other people.

When she was 14, her best friend showed her drums, and she instantly fell in love with them. She spent most of her school life focusing on her drumming skills ever since then, much to both of her parents rather obvious dismay. They tried to push her to do more school work, but only ended up fighting about it more often than not.

It was during one of these arguments, that her life would inevitably change forever. She was out with her parents, and after another discussion that turned into a pointless argument, it happened. A stupid, chance accident caused by some idiot kid who thought waving around a gun would be cool.

She got off, lucky, really, neck injuries aren't something to laugh about. The bullet managed to miss any major arteries, and missed her spinal cord. Thankfully, her father was able to administer first aid, and keep her alive long enough for proper medical attention to be administered.

She doesn't remember much of the incident, save for one recurring nightmare.

The surgeons managed to remove the bullet and its fragments, and save her life, but the damage was done. The bullet had nicked some nerve in her neck - the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve - whatever that was. Doctors attempted to remove the bullet and repair the nerve, but ultimately failed in doing so. Ultimately, she lost her voice completely.

She, was completely dumbfounded by the fact, that she would never be able to speak again. At least, probably be never able to speak. The doctor mentioned there was a chance that the nerve could repair itself - but it was unlikely. A second surgery might also be able to help, since her life was no longer in danger, but her father ultimately denied letting her do that.

So, after some time, she enrolled in Yamaku Academy, though she didn't want too.

She really, really, doesn't want to be here.

Other Info:
- Doesn't like people talking about, or talking to people about the scar on her neck.
- Is, in fact, into other girls.
- Does not like spicy food.
- loves playing drums.

[Twhirtley]

Name: Shea Fletcher
Age: 16
Grade (1st/2nd/3rd year): 1st
Disability: Deaf
Personality: Very shy and introverted. Often prone to angry outbursts and fits of tears. Her difficulty in communicating has made making friends or even acquaintances a rarity.
Background: Shea was raised by her father and three older brothers as an American Airforce brat at the base in Japan. She never knew her mother, just that she left after she, the youngest, was born. Up until she was 15, she was very cute and bubbly, had a lot of friends, and was a generally pleasant person to be around.

However, it all changed when her and her family were heading out to their truck to go to the movies. Her and her eldest brother Robbie were about to get in the truck as her dad started it, when it exploded. The truck flipped onto its side, trapping her beneath her brother's dead body in the doorway, as it burned. She hadn't even realized that the initial blast had completely shredded her inner ears, as she was too worried about burning to death. Eventually the fire rescue arrived and got her out.

There was nothing the doctors could do for her ears, and she only suffered a few other minor injuries, burns and bruising mostly. The authorities told her it was a disgruntled soldier targeting officers and their families, and that he'd been killed when they pursued him. Having no family back in the states to go to, nor anyone in Japan, it was decided to send Shea to Yamaku Academy. She was too depressed and withdrawn to really care where she went.

Other Info: N/A at this time, a little mystery goes a long way.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Name:
Hayabusa Kenshi

Age:
15, Second Year

Appearance

Disability:
Multiple prosaic limbs (left leg, right hand and right kneecap), blind in left eye

Personality:
Kenshi is diligent and very handworking, especially when it comes to kendo. He often appears cold or apathetic to others and as some tsundere tendencies. Prone to rage fits and outbursts, he hates people who insult family or people who are overall jerks.

He also has a "kinder" side which involves him being a NEET more or less, binge watching anime and playing games. Despite outcry from some teachers and adults, his grades still remain at a good level so he gets away with it.

Biography:
Kenshi's father died to a chronic illness when he was only five, telling him to "be strong and protect your little sister and mom". Taking those words to heart, he decided that kendo would be the best way to protect his mom and little sister, Yui. He maintained good grades as he went to daily lessons at the local dojo and rose to a respectable position in it. When he was 11, he had met Arisaka Touka at the dojo and the two instantly fell in love with each other, training togther in pairs and going out on dates on the weekends.

Unfortuantely, when Kenshi was 14, his house was attacked by burglars. While he was having dinner with his family and Touka (her own parents where running late so she was staying over), a group of four armed men burst in. Kenshi's mother attempted to fend them off with a kitchen knife, but was brought down with a bullet to the head. Touka and Kenshi sprung into action with their wooden kendo swords, but the men had knives of their own and guns and so disabled Touka with a bullet to the knee and Kenshi had taken a blade to the wrist and the eye.

As the men looted the house, they made moves to try and have thier way with the two girls, but Kenshi refused to accept that and heroically sprung into action once more. However, he was so weakened that he couldn't do much and ended up with two bullets to the leg and a stab into his kneecap and was forced to watch the criminals have their way with his little sister and his girlfriend before executing them. Kenshi only survived since the police arrived as they aimed at him and he blacked out from blood loss.

Three days later he would wake up in a hospital and was devastated by the news. He remembered his father's words and how he had failed him, promising to get stronger no matter what. Since then, he has been living with his uncle and aunt and attending both mental and physical therapy, transferring to Yamaku Academy in hopes of starting anew.

Misc Info:
- He spends a huge amount of energy and time on kendo, despite the fact he often manages to injure himself as he hasn't quite got his balance or grip with his new limbs.
- He named his Bokkun (wooden kendo sword), "Blade of Hope" as it was a gift from his uncle who gave it to him as to try and cheer him up. Has the family crest stamped into the handle
- Secretly writes a light novel series known as "Watashi wa genjitsu no sekai de tachiōjō fantajī no hīrōdesu" (Watachji Hirodesu), meaning "I'm a fantasy hero stuck in the real world", under the the pen name "Seto Karashi". The story follows a group of fantasy RPG characters who are taken out of their game and force to live in the real world with much of the story them trying to adapt to modern technology and life while trying to get promoted at their work, McJangles. Has a sizable following (Think a combination of The Devil is a Part Timer and a reversed SAO or Log Horizon).
- More to come later.

Kyle Parker

Name: Kyle Parker
Age: 17
Grade: 2nd Year
Disability: Amputated right arm (experiences frequent phantom pain), depression (mostly causes irritability and anger).
Personality: Extremely kind and incredibly determined, he is not the person people expect him to be considering his background. He’s the kind of guy who will be your friend until you show him otherwise, and those who don’t, he remains loyal to for life. Despite his kind demeanor, he is also incredibly brash, lacking any real common sense, only doing what he feels is natural, even if its sometimes for the worse. His temper can flare up in a moments notice, only to falter just as quickly, if he snaps at someone he immediately regrets it and asks for forgiveness.
Background: Kyle was born on a cold winters night in the city of Los Angelos, Nevada. An only child, Kyle was raised by a father with a very specific goal in mind, for him to be the best damned fighter who ever lived. His future to become THE Ultimate Fighting Champion was set in stone from his very birth, and training soon followed it. What couldn't be done through physical training from the get go was learned by watching every scrap and brawl ever done in television history, and nurtured into him by his father's rearing. When Kyle was finally old enough to physically train he was put on a strict diet, trained day and night, excercised, cardio, weight training, fighting techniques. The only time Kyle's life didn't revolve around the UFC was through his studies. His father hired multiple tutors to teach him different subjects throughout the week, things he would need to know when he lived his life to the fullest.
As Kyle grew older, so did his determination. The lifelong goal his father had for Kyle, became his own as well, and he owned it well. Fight after fight, victory after victory, it brough Kyle closer to his own personal Nirvana, that no matter what opponent stood before him, he would not back down, he would not lose. This determination earned him the title of "The Burning Cinder", the fire that would just never die down, no matter how many punches he took, Kyle would just punch back harder. It wasn't until the eve of his 17th birthday that the fire did finally die. On an even colder winter night, during a match, the roof to the stadium came crashing down. A blizzard formed a massive amount of snow on the roof, it weighed too heavy and the roof could simply not support it, 27 people died, another 300 plus were injured, one of them being Kyle. When they found him, his arm had been torn to shreds by a metal beam and frostbite had begun setting into the wound, the arm had to be amputated from the shoulder down. It wasn't until several weeks after arriving at the hospital that Kyle woke up and learned the news; he could never fight again.
The news was earth shattering, a life that had revolved entirely around fighting was wasted and a new sense of despair fell upon Kyle. To him, his arm was like a piece of his soul, something that had been lost, something that could never be retrieved. Worse yet was the disappointment that had set into his own father, the perfect fighter could not fight, he had no son. Despite all the atrocities that befell him, Kyle simply refused to lay down and die and the cinder began to burn once more. There was another part of his life that wasn't deemed as important as fighting, but since fighting was no longer an option, Kyle would have to resort to education. During his recovery time Kyle worked with the doctors in hopes of finding a school that would help him live a normal life, that school was Yamaku Academy.
Other info: Though the picture above shows Kyle's general appearance, he is missing his right arm and the sleeve to it will be tied up to the shoulder. Kyle's training routine is also deeply engraved into his mind, so you'll find him almost every morning outside doing some form of physical activity. Also as a side note, because Kyle is a foreigner who's preferred language is English he'll be speaking in both English and Japanese. To distinguish the two Japanese will be written as normal text and English will be written as bold text
