Age: 18
Appearance:


Arcana: Hierophant
Personality: A model student. Michiko is a gentle and kind young lady who is always there to lend a listening ear to people with problems and help them if able. She gives off a motherly aura despite only being a few years older than most of the students.
She is also very patient and seldom get very angry though she does get annoyed at times. Michiko is also quite a responsible person who carry out her duties as a shrine maiden at the temple as well as any job given to her. She also knows about a lot of things due to her time spent reading which is one of her hobbies.
However when pressed with questions about herself, Michiko will usually keep silent and close her eyes before changing the topic of conversation and deliberately not sway it back to herself. She secretly hid her skills with a sword and if people are sharp enough, they may realize Michiko puts on 'masks' when carrying out her duties. If a person manages to get close enough to Michiko, she may open up.

Equipment/Skills
Weapon- Katana
Armor- School Uniform, Miko Clothes (She wears her miko clothes on certain days when she needs to help out at her family shrine)
Accessory- Broken Black Magatama Necklace (Michiko’s most cherished possession)
Skills- Michiko is pretty much good in any kind of household chores. She also has quite a lot of energy to be able to complete her tasks.

Background
“…it’s a promise…”
A certain incident in childhood and a broken necklace was what led to Michiko to learn how to use a sword from her father. Born to a religious family taking care of a temple, Michiko was taught on how to become a suitable shrine maiden and successor as caretaker of the temple. Initially forbidden due to Michiko’s interest in a specific katana named Ketsueki which was a family heirloom, her father consent to teaching her the ways of the sword.
Eager to test herself, Michiko visited the Kendo Club when in middle school but was disappointed by the difference of what she was taught leading to her developing her own sword-style. Needing another hobby, Michiko took up reading various texts during her spare time. She was a loner during her middle school years and Michiko decided to change herself in high school.
When in high school, Michiko decided to change her image. Due to her past experience, she avoided the kendo club and decided to join the anime/manga club as a ghost member though she has a tiny bit of interest in them. She usually hangs out at the library or some quiet corner reading a book.

Name: Ito Ishioka

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Appearance:

Arcana: Devil

Personality:
Ito is a very arrogant young man believing himself to be the greatest thing since sliced bread often bragging about how great he is and how great it is to be him. He takes great pride in telling those around him how insignificant they are and how everyone should strive to be like him. He is known to be a bit of a spendthrift barely willing to give anything he has to anyone for any reason. Through all of his pomp and fluff Ito seems to be hiding something deep withing himself that he keeps bottled up, possibly from his lack of trust of anyone around him.

Equipment/Skills:

School Uniform-Pretty self explanatory
Charming- Even with all of his faults Ito manages to give off the suave air about him. Women can’t help but flock to him
Silver Tongue- Ito can make almost anyone believe everything he says
Straight-Edged Razors- Ito carries two Razors made of silver.

Background:
Ito grew up as the literal embodiment of being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Born as the son of a wealthy businessman and successful lawyer for a mother Ito was given everything that he ever wanted the whole of his life. As he grew older and made his way through middle school he began bullying other kids in his school to get what he wanted, which included everything from coffee drinks to lunch money.

It wasn't until that a girl killed herself after she came home from school one day, supposedly because of Ito's bullying, that his parent's started taking notice. When he was confronted about his behavior in school Ito simply replied that it wasn't his fault that the other kids couldn't be like him. Seeing a disturbing tend arising in their son, Ito's parents sent him to live with his aunt and uncle in Warakuma Town just outside of Tokyo in the hopes that he might learn to temper his destructive behavior.

Persona: Mephistopheles

Appearance:

Abilities:

"You throw around 'daughter of the Yakuza' like it's an insult. It is true I am born of the underworld… so tell me why I should take the word of a fool who provokes a demon seriously?"

Name: Jun Himura
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance:



If it weren't for the fact that Jun wears a skirt and has long hair, most people would assume she was just a feminine looking boy. The way she carries herself seems to be that of a man, at any rate. The fact that her "casual" wear (read: clubbing/picking up girls) wear is a suit doesn't help matters.

She rarely wears anything revealing because of the dragon tattoo on her back. It takes up almost the entirety of her back, the only revealing sign that she is indeed, linked to the yakuza.

Arcana: Devil
Personality:

Jun has charisma, and lots of it. She's frank with her opinions and tactful with her words, with a sharp tongue and rapier wit to go along with it. The only problem is that she has no chance to display this aspect of her personality. People are often intimidated by her - if not her reputation then her skill in kendo. It also doesn't help that she's mercilessly shot down every guy who's worked up the courage to confess to her or chucked their love letters straight in the bin in public view.

The hushed whispers behind her back that she's the daughter of a yakuza boss doesn't help either. It's a sore spot for her, especially since she wants nothing to do with that life - even if she's grown up in relative comfort thanks to it. It's her main motivation to do well in school and get a proper job elsewhere. Preferably overseas and far out of the reach of her father.

All of this has given her a reputation as a Frost Queen, and the fact that she does nothing to improve her reputation in this regard gives people the impression that she thinks she's better than them, or that she really enjoys the status of being yakuza. The truth, however, is that anyone who gets too close to her might simply end up being pulled into her world, and that's the last thing she wants for her classmates. The overprotective nature of her father has also meant that anyone he deems to be a dangerous influence on her is immediately removed - either by eviction or less savoury means.

If anyone really got to know her, however, all of that would change. Jun is scary, but only because she inherited her father's protective nature. Anyone she comes to respect and care for will find a steadfast and loyal friend who always has their backs - especially in a fight.

She is also scary because of how shamelessly skilled she is at charming women in clubs or (her guilty pleasure) the staff at the maid café she frequents, Kawaii Kohi. She is unrestrained when in party mode despite being a minor. The only thing she refrains from is drugs, and even then only the hard, addictive stuff. If one offers her some pot, she's more than willing to try it.

Equipment/Skills:
Weapon - A Masamune katana. It technically meant to be on display in her home, but in Jun's words "There is nothing more pitiful than caged dragon."
Armour - Depending on whether she has time to change, the female school uniform or her suit.
Accessories - A necklace with a silver dragon coil around a piece of photoluminescent jade that glows in the dark.

Kendo - This goes without saying, but her father insisted that she learn how to wield a sword since he had no other heirs and wants her to inherit his position. She is trained by a private instructor and though she wants desperately to join the kendo club and actually practice with her peers, she reluctantly admits that if her father got wind one of them landed a blow and injured her, there would be hell to pay.

Aikido - Well, obviously a young girl walking around with a katana is too conspicuous, so Jun was also taught Aikido to defend herself.

Background:

Jun's entire family history could probably be traced to the Yakuza as far as she is concerned, or recalls. Her mother was a hostess who ended up the mistress of her father. For most of her childhood, this wasn't hidden from her, not that it could. Her mother's reputation preceded them everywhere they went. Jun was ostracized by the neighbourhood kids, but they never did anything more than hurl insults. Presumably because their parents were afraid of the consequences.

As long as her father's world left her alone, she was content to assume it didn't exist. When his wife could not bear him any heirs, however, he saw Jun as his only chance left of securing a successor that was directly related to him by blood. So began her years of training in etiquette and kendo, in asserting her authority. She was tasked with running her household's finances with her mother, in preparation for managing territory.

She hated every moment of it. She knew what happened to daughters of yakuza. If her father became indebted to another gang, she would be offered as "goodwill". At best, she would be married off to another influential member of the underworld to seal an alliance or merge two families. The only problem was that she wasn't interested in men.

The first time her father got wind of her sleeping with a girl, he was furious. The girl's family suddenly received an eviction notice and had their store burnt down. Though he did not claim responsibility, the warning was clear to Jun - anyone her father deemed to be a disgrace upon the family would be removed. That list included any girl Jun deigned to have a relationship with.

So she moved away, transferred schools and was relocated somewhere nobody knew of her inclinations or what had happened with her previous girlfriend. Her lessons in succession continued, but Jun knew that she would never be free to live her life as long as she was just a daughter of the yakuza.

Persona: Mordred
Appearance:



Abilities:

Mudoon
Blade of Fury
Strong against Physical
Rebellion

Name: Gen Itoshi
Gender: Male
Age: 15


Arcana: Hierophant

Personality: In a word: clumsy. In more than a word: Gen is not ill-intended, but everything he attempts to do does not seem to go the way he intends it to. And that is an understatement. That is why many people deny wanting his help when they need it, unless it is absolutely necessary, and even then they would be reticent. He likes to help, but mainly he likes to feel needed and that he is not the odd one out. He seems quite easy to talk to and a very cheerful person, and likes to throw sayings out of the blue which can sometimes be eerily appropriate, while still hiding the memory that torments him at night.

Equipment/Skills:

• Weapon: Naginata
• Skills: Surprisingly vast vocabulary and equally-surprising cooking

Background: Gen was born to a family of teachers, which meant that a lot was expected of him, academically speaking. Since kindergarten, he had to spend many hours sitting in front of a book and study so that his parents were satisfied when his report card would come. That was no easy task, for Gen could not simply memorize everything his parents wanted him to. He would get nervous when tests came and he would barely pass, and later he would get scolded for not meeting their expectations. His punishments, then, was to study everything again until he knew it by heart.

Until an accident occurred.

One day after dinner, they were robbed in their own house. Two hooded men forced the door open and seized them, pointing them with guns and ordering them around. Gen was utterly scared, and so were his parents. What was worse was that Gen could not move; the men would yell at him and his parents would beckon him to go where they were, but Gen was so frightened that his body would not react to them. One of the men pointed him with his gun, and pulled the trigger.

Gen did not die from that shot because his father received the bullet instead. His mother cried, and then the man realized what he has done and ran away, his partner carrying everything they had robbed. Gen had the man’s hooded face ingrained in his mind, but he still did not move. His mother hugged him and his father’s corpse lied on the floor before them.

From thereon, Gen could not concentrate at all, and his mother did not push him. He had nightmares with the robber’s face, and a gun pointing its muzzle at him. He was sent to therapy, and he still does, and started to develop a sort of clumsiness that he had not had before.

Appearance:



Name:
Masahide Saji
Gender:
Male
Age:
17

Personality:
Though coming off as a bit of a loner, and seeming adverse to conversation, Masahide is fairly well known about the social circles. An excellent student- with grades to match, an excellent study under the kendo club, and has been known to volunteer for community work around the area. However, it’s not enough… Or at least to Masahide. Striving for prefection to the point of nearly tearing himself to pieces, the young boy barely has any time to enjoy his own life. It’s for this very reason that he seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, ‘If only I were better,’ a reoccurring thought in his own head. It’s because of this that people have seen him passed out during lunch hours at school, or seeming shaken and ill fed. But what would you expect? The pursuit of perfection is a long and excruciating process… Though less than fruitful. He’ll never achieve perfection, but he’ll never accept it… In the end though, something has to give. And at this point, it’s looking to be the boy.

Equipment/Skills:

Uniform: Masahide takes great pride in his school and studies, wearing his uniform fairly consistently. However, it’s not uncommon for him to dress in a rather dark ensemble on off days or when out with friends… If he had any.

Wakizashi: An heirloom of his family, this masterfully made blade bears a significant importance to his family. It is for this reason that Masahide covets it, training with it hours after school before washing up and heading for whatever activities he has planned.

Deductive Reasoning: Always the analytical one, if the pieces are laid out before him- odds are he’ll solve whatever the puzzle may be. Though it’ll take a couple failures (of which he’ll hold over his own head), it’s only a matter of time before the solution is in place.

Zealous: You get Masa to swear to a purpose, nothing will stop him. Even if it’s simply studying up for a test, or squaring off against someone, he won’t back down. The task will definitely take it’s toll, and will ultimately consume him if not achieved, but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t try.

Background:

Born to a wealthy industrial family, Masahide would want for nothing. Whatever his heart desired, his parents allotted him. However, over time- this became dull. What worth were these things? Merely baubles and trinkets of his vanity and greed. It was shortly after that realization that he began to strive to make a name for himself. First, it was cleaning the house while his father was out, then it became excelling at school, and then a physical training regime. Then suddenly, the house wasn’t enough, he’d seek to assist at shelters and shrines, anything he could do to keep himself busy and making a contribution. However, when his father was diagnosed with heart complications and forced to retire, this merely kicked Masahide into overdrive. Now taking up odd jobs to make up for the lack of income (though it wasn’t needed) and going without on pretty much everything, Masa would become an asset to his family. When his father ultimately passed away, many feared the grief would kill the frantic boy. Instead, it had the opposite effect, it mellowed him out. He saw what the years of strain did to his father, so he dialed back his efforts… However, he still spreads himself much too thin. Though he’s trying to accept the fact there are things beyond his control, to this day, Masahide Saji will never stop striving for perfection. Even if it kills him.

Persona:

Tyr-

Known as the Norse god of war, Tyr was considered one of the wisest and most courageous sons of the All-father, Odin. No clearer was this evident then the binding of Fenrir. The mighty wolf was the harbinger of the Ragnarok, or so the gods foresaw, and they attempted to bind the massive wolf. Every time, Fenrir broke free and grew wiser to his own strength. In a final act, the gods had dwarves craft a 'ribbon' that was strong enough to bind the wolf, yet would not openly display this prowess. Having grown wise to their schemes, Fenrir offered to wear the ribbon if one of the god's placed their hand in his mouth. Tyr volunteered. Though he lost a hand in exchange, it kept the wolf from being able to fulfill his purpose. Disaster averted- Tyr continued to retain his mantle, even if it costed him one of his hands.

Gender: Male
Age: 15
Appearance:

Standing at 5'6 and weighing about 145 pounds, he has lean, athletic frame. When speaking he has a soft and smoky voice.
Arcana: sun

Personality: He is by nature a kind a peaceable person. Yet at the same time, he is not afraid of fighting to defend himself, or those he calls his friends. It wouldn't hard to see him as the protective type. He noted for never saying anything more than he has to. Partly because he's shy and partly because of the bullying.

Rikimaru is two different people at home and in the public. At home he is an outgoing and loving person. In public he is quite and he does his level best to never show that anything ever bothers him.

Rikimaru looks intimidating and older than he is and he knows it. While at heart he is a big softy. That won't keep from using that intimidation to his advantage. If only that would have worked where used to live.
Iff there is one thing he does care about more than training and his family. Its playing the guitar. A product of spending so much time alone when he was younger.

Rikimaru for faults,has a need to do the right thing. Something his parents taught him when he was a small child. Even he wants nothing to do the with situation, Rikimaru will do what he thinks is the right thing, even if it gets him into trouble.

Equipment/Skills:

Weapons:
Battle Axe Gutiar.


School uniform. While he doesn't really care for the uniform, he does try to take care of it. Often wearing it with his sleeves rolled up or as casual as he can.

Weekend/off days attire:


Highly skilled in hand to hand combat and some weapons.

Able to speak both Japanese and English fluently.

More than decent player of flamenco guitar and a few other styles.

Background: Born to two American parents in the military, he carries a distinctly white appearance. He borrows greatly from his fathers genetic line in terms if his looks. It was his mother that gave him is his once cheerful disposition and name. His father an American from South Carolina. His mother was born in Japan but was moved to America when she was but a baby.

Born and raised in Okinawa's Kadena Air Base. The American Air Force Base. It wasn't until he was in his teens that he figured out he had been living in two different worlds. An American world on base, and the Japanese world just out side the walls of the base.

Behaviorally he is almost a perfect mesh of his parents. A gruff almost angry exterior the covers a very soft inside. His father's American gruffness and his mothers soft heart. He is much a guy and doesn't make much apologise for it.

When he was a boy, Rikimaru got beaten up for the first time by some bullies. His Father with a mind that this wouldn't happened again, enrolled him martial arts classes. Rikimaru took to them like a duck to water. He was a natural and loved every second of it. As time progressed, the styles became more and more brutal. It wasn't until he came to learn the ways of an art barely known that he truly excelled. "The dragon of many faces." A very brutal style that allowed him to fight more than one person at a time.

As he got better the bullies started to leave him alone but they were always there, always looking for a reason or a means to get away with picking on Rikimaru. As a result he never really had many friends. During this lonesome time, he learned to play his fathers old guitar. He picked up pretty quick, it was a comfort that was he better at something other than fighting.

It wasn't until his parents still members of the U.S military were called to Afghanistan. Not wanting to remove their child from highschool and knowing that Afghanistan was no place for child they left Rikimaru in the care of some close friends and neighbors.

The neighbor thing didn't exactly plan out very as a few weeks later Rikimaru was jumped by a gang. It took every bit of them to beat him into submission. Rikimaru saw a poor child being humiliated and what he could to stop them. It was a nasty fight that left him much worse for wear. He was a very good fighter but there is only so much one person can do when the odds are so stacked against you.

It took him awhile to get over what had happened, Still training as much as could but always alone.  He finished the school year at home. He wasn't safe there and he knew it. On the bright side, he had plenty of time to play the guitar and train.

After a while his parents moved him into an apartment above a Ramen Bar that was owned by Rikimaru's aunt and uncle in Warakuma. Most people thought he was crazy or the like for the lack of talking or emoting on public.

but it was still better than everyone giving him those pitiful looks. Those looks hurt more than anything. Still a fresh start in a new place should be perfect for him. For the first time in such a long time he was excited to go to school.

Persona:

Name: Arisu Nico-Palmer
Gender: F
Age: 17
Appearance:


Arcana: Justice
Personality: Arisu is one of those people who embody the antithesis of the concept of not judging a book by it's cover. She's a tall, boisterous, loud, smoking, punk looking girl-- and that's exactly what she is. Arisu is a punk, open to any fights that may find her (or any fight she may start) and regularly plays devil's advocate in conversations. She has an odd way of showing it-- but she has a fairly strict moral code that places fairness above all else. Sure, she parties, drinks, has at least tried every drug in the book once, and regularly scraps with people-- but in her mind, none of that is unfair to anyone. To Arisu, someone being done dirty is the worst possible thing that can happen-- not being someone who cheats others is the fastest way to this cursing, drunken delinquent's heart.
Equipment/Skills:

Weapon; Fists of Fury
Armor; Lucky Down Jacket
Shoes; Steel-toed boots
Accessory; Lollipop
Casual attire; Lucky Down Jacket
Skills; She's gotten pretty good at hand-to-hand combat, dirty tactics, street fighting and the like. Definitely not a match for a trained professional, she is a force to be reckoned with, she'd got a lot of anger to work through. Otherwise, she's pretty knowledgeable in local on-goings and such.

Background (quick): Born to an American father and a Japanese mother on a military base, Arisu has kind of ping-ponged from American cities and Japanese cities her whole life. This gives her a unique view of the world that some may never truly attain. She's never been one for school, but the fact that she moves so often gives her an inflated sense of courage-- it doesn't matter what she does, she'll be gone in a few months anyway-- she easily adapts to new cultures and finds new friends.

Gender: Female
Age: 16


Personality: Kyou is a very flawed person. Due to her poor upbringing, and the stuff she's seen around her previous year at Kibopiko, she's very cynical. She's quick to denounce any sort of charity or generosity as stupid manipulation, and rarely takes chances on new people. As much as she puts on a loner facade, she really does want friends, she just feels like no one in her new school can really relate.

After facing her shadow, Kyou is truly trying to become more sociable and trusting. Although old habits die hard she will be more willing to do things for others. She's also trying to let go of her past at Kibopiko, and get to know Warakuma better.
Equipment/Skills

• Weapon: Folding Chair
• Armor: Kibopiko Jacket
• Accesory: Brown Hairclip
• Skills: Excellent constitution, decent stamina, as well as a good cook.

Background: Kyou's life has been fairly standard, if a bit below average. Although their standard of living was definitely lower class, both parents were loving and, even if they couldn't always make it home for dinner, most of the time they brought something home. Occasionally Kyou had to cook, which she displayed a knack for. Her school was a bit bad. Nothing major, she got in fights rarely but not much more than the average student. She had a few close friends who would hang out every now and then. Her first year of highschool sticks in her mind as a hard place where people backstabbed eachother and fights were often. While this isn't untrue, this has left her with a certain jadedness.

After that, the family moved to Warakuma since a relative had died and written most of their possessions to Kyou's mother. A better house, a new school, and even an allowance, something she had never had before, all sent Kyou reeling. Though she has yet join any clubs or make any real friends, it seems soon that may change...

Name: Katsuro Takuma
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Appearance:



Arcana: Justice

Personality: Katsuro is...quiet. Really quiet. He can go entire days without saying a single word out loud and, obviously, this hasnt earned him any friends. This is partially due to shyness and fear of getting hurt, but mostly because he does not understand many of the things that normal people do. He has a completely logical outlook towards any situation, and often has a bad habit of expecting everyone else to act the same way, which can lead to him getting extremely angry and frustrated at everyone around him.

Despite this, he will never run from a fight or confrontation, and will also show absolutely no quarter if someone innocent is being hurt. This can range from a fight with his persona, to a simple attempted mugging. This complex stems from his desire to prevent anything like his...accident, from happening again.

Equipment/Skills: As far as weaponry goes, he doesn't carry anything, although he knows basic self defense skills. He is quite unfit though, so don't expect him to beat down much tougher opponents.
He is also very gifted academically, thanks to all the tutors he was taught by in his youth. He is also capable of thinking up complex plans and tactics in a fight, if he needs to. Unfortunately, his dislike for staying out of a fight can lead to him being in the thick of the action, when he would be much better suited on the sidelines making plans and helping the others.
As far as armor goes, he usually wears a school uniform in school and a orange hood out of it, mostly to hide his damaged face. He also quite likes wearing suits, although he hates it when they get dirty. In any outfit, he wears a white patch over his missing eye.

Background: Katsuro was born to a high up executive of an extremely large property development company in Tokyo. His father divorced his mother shortly after he was born, and, after a while, Katsuro found out why.

His mother was extremely domineering and emotionally abusive, treating her son like a glorified pet, forcing him to dress, act and even speak exactly how she wanted at all times. He grew up with tutors and never knew the company of other children, save only the children of the other company executives, which he met every now and then at gatherings. She wanted him to follow in her footsteps in business and drilled into his head that he needed to be pragmatic with dealing with other people, being careful never to rely on anyone too much and seeing opportunities wherever he could. This, coupled with his education, wealth and (he thought) good looks, caused a feeling of superiority over others.

When he was fourteen, he went with his mother to a building in the middle of construction. Despite his fear of her, he was able to slip away and decided to take a look around. After all, he would have to know about stuff like this. As this happened, a fire broke out on the second floor and the executives nearby were all evacuated. Katsuro didn't notice this until it was too late, and the fire lit a gas tank, causing an explosion that knocked him out.

He woke up two months later in a hospital bed. The explosion and fire had damaged several of his fingers, burned part of his face and most of his torso permanently and, worst of all, a splinter had taken out his left eye. This pushed his already fragile mental state over the edge, and he completely closed himself to the world.

Soon, the truth came out. The company had been losing a great deal of money in bad deals lately and several of the executives had been getting nervous. Therefore, his mother and a few others had paid some criminals to set fire to the building in order to claim insurance. Unfortunately for them, the police began to get suspicious and several of the plotters were arrested.

Katsuro was still in the hospital when this happened, but it couldn't have been more welcome. This news was all he needed to get out of his depression, and he announced that he would be testifying against his mother and the other executives.

After a long and fairly sensational trial, they were sent to prison for twelve years apiece. Katsuro found himself moved between relatives, including his father (whom Katsuro ended their relationship before it even started again by breaking his nose), until, finally, he was taken in by a cousin on his father's side in Warakuma.

Name: Samuru Amakusa

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Appearance:



Arcana: Hierophant

Personality: Samuru is a person of contradictions. A bisexual who still believes in the Christian God, follows heretics and freethinkers yet rejects their more destructive causes, Samuru tries to find reasons behind people's actions so that he can empathize without endorsing. While only average in intelligence, Samuru knows this basic point; that those who do 'evil' actions do so because of reasons that make sense to them, not because they are naturally evil and destructive. And so he realizes these facts about himself.

That one, he is vulnerable to those who offer him love and friendship, and would gladly do what they say in exchange for those things. Because he realizes this, he can assess whether these offers are genuine.

Two, that he is not immune to envy of those smarter and richer and better than him, and that this envy can interfere with his' sense of whether an offer from those kinds of people had been made sincerely; he had been hurt before.

Three, that Samuru is afraid of being incompetent and weak, and he knows it. And so, he is afraid that he might be offered love and friendship only for people to prey on him.

And, four, the fact that being self-aware has limits, and that there will be things he is not good at, meaning that, one day, he'll have to ask someone for help, or accept an offer that he hadn't analyzed fully...

Equipment/Skills:

- Anything an Ordinary High Schooler can do or have.
- History
- Theology from books and Internet.
- Poleaxes/Halberds, with a specialization in the Chinese Monk Spade.

Background: Born to a Christian Family in Nagasaki, Samuru isn't actually related to the historical Shiro Amakusa; his family took his name after the Meiji Restoration and the re-legalization of Christianity. A kind, compassionate boy, Samuru nevertheless came to conflict with his faith when he realized that he was attracted to men as well as women at a young age, but managed to conceal it, and in the end, decided to do his own reading of religious texts and the development of theology through the times. He also read the texts of other religions, as well as books about their historical development. And he realized this; that the most successful Religions can both maintain continuity and yet change. What would have been abborhent in one era became accepted doctrine in another, and the process by which this happened can be tracked.

But seriously, he's Bi, still Christian, and his way of finding a balance between those traits has forced him to think seriously about how said balance can be maintained, and study his history and theology harder in order to realize that life is full of contradictions, and that reconciling contradictions is part of life.

Background:
Sayaka was a tough little kid. Tough, but not particularly strong. Able to endure a lot, but not retaliate very well, Sayaka became a common target for bullies. Her parents considered teaching her self-defense, but because of their indecision her grandfather took her boxing, which she enjoyed a lot--but the other kids did not. Soon able to fend off the bullies, (for which she got into plenty of trouble afterwards, but that's a different story) Sayaka had a mostly normal school life after that.

From middle school onward, she's been in the boxing club, where she's respected for her skill, though not entirely appreciated for her cruel idealogy. Recently she has joined the drama club as well, as of yet she mostly just helps with carrying stuff. She can occasionally be seen at the riverside doing sporty things or relaxing at Star Drop Cafe.

Name: Kanna Watanabe
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Arcana: Star

Personality: Kanna is seemingly cynical due to how he behaves, but it would be better to describe him as a realist. He is quite skeptical and tends to worry more than the other Persona user about, albeit sometimes silly, things, but his worries are often very justified and understandable. He is a logical and smart person, often annoyed by the idea of not being able to understand someone or something at all. He tends to be quite serious, but he does joke around occasionally, even bouncing off the walls in joy if stimulated enough, and often goes along with his friend’s eccentric hobbies. Kanna can be snarky towards others in his thoughts and he can be blunt at times, though he means well and he's more frank than sarcastic or mean-spirited. Though sometimes a bit submissive, he is not afraid to speak his mind. He is sometimes even a bit short-tempered and can snap at others, especially when he is tired or under pressure. Still, Kanna is generally pleasant and easily exhibits kindness and hopefulness to others around him; he genuinely cares about everyone. Although he may have trouble understanding or relating to others after he lost his twin, he is tolerant of everyone's eccentric personalities and quirks and is always willing to listen and give advice. Though he tries to hide it, Kanna is very insecure about his lack of 'talent' compared to his twin and it bothers him deeply. This caused him to admire the other Persona users more than anything, as he believed that being with them would fix his problem. He wished to be part of something bigger than himself, to become more confident and someone he can be proud of.
