[center][b]Name[/b] Naoki Sora [b]Age[/b] 18 [b]Appearance[/b] Naoki has jet black hair, its length bordering on what most would consider long. She usually keeps her hair in check by tying it up into a ponytail, having it float right above her shoulders. She’s got hazel eyes and is a little taller than an average female, being a bit bigger than Kaito. Naoki wears a Kuriboh pin on her dorm uniform, given to her by Kou as a good luck charm. She has a few other mementos given by other friends of hers in the dorm, some of which she keeps in her room and others she lets hang off her bag. [b]Personality[/b] Naoki is generally a nice person, as she’s always helping people out in any way she can. Contrary to what you’d expect of a collector, Naoki’s pretty charitable and doesn’t mind giving her friends some cards in her collection if it would help them out. She’ll couple it with some advice, of course, wanting people to improve and better themselves. She isn’t worried about the cards she gives out, even if it’s one of her last ones, as she believes that with enough hard work she can get all of them back and their new owner would make better use of them anyway. Naoki dislikes when people fight with each other, especially if they’re normally friends or in the same class as each other. Naoki always tries her best to break up any fight she witnesses, reconciling and helping the two parties to be better friends with each other. Most of the friends Naoki makes in life are through her helping people out like this, though her naïvete and blind optimism makes her a little too trusting of others. [b]Dorm[/b] Xyz [b]History[/b] Naoki was an avid card collector, even before her academy days. She enjoyed using her collection to her advantage, using a large variety of cards to change up her strategy whenever she wanted to. One day, however, she found a certain card: [b][Number 78: Number Archive][/b]. This card piqued her curiosity, leading to her to research these Number cards. When she found out there were 100 of them, it convinced her to try and collect them all. As time went on, however, strange things started happening. As Naoki’s collection of Numbers grew, she felt a pain course through her. A constant, unrelenting pain that would grow slightly more intense with each new Number cards. Eventually, voices started talking to Naoki inside of her head. The voice told her that the pain would subside if she collected them all. The girl, not knowing any better, decided to trust the voice and continued to collect Number cards. The pain has grown quite intense, causing her to have to make slow and careful movements.

He’s a friendly, gentle person who will try and help out people as much as he can while also being extremely diligent with his studies. He’s Naoki’s best friend and primary encourager, always helping her out when she needs it and rushing to her side if he catches a whiff of something happening to her. Ren is a bit of a doormat when you pile the pressure on him, though. He’ll apologise if he’s hurt you badly through words or actions, because he always means well. [b]Appearance:[/b] Ren is a fairly tall individual, looming over most other Xyz dorm students. He has long, crimson hair falling all the way down to halfway his back. He wears a smile most of the time, though it can sometimes feel a little forced. He also seems oddly buff underneath his uniform, though this is because Ren chooses to wear two uniforms, one over the other [b]Deck:[/b] Raid Raptors[/hider] [hider=Kaito Nonaka] Kaito’s a very polite, gentle person. He doesn’t raise his voice in a lot of situations and has the coolest head of the group, carefully thinking everything over before making a decision. He’s very distrustive of Ren as he sees the boy as nothing but trouble, especially for Naoki. Him and Ren never get along on anything, and Kaito’s managed to convince both Sana and Kou that they shouldn’t hang around Ren too much. Kaito is also one of the only people in the Xyz dorm to break convention and use a Pendulum deck instead of an Xyz one, since he didn’t want to change up his playing style just to conform to some stereotype of the dorm he was placed in. [b]Appearance:[/b] The most noticeable thing about Kaito is that his eyes are heterochromatic, with the right being red and the left being green. He makes no effort to hide it, either. His hair is noticeably dyed black and spikes off to all sides. He refuses to wear his uniform, too and instead goes around in a teal jacket with a black shirt to match. As a compromise, though, he wears a brace around his right arm with his dorm emblem on it. [b]Deck:[/b] Dragons & Pendulum[/hider] [hider=Sana Doji] Sana is an animal lover at heart. She absolutely refused to come to Harmonia without her trusty pets; A husky named Swain and a cockatoo named Beatrice. The both of them don’t just get along with their owner, though, as Beatrice will playfully ride on Swain’s back whenever the latter isn’t excitedly chasing their owner around. Sana also strongly believes you don’t need to be tied down to one series of cards to do well, preferring to use a whole variety of them to represent her love for animals. She’s as carefree as a bird, though she knows when to stop goofing around and get serious for a moment. She won’t tolerate it when people pick on her friends, and is probably the most protective of the group. [b]Appearance:[/b] Sana’s got short, vividly colored yellowish blonde hair with a small dog hair clip to keep the longer parts from falling in front of her face... She isn’t too much of a tomboy, though, as she makes no effort to dress herself outside of the norm. Her height and chest are both pretty average, so she doesn’t stand out too much. [b]Deck:[/b] Generic (winged) Beast(-warrior) Xyz[/hider] [hider=Kou Sentou] Kou is presumed to be the weakest member of the group due to rank his, but the truth is actually that he doesn't care too much about being the best. Kou would rather have his friends stay near the top while he serves as the vanguard of the xyz group, acting as their shield and guardian. He’s a very stubborn individual, refusing to give up in any given situation and you’d be hard-pressed to get through him. Even outside of the academy’s ranking system, he’ll always sacrifice himself first before anyone else could in a situation where someone is picking on one of his other friends. He’s very resilient when it comes to dueling, taking pride in a more defensive style within in his deck [b]Appearance:[/b] Kou has a friendly, unassuming look to him. His face gives off a mellow and relaxed feeling while his medium length, chestnut brown hair casually hangs around his head. Kou never goes anywhere in the academy without his Duel Disk, always having it on his wrist. His backpack is also very distinct as a ton of little Duel Monsters pins are attached on it, showing the guy’s love for the little creatures. [b]Deck:[/b] Bujin [/hider] [/hider] [/center]
