I was thinking of some sort of gym, but decided against it due to Burger's chary having one, but now I think I can justify having one, especially to explain certain abilities; I think I'll replace the Tenoroshi Library with what I originally had, Teru Teru Tiger Gym... maybe I could go with changing the name to Teru Tiger Traceur Gym, as alliteration is always fun.

I also could probably give him a father figure, or lump on some daddy issues instead... maybe that could play a role into the way he is as a person.

But I will say the virtual idol thing did give me an idea. Due to the fact that Marc explores town a lot and can cover a lot of ground, maybe he found a forum that ended up talking about myths, folklore, and urban legends, and ended up finding a user that specifically talked about rumors and events going on that were talked about in horrible detail. Probably started out with him trying to research these events, as well as any popular urban myth or rumor surrounding Tenoroshi before discovering this forum, as well as user, and utilizing it to his advantage.

Though, one main issue I see with this is the fact that Rin exists... so I still might need to brainstorm another npc, but I'll keep this forum user as a backup. Regardless, good luck on your paper.
