Name: Zane 'Lone' Wulfe



Age: 17

School Year: Junior

Personality: Zane is a battle junkie, not helped by deliquents around Akemishi possessing an inability to learn from getting beaten down. He tends to be a slight smartarse in general, going by the logic that an angry oppenent is more likely to make mistakes. Having few friends, he is naturally protective of them.

History: Moving from England to Japan at the young age of five, Zane has been regarded as an outcast for most of his life. His only solace was in kenjutsu. Learning from an old man who insisted on being called Master Shi, his happiest memories were of that time. Sadly, his father passed away and his mother moved them to Akenmishi. Initially he tried joining a local kendo club, but it was too... clean. Instead he took to practicing on his own, focusing on the kata his sensei beat into him.
It was barely a month after he got there when some punks tried attacking him. In their minds it was an easy target, a forigner and a loner. Unfortunately for them, Zane had his practice blade on him. In barely a minute four guys were laid out with vicious percision, and Zane's heart was pumping. This was what he had been missing, the thrill of battle.
At the start of the new school year, he already had a reputation as the Lone Wulfe, a delinquent who had apparently taken down Yakuza. Not that he cared, he fought for the love of fighting, not anything particularly deep.

Persona: Cú Chulainn


Persona Lore: {Taken from Wikipedia}
Born Sétanta, he gained his better-known name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence and offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared. At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the famous Táin Bó Cúailnge ("Cattle Raid of Cooley"). It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but his life would be a short one. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy, or ríastrad[6] (translated by Thomas Kinsella as "warp spasm"[7] and by Ciarán Carson as "torque"),[8] in which he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe. He fights from his chariot, driven by his loyal charioteer Láeg and drawn by his horses, Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend. In more modern times, Cú Chulainn is often referred to as the "Hound of Ulster".

Persona Spells:

Name: Nakayama Shiki
Appearance:

Age: 16
School Year: Sophmore
Personality: Shiki has an extremely introverted and obsessive personality, with an unhealthy dose of paranoia thrown in for good measure. He rarely talks without a good reason and will go to extreme lengths in order to avoid confrontation - bullying from some of his seniors do not help in this regard. This insecurity was initially caused by trauma in his childhood, which also caused his fear of women.

Without a close circle of friends, Shiki resorted to looking for hobbies that would distract him from the loneliness - at 8 he discovered the world of bodybuilding, and he now pours the vast majority of his free time into pursuing physical perfection. While resting, he enjoys studying the occult and researching conspiracy theories, which was a major factor for him not getting an ALT when he and his father moved to Arekishi.

While very reclusive and scared of interacting with others, Shiki is much more outgoing and expressive when speaking about his narrow interests - he can speak for hours on end about the different meal plans he has been on, the evidence of aliens controlling the Japanese Government, and the symbolic power of lamb blood. He gathers most of his information from online image boards and forums, which is also where he has most of his social interaction - leading to him occasionally speaking in odd portmanteaus or saying completely unrelated and odd phrases in response to certain statements or actions. He gets extremely defensive when pressed about this.

Shiki dreams of growing stronger and wants to be the best version of himself as possible. Whether this is out of immense insecurity and a poor attempt to improve his social life, or a genuine desire to overcome his vast number of fears, is anyones guess.

History: Born to a wealthy family in the heart of Tokyo, Shiki never managed to develop a good reputation with his peers - whether because he snitched on them to teachers or because he was scared of nearly everything, Shiki spent most of his childhood isolated and limited to adults for his social interactions. His teachers were generally supportive but didn't provide a good enough substitute for real social interaction. As a result, Shiki rapidly grew more and more reclusive, to the point where he would have dropped out of middle school if not for his father's constant insistence on the subject. His father supported the family mostly from his dealings as a translator for a Japanese company, while his mother stayed at home.

In his second year of Middle school, Shiki's mother cheated on his father, and their son caught her in the act. This disturbed Shiki to no end and left a deep emotional scar - one that grew into a fear of relationships and women in general. Shiki's father attempted to move on after that, completely leaving cities after winning custody of Shiki - the pair lived in a new home in Akemishi's Hana District, specifically for the education opportunities that it would provide Shiki.

With the advent of the ALT, Shiki's father quickly grew stressed in his attempts to support his son - it was only due to his long history with his company that he wasn't fired outright, and was instead given a position overseas, with only a moderate decrease in pay. Still, this further shook Shiki's expectations for his future, with college becoming uncertain. It was his final year of middle school that had him fully engross himself into his hobbies, where he had once only been obsessive - weightlifting dominated his every waking moment, and the time he spent recovering he researched vague, occultic texts and conspiracy theories online. The latter was done due to boredom and a need for entertainment at first, but Shiki rapidly grew to believe every word he read, leading to a very warped view of the city he lived in, as well as the ALT itself. Shiki never had one installed, in fear of numerous different consequences - ranging from mind control from the government to constant monitoring from some secret organization.

Shiki was lucky his father made sure to teach him English at a young age, as he would struggle greatly to continue living in Akemishi without fluency in the language or an ALT. In his free time researching the occult, he also picked up a basic proficiency in Hebrew and Latin, but not enough to be of any practical use. His lack of ALT made him briefly consider finding and joining The Sounders, but he quickly gave this up since he was afraid they would assault him even if he didn't have an ALT.

Currently, while not a member of any sports clubs, Shiki can usually be found in the school's gymnasium and weight room, and when pressed, usually will help in anything that he is asked to do. Some of his upperclassman in the basketball club use this as a way to bully him into cleaning up for them after practice, or even getting Shiki to buy them food.

Persona: Ulikummi


Persona Lore: Ulikummi is a deaf and blind demigod of Hurrian Mythology. Born to dethrone the weather god Teshub, the stone giant was placed on the shoulder of the world-bearer Upelluri, and rapidly grew to the heavens. Teshub's thunder did little to the demigod, and it was only after seeking help from the god Ea that Teshub managed to stop Ulikummi's growth. The fate of the demigod is unknown.

Persona Spells:

Age: 18

School Year: Senior

Personality: Erin is not the kindest individual you'll ever come across, but she is polite and tactful until given reason not to. Logical, calculating and not one to engage in idle chitchat, she speaks bluntly and formally, with little regard given to feelings or sentiments - though she can certainly pretend otherwise if needed. Manipulative and cunning, she isn't above using dirty tactics to get her way, either. With that said, her pride does prevent her from groveling in front of anyone, even if it would be useful for her. It also makes her come across as condescending, seemingly talking down to people even when it wasn't deliberate.

While she's calm and collected most of the time, she does have a tendency to carry grudges and become spiteful if her will isn't heeded or she's directly challenged. She doesn't yell even when crossed, but the sharpness of her tongue makes it clear enough when a line has been crossed. Ambitious to a fault, she hates the idea of following someone else's lead in matters where she believes she'd make a more suitable leader. At the same time, she is fully capable of recognizing and respecting talent and intellect around her, particularly in topics she's not well-versed in herself. She has no patience for idiocy or people she considers stupid.

History: The marriage of Eloise Belleau and Alexandre Chauvet was more a mutually beneficial arrangement than a vow made out of love, but it lasted for nearly two decades and spawned a successful family business, so neither side truly minded. Joseline was born in Paris at the height of the couple's success, and being an only child, it was expected that she would one day inherit the leadership of the company. Her opinion on the matter was never asked, nor did she think to offer it. From a very young age, she learnt to view her eventual takeover as something natural and inevitable - much like sunrise every morning.

Joseline was home-schooled, with particular emphasis put on topics related to business endeavours. As a child, she found the topics dull and her teacher duller, only sitting through her classes because she did not think she had a choice. Homework was abundant and her time to play outside limited, in both quality and quantity. She was not allowed to play with just anyone, and was rarely allowed outside alone.

The older she got, though, the less she minded her lifestyle and the more appealing her future position as a rich businesswoman sounded. The value of money became more apparent, as did the difference between her and the so-called 'poor folk'. Whether it was a natural development in her personality or the result of years of indoctrination, none could say, and she certainly didn't care either way. Regardless, she started to gain an interest in the family business, and the once-boring classes soon turned out to be something she thoroughly enjoyed. Ambition was in her blood, after all - or that's what her parents said, proud of her dedication.

Come time for high school, Joseline's parents decided to forgo home schooling in favor of improving her social skills and cultural knowledge. On her second year, Joseline went on exchange to North America - and it was while there that her life changed forever. Unbeknownst to her, both the family business and her parents' marriage had been going downhill as of late, until Alexandre and Eloise could no longer bear the though of each other. They divorced swiftly and professionally, with Joseline's father buying her mother out of the company; a deal that Eloise agreed to much more readily than Joseline. She had dedicated her entire life to this company, she was not about to leave it behind over her parents' whims.

Unfortunately, being underage and unable to live on her own, she had little choice. Though her father would've readily employed her after her graduation, with perhaps the chance of one day rising to the top, Eloise had other plans. By the time Joseline's exchange year was over, her mother had already begun arrangements to move to Japan, where she'd found the new 'love of her life'; another multimillionaire with a successful company. And so, Joseline never did return to France; she found herself sitting in a plane to the other side of the world, frustrated yet hopeful. Perhaps she could put her skills to use in her adoptive father's company. Supposedly, it was even more successful than her father's had been.

That hope soon died out. As it turned out, Mr. Yamahiro Kawasaki already had an heir for his company in mind; a son by the name of Hirokichi, two years younger than Joseline - or as she now went by, Erin. To make matters worse, the boy was neither suitable nor interested in any sort of business, much less his father's. He was not a bad kid, but he was, in Erin's words, 'dumb as a rock, and twice as quiet.' Shy, meek, and not leader material. Erin could not fathom him taking a position that should be hers. No. She would see to it that she got her due, through any means necessary.

Quite conveniently, it turned out that Hirokichi was not only a fool - he was naive to boot, and made the mistake of trying to be friends with his new sister. That suited Erin quite well; it gave her access to his trust and, by extension, influence over him. If nothing else, she could manipulate his opinions and decisions, essentially making sure her will was done, even if someone else did have to act as her mouthpiece.

And yet, for someone as ambitious as her, ruling from the shadows is the same as not ruling at all - and so, she remains dissatisfied. Perhaps she will figure out a more permanent solution come graduation - provided there aren't any... other surprises to distract her.

Alignment:
- Erin is part of the student council
- Though Joseline is her birth name, she tends to go by "Erin" in Japan, as it's much easier for the locals to pronounce.
