Height: 5'2" / 157.5 cm
Weight: 135 lb / 61.235 kg
Build: Pear
Eyes: Amber
Hair: Black

Encouraging * Self-Critical * Friendly * Timid

Sexuality: Undiscovered.
Personality: Yui, on the surface, is a friendly and upbeat girl that never has a bad word to say about anyone and is always happy to lend a hand. She presents herself as generous and kind, and seems to always see the best in others. She frequently participates in group activities, though almost paradoxically she always puts herself on the sidelines and allows others to take the spotlight.

In truth, although she really is a kind and polite girl, Yui suffers from social anxieties and self-doubt. She fears letting others down and dislikes being relied on, and when given praise she will usually respond with an almost dismissive level of humility. Privately she is very critical in her assessments of foods, books, and other such things - but despite receiving better than average grades and having some skill herself, she is far more critical of herself than she is of anyone else.

Your Story Thus Far: Yui is and always has been a seemingly average, normal girl. The daughter of a workaholic salaryman and a traditional housewife, she was an only child growing up. Her parents and extended family were the type to be very, very concerned with appearances, performance, social status and all manner of things - and they made this apparent and very clear to Yui from a young age. This contributed significantly to her social anxieties and phobias, as well as her higher standards and critical thinking skills.

While she did perform above-average in several areas, she spent much of her childhood and school life following the expectations of her family as best she could. Sports were not appropriate for a girl, according to her family, but she was expected to know how to cook - so she avoided sports, and joined the cooking club. Much of her life has otherwise been spent keeping her head down while trying to ensure she doesn't disappoint her family or anyone else.

Name: Amisaki Kyou
Class: Average Human
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Member of: Second Year, Archery Club


Height: 176 cm
Weight: 66 kg
Build: Wiry
Eyes: Light gray
Hair: Light golden brown

Driven * Anxious * Organized * Guarded

Sexuality: Demisexual. Considers himself straight, but not interested at the moment.
Personality:
A withdrawn, quiet introvert, Kyou doesn’t make friends easily – or at all. He has some friendly acquaintances, but beyond his family, there aren’t many people he lets in. He can be a bit passive in social situations, going along with the will of the majority and joining a conversation only if someone else coaxes him into one. His tense posture, dispassionate expression, frowning glare, and sometimes blunt words give him an almost inapproachable aura. Though strangers might occasionally categorize him as a delinquent based on his appearance and anti-social demeanour, those who have known him at least for a while will observe that he’s actually a rather helpful sort of a person – though indirectly. He willingly solves identified problems if he can, and pitches in without being prompted when something needs accomplishing, but he just isn’t the sort of person who could easily offer help verbally.

Kyou has heard classmates describe him as confident, because he doesn’t give easily read clues of being nervous for tests, oral presentations, etc., but he’s actually often anxious – to the point that he’s developed several coping mechanisms that work for him. Acting as an aloof, seemingly disinterested, and non-caring person is one of them. Simple breathing techniques, squeezing his stress-ball, nibbling on his pencil, or fiddling with a nearby small object (e.g. an eraser, his hoodie string, the edges of his sleeves) are a more obvious example of coping, though others may mistake his actions for a simple habit borne out of boredom. Organizing and planning his activities beforehand is one of the best ways Kyou has found to keep his anxiety at bay. Of course, unexpected situations still occur, and when they do, it takes all his will, effort, and experience to keep from being overwhelmed. If he's feeling out of sorts in a social conversation (which isn't that uncommon), he can be rather rude. While he's never actively cruel, he may still inadvertently hurt someone in a moment of stress by snapping at them.
Habits:

• Spinning a pen, pencil, or some other writing implement in between his fingers if one is available when he’s sitting down. Noticeable when he’s studying, writing, drawing, or listening to a lecture in class.
• Fiddling with his stress-ball.
• Staring at a neutral spot and concentrating on his breathing when he wants to calm down.
• He speaks in a monotone when nervous.
• Occasionally nibbles on his pencil, but he’s making an effort to notice and stop himself from doing so.

Hobbies:

• Jogging
• Drawing
• Working out
• Gaming

Fears:

• Getting seriously ill and/or injured
• Worrying his parents
• Missing an important event due to being ill

Likes:

• Spicy food
• Reading
• Learning
• Fresh air and rain
• Stars and stargazing

Dislikes:

• Bullies
• Unnecessarily loud people
• Gossiping, esp. if it’s about himself
• Being anxious, nervous, or afraid
• Having to make direct eye-contact

Attributes

Strength: Average.
Vitality: Weakness.
Mobility: Forte.
Intelligence: Average.
Supernatural: Average.

Skills:

• Meditation
• Drawing
• Archery

Equipment:

• A black face-mask. He gets colds often, so he’s learned to always carry one with him, even when healthy. That he always buys black ones is simply a style choice. The strategy of pulling up his hoodie and putting on a mask also works decently in repelling people from approaching him when he wants to be alone.
• Worn dark-gray stress ball. Helps with nerves and boredom. Always kept in a pocket.
• A leather-bound journal. A gift from his father for his last birthday. Circa a fourth of it is filled with various doodles or drawings already. The rest of the pages are blank.

Your Story Thus Far:
Kyou is the only son of a white-collar worker father and a stay-at-home mother, but though that is an extremely average description, there is the slight deviation of his mother being rather sickly. It isn’t that she has some sort of chronic condition, her immune system is simply too poor for her to realistically be able to keep working. Staying home and keeping to her own schedule is just what’s best for her. As for Kyou, he’s inherited a fair bit of his mother’s constitution, and he gets colds at least twice as often as the average kid. He bruises more easily and his recovery time is always on the long side. As a child, he’s had the bad luck to fall ill on the first day of school or during the testing period or the day of some other important even more than once, a fact that frustrated him immensely. He often preoccupied himself by retreating into an imaginary world and drawing – an activity he’s kept up with to this day. On a memorable occasion, he’s been accused of faking a cold; he remembers that day well because it’s one of the rare times where he lost his temper and even got into a fight (to his own detriment, of course). Ever since discovering that he was considered a “frail child”, he’s been determined to overcome his shitty immune system, all the while grateful that he didn’t have to deal with the likes of, say, leukemia.

Nonetheless, his proneness to getting colds or sprains or bruises was more than a hassle to deal with. Especially his mother was always worried for him, and accompanied him to a doctor more than once. The advised treatment was simply to be especially mindful to keep a balanced diet and to exercise regularly. Perhaps it was her worry that induced his own anxiety, or perhaps it was simply that it wasn’t uncommon for him to be bullied – which was something he avoided telling his parents, and dealt with on his own (by running away, hiding, etc.). Once he embedded himself a bit more into a social group, the bullying became rarer, but his fearfulness remained. And though his mother was averse of Kyou participating in too strenuous or violent of an activity, she did acquiesce to him pursuing certain sports. In elementary school, that was track and field. Since early teen years, Kyou has devoted himself to archery, because it’s an activity that not only requires focus but one that he can focus on single-mindedly, without being distracted by his usual worries or fears. He’s not sure why, and seeing how helpful it is to his mental state, he’s never questioned it. Daily jogging and an attempt to build up some muscle were added a couple of years ago, mainly because he’s long since discovered that appearing weak was a key component of being picked on. Meditation and breathing techniques were something he taught himself with the help of internet, and he’s used this know-how to great effect for the past three years.

Build: Normal
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black

Loyal * Impatient *Honest * Pessimistic

Sexuality: Straight
Personality:

While not a loner or the type to refuse help if he needs it, Hideaki dislikes it when he is completely dependent on someone else. Despite knowing it isn't always possible he wants to have some plan in case something goes wrong so that he has options other than ask someone for help and hope they can/will do something. This had led him to consider all the things he can think off that can go wrong and bringing them during discussion, even if he admits that it is unlikely to happen.

He is a casual gamer and likes to play jrpgs, more often than not in the form of roms since actually buying the games is too expensive. That said if he has come across a game he really likes he will buy it, even though more often he'll have to spend some time saving his money. In fact he always keeps some money in reserve in case he needs it.

Habits:

• He tends to tap his fingers on something when he has to wait with nothing to do.
• Whenever he can't think of something he rubs the area beneath his nose with his right index finger.
• He plays around with his necklace if he is nervous or worried.

• Kendo
• Videogames
• Reading

Hideaki has a fear of heights.

Equipment: A necklace with a sun shaped pendant his grandmother gave him to before she died


Your Story Thus Far:

Thanks to the fact that cellphones with camera's had become much more common the camera shop owned by Hideaki's family didn't do great business. They never exactly went hungry, but Hideaki always wore cheap clothing when not in his highschool uniform and more often than not his birthday and Christmas consisted of not too expensive video equipment his father couldn't sell. Eventually other kids noticed and some of them started bullying him, when his parents found about this they tried to think of something they could do about it.

Not seeing any way to end the bullying and the camera shop struggling even more his mother decided to take up a job during Hideaki's sixth year in elementary school while his grandmother would watch him for a few hours after school each day. The two of them got pretty close but two years later she died. Not wanting to burden his parents too much Hideaki joined the cooking club when he got into high school to learn how to make food himself allowing his mother to keep her job. He never really enjoyed it though and after one year feeling he had learned enough to make do quit and joined the kendo club which he was much more interested in.

Name: Tsuchihana Ren
Class: Average Human
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Member of: Third Year + Track and Field Team


Height: 5'8"/175 cm
Weight: 105 lbs./47.6 kg
Build: Slender
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black

Hardworking * Defensive * Considerate * Distant

Sexuality: Pansexual, but unaware.
Personality: Ren is the kind of guy that will, if nothing else, do the work. He throws himself into work, and never skimps on his chores. He does this because he's scared that if he slows down, if he stops, he might become a version of himself that he doesn't like. To avoid that, not only is he dutiful, but he's also extremely considerate and respectful, simply trying to make people smile instead of frown. His considerate and hardworking natures often make an uncomfortable combination for him, and he is guilty of going out with friends out of obligation, without getting much enjoyment out of it at all.

Luckily for him, despite his kind and caring demeanor, he doesn't make very many friends. While he is always respectful towards others, he is also very distant. Even with friends he's known for a while, he uses formal honorifics when speaking to them. He's frequently told that he's much too stiff, and that even though he's very kind, his issues getting close to people sends mixed messages. However, in the end, he never stops trying to be better.
Habits:

• Apologetic - He apologizes even when he doesn't need to. A lot.
• Moody - Ren has a bad habit of becoming gloomy and self-deprecating when he messes up.

Hobbies:

• Talking walks through the woods
• Gardening

Fears:

• Mild Merinthophobia - Ren can't handle being bound or tied up. Things like handcuffs aren't as bad, but still unpleasant.
• Disappointment - Ren has a rocky history with his family, and is doing his best to not let them down again.
• Abandonment - Due to his father disappearing and never coming back, he's extremely fearful of being left behind.

Likes:

• Nature hikes
• Romance novels/manga
• The countryside
• Early morning runs
• Curry

Dislikes:

• Math
• Rainy days
• Big cities
• Snow
• Cold soup (like Zaru Udon)

Attributes

Strength: Average
Vitality: Average
Mobility: Forte
Intelligence: Weak
Supernatural: Average

Skills:

• Time Management. His job requires him to be good at keeping track of time.
• Efficient Movement. Between the Track and Field team and his job as a waiter, Ren has become proficient at moving quickly and carefully.
• Agriculture. Ren grew up on his grandparents' farm, which has taught him a thing or two.

Equipment: N/A


Your Story Thus Far: Tsuchihana Ren was originally born to moderately wealthy parents. His father managed a hedge fund for an investment company overseas, and his mother was the Vice President of a young but rapidly growing restaurant chain. As an infant up until he was a toddler, he lived in a nice, western-style home not far from Tokyo. He was too young to grasp his privilege, but the truth was he would never want for anything. However, all was not well between the parents, who simply fell out of love with each other. When Ren was five they divorced. He went to live in a new house with his mother, and his father silently disappeared from his life.

Life with his mother had it's own issues. Her work demanded that she very rarely be around Ren, and while his father sent money, and toys, and video games, Ren's mother always took credit for the gifts, reinforcing that Ren's father had abandoned him. With no real friends at school and no family at home, Ren quickly became miserable. He began to act out and was routine disobedient. When he was ten his mother couldn't stand it anymore and sent him to live with her parents on their farm in the country side. This was a major culture shift for Ren, and the adjustment took a long time. For quite a while he was standoffish, and wouldn't socialize if it wasn't an absolute necessity. However, all that changed when he met Hase Saki in middle school. The two of them quickly became the best of friends, doing everything together. They were inseparable, frequently spending nights over at each other's homes. Saki helped Ren open up and repair the bridge not only between himself and his grandparents, but also with his mother.

Now in his last year of high school, Ren is balancing working on the farm, track, and his job working as a waiter in a popular cafe, while also burning the midnight oil studying for his college entrance exams, all the while secretly wishing for something, anything to happen to break up the monotony of his daily life.

Name: Amano Ayane
Class: Average Human
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Member of: Third Year + Kendo Club Member + Student Council Helper [Runner]


Height: 171 cm | 5'7 feet
Weight: 65.77 kg | 145 lbs
Build: Athletic
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Black

Calm * Blunt * Disciplined * Intimidating

Sexuality: Openly Bisexual
Personality: Ayane is often seen as a calm and collected person who can't seem to be caught off-guard in and out of a match. But that's what makes her intimidating for the people who don't know her, she would never let her barriers down. However, if you get to know Ayane as a friend, she is a pretty good person for the most part and would stand up for what's right if she has to. While befriending Ayane can be easy if you don't overstep her boundaries, she doesn't actively seek out friends and would not be afraid to tell anyone what she feels at that moment often in the same calm and nearly detached way as she does most things.

Ayane's work ethic is one of the best as she had been disciplined from a young age to keep to the schedule and do her best to do it by then. Every action seems to be measured by the discipline that she lives by. It does make her an effective student and helper to anyone who would ask for it. Ayane is always willing to help others and is excellent in following orders. This is one of the main reasons why she's employed by the Student Council. She preferred to not have to commit entirely to the Student Council by becoming a member as she does prioritize the Kendo Club over it, but she has promised to help them if need be.

Habits:

• Tends to keep her hands inside her pockets
• Plays with her bracelet when frustrated
• Speaks faster when excited despite still keeping a calmer demeanor

Hobbies:

• Training
• Sketching
• Meditating

Fears:

• Claustrophobia - She grows more frantic and desperate when the walls start caving in.
• Losing her friends

Likes:

• Kendo
• Quiet Places
• Working / Helping
• Sweets
• Early Mornings

Dislikes:

• Closed Spaces
• Laziness
• Boredom
• Not making it by the deadlines
• Loud Noises
• Nosy people

Attributes

Strength: Average
Vitality: Forte
Mobility: Average
Intelligence: Weakness
Supernatural: Average

Skills:

• Kendo Art - Having been trained from a young age, Ayane has been known for her skill with a kendo sword.
• Observation of Technique - To be more effective in a match, Ayane was taught how to accurately predict how her opponent will attack. While this isn't always accurate, it does help.
• Organization - As a person who thrives in more orderly areas, Ayane is great at organization and does remember where she puts things.

Equipment:

• A small family picture in her wallet
• Predominantly black bead bracelet with rainbow colored beads

Your Story Thus Far: The Amano family has been a longstanding family and thus became a traditional family in a modern age. However, they've been slowly transitioning and they are getting better. However, there is one thing that Ayane's father wants to pass down is their own kendo style which they take quite a bit of pride in. Anyone in the Amano household has to know at least the basics of kendo - so Ayane and all of her siblings [3 older brothers, 1 older sister, 1 younger sister] have become well acquainted with kendo. Their father was a patient man as he taught each one of his children the basics and allowed them to choose whether or not they wish to continue with learning the art of kendo. Ayane had decided to pursue it along with her older brother. Other than that, Ayane has led a fairly normal life.

Pursuing the art of kendo, they were taught discipline and Ayane has carried that all throughout her life. Perhaps that's why she comes off as a tad intimidating to others, while she doesn't perform above average in school, the dignified way she carries herself most of the time seem to exude an aura of unfriendliness. However, as Ayane grew older, her imagery of dignified grace has somewhat twisted to the more delinquent side depending on who you asked. She's had some difficulty getting friends because of her lack of resolve in actually gaining them but she had, somehow, been able to gain more friends when she entered Aomori.

Name: Joben, Mufasa, Ishikawa
Class: 'Average Human'
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Member of: Third Year; Student Council(Auditor); Literature Club; Kendo Club(Partial)


Height: 5'11
Weight: 162lbs
Build: In-shape
Eyes: Violet
Hair: Black

Charismatic * Highly Disagreeable * Observant * Callous

Sexuality: Straight(He is very aware.)
Personality: Joben is the perfect example of why growing too swiftly can be detrimental for a young man. Joben is a manipulator who brings an air of security to those that happen to fall into his social honey-trap. This deceptive nature and his relatively deep ideals about the world and his 'would-be peers'have left Joben confident and fastened in his narcissistic ways. Joben feels as if every man should ruthlessly fight for their ideals and their future and believes that to do that a degree of martial, intellectual and political mastery is required. While he firmly grasps the formula for the maintenance of such things, his attraction to the unruly and carnal side of life leaves him to constantly maintain the delicate balance between life as a Model Student and a Corrupt Badboy.

While Joben does well in these areas, it has left him emotionally stretched and somewhat distanced from his peers. While this distance does not deprive Joben of life's thrill and the ability to enjoy the time he spends with others, he feels as if he lives in a world separate from them where he's destined to lead a life that could be considered 'greater' or more 'impactful' to the world. This has led Joben through what he considers to be an endless struggle against coincidence, karma and his idea of fate. The culmination of these factors and the experiences he has gone through to rest with them has left him very grounded in reality due to his lack of expectations from the spiritual side of things.

In this reality of his, Joben considers himself a king. He feels that is his namesake as his full name is translated and combined to mean Clean King Of Stone. While he does hold no qualms about the manipulation of his peers and the world around him, he holds a subtle system of honor where he strives to deftly avoid any notion of his actions or accomplishments being un-true. This harsh, free-flowing and calculated nature along with his penchant for violence towards the unruly individuals of Aomori Gakuen has gained him the title of Rooftop Demon. It's said that to interrupt the free time he spends atop the school's roof is worse than trying to combat a demon. These various factors have also left him popular with both the girls and boys of Aomori Gakuen despite his skin color and many other factors that leave him relatively out of place at a glance.

Habits:
-He has a habit of looking into the eyes of others, it makes some uncomfortable.
-He has a habit of quoting from books he's read in the past to start conversations.
-He also has a habit of smoking despite the comfort of others.
-He often tends to use honorifics and titles even when they're unneeded.
-He has a habit of eyeing people ravishingly.
Hobbies:
-He's an avid user of Aromatherapy.
-He's an avid reader
-He's an avid practitioner of Martial Arts, namely Kendo and Judo.
-He greatly enjoys taking slow drives around the island, though the chances to do so are rare.
-His greatest enjoyment in life is organizing parties, the kind of parties that most parents don't approve of.
Fears:

• Joben utterly dreads the idea of the ease at which mother nature can simply sweep up and destroy the culmination of a collective group's efforts and work through what is considered a relatively small natural event. As a result, he has developed a great fear of wildfires, hurricanes and tornadoes. It can be assumed that some factor of his early childhood assisted in the development of this great fear.

Dislikes:

Attributes

Strength: Average
Vitality: Forte
Mobility: Average
Intelligence: Average
Supernatural: Weakness

Skills: Max 5 - History must reflect these knowledges. The least there are, the more refined they'll be.

• Driver- He's been driving since the age of fifteen.
• Blackbelt Judoka(2nd Dan)- He's infatuated with Judo's redirection of momentum, and has trained in the sport since the age of ten.
• History Buff- He is well versed with information regarding the history of Jitsuryoku-jima, Japan, The Americas and Eurasia.
• Amateur Mixologist- His interest in recreational drugs and incense has recently culminated into a thirst for knowledge regarding the crafting of various different drugs and incense. He can make basic incense sticks and cones, aswell as mix drinks.
• Amateur Herbalist- While Joben isn't exactly infatuated with the various herbs and plant life around Jitsuryoku-jima, his love of Aromatherapy has led him to learn the recognition and understanding of common plants, roots and herbs that grow around japan, namely on Jitsuryoku-jima.

Equipment:
Cigarettes- Joben is a smoker. For those that know, it is seemingly his only vice.
Torch-Flame Cigarette Lighter- Joben carries the lighter around constantly as he needs it to light his incense and of course, his cigarettes. He picked the torch jet style of lighter so that he wouldn't have to buy lighters and because it's quicker to light.
Old Army Knife- Joben carries this army knife very closely as it was a gift from his great friend and secret Mentor Tachibana, Masahiro. He holds it as a constant reminder of the man's subtle yet vast wisdom for the world. That said, it doesn't see much of any use in Joben's possession.
Aomori Gakuen Roof Key- An unofficial key to the roof of Aomori Gakuen. Copied from a roof key borrowed from Tachibana, Masahiro.


Your Story Thus Far:
Joben is an example of a youth that grew too soon. Born in the town of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, he lived with his two happily married parents until the age of seven when a tragic tornado struck, destroying his home and resulting in the death of his mother who was the sole fatality of the incident. Mortified and filled with a resent for the world, he struggled to recover from the tragic event until his father's decision to move to the island of Jitsuryoku-jima, Japan gave him a new hope of avoiding a fate similar to his mother. While his youth was great due to the great financial success of his father and mother up until that point, his father's efforts to sustain the family's excessive finances left them distant, and the distance only managed to grow with the move to Jitsuryoku-jina. This partial lack of a dedicated parental figure curbed Joben's development towards violence against the other children his age. It was during these harsh three years that he came into contact with the various gangs of Jitsuryoku-jima, as they sought his tenacity and thirst for violence. Through the short draw of gang activity, he met Sawaya, Goro who was also noted for his particular traits. While they managed to bud heads very often, an honesty formed between them despite the vast differences they held. Their constant clashing led to a deep understanding of each other's circumstances. All the while, Joben's tenacity had led to a growing connection with Abe, Kou who had become his 'first love'. And while he seemed to fit into the delinquent life perfectly, a simple turn of events saved Joben from a life of darkness.

Joben's knack for violence was eventually sustained and redirected by a suggestion from a mysterious man to Joben's father; it was the suggestion to put the young Joben into a junior martial arts program. It was this simple conversation between the two men that changed the path of Joben's life for the better. While the discipline Joben gained from his practice of Judo was great, his three years as a violent child had exposed him to various information and situations that are inappropriate for a child, let alone one of that age. While the various events and view of street life hadn't scarred him, the exposure to those lifestyles left an impression on Joben that he eventually came to understand by the age of fourteen in junior high where he properly met the 'mysterious man' that hadd influenced his life. That man was Tachibana, Masahiro who saw Joben's path far before Joben realized it existed. Eventually, the man became something of a brotherly figure to Joben, occasionally reminding him of his potential and his blessings whenever the throes of street life would begin to call to him. It was in that same year that Masahiro taught Joben how to drive and many ways to find out more about himself through meditation and other hobbies like reading and Aromatherapy.

It was Masahiro's influence that led Joben to form a more complete picture of life on Jitsuryoku-jima. This idea and the advantages of coming from a rich household led to Joben's pride and the sure nature of his being, giving him the edge he needed to explore the fullness of his teenaged life until recently where his success as a son, student and name around Jitsuryoku-jima began to get the better of him, leading to his growing interest in drugs, sex, politics and a ruthless quest for financial success. While he seemed to function well despite all of his newer vices, it caused some subtly growing distance between him and his peers as they came with the 'realization' that he was above them in status. This slight shift in his behavior has brought trouble and conflict into Joben's life, though he feels as though it's nothing that he cannot handle.

Name: Nobu Date
Class: Average Human
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Member of: Second Year, Computer Science Club


Height: 5'5" / 168 cm
Weight: 123 lbs / 56 kg
Build: Slim
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark Brown

Self-Assured * Obstinate * Obliging * Short-Sighted

Sexuality: Straight and too aware.
Personality: Nobu is a man who is very confident in his own abilities, willing to lend a helping hand wherever he can. However, it is due to this self-confidence that makes most others avoid asking him for help. Headstrong and unable to accept the notion of ever being wrong, Nobu would rather cast himself from out of the masses than conform to what everyone else believes is "correct." Instead of conforming with what others believe are correct (factual or not), Nobu instead indulges in various outlets of escapism mainly in the form of computers. To Nobu, the fact that computers can be programmed to his whims makes them easier to deal with than other people, who form their own thoughts and opinions separate from his.

Despite his rough exterior, Nobu is still inclined to help those who desire his skills so long as they don't imply that he may be wrong. However, aside from his own stubbornness, there is another obstacle that prevent Nobu from properly helping others: his attraction to solving problems through complex methods, especially when simpler ways to solve an issue are apparent. For example, instead of shutting down a computer normally, Nobu would run the command prompt and execute the "shutdown" command manually. Nobu uses such methods both to further cement his judgement and due to his aversion to "taking the easy way out."
Habits:

• Having his face stuffed into a screen most of the time.
• Flexing his fingers together before beginning to work.
• Taking short naps without others noticing.
• Responding rudely when spoken to only to avoid conversations he doesn't want to have.

Hobbies:

• Programming
• Anime
• Mobage
• 2ch 5ch

Fears:

• Sociophobia - Aversion to socializing. In truth, Nobu wishes to help others the best he can, but because of his unique personality causing too many quarrels, he believes that he is better off "closing himself off to the digital world."
• Gynophobia - Aversion to women. A result of Nobu's sociophobia and developed from a misunderstanding. Nobu is unable to hold a normal conversation with girls, more specifically those he finds attractive. For the most part, Nobu has "sworn off 3D women."

Likes:

• Computers
• Games of chance (Gacha)
• Complex Processes
• Konnyaku
• Seinen

Dislikes:

• Simple things
• Small talk
• Shortcuts
• Birds
• Shoujo

Attributes

Strength: Average
Vitality: Average
Mobility: Average
Intelligence: Weakness
Supernatural: Forte

Skills:

• Computer Programming: Proficient in a variety of programming languages and operating systems (including Windows, Unix, TempleOS, and Linux), it would not be too far off to consider Nobu a "genius" in this field, especially given his age. However, this scope is very narrow, and does not cover extensive knowledge on hardware.

Equipment: Aside from his backpack full of stationary as well as his mobile phone, Nobu carries with him a high-end Frontier gaming laptop. However, it is only used for schoolwork and reading light novels.


Your Story Thus Far: There isn't much to say about Nobu's life. The young man was born and raised in Hokkaido, living in the city of Hakodate. While he never was the brightest growing up, he always had easy access to technology. There was never a question he couldn't answer thanks to the internet. In elementary school, he would try making friends with others by telling them all different bits of trivia he would learn from the countless hours he would spend surfing the web. To Nobu, it felt like he was enriching his fellow classmates with new information. To his classmates, Nobu seemed like some sort of know-it-all, showing off how smart he is to look cool. Between that and actively answering every question a teacher would ask in class, it wasn't long until Nobu was ostracized for being a "loud-mouthed nerd." Nobu simply interpreted this reaction as an "inability to learn" on his classmates' parts and happily ignored those who belittled him, but deep down his social anxieties began.

Come the beginning of middle school, Nobu had already immersed himself into the virtual world. He had already learned the ins-and-outs of Windows and Unix, and could already call himself comfortable with Linux to use regularly. Around this time was also when people became more accepting of Nobu's abrasive nature. As a matter of fact, it was also the first time Nobu ever received a confession of love in his shoe locker. Her name was Yonezawa Nanami, one of the more popular girls in the school, so Nobu thought it was rather strange why she would confess to him in such a way... at least until he finished reading the whole letter. The day after, Nobu confronted Nanami in her class, giving her back the letter with all its grammatical and calligraphy errors marked and corrected as if he was grading her before asking if she would like to attend some writing tutorials with him. To Nobu, he truly wished to help Nanami improve on her penmanship, and had offered the writing classes as a potential first date. Nanami, however, was too embarrassed for words, running out of the classroom and causing a scene.

Suffice to say, the spectacle had caused Nobu to be universally reviled among his classmates, and even the target of bullies. Such events only cemented Nobu's descent into the digital world. His parents, afraid that their only son would end up a hikikomori, decided to move to their hometown on the island of Jitsuryoku-jima before the boy started high school. It was then and there that Nobu would reform himself as a man of mystery, helping whoever he encounters in need and whisking away afterward before they can even ask him of his name... or at least, that's what Nobu attempted to do his first few weeks as a first year in Aomori Gakuen. Instead, he became known more as that weird mostly quiet kid who gave advice about trivial things at random points in time. Incidentally, his addiction to digital media has only increased since then.

• Every Female [😡Hates (One-Sided)] - Nobu does not associate himself with "3D". However, there are a few notable exceptions.
• Yoshimoto Natsumi [🎆Respects / 👋Acquaintance] - Seat neighbors. While initially at odds due to Nobu's intimidating nature, they came to an understanding after having a discussion of the "idol" genre. While their tastes differ, they are still both open to discussing seasonal anime.
• Osaki Kiyoko [🙇It's Complicated] - After learning of Nobu's helpful nature (after being sent a cited essay detailing notable administrative mistakes of past world leaders once she was elected), Kiyoko has attempted to help Nobu open himself up more. While Nobu respects these attempts, he has refused to comply since doing so will "go against his ideals" (read: trigger his social anxiety).
• Kimura Yumiko [👿Enemy (One-Sided] - Incidentally, Yumiko resembles Nanami. Nobu tries his best to avoid her, and can't help but see her as a potential rival.
• Minamoto Katsu [💀Dislikes] - Nobu sees Katsu as his main rival due to the both of them being "mysterious exchange students." It is unknown if Katsu feels the same way, as Nobu keeps such feelings to himself.
• Kumagai Arata [💛Friend] - Kohai. Nobu sees it as his duty to mentor Arata, seeing him as a potential "disciple." Banned the topic of "chess" after losing to him once.

Name: Sazae Yokoi
Class: Ningen (Average Human)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Member of: Second Year, Occult Club


Height: 5'5 ft
Weight: 121 lbs
Build: Lithe
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Hazel

Optimistic * Obnoxious * Industrious * Stubborn

Sexuality: You can boil this straight stick and it won't be a noodle.
Personality:



Sazae Yokoi is a bonafide chuunibyou, getting the syndrome when she hit the seventh grade up until her second year in high school and still hasn't gotten over it because she thinks it's cool. While a lot of people see her as a deranged idiot who read too much manga and light novels and watched countless anime, members of the Occult Club disagree. Sure all her worshippings and supernatural knowledge came from the most ridiculously written shows in Japan, her enthusiasm to learn actual occultist practices caught her false interest and asked her to join in making her a naive person as well. Being the optimist, rarely anyone's ever gotten her angry. Bullying was nothing to her because she believes that they are jealous of her "super powers" to the Dark Lord Evil Eye. As cheesy as it sounds, it's one way to look at life positively while doing things you enjoy.

Of course she doesn't act like a crazy person 24/7, whenever she feels tired or sleepy she acts like a legitimately normal person. As if the otaku-weeaboo you've seen earlier in the hallway carrying a broom like some sword is now a proper student who looked like she studied a lot for her final exam and prove it too. Sazae Yokoi is no pushover when it comes to research and studying, despite being the School Clown. She is one of the top ten brightest students at her school though nowhere near the first five, only the bottom five.

Habits:

One of her most obvious habits is speaking like she's the protagonist of an anime and believes she's in the world of one. This is the one thing that cannot be avoided unless they talk about what's seriously at stake, another small part of it is tilting her glasses till the rims become opaque whenever she tells something that sounds smart.

Her second habit is focusing too much on one thing and is too stubborn to let it go until she finishes it and finds closure. This is the only normal aspect of her that even the smart students admire.

Hobbies: Playing RPGs and only RPGs, Joining Roleplay forums, Watching Anime, Reading Manga/LNs, Studying trivia, Playing with her pets.
Fears:

• Fear of heights: Acrophobia
• Fear of death: Thanatophobia

Likes:

• Video Games (RPGs and Fantasy types)
• Anime (The edgy ones and Fantasy)
• Reading
• Her pet dog and pet cat
• Open-minded people

Dislikes:

• Climbing
• P.E Classes
• The Disciplinary Committee
• Gossip
• Normies
• Movies with dogs dying in them

Attributes

Strength: Average
Vitality: Weakness
Mobility: Average
Intelligence: Average
Supernatural: Forte

Skills: Max 5 - History must reflect these knowledges. The least there are, the more refined they'll be.

• Basic Self-Defense Techniques - Sazae wanted to be a heroine of justice, so she took martial arts classes during her first year under the influence of other chuunis during their graduation party moving up to experience the high school life. Unfortunately for her, she only quit after given the choice to get a yellow belt and continue her training. She was satisfied with it the results.
• Amateur Actress - A skill she gained by acting like a complete nutjob. In fact some people in Theatre wanted her to join their club despite her outbursts about some Demon Lord or Demon God, this had been developing since the seventh grade and is still improving up till now. It doesn't exactly work with normal people in the street but it is effective against people who are as just as crazy as her (e.g other chuunis, otakus and foreign weeaboos).

Equipment: A toy sword with a gruffy man's voice playing a random sentence whenever she presses the button, a cloak which is obviously rented, a model gun to make herself look like she knows how to use one, colored contacts, and a notebook made up of her own "lore".


Your Story Thus Far: Sazae Yokoi was born to a well-off family in Kyoto, Japan. While they're not that rich, they are one of the stand-up investors in helping progress Japan to new technological levels alongside other families and companies that are working to that goal. Part of it was moving their family to Jitsuryoku-jima, while this place had already been modernized it's still an island where they won't be followed by possible threats on their life since their investments apparently sparked an angry relationship with some of the neighbors due to her father's selfish wish for progress. Sazae saw it as selfish indeed but whatever junk both her parents told her, she believed them without a doubt. The island itself had a decent population, not many people recognized the father and only the few that have only saw him in television which was a breath of relief. She had moved here when she was in sixth grade.

During her time in middle school where she officially settled in. Bright Sazae Yokoi was walking home from school one day when she caught wind of people acting like they're super heroes from anime she watched, interested- she approached them and wanted to play their game. She was caught off guard when one of them pushed her to the ground, and later declared her as: "intruder". Bewildered by the sudden shift in the game, another kid in a dark cloak "saved" her from a harmless stick she can handle with the brunt of his arm and looked back at her with the biggest smile on his face. As they "fought" (combined with the cringey sounds of them slashing their imaginative swords and super powers), her interest in their activity grew until it became obssession. The next day, she finally joined them as an official member of "the gang." Even going as far as begging her parents to enroll her in a martial arts dojo so she could show off her professionally trained skills.

Of course while her time with The Gang was fun for a few years, those that reach the end of their middle school finally snapped out of their cringey behavior and dedicated their time to studying for the entrance exams in their selected high schools. Sazae was devastated that they couldn't play like they used to now that they're finally looking beyond the horizon regardless, they remained friends. Sazae however, wasn't over it. The 8th Grade Syndrome carrying over in high school, enrolled in Aomori Gakuen and embarrassing herself to her own classmates on the first day. While everyone bullied her for it, those at the Occult Club find interest in her enthusiasm even if she is believing in fake nonsense.

Her Chuunibyou hasn't died down at any rate yet and is still going on her second year.

• 💛Friend - Murai Chikako (At the very least, Sazae thinks of her as a friend even when she isn't as... communicating...)
• 💙Good Friend - Kamei Azumi (Sazae was the one who greeted her one day when she was having trouble finding a club. She's interested in her writing skills and helped her write up the "lore" for her notebook.)
• 😈Frienemy - Abe Kou (A delinquent that Sazae sees as someone who needs a friend. She would often try to fight her and lose whenever Abe "gets serious". Of course Abe never liked Sazae, she was annoying to her.)
• 💙Good Friend - Kumagai Arata (One would never think the Occult and Computer Science club would meet. No, Sazae just happened to find him playing games. This was good enough reason for her to be friends with him on a hobbyist level.)
• 🙇It's Complicated - Minamoto Katsu (Sazae would run to Katsu's aid even though he doesn't want a crazy person's help but finds use in Sazae's alarmingly powerful acting for an idiot. He rarely ever thanks her but Sazae is sure that he appreciated the help. They sometimes ignore each other when they walk in the halls though.)
• 💜Best Friends - Yoshimoto Natsumi (Sazae's comrade-in-arms. Although Natsumi isn't as... eccentric... as Sazae, their interests and similarities as otakus caused them to become best friends.)
• 👋Acquaintance - Kimura Yumiko (Sazae rarely sees her around the club or at the very least hasn't hard a conversation with her. She tries talking but Kimura only responds in small talk in leaves somewhere. She is a Student Council Member and Sazae isn't surprised)

@heroic2019

Name: Amélie Tanaka, also known as Raijin - nicknamed so for her spontaneous nature and bright blonde hair
Class: Average Human
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Member of: Third Year + Track Club + Tennis Club


Height: 5'5''
Weight: 120 lbs
Build: Athletic, well-toned
Eyes: Emerald
Hair: Blonde

Sociable * Stubborn * Protective * Insensitive

Sexuality: Bisexual; hasn't quite yet figured out that she likes girls romantically as well, though she finds them attractive.
Personality: One need not spend a long time with Amélie to realize exactly how she earned her nickname. Those closest to her liken her to lightning for a reason; she's unpredictable, spontaneous and quick, here one moment, gone the next. Bold and sociable, she has no problem inserting herself into the presence of others - sometimes to their chagrin - and striking up a conversation as if she's known them her entire life. Needless to say, there aren't many in the school who haven't heard of her, whether they like it or not. Now, whether she's unaware that her behaviour can be a bother to some people, or whether she realizes it and simply doesn't care is anyone's guess. When it comes to her, either option is quite viable.

With that said, though she knows a lot of people and never fails to offer them a smile and a wave when passing them by, whether she's actually friends with them is debatable. If asked, she would say she is - after all, she enjoys spending time with them and talking with them. Therein, though, lies the problem; for all her love of talking, Amélie isn't very good at listening - at least, beyond a superficial level. That is to say, though she is sympathetic, she isn't very empathetic and therefore doesn't really understand others' emotions. She's bad at comforting people, in particular - she has a tendency to inadvertently dismiss the presented problem, pretend not to notice or change the topic - or, if unable to avoid it, force a solution based more on logic than feelings. Anything to make the problem go away before she remembers her own issues or says something wrong and makes things worse. Due to this, most of her bonds, while maybe enjoyable on a surface level, tend to be shallow. She doesn't really know anyone, and no one really knows her.

Perhaps partly due to the above, Amélie always tries to make sure everyone is having a good time, and will quickly latch onto sad-looking people and make it her sworn duty to get them to smile. Also, while bad at comforting people, she isn't necessarily bad at helping them in all cases. If presented with a problem that can have a physical solution, such as someone being bullied or injured, things are quite different; Amélie makes sure to do her utmost to help, sometimes with a little too much vigor. Protective to a fault, she sees herself as dependable and has no problem walking up to someone twice her size to demand they stop bothering her friend. Truth be told, Amélie is reckless in general, and absolutely lives for adrenaline - to a point that long times without make her antsy. While her excitability - particularly when combined with her athletic prowess - mean she has energy to spare, it also means that she gets bored of things easily. Never leave her in charge of a mundane task; she will either do it sloppily or find a way to "spice things up" while doing it - which is code for disaster. Finally, she is extremely competitive, though she keeps a positive mood no matter the result. Just... don't be surprised if she's way more passionate about a perceived rivalry than you are.

Habits:

• When nervous or forced to stay stationary for too long, she starts to show various signs of discomfort. Most often, she'll start to tap her foot, constantly change her weight from one leg to another or, if able, even jog in place.
• Will start to hum or talk to herself if she's left in silence for too long and there's no one else to speak to. Music works, as well. The louder, the better.
• Laughs a lot. Be it chuckles, giggles or just small chirping sounds of amusement, her speech is dotted with them - particularly when she's excited.
• Sometimes, though rarely, inserts French words or exclamations into her speech. Sometimes they come by accident, such as when surprised or shocked, but other times she does it on purpose, since it amuses some of her fellow students. She doesn't mind being the funny foreigner, after all.

Hobbies:

• Running
• Swimming
• Tennis
• Collecting stamps
• Hiking

Fears:

• Silence - when there are no sounds to block them out, her thoughts get unbearably loud
• Something happening to her father or grandfather
• Being alone

Likes:

• Adrenaline
• Winning
• Steaks
• Surprises
• Competition

Dislikes:

• Supernatural things or people believing in them (this borders on a fear, but not a debilitating one)
• Chores
• Sweet things
• Being ignored
• Boredom
• Reading

Attributes
Strength: Average
Vitality: Average
Mobility: Forte
Intelligence: Average
Supernatural: Weakness

Skills:

• Move your body | From a very young age, Amélie has always been moving. She is agile and flexible and knows her own limits and strengths when it comes to physical exertion.
• Breathe in, breathe out | due to many of her hobbies (namely, running and swimming) depending on proper oxygen management and breathing technique, she is very good at controlling her oxygen intake and energy output. She can hold her breath for a respectable amount of time, as well.
• Not quite a medic, but! | Scrapes aren't uncommon for her, and she's seen a few even more serious injuries being sustained by her fellow athletes. She's by no means an expert, but she's studied a thing or two when it comes to nutrition and first aid - topics that only interested her due to their close correlation with her success in fields that interest her.

Equipment:

• Tennis racket - for tennis practice
• Water bottle - considering how much she exerts herself, she'd be dead by now if she didn't always hang on to at least one

Your Story Thus Far: Amélie was born in Lyon, France, to a Japanese father and a French mother, though she took after the latter quite heavily as far as appearances went - a fact that must've made the couple's eventual divorce even harder for her father. Amélie herself was young enough not to remember much of it, and her father never did seem eager to share their reasons. Either way, from there on out, it was up to her father to raise her alone - a somewhat daunting task, as Amélie was never an easy child. She was energetic to a fault, and seemed to love getting into trouble. It was only once she grew old enough to somewhat understand that her behaviour was making her father sad that she tried to control it - to a degree, anyway.

Then, towards the end of elementary school, Amélie's father made the decision to return to Japan. His mother was in poor health, and after such a long time spent overseas, he started to miss his home country. So when Amélie started middle school, she did so in a new country, in a new language, with people she did not know. A no doubt scary concept to many - but absolutely exhilarating to Amélie. She embraced the new 'adventure', as she called it, with open arms, both literal and figurative.

Only, her enthusiasm was one-sided. To her new classmates, she came across as... too much, in many ways. Too bright, too loud, too brazen; every step she took to try and befriend people, they took backwards to avoid her, unsure what to do. After all, they didn't even share a language.

It was a tough spot for her, yet she refused to talk about her troubles to her family. Her father had always been the type to bottle up his problems and try to keep up a strong, positive front for her - now, it was her turn to return the favor. He had enough on his plate, having to worry about his mother's health. The least he needed was to think that he'd caused her discomfort by moving here. As for her grandparents, well... they were kind, if eccentric. Very superstitious, they had decorated the house with all sorts of 'wards' against 'ghosts' and 'spirits' and whatnot, and quite frankly, Amélie was afraid they'd think she was cursed or something if she told them about her problems. Not to mention, they didn't share a language either.

Luckily for Amélie, she was born stubborn as a bull - and eventually, after months upon months of relentlessly trying to make friends, her labor bore fruit; after trying to brute force friendship onto half the school, she finally got a friend. A friend that was a bit reserved about her still, and who had trouble understanding her - but a friend was a friend was a friend. She wasn't picky. From there, things picked up for her. She started to learn Japanese quite fast, and with someone already associating with her, others started to dare venture closer to this strange foreigner as well. She got closer to her grandparents as well, enjoying their stories and especially their cooking. A little stereotypical, perhaps, but true enough.

Then, one day, her grandmother passed away - and even her father, always so positive and unaffected by grief, threatened to break down. Unsure what to do, Amélie tried to offer him comfort - by saying that she was sure her spirit would stay to watch over them. Wrong move. All she ended up doing was making her father and grandfather both even more superstitious - to a point that on more than one occasion, they swore they'd seen her haunt the hallways. Startled by what she'd caused, Amélie was too afraid to try and console the two (and subsequently, anyone else) again, out of fear of making things worse.

Today, things are slowly looking up. Her grandfather still has an obsession with his dead wife's supposed spirit, and her father is still trying his best to keep everything together - but at the very least, they aren't alone anymore. A year or so ago, other relatives that worried for the two men's mental health managed to convince the whole family to move over to Jitsuryoku-jima, where the rest of their extended family lived. A seemingly peaceful island with fresh air aplenty, they hoped it to be the perfect environment for rehabilitation.

If only they knew.

Relationships:

• 💜 Hase, Saki (bestie! If anyone out there knows about Amélie's tendency not to talk about her problems, it's this girl.)
• 😈 Minamoto Katsu (rival, or so she's declared. There can only be one bully-fighting, blonde exchange student in this school!)
• 💛 Kamei Azume (cute, cute, cute, she must get this cutie out of her shell! Honestly, Amélie's friendship is probably one-sided, since she's more a bother for the poor girl.)
• 👿 Tanimoto, Orochi (gah, a perv! And one that's hit on her friends, no less! Must be fought at all costs.)
• ♨️ Murai Chikako (occult club... stuff like that isn't real, so it can't be good for her. Ahh.)
