We decided to up the OOC already, despite being 1 short. Check it out.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Harmonia United

Name
Masaru Chinen

Age
18

Appearance
Masaru is pretty average in terms of height, being neither particularly tall or short. He has medium-length, midnight blue hair with a few bangs hovering in front of his red-trimmed glasses. Behind his pair of spectacles lie two cool, azure eyes. His skin is smooth and well cared for, but his constant icy gaze and sneer to most people can be more than off-putting. Masaru pays great care to his appearance, which is evidence by how his uniform never seems even the slightest bit wrinkled. His more angular face bears great resemblance to that of his mother’s, showing that he inherited a lot from her. He’s also not very athletically built, being more scrawny than muscly.

Personality
Masaru is a diligent but stubborn individual, obsessed with constantly trying to improve and being the best at at all times. Because of this, and some inherent intelligence, he considers himself better than most people and will look down upon them most of the time. That’s not to say he can’t hold a regular conversation, but he’d rather not engage with people he does not deem worth his time. Because of these factors, Masaru is a very sore loser. He dislikes failing anything and will beat himself up over things in a disproportionate manner, leaving him unable to be happy for his opponent to have won.

Masaru is also generally cold and dismissive to people, which make him and Emi Fujino a surprisingly good duo. If you see either of them interact with somebody, it’s usually each other. Conversely, people like Hyousuke, who don’t take anything seriously, annoy Masaru to no end. Masaru doesn’t have a sense of humor, either, making him clueless whenever most people crack a joke.

Dorm
Synchro

History
Masaru is the son of Aiko Chinen, his dorm leader. She’s always been a hard worker who was hellbent on her goals, so it comes as a surprise to most people that she has a son to begin with. As you might expect of this hard working lady, though, she never had much time to spend with Masaru. The boy grew up around his father for the longest time, though on Masaru’s 10th birthday, his father passed away in an accident. Even so, however, Aiko had trouble finding time between her work hours to spend time with Masaru. She obviously cares for her son, but due to constant stress and overwork she put a lot of expectations on him and kept pushing the boy to get excellent results. Aiko was very strict in that regard, making Masaru grow up with very little fun in his life.

Things got even more complicated when the company Aiko was working for, Noritaka inc, wanted to transfer her over to Harmonia United as the lead researcher and one of the teachers there. Reluctantly she agreed, but decided to take Masaru with her once she did. Even if Aiko had little time to spend with her son, she wanted to at least be near him to be able to keep an eye on the boy. Still, this only made things harder for him. Since Aiko was a very strict teacher, Masaru had to quickly learn and study up on everything to work his way up with his grades. By the end of his first year at Harmonia, Masaru was already top of his class grades wise… but his dueling still lacked polish.

During his second year, however, he improved over time. Masaru didn’t have the time to make friends in his first year, but he met Keitaro and Emi on the following one. Both of them were already top notch duelists even back then, often crushing Masaru and knocking him further and further down on the leaderboards. Still, he got back up each time and analyzed his losses to the point of madness, ready to challenge either of them again soon enough. It took him a while, but by the end of his second year at Harmonia, these three had pushed themselves to their absolute limits and became some of the best students in their dorm. During the final exam to decide the next year’s champion, Masaru was put up against Hyousuke, the top runner of the year. After an intense, nail-biting duel, Masaru barely came out on top and clinched the title.

Now, however, he has so much more to lose and even more expectations placed upon him. No matter what it took, Masaru was going to prove that his hard work didn’t amount to nothing, that he deserved to be where he was.

The 4 NPC's

Remaining top 5

Hyousuke Murakana

The second-best duelist of the Synchro dorm, although you wouldn’t be able to tell from the way he acts. Hyousuke, or more commonly called Hyou, has slackerific tendencies. Contrary to everything the dorm stands for, he studies little and often skips out of class to get up to hijinks elsewhere. Fittingly, his grades are far from something to brag about. Still, he’s always pulled through every year by the skin of his teeth and is an incredibly talented duelist. He’s only barely behind Masaru in terms of raw skill, though nobody in the dorm would want him as their representative due to his attitude. Hyou isn’t a bad guy, though, being one of the most approachable and friendliest members of the entire dorm.

Appearance: Hyou has stark white hair, spiked up into three bangs going up and then forward. His golden eyes compliment his friendly smile, though the boy never wears his uniform properly. He wears his blazer as a cape, showing off the rather plain, black shirt hiding underneath. Other than that Hyou isn’t too remarkable, as he’s not particularly muscular nor stands out in height.

Deck: Synchron

Emi Fujino

Emi is the local ice queen of the Synchro dorm, being the most antisocial person there. She keeps her distance from everyone and gets abrasive and rude when you try to talk to her, making her a very unpleasant person to be around. Needless to say, she’s not often seen with friends. There’s only a handful of people who can handle her intolerance and verbal abuse. Despite her attitude, she demonstrates frequently that she has enough skill to back up her attitude. Emi is a very sore loser, however and doesn’t like being called out on only being the third best duelist of the Synchro dorm.

Appearance: Emi’s a bit taller than average and likes to keep her light blue hair just below shoulder length. Her hair’s cut in a way that makes the left side of her face have a bang hanging from it while the right remains clear. She usually keeps her arms close to her and walks eerily straight, her cold and azure eyes piercing through everyone as she does.

Deck: Ice Barrier

Keitaro Asano

Keitaro, for all intents and purposes, does not fit into the classic image of the synchro dorm. He frequently doesn’t hand in his work and skips class, hanging out with similarly minded individuals from oher dorms. Keitaro, despite being a skilled duelist, has gotten on the verge of expulsion multiple times throughout his years at Harmonia for misbehaviour and damage of property. Still, Aiko keeps the boy around for some reason as she sees the untapped potential in the boy. This year is his last chance, however. If Keitaro screws it up again, Aiko won’t be there to save him this time.

Appearance: Keitaro prefers the old-fashioned delinquent look, having a glorious pompadour sticking out in front of his face at all times. His black hairs rivalling the length of an imperial broadsword aren’t his only standout features though, as the boy has a noticeable scar underneath his right eye. Speaking of eyes, his are a rather average hazel brown. Like some others, Keitaro can’t stand wearing his uniform properly and instead decides to wear a long, black coat over it to make himself seem more threatening.

Deck: Armors (anime)

Ryuji Ryumine

Perhaps the most extreme and energetic of the Synchro Dorm’s best 5, Ryuuji is a massive oddball. He’s bombastic, loud and sometimes obnoxious as he proclaims himself the best dragon tamer in all of Harmonia. He’s built up this unbeatable character of himself despite only being the fifth best duelist in the dorm, but confronting him on it will only meet you with him saying “This is only a temporary setback!” or similar excuses. He also carries his voice as more bombastic than it actually is, almost shouting all his lines in an attempt to be dramatic.

Appearance: Ryuji is a tall person, easily coming out above most other males his age. His golden hair is short, but messy as it spikes out to all sides. Ryuji likes accessories, having no less than three silver earrings in his right ear and two silver rings, one for each ring finger. Unlike Hyou who pretends his uniform is a cape, Ryuji wears an actual red cape, and proudly too. He has two differently coloured eyes, though not through natural means as he wears red and green contact lenses to mask his average brown eyes underneath.

Deck: Dragon Synchro

---

-Name-
Hikaro Machi

-Age-
18

-Appearance-
Machi stands at 5'11", sporting a fairly toned bodybuild and a slouching walk that just screams "carefree". He has fairly short but messy orange hair, with a matching pair of somewhat bushy eyebrows directly above his emerald eyes. Machi is usually dirty and somewhat rough in appearance due to being a bit rowdy, and his uniform never looks that great due to him both not really caring and the fact he messes it up by doing stupid things, like wiping away barbecue sauce with his sleeve. When forced to dress decently however, he can still appear as a decent looking young man; Though perhaps he'd look more off because it's not normal for him at all.

-Personality-
Machi can be described as confident, and overly passionate about dueling. When he's not stuffing his face, he's testing his deck and forming new strategies, before testing them out on the fellow members of his dorm. His loud and rash nature can be a bit irritating to some, though he's generally a friendly guy: Unless you get on his bad side by being stuck-up or a general prick.

He'll gladly throw himself into a situation if he sees something that doesn't stick right with him; usually someone with a superiority complex is enough to pull Machi into trouble by adding himself into a fight or dueling to knock his opponent down a peg. He has a strong dislike for people who shoot down others due to their own cockiness, and tries his best to make them get lost when they cause an issue.

Picking fights aside, Machi is seen as a bit of an idiot due to his general upbeat nature and carelessness, but is respected by his dorm for his talent as a duelist. He's also friendly with the majority of his dorm; Annoyed by severe laziness like Kien's, though still finding him hilarious and incredibly smart. Terrified of Sinata's bursts of aggression and confused by foreign things. Despite being the champ, many of the people in his dorm honestly help keep him on track, though of them do it by making him regret his mistakes more than anything. In return, he tends to pull them into any stupid ideas he has. They're a mess of a crew.

-Dorm-
Fire

-History-
Machi grew up in a family of four: His parents, himself, and his younger sister were a small effective system in a middle-class household. Years before Machi had been born even, his father was a paleontologist: Studying fossils of the past, and meeting the love of his life who was but a simple tour guide on a school trip to an excavation site. Once Machi was born, he was introduced to everything prehistoric; His father decorated his room with fossils, most of his attire and toys were dinosaur themed, and over time the man tried to get his son as interested into paleontology as he was.

While the boy considered it all to be fascinating, he also easily got bored with everything that was involved after digging up the fossils. Scientific observations just weren't for him; He had other aspirations instead. During his childhood he became fascinated with dueling; Investing in his own card packs and building whatever he could out of what he had. Especially the dinosaur cards.

He was pretty good, too: By the time Harmonia Duel Academy had even been put in his head, he was already able to outplay most of his friends, though he found himself oddly on par with his younger sister who had also gotten into the game. Despite being younger, she could read her brother like an open book, and more often than not crushed him in duels.

His love for dueling, along with the fact most of his friends were trying to pass the exams, caused him to decide to try and get into Harmonia United. His father wanted him to strive towards paleontology, but Machi wasn't enthusiastic about spending his life staring at bones. With his mother's consent, and his father caving in and allowing him to pursue what he wished, he was off; Saying goodbye to his parents and little sister, swearing to write, while also telling his sister to also take the exams once she was older.

He told her to keep practicing, too. As he swore to get a lot better before they dueled again.

His exams could have gone better; He wasn't the dumbest kid around but he wasn't terribly smart, either. His dueling managed to place him in the top five, ranking as the fourth best exam duelist behind a surprisingly laid back kid in third; Nari Kien. Who had also proven to be extremely intelligent in his prior tests, as well. Though neither of them were the best of the best, they were exceptional; And ended up in the Fire Dorm together, too.

Machi's first year was fun, more than anything. He was a bit careless, but managed to place himself as one of the better duelists of his first year; Managing to beat Kien and a third year student before losing to the best student in the dorm at the end of the year: Marouki Sinata, a first year like him, in an absolute blowout. He wasn't angry, or disappointed, he had a lot of fun with it; And was determined to change things around during his second year.

Which he did; Along with the help of Kien. His fellow second year student helped him learn and become much better over time; He worked hard on his strategies, he ate all the leftover barbecue after Fiery Friday, and despite harsh competition, the positions changed: Sinata ended up pushed back to third that year, though she mostly went unopposed with the students below her.

It left Kien as the best student of the dorm that year, with Machi in second after managing to get Sinata back for his loss at the end of the first year by kicking her down the ladder to deny her passage to the title of champ. This lead to the finals being between Machi and Kien, which ended up being a very close and drastic duel; Kien's mind playing around Machi's strategies that he helped build himself.

But Machi held out.

Whenever Kien thought he won, Machi pulled himself out of defeat barely. By the end of the duel, Machi had only 400 Life Points left to Kien's 2200, before landing a devastating direct attack. Making him the champion, and leaving Kien blasted back down to second place.

One thing bothered Machi; And it was Kien's field during his direct attack. He had two cards set, and neither of them had triggered during that final turn. It was possible they were bluffs; But he knew Kien. That guy thought long and hard about the decisions he made, and he planned a lot. He has had a sinking feeling Kien let him win that duel, but he has never managed to ask Kien to confirm it. Despite how much it bothered him, he left it be. Not wanting to insult Kien as both a friend and duelist he respected.

Machi is now going into his third year as the newest champ of the Fire Dorm; Not yet realizing just how much his actions mattered now. He had a bumpy road ahead of him, and the only people he had were his dormmates to keep him from falling off the path and screwing things up.

Remaining top 5

Nari Kien

Kien is a overweight young man prone to laziness and ignoring responsibility. Despite this, he still manages to be one of the highest ranking duelists in the Fire Dorm while also keeping a high exam rating. He joined Harmonia Academy at the same time as Machi and Sinata, being the third best duelist in their entrance exams and was in the top percentage of the written exam. He approaches the academy carefully, and never stresses himself to do something. This method has done surprisingly well for him; He has remained near the top of the dorm for the majority of the time he's been at the academy, and currently seems reluctant to give up the number 2 spot in Fire Dorm.

There are rumors that Kien threw his match against Machi last year, but he has never confirmed or denied it: Instead telling people if they think they can beat Machi, to go for it; They can find the answer themselves.

Appearance: Kien is a bit of a butterball; Round in appearance, and kind of stubby in the limb department. He has shoulder-length curly black hair, and ocean-blue eyes that constantly are fighting the urge to close up for a nap. His cheeks are somewhat chubby, and his chin dribbles a bit, though generally he looks fine. His complexion is decent, and he keeps himself pretty clean compared to Machi.

Deck: Toons

Marouki Sinata

Sinata is certainly... An individual. Usually considerate and kind, She has proven herself to her dorm that she is not a duelist to be messed with; Having joined the same year as Machi and Kien, she was much more situated: Having blown away expectations for first years by becoming the highest ranking duelist on the leaderboard; Knocking Machi down when he tried to compete with her the first time, though falling short during her second year as Machi and Kien both surpassed her. She considers them both rivals and dedicates hours of each day trying to build up the perfect strategy against them both to take her to the top during their third year; Whatever it takes to get it done, it will happen.

When she gets excited, she's surprisingly loud and aggressive. You can most often see this in duels, though when she gets mad, she scares the Fire Dorm boys into running for miles. Despite being above her, Kien and Machi are very afraid of her due to the fact she's not afraid to knock them upside the head for being idiots.

Appearance: Sinata looks fairly innocent at first glance; Often seen with floral design accessories and generally cutesy in her slim but fit appearance. She has straight chocolate brown hair that goes past her shoulders, and crimson eyes that can probably stare directly into your soul when she's pissed off. She's a master of shifting between quiet and concerned to loud and rowdy.

Deck: Battlin' Boxers

Hayase Otoishi

Despite being in the top 5, Otoishi has a deeper passion outside of dueling; Music. He's a guitarist that is always practicing his riffs when he's not dueling, and tends to go off on rants due to his own casual view on the academy lifestyle and how some people 'ruin his jam'. He's by far the most chill and passive of the Fire Dorm members, though has explosions of passion that occasionally reveal the potential that brought him as far as he's gone.

He tends to look for flaming hot duels to fuel his muse of song-writing, and constantly insists to the others that Fire Dorm ought to start a band with their top 5 best duelists. If not only because it'd be totally awesome and intimidating to the other dorms that they were such a unit. He has faith his dream will one day come true.

Appearance: Otoishi is lanky, though has a bit of a gut. He has long unkempt blonde hair, and hazel eyes. He's got a bit of scruff growing on his chin, somebody probably needing to remind the guy to shave, though otherwise he generally looks fine. He prefers loose clothing, though keeps his uniform in decent shape compared to Machi.

Deck: Symphonic Warriors

Shujinko Kotone

Kotone is perhaps what people would refer to as a 'worrywart'. She can end up sweating bullets at the smallest of situations, and has a bad tendency to lose faith in herself. Through motivation from other students, she's managed to pull herself barely into the top 5 of her dorm with the potential to do much more, from what she's been told at least.

She's a very soft and sweet girl, who has a hard time trying to push forward knowing the fact it'd potentially hurt the others. Though they motivate her to try and do it, and she refuses to let the strength they lend her go to waste. So she tries her hardest, up until the very end. Or at least until the pressure eats away at her to the point she can't properly play anymore.

Appearance: Kotone is of average height, her personality not allowing her to make much of a presence most of the time. She has shoulder-length layered pink hair, and a pair of sensitive but observant yellow eyes. Kotone is probably the most clean and neat of the entire top five, always trying to ensure things are nice and neat before she starts her day. With skin like silk and a cute posture, she's certainly not the type that seems to be pro duelist material.

Deck: Magibullet / Magical Musketeer

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Harmonia United

Character Glossarry

Hideo Hasao

The founder of Harmonia United. The man has long since passed away, but was a pioneer in the dueling field. His founding of Harmonia to be an academy based on healthy competitive spirit made him an extremely well respected individual in the eyes of many. A playful yet competitive environment would drive students to push each other to even greater heights, aiming to try their best. His school grew steadily during his time as a principal, but it did not grow to this size until after he had passed the baton to the next generation. He was an honest and earnest man, and is the only principal to have a statue dedicated to him in the courtyard of the main building.

Appearance: Hideo was an old man when his statue was erected in the courtyard, but he didn't look any worse for wear. His body was noticeably fit underneath that suit he always wore, with that stern face of his having a jolly smile that showed a truly happen man. His hair was long gone when this statue was made, but his youthful spirit was not.

Yoshi Noritaka

The current head of Harmonia United, having been in charge for 10 years after the last principal has stepped down. Owner of the multinational company known as Noritaka inc., his funding helped the academy grow exponentially in the last few years. He was the one who remodeled all the dorms as well as renovating the entire school to be much more prestigious. He seems like an honest man, though he rarely engages with the student body and spends long amounts of time cooped up in the principal’s office. He also changed it so that some facilities, open to all students in the past, became unique to certain dorms. He also installed new facilities to make it more fair, such as the theme park in collaboration with Akira, the high-tech gear for Synchro dorm and the arcade for Xyz after some convincing by Noir.

Appearance: Yoshi is a middle-aged man with a more rounded figure, as if he's been drinking a few too many beverages. He has a scruffy brown mustache that fits in with his balding head, and the man's principal uniform is a chique violet. Yoshi is a very twitchy person when you see him, but he gives off an honest vibe.

Dorms & Champions

Fire

Machi Hikaro

Izumi Nonaka

Probably the easiest going of any of the teachers, and also the youngest. Being only 25, Izumi is actually a former Water dorm champion of the academy. After going pro for a year, she decided it wasn’t for her and studied to become a teacher. Her goal from the start was to teach at Harmonia United, but the only spot that opened up was that of the Fire dorm’s head. Because of her youth, Izumi frequently mingles and chats with the students of the academy, of which a majority are stunned by her beautiful looks. Her features are apt described as ‘prettier than the sparkles of a sun-setting ocean’.

Appearance: One of the shorter teachers on campus, she’s actually a bit of a dwarf compared to some other students. She’s not terribly short, but her below average height does make her have to look up to most people. That aside and contrary to what you’d expect, Izumi is very slender. Her facial features are very sharp and combined with her flowing, aquamarine hair she’s a beauty to behold.

Deck: Dinomist

Water

Kanna Hayashi

Wataru Nishima

A middle-aged and kind man, Wataru is the lead of the Water dorm. He is very calm and patient with his students, often engaging with them during lessons and sometimes not giving any classes at all. He is the one who insisted on the huge amount of rowboats available, as Wataru is an avid fisher at heart. As a mandatory part of his curriculum he sets aside some days to go fishing with a group of his students, thinking patience is a virtue. He insists you can learn a lot from fishing, keeping some of the more hot-headed members of his dorm in check. Wataru is generally regarded as the least skilled duelist out of all the teachers, but also the most competent in actually teaching.

Appearance: Wataru, despite his gentle nature, is a pretty big bear of a man. He towers over most teachers and students in the academy, with some visible muscle showing on his arms. That’s not to say he looks threatening, though. His hair is playfully scruffy and coloured a hazel brown, with a permanent stubble on his chin. He often walks around with a smile, almost always in a good mood. He’ll often walk around with his professional fishing rod, even during class.

Deck: Fish

Wind

Yute Asama

Akira Sora

Former pilot, resident engineer and the head of the Wind Dorm. Contrary to what most believe due to their short hair and flat chest, this ball of energy is actually a woman. She’s somewhat middle-aged, but looks really young for how old she is. Back in her piloting days she had the nickname ‘Akira of the Sky’ due to her last name, though she resigned to become a teacher of her favorite hobby. She actually designed the theme park next to the Wind dorm as well as being the main person to handle the upkeep. She’s really easygoing and lets her students goof off often, making some believe she’s not at all suited for her job.

Appearance: Akira, even though she’s a dorm leader, doesn’t actually wear her dorm leader uniform very often. Due to the heavy maintenance work she does around the academy she’s often met with dusty or greasy machinery, making her don a jumpsuit to avoid her clothes getting dirty. This obscures her feminine body build well enough already, but her short and blonde hair doesn’t help matters. Akira’s also slightly taller and has a more angular face compared to most females, further adding to her more masculine appearance.

Deck: Mecha Phantom Beast

Earth

Samantha Clover

Sumika Naomi

The Earth dorm’s dorm leader and also their chef. She is the single best cook out of anyone in the academy, which is helped by the fact she can use fresh ingredients every day with ease. She’s a very charming, motherly figure despite her youthful and slender looks. Sumika is also easily the most compassionate out of any single dorm leader. Her philosophy is that a healthy and soothed mind makes you strong, so she makes sure her students are always well fed and able to come to her if they have any issues on their mind.

Appearance: Sumika is of average length and very feminine in her appearance. She’s the most classic of any of the teachers, having a slightly round and soothing face with long, black hairs. She often ties her hair into a ponytail and goes around in an apron a lot, even during some of her classes in which she’ll teach her students to cook. Her plain appearance ironically makes her stand out the most, since she’s the only ‘normal’ looking individual in the staff lineup.

Deck: Naturia

Dark

Felicitas Weiner

Thomas Quill

As a teacher, Thomas is very strict and to-the-point, with students having very little input on his lessons. He spends most of his time in the Dark dorm’s library, researching various subject for both his lessons and spare time, or just reading. Thomas, naturally, also acts as the librarian, so students have to go past him to loan books out of the library. Most of the time he will bite your head off when you try approaching or talking to him for anything that doesn’t concern his immediate job. Thomas does open up on certain occasions though. If you spy him playing with his pet dog, Snuggle, he is a lot more approachable and open for dialogue.

Appearance: Thomas, is a very intimidating individual. Even when dressing in something other than the dorm leader’s uniform, the clothing he wears are always dyed in dark and melancholic colours. This isn’t helped by his dark green hair, although it’s capped off with an uncharacteristically stylish fedora.

Deck: Spellbooks

Light

Lance Ristof

Leopold van Mourik

Every school has to have one teacher nobody seems to like, and Leopold is that teacher for Harmonia United. He is a stuck-up, selfish individual that looks down on any non-light student, because he is their dorm leader. He think Light is the supreme dorm and will push his students to their limits in order to live up to this self-envisioned standard, accepting nothing short of perfection. Leopold also has a deep-seated grudge against the Dark dorm leader, Thomas, as the both of them started teaching around the same time and Thomas’ Dark dorm currently holds more titles than Leopold’s Light dorm.

Appearance: He’s most certainly classy and has style, if nothing else. The almost regal suit he wears fit nicely on his tall, slender body and don’t conflict with his clean-cut, baby blond hairs. Despite dressing nicely, though, his permanent, judgemental scowl is anything but. If you happen to catch him at any random time of the day, Leopold will very blatantly look down at you, literally and metaphorically.

Deck: Monarchs

Synchro

Masaru Chinen

Aiko Chinen

Head of the Synchro dorm and local scientist. Whenever she’s not teaching, she’s cooped up in her lab in the main building. This alone already makes it extremely hard to get a hold of Aiko, but not only that, she’s also a cold and distant person. She has very little interaction with her students. She doesn’t take the student body into account and is extremely demanding with giving grades, making her classes some of the hardest in the entire school. Because of her attitude, the Synchro dorm has relatively few students compared to all the other dorms, but Aiko simply believes those who do not put in hard work do not deserve any accomplishments either. Strangely and rather contradictory, however, Aiko also believes those with potential will always wind up on the path of success one day, even if it takes them a while to put in the work required.

Appearance: Aiko is of average length and often walks around with a lab coat covering the uniform for the dorm leaders. She wears a black, full-rimmed pair of glasses and has a constantly fatigued face. Her hair is long and a slightly faded midnight blue. Aiko isn’t constantly maintaining her appearance, but still has a very mature look to her.

Deck: Crystron

Xyz

Naoki Sora

Noir

The head of the Xyz dorm, Noir is the oldest teacher in the academy. His name isn’t actually Noir, but rather it’s an alias he uses. He’s wise and compassionate, but also distant and mysterious. He does not talk about himself and prodding him would only serve to get him to talk about the past and how you could learn from it. He also actively duels the least out of any teacher due to his loner nature, preferring to observe and help students grow instead. He constantly drives them to better themselves, but also warns them on a regular basis to not overdo it and that losing is sometimes okay, that you should not take things too far. As long as you keep standing up and trying again, you’ll get to the top eventually. That is Noir’s philosophy.

Appearance: Noir is an old man, and thus, has to walk everywhere via wooden cane. He’s always hunched over, which makes him appear a lot tinier than he actually is. Noir’s dorm uniform is constantly covered by a brown duster, like the ones you’d see in old detective movies. Noir’s one of the few people in the academy with a fully grown beard, but at the same time, also suffers from the unfortunate case of baldness by aging.

Deck: Generic Rank 4

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Harmonia United

OOC Information

1: The world isn't set in any continuity of YGO. Anime, manga or otherwise, this is a completely separate universe. Therefor, there's way less restrictions on what cards are plot-important and, thus, allowed to be wielded by the player characters. Still, there's a few ones we think are important to leave out;

• The God cards, the Wicked Gods and the Sacred Beasts. These cards are gods, anti-gods and corrupted gods respectively, and we believe they were a big enough deal to be a big deal in this universe too. Deal. Big deal.
• Z-Arc: The Dimension Dragons are all regular cards, but their fusion has a legendary status in this world. It's unbelievably rare, and the few who hold a copy have a hard time summoning him.
• Exodia: Exodia and his variants are more like a collector's item in this world. The few that have it don't like to play it, preferring to use a deck more tailored to them.

2: Duels are scripted and in a 4000 LP format. You will be expected to write up a skeleton first (here is an example from one of Ammokkx' past RPs) and then either write out the full duel via PM, Google docs, Pirate-pad or play-by-post in the thread.

3: If one of the dorms is taken, nobody else is able to play that dorm. However, if multiple people compete for the same dorm before one of them is accepted, we pick the best one instead of the first one.

4: There won't be a set decklist, but you will be expected to give use at least a theme for your characters to follow and some example cards to make that theme clear.

5: Each player will be allowed to create up to 6 custom cards, but this is a player-locked number. If you give all your customs to your main character, you would not be able to make more for your NPC's. Also, you will be allowed to use Anime cards as long as you get permission from both Satoshi and Ammokkx. This is per individual card, not a general permission.

6: Both OCG and TCG cards can be used, and only cards that are banned on both lists aren't allowed to be used.

7: Links, Link related cards and Cyberse monsters are not allowed.

8: Turbo, Action and Speed Dueling are not a thing as of right now. We might consider Turbo and Action dueling if there's a high enough demand, however.

Harmonia United: A(nother) Yu-Gi-Oh RP

Alright, so to explain the scripting part, I'll use an example I've showed to a few others already. It was used for a different RP which is already dead by this point. The other guy's deck was pretty bad, so I had it so we scripted the thing so he didn't get to be shafted while my character dominated. I make all my scripts in a google doc, but there's other options such as PMing it or making it in a pad.

Here is the actual script.

Of course, you can't post this in a thread and call it a day. After you've got your script, you've got multiple options. Either you make like Plum and play-by-play it in the thread (not a fan of it myself, but unless sat says otherwise, I'm not going to stop people from doing it), you can PM your posts to each other or you can set up a pad or google docs and collab it that way. I've done every method under the sun, they all have their ups and downs.

Name:
Taka Tsuin / Taya Tsuin

Talent:
SHSL Cross-dresser

Gender:
Taka is a male persona, Taya is a female persona.

Appearance:
Taya / Taka has amber eyes and waist-length beige hair. They stand at 1m69 and share the same general build, but the similarities end there for whatever persona they don at the time.

Taya leaves her hair untied and lets it flow freely. She also wears just enough makeup to make her eyes, nose and lips look a little smaller but not enough to make you notice she's wearing any at all. Her style of clothing is very much everything she deems cute, with the clothes she prefers always being some kind of sailor or school uniform. On her feet are always pumps, never any heels or sneakers. Black skirts and white blouses are her go-to standard, although she actively avoids showing too much skin so she can hide herself. Her voice is rather high pitched and clearly feminine.

Taka, on the other end, dresses more masculine. He ties up his hair into a low ponytail so it doesn't stand out as much as Taya likes to have it, but still applies makeup. His makes it so his jawline is more pronounced and make the eyes stand out, giving Taka a more imposing and hostile look as opposed to Taya's cuteness. He often wears brown & black male school uniforms and suits to hide his body in, but his shoulders are noticeable broader than Taya's. He also likes to wear very business, or just plain old-fashioned, shoes. His voice has a medium pitch and is clearly that of a male's.

Personality:
They act differently based on the persona.

Taya is a very sweet and gentle person who has everyone's best interests at heart. She can be a bit of an airhead and doesn't pay much attention to detail, but her bubbly attitude makes her very sociable and tolerant. She's very easy to get along with and it takes quite a bit of effort to upset her, but her trusting nature also makes her naïve. She prefers to think with her emotions rather than her head, so whenever people start fighting Taya will try to act as a mediator and defuse the situation.

Taka, on the other hand, is foulmouthed and abrasive. He'll constantly try to push everybody away from him and dislikes interacting with other people. He's a very logical but also nihilistic thinker, constantly pondering about everything and everyone. He's got his head on straight, but is relatively easy to anger if you get confrontational with him. He has an easier time concentrating and thinking logically compared to the Taya persona, but his lack of social skills make him a terrible diplomat.

Backstory:
Taya/Taka have practically been cross-dressing since birth. Even back in Kindergarten, they'd dress up as a male one day and a female the next. At first the kids thought they were twins, alternating one day after the other, but as Tsuin grew older people started to realise it was the same person dressed in different outfits. The female persona always garnered a lot of attention and was doted on by everyone, while the male persona was often left ignored and even bullied. Still, they soldiered through life and had nothing much to complain from when it came to their parents, as they were very accepting of the nature of the cross-dressing. Their life wasn't particularly exciting, but the family got by and was relatively happy with each other.

Taya/Taka can often be found writing a letter to themselves, sometimes a bit coarser and other times a bit sweeter, as a strange hobby. They keep each of these letters like a diary, recording their daily activities without fail.

Alright, I can take another RP and would like something to fill the gap of waiting. I'm going to PM my sheet though and edit it into a form I want the others to see after(if at all) it would be accepted.

I guess this is about the right time to confess I totally forgot to save the earlier recommended icons for new pilots/werks.

If you still have them somewhere, rage, post them again if you would? This time I'll not forget to save them.

Harmonia United: A(nother) Yu-Gi-Oh RP

I'm the same as Sat when it comes to Turbo dueling. As cool as it is to drive around on one of those things, the island's a bit of an ill-fit. We'd consider it if there was a big enough demand, but it would also be without speed spells most likely as it just adds another layer of complexity that isn't really needed.

I'd also say no to Action Dueling because while the tech is there, it often felt like an excuse to get lazy with the duel writing in Arc-V and I doubt it'd add much here either.
