It feels like I missed the Hype Train a Long Time Ago. There's plenty of room for this Baki character, but anyone want to spare a side of their dorm for Mayu?
My characters have an added mechanic of having a VN progression tree that leads to gaining their affection if you choose to pursue it. That being said, as you progress through them the way to 'hit the flag' starts requiring a bit more guesswork. See below for details.
I also wrote my second character to have a minor sway over the opinions of some nameless NPC characters. It's mostly there to lead into her story/create some interesting scenarios than intended powerplayting. I want to see if GM is okay with it before starting to post. It's OK!

History:
Baki's family were refugees to Turkey when a war tore apart their home country in the 90's. Baki was born in a tent somewhere near the City of Ankara in a refugee camp. For as long as he could remember his family was going about all over the place, across the middle east. A good chunk of his life is something that he wishes he could just forget about.
His family's longest refugee stint had them in the care of Japanese Aid Workers, and they taught him how to speak their language as an exchange for helping out with duties in the camp. During times of conflict, Baki was savvy enough to not let himself get sent off into the front lines, and was adept at making himself disappear in situation where the odds were against him. He self educated himself with tidbits of knowledge in the bombed out libraries, schools, and raided Refugee Camps with what scraps of knowledge he could find. Learning about the outside world and it's advancements made him convinced that there was something out there beyond the constant wars and battles that he lived through from day to day.
Fast forward a few years - and after a deal he made on the eve of the Allied Invasion of a Certain Middle Eastern Country, Baki was able to immigrate to Japan 'Under the Table' so to speak. He enrolled into some of the more prestigious schools in the country, and managed to get Koukou through passing the tests like everyone else. Despite his foreign look, and brash mannerisms, his fluency in several languages such as Japanese and English is surprising, though he still habitually talks in a bit of a militaristic flair.

History:
She was a 'happy accident' between a Drunken Japanese Businessman and an Equally Drunken Female Businesswoman. The two were already married to different people, but the woman was against aborting the child. The two hastily came up with an agreement to frame this mystery child as a 'long lost relative' on the woman's side, and an 'adopted child' for the man. Mayu cycled between the United States and Japan through much of her life. Her current cycle will allow her to complete high school in Japan. Mayu had originally wished to just continue onto High School in the States. However, it was at her father's insistence that she came back to Japan. By her grades, Mayu should not have been able to get into the school, on account of her bad skills in written Japanese, but her father pulled a few strings to get her in.
Though Mayu moved back between two countries for much of her life, she gained a nack for making friends rather quickly. Typically be being most approachable, and targeting clumps of people and putting them together, Mayu was able to form the core of various 'agglomerations of people' through her school years. Mayu's mannerisms and Aura made her someone who was easy to talk to - not someone you had to put a front for in order to approach. Mayu always made it a point to never ascend too high on any social hierarchy - largely to avoid the subtle politicking that happened to the people that were up there. Thus she was just a normal girl that everyone seemed to know - and in return she knew a little about everyone.
Still, in the background Mayu does have some bad habits. In her quest to always keep conversations, she gained a knack for making up rumors, sometimes bad ones. Her policy of keeping things on the down low meant that once they got out the person who originally came up with it would become too ambiguous to pinpoint back to her. It's one of her nasty habits to spread bad rumors about people who offend or irritate her. Getting her so called 'payback' while keeping her same nice and normal girl facade. On the flip side, she is also capable of casually spreading out rumors that can actually benefit the rumored person. She secretly did this shift around the top tier of the social hierarchy in middle school to her liking. This little talent of hers isn't the only thing she's got in hiding however. There also lies the real reason she came to this particular school...
Relationships:
(It Should Go Without saying that these are all written in character, so no need to worry! Though she says she's apprehensive towards some characters I won't necessarily always run away from you.)
- Hilda Narina - "She's one of the members of some band at school, she seems more interested in girls than guys."
- Shigeko Furukawa - "A member of the Bourgeois that I should probably steer clear from"
- Kawaguchi Akira - "He's weird."
- Mana Kada - "She's on the Swim Team."
- Kadakawa Yuuto - "Though He's a Judo Star Champion, he's also a ruffian who beat up some classmates and is also a lecher on top of it. At least, that's what the most interesting rumor says."
- Sakura Momoiro - "She's the lead vocalist in this band at school. I don't know if they're good, or how popular they are exactly. Either way, I should probably avoid this one too."
- Katsumi Yukimura - "They say she looks quiet, but can get nasty if you make her mad."
- Jean King - "There's not much stuff about him out there. Someone said he likes music, but that can pretty much apply to everyone nowadays, right?"
- Miyamoto Megumi - "Oh Man! She's pretty low on the food chain it looks like. There's some pretty scary stories about her out there."
- Andre Beaulieu - "He's From Belgium, accent and everything."
- Akuma Ayaka - "Hm...! (Laughing) She makes it way too easy!"
- Mirabelle Orand - "It's rather odd seeing someone who looks so Japanese Speaking French. I really want to see her say Baguette in her French Voice."
- Hirabayashi Hiraku - "He's a student who hasn't seem to have done anything to stand out thus far."
- Baki Asuman - "Another one of those smart foreigners. I heard he came from the Middle East."
- Mikan Uchida - "She must've skipped a few grades. She's way too hyperactive to be at High School Age."
- Robert West - "It's typically my policy to stay away from the wealthy ones, but uh... Maybe I'll make an exception if I get the chance."
- Imogen Keyrair- "She owns one of those!? Has she not seen the ghost documentaries? A fraction of them start off with people messing with those dangerous things!"
- Adrian Vaughn - "I don't get the best vibes around this one sometimes. I personally think he's kind of creepy because of it."
- 'Aria Navi' - "Wait, she has the exact same face structure as Adrian? That's peculiar, isn't it?"
- Seraphina Trinity - "A prime example of someone who's probably going to die alone. Just kidding! Her midlife crisis episodes make for good entertainment though. She seems to be a little irritated when I talk in class sometimes. So I usually poke the most fun at her."
- Tsubaki Ai - "The school's resident 'Love Maniac'. She's also in the gossip scene but purportedly has a specialization in Romantic Endeavors. Her repertoire is supposedly impressive based on what some folks say."
- Isabella Masamoto - "Masamoto-chan is like a doll! It's too bad she seems to have a bit of an aversion to people in general - acting sourly towards people who try to approach her."
