"The RP where The Broken May Save and Redeem, Together"

Forward:

You are a felon.

Sometime in your life you were proven to have committed a serious crime. Whatever the reason may have been, you have been found guilty, and must serve due punishment for the crime that the state has found you guilty of.

Because you are a minor, however instead of getting sent to a prison, you are being sent to a special 'prison school'. This School, located on an island far out in treacherous waters is where you will spend the duration of your sentence (as a minor) participating in the NEXT Program.

The aim of this program is meant to subject you to a real world environment where you will have to manage your school life as well as forge out a living. Your job, is to remain in good behavior and to support yourself for the duration of your sentence at Hisakawa, and to grow into an active and positive student in your 'class'. In essence, you are a working student.

You are given a room, as well as a phone that gives you electric access to your electric wallet, used to purchase amenities such as food, or use of recreational areas, or even places of study like a library. It also gives you access to a 'superpower'! If you figure out how it works, you'll find yourself having a huge advantage!

Live! Learn! Mingle with your fellow students and interact! Together you'll face challenges and run into disagreements! But through perseverance and understanding will you be able to grow and graduate! If you do particularly well, you sentence may even be shortened, allowing the day after your graduation to be the day that you're once again free and ready for the outside world! The key is to have a fulfilling school life!

But, if you fail to show progress, or even worse, Regress...
Then to avoid having you become a stain upon the prison system, or even worse, society itself.
Your life will be forfeit to save resources.

RP Intentions!

The Hisakawa RP Meta-series is meant to allow for a varied and meaningful character interactions. It also believes in the idea that the facets of our lives can sometimes be up to chance and random. But at the same time, our sentiments to that randomness is what gives everything a sincere and important meaning.

For this reason things such as how your character feels towards other characters, as well as facets of their life (in this case, the felony they committed) are decided entirely at random when you sign up. This gives you a bit of a skeleton of a character to build details around at your discretion, and lots of material to potentially act out in the IC.

Actions in the RP can also be decided on chance too. Dice rolls can be called upon when your character performs important actions! Bringing tension with the possibility that something can go one way or another!

Hisakawa has always been about challenging you to act out your character in many different and varied situations. I'd like to invite you to be a part of this long running but ever interesting 'experiment'!

Hisakawa's Special Thingies!
Relationship Rolls, Feats, Grade Stats... These are all a bunch of tools and details to forge an interesting story with your character's actions. All of Hisakawa's most unique features are detailed out here.

Please be sure to read it, as you will be directed back here if you ask a question that was plainly
answered here.

Overview: Given Information Actions: Feat Rolls Actions: Iris Filter Progression: Prosperity Progression: Titles and Curses Progression: Preparing for Second Cour!

Hisakawa Institution is built into a secret base built for Operation Valkyrie, the invasion of eastern China in the event of the Third World War.

Overview: Given Information
Below is information about your character. With this, a character to fill out an detail is born! Note that the below is NOT A CHARACTER SHEET. Just the information that ties the RP's systems together.

Felony: This is the Crime Your Character is Canonically Convicted of. Just randomly decided based off of WIkipedia's listing of felonies. But note that this may very well implicitly decide a lot about your character!
Iris Filter: Accessed from your phone, your character's iris filter's exact purpose not immediately clear. But it tends to have some sort of correlation with the crime you committed. It reveals a 'truth' of the world when you look at things through the phone's camera.

Prosperity Level: This is how well your character is doing in terms of funding. Increase your prosperity levels to increase your character's chances of surviving and giving them access to things they want or need!
Titles: These are given out by a GM to reflect when your character does something notable. Mostly just done for fun.

Physical Grade: Your character's proficiency in vital physical feats, used for physical rolls such as fighting.
Intuition Grade: Your character's proficiency in vital nonphysical feats, this is used for non-physical rolls such as persuasion.
Luck: Your character's measure of general fortune. You can use this value to perform a physical or nonphysical feat. However, you cannot use luck for this purpose twice in a row. Also effects other things related to them...

First Impressions: A given list of other characters in the RP. These are a set of impressions your character has in regards to that person after a month or so of being around them. Use this as a starting point in your relations with them! Note: You must keep this updated as more characters are removed and added. Failiure to do so will lead to reduction of your prosperity, which can lead to grave consequences for your character beyond your control!
The Schools' Disciplinary Butai is the Arms and Sword of Sempai's will, and the enforcement of their rule. Ensuring peace and control in the upper levels of the Institute Complex.

In Character Actions: Feat Rolls
Feat Rolls are player attempts at performing an action whose outcome is uncertain. Remember how characters have Grades in regards to their Physical, Intuition, and Luck characteristics? These are utilized in Feat Rolls! The simplest way to explain it is that major actions such as getting into a fight with someone, or trying to persuade someone, or even something like playing an in character game of chess, can all be associated with a Grade Characteristic of a character! That grade characteristic is used to determine the chances of success in a following dice roll.

The Grade Characteristics, and their Associated Probabilities are listed below:

A - 50% success rate (1/2)
B - 33% success rate (1/3)
C - 25% success rate (1/4)
D - 13% success rate (1/8)
S - Practically Guaranteed success rate. This is applied to NPC and GM Characters.

Note that Success Means Hitting the Number 1 when you roll.

Most of the time, these actions will fall into either the Physical or Nonphysical category. Which directly correspond to the Physical and Intuition Grades respectively. Additionally, the Luck grade is a wildcard of sorts. It's value can be used in place of Physical or Intuition roll. So a lucky character who is otherwise unlikely to do well in a situation can try to use Luck to improve their chances. So Luck can replace a grade stat. But not twice in a row. (you must do a roll normally the next time).

When do I Perform a Roll?
Lets give you an IC situation:
The school menace has your best friend by the neck and is holding them in the air. Oh no! That person is now walking to the window! Threatening to lob them out the window! Something has to be done or else your friend will get seriously hurt, or even worse!

The Critical Requirement
How would you go about resolving this situation? Suppose you decide that you're going to try to stop this person by taking hold of them and stopping them - or maybe you're going to land a clean strike to their head to knock them out cold. Notice something? Aside from the fact that it's obvious this falls under the Physical category of Feat Roll there is also something more important. There is an obvious action performed and intended outcome of that action. This is a critical requirement for a Feat Roll as it allows the GM or Player Character to know what kind of outcome to write. Of course, once you have made all that clear in your post, you post your post, then 'roll a dice' on that new post and let the statistics do their work! Remember to make that dice roll based on the character's respective Grade Category!

Think of the Possibilities!
But you know... just knocking that person out is sort of boring. Suppose you actually listened to what was going on. The bully is mad because they believe your best friend hurt the kitty cat that lives out by the library and he's out for blood! Honestly, you have no idea who hurt it but you know it's not your friend! It's obvious that someone is trying to set your friend up, and beating up that bully will only make things worse! What if you tried to persuade them that it wasn't your friend? What if you convinced the bully that the cat must've just gotten itself hurt, or better yet, if that narcissistic pretty boy the next class over did it? If you were successful in that kind of roll, what kind of interesting things would happen then? Be sure to consider the potential results or backlash of whatever action you take. As the world will no doubt be affected by it.

Be Reasonable!
What if you used your persuasion power to convince the bully to jump out of the window themselves instead? No that's not going to happen. Make sure your action makes sense in context. The GM reserves the right to negate an attempt deemed illegal or inappropriate.

Be Responsible!
Fudge it, I'm just going to persuade them but not roll! And then the GM messages you to make a roll for persuasion. Again, the GM reserves the right to request the player to make a Feat roll if the action they're attempting is deemed to need one. Failure to comply can lead to the GM having your IC posts ignored.

You could theoretically get out of rolling a Feat Roll by having your character but that'd be your character pretty much doing nothing, it's all about that initiative!

What is Initiative?
Initiative in the name of a rule saying "you cannot try to "counter a successful roll with a new roll of your own." Meaning if someone fights you, and they are successful, then the fight is already decided. You can roll an attempt to escape, but the fact that you lost is set in stone at that point. For that reason, it can be said that the rp rewards pro-activeness as opposed to passiveness!

In Summary the Important Things to Note of Feat Rolls
- A Feat Roll Should Be Done When Appropriate.
- Luck can replace a Grade Stat, but not twice in a row.
- The Attempted Feat should make sense In context.
- You can only perform a Feat using each Grade Stat once per in character day.
Tribals are composed of students whom were ousted out of the academy, and were able to survive. A student who is able to prove themselves capable are saved from being turned into a meal.

In Character Actions: Iris Filter
Though the Adults call it a Superpower, the Camera App on Students' assigned phones is informally known as the Iris Filter among everyone else. By looking at the world through their phone's camera, a 'Truth' is revealed. The only problem is that the meanings of what they see isn't immediately clear. But if you figure it out, you'll have a very powerful query tool!

Using Your Iris Filter
The Iris Filter is handled by the GM. When using it, one needs to be aware of where they are and the characters present in a scene. To initiate the Iris filter, your most recent post must clearly mention that you had your phone out. Then, in the Discord, you ask the GM in a 'Private Message' to request an Iris Check, along with giving the location your character was at, at the time. It would look like:

Iris Check Request - My Character's Name
[Hisakawa Institute, Second Year Building, Third Floor Dressing Room]

Please use this format, as it helps make the GM's life a little easier!

After the request has been made, the GM will confirm the request. The players of characters that were in that scene will receive a message much like this.

Iris Check Inquiry
[Hisakawa Institute, Second Year Building, Third Floor Dressing Room]
(Who is the Person You Love?)

The Iris Filter feature is a reason why joining the discord server is a bit of a requirement. Please remember to answer the inquiries! The first couple of times you fail to return an inquiry within a day, it will presume the character making the query couldn't make out what they saw of your character causing an error. But if the GM finds that you are purposefully avoiding queries or too inactive, then the GM will message you back with what your character's answer was. This could be really bad if the GM randomly decided who your character was in love with! Worse of all, it would be treated as canon thereafter.

Finally, once all inquiries are returned, the GM sends the compiled results to the person who made the request. It is given as an explanation of what their character saw through their phone and will be up to them to decipher.

What if I want to be sneaky?
You can't. At the start your character is assumed to have no idea how their Iris Filter works, so it's presumed that taking sneak shots with other people is wholly useless to them. But, once they figure out how their Iris works, and if you can correctly explain back to me (the gm) how their iris works, then certain possibilities open up...

As is stands, the Iris Filter from my standpoint is a bit of a gimmick for the RP. But, if everyone makes use of it, and don't make it a headache for me to manage, then we may see it getting expanded upon.

How much can I use it?
You might also notice that Handling Iris Filter queries is a bit of work. So, I do reserve the right to deny Iris Filters by returning an Error 404 to a query request. What is basically means is I can't handle the amount of requests being made please try later. At most I can expect to only be able to handle 1 or 2 Iris queries at a time until I find a better system to do it, or just get better at it.

In Summary, the important things to note about Iris Filters:
- Your character will have to decipher what their Iris Filter shows on their own.
- Be sure to use proper format when requesting an Iris Query answer Iris Queries in a timely manner. Or face potentially uncomfortable canon decisions.
- Ehb can't handle too many Iris Queries at once and no one wants to see too many queries coming in. So please be mindful of that!
Students who are known to posses the highest qualities in things such as physical prowess or intellect are known as Rank S students. Before the start of the store thirteen of these students hold power in the school and are ranked accordingly. They're informally known as the Thirteen Kai.

Character Progression: Prosperity
This is all about how well off your character is within the setting. First let's talk about how Prosperity works from the in Canon perspective.

Your character starts the story out with a Phone with it's Superpower and the Electric Wallet with a basic starting amount of money. They also have a basic room with a bed, landline phone, water, and electricity. In order to go beyond these basics, and to also have money to buy food rather than forage for it, they'll canonically have to get a job within the institute. Along with this they'll also have to keep up with their schooling as well.

However, posting about your character working their job or studying is counter intuitive to what the RP wants to do. So the measure of how well your character is doing - known as their Prosperity - is measured in one simple way. How much you post.

It's so simple that it can be explained in this paragraph:

If you manage to Match near the same Amount of Posts the GM Made in a Month, then your prosperity level will go up. If you are noticeable lower than that amount, then your prosperity will drop. If your prosperity falls to Zero, then canonically your character was unable to sustain themselves, and are removed from the RP.

So I can post moar then?
Yes! You can post more than the Gm and potentially have your Prosperity go up by two levels as opposed to one. But no more than that. Beware though, I still expect those posts to be of good quality. If you're making one off - two sentence replies then you will get a message from me that you will not want to get.

Can I make up Posts?
You can gain up to 2 prosperity increases per month. There is no such thing as 'making up lost points'.

Can we also do Collaboration (Collab) posts?
Yes. In fact, when it a situation where you're having a heated discussion or involved scene with one or two others it's encouraged to do a collab post. While I won't disclose the amount, Collab posts do contribute a good amount to helping your prosperity go up. It can also be used to help players who are lagging in post count too. Note that I do frown upon people trying to do a collab with GM characters unless it's story related/reasonable to do so.

Finally, remember that keeping track of your post counts for the month is your own responsibility. Please do not ask me to go and count them for you.

Ultimately Prosperity Serves as the Measure of Progression in the RP. Moving up each prosperity level in the early stages unlocks certain features as well as mark upcoming story events. For example, 'Prosperity' at a certain level can be used to improve your characters Stat Grade in order to increase your chances of success in Feat Rolls. Within canon, it can also have an effect on what sort of things can potentially happen to your character, and serve as a basis for potential plot. Your post count kind of represents how hard your character is working behind those story scenes.

More details on how to 'Spend' Prosperity will be made available later on when it becomes available.
Sempai is the number one patriarch at Hisakawa. Having toppled the previous student regime that ruled the institution. Their true identity is unknown to all those except those closest to them.

Character Progression: Character Titles
As the RP progresses and as your character grows and does various things, they may earn Titles that help mark their achievements. Titles are awarded by the GM and kept track of by the GM as well, so there isn't any real need to worry about having to edit your character sheet with them. To view your titles, simply look at the Start Menu channel on the Rp's Discord.

As a reward for people who stick with RP's I've ran, characters can also earn (Costume) titles which gives them a 'different outfit' that they have access too. Most notably, people who follow me through RP's I run gain access to Costume Titles that let their character's cosplay as their old characters. Again, it's mostly just for fun and blingy points!

By default, characters are equipped with the most recent story title they've earned. You can request to 'equip' a different title by talking with the GM.

Curses are typically a type of title most often doled out by Kuu, the GM character fortune teller. A curse forces a particularly unfortunate occurrence to occur each in character day to the affected character. A curse can be removed... at a price.
The Tech Club at School develops all sorts of apps and unique uses for assigned phones. Their pride and joy is a bunch of such phones tied together in order to function as a high end gaming computer.

Character Progression: Preparing for Second Cour!
I'll be straightforward and say this: The Philosophy of this RP's story planning is to assume everyone else is just passively an NPC in the background. Meaning, I expect people to drop, but that won't hurt the Rp's ability to continue since the main players (GM Characters) are still active. The aim of this thought process is to make the RP more resilient.

If you want to get the most out of the RP. Just participate. Post and get involved, and I'll start investing in increasing your character's importance in the plot. It's not just your character's relation to GM characters but also to the other players as well. Go out an interact! If you want to stick to being passive and commenting in the background that is totally okay too as long as you still post as regularly. But don't be surprised if it seems like I treat you as a background character due to acting like a background character.

But most importantly, the one takeaway is that the tone of this part of NEXT's story is of Introducing everyone as well as exploring the facets of this strange and peculiar setting. Don't be afraid! If you're uncomfortable just post and see what happens next! The True Story that Next wishes to tell can wait. For now, try to piece together a fun and fulfilling school life!

But, just to keep you excited, in VN style, Second Cour pulls back time into the RP to a certain point. At that point, a special detail that's omitted from the first run of the story is brought to light, changing things dramatically. The hope is that the things learned from the first run will help the cast find a true happy end.

But, always remember this very, very, well:

happy endings are never guaranteed.

Character Signup: A Back and Fourth Process!
Signing up for next requires a bit of back and fourth with the GM. There are three steps that must be followed in order to be successfully signed up. Please note that this is all written in order to make the 'complicated' sign up process simple if you just read and follow through this.

Note, that I do reserve the right to deny applications for any reason. The easiest way to having your application denied is by clearly showing me that you didn't try reading any of this.

So, with that out of the way:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Step 1: Name and Roll!
This Initial Post decides some basic important information about your character. You will also perform a set of four dice rolls for your character. These dice rolls will decide your characters 3 Grade Stats, as well as determine the Crime they committed. How this is determined is S.E.C.R.E.T.

The dice roll is with a die of 24 faces. Roll it 4 times!

This little writing bit seems to be notoriously hard for some people, so please be sure to have a clear image of who your character is before taking a shot at this! Maybe save this for last even! As for the 'topic' of this monologue: "What is it that Gives A Person Value?"

Starting Character Grades
Physical Grade: Character's Physical Capacity and Skill at the start
Intuition Grade: Character's Ingenuity and Speech craft at the start

First Impressions: A list of all the other characters in the RP and how your character feels about them after a month (when the RP officially starts). This gives you an idea of how to act when you first meet, but whether you follow it or try to evolve the relationship into something else is totally up to you! Note that first impressions are mutual meaning if you have a good impression on someone, they have a good impression of you! Must be given in your character's own words, no copying the default description, and it is the ONLY item in your public character sheet you need to keep updated!

Also note, at the RP's start First Impression Rolls will be rolled after the first set of character sheets (from the Test Run Period) are posted in order to have them all done at once at the start.

For Reference: The First Impression Pool:
For reference, first impressions can be divided into two broad categories. Positive, and Negative. Below is the pool for first impressions that will be rolled. You will have impressions of every player character in the RP, and you will be responsible of detailing out your impressions of other characters and keeping them updated as they change or as new characters are added.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GM ROLLS FIRST IMPRESSIONS FOR YOU.

If you were in the previous Hisakawa, you might notice that the pool is much more simplified this time around. This is done on purpose, to challenge you to really have your character fill in the details of each impression. Also, because everyone's only known each other for about of month in the story.

Positive Impressions:

Strongly Positive

Positive

Weakly Positive

Negative Impressions

Weakly Negative

Negative

Strongly Negative
(Optional) Extra Info Section:

This is extra information that's optional.
Character Theme: Your character's Musical Theme for those Important Scenes.
Character Voice: Your character's voice actor. Giving people a bit of a better idea of how they sound.

PLAN

Standing for "Please Let me Advance Notice!" is a way to show me that you have an intention to see your character grow and develop in the RP. These are a couple of questions worth at least considering When making your character, and thinking about how they'll play through their life in the RP. This section is also entirely optional but I do hope you at least think about it. If you do choose to fill this section out, it helps me have an idea as to how you want your character to be handled when they start becoming more involved.

Character Storyline Theme: This can be a simple one liner or it can be an epic that explains things in depth. What is your character about? Are they about "Friends are more Important Than Anything?" or "The Only Person You Can Ever Trust is Yourself?". Answer this and you'll find that parts of the story will try to ask these questions.

Key Flaw: Something your character has to overcome. Do they have no value for human life? Are they haunted by the crime they committed? The key to what will bring your character salvation lies in this key flaw. Alternatively, it's the trait that they stayed true to until the bitter end.

Again, this section is optional. But please consider the possibility that even having an idea about these qualities towards your character will give them and yourself a drive to post enthusiastically!
Step 3: Post Public Character Sheet into the OOC!
After making any requested edits, Ehb OK's Your Character Sheet, you will be notified by PM. You will be given your character's Eye Cutout (used to further help identify them in posts), their First Title, as well as be instructed to post your Public Character Sheet in the OOC Thread. Once posted, you're good to go! Go fourth to enjoy a fulfilling school life!

Note that in order to keep track of signups, I will leave the signup PM thread after I OK your character. Your character's personal information will be kept on file, however. If it is changed, please let me know. Further communication should be done through the Discord, or a New Iwaku PM thread.

Remember, your Public Character Sheet has some information from the Full Character Sheet Omitted. An example Public Character Sheet Would Look Like This:

[fieldbox=Kagami, turquoise, solid]

"Anything Can Become Right If You Can Be Convinced It Is."

Character Color: Dark Cyan

Given Name: Kagami
Age: 17
Date of Birth: 1, October
Height: 149cm

Likes:
Organization - Orderliness ensures that everything goes off with a minimal chance of some unknown causing a problem. Kagami likes minimizing problems.

Discipline - Behavior and Organization go hand in hand. They have a very particular morning routine that sees them do things by the minute. They accomplish more in one morning than most people do in an entire day.

Loyalty - Viewing the classroom as their own organization, unwavering belief is a must. Anyone trying to play lone wolf is ultimately put in line or removed from the equation entirely.

War Movies - The best ones are the old ones with the stock sound effects and cheesy acting. Kagami seems to find them to be quite amusing.

Dislikes:
Ambiguity - Ambiguity means you're hiding something. The fact that you're hiding something mean's you're probably up to no good. If you're up to no good, then you will reveal what you are hiding before or after the interrogation.

Sweets - Does not sit well with their stomach. Sweets makes them feel float and unfocused. Might as well give them a pint of alcohol.

Bone-In Fish - Those tricky bones! Kagami once got a bone stuck in their throat for a week. They've avoided bone-in fish like the plague ever since.

Taller People - Their shortness and appearance makes people wonder. Kagami's been asked out by more tough looking people looking for a 'little princess' to protect more times than they'd care to remember.

Hobbies:
Black Marketeering - Kagami knows of and actively participates in the school's black market. Though no one knows for sure how much they're making off of it. Kagami's done a good job hiding it.

Business Education - Seeming like the teacher's pet during this class. Kagami talks at length about the in-and outs of running a business that even the teacher gets tired of it.

Physical Training - Desiring to train to become muscular enough to look tougher. They've trained every morning in the same routine since they arrived at Hisakawa.

Speech and Debate - Butts into people's arguments at their own leisure. They've ended heated exchanges on words alone.

Fears:
Fish Bones - "That bone was stuck for an entire week! Do you know how agonizing that was?!"

Stronger People - If Kagami's words fail them, there's little else they could do on their own. They are very aware of this fact.

Ants - Had the misfortune to have actually had ants in their pants. Is absolutely aghast at the fact that ants exist on this island out in the middle of nowhere.

Self Introduction:
"Loyalty is the most important trait anyone could ever hope for. If there was a single trait that was more important than anything else, worthy of being placed upon a pedestal, then I would choose loyalty every time. There is simply no contest. That is simply because many good traits are birthed from this single feature. Through it does many other positives come to light about a person, no matter who they are.

In a world where trust is the rarest commodity, people are naturally inclined to be distrustful of one another. Doubts arise between people, and what is where complications do arise. For example, when a person is in trouble the hope is that someone would help. But conflicts of interest come up for those with the power to do so. Can I do It? Is it worth it? Some may even wonder if it's a Trap. The place that I came from, thinking along those lines was entirely normal. But, with Loyalty, the answer becomes a definite Yes every time.

Everyone wants to have it. An unquestionable companion. Maybe that's the reason why Dogs are so prevalent in filling that desire. But an animal who depends upon you for food, whose species has developed into an instrument of amusement and companionship is a far cry of the productive and symbiotic companionship that Man and Beast served for one another for milennia. It was through that bond that the two became the most prevalent and dominant creatures in the world. The canine has most certainly earned it's place inhabiting a comfortable spot of being a pet. But, that bond is no longer as necessary or prevalent in a world where hunting or facing wild animals is no longer necessary.

In this day in age the hardest form of Loyalty to come by is that which exists between two people. That sort of Loyalty is even more important. The capacity of what a person can do is limited by the fact that it is one person. Any great endeavor requires effort beyond that, and any endeavor of that magnitude requires a temperament to see it through to the end. The line of work I once did was something that was easy to get disheartened with. If you didn't believe in what you were doing it was easy to retire and waste all of that effort. For that reason, I valued the people who were able to see things through, and I rewarded their Loyalty with mine own. From those relationships, many productive and successful things were born.

Loyalty truly trumps every other trait one could have. Through it, people become stronger. The Loyalty of a person is harder but much more necessary and rewarding in our current world. Finally, the birth of the most constructive, ambitious, and successful endeavors is secured through it; and I search for that trait in every person I meet."

Final Things to Note!

Remember that the only thing that you'll need to edit in your Public Character Post is your First Impressions, adding in new character's. Not keeping your Impressions updated can block you off from getting a prosperity increase that month.

As for everything else, including Character titles and changes in grade, those items are kept track of in the Discord by the GM. Located in a special character listing.

Rules and Guidelines
A Fabulous Guide that's been Copy Pasta'd From the Old One With Minor Adjustments!

Please make sure you read it. Even if you've been in the RP before!

General Rules

General Rules
Here are some simple rules and requirements

1. No godmodding, bunnying, metagaming and so forth

2. No playing another person's character without their permission or forcing another rper into allowing you to play their character

3. Make well-balanced and believable character aka no Mary Sues or Gary Stues

4. These types of RPs can become quite chaotic. If you notice that your conversation IC has begun to take up a considerable amount of space, please consider doing these things:
- slowing down
- taking the conversation to PM as a Collab
- waiting for the posts of 2 characters who are not in that conversation before posting to that conversation.

5. So that it is easier for people to find posts relevant to them, please tag that person at the end of every IC post in which one of their characters is part of the conversation or is otherwise involved in the post. (Like this: @Ehb )

6. Be respectful of all characters - if you have an issue with a character's sexuality, hobbies or anything else, feel free to leave. This does not apply to characters though, provided it is within that character's nature to be intolerant of those things.

7. Be respectful of everyone - no fighting or insulting in the OOC thread. If you must do this, take it to PM. Do not take out your frustration on that person's character either, or you will get a stern telling off.

8. Things of a nature beyond that of PG-13 should be RP'd within PM only. This must still comply with iwaku's rules on libertine. This is NOT saying that doing Libertine with an underaged/overaged user is OK.

9. Now, to prove that you have read the rules (yeah, sorry, I just had to include this).

Write down your character's character entry in the style of what you see in the Hisakawapaedia section, and send it to Ehb through the discord. If you do not do this you will be told to read the rules until you do so.

(Also be sure to introduce your character's name at least once in there, since the character entries will be denoted with your respective eye cutouts. No need to make up a GM poower or anything either. Just a pretty 'in-game' encyclapaedia entry.)

10. Follow the Suggested Posting Format when Posting In Character. See: Suggested Posting Format.

Communication and Absences

Communication is Important! - Please Keep the Discussions / Chatting in the Conversation Thread!

Please reserve the In Character thread for:

Roleplaying in Character

A Signup/OOC thread Will Be Made for everyone in the RP. Please use that discussion for:

Character Sheets
Sign Up Posts (such as the Character Roll Post)

General Questions About Signups or the RP In General
General Plot Discussion
Everything Else.

An additional chat platform, Discord, is required for use. As it serves as the primary OOC thread for chatting and communication from the GM to Players. A link is sent to you at some point in the Signup Process. The rules for the Discord Are:

Don't Post Malware/Evil Hyperlinks.
Keep General Chatting, re-posting, shenanigans in the #general_general channel.
Don't go posting the link to the chat anywhere or invite anyone else.
Please keep any drama or rage induced fits in the confines of personal messages. Because...
If your conduct is regarded as Toxic you will get Banned from the Discord all the way too being Kicked out of the RP in the worst case scenario.
Just enjoy the fact you can freely chat and discuss the RP in a semi-organized manner.
Finally, it's worth nothing that joining the discord IS MANDATORY,

If you have questions about the RP but don't want to 'commit' yet. you have may send me a personal message. Just make sure to include the RP's title in the message title, as well as be clear in what you want to ask me about in regards to the RP, and I'll be able to assist you to my fullest!

Announcing Absences
I do understand that everyone has IRL stuff, and it is indeed much more important than pretending to Japanese High Schoolers. However, please show me and the other RP's common courtesy when you know you're going to be gone.

'I'm Busy'
If you're going to be more inactive or gone for a while, consider letting us know about it beforehand. Saying when you're probably going to be back is also appreciated.

You can come back whenever you wish! Just announce it in the discussion!

'I Gotta Drop'
I am completely fine if you have to drop the RP. I am not okay if you drop, stop posting, and not say anything about it until I have to go sniffing you out myself.

Nextapaedia
This Contains Background information on the world's setting, and will (hopefully) have stuff added onto it as the story goes on. At the start this represents information your character might've been able to find out in the month up until the RP's in character officially begins.

Memorizing the Nextapaedia isn't any requirement or anything. It exists partially for fun, and to set in stone certain things in the RP that's already been established. Feel free to read through it to make your character more informed about their "school!"

Nexapaedia(?) Theme:

GM Characters

: A straight forward and honest young woman. Forta's transparent personality makes relatively easy to understand. With a strong desire to protect everyone in the class, she'd willingly put herself into harms way for another classmate's sake without hesitation. Her physical ability is impressive, and she's known to be quite resourceful using unlikely objects as weapons.

It would be hard to think of her that way just from first impression, though. At first glance she seems to be a clear headed student who keeps herself busy and productive. But at the first spot of trouble she can be merciless towards people who target her fellow classmates. Capable of defeating opponents that a girl her size has no business fighting against. Her one-sided heroism towards her classmates isn't without consequences, however. As her actions has drawn the ire of other entities in the school. Her strong sentiments towards her classmates can sometimes work against her as well.

Forta's special GM Assist Ability allows her to negate an action/roll that would bring harm to a fellow student once per day. Provided she's with that person at the time of the roll. With a Maximum Physical Grade Ranking of 'S'. Forta is one of the strongest characters in the setting.

@Ehb
: Kuuyari, typically just shortened to 'Kuu,' possesses a curious speech pattern and haughty personality. Considering herself a very classy young woman, she is quick to chide people for their ignorance and failings. She is most well known for her infamous fortune telling and curse setting. Her seemingly supernatural qualities can be frightening to some people, to the point that some actively try to avoid her.

While her fortunes are not always particularly clear or concise, they do seem to come true in one way or another. Some people think it might have to do with her Iris Filter, but others are a bit unsure of that fact. She is also known for putting curses on people who annoy or inconvenience her by apparently taking away their very luck. But can someone really do that? Superstition aside, her general goal in life is to make money and live comfortably. Her 'S' Grade Luck is a force to be reckoned with in every aspect. The one thing that her luck was never able to help with however was her short height. Which she is quite sensitive about.

Kuuyari's GM Assist allows for player characters to request a fortune from her that reveals something that is supposed to happen to them within the day as well as it's 'Inevitability' rating. But the request must be done in character and sounds more like stock wisdom when people opt for the 'free' version of a fortune. She also possesses the 'Curse' mechanic, which forces a certain 'bad thing' to happen to an afflicted character every day until she is compelled to lift it.

@Ehb
: Don't let their modest stature and soft expression fool you. Kagami is fast attracting the attention of every other power in the school. In the month this student has been here, they have managed to loosely unite their particular class in the general understanding that they're going to have to work together in order to make it to graduation. This is very surprising, as it usually takes a few students dropping out and roughly half a year before an individual group of newcomers starts to realize the situation they're in. Kagami is the de-facto leader of the class, and a hot topic among those in power in the school. Though within the class they're most affectionately known as the 'Fun Police'

While the class has a good start understanding their situation, how to handle things moving forward together remains something they'll have to see. Kagami is determined to move the class up the School's Food Chain, even it it means working with each classmate one at a time. It's apparent that this silver haired student has some big ambitions - something that genuinely worries some of the people in charge. Kagami's leadership qualities comes to no surprise. Their Intuition Rank is among the highest at the school at a whopping Grade 'S'. They have fast picked up on the workings of the school and can learn things quickly, which they don't hesitate to relay to other classmates. Kagami is like a manager at a job - preferring to see fellow classmates do things on their own power rather than having to step in on their behalf. They also have a philosophy that if someone fails, then it is only right that they feel the backlash of their own actions. Which makes them seem heartless at times.

Kagami's specialty is in regards to their Persuasion Ability. Their GM assist allows a forced 'success' outcome of a persuasion attempt. Of course, there's never any guarantee they'll step into help unless it serves their purposes. No one knows definitively if Kagami is a boy or a girl. But considering their position in the class, people naturally just refer to Kagami as a male. Which seems to be the correct answer, as they hate being considered a girl.

@Ehb

Player Characters

: While for some at Hisakawa it is necessary for their cause of detainment to be deciphered, very few have a doubt that Akira belongs here for one reason or another. Confrontational in both his demeanor and manner of speaking, he very quickly turns acquaintences into either friends or foes. Speaking his mind and carrying himself confidently, some classify him akin to a gangster to which he doesn't necessarily reject. However, this does not mean he seeks ill intent on others nor does he search for conflict. Truly, Akira seeks companionship and social activity and in fact will rarely prefer solitude over company, if ever. His attitude just means that he will undoubtedly ruffle feathers as he will make others laugh. He certainly doesn't appear to hold an aversion to violence should it arise, however.

While rather rough-natured and cocky, Akira proves to be a loyal ally to those with thick enough skin and an eternal friend if made.

@EmperorsChosen
: The sort of outcast you could find anywhere, Banri is a below average student in all accounts, someone who simply doesn't mesh with large groups or figures of 'absolute' authority. Occasionally insightful, occasionally violent, this raven-haired youth cares little for mandatory group activities and does his best to avoid getting any sort of attention, negative or positive. A small group of friends is all he needs, people to shoot the breeze with until he gets tired of being social and retreats to solitude. Foul-mouthed and blunt, what reputation he has accrued is faintly negative while he remains obstinate about staying off the radar, regardless of whether it's a reward or a punishment that awaits him.

Despite this, however, the fates still conspire against his desire to be left to his own devices, a mixture of fortune, misfortune, and his past self working to pull this 'common delinquent' out of his comfort zone, to close the distance, to rid himself of the apathy he so carefully maintains. On the inside, perhaps, Banri is one of the more 'innocent' individuals in Hisakawa. God knows who makes this shit up though.

@ERode
: The local nutcase: Fuka quickly made a reputation for herself as the crazy girl constantly spewing nonsense. Although few people ever take her seriously, those who do may catch glimpses of an astonishingly rational intelligence, and it raises the question of just how intentional her crazy behavior is.

Relationships with Fuka tend to be very tense and confusing. A verbal backstabbing may be seen as admirable, where offers of friendship are taken as insulting or dull. Then again, they may not. There are also faint rumors of her harassing people with little-to-no provocation, though most people find it a little hard to believe, considering how she usually acts.

@Luma
: An odd boy, Hayato quickly gained the reputation of being a masochist and a nice guy that can't keep his nose out of trouble. And strangely enough, treats everyone with the same amount of friendliness despite how they may treat him.

More oddities are apparent to an observant eye. For example, Hayato, while being amicable and talkative, has never been seen cracking a joke. And while he will let people beat on him in exchange for not hitting the true target of their ire, he has been seen quickly refusing people who ask him for money.

@Illin
: Kazuko is a somewhat old fashioned sort, well spoken with a notable laugh. With a bit of scary eyes and edge to her demeanor she seems to talk a bit and observe the situations around her. Curiously not taking kindly to being observed herself, she often tries to keep order and seems very Patriotic towards Japan, or at leas it's past, culture and history. With a sharp mind and strong body, her luck seems to be rather poor most of the time.

Somewhat paranoid of others she'll often act towards the "greater good" or her own interests, violently at times. Mostly upfront and honest, she is far more likely to stab you in the chest with a look of rage to her face, than in the back with a smile. Curiously for whatever reason for such a seemingly ordered, emotionally controlled individual, Kazuko does not dispute the words of those like Kyuu. Unusually helpful if you can deal with her quirks and old world nature, Kazuko seems to be a person that supports order and prideful of the past. Overly interested in Sakura blossoms, Literature, Chemistry and Social Sciences, her violent aura can make her seem all the more sinister behind an emotionless face that conceals great violence.

Much like the Samurai of old, she is reserved yet honest, hostile yet civil, serving yet commanding. In someway at odds with herself, but to have peace is to prepare for war..

@RedArmyShogun
: Kuni is a young woman who believes deeply that other people can trust people. She is often told she's naive by other prisoners, but she refuses to change her mind. Quite a few people have no idea why a girl like Kuni is in prison.

Kuni enjoys playing her guitar, watching anime, and is in general a very sociable person. Her inner drive to do what's right burns fiercely, even if those morals are taken from anime. She will literally throw herself into the middle of a fight if she can, and will often leave the fight having taken more punches than dished out. Her innocence and sense of right and wrong are deeply contrasted with the rest of the school's inhabitants. She wants simply nothing more than to graduate with everyone and get along.

@Karyra
: Laura is a foreign girl with a goal-driven mindset. Generally careful and suspicious of others the rather cold and silent girl isn't one that easily trusts others, especially not criminal scum, but can prove to be an invaluable ally. While some may misinterpret her behaviour to be socially inept Laura simply tends to not at all much unless deemed necessary; giving the possibility for her to be an actual pleasant conversation partner if one can ignore her reminders about being more akin to something like business partners rather than actual friends.

Despite being a seemingly unfazed and level-headed individual Laura is also rather prideful. Already having shown rather spiteful behaviour if one managed to hurt her pride. Furthermore, she seems to take a great deal to be true to one's word.

@Skyswimsky
: Murasame is a girl of confusing things. She has the appearance and actions of a boy, and even some of the likes; but she wishes people would stop mixing her up with being male. She may be tall, she may wear pants and other "male" clothing items, but her most of her likes and hobbies are feminine if not traditional, maybe save for the few likes and hobbies that she keeps secret from general view. She is fiercely loyal and more then likely not too only one person. So she can be very jealous if she thinks someone is getting to close to the person she holds her loyalty too. Her loyalty is for sure is a clue into just why this strange masculine looking girl did what ever crime she may have done. Though she is rather aloof straying from the crowd for fear being noticed...yet she wants to be noticed...just what is with this girl?

She will sit down for hours with a brush pen in one hand ink in the other and a large black scroll poster in front of her for traditional painting style or calligraphy . She will lay down next to a tree as it cast it's soothing shadow over her as she looks at clouds and makes shapes with her artistic mind set. She will go through a garden and choose the most expressive and colorful flowers for one piece, such as maybe a pink Oncidium Orchid or perhaps a Night Phlox,or maybe the most dark and sad flowers for another, like a Dark Thorn Rose or an Anemone and touch it with a Blue Dick. Read a thriller story of maybe a alternative storyline featuring Jack The Ripper. She is obviously the one to contently be in one place forever, never bothering with the world outside her own, but because of her self induced isolation, she suffers from loneliness and her moral's and opinion on what is justifiable have twisted from the normal.

@Psychosis_Of_A_Yandere_Fox
: A brash hero of justice. Or so this particular girl claimed to be... Rinne is a girl with simple minds and would often throws herself in situations that she shouldn't be involved with. Protecting a so called victim of an evildoing. "The Blue Justice!" As she boldly claimed. Her self-title should be self explanatory, her hair is blue, and her act is an act of 'justice'. She also hates to speak lies to others.

Despite her stupidity, she proved to be a loyal friend. Unless said person did something evil in front of her. And though her physiques may not look like it, Rinne have a good luck within her side.

@LowDefinition
: Confident, Charming, Dapper, possessing a pretty face, and overall a gentleman. At a glance, one can perfectly summarize Ryuu using a single word, Ouji-sama.

He has a way with words that is eerily perfect for a guy his age, remiscent of host club workers, being able to transition any small talks into engaging conversations. When words fail him, he has a way to entertain people with well polished magic tricks. With his pretty face, prince-like persona, and smooth skills, he garnered himself quite a number of following, most of them being girls.

Get to know him better however, and Ryuu becomes more of an old housewife, with a dangerous penchant of gossipping for hours. He can often be found blabbering with his companions about just anything under the sun, from lame dad jokes to historical events. Ryuu is also easily amused and is prone to pop out a series of giggles. He finds the antics of people like Fuka and Edeir to be harmless fun. Currently he utilizes his arsenal of host skills for a part-time work outside of school, running the cafe "Chocolate" with his companions.

Although he is seemingly surrounded by friends and fangirls, Ryuu maintains some sort of wall that distances him from people in general. Sometimes he can be seen having a somber expression on his face while alone. What lies beneath that princely smile?

@Love
: Oft the one one meditating in quiet. Toru is one who is beginning to get looked to for small problems. Happy to help, but quick to disapprove of bad behaviour. He is one who is pushing others to strive for improvement in any area. Just don't interrupt him when he is meditating.

Even if he is often found messing around with the prison garden. Which as he often states, could be even better! Toru seems fully pledged to getting himself and others who try assimilated back to civilized people who can go back to society with full grace.

Of course, there are the little rumours that he has begun to step his foot into the lower levels of the prison.

@Rithas

Departed Characters

: Aster is a quirky, but kind young man. At a glance he might look odd but overall seemingly rather harmless other than the fact he likes to ramble on and on and talk everyone's ear off if they'll let him but after spending enough time around him it becomes quite clear he's a walking accident waiting to happen. He seems to have the worst luck but it also seems to be contagious to anyone around him. In the short time he's been at the school he's been causing disaster after disaster to everyone near him, causing him to not be very well liked by mostly everyone. The few people that for whatever reason don't mind the misfortune he brings upon them he values them as dear friends… even if the feeling may not be entirely mutual.

If you can look past he curse he suffers from he's average in every sense of the word, other than his appearance. His interests are similar to just about any nerd his age and he has no talents to speak of, unless you'd count having a vast closet of useless knowledge a skill. It'd be easy to forget he even existed if he wasn't such a chatter box. There might be more going on in his head than just anime and video games but if there is, he does a pretty good job at hiding it.

Fate (Player Re-Roll):

Aster had remained out of sight and out mind for so long no one seemed to recall who he was so whenever he unfortunately tripped over his own two feet and broke his neck falling down a flight of stairs no one was particularly bothered by this, unless they were upset they didn't get to loot his corpse for his phone.

Sometimes it's bad luck that kills you, not your fellow inmates.

@DurkPut
: At first glance, Takashi is a gentlemanly figure. Prolific with his speech and rational in his way of thinking, but overall friendly to those that approach him in at least a polite manner. Overall, he tends to take part as a spectator, jumping in here and there if he sees the need or is spoken to. Seems to have no issues with observing the chaos around him, though he claims favor overall peaceful negotiations. Unlikely to stick his neck out for just anyone unless he'll get something out of it. Appears to pride himself on his intellect with a fitness able to back his bark up most of the time, he rarely will take part in games of chance however, claiming that his relationship with lady luck is mediocre at best.

Often speaking in metaphors or riddles, Takashi seems to find some amusement in confusing others, though mostly prides himself on his ability to talk his way out. With an interest in world affairs and politics, he speaks much akin to the silver-tongued individuals on television, albeit a bit more outspoken as he isn't bound by public opinion. Believing there is a hierarchy to things, Takashi would prefer to be the one giving orders but is aware of his place and will act as a result, unless he sees an opening of course. Holding a stern sense of justice and while not religious, Takashi holds true to the "eye for an eye" principle and though he doesn't often make such statements clearly, one should be aware of his very long memory. Interestingly enough, he appears to have a sweet side unrelated to talking, valuing candy and other desserts.

All in all, Takashi remains to be a rather civil individual and someone easy to approach and converse with. Whether or not his pleasantries are an act or valid, one can be sure that he's someone they can talk to without worry of baseless violence. A snake rarely goes out looking for trouble, but will strike if it sees reason to.

Fate (Player Re-Roll):

The slit-eyed trickster seemed to always have a plot in motion. During the month where everyone nestled into their new home, Takashi's ambitions neglified such lazy behavior. He probably opted to get his own group going, just like the good old days before he was caught, but just like then when he was detained he either was too sure of himself or simply had rotten luck. Falling in as a "pawn" to a grounded gang, he must have spotted an opening to usurp the leader and take his place. Too bad there was a loose end he didn't notice. The first time this happened he got a pair of cuffs and a second chance, but this second chance of his wasn't as merciful. Be wary of stabbing someone in the back, for you just might put a target on your own.

@EmperorsChosen
: At first glance, Setsuko appears to be a cute and innocent girl who doesn't mind talking about her past. If one looks deeper, however, they will find a thoughtful young woman with a love for material things.

Seldom lifting a finger if she doesn't benefit from it, Setsuko usually depends on someone else to clean up her mess. That does however not mean that she is incapable of doing so herself, it just seems to be her way of testing out her friendships. She rarely forgets a favor, making sure to pay it back as quickly as possible. At the same time, Setsuko also rarely forgets people who have wronged her…

Possessing above average in all of her stats, Setsuko is a force to be reckoned with. At least, if one could just get her to act on their behalf as she would rarely do anything for free or out of "goodwill".

Fate (Player Departure):

By a certain chain of events, Setsuko's past was revealed. Showing that she had driven a student to suicide due to her selfish and manipulative nature. This reveal lead her to being ostracized be the class and much of the student population. Ruining her reputation.

She has not been seen since.

@Matizze
: To call Yukari a troublemaker would be an understatement, due to how contrived her plots for causing chaos can be. Many would immediately know anything out of the ordinary was most likely her doing but with her doe eyes and defenseless quality would they ever confront her about it? Outside of terrorizing the student body she is very passionate about the supernatural and unknown, going so far as to say her fellow classmates are creatures from fairytales in disguise. Once she's pegged someone as such she'll bother them to the ends of the earth to learn more about them and if she realizes they 'lied' to her… things aren't going to be very pretty.

Yukari can also be quite aggressive towards others as she is obviously very comfortable with smacking people around with her staff. She displays the same bull headed attitude in many aspects of her life. Needless to say, if someone were to get in her way she will very quickly move them out of it no matter cost.

Fate (Player Departure):

One of Yukari's plots ended up angering the wrong sort of people. After supposedly inciting a student to neglect their duties that lead to injuries for some local butai, Yukari was implicated as an enemy to the student population and was made to 'disappear'. The last anyone saw of her was her being dragged away by Butai Members. Struggling in futility.

@DurkPut

Minor Characters

: An inmate who died on the way to the school.

The Lifeboat Minerva took off the ferry tried to make out for sea as opposed to heading to the island. This directly lead to the boat being shot at and sunk. There were no survivors.

She had presumably proclaimed that she felt the plan would be successful. Leaving her slip to Kuuyari, who used it to their advantage later on.
: A classmate who got their phone stolen the first week of school.

Without their phone, Yoshie was unable to access their credits to purchase food or other necessities. Despite the class' best efforts to find the culprit and support them through the ordeal; one day, Yoshie left a letter and her shoes next to an open window in the classroom.

Forta took it upon herself to find the person responsible. Using Kuuyari's 'fortune' she persued and ultimately killed a boy in the topside gardens in front of her classmates. As it turned out, the boy she killed did have Yoshie's phone.
Ai: A girl with a striking resemblance to Kagami.

Forta and some others helped her after she was bullied by a group of inmates when they were sailing towards the island. Ai seems to take Forta's side a lot.

General Information

Phone/Wallet: Phone/Wallet
Students admitted into the school are given a phone. From this phone their allowance and the school's electronic currency, 'credit' can be viewed. Credit can be transferred to another student relatively simply.

The phone allows for calls to other students in the school's special mobile network, allowing for communication provided you know each other's phone number. The local school network is unable to get contact with the World Wide Web, and it's be a long time goal of the tehnology club to be able to find a way to freely access the internet. Other useful apps one could expect on the phone such as one to type down notes or setting a timer are still useable.

Students are encouraged to take care of this phone. While is is astoundingly hardy, once lost, the only way to get a new one is to take it from someone else..
The Test: The Test
The key to getting off the island.

The test is supposedly modeled after Tokyo University's entrance exam from the previous year. If you pass the test, you earn yourself a ticket off of the island, and your crimes are officially forgiven.

The only thing required to take the test is your phone. The phone model indicates what year you came to the island - any student whose phone is older than three years is allowed to take the test. The test is held bi-anually. On the first day of November, and July.

Of course, some students have been studying for years and still have yet to find any success.
The War: The War
While only remembered by older students, 'The War' refers to the confrontation between The Old Regime and the Current one. Historically, the 'new' people who came topside were mercilessly abused and taken advantage of by the senior students who lived in the lower levels. A band of students working together defeated the old regime in a war that was fought in the lower levels.

With the Victory of Senpai and the Thirteen Kai, the current peace and order that was once unheard of is now possible. The Butai were even able to mostly secure the first underground levels, allowing for students to begin 'colonizing' the lower tunnels that were once battlegrounds.
Senpai: Senpai
The leader of all student controlled activities within the institution. This ranges from having a monopoly on food distribution, as well as having the loyalty of enough influential and tough students so as to maintain order in the areas they patrol.

No one actually knows what Senpai looks like or who they really are, as their identity and orders go through a tight knit group of powerful students known as the Thirteen Kai. Regardless, their exploits, among the older students at the school, are legendary. Though them, and the Disciplinary Butai, Senpai is the undisputed Student Council President of the entire Institution.

Locations

Hisakawa Institute: Hisakawa Institute
A correctional facility in an undisclosed location built from the remains of what used be an military installation. Here, Juveniles whom have committed felonies are sent to here to be reformed through the NEXT program.

At Hisakawa, the government watches over the students' daily lives from atop tall walls and towers. Brave souls go into the school's facility to teach and provide certain required services such as basic food delivery, maintenance, and necessary medical treatment, and teach for the class, but otherwise all other aspects of the school are left up to the students in what can be called self deterministic anarchy.

The public knows little about Hiskawa. Like America's Area 51 being synonymous with Aliens and Strange government experiments, Hisakawa is known as a place where bad students are sent to be reformed, or die trying.
Hisakwa Institute - Topside: Topside (Hisakawa Institute)
This refers to the top part of the school. Here are the original dormitories and buildings for classes and other school related functions. This also includes the tall walls and that surround the facility that are manned by armed Prison Guards.

While the buildings look and feel old, Senpai has been aggressively charging to keep them maintained. The Gardens topside are an achievement and testament to the creativity of some of the prisoners. For what they lack in materiel they made up with ingenious placement and meticulous care in landscaping.

Topside truly reflects the vision of what Hisakawa tries to achieve. To create something beautiful when given practically nothing but one's own ingenuity.
Hisakwa Institute - The School: The School (Hisakwa Institute)
The school-building at Hisakawa. Going to class here is basically one's best chance at being able to leave the island. Students are allowed to attend classes here based upon their general year. However, whether they go or not is completely up to them. Many still go for the chance to ultimately pass The Test.

It has basic facilities such as a library (Whose Books are considered some of the most valuable items on the island, and are guarded fiercely by the Butai) as well as a computer lab which possesses one of the only satellite internet connections.

The school is quaintly kept, and feels immediately familiar to anyone hailing from Japan. The school is one of the few places that Prison guards venture into. As they do patrol the halls to protect the teachers and staff from the inmates.
Hisakwa Institute - The Row: The Row (Hisakwa Institute)
The row is home to the merchants of Hisakawa. From here, the goods that are controlled by Senpai are distributed according to Senpai's guidelines by the Merchants and their Army of Peddlers.

Rows of stores and offices that go up three stories. These haphazard structures were once barracks and storage depots that existed on the old military base. These buildings were then used as residences, and eventually as storage for supplies that come in for the inmates.

This eventually evolved into the part of topside known as 'The Row'. Named after the tall and narrow buildings crammed side to side. On Supply Day, when supplies arrive, there are long lines of students wanting to purchase necessities with their credits, as well as Peddlers picking up goods to bring to sale to their other storefronts, or even on foot!
The Underground - First Floor: The Underground (First Floor)
The first floor of the underground was started by military engineers many years ago as emplacements and fortifications that were never finished. When students discovered these incomplete constructions, they immediately took refuge to hide from the guards above.

Because of the "Self Determination" given to students by the guards, the underground became where students with power consolidated their resources and planned their schemes. As time whent on, tunnels further down were discovered and expanded upon, moving operations further and further away from the sight of the authorities.

After the war, the Underground was made open for new students to freely live. The Disciplinary Butai patrols this first level zelously, ensuring it enjoys about the same levels of safety as Topside.
The Underground - Depths: The Underground (Depths)
The Depths refer to the caves and tunnels that are not patrolled and watched over by the Guard or Butai. The lower levels were home to the original ruling student regimes of Hisakawa. Where they were able to do many an illegal and morally questionable thing with practically free reign. They would oft drag off newcomers from the upper levels to fuel the unspeakable things that they did down there.

The Thirteen Kai of the surface level and their Disciplinary Butai fought against the old Regime down here. Victorious, they shut down the lower levels and ousted the old Regime after defeating all their major leaders. It's rumored that the Depths still contain treasures and things of value left behind.

Regardless, the Butai discourage, very strongly, for would be treasure hunters to not venture downwards. As the Depths can also be populated with other hostile students performing illegal activities.
The Underground - Nameyard: Nameyard (Third Basement)
A large cavern that honors those whom had passed on in the Institute. It originally was made to remember the names of those who were lost in the war.

The walls are covered in the names of many different deceased. Since bodies are disposed of elsewhere, and often unceremoniously, this place stands as a location where they can be remembered by their fellow students.

Not everyone necessarily gets their name etched on the wall here. Most names added nowadays are of Butai Members who fell in the line of duty, though certain Kai, such as Rob, feels like the Nameyard shouldn't be a place to just exclusively remember those in the Butai either.
The Old Submarine Base: The Old Submarine Base
A man-made harbor built into a cave that once helped resupply submarines operating in the theater.

Informally known as 'The Base' the Guards operate from here. Food and basic supplies for students also come in from here. Though distribution of said supplies is somehow done through the students after the supplies arrive.

Students have tried, on many occasions, to tunnel into the Base in hopes of stealing a boat for escape or to gain acess to it's fabled armory with guns and ammunition. While many attempts were planned, the few that did get executed were always met with a very disturbingly mysterious end.

This hardened location could supposedly survive if a nuclear missile hit the island.

Factions

Merchants: Merchants
These are students charged with fair distribution of goods to the student population at hisakawa institution.

At certain times, a ship arrives with goods meant to be given to the inmates at the school. Due to the haphazard and self governing nature of the school, trusting distribution of these necessary items like imported food are controlled by the governing body of the prisoner population. This ultimately means that Senpai is the one who directly receives these goods meant for the students.

Senpai wished to create an economy within the school. Using the credits system on each students' assigned phone, they were able to purchase what they needed. Due to the volume of goods and students that needed to be serviced, the Merchants - tasked with fair distribution of these goods, were founded.

The merchants, from their tall offices and storage buildings in the District known as The Row employ an army of peddlers to sell supplies to students at fair prices to avoid shortage. Merchants have to individually be okayed by Senpai to run a distribution business. They are charged with fairly pricing their items based on the monthly allowance students received. Refrain from hoarding supplies, and to not trade with the excommunicated Tribals that reside outside the institution.
Guards: Guards
Refer to adults who watch over the students of the 'school' through sniper scopes and thermal vision binoculars. They are charged with the protection of the general student population (as a whole), but more importantly, the protection of teachers and staff who venture within the walls.

With tall towers that offer a clear shot into practically any location topside, very early on, students discovered the old military dig in fortifications that lead underground. While there were attempts to stop this, the practice eventually went out of style after Guards patrolling the underground were ambushed over and over again.

The Guards operate from what was the old Hidden Submarine base, and also have acess to Several Patrol boats. They used have a search helicopter but after it ran into problems it was put into storage indefinitely.
Thirteen Kai: Thirteen Kai
A group of students who carry out Senpai's will. Their influence together is what makes the upper levels of Hisakawa Institution so comparatively calm as opposed to the Chaos going on further underground.

Among older students the Kai are remembered and revered as the Legendary Heroes who brought the peace that the upper levels of Hisakawa now enjoy. These Thirteen Kai presumably defeated the Twenty Kai and the entirety of the Butai of the old regime all on their own.

In the Realm of Hisakawa, a Kai typically refers to someone of extreme skill and influence. The Kai under Senpai are the best of the best in that regard.
Disciplinary Butai: Disciplinary Butai
These students serve under the Thirteen Kai, and protect students from being harmed in the upper levels of the school that they patrol. In peacetime, the Butai have been used to quell potential upsurpers to the common order under Senpai. During the occasions when the horrors from the lower levels try to break out topside, the Butai are the first line of defense.

For this reason, Senior Butai Members typically get assigned cushy positions topside where the most they could expect is stopping a robbery or the occasional rage fit. Butai members underground must earn their place by facing the horrors that come from below.

Despite the perils, being a Butai member is one of the best jobs that a student can attain once they reach seniority. The power of the group, the top pay possibility, as well as it's prestige is almost enough to warrant the the near 50% survival rate for newcomers.
Tribals: Tribals
Students who live outside the walls of the main institution and out in the forests of the island. Criminals among criminals. They are rumored to eat other students who happen across them.

Tribals are most dangerous in the rare instances one happens upon a group working together to survive. Different from the ousted, students from the academy, the Original Tribals are composed of students who were banished from the Institution after The War. These students, whom were once the rulers of the institution, remain highly dangerous.

Though the rifles of the towers keep them at bay, woe be to anyone who comes across a True set of Tribals. As they were rightly feared for things much more terrible than Cannibalization.

Forta Kuuyari

[fieldbox= Forta, purple, solid]
"I Truly Want Us All to Graduate Together"

Character Color: Light Purple

Given Name: Forta
Age: 16
Height: 161cm
Date of Birth: 12, May

Likes:

Idle Fiddling: Forta's been observed twiddling pens in her fingers in impressive ways while seeming to be spaced out. She seems to get bored easily and will do things such as pile pens, fold paper, or click on a pen to keep occupied. She's really bad with needlessly clicking pens.

Sweets: Adding a bit of sugar to ones life offers a minor respite from the struggles of a hard day at a prison school. Though a somewhat rare commodity on campus, Forta is willing to splurge some credits and get a full pack of Splendour Sugar into her drink.

Street Fighting: Despite her girlish appearance, she's quickly becoming known for her fighting prowess. Forta's fighting style is fierce and merciless with a notable amount of back-alley in it. She's a natural whose presumably had to fight for her life on some occasions from that observation. Her resourcefulness even when fighting someone has also be described as 'playing dirty' by others.

Saving People: This girl seems obsessed with helping people. Even putting herself in harm's way, or even making enemies in the process. When she feels like she's in the right and decides she wants to help someone she throws all caution out the wind and damns all potential negative outcomes. Her rough arrival onto the island has started to make her rethink this sort of sentiment, however.

Dislikes:

Apathetic Folk: People who stand by and watch secretly Irritate Forta to no end. She looks down on people who just watch or go on and ignore when someone's being mistreated or used unfairly. Believing that everyone should look out for each other is a noble dream, but her strong feelings towards this ideal is something that not everyone is a fan of.

Organized Fighting: "If We're Going All Out Then What's the Point of Having Rules?"

Scammers, Extortionists, and Opportunists: Three sets of people and behaviors that take advantage of people just living out their lives, and pulling one over them for no reason beyond their own selfish desires. They are worse than Apathetic Folk, no doubt.

Cats: Forta does not like cats. At all. She mentioned this once when the class came upon a stray wandering around topside and the fact that she 'Hates' cats sort of stuck. In fact, Forta probably hates the flak she gets over saying that more than actual cats at this point.

Hobbies:

Fighting Games: Forta's surprisingly good at fighting games. According to her, they work a lot like how real fighting works. Which some of the rougher students immediately called her out on. They never got a chance to take back those words however, as they were both knocked out a few minutes later after challenging her position.

Exploring the Depths: Though the Butai forbids it, Forta is rumored to have explored the tunnels underneath the first floor living spaces. Some have expressed interest in asking her to take them along on her expeditions, but no one has come out and said so yet.

Vigilantism: Going out and saving random people in need whether they asked to or not. Either way, she never asks for anything in return. Some people have been charmed by her heroism, while others have been off-put by her meddling into their affairs and operations.

Woodcarving: She's been seen carving away at wood outside school grounds. One time, Forta even brought in a working flute she had carved out of a piece of wood. Beyond that, Forta's supposedly has made jewelry and trinkets to earn credits on the side.

Fears:

Disease: Forta knows she's really screwed if she gets sick. Like, REALLY SCREWED.

Found Out: Forta was adamant about not having her first name found out. Even now, she still informally introduces herself to strangers as Nanashi (no-name). Just what is she trying so hard to hide? And what does her name have to do with it?

Losing Herself: The situations and unique situation of her surroundings have constantly put into question things that she thought were resolute about herself. She hopes that she can keep her composure and not break to the pressures of this unforgiving world.

Self Introduction:
I want to be someone who can be looked up to.

When I was young, I used naively believe that. That lofty ideal filled me with purpose and meaning. A person with true value is someone had to be someone who could be recognized by others for it.

I helped out around the orphanage as best I could. I protected the other boys and girls from each other and scolded as necessary. I was the big sister that everyone wanted to be around. For that short amount of time, the world revolved around me.

But, that all changed one day. And that comfortable place disappeared in an instant. The majority of my life was a blur. Begging for food. Stealing, extorting, and killing for minor gains and for the most trivial of things were normal in the hell that I stepped into. But I was good. I was just so good at what I did that I was able to afford the luxury to look at it all and be disgusted.

I tried so hard to just disappear...
But the world forced a second chance upon me.

I hate it...
I hate all of this so much.

First Impressions:

Kuuyari
"Why does she do these things? What is she after?"

Kagami
"I want to think that, even as cold as they can be sometimes, that Kagami has everyone's best interests in mind, ultimately."

Toru
"All I can remember of him is how he tried to choke out Rinne when we first arrived. Rinne isn't entirely undeserving of that, but that was so cruel of him..."

Banri
"I think we get along, sort of. He dosen't have the nicest way of saying things but it does make it a bit more special when you can tell he's saying something nice"

Rinne
"I tried to thank her for standing up for me. But when I got on about her punching Fuka, and about me name... we had to walk away from each other after that. We were so angry at each other, but what did we even say to each other? I can't remember anymore..."

Fuka
"If her antics ended on that first day then I could've just forgotten about it. But, even after this whole month I still can't come to terms with her. I don't like her or the way she operates. That's all."

Kuni
"She was under the impression that I saved everyone regardless of whether they themselves might've done previously. She called me a hypocrite, and I called her a hypocrite right back."

Takeshi
"He complimented me once when I saved someone who was being robbed, and seemed to delight in how badly the perpetrator got hurt as a result. He says actually Hi when we cross paths."

Kazuko
"I don't think she's an entirely bad person. But she's also those people who'll offer as much lip service and commentary from the side but never lift a finger unless it directly involves them. I heard about her wanting to throw everyone in the water like Edeir did when she couldn't find her ID slip."

Hayato
"We're kind of the same, wanting to help people in any way we can. But I'm also worried that his way of just offering himself up to people will really get him hurt someday."

Laura
"So she hates my guts for me looking down on her? How petty. But then again, I've seen people get killed over things far more petty than that. I don't owe any respect to someone who can't even keep their own act up."

Ryuu
"I thought that we could get along. I really thought that we would. But once time he tried to call up one of my tabs at his cafe by having me reveal information about myself. Because that was unacceptable, I left and paid him the morning after. Needless to say he wasn't happy about me walking out."

Aster
"Did he really get tricked into buying that Swimsuit Magazine? Wouldn't he have been able to tell right away that it wasn't what we paid for?"

Edeir
"He was the one who tried to tip over our boat and ended up falling over himself. I sort of feel sorry for him."

Murasame
"I don't like hearing her talk. She sounds so pretentious. She noticed me looking at her at one point and I told her just that. She didn't appreciate the honest answer."

Setsuko
"She's talked to me about her time before she came to the school once or twice. It's nice that she seems comfortable talking about it but I just cant quite bring myself to just tell her I'm not to interested in it."

Akira
"He looks sort of mean, but I think that's just appearances. After being in class with them they aren't all that bad of a person, in person."

"Would You Risk the Chance of Knowing Inevitability?"

Character Color: Dark Green

Given Name: Kuuyari
Age: 17
Height: 148.9cm
Date of Birth: 16, June

Likes:

Wealth: Money is the root of all evil and greed. But for Kuuyari, if living comfortably requires greed then she is proud to be as greedy as they come. Everything from information to favors all can have a price-tag attached to it. Plus, her sometimes exuberant fees keeps her from being completely mired in people wanting fortunes.

People's Reactions: Seeing people react to things is entertaining. Kuu is often listening off to the aside. Just wanting to see some sort of emotional extreme manifest itself out of someone or from some sort of situation. It genuinely entertains her.

Rain: Makes her fall asleep, and even helps her sleep soundly. Even if it's a thunderstorm or typhoon.

Karma's Effect: "Seeing people revel in their comeuppance is Poetic, Satisfying, and Entertainingly ironic in a single convenient package."

Dislikes:

Freebies: Doing anything for free or out of the kindness of one's heart is ultimately meaningless to her. Unless the potential to be amused or paid is there, Kuuyari doesn't hand out freebies.

Dogs: She dislikes the sound of their barking. When dogs are present she gets barked at. A lot.

Tall People: She unfortunately did not inherit her father's considerable height. Rather, in a twist of irony, she ended up being notably shorter than other girls her age. She'll curse anyone who teases her about her height.

Promises: "Promises carry the implication of a deed done for free and out of the goodness of one's heart. As such, they're prone to being ultimately forgotten and discarded leaving nothing but disappointment..."

Hobbies:

Fortune Telling: Supposedly, she can see the future. Word of mouth from those who have made use of her services can attest that she can answer their future related questions. But there's an inherent risk in knowing what the future holds. Kuuyari is very up front about that fact to everyone she does this for.

Shocking People: She somehow generates static electricity very easily. She often freely discharges that static electricity onto others as a sort of prank or greeting.

Listening to their Surroundings: Always listening for something interesting. Catching sight of something entertaining to fill her dull day is imperative for her. Though there's usually no reason for her to get involved in anything personally, she's usually observing anything significant going on from afar.

Socializing: Seemingly a natural at interacting with people. Kuuyari always seems to be in control of most conversations. But she parlays with people with a certain measure of grace that seems to come to her naturally, despite her sometimes strange diction.

Fears:

Horror Movies: Does not like Horror Movies in any way shape or form. She's even been scared at horror parody segments. But she'll never admit it.

Her Own Ability: She goes to great lengths to warn people when she gives fortunes. If she really is able to see the future, then could there be fortunes she doesn't want to find out?

Squid: Kuuyari was horrified when she was once served 'Dancing Squid' at a Sushi Bar. She ate her dish immediately without realizing that the tentacles were still astir, and was horrified at the thought of eating something 'still alive even after being cut up' like squid ever again.

Self Introduction:
My mother was a weak person.

She lived her life filled with many regrets. Not being able to do things she wanted to, not finding the endings that she wished to have. Even when she moved forward and married Father, she ultimately was just clinging to what little of her past she could protect. She detested him almost as much as she loved him. Maybe that was why I didn't inherit whatever genes he had that made him so tall.

I didn't dislike my parents though. Like any good pair of parents they promised they'd love me no matter what. But I detested the sort of relationship I was born into. That wasn't what directly lead to me becoming a so-called felon, but that's probably where it would all begin. I still remember the look on Mother and Father's faces as I was lead away from them in handcuffs. They couldn't believe it.

And, to be quite frank with you, I still can't believe it either.

Oh my... I seem to have strayed off topic, haven't I?

What gives a person 'Value'? What sort of foolish question is that?

People are all made up of the same things, save for what may be digesting in their belly.
The things that people have are ultimately what decides their value.

First Impressions:

Forta
"What an interesting character you are, Forta. Saving people for the sake of saving people. You know that's the absolute height of arrogance, right?"

Kagami
"How dare you be a couple millimeters taller!"

Toru
"So you take on this visage of a fool when it's convenient for you? Am I supposed be impressed by that shallowness?"

Banri
"Seeing him get hit by a seagull every day is amusing."

Rinne
"What a simplistic mindset! Doesn't take a fortune teller to know what she's thinking."

Fuka
"Don't get the wrong idea, you fool. I'd only hate you if you were truly a threat. But there's no reason for me to hate someone whose very nature prevents them from having any weight in the grand scheme of things."

Kuni
"Oh, so nice to everyone. Certainly, there must be a point when such unbridled kindness meets unwelcome obsession, no?"

Takeshi
"I'll be very amused the day you have to face Kagami to answer the final question supremacy. But, it would seem that it will be an uphill battle for you."

Kazuko
"Keeping translucent in yet staying mysterious. I have nothing against you, but I do know pretty well that teasing you won't yield much fruit either."

Hayato
"Will your heart be able to take it a second time, I wonder? Could someone such as you possibly save someone who you truly care about?"

"Sure, sure, I am a fraud. That's quite good. I hold my tongue so I may savor the day you look at me with murderous eyes that are simultaneously frustrated at your inability to do anything."

The Ocean - The calm blue sea is one of Rinne's favorite sight to watch. It just helps her calm her mind.
Honesty - Is the biggest virtue that Rinne have. She is as transparent as a bright and shiny glass.
'Justice' - The Justice in this is more of those cliche Superhero vigilantism. Rinne adores being the 'Hero of Justice'.

Dislikes:
Rules - Rinne never likes to obey complicated rules, to her… Rules like that is just a twisty sentence that allows scummy villains go off without any punishments.
Long Discussions - Rinne is more of an act first talk later person, she would prefer making a quick decision rather than dwelling on what ifs and such before making one.
Lying - Rinne couldn't lie, even if her life depends on it. And she also hates people that lies to her. But if it's a lie that protects her, she would appreciate it.
'Evil' - Any forms of harming, whether it's physical, mental, or something else. That's what's evil for her. And she hate's it so much.

Self Introduction:

"Honesty. The only one thing that makes a person valuable. Without that, there are lots and lots of huge shits happened. Look at those corruption cases. If everyone haves it. Boy, there wouldn't be any huge prolonged case. Sure there would be still be some but it wouldn't be as upsetting as that. Although some lies can still exist. Like, what would be a good example. Say that you don't want a certain person in your group, you chose to say the truth like 'Hey sorry but my friends don't want you in our group.' Even though it might be a lie, it's pretty close to the truth. You keep that person away, sure it might upset them. But it would upset them more if you fake it even further and then talk behind their back.But still, the most important thing is that Honesty is what makes you… Great. No, for real. You'll find good people drawn into you more as you became more honest."

Forta - Strongly Negative
"So, this is weird but why do two heroes of justice butts against each other? Funny huh? No it's not, the thing is... Why is she so secrety about her name? Who is she exactly that warrants her to keep that a secret? It's not like she's Jack the Ripper or something. Everyone could've been something! I don't care."

Kuuyari - Strongly Positive
"So, turns out what Kuu said is actually right, that loony crazy textbook villain sure is the traitor. So she's not a phony future predictor. I have to be careful with her. Anyway, I'm just going to keep myself in her good grace."

Kagami - Strongly Negative
"Okay, that shorty... Whatever their gender are, he or she hates how tall I am, he or she hates how I don't really like order, I don't like debates, I guess it's pretty obvious why I don't get along with that person."

"Funny thing, you see... He choked me back then, I confronted him about it, and we actually... talked it out and be cool about it. Well, unless I tried to escalate some situation again with my fist."

Kazuko - Positive
"A like minded person, well, if you strip off her creepy stare and other stuffs. She's alright I guess, think I sparred a few times with her? She said to... use less wrestling and more technical? Think she's right but... You see, flashyness is needed for the Blue Justice!"

Hayato - Strongly Positive
"You know, that stupid masochist boy turns out to be not quite the masochist I thought he is. I mean, when I get in trouble, he kind of saved me so... You know, he's actually okay if you can handle his um... weirdness."

Murasame - Positive
"I honestly thought she was a dude at first, until I was proven otherwise. She's uh... How should I put it, I thought she's that kind of loner, though maybe it's just this new environment she's not used to."

Setsuko - Strongly Positive
"Oh, I remember when we got assigned on cook duty together! We talked a lot about food and all that, and then I remember she told me to lessen my consumption of sweets. I know it's bad for my health but I can't help it!"

Aster - Weakly Negative
"You see, he screwed up, I get that. And he got a SWIMSUIT magazine at that!? Unforgiveabl--- No, actually... He tried to at least mend his mistake. So I guess he's okay, but he's maybe quite a mistake prone guy."

Takashi - Strongly Negative
"He reminded me of that cliche anime shady schemer mastermind. That kind of villain scum that I really hated to the core."

Hobbies:

Martial Arts: Typically practices hand to hand combat, Kendo, iaido and Jujutsu of note.

Koto player: Can play this traditional Japanese instrument fairly well, it is much like the Chinese Guzheng, she is fairly skilled but seems to have much more to learn by her own estimation.

People watching: In part because of her paranoia and suspicions of others Kazuko tends to rather enjoy observing others and seeing how they tick or what sort of ally or threat they might be to her. Is surprisingly stealthy and able to get into places most would not deem easy.

Philosophy: Enjoys reflecting on life or conversations to this concept, her own views are highly Traditional Eastern based.

Fears:

Superstitious: While a logical and intelligent person, Kazuko has rather horrible luck, because of this she tends to take heed to omens and old traditions to ward off evil spirits. Even if she won't openly admit to such at times.

Miniature lifelike Dolls: Having seen some creepy movies to this effect in her childhood, she really hates life like dolls, fearing they'll come to life.

Being Watched: After a mishap with a person sneaking up on her and some general paranoia, Kazuko is paranoid of others around her, feeling a deep discomfort at being observed or fear of others being behind her while doing tasks, becoming rather uncomfortable and ceasing her activity, this in a round about way ties into her observational hobbies.

Self Introduction:

"Kekekeke! Oh? An interview is it, not going to just do away with me? This is why you are weak... Very well, and yes I know I cannot speak of either of those things. So what do I value, or what are some facts about me? Well given I cannot give my family name there goes one of those..."

"I value the time honored traditions and views that shaped our island nation for time immemorial. Prostrating ourselves with false values, false smiles, corporate trickery. Much corruption and so called Modernity has swept us up.. But enough of that, I enjoy playing the Koto and looking at Sakura petals. Poems and Art from our past also greatly interests me.

I Believe in keeping one's mind and body as sharp as the Katana of old, least you fall to the will of another. In general I am not trusting of others, more so those who hover above and behind me, supervising all that I do. It makes me nervous. Overall I like to watch others and I value concepts of honor of my own, regardless of what others may say.

Generally I also like current events, chemistry and my martial studies. Also I will not hesitate to defend my views, bare that in mind, kekeke.

I try to act in a reserved manner with my emotions constrained, logic, reason and observation are key. My Family has a rich history that I am prideful about, I respect Duty, one should always do their upmost to live with Honor. Well that is all I have to say. Leave me to my cell.."

First Impressions:

Forta - Weakly Negative

"Ah..Her. She's fairly strong, though I won't forgive her so easily for that day. Lying to us all to make such a foolish game. Hiding her pride out of pointless fear, then looking down upon us all, even after all of that.. Well she tries to do good and protects the class...for that alone I try and work with her.. I worry she will be the next Benkei sooner or later.. Either way for now I just cannot befriend her, but I do not hate her outright."

Kuuyari - Weakly Positive

"Ah Kuu Sama. She is very wise, though her personality can be insufferable.. I don't try and stay on her good side as I worry about curses or things like that though, shes nice enough.. I wonder if she really is some sort of preistess or an information broker.If she were not so Haughty I would likely have more dealings with her. I do not fear her as most seem to however. Though it is best to only deal with her when needed or when asked for.."

Kagami - Strongly Negative

"He just irks me...or she.. They always take such a strong postition is being the leader, but all they do is talk and make false smiles, never aiding others unless it suits them.. A modern "leader" by every standard.. Overly ambitous.. I won't get in their way but I am not sure I can support them unless it suits me as well.. His overall way of being.. I cannot trust his claims.. Overall he is the one I keep careful observations on.. He might be good, but can one who throws his followers to the wolves, helping them when it is too late be called good?"

Toru - Weakly Negative

"While a seemingly decent person, his quirks annoy me. Be it him sniffing my poor Sakura's, being behind him in some of the smaller tunnels where he'll take his time or just stop.... he just gets in the way. Then of course there is his sudden shifts to confrontation or refusal to debate.. We have some in common with regards to Fitness, or how he used to inquire about my Koto as if wanting to purchase it get's annoying... All in all I cannot say I hate him, but various aspects of his personality gets on my nerves.. Also his personality seems too nice at times.. I do not trust him... But there are worse here for sure."

Banri - Negative

"Ah, Banri... He is highly course and a bit vulgar, but I guess that is not unlike most men. I just do not like him very much, be it his smoking, or the stink eye he gives me when I am quick to answer questions in class.. It is just detestable.. He also seems a stingy sort, but worst of all is his dislike for Rice. One of which he seems to hate Rice, how can he call himself Japanese and not like Rice? That cannot be... Either way we share little in common."

Rinne - Positive

"Ah, Rinne Chan.. She's of a like mind to a point, though a bit weak and dense in some respect. I value her concept of justice and honesty, I think that we can work together. Her insistence on using wrestling moves over battle tested techniques can lead to defeat in spars. She has surprising moments when her weakness seem to vanish, I see this as a person I can work with in this place in the name of the Greater Good, though she seems to lack the will to do what is necessary. Though we have little in common in terms of hobbies or likes past our views to a point."

Fuka - Weakly Positive

"Fuka hmm.. Well Fuka, I owe a great deal for her kindness. Overall however I cannot bring myself to befriend her as she is. She is much too chaotic and disruptive. Though she only takes her pranks so far, a day will come when another shall not laugh.. In addition while I treat her nicely as I can a bit of wariness is between us both, me as I know her for her antics, she seems to fear me. Either way I shall not forget the kindness she has given me and live my life with honor, perhaps she will change some and if not I shall repay my debt to her if things go too far as I fear.."

Kuni - Weakly Positive

"Ah Kuni chan, she is a very sweet girl.. I wonder what she did but I doubt it was among the worst, I fear this place might be too much for her. Her preference for Teamwork pleases me and she is mostly nice, has some very strange views on fish.. Other than that I have heard rumor of her playing the Guitar, I should play with her sometime if true, while I shall try to help her out, a friendship I rather take slowly, in case she does not survive.. she is interesting to talk to at least."

Laura - Strongly Negative

"Oh her... I wish I could say our answer to order was bonding, but it is not. Her antics lead directly to a making a situation worse that we did not need to be in.. All because of shallow pride.. Then again maybe I see a bit of myself in those eyes of hers.. Either way, her importance over money is horrid, her views on family commendable, her word seems to be kept.. For now I cannot just let that go, she is a threat for the time being.."

Murasame - Weakly Positive

"Ah Murasame San, She is surprisingly old fashioned in some ways and unlady like in others. Once more I trust the looks of a persons eyes with this, I do not as of yet Trust her.. Seems a bit distant, but no more than most. Seems rather weak but somewhat observent.. I'm afraid I don't have much else to say on her.. Though if I had to guess she doesn't like the uniforms the Prison makes her wear for class at times. I'll keep my judgements open on her."

Hayato - Negative

"Ah.. the Masochist.. I rather do not like this one.. He is a man that claims to be peaceful but jumps into others problems with a zeal and requests of being hit. Likes dogs as well.. I've never seen him up above ground what few times we are allowed at night and his pride is very fickle... We share no hobbies alike minus he seems to also appreciate the Sakura among the lesser flowers... Overall I doubt I'll forget his sick perversions that he's displayed, he very much needs to learn when a problem between other people needs to be settled without his interference.. Given both of these I worry about what his crime may have been.."

Akira - Weakly Positive

"Ah.. Akira san, or Homeless man as I've taken to calling him for his clothing. He seems fairly athletic, though wary of me, even if he hides it well. Overall we don't have much in common, but he seems to be a person I can predict and deal with to an extent. His likes are far too base for me however."

Ryuu - Strongly Positive

"Ryuu-san... He seems always fairly friendly if not distant in a manner... Just a feeling a feeling I get, but he makes a Great host with the little project he's running. Overall he's a good source of information when I see him, though I have to give info in change. Overall I have to say he doesn't seem all that dangerous and ready to amuse and entertain others, though a bit too modern for me. Non-the-less a person I shall keep cordial ties with if I can.."

(Optional) Extra Info Section: She has a number of gunshot wounds and small scars on her core body. Her hair was once Pink and keeps some of the hue.

Character Quote: "Family first."
Character Appearance:

Character Color: #8A0707

Given Name: Laura
Age: 16
Height: 165cm
Date of Birth: 06/06

Likes:
Pineapples on pizza - Laura is one of those mad people who like pineapples on their pizza.
Money - With money one can practically achieve anything. It's a shortcut to greatness one way or another.
Family - "Family first." A single persons life is limited. Your family-name, your legacy, is not. No matter how hard the times. No matter the situation. They will always have your back. After all, the blood that binds us is the strongest bond. Even stronger than money.
Order - Rules and regulations exist for a reason. What else needs to be said? Though most importantly following order means a swift and orderly release from Hisakawa.
Night-time - Laura had always been a night-owl. With less noisy people around it is the perfect time of the day to go outside!
Mathematics - Always been her favorite subject in school. It's a subject of facts rather than opinions.
Trust&Vow - Breaking ones word equals to breaking ones trust. Trust is a factor that plays a big part in making more money. Trust isn't just build from today to tomorrow. It takes time. Sometimes, even over generations. A written contract, a given word, is a secure form of trust that leaves no room for misunderstandings or excuses.

Dislikes:
Animal cruelty - Laura has a sweet spot for most animals, making her act irrational, and it breaks her heart seeing them hurt.
Noisy People - The worst kind of attention whores that never allow one to enjoy a peaceful moment of silence.
Untidiness - One could call it a personal bias. Untidy people, in Laura's opinion, tend to display certain behavior patterns that the girl isn't all too fond of. Mainly it is them living dirty though.
Incompetence - Incompetence is the first step to failure. Something Laura wants neither to experience nor be remembered of through others doings.

Hobbies:
Shooting Sport - Popular even in countries like Germany. Laura has always been fascinated by weapons. Though the only legal means of using them regularly is through being part of a shooting club. The girl used to be the youth-ace of her state.
Physical activities - Keeping a healthy body is the key to a sound mind. Be it tennis, working out, soccer or some sort of martial arts. As long as the body gets some action the girl is always willing to join.
Animal care - With a weak heart for animals there is no way Laura could walk past a stray one in need. While never having been allowed a pet of her own she tries to care for them nonetheless.
Weapon Collection - More forced upon her by her father and not even having a own collection to call her own, Laura developed a keen interest in all sorts of modern weapons. Be it firearms or tools used for close-quarter combat.
Accounting - Trying to learn the craft of her family includes learning how to run a business. It comes only natural that, having a natural knack for math, she enjoys accounting, too.

Fears:
Failure - Having been born in a rather demanding family Laura has been trimmed to realize that failure is not tolerated. Naturally this created a fear in her to do her utmost to not fail in the first place and not be hold accountable for any failures that may arise.
Losing control - Being in control means having a say over the situation. Making decisions with ones own will. Being put into a situation where she is forced to accept a terrible outcome is simply unacceptable.
Family - Laura is scared to disappoint her family. She had already done so by coming here, any other slip and she might as well just kill herself.
Spicy Food - A simple prank turning bad. Laura had always been a rather picky eater and was never too fond of spicy food. When one of her stupid brothers decided to take her fear away they only made it worse, way worse... .

Self Introduction: "A persons worth can be measured by the amount of money they accumulate to their family's name. Simple as that.

What? Want me to elaborate?

Dough. Bills. Bread. Bucks. Loot. Bills. Money. Money can buy you anything. But what exactly is money? It's everything if you don't have it, right? Is it just an agreed upon unit of exchange for goods and services? 1€ for a liter of milk? 20 Bucks for an evening of babysitting? Or is it intangible? Security or happiness. Simple peace of mind.

Nein, I say. Instead, let me propose a third option: Money as a measuring device. You see, as much as people like to blame others for their misery, the hard reality is that each and everyone of us is responsible for their own kin. It's as simple as deciding to study over going to your best friends birthday party. Helping the family's business over playing on a video-game console. Seeking temporary peace in the embracement of drugs over fighting for a secure future.

It's about making choices... and taking responsibility for the consequences of these choices. Money is not peace of mind. It isn't happiness. Money is, ultimately, a measurement of one's choices."

Luck Grade: C

Forta - Strongly Negative
"It's really simple. 'Nanashi' has no right to judge any of us, not even the criminal scum I judge myself, if she makes such a ridiculous farce out of her name. A woman, a girl, with such behavior on the very first day deserves the worst."

Kuuyari - Negative
"I was a Fool to even consider for a second this girl could literally tell the future. Not only was she wrong about Forta, but the 'betrayal' she was speaking about was more like a kindergarten prank. As if that wasn't enough her personality seems rotten to the core."

Kagami - Weakly Positive
"He and I seem to be on the same wave length, at least to a certain degree. While that may indeed be positive in a place such a this I don't think his plan will work out. Just see what happened with Aster. I'd rathe be left alone. As long as I mind my own business without inconveniencing anyone that shouldn't be a problem."

Toru - Positive
"An alright individual. A bit on the odd site but after having confronted him it worked out quite well. Working out together also proves to be more efficient than alone."

Banri - Negative
"An animal hater. His kind shall not be forgiven."

Rinne - Weakly Negative
"By now it's hard to believe her hero-act is just for show. In that case she is simply a harmless idiot. Which I should be thankful for?"

Fuka - Weakly Negative
"It's hard to get a read on this girl. She's simply...weird. And it's better to stay away from weird."

Kuni - Positive
"I-I still don't trust her 'act' completely! Nobody can be 'that nice' in such an environment! But I suppose…. Maybe… no! I… aaarghhh."

Takeshi - Weakly Positive
"He seems like a like-minded individual."

Kazuko - Strongly Negative
"While I take pride in my family, too, this girl is just… urgh. A whole other level. Different. She keeps talking and talking and talking. Pretends to be smart with lines like 'Oh it's raining. We might get wet.' And her laugh is simply disgusting."

Hayato - Strongly Positive
"He… confuses me… in a similar way as Kuni. Though he did aid me against that animal hater. So he can't be bad…?"

Ryuu - Positive
"He's weird… in a positive sense? BUT! He likes animals. Nobody that likes animals can truly be a terrible person. T-That doesn't mean I trust him, though."

Aster - Weakly Negative
"He seemed harmless enough at first but proved to be a liability. Unreliable people are the worst."

Edeir - Strongly Positive
"He seems... to simply understand what it takes to survive this place. We're teaching each other manners, literally. Unlike many of these others fools. He didn't even get mad when I cleared up we're simply associates rather than friends. I'm glad at least one person seems to understand that."

Murasame - Positive
"A very faithful person to their family. I can respect that… obs- dedication."

Setsuko - Weakly Positive
"I met her on one of my early jogs. The girl seems alright. Her view about money, while not exactly right, isn't that wrong either. It's not the time, or my place, to teach her that though."

[fieldbox=Kuni, pink, solid]

"Even if it's dark... even if I know that I'll regret it.... and even if I don't think it's right... I'm still going to follow my heart!

I won't ever regret it!"

Character Color: #ff99cc, or Pink in the base color wheel

Given Name: Kuni

Age: 17

Height: 168 cm

Date of Birth: 28, February

Likes:

Teamwork
- When everyone works together, that's fantastic! Everyone needs to work together, both in the school and out. So Kuni loves it when people get along and work together to solve a major problem. She thinks that teamwork will definetly equal future success.
Cute Things
- Puppies, pink, bubbles, if it's cute she loves it. Most of the time, Kuni doesn't look like a criminal simply because of her purchases. Frilly skirts, keychains, whatever it is Kuni probably owns. She rotates the charms on her phone daily. So far, no one is sure they've seen a duplicate of any charm she's used. This also extends to desserts, especially pancakes and parfaits.
Fireworks
- Kuni loves fireworks. Every excuse to buy them, she'll take. Birthday? Fireworks! Valentine's Day? Fireworks! While Kuni is the first to suggest them, she's also the first to forget a bunch of underage felons can't buy them.
Anime
- Her favorite anime is... actually Shounen adventure with lots of fighting. Her second favorite is magical girl anime. She sometimes does the moves out of anime to varying degrees of failure. She has, however, memorized entire speeches from the anime she loves.

Dislikes:

Being Alone
- Being alone means failure to Kuni. As much as teamwork is important to become rehabilitated, being alone means that she has to face her own demons on her own. While not very often, Kuni hates being alone without anything to distract her.
Blood
- Blood is red, smells of metal, and frankly always appears when things get bad. If Kuni sees blood, or thinks that someone is about to get hurt enough to bleed, she'll always intervene.
Fish
- She likes eating them, but claims that there's 'something off about their eyes'. Plus they're slimy and gross when alive. Fish are ugly and deserve to be eaten, according to Kuni.
Bitter Things
- Kuni is the type of person who needs at least seven spoonfuls of sugar in her coffee, and even then she barely tolerates it.

Hobbies:

Anime
- When alone, often puts on whatever show is airing. There are only a few she actually cares about, but mostly she likes to have the background noise. When her shows are on, she has a hard time tearing herself away from the screen.
Guitar
- Mostly self-taught, Kuni is gifted on the acoustic guitar. Because it's hard to show off her talent, she doesn't tell many people.
Speech and Debate
- Kuni has a bad habit of jumping into fights and trying to stop them through words alone. If that fails, she'll try to physically stop a fight. The second part usually goes poorly for Kuni. As a result, she often gets involved in fights and blamed for being part of them.
Cooking
- Kuni loves to cook. Her friends often end up with various leftovers from whatever Kuni made last. Kuni claims to have been used to cooking for more than one person.

Fears:

Snakes
- Snakes are always unknown factors. Are they poisonous? Are they the kind that strangle people? Either way, they shouldn't move like that. Kuni hates snakes and will leave where ever she is if a snake is in it.
Freezing Up
- If someone needs her and she freezes up, then it would be worse than if she did nothing. She has to act if she sees injustice or if something terrible is happening. She has to.
Not Being Able to See
- Kuni relies on sight more than anything. In darkness, she'll panic and sit down where she's standing. If she can't see, she's afraid of hurting herself or accidentally hurting someone else. Plus, if she can't see then what lurks in the darkness?

Self Introduction:

"What is it that gives a person value...? It's the value assigned to them by other people. It's kind of pessimistic, but I prefer to think of it as waaaayy more optimistic in terms of people! Errr, anyway I mean that people tend to be blank slates until someone reaches out and tells them something. Until someone meets you, the person cannot turn you into a person of value.

"It takes people looking at each other to make a whole person. I mean, everyone's got an idol. Someone they aspire to look up to. People assign the value of 'celebrity' or 'felon' to other people. They form people out of what they see when the look at someone. Perception is entirely what gives someone their opinion of you. Perception and who you are form each other perfectly. You are exactly what people think you are in public, and maybe private too.

"People can compliment something you never noticed. They can insult you or make you do things out of spite. Words and people assign our value. If we can change it or not, we'll see. However, once people give us value, they are more than just a stranger. They are the people we interact with every day, even if we don't speak out loud, they see us.

"We live on as different versions of ourselves in other people's heads. People need people to survive, to make live worth living at all. So, even though people assign our value to them, that doesn't mean it's a constant number! It means that people, when they see us, see another person for long enough to give us a value! We are the customer who asks for extra sugar, or the student who wants to help.

"So, even though we don't exist until other people look at us, until our interactions with someone forms who we are fundamentally, people who give our life value are so important. Friends give a person value, family, too. Most of what we know, we know through social interaction.

"When I was sent here for what I did, I won't regret it. What I did, I did with the conviction of the value my friend put on me. And the value I put on her. People need people to survive, and even when things are wrong, and even when you think they don't see all of your heart, people do.

"People assign value, because they must. And when I give someone value through friendship, or love, I mean it with every fiber of my being. Because denying a person's right to exist with the right amount of value is against who I am!"

AKA Kuni's List of Friends or Friends To Be

Forta - Strongly Negative
"I don't want to hate Forta! I really don't! But... it's still her fault we didn't get moving earlier. I'll have to work extra hard to become friends with her, if I can. But I shouldn't give up on her, even though it's hard!"

Kuuyari - Strongly Positive
"Under all of Kuuyari's gruff exterior where it seems like she's trying to manipulate people, I think she has a really tough time with her power. People brought up that she can see when people are hurt and I can only imagine how hard it is for that to deal with. So I'll do what I can to help her!"

Kagami - Negative
"Kagami seems so heartless sometimes. Not everyone needs to only feel the weight of their failure. That's too hard to bear, some days. Teamwork means everyone should work together. I think Kagami is going to make people blame each other... and I don't think that's the right way to do this..."

Toru - Positive
"He's a great guy! He works hard, and though I'm not in the best shape, I joined the improvement club he was doing. He came by the cafe and we met and hit it off! I'm really excited to work with him!"

Banri - Positive
"At first thought he was really prickly. But he really likes dark chocolate! I can eat it but it's never sweet enough... Anyway, once we started working together and I taught him how to cook, things started looking up. He's a pretty great guy under all those layers, actually! He's like a tsundere! I didn't think people were actually like that."

Rinne - Positive
"I like Rinne and her attitude about justice! She's also so honest! In short, it's like she's a shounen protagonist! Being around her makes me all excited! I'm so glad we're friends!"

Fuka - Negative
"Fuka keeps avoiding me! I thought we were friends but it seems like I'll need to work on this relationship some. I don't know why she wants everyone to think she's mean or bad, but I feel like she isn't? Maybe? Still... she has lied to everyone a few times..."

Kazuko - Weakly Positive
"Kazuko is like a real samurai! All honor and coolness! I kinda feel pathetic by comparison... ehehe... but it's ok. Kazuko is so strong, I know that I'll be like her someday if I work for it!"

Hayato - Weakly Positive
"I don't know how he thinks I'm so cool... I just picked up a skill because I needed to. I just think I'm doing the minimum to help as much as I can. He's so positive, too!"

Laura - Positive
"Laura was a hero of justice when she defended Forta earlier on the boat. Then she got kinda mean, but I don't think she's actually super mean. Everyone's at least a little good, so I think she is pretty cool. I'm glad we're friends, at least."

Ryuu - Weakly Positive
"I work with him in the cafe! I don't know much about him though... he seems nice. So I'm going to do my best! Plus he loves small animals and I think that's super adorable!"

Murasame - Weakly Positive
"I really like her paintings. They're so pretty. The last time I painted something it came out all murky and muddy. Plus she does such beautiful calligraphy and she's so creative I can't help gushing about her... but she's really nice as well!"

Akira- Strongly Negative
"Oh he just- he gets on all of my nerves! I can never fiind the nerve to talk to him and when I do he yells at me! It's so frustrating, because I only want to help! It's so irritating that he won't let me help!"

ERode · Nov 6, 2017

"Mmm, tastes like unrequited love and winter streets."
Text Color: 6A5ACD

First Name: Banri
Age: 17
Height: 170 cm
Date of Birth: December 17th

Girls
Who doesn't? Banri's own preferences leans towards those with long black hair and modest proportions with a subdued, but elegant fashion sense. Being a hormonal teenager though, it's not all that hard to grab his attention with busty bikini babes.

Cigarettes
It's gonna kill him one day, but he doesn't care. More out of habit than pleasure, Banri indulges in this pastime on a daily basis, generally doing what he can in order to not get bothered by teachers or uppity student council kiddos. Really, it's not like slowly poisoning yourself to death over the course of multiple decades was illegal, right?

Snowy Streets
The silence is comforting, and the cold is nostalgic. It's pleasant for him, sitting outside, watching the snow blanket everything. It's pleasant for him, walking outside, crystals of ice crunching softly with every step. It's pleasant for him, shovelling outside, his cheeks burning red in the morning chill. It's nothing but pleasant for him.

Dark Chocolate
It's healthy in moderation, but Banri doesn't eat it in moderation. His sweet tooth's going to rot off with all of the bittersweet bars of chocolate he consumes, but hey, that's his problem, not anyone else's. White chocolate is a sin and mixing dark chocolate with anything else is a sin. He enjoys the purity of that hard crunch and the richness of the beans.

Dogs
Disgusting friendly slobbery furry freaks. Those canine beasts deserve nothing more than to be leashed to a pole and neutered. Far from being afraid of them, Banri just really, really doesn't like them Even cute fluffy puppies only get disdain from him, but depending on the company he's with, he may find it in his heart to tolerate their presence. Dobermans and pit bulls deserve to be shot though. What sort of madman would keep those demonspawn in their backyard?

Rice
When people buy bread, they can eat it immediately after purchase. The same cannot be said for rice, which must be washed and then cooked and then put into a bowl and THEN eaten. It's a waste of time and it's bland as shit. There's actually nothing rice does that bread doesn't do better, in an isolated environment. Bread for the Bread God! Yeast for the Yeast Throne!

Charities
Why do people spend money on helping those in far off countries, when people in their own country are still suffering? When they overlook individuals panhandling in the streets, digging through garbage for recyclables in order to toss a shit ton of cash to add in relief elsewhere…what exactly are they focusing on? Banri sees charities as scams. If they're going to pretend like they're not absolute assholes, they should at least display their generosity directly, instead of through some sketchy third party.

Know-It-Alls
Because they don't know it all, and their pretentious attitude makes him want to beat their heads open with a dictionary. Omniscience implies divinity, and those smartass fools certainly aren't divine in any way. Until they start pulling off major predictive hijinks like foretelling a future where a comet was going to strike the island, thus allowing everyone to evacuate before they die, Banri is only going to treat them with derision and irritation.

Soccer
Less for the physical aspect of it and more for the comradery, Banri enjoys kicking a ball around for no real reason outside of the fact that he had pleasant memories doing so in the past. There's probably elementary schoolers who can outplay him, but hey, he's playing for fun, not for points.

Puzzles
A connoisseur of physical ones, there's something strangely satisfying about putting pieces together until a picture can be seen…and then breaking it, with the thought of starting it all over again. Something about catharsis and all that, perhaps. When he doesn't have space for a puzzle, Banri also enjoys fidgeting with Rubik's cubes or committing Sudoku.

Hiking
Something something beauty of nature something something good for your lungs something something basically pre-picnic appetizer. Regardless of those shallow reasons on the surface, Banri enjoys hiking mostly because it's a chance for him to space out and not think about anything. He's never really seen anything that took his breath away, but he's stared at plenty of landscapes for hours at a time.

Survival Games
Banri's favorite genre in video games, he loves having to make hard decisions between being a 'good but dead person' and being a 'bad but alive person'. And while JRPGs hand you progress on a silver plate, it feels so much more rewarding when you have to harvest and craft and create all your gear yourself, while strategizing against hostile factions and managing your resources. He's especially enjoyed survival-civilization video games, where he gets to dabble in the affairs of an entire population and do fun things like enforce child labor so that resource-gathering quotas are met.

Clowns
Fuck clowns. Seriously, fuck clowns. Like actually, holy fucking shit, fuck clowns. Why the fuck are they even a thing? Why the fuck do people think they're funny? Fucking hell, fuck those clowns. Especially these clowns in particular. Fuck.

Darkness
Seventeen years old, and Banri still can't sleep without a night light. Real talk, the only complete darkness that any human should deal with is when they're asleep. Anything else is just flat-out terrifying. How do they even close their eyes, knowing that somewhere in the fathomless shadows of their bedrooms, there may be a stalker lurking within? Well…maybe if they were sleeping with someone else, that darkness would be less threatening. But still. Pitch black environments. Absolutely not daijoubu.

Separation
He never learned how to say 'goodbye'.

Self Introduction

Strip away money, clothing, reputation, family, and all those other material things, and what do you have? A body. An organism of bone, blood, and flesh, powered by food and piloted by a mass of gray matter. That's what makes people desirable: their body. The more perfect it is, the better. The more deformed it is, the worse. People who post pictures of cripples or mutants on social media and then call them 'beautiful' are just trying to win likes. People who say that it's one's heart, not one's appearance, which matters are just liars. The world isn't kind enough for that. You're not going to marry a fugly retard out of kindness or pity. You're going to do so because you have some really weird fetishes. Without money and power as motivators, it's the body that matters.

Is that dark? I don't care. Is that cruel? I don't care. Is that shallow? I don't care. People don't watch land whales dancing and singing on TV, they watch high school aged beauties. They don't give a shit about their manicured, vacuous personalities, they care about their tits and ass. When you go to a restaurant, having an ugly waitress is an exception. When you go to Akibahara, fat idiots in plus-size costumes only get sneers and jeers. When you go to Kyoto, there are no geisha who looked like they just spent a year in McDonalds.

Appearance is all that matters. People spend hundreds on makeup, haircuts, and other amenities. They starve themselves and tear their bodies apart to attain their perfect body. They pay others to cut them to pieces so that they would be noticed more. They spend so much time and effort obsessing, disciplining themselves, so that they wouldn't be like others. The blood, the sweat, the tears, the stress. The effort it takes to maintain their appearance is what makes it the most valuable thing a human has, for self-discipline, self-loathing is something unique to humanity. Their ability to improve their present state, to find imperfections and to not falter in the face of these cracks, to drive themselves forwards and continuously grow greater, more beautiful, is what gives them value.

If humans didn't care for appearances, would we not have sank a long time ago, into stagnant masses of flesh satisfied with our present state? A well-groomed appearance, thus, is the truest indication of an individual who strives for self-improvement, who will go to great lengths to continue progressing.

~~But that's all just bullshit.~~

Character Theme: Birthday Song
Character Voice: Satoshi Tsuruoka

Strongly Positive

Kuuyari | Fun-Sized Morsel

Considering how 'famous' her hatred of tall people is, it's a surprise to Banri that Kuuyari even tolerates his presence at all. Then again, considering how Kuuyari laughs/smirks whenever a shitting seagull manages to evade his defenses and unload a payload on his head, it's a surprise to Banri that he doesn't want to throttle her. Maybe it's her matter-of-fact nature, or how she doesn't bullshit about doing things for free, or because she's the rare know-it-all that has the omniscience to match it. Maybe it's all of those things and none of those things. Regardless, the common delinquent doesn't mind the fortune teller's presence all that much. Maybe he even prefers it, because her ability to find 'amusing incidents' gives him plenty of time to avoid them.

Takashi | Gamer Bros and Salty Seconds

How did Takashi and Banri even become bros after that incident in the ferry? Despite being a smiley schemer type who looks like he'd backstab his mother without another thought if it meant he'd get a promotion, Banri's friendly with Takashi on a surface level, if nothing else. If the glasses boy can keep his intelligent bullshit to himself, the delinquent can ignore his fox-eyed smirk fairly easily and just enjoying gaming or puzzling with him. Dude's such a sore loser when it comes to video games though, it's hilarious. Banri can always count of Takashi for salty seconds.

Akira | Birds of a Feather

Dude can take a verbal beating and likes girls, while not being a total lost cause when it comes to 'hurr durr lets all make a prayer circle and become a lynch mob', and for that alone, Banri and Akira can get along on the surface level. Dude's a bit too much of a social animal for the delinquent's liking, and his muscle headed interests doesn't intersect at all with Banri's own desire to just take it easy, but hey, he's been buddies with worse people. And having a muscle nerd as a good friend isn't a bad thing at all. Nope. Definitely the opposite of bad here.

Positive

Forta | Supergirl with Secrets

Strong enough to not require a group to back her up. Strong enough to realize her own desires. Regardless of his own thoughts about Nanashi's desire to seek out trouble and 'resolve' it, and regardless of her own irritation at his bystander nature, Banri can respect her willngness to do everything herself. She was the first to leap into action during that situation on the boat, and he knew that not all friendships require honesty or aligned ideals. If she doesn't want to be called by her 'real' name, he was fine with 'Nanashi' as a substitute. Helps that she likes sweets.

Kagami | Fem-boi Magnate

As a leader instead of a groupie, Banri can respect Kagami's own attempt to bring order to the madness that is a school full of criminals, at least. The kid's as sharp as a whip and a real go-getter at that, keeping such a meticulous routine that he had exceeded the realm of merely a prep student and ascended into a high functioning corporate drone. Though they have their differences, they have a somewhat positive relationship at least: one of a loyal customer and a fair vendor. And hey, unlike some people who only lose the debates they enter, Kagami can win them.

Ryuu | Competent Co-Worker

Apparently, butler cafes existed in Hisakawa and made a hell lot of money in the form of tips. Though Banri doesn't care all that much for Ryuu's womanizing and sparkles and little parlor tricks, he can begrudgingly admit that the dude works well at least. They have some semi-decent rapport as butler and chef, at least. Most importantly though, Ryuu likes chocolate as well, even if he's a heretic for ALSO enjoying white chocolate.

Kuni | Too Bright for This Prison

God knows why Banri hangs with Kuni. Is it the fact that they share a similar fear and bonded over that? Is it because in a world where cafeteria food is trash, Kuni knows how to cook? Is it because she's so saccharinely effeminate that even he can't think of her as a threat? Or is it because she taught him how to not die in the kitchen? Regardless, they're friendly enough to work well in the butler café alongside Ryuu, and occasionally, Banri even finds himself going along with Kuni's whole 'teamwork' gig.

Weakly Positive

Toru | A Better Garbage Can than Expected

The man with the brown hair certainly wasn't as terrible as he first was. Maybe it was just because Banri was extra salty due to seasickness, or maybe it was because Toru showed everyone that he was willing to get down and dirty after all by chokeslamming Sonic the Justice-Shitter, but Banri can…exchange words with Toru at least. A few encounters during his hikes certainly helped, and if nothing else, the delinquent and hipster can occasionally hold a conversation together. As long as the hipster doesn't go full edge mode, the two can get along.

Aster | Midget Nerd Out of Water

Dude's hella totes homeschooled. No way he got through middle school being such a spacey skinny pacifist whose immediate defensive mechanism is ignoring the problem while making snide remarks under his breath and NOT getting his shit kicked in for it. Despite those shortcomings though, Aster's still more normal than most others, and what insanity he had proven is harmless enough to overlook. Unlike Fuka, Aster's not the one who goes out of his way to directly stir the chamber pot, so Banri doesn't mind paying attention to the midget nerd occasionally.

Setsuko | Perfection Doesn't Guarantee Satisfaction

The girl that almost exemplifies all of Banri's ideals when it comes to the fairer sex is a bit too close for comfort. Seriously, Murasame was scary enough, but to think that Setsuko was that type as well? Banri does his very best to be avoid her, but, alas, fate conspires against him in this case. A few chance encounters have made the two a little bit more than strangers, in a 'positive' fashion. At least his smoking serves as a deterrent from becoming friends.

Weakly Negative

---

Negative

Rinne | A Powerless Hero is a Worthless One

The blue-haired chick put all her nutrients in her boobs and left none for her brains or muscles. Perhaps if they were in a normal setting, he could admire her tenacity and desire to see justice be done, but this is Hisakawa. Banri wants nothing to do with someone who can't back up her ideals and who constantly seeks trouble.

Fuka | Bad News Bitch

The bitch is bonkers. Perhaps he could have gotten along after the egging, because at least she can take what she ditches out, but holy shit. Is she asking to get shanked? A whole month had passed, and the tension she built with that tray throw still hasn't been released yet. He doesn't want to be there when it does go explode.

Kazuko | Nationalistic Drone

He can understand her tryhard nature. He really can. But that doesn't change what an uptight suck-up Kazuko is. Currying favor with those in charge, pretending to be super onboard with all those traditional Japanese shit. Christ, does she actually have a real personality? Banri thinks not. Girl needs to pull that nationalism boner out of her ass.

Laura | PETA's Public Pooper

Apparently Laura can't understand that animals aren't humans. Apparently she also can't understand that birds that shit on people deserve to fucking die. An incident occurred in which the two of them had a scuffle over this point of view, and the result was Banri definitely dislikes the brutish bird-fucker. Unlike his usual form of avoidance, however, if Laura wants to throw hands, he's definitely fucking down for that.

Strongly Negative

Hayato | Masochistic Stalker with a Motormouth

Will that dude shut up and go away? No. No he will not. Dude's so disgustingly fake with his smiles and his 'hit me instead' deal that Banri's surprised that anyone gets along with him. Then again, this is Hisakawa. There were probably deviants everywhere that were attracted to this one. If only that sort of popularity meant that Hayato would piss off…

Edeir | Do a Flip, Faggot

What a poor fucking shitter, stuck in a Japanese prison when he hates all yellow monkeys. Letting the dude drown would have been a merciful end compared to all the shit that would definitely happen to him now. Banri doesn't have any particular investment in Edeir outside of the fact that it's easy enough to ignore his existence. Really though. Banri does honestly hope that Edeir does a flip on the way down. At least that'd be funny.

Murasame | Her Existence is a Mistake

What, did mommy want a grungy suicidal boy instead? Banri doesn't think too highly of Murasame at all, despite the fact that neither of them have interacted with each other directly. He avoids situations where he needs to be near her, doesn't speak to her outside of grunts and single word answers, and generally just does his very best to make sure that he doesn't get stuck in a situation where the two of them would make eye contact. Is this passive-aggressive bullying to the extreme? Who knows? Banri's not going to be giving an answer there, at least.

- Not graduating: The other choice is not one he wants to think about.

Self Introduction:
"To find peace, one must be well with themselves and with everything else in the world.

You should get fresh air, get your five a day, and excerise regularly. That's the key to feeling good! May I suggest an apple? Truly a tasty snack, fills you right up. Of course, if you swallow the core. A tree might start growing inside you!

I'm joking of course, I tried that once. It didn't work.

If you want a tip for life, it's to never be rash. I've seen people who never take their time, and how often it ends badly for them. One must be patient if they want to achieve their goal. Take their time, and just...feel.

Ah, of course, something more imporant then that is to be kind. Nobody likes someone who does not care for other's feelings. We can work together to achieve great things! I know we can!

Truly, if we could all work together.

It could all be so much..."

"Oh! You just wanted my name. Sorry about that! I'm Toru, and I know we'll get along!

We have to."

Physical Grade: A

Luck Grade: C

Forta - Weakly Negative
"Her desire to be a shield for others just seems to be sullied by her actions on the beach. Causing unnessecary conflict just because of her name. Which is funny, because she's a lot more interesting in your mind now, no?"

Kuuyari - Negative
"Fate. Inevitably. Perhaps she has a third eye? In the end she sees things. But seeing something doesn't matter if it still hits you. Being self-serving will only get her so far."

Kagami - Strongly Positive
"A common goal goes a long way. Plus, I do enjoy their company outside of class related things. So It's all good, right?"

Banri - Weakly Positive
"Rough beginnings, but as proved. People can move past initial opinions. Though I disapprove of some of his vulgar habits. We both enjoy nature and can at least commit to light conversation."

Rinne - Positive
"Her sense of justice may be simple. But sometimes simple is just what the world needs. In a place where there those who seek to lie. Her honesty is refreshing."

Fuka - Positive
"Her actions may be rather, uh, nonsensical. I cannot say that any of her actions have exactly been, straight wrong. If you think about it, they generally have some trail of logic in them. Following that, she is rather fun."

Kuni - Positive
"Kindness is the most valuable trait. I'm delighted that she decided to join the improvement club. She'll be a great addition!"

Takeshi - Weakly Negative
"One who subtly holds his opinion above all else. To prevent others from potentially leading breeds complacency. Which can only cause futher harm.

Kazuko - Weakly Negative
"It seems I have perhaps irritated her with my inquest over her interesting items. She scolds me for daring to smell the aroma of the sakura's. What is the point of beauty if we do not use our sight to gaze at it?"

Hayato - Positive
"While at first I was somewhat worried about his behaviour. It does seem that He is genuinely a respectable person. Now, if he could turn down his like of our predictament..."

Laura - Positive
"She understands the need for a good body! One can say that her personality, at least in my view, is of perfect grace to be a vital part of a team. If she could just see that a bit more. I think she could be of great help!"

Ryuu - Weakly Negative
"Eccentric, one could say. While I do give a nod to the work he has done in the café. I have to say he is a little...off?"

Aster - Negative
"I try to be as forgiving as one can be. But when your own carelessness and ignorance directly effects the whole class. That is something that unforunately I cannot get pass. I do wish Aster can one day do something to rise above his previous actions. But until then, he is a threat just being near him."

Edeir - Strongly Negative
"Simply put, his actions before we got to the prison were simply dangerous and unacceptable. Thankfully, he seems too rash to truly be a threat to others. More of an annoying pest, if one can excuse my poor language."

Murasame - Positive
"We've helped eachother with our flower arrangements. We don't get much so we got make sure we make do with what we have!"

Setsuko - Positive
"We're both not fond of tight spaces. It's nice to have someone who shares that feeling. Plus, she's a nice companion to have on my morning jogs."

Akira - Weakly Negative
"They seem to chastise me for holding the ideal of peace. I am not turned off by their attitude, but it does seem a little silly to dislike the idea of everything going well, no?"

- Has a Tattoo of a spider on his chest.

"Ehehe, insane? Well the squiddos tell me I'm the only one making sense, so I reject your reality and substitute my own!"

Basic Stuff 'n' All That: Faceclaim: Shukugawa Meguru (Source - Inochi no Spare)

Character Color: #ff0080
Given Name: Fuka
Age: 17
Height: 164
Date of Birth: 18/2

Starting Character Grades
Physical Grade: A
Intuition Grade: C
Luck Grade: B
Likes: Hugs
Fuka enjoys hugs from just about anyone, and it's one of the easiest ways to calm her down. Unfortunately, a much stronger part of her finds it awkward to get touched by strangers or anyone she's remotely annoyed with, so it also works as an easy way to get shoved around.

Singing
Though she hates singing herself, she actually loves the sound of other people singing, especially when it's not "sullied" by other instruments.

Idiots
Nothing like having someone completely dense beside you to help make you feel smarter.

Trouble
Especially when caused herself.

References
Any pop culture reference that even vaguely fits in with what she's saying. Sometimes even completely unrelated references.

Optimism
Though it's more of a psychological issue, Fuka tends to retain a state of optimism, even in totally inappropriate situations. This is less actual joy or happiness, and more of a mental guard she puts up to cope with incoming pain.

Foreign Languages
Being very fluent in English, she sometimes likes showing off her ability to make 'L' sounds and occasionally throws out English phrases and quotes. Fuka also likes to pretend she knows Italian, even though most of her vocabulary comes from choppy phrases taken from movie quotes.

Antagonists
The sort of people who have no problem causing major pain or stirring up tons of trouble.
Dislikes: Being ignored
Or worse, being treated as normal. This is an easy way to set Fuka on a chain of increasingly bizarre, nonsensical, and often drastic behaviors.

Home
Any mention of her home or family.

Intelligence
Fuka tends plays the innocent victim when confronted, and employs several other sneaky tactics to get away with things. As such, intelligent people who can see through things are a major pain.

'Good Guys'
Though in practice this isn't always true, she usually dislikes kind people.

Permanence
Things that last forever; things that can't be reversed.
Hobbies: Messing with people
Generally in very drastic and disruptive ways.

Reading
As long as it's fictional, it can keep her interest. Fantasy, sci-fi, and supernatural are preferred.

Video Games
See above.

Movies and TV
See above.

Pyrotechnics
All things "explosion." Fire is fun too.

Baking
Fuka is surprisingly incredible at cooking baked goods and pastries. Most people regard it as her most positive trait.
Fears: Hydrogen bombs
Realistically, "the fear of the sound of airplanes overhead." Knowing how truly destructive they are helps, even if the likelihood of one being on said plane is impossibly low.

Death
The death of anyone else. Ironically, she has no issue tormenting people, as long as it's not fatal.

Electrical outlets
—REDACTED— Fuka personally refuses to get near one, and always gets someone else to plug things in for her.

Hospitals
—REDACTED—
Self Intro: "Capitalism. Ehehe, where else would the value of people come from? What else do you want from me? Oh? Well okay…

"I'm the boundless optimist! The fighter of all the power! Wanna see what destruction looks like? Here it is in human form — it's your girl, Fuka. Ehehe. If you want to be really valuable, plug this into the wall there, okay? Grazi~!

—REDACTED—
(Kinda spoils her PLAN; figure it out IC)

"Are we done then? Neato."
First Impressions: Forta - Negative
"Cotton Candy has never tasted spicier."

(She must have some sort of grudge against me. Maybe the ID thing? If anyone has the right to be mad about that, it's me, so why is she so upset about it?)

Kuuyari - Strongly Positive
"My little Minto-chan can't possibly be this cute~"

(When we first met, I truly hated her for the things she said, but now that I've calmed down, I admire that verbal shredding. What a gift. And that whole ID mess was also her fault, wasn't it? I'm pretty sure her reasons are selfish, but it doesn't really matter: if she's making a mess of things, then I'll be there to make it worse. We're the perfect team.)

Kagami - Negative
"I love you, Kagami, and if that's disagreeable with you, then I'll have you disposed of right now~! Eheh, kidding, of course~"

(I wish he wouldn't act like a control freak to his future waifu. Deep down I'm pretty sure he's my ideal match: I just need to break him in. Once he stops denying his destiny, then we'll be a great match. Until then, he'll probably continue being an annoying roadblock.)

Toru - Positive
"Aaaaand here cooooomes: THE HERO CHOKER~!"

(Well he definitely made an impact. I don't mind being around him. Usually. Also, I like a guy who saves one girl by choking another for a second. At least he seems pretty anti-hero.)

Banri - Negative
"Dr. Eggman and his marvelous seasickness."

(Giving away his food...? He should've just thrown it away. Also, I could've sworn I saw him smoking once. That will destroy your future; it's not something to encourage.)

Rinne - Strongly Negative
"I shall never forget our Blueberry Pancake."

(What a petty girl. If you're going to get upset everytime you think I've 'betrayed' someone, then we may as well be the mortal enemies you think we are. I know what I'm doing is for the best: keep your twisted 'justice' out of it and stop getting in the way.)

Kuni - Negative
"Some Bubblegum needs to be chewed a bit."

(Or maybe she should be a Cinnamon Roll. Cooking? Anime-obsession? Fireworks? I don't care how great we are together: I don't need friends, and I definitely don't need one as perfect as this. Just leave me alone.)

Akira - Weakly Positive
"The honeybee to my flower."

(I don't know that anyone's looked at me like that since I got here. Are those sparks of passion or just my imagination? ...but I already have my waifu in Kagami. Still, I've always wanted to be part of a love triangle.)

Kazuko - Weakly Positive
"A more well-chewed Bubblegum. Nippon Banzai~!"

(One of the people I have to be careful around: I keep thinking she might perform Seppuku if I'm not careful. As scary as she is, I always love having someone owe me something.)

Hayato - Positive
"The walking punching bag."

(I don't know about him. Usually I don't like heroes, but he's seems pretty predictable, so I think we'll work out just fine.)

Laura - Weakly Negative
"Germany does a good Vanilla."

(She brings a lot of painful memories to the surfacewith that attitude.)

Ryuu - Weakly Negative
"Watch and be amazed as I vanish, right in front of your very eyes~"
Fuka walks away...

(Getting caught as a troublemaker is one thing, but getting caught by this guy is like everyone at once. Besides, he constantly steals people's attention from me. I don't see us getting along.)

Aster - Weakly Negative
"Astoru of the 'Crime-fighters Who Don't Fight Crime' team!"

(Maybe I don't hate him, but I'm still pretty salty about that day. Was it too much to ask for a little dining room brawl? Stand up for yourself and punch someone! The magazine incident was amazing though, so who knows.)

Edeir - Positive
"Lemon-chan and his quest for fabulousness."

(Entitled, relentless, and constantly stirring up conflicts. Lemon-chan is an amazing tool for me to use moving forward. Also, in honor of his lack of masculinity: Lemon - 4.)

Murasame - Strongly Negative
"Licorice-kun needs to liven up and move forward."

(Enough about your mother. She doesn't even seem to be doing it to spite me; she just sounds that pathetic. Honestly, move on and bury your dead already.)

Setsuko - Negative
"A.T. Fuka."

(Maybe if things had been different I would have turned out like this. My pity for her just makes it harder to do what's necessary.)

Character Quote: "To be fair I am actually a girl, not a guy"

Character Color: Lavander

Given Name: Murasame (Autumn Rain)

Age: 18

Height: 182cm

Date of Birth: 25, November

Likes:

Rare cooked meat- What's better than something juicy and very chewy and made of meat? Excellent source of protein
Calligraphy- Simple, relaxing, beautiful need more to say?
Flower Arranging- Same as calligraphy but fragrant and colorful
Pants: Less breezy than a skirt and fewer chances of a guy flipping it to see your underwear. Also more comforting in a way.

Dislikes:

Coffee: Very bitter too bitter for my taste
Box Spring Beds- I find it so hard to fall asleep when metal springs are cutting into the side of my body.
Jump Scares- They leave me feeling paranoid for half a day and they always make me feel like I'll have heart failure
Neon Colors- One word: Ugly

Hobbies:

Thriller stories- I like the feeling of the suspense and surprises the story tells. Also sometimes an interesting way of death.
Cloud gazing- it's a lazy pastime where I can let my mind wander and make shapes out of the clouds
Painting- I'm no master but I have a fair hand and I like to use all the colors.

Fears:

Large spiders- I'm fine with small little house spiders but it's the spiders like Camel Spiders and Huntsmen spiders that freak me out. I look at them and want to bath them in a fire.
Buried Alive- I don't think I need to explain that.
Dying alone- I admit it but I'm not saying why

Self Introduction:

I've been called mommy's little girl more as an insult than anything. I used to hide behind my mother when I was shy, I would run to my mother when I was afraid, I would tell my mother anything she asks or I thought she should know. I belonged to my mother, she was like a general and I was the faithful and subservient soldier if you wanna think of it that way. What about my dad you ask? He was in my life I cared for him...but I was more distant from him than my mother clearly. I was solely loyal.

I showed her my total loyalty. Of course, don't go around thinking cause I was such a suckup for my mother I devoted all my time to her. I had friends in school, few but I had some. There was only one friend, my best friend, Miyaki Shizuka who held my loyalty to faintly similar way as I did with my mother. That became that way cause she told me all her secrets and everything else, I was trustable. I knew how to keep secrets. Though after she moved Nara I became depressed admittedly. This was around the time my mother my mother also became depressed.

When that happened it worsened mine. Voices started to speak in my head of suicide. My mother had the same thoughts though I was late to realize, even with all my help to try to get her out of the dumps. When she died I really wanted to die and almost did like a bird who became so attached to someone that when they pass they literally die of heartbreak. My loyalty became my downfall.

Luck Grade: C

Character Theme: Blue Foundation- Eyes On Fire (Zeds Dead Mix)

Relationships:

Forta (Positive)- She's blunt and bit annoying. Other than that she's fine. She seems to give off an air of importance somehow...I want to be close to her for that, she may help me out in the future.

Kuuyari- (Weakly positive)- This girl speak much? She's quiet...kinda creepy at times, but as they say speech is silver, silence is golden. She's someone I think I can be around and just the presence is enough no meaningless words needed. Hope she doesn't come to dislike me...I feel she may be dangerous otherwise.

Kagami- (Weakly Negative)- Can't say much about this one...Haven't been around or heard much about Kagami-san...So I don't know really what to think of Kagami aside from what I have seen.

Toru-(Positive)- We haven't talked a great deal just enough for me to think he's a good guy. He likes my flower arranging which I thank him for. He will do.

Banri-(Strongly Negative)- Don't talk to him don't ever want to. Seems so damn high on his horse he couldn't even tell me what color the ground below him is. So freaking serious don't even know a joke in front of his damn nose. So black and white when he speaks I can hear my brain cells committing suicide one by one. Hope he drops dead and when he does I'll drink to that.

Rinne-(Positive)- All honesty she's not a bad person from what I've seen...which is ironic since every single person in this place is a criminal.

Fuka-(Strongly Negative)- Big breasted bimbo she is. She looks more like she belongs in an asylum then this place. She needs a straitjacket and a bottle of chill pills, maybe then I can talk to her and be okay. I will not be getting any better with her.

Kuni-(Weakly Positive)- S-she is rather flattering when it comes to what she has to say about my arts. She greatly likes my painting and calligraphy, some people don't appreciate that stuff anymore since they call it "old-fashioned." not everything has to revolve damn electronic's. The way she goes about herself is rather uplifting in a way. I think our relationship shall grow stronger as we are around each other longer.

Takashi-(Weakly Positive)- Now this guy the psudo-genius in this prison, He seems for sure like he was student council president when he went to school, especially with how serious he is. I mean he takes liking in stuff that normal people hate and try to avoid...because of that I think he might be useful in backup support in an argument or something likewise later on. He is interesting but an off-putting I think.

Kazuko-(Weakly Positive)- We may defer on a lot of things but we have a mutrual respect over traditonal life style things that our relationship has started over. I thing she can be a bit dangerous to be around sometimes since she gives off that kind of feeling, I think that's my worst dislike about her, otherwise I like a lot of the things she does...and can have some kind of understanding to her dislikes.

Hayato- (Weakly Positive)- He's an oddball for sure. Seems to love everything even this hole in the wall "prison" call Hisakawa. Well, it's kinda annoying how he goes on about loving everything, but at least he's not making rude remarks about my appearance or likes or my uh...obsession with my mother would be accurate to put it even though I may not like to think of it that way...it's the truth though. Getting sidetracked. Well, he's strange, but not Fuka strange so I'll deal with him for a while yet and hope he doesn't sour.

Laura-(Positive): She has morre likes then dislikes but a lot of fears. She isn't an arrogant person I think. I have respect for this girl...and in all honesty I rather like the name Laura...sounds fancy

Ryuu-(Positive)- He seems very formal and business like from what I have heard and seen of him so far.

Aster-(Strongly Negative)- What kinda name is Aster? What's this guy's deal? Someone take his pocky as a child and has had a grudge against the world since? Someone needs to give this overgrown man-child his candy back so he's not pissing everyone else off!!

Edeir-(Strongly Positive)- Edeir...even stranger name then Aster, but the difference I actually really like Edeir. He is kinda well built and is fairly intelligent so I don't feel like I'm talking to a wall or have to rely on a stuffed bear to help me out with something heavy or something like that. But then comes the downside to him...he hates females (Which makes me think he might be gay, not that it's really a problem.) and he hates Japanese...both of which I am. In fact, though I think he is still hell-bent on thinking I'm male so...I may not correct him.

Setsuko- (Weakly Positive)- Doesn't mix with crossdressers? Well, screw you too Setsuko. Don't like overly feminine girls anyway's. My only problem...well I can over look the overly feminine part...but I hate that other thing about her...

Random Factoids – He may not be the brightest out there but he finds it interesting to learn odd information most would deem worthless. He also likes to break down words into their root meanings.
Daydreaming – Thinking about the world's possibilities and what lies beyond his scope of view is always more interesting than his mundane life. He'll rarely focusing on anything happening around him as a result and tends to get lost in his thoughts.
Chalk – The dust it makes, the powdery lines it draws, and the squeak of it on a chalkboard is soothing to him for whatever reason. He always carries a stick of it in his pocket that has suspicious looking bite marks on it…
Cold Weather – A chilly winter day is fine, but a blistering blizzard is even better. Whether he's has all the windows in his house opening the windows and letting the weather in or running out to be in the midst of it he's always happy when it's cold. As a result even if it's extremely cold inside he'll never turn on the heat. Never.
Tall/big People – If someone towers over him he finds it really uncomfortable and tries to avoid standing too close to them so they don't seem so large. Bonus points if they're really buff or chubby.
Perfume – Fragrances claw at his throat and make it hard for him to breath or focus. He hates them so much he'll go as far as to lie and say he has an allergic reaction to them so wearers of the horrid stuff have to stay away from him.
Being Naked – Taking his clothes off to bathe or even just wearing his underwear is always an uncomfortable experience for him. If someone even just saw him with his shirt off he'd freak out and try to cover up.
Cereal – It's just dried up grains dunked in milk that gets soggy too fast and isn't even filling. What's the point of it?
Video Games – Who doesn't like to play video games (plenty of people)? His favourite are fantasy RPGs and will occasionally deviate to Dungeons and Dragons if there's no interesting games to play at the moment. He gets really into DND when he does play though so don't ask him to.
Manga – He's a big fan of romance manga and American superhero comics, as strange as that seems. He'll read just about anything he can get his hands on though.
Dancing – He knows just about every dance that he's seen in an anime or J pop music video, resulting in him being quite agile, but he would NEVER let someone live to tell about it. He might be a dork but it doesn't mean he wants people to know exactly how much of one he is.
Cryptography – Sticking his nose into things that don't concern him is what he does best, but doing it discreetly does even more. No would notice if he could (or tried to) read their super-secret code written in their journal, right?
Being Alone – He has a difficult time making friends so he'll often adopt a joker persona in hopes people will like him more, though his persona has become more of his actual personality at this point.
Needles – They're just small and pointy and stabby and creepy. Need he say more?
Spiders – If he saw one he would freak out and start screaming, possibly crying too. He was never bitten by one or had any overly traumatic experiences with them but it doesn't mean his mind didn't come up with one for him.

Self-Introduction:
[dash]

What gives a person values? Who really has values to begin with? What are values? The definition of the word value is, 'something that is held to be in importance, worth, or regard,' but who decides if something or someone is important, worthful, or… regardful? Do I get to? Do people as a whole come to an agreement? That's seems pretty impractical. Maybe some person in the sky decided what is of value and we all subconsciously follow their decision. Perhaps long ago some people did get together and decided what was of value.

Either way, are the values Human beings hold dear to them even worth something? Mary Sue could decide human life is of the greatest value while I think burritos are. Clearly one of the two just seems ridiculous but now you're deciding what is actually valuable. Maybe I actually do believe burritos are the most valuable thing in the world, but would I ever shout that to sky?

No.

Why?

Because like all Human beings I'm afraid of judgment by my fellow man. That's what gives me values. Fear, if you will. Look at the world around you; some people value Human life while others might think some Human's lives are of less value than others. What prevents them from deciding to kill that scumbag Marcus at work? Fear. They fear what will happen to them if they decided to poison his coffee or just stab him in the neck with a pen. Even if it was a heat of the moment murder they'll be crying as they get taken away by the police because they know they'll face punishment for their actions. If society didn't decide what was right or wrong for you no one would have values. Fear of punishment of what gives a person a sense of what is right or wrong. Fear gives you values.

Wait, that wasn't the question? It was value without the 's'? Um, ignore everything I just said!

Starting Character Grades
Physical Grade: C
Intuition Grade: D
Luck Grade: C

Kazuko – Strongly Positive
From seeing her on the boat to Hikasawa Aster had the impression she was definitely someone he shouldn't mess with and once the magazine thing happened he was sure she would kill him. That may be why she was the only person he gave a full compensation but surprisingly they wound up being something like friends? Not that he'd ever say as much to her in case she decides she doesn't like the sound of that and kicks his teeth in but he'll be keeping close to her in case someone decides to extract revenge on him. Hopefully she'll get that she's supposed to protect him...

Kuni – Positive
She is so nice Aster wonders if he deserves it. After as the mistakes and muck ups he's made she's one of the few people who are still nice to him, unless she's faking it. She seems rather genuine to him though so he thinks of her as the one friend he has and will treasure her company until they graduate and maybe even after. If something were to happen to her he wouldn't know what'd he do.

Ryuu – Positive
Comes as a really smooth criminal(his skin looks super soft, not that he stared at him for five minutes wondering how he doesn't get bruises from just wearing heavy clothing) but despite knowing he might be up something he can't help but be drawn to him just cause he seems so cool! He the kind of person Aster wishes he could be but since he wound up meeting someone who fits the bills he'll just wind up following him around and gushing over how cool he is. It's probably not a crush...

Banri – Weakly Positive
Banri's nice; a little… aggressive, but nice. Aster is forever in his dept for telling him about the cell's horrors back on the boat but at the same time he feels like if he becomes too close to him he'll have to pick between him and the rest of the class. He seems like a lone wolf type that thinks friends are worthless and all that junk but he'll still be nice to him. After all, if Toru sees through his fake friendship Banri might thwart him off. Hopefully.

Kuuyari – Weakly Negative
She's creepy, to say the least. He's not sure if she can see into the future but if she really can he doesn't want to know what's in store for him since it can't be anything good considering his luck. At the same time, if he did ask would she have been able to tell him about his major screw up before it happened of would have just been really vague and unhelpful? He'll have to do some research before he decides to man up and talk to her about creepy future stuff.

Laura – Weakly Negative
She seemed the most upset over that silly thing that happened so he tried to pay her back as much as he could, but not entirely since Kazuko was pretty scary. However Laura didn't really seem to care about the money but more about the principal that he got duped. He wished she would just ignore that little detail but it's pretty clear from the glare she always seemed to have focus on him whenever he so much as glances at her that she won't be letting go of her grudge anytime soon. He doesn't blame her for it but that won't stop him from trying to come up with a way to get in her good graces.

Rinne – Weakly Negative
Though Fuka told him some bad stuff about her and he doesn't quite trust her word, Rinne still seems like someone she would watch out for. She seemed really mad over the incident calling him a thief and raving about injustice. She didn't end up hitting him but he was shaking in his boots from her slightly fanatical ranting as it was. She seems like she's calmed down since then but if wouldn't hurt to be a little cautious around her… like a ten foot radius of caution.

Takashi – Weakly Negative
He wishes he could listen to that advice Takashi gave him but all it does if haunt him whenever he reflects on what a coward he is. He feels like he him down and wishes he could try to make it up to him, but he knows in order to do that he should just do what Takashi had said in the first place and stop being such a coward. Why does it sound like such an easy thing to do yet it's so hard?! He might dislike him a tiny bit for giving him such an impossible task.

Fuka – Weakly Negative
Something about her rubs him the wrong way. At first she seemed like a nice, but dangerous girl to hang around but ever since the conversation they had on the beach, if you could even call it one, he's been a bit wary of her. He's not exactly sure why he's so twisted into knots over her but maybe eventually he'll find out. In the meantime he'll just assume he happens to get a bout of food poisoning whenever she's around.

Forta – Negative
Once again another person who got really mad at him because he committed an injustice act against everyone. Why can't she just blame the guy that sold him swim mag instead of him? He's the real evil doer here! Complaining won't do anything to change the fact he's the target of her unbridled fury so to speak so all he can do is try to stay out of her way and make amends when he can. Hopefully he won't screw that up too.

Kagami – Negative
He's really sorry he screwed up but he hasn't had the chance to say it to Kagami for the one thousandth time since he has his possy around him all the time. He just wanted to help do a good thing for everyone but he screwed even that up. He deserves all the hate he has aimed at him, but most of all especially Kagami's. Maybe he can save up his own money to (hopefully) buy the legit electronics manual but in the meantime that won't stop him from trying to make things right with him.

Hayato – Negative
He doesn't dislike Hayato, other than the fact he ran off in the woods and almost died(he was alone and afraid in the prison, since he started to stick to him like an unwanted parasite), but more so he's afraid he dislikes him. He wasn't around to get partial ownership of a swimsuit mag but for whatever reason he's paranoid he hates him for one reason or another. After all, doesn't everyone?

Toru – Negative
At first he seemed like a pleasantly chatty smart guy but as time went on he learned to fear him and his sudden mood swings...if you could call them that. Toru is like that weird kid in school you think would come in one day with a machine gun and murder everyone; in favor of his own survival he'll be a good enough friend to not be a target but not so close that he'd might give him a gun too to help with his murderous rampage.

Edeir – Negative
He's a little bundle of… death? All he's seen him do is punch people or try to kill them and that's not exactly a nice thing to do. Everyone seems to think when he jumped into the ocean he was going to save Hayato and Edeir but they couldn't be more wrong… If Edeir had drowned would he technically have killed him? Let's just be happy Forta saved him then so he doesn't have to think about it.

Murasume – Strongly Negative
Whenever he first met Murasume you could say she was the start of a domino effect that caused everyone to dislike him, not that she is the reason behind his misfortune. For whatever reason no one had figured out she was girl so everyone kept getting mad for misgendering 'him' until she finally decided to speak up and say he was right. Maybe everyone would have been hunky dory after that if he was able to keep his mouth shut and refrain from saying she looked more manly than most of the guys at the prison. Yikes, if there's no hard feelings there then hell must've frozen over.

Setsuko – Strongly Negative
He didn't even know who she was until the fundraiser for the manual began. She seemed like a nice person he wanted to get to know better but once he screwed everyone over any hopes of that went out the window. She super hates him and there's nothing he can do about it. Maybe he should have gotten the nerve to introduce himself more formally so there's was the off chance she wouldn't hate him so much now?

Reading: Books are the whetstone to sharpen the mind, so who would choose to not read? Edeir particularly enjoys reading nonfiction and newspapers rather than clogging his mind with made up garbage.
Tea: Can you smell it? The faint scent of bergamot? What you're smelling is Yorkshire Gold; a tea far better than any crap coffee you'd find at Starbucks.
Playing devil's advocate: He doesn't try to rile people up on purpose... All Edeir wants is to encourage a different point of view that he may not even agree with.
Being worshiped: Everyone likes to feel appreciated, right? Well Edeir is far worthier of more than mere appreciation. Get down on your knees heathen! This is a god you're talking to!
Salt: The smell of it is utterly unbearable. The flavour is merely vomit inducing! Being exposed to it for long periods can give Edeir headaches or make him feel nauseous. Perfume is his trusty weapon against the scent and for the taste; starvation.
Females: It's not as though he sees women as inferior, he just finds them immensely annoying. Tomboys, girly girls, why do they insist on being so different from each other? And why are they known as the fairer sex? He could wear a dress better than any girl could, just try it!
The Japanese: Edeir didn't ask to be in Japan, thus the country and all its people will pay even though they have nothing to do with it. He despises the language and culture and resists taking part in it.
Incompetence: An idiot can be told what to do even if they can't do to their task well. Someone who's incompetent though? They're just stupid, blind to the fact, and they're uncooperative!
Being Ignored: Ignoring people in general is rude, but ignoring him? Absolutely unforgivable!
Piano: The sound of music isn't nearly as enjoyable as when you're creating it with your own hands.
Fencing: One of the most elegant sports there are. In hindsight, it should really be considered an art.
Chemistry: Compared to the other sciences, chemistry is one of the most interesting and immediately useful. Why, by using everyday household cleaning chemicals you could make your own sedatives and poisons!
Thinking: From reinventing the wheel to conjuring up schemes, Edeir could easily pass the days away lost in the labyrinth of his mind.
Being ugly: Looks are everything in such a shallow world. Can you imagine how devastating it would be to be otherwise?
Being inferior: They say there's always someone better than you. Hopefully that's not true, otherwise you can never become the best.
Lack of control: Whether it's physically or metaphorically having your hands tied, it's never a pleasant feeling.

Self-Introduction:

What gives a person value is obviously their usefulness. Evidence of that is everywhere. Humans throughout life are always being taught, tested, and graded on their abilities. It's why from birth you're placed in a school and have different bits of knowledge thrown at you until something sticks. And when that something sticks you're expected to get better at it and make it the focus of your limited existence so that, when you're finally ready for the real world, you can hired and paid in accordance to how good you are at that thing you've been doing. That's why if you're not good at anything you end up on the streets, love, so the bad people who are good at culling away the useless bits of the population can cut you open and steal your useful insides. Then it's sold to people who are actually useful.

What a silly question to ask when there's only one answer. Honestly, what else would some idiot say? Compassion? People aren't paid for being good. ...That's why criminals are so rich.

Forta - Weakly Negative
I never cared for heroes. And what was with that whole ID thing? It was her fault we were stuck on the beach for so long. I feel like I still stink of salt!

Kuuyari - Weakly Negative
People with supernatural abilities aren't meant to be taken lightly. That being said, it'd be wise to not draw their attention either. I did hear after all that she can cast curses...

Kagami - Strongly Negative
She, he, it; whatever they are, seems to have plans for the class. Because they have plans they seem to think their self a leader. I don't give a frig what they're up to because all they do is get in the way.

Toru - Strongly Negative
I'm no psychiatrist but I think he has bipolar disorder. He is, or tries to be anyway, so cheerful but then he just snaps? It's mildly disconcerting to say the least. All in all he gives me the impression of someone who went to one of those self help inspirational conventions and unknowingly got brainwashed into a health junkie cult. I suppose it doesn't sound like a bad thing when I put it that way but fuck! he could use some cynicism.

Banri - Strongly Negative
A fucking piece of shit. Nothing would would bring me more joy than to see this edge lord drop dead. He's a little bitch and I'm pretty sure he's the one who's been telling people that I tried to kill him and the others. The nerve. And don't get me started on his smoking! Bloody hell, the smell of it clings to his clothes like perfume! I'm running out of perfume trying to combat the stench!

Rinne - Weakly Positive
Ah, another hero. And such a terribly cliched one at that! Too bad she's not even a good one. So stupid and naive and idealistic, oh, don't get me wrong. I don't dislike her! On the contrary, I find her rather entertaining to watch. I'm right there on the edge of my seat waiting to see what she'll muck up next...

Fuka - Positive
She's entirely bonkers but, as it's been said, all the best people are.

Kuni - Positive
Well it's... kinda of cute. How she likes cute things. Not that I'm saying she's cute. Although she is. I mean, it's because she looks cute. Because she has cute things...

Takeshi - Negative
I don't trust him. He seems like the quiet, schemer type, just biding his time and waiting for... something. An opportune moment to pull whatever he's planning. Maybe it's nothing, which it likely is, but he is unsettling. I don't take kindly to how he likes to throw around terms for me like 'childish' like it's fact but then say that it's not. Make your mind you git.

Kazuko - Weakly Positive
Despite her patriotism she at least has more sense than anyone else here. She's stubborn, but not in an egotistical sense but more by way of confidence. It's rather refreshing compared to the other imbeciles in this god forsaken place. I feel as though we could become good friends or bitter enemies as time goes on. I'd personally prefer the former.

Hayato - Negative
A meddlesome tick. No one, and I mean no one, is so altruistic. Sure, you have your hero types who try to break up conflict, but volunteering to be a punching bag as a first resort solution to everything? And I don't even think he's a real masochist. Something's not right with him. I don't know what it is but I don't think I'm keen on finding out.

Laura - Strongly Positive
It is unbelievably relieving to know someone I can speak to in English(not that Laura is the only one, but Fuka isn't as fluent). Additionally, we share some similar values and have an understanding on how this prison system works. As such, she asked me to teach her about Japanese 'culture' and she teaches me manners. Not that I'm ill mannered, mind you, but it never hurts to brush up on the basics. In any case, I find her pleasant to talk to, even if we are only associates. After all, she understands as well as I that only a fool would go to jail to make 'friends'.

Ryuu - Negative
A puzzle to be sure but I'm not sure I like how the pieces are fitting together. I thought we shared similar ideologies but I'm not quite sure. He wears a cross but has never mentioned anything about being religious. He practises sleight of hand... I know there's nothing magical or supernatural about it but... It's extremely unnerving nonetheless. A bit of a deal breaker to honest. Tis a shame, I thought he was rather handsome too.

Aster - Negative
He represents everything I hate in a person: stupidity, weakness, and cowardice. The only redeeming quality he possesses is 'harmless'. He's of no threat to me but that doesn't make him particularly bearable to be around. Oh, and that thing about the swimsuit magazine? Tch, I didn't even want to pool in money anyway and hearing about Aster's little mistake was really of no surprise. He'll have to try harder to surprise me with his incompetence.

Murasame - Strongly Positive
Seems like a unqiue oddball in a way. He comes off as a little standoffish but that might be because his mother died or some such; I don't really care about the details. In any case, it'll be nice to have someone to talk to who's not privy to the hearsay of the others. Yet, anyway...

Setsuko - Strongly Negative
Get over your boyfriend already. All time she goes on and on about 'Oh, this reminds me of my boyfriend!' or 'My boyfriend would have loved this!' Well, not exactly in those words but you understand my meaning. From my understanding, I don't even think they're dating anymore. I'd say she should move on already and find another fish, but I'd hate to hear how much she'll go on about them when they're actually dating.

[LOCKED]
Here is a boring, shameful story of mine.

Kids my age are idiots, but I'm sure I surpass them all. Feel free to look down on me, despise my failings, curse me.

But just look at me.

The middle school I went to not only had the misfortune of starting earlier than the other schools, but also had useless group activities once every week. They revolved around a random question and we would be forced to discuss amongst a group of four. Ostensibly, it was arranged so kids bad at talking would have chances to speak up, but I'm not sure if it ever served its purpose.

I didn't participate in them. Why? It was just stupid. So, I'd reply with useless non answers.

"Hey, ██████-san say something."
"Give up on this bastard, Handa-san."

Two of my group members reprimanded me and eventually the group work and thus the school day came to an end. As was my routine, I was in my seat, thinking about useless thoughts.

("Would I choose to be the most unfortunate person in the world? Or the second most unfortunate?")

I didn't even need a second to decide; the answer was obvious. It's obviously the former, and I'm sure that answer would remain the same for most people. But it's strange, isn't it? I suppose if one were to fail, they would want to fail magnificently rather than mediocrely. And that made some sense to me. People would donate to starving kids in Africa but it's not like anyone would donate to me. I understand they're in a more dire situation than I am, but through donations they get love from others. As for me, even if I search the entire world, I wouldn't be able to find anyone who loves me. Damn.

"I guess it doesn't really matter."

I then went to the library to check out light novels. Rather than looking up the reviews for the titles online, I went with how cute the girl was on the cover. If she wasn't cute, I'd put it back.

There, as I was picking through the shelves, someone called my name.

"Oh, do you come here often, Hayato-kun?

And, I saw her.
Yes, I said "saw" and not "met". She was Airi Hoshino and the fourth member of that group I mentioned.

She's a lively girl that seemed to get along with anyone and everyone, always addressing others by their first name and -kun. And this girl showed me a huge grin, as if she saw the funniest thing in the world.

To her simple question, I responded…

"U-u-u-um, ah, huh? What?"

I stuttered and sounded like an idiot. To this, Hoshino-san's expression turned serious.

"Even though you had such a great answer, the response wasn't that good from our members, wasn't it? I think salt and pepper cookies could be a big hit!"

Hoshino-san genuinely thought my stupid non-answer was a great answer. But it wasn't unexpected from her, as she had some really dumb sounding answers like "soy sauce to the macaroni and cheese could be refreshing", or "tuna fish and jello!" Unlike me though, she was sincere or a skilled actor. Since she was never in any drama club, I assumed the former. I prayed for her distorted taste buds.

Honestly, Handa and Sakurazaki, my two group members, have my condolences. To be paired with me, who gave useless bullshit, and Hoshino-san who seriously said weird stuff, it must have been tiring.

"Ah, i-i-i-is that so?"

I mumbled that response back to her, not meeting her eyes and in a low voice.

"That is so! And oh?"

She pointed at the light novel I was holding.

"That's a light novel, isn't it? Got any recommendations, Hayato-kun?"
"…"

My hands were trembling and my thumbs pushed down on the pages so hard that I wouldn't have been surprised if the pages fused together. It was an involuntary reaction.

I didn't understand her.

Why would she, who was constantly chit chatting with her friends, strike up a conversation with someone as depressing as me?

I looked up from the light novel I was staring at to look at her. I was hoping to convey a "what do you want" sort of face, but Hoshino-san didn't seem to get the reason for my behavior, and tilted her head in confusion. For a few moments, we remained silent, staring at each other.

"…I just wanted to talk to you. Please, let me be your disciple."

My stoic face crumbled as I processed her words.

"Huh?"
I couldn't keep up with her and while I remained perplexed, Hoshino-san lowered her head deeply towards me, revealing the beautiful nape of her neck. What the hell was this? Was this sort of new play girls did? I didn't understand at all!

"L-l-lift your head, please."

If anyone else were to see it, I would definitely be misunderstood and hurt. After hearing my plea, Hoshino-san seemed bemused by this stupid me and chuckled as she got up.

I could say, without hyperbole, that I let out the deepest sigh this year, saying,

"What's going on?"

Hoshino-san seemed to realize she didn't explain herself first.

"Ah!" she yelled, and continued,

"Because you're an amazing person, Hayato-kun."
"Amazing?"
"Yeah. During that group work! You have a really cool, analytical personality that watches everything from above, right? You didn't seem to care about how anyone else thinks about you. Or is it to say that you won't just go along so easily?"
"No… That's not it."
"Not actually it?"
"I just don't have any friends…"

It's tragic, but it's the truth. And I can't do anything about it. If I'm deemed to be amazing, then Hoshino-san is on the level of a once-in-a-millennium monster.

Hoshino-san shook her head.

"Ah, no, you might have fewer friends, but that's not the case. Speaking of which, it feels like you don't want to make friends. I'll say that you won't really go out to get on anyone's good side. You ignore their opinions, or something like that. Anyway, I find that cool. I really admire that."

You can praise me however you want, but I don't think that's right at all. Still, it's rare for me to get a single word of praise in a year, let alone have someone call to me outside of class. Yay.

I was actually quite delighted.

Still, I had to correct her.

"Actually I do care about how others think of me."
"For example?"
"I'm happy to be praised for being 'cool'."

After I pointed that out, Hoshino-san chuckled. She then hit my chest with her fist in a playful manner, causing me to drop the light novel I was holding.

"You aren't the type to get conceited by praise. But this is different, isn't it? It's like dropping a 500 yen coin when walking on the road, isn't it? That's different from me, from us. So… I'm envious of you, Hayato-kun."

I had no idea what that metaphor meant. But even I understood she was admonishing herself in some vague way. Still, her voice didn't sound sad at all; she sounded almost like she was joking when she said those words. When I was about to press her further, I heard a few voices behind the shelves.

"Airi~~. Where are you?"
"She got lost, didn't she?"

It seemed Hoshino-san had come with friends. She looked shocked as she turned towards the voices. I wonder if she met me without telling them first. Or she was just really lost and happened to stumble upon me.

"They're calling for you. Bye bye." I waved my hand.
"I'll ask you about being your disciple again next time." She waved her hand back.

"We'll talk next time, my tentative master."

What's with that title? In any case I sighed once Hoshino-san was out of sight. It was tiring talking to people; the fatigue really hit me. Ah, what a complex feeling.

But just when I thought she was gone, she popped her head back, looking at the aisle I was still in. She had a serious look on her face. And she said something ridiculous.

"Hayato-kun."
"…What?"
"If I let you touch my breasts, can you vote for me when I run for student council president?"
"What?!"

What did I hear? Of course, I, being asked this all of a sudden, couldn't answer. After some silence, Hoshino-san gave a mischievous smile.

"Just kidding."
And she vanished once more behind the bookshelf.

She definitely misunderstood. It's dumb. She shouldn't envy someone like me. It's true that I don't care about what others think. I only have a tiny bit of interest in that kind of thing.

Just a tiny bit.

But she didn't know the reason why I became like this.

She can't be on friendly terms with me. Even though nobody knew that I was going to swap seating positions, even though nobody wanted to pair with me during P.E., even though nobody asked me out during the culture festival, even though no girls knew of my first time, even though nobody would care for my help in group work. Even so, even when I'm trash, as long as I ignore the stares from everyone else, I can live.

And even though I said those words, life is a funny thing. Just seven days. Seven days later…

[August 21st, 37 days before ████]

There has to be a word for it. Would this be something like a Baader-Meinhof for people? You don't meet a person until a special circumstance, then the encounter rate for that person goes higher.

Hoshino-san and I met again.

It might be surprising, but I visit the planetarium outside the city once or twice a month after school. It's not like I have a particular interest in stars, or that the night sky is pretty. But I just like the planetarium nonetheless. Don't ask me why, I don't know the answer.

I met her there.

She was on the other side, sitting in a chair. Maybe it was because it was a weekday, but there was nobody else in the planetarium besides me and her. I could hear faint sobs and her head was touching her knees.

I went up to her and asked.

"Why are you crying?"

Perhaps she knew I was here, because she didn't seem shocked.

"I wasn't."

She looked at me with a serious expression. But tears were still trickling down her face.

"You look like you're crying though?"
"Y-y-y-you're wrong about that."
"Did you just hiccup?"
"Just your imagination."
"Do you swear to the planetarium god?"
"Of course."

She was so stubborn. I gave up trying to prove her wrong. Instead I took out a wrapped onigiri from my pocket, and handed it to her.

"Here. You won't cry if you eat something."

I could have said something more interesting, but that was what came to my mind first.

She didn't talk, but received the onigiri. After I saw this, I turned my back on her and made to leave. I was pretty embarrassed from doing something like that.

But I was stopped. My right hand was grabbed and I was pulled towards her. Her hand felt really warm. I turned around and saw Hoshino-san with tears in her eyes. She spoke with a faint and tiny voice.

"I really envy you, Hayato-kun."

That's a lie. She merely said that on a whim. Hoshino-san couldn't possibly admire garbage like me. Kids in Africa can get aid, but people won't care about me. So there's no reason for me to be envied.

I pulled my hand out of her grip, and ran away.

I don't know why. Ah, I'm stupid.

When I was finally a good distance away from the planetarium, I stopped myself to catch my breath and thought on her words.

The lie she spoke.

Even so, even though it was such an obvious lie. I'm sure I fell for her, who envied trash like me. And I thought,

("If it's for her, maybe I'll try once more…")

And that was the mistake-no, maybe just a little spark. It would still take a bit more time before my rebellion that ruined everything started…
I knew nothing about Hoshino-san.

Till the very end, I did not know why Hoshino-san cried at the planetarium.

If I had to guess, it was a feeling that I would be deeply involved with whatever was the cause.

Thus, I did not dig further into this, and left the scene. In other words, I ran away.

For I did not want to be hurt.

Trash.

What a fitting word for me.

If I had a chance to defend my actions, I would say that I wasn't like this all the time.

A year ago.

I took the same bus with Ryoji.

Though I saw Ryoji Kawamoto for the first time at the entrance ceremony, I had known his name for much longer. He had too many accomplishments to mention. A few were things like winning a district painting contest at seven years old, getting a one shot published in a famous manga magazine at ten, saving his classmates when they were stuck in the forest for five days at thirteen years old, and speaking English, Japanese, and Chinese fluently by the age of fourteen. Of course he never got anything less than a perfect score in his classes, at least according to the rumors. The list of his exploits was so long and extensive that it inspired the newspaper club to dedicate a section to him. And for all of his achievements and successes, none of that showed in his demeanor; he was kind to everyone and sociable, never boasting or looking down on others. Ryoji Kawamoto was, to put it lightly, a handsome genius near everyone loved, and was already the star of the class the moment he entered middle school, males and females always smiling at him. His more popular nicknames were "Isekai Bastard", "Ikemen", "Superman", and "Hero of Justice".

But his most amazing deed to me was…

"Eh? Is it really fine?"
"It's ok Ryoji~~~"
"Get your hands off him, witch!"
"B-b-b-b-both of you get your hands off...!"
"Ara ara~~"

Getting an actual harem. In less than a year he had ensnared the hearts of four girls. And they weren't just a set of pretty faces, each one of them had their own impressive set of accomplishments. And yet, according to rumors, Ryoji was gunning for more, reaching for the stars.

Even when I see such a cliché scene as I make my way onto the bus, I'm really awed by him. I'm just blown away. To me, who's untalented and lacking in every way that matters, he's someone I should be hating, but that's not the case. Looking down on Ryoji made me feel small; he's that kind of special.

It just so happened that Ryoji took the same bus as me.

"Oh, Hayato-san. Can I sit next to you?"

He sat beside me, his body redolent of oranges and other fruits. Was it due to the soap he used or was it because those girls sticking close to his body that some of their perfumes came off on him? And with a natural attitude, he just talked to me, casually referring to my first name with -san; it's almost a supernatural art.

He intended to talk to me.

"Speaking of which, I've hardly talked to you. We never talked at all since the opening ceremony, did we?"
"Well, yeah."

He was overly casual, and I reflexively answered. I couldn't ignore him.

"That's the case, isn't it? We never got assigned to the same group, and you always vanish after school or during noon break. But since club activities are on hold today, I got this chance to talk to you."
"Eh, but I'm just a weak existence that will vanish at any given moment now, right?"
"Don't just disappear man. There are still people on this world who want to know you."
"From what planet?"
"Earth. Huh? What's with that answer? What are you normally thinking of?"
"Starving kids in Africa or something."
"O-Oh, that sounds amazing."

Of course, I wouldn't say that as a resident living in a first world country on this world, I'm always hating this world.

But Ryoji seemed to have misunderstood something, and nodded away.

"You're amazing. My perspective of you is different now. If you're thinking about such things from middle school, you're going to get a Nobel Prize down the road."
"You're thinking too much into this, Kawamoto-san. I heard that you feel anxious whenever you see people hold chopsticks improperly. Is that correct?"
"It's true. Well, to explain it, it's probably because my sister is clumsy, and I just ended up being picky about it. OCD? Anyway, it's a weird facet of me."

I suddenly noticed something.

I was conversing normally with a classmate. To others, it might have been something really normal, but it's abnormal to me.

Thus, I couldn't help but stare at Ryoji; he tilted his head in confusion, but I kept staring at him. In order, I looked at his nose, eyes, ears, mouth, and hair, and I understood something.

Ryoji Kawamoto had a special ability.

The definite god-given ability to attract other people to him.

"Hey, what's wrong? You see a ghost behind me or something?"

Until he spoke up, I had just kept staring blankly at him; his ability startled me that much.

"Ah, no."

It's like I'm making contact with aliens.

"By the way, Kawamoto-san, is it true that your hair and eye color are natural? What about your girlfriends? Why aren't they riding this bus with you? And is it true you treat girls better than boys? And-"

The genius raised his index finger.

"Wait wait wait, Hayato-san. Slow down a bit."
"Ah, sorry."
"It's no big deal. Yes, my hair and eye color are as natural as your black hair and brown eyes."
"How do you know I didn't dye my hair to be that color, Kawamoto-san?"

He looked at me surprised, then chuckled.

"Man you're funny."

He chuckled more and smiled. It wasn't a sarcastic statement or something he was saying to just be polite. Looking into his eyes, I couldn't help but smile as well, because he spoke those words with absolute sincerity.

"I guess I do treat the girls nicer. But I try to treat everyone with kindness. And those girls have their own stuff to do. Man, I'm really blessed to be their boyfriend!"

Trash and a genius, sitting side by side.

During the two months I conversed with Ryoji on the bus, I reverted back to being a normal person.

If anyone spoke to me, I would try my best to answer, and as I ate proper meals, I would try chatting with the person before me. During class, I would focus on taking notes, never forgetting my homework, and always submitting it on time.

I suppose my feelings towards Ryoji were jealousy, envy, and respect. That encounter with him left such a big impression on me.

But as I said, it just lasted for another two months.

"Those that get high scores on tests get cocky and annoying as a result, right?"

During lunchtime, I was in a corner of the classroom, and so happened to overhear a chat amongst girls. I was reading, and even though I was nearby, those girls didn't care about my presence.

"Class three in particular, I heard someone just handed over her test card to others."
"Wah, that's pretty high, isn't it?"

"Right right. Eleventh. She's bragging about it. How shameless."

"Eh? What's her name?"

"That Airi Hoshino has a screw loose in her head, don't you think?"

And the boring gossip started to veer off course.

"Want to bully her?"

Someone suggested this.

How easily and casually someone could say such a line gave me goosebumps.

So I instinctively got up from my desk. They widened their eyes, rooted to the spot, and I moved towards them. To be honest, I was terrified by their stares. Ever since I was young, I was always given such condescending looks.

Perhaps I wanted to get rid of my nickname as trash, and become a hero of justice like Ryoji.

"You girls are cruel,"

I gathered my courage.

"From jealousy you blabber about such things. What an eyesore."

They held down the hems of their skirts, their mouths flapping open and shut like goldfish, but with more stares gathered upon them, they could only scamper away from the classroom.

I thought I was fighting against evil.

("I was scared and nervous, but I did speak my thoughts… Maybe I might get everyone's approval.")

So I had such an optimistic thought.

I stood in place, took a deep breath, returned to my seat, and continued reading.

However, reality was not that pretty.

Days later, I could hear hushed whispers and felt disgusted glares from people around me. I thought it was just my imagination. Then, I heard someone come up behind me. I turned to look.

Kaito Arai gave me a look of pity.

"So…" he said, "A few people suggested not to associate with ██"

How kind of them. Kaito, feeling grieved for me, consoled me.

"You scolded a group of girls, right? That enraged them, and they went about spreading baseless rumors, like 'you peeped into the girls' toilet' or 'you molested them', etc."
"Just for that reason…?"
"Yes."
"Oh… That's stupid."
"Right. But, I can understand their feelings, of wanting to bully someone who gets high scores in tests…" Kaito added with sympathy, "I'm not talking with you again, ██. I don't want to get involved… Bye then."

Kaito hurriedly left the scene, so as to avoid having others realize that he chatted with me.

He showed me something. I see. No matter how hard I work, all I can appear to be is awkward, embarrassing, a clown. I thought I was majestically singing in a forest under the moonlight, but I'm just an abandoned Chihuahua wailing in the garbage.

I gave it my best, but others still found me repulsive.

Thus, I stopped. It's futile for someone like me to try. I should not attract attention, and become someone mediocre.

In my eyes, the others have lost their brilliance.

Eventually, Ryoji himself stopped the harassment of Hoshino-san, without facing any of the negative repercussions as I did.

Through this incident, I learned two things.

One, I can't be like Ryoji.

Two, it's better to be trash.

And so, I ended up not caring about others again.

I decided to continue living as trash.

Or at least, that was supposed to be the case.

CONTENT LOCKED. KEY REQUIRED: KEY OF RECONCILING HEARTS

First Impressions

Forta - Strongly Negative
"..... I am really concerned about miss Nana, I mean, miss Forta.
I heard about how she held back the whole group on the beach.
Recently she went off without paying in the cafe, only to pay the bills the day after.
As you know, it is not to my liking when people disappears without paying.
At the very least she could have told me something that might have displeased her, but she just left and it has been awkward ever since, with both of us looking away whenever our eyes met.
We could have talked about this..... No... We NEED to talk"

Kuuyari - Positive
"Ufufufu... miss Kuu is truly a kindred soul.
We both love to gossip and share information with each other. It seems that her network is very vast as she knows about the Gate and my past.
She is really petite and cute. I am always tempted to cuddle her, but those eyes of hers...
Eyes that can seemingly see through my heart... Eyes that silently told me not to, else she would divulge my past...
Oh well, I would do well not to get on her bad side. I look forward to our gossip session together"

Kagami - Negative
"Ah, Kagamin! The very sight of him makes my heart ache so...
At first he presented himself as the leader of the group, the person in charge to ensure everything is in order.
The more he speaks however, the more he sounds like a cute kid trying his best to act like an adult.
My small animals sense was tingling hard, so I lifted him up and cuddled him.
..... And he kicked me on my gonads.....
It seems that he hated me since then and we barely talked with each other.
Uguuu Kagaminnn... I want to ruffle your hair..."

Toru - Weakly Negative
"Mister Toru seemed like a very nice and friendly guy, but I was surprised when he suddenly displayed a rather brutish act.
Not once, but twice. In the cell and on the beach.
I wonder if he really leads a healthy lifestyle as he says.
It seems to me that he is prone to stress outbursts and needs plenty of rest and a balanced meal.
Would be nice if we can have a relaxing tea session together"

Banri - Positive
"Mister Banri is capable of making delicious dishes, especially chocolate desserts, which is our cafe's best seller.
There are customers who desperately want to know the recipe behind those mouthwatering treat. I think it is a secret between mister Banri and miss Kuni.
Tis a shame that he only wants to deal with the kitchen. I am pretty sure there is a market for a character like his in the front end, provided that we can cut those edge and polish him to be a more rounded character"

Rinne - Negative
"Oh no, Miss Rinne's behavior is really worrying.
She can be a bit headstrong and is not that flexible of a person, acting first and thinking later.
I was told that she punched miss Fuka because miss Fuka was apparently a "textbook villain" according to her.
I am afraid miss Rinne's heroic ideals might lead her to the wrong path instead and she might get taken advantage of, especially by charismatic figures"

Fuka - Weakly Negative
"Ara ara... Miss Fuka is such a cute and lively prankster.
Her antics never fail to amuse me and they always pop a chuckle or two in the room.
Sometimes she took it too far though, and her eccentricities might rub people in the wrong way.
Like the way she ripped apart miss Forta's prison ID on the beach, or so I was told.
There is a market for such personality in our cafe, but I am generally worried that customers might not find her to their liking"

Kuni - Weakly Positive
"Miss Kuni is such an angel. Her bright personality lightens up the mood for everyone.
She is a blessing in the kitchen with her diverse recipe and truly brings out the whole team spirit together.
To put it in perspective, she is like a glue that bonds us together.
I wonder if she is interested in the frontend service.
She has the makings of a magnificent maid and I am sure she would have a strong following herself"

Takashi - Positive
"Mister Takashi is quite the intelligent guy, I enjoy the conversations we have had before regarding history and current events.
He seems to be well read and knows a lot about various topic, a trait that makes every conversation enjoyable.
It is interesting to hear him talk about politics and his insights on strategy and political playmaking.
Certainly a good company to broaden one's horizons"

Kazuko - Strongly Positive
"It pleases me to see that there are people like miss Kazuko in Hisakawa.
Although seemingly cold and unapproachable, miss Kazuko strictly adheres to her principles, Bushido was it not, and that is certainly admirable.
She also expressed her interest in joining the Disciplinary Butai to maintain order.
It certainly is great for one to be willing to help shape up others, an orderly student body will ensure good morale.
Hmmm... A harsh traditional lady... I think there is a market for a character like hers, I wonder if she would like to join us in the cafe"

Hayato - Strongly Negative
"Ara ara... Mister Hayato's behavior has become more erratic this past month.
It is certainly admirable to help defend others and break up fights, but he does it at his own expense.
I was really surprised after seeing his body full of bruises, it would be impossible for him to keep up with this behavior for long.
At this rate, his body will crumble down and unable to operate properly in the near future.
Perhaps mister Hayato is the one that I am most concerned about. I wonder what can I do to help him....."

Laura - Positive
"Ah, the german princess, miss Laura!
We found a common ground in our love for small animals, and miss Laura is very knowledgeable in animal care.
I also admire her outlook on family as I share the same sentiment too, my "family" means everything to me.
Miss Laura possesses this enchanting beauty as a foreigner and she would be a major asset for our cafe.
Her accounting skills would also tremendously help our cafe's financial model and day to day operations.
I wonder what do I need to do to recruit her...? I guess I should try appealing to her monetary values"

Aster - Positive
"Mister Aster is rather meek and shy, but everyone can tell that he is a nice guy.
Except that he is very clumsy. His clumsiness costed the class quite a sum of money and everyone seems to hate him for that.
But well, that is cute on its own way. I believe a failure of such proportion would serve as a motor for him to improve himself.
In our line of business, a pretty faced, clumsy, meek guy is proven time to time again to be the most popular with ladies.
Perhaps I can ask him to be a butler. It would also do well to boost his confidence and ah, to compensate for my share of money of course"

Edeir - Negative
"Ara ara... Mister Edeir is quite the special one. He seems to think that the world revolves around him.
Sometimes he throws cute tantrums when things do not go his way.
I am worried that if he keeps this behavior, people would not find him to be cute anymore.
It frightens me to think of the horrifying things they would do to a someone like mister Edeir.
Oh, he also gives off this certain vibe that is..... umm... the same as mister Banri"

Murasame - Positive
"She might look like a guy, but miss Murasame has quite the feminine hobbies.
I was surprised when I saw her flower arrangement and hearing her high pitched squeal on jump scares, it was very cute of her.
Her calligraphy works are also top notch. I might be able to use some of them for the cafe myself.
Come to think of it, cool towering beauties might be off-putting to some, but they would attract a different demographic altogether.
I wonder now..... Miss Murasame might look good in a butler suit..."

Setsuko - Negative
"Miss Setsuko often brings up her past boyfriend in conversations. She would also talk about how she had it all once.
Her hobbies and behavior are also..... very much of a normal highschool girl her age.
I feel very sorry for her, it seems that she is still stuck in her past.
I am afraid that she might not be able to accept the harsh reality of Hisakawa, that our lives are not the same as it once was.
Maybe I should talk to her more, I am quite worried that she might shut down when things get really dark"

Akira - Positive
"Mister Akira might look rough but I can assure you that he is a really fun guy to be around
There was never a dull moment with him as we have always had amusing conversations. The public gave us weird and concerned looks however, in which I cannot comprehend.
It seems that his persona might be able to attract a certain type of ladies. It would be very beneficial if I can persuade him to spend some time working in the cafe..."

"What gives value to our life is our principles, our shining beacon of hope in dark times, the very essence that makes us human.
The ability of us humans to hold on to our principles is what differentiates us from mere mindless beasts.
That's why when you lose touch with your principles, there is nothing holding you back from becoming a complete monster.

..........

Ara ara, why so serious?
That was a joke, an icebreaking joke.

Fufufu... Let's see...

I say "Skill" and "Knowledge" gives value to your life.

I am not saying that people who are not into the pursuit of intelligence is worthless.
They must have some kind of skills and knowledge themselves.
The know-how to change oil for cars for example, or the knowledge on child rearing, or even showing some cleavage can be considered as a basic skill to charm people.
Even a baby knows how to attract attention and get what they want, and I consider it as the utmost basic skill a human can possess.

Now imagine you have no clue at all on how the world works and lack such skills...
Unless you are a mentally challenged guy, your life must be very boring and, well... pretty much lifeless.

Me? I know quite a lot!
For example, do you know that roses can grow on human ears?

Voila!

Found one from your lovely right ear!

This rose is for you, it matches your lovely eyes.
It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Ryuuichi, you can call me Ryuu.

"What is righteous is ultimately determined by who exactly is holding the cards."

Character Color: Violet-blue

Given Name: Takashi

Age: 18

Height: 183 cm

Date of Birth: 10/01

[spoili]

[/spoili]

Likes:

Politics - Whereas some tend to overlook the matters of the world around them, Takashi proves to be rather invested in it. Often reading up on current events and happenings in the world as well as commenting on them, he proves to be rather educated and interested in the subject. If he weren't in the situation he was, some may believe him to be a politician in the future.
Authority - Rarely will Takashi opt to sit in the back and allow himself to be led around like a sheep. Typically he enjoys being the one holding the cards, making the decisions and being relied on.
Justice - A rather relative concept, but one that Takashi values dearly. To him, justice is seeing that people get what they deserve. This means that should someone scratch and struggle, working themselves to their limits, should be rewarded. All the same, those that commit baseless murders for petty reasons aren't deserving of a "fair trial" or a comfy prison life. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Sweets - A holder of a sweet tooth, Takashi very much enjoys the sweetness of some foods while avoiding the bitterness others hold.

Dislikes:

Belligerent Violence - While Takashi very much abides by an "eye for an eye" principle, he rather detests the use of outright violence for trivial or petty reasons. Not to say he is a pacifist, but he much prefers the ideal of "soft power", relying on physical force when his intellect alone isn't enough.
Being Read Like a Book - As someone who puts much pressure on his analytical mind, Takashi absolutely detests being "figured out". Being outwitted, looked through or even manipulated is more than just a loss to him; it is a grave insult.
Taking Orders - Since he tends to look at himself as more of a leader, it's only natural that Takashi would prefer not to be strung along. Suggestions are one thing, as are inquiries. However, he isn't some to be pushed forward in a chess match.
Those with lack of foresight - For whatever reason, Takashi seems to detest those without the ability to think ahead. Now, he doesn't expect everyone to have the next years of their life laid out in schedule, however he has been plenty amazed at the idiocracy of some and the graves they dig themselves due to lack of forethought.

Hobbies:

Puzzles - Takashi can be thought of as a strategic thinker. He enjoys the challenge puzzles and brain teasers bring him. Even more so, he enjoys the feeling of achievement when he inevitably overcomes them. Often times he'll be seen amusing himself with a rubix cube or something of a similar testing nature.
Games - Akin to why he partakes in puzzles, Takashi targets video games to partake in an authoritarian fantasy. He enjoys playing the part of the general or ruler, leading, organizing and strategizing. Many look to games for a form of escapism. To Takashi, these games provide him the pleasure of conquest and victory.
Politics - As something he enjoys researching, Takashi is as well one of the few that can enter into a discussion on the matter without exploding due to differing ideas. He is unlikely to be persuaded to a different mindset, however he doesn't mind hearing one out.
Baking - Growing up without as much cash as others or without people to take care of him, Takashi picked up the art of cooking early on as a way of saving money. Particularly he enjoys baking sweets and other treats that he enjoys so much.

Fears:

Failure - To Takashi, failure is something that isn't an option, regardless of what he sets out for. Setbacks are one thing. Hindrances are another. However outright and definitive loss is something he doesn't account for and will not tolerate.
Skeletons out of the Closet - Secrets are things that seem to be natural and common among all people, and while Takashi doesn't mind possessing further information regarding others around him, his own coming to light is something he fears.
Clowns - Somewhat of an irrational fear, especially for someone as logically-thinking as Takashi. He can't put it into words, but those who enter into this profession he can't help but be anxious around. Anyone who smiles that much has to be hiding something...

Self Introduction: "An interesting question… Realistically, a person's value is determined by how much power they possess. There are many definitions of power. Physical strength or force or wealth, among others, however the form that is most significant is the ability to force others to accept your ideals. Recognition in the world is everything. If you aren't even recognized, you may claim sovereignty and righteousness as much as you wish, but it won't matter as one who is recognized and strong will easily sweep you away.

There have been many cases of these happenings throughout history, from as far back as ancient Greece and even in the current day. Right and wrong are subjective concepts determined by who holds more power rather than a general consensus. The ancient Melians sought to barter with the Athenians when they arrived to siege their territory, though the Athenians stated the facts rather blatantly. They were stronger, better supplied and more numerous, so the principles of the Melians mattered little. Either way, their territory would be conquered, the only decision they possessed was of how much they wished to limit the damages and bloodshed.

The world is set in a hierarchy. The current situation serves as a rather suitable example, does it not? Some here perhaps feel genuine guilt, others may agree that this is what they deserve. I am positive, however, that there are also those here who disagree with their treatment. If only we held more power, we might have been able to avoid this little sentence. However, considering we are of no major importance to the state itself, our opinions in the grand scheme of things matter very little…"

Luck Grade: C

First Impressions:
[spoili]

Forta - Positive

A hero-type, hm? Seems strong for her stature and I cannot say I agree completely with her ideology, but she appears earnest enough; someone who seeks to earn rather than wait and be gifted. Plus, her hero-complex makes her rather predictable. Assuming she isn't plotting something long-term with this vigilantism of hers, she could be a useful ally. Either way, better avoid directly pissing her off.

Kuuyari - Weakly Positive

I do not know quite what to make of her... At the least she hasn't wronged me and appears to carry herself with some level of intellect and rationality, but something about her is off. I haven't experienced it personally but there are rumors of her fortune-telling and curses, which apparently come true. Could be nothing, but I better keep on her good side. I don't need anything worsening my luck.

Kagami - Weakly Negative

I must respect their ambitious nature and quick-witted understanding of the current situation. In many ways, I see us as kindred spirits per say. Unfortunately in this case, we both have the same goals and they conflict. There cannot be two kings to a kingdom after all, so unfortunately, she... he... they are a rival.

Toru - Weaky Negative

Brighter than he lets on, stronger too, but overall still a fool. He expects everyone to get along without any kind of discourse, physical or vocal, which is simply unrealistic. In this sort of situation, a hierarchy must be established, and while I agree that we shouldn't immediately sink into barbaric physical violence for trivialities, his naivete is rather aggravating. Besides, there was that one moment on the boat; he's hiding something.

Banri - Strongly Positive

A peculiar occurrence and certainly not one that was predicted or pushed for on my own part. Aside from his eagerness to take part in baseless violence and mediocre intuition, he seems to understand at the least that if you make yourself out to be prey and show weakness, you will be treated as such, which is more than what I can say about some. Other than that, we share an interest in games and puzzles. He appears to take joy in my over-exaggerations when we compete.

Rinne - Strongly Negative

A test on my conscious. The girl is so naive and transparent that it's almost unnerving. Plus her childish ideals of heroism, disregard of rules, flawed view of right and wrong.... Overall, she's one of the daftest of my peers. Then there's that voice. If she shatters my glasses...

Fuka - Weakly Positive

A simple, fun-loving girl. Optimistic and not the smartest, but at least it doesn't dip down into naivete and she doesn't tend to act like what she isn't like some. Likely someone I can befriend over games or something, though I wouldn't hold my breath if I start talking something like politics...

Kuni - Strongly Negative

For someone so informed, she's quite the idiot. One of those fools who will continue on a path that falls off the side of a cliff even if they know it just because of their "heart". Almost completely lacking in rationality, I simply don't see us seeing eye to eye, nor do I wish to. Fool needs to stop jumping into other people's problems for no reason...

Kazuko - Weakly Positive

At the least, not an idiot. Seems too focused on "honor", like a samurai of some kind. She does appear to have more tact than most else though and sees things for what they are. In that way, we are the same. It's what she's capable of, however, that I must take care with. Those eyes speak stories.

Hayato - Positive

The so-called masochist... He claims it isn't like that, but too bad for him the name's already stuck. Either way, I can appreciate someone who values the art of conversation over unproductive conflict. I don't know what to make of his martyr complex though. Who knows, maybe he predicted people would take it in that way and be creeped out enough to forgo any fighting. Either way, he's someone to talk to when the other idiots are beating their heads into the wall.

Laura - Weakly Positive

From what I've seen, we share opinions on some things, though we have not spoken all that much. She appears heavily invested in money, but that's understandable. Could be someone worth befriending. At the least, I can respect her work ethic.

Ryuu - Positive

Someone who carries themselves with some professionalism. He is another person I find some enjoyment speaking to. While not directly interested in politics itself, history is something that incorporates and as such is something we find common ground in discussing, as well as gossip. I'll take whatever edge I can get here and information can be a great weapon when used properly.

Aster - Weakly Negative

Alas, poor Aster, the lost little lamb that requires nurturing and protection. I recall explicitly warning him of how things would go if he continues as he is, but he just can't harness up any manner of courage and lacks the foresight to keep himself out of situations he knows he doesn't have the bite to back up his bark. He isn't a threat to me, but then again I feel if I keep myself around him, any social issue that arises I will likely have to be the one to resolve it.

Yoshie - Strongly Positive
Edeir - Negative

Hm? Ah, yes... the child. I haven't forgotten his little antics on the ferry nor his attempts on the boat. That could've caused problems if he wasn't so ineffective in his power trips. The only reason I do not think lower of him is as he isn't a threat in his current state. He lacks the foresight to be. As such, I'm not going to go out of my way to deal with him... at least not yet.

Murasame - Weakly Positive

I haven't had much interaction with the girl, though I do know she is a she. Appears reserved, perhaps shy. Either way, she seems like a relaxing person to be around in comparison to the current company. Getting to know her could be beneficial. You can't have too many friends in this place.

Setsuko - Strongly Positive

I can always appreciate a realist, especially one here. Setsuko-san seems to hold a realistic view regarding money and how the world works, not to mention she shares my view on the "heroism" going on around here. A sweet girl, but not to the point of stupidity. It makes me wonder exactly what she did to land herself in here though.

Height: 167 cm
Date of Birth: 6th of February[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Starting Character Grades, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Physical Grade: B
Intuition Grade: A
Luck: B[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Likes, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Events
It doesn't matter if it's a school festival or just karaoke with friends, Setsuko loves breaking away from daily routines to do something different. The more expensive the event, the better, according to Setsuko, which brings us to her next like...

Money
Money makes the world go around.
Some people would call Setsuko a slave to money, but truth is that she just has an immense respect for it and its value in society. With money, one can do everything without worrying about anything.
Setsuko also likes things of monetary value; the more expensive, the better.

Scary movies
Could there be anything cozier than enjoying a scary movie together with your boyfriend? Setsuko doesn't think so. Watching a scary movie makes Setsuko almost able to feel her boyfriend's arm around her. Although it is a mere fantasy at this point, since they are no longer a thing.

Cooking
It is fun to cook, and it's even better when you are good at it. Luckily for Setsuko, she is. While she may not be a master chef, she has spent the last few years making lunch boxes for not only herself but her boyfriend too, all of them decorated.

Cute things
Cute things are another of Setsuko's weaknesses, and her phone has a different cute mascot keychain almost every day.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Dislikes, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Supervision
Setsuko hates the feeling of being watched. It makes her feel trapped and like she has done something wrong, even when she totally hasn't. She has absolutely no problem supervising others, though…

People that think they are better than her
This is rather self-explanatory.

Goody-two-shoes
Setsuko absolutely despises people that act like they have never done anything wrong. They are disgusting and fake and needs to be taught a lesson!

Cigarettes
Speaking of disgusting, have you ever smelled a cigarette? Like really smelled it? They stink, and you stink if you smoke them. The stench contaminates you.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Hobbies, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Cooking
Setsuko finds calm in cooking, especially as it is something she has done since a relatively early age. She only has one specialty, though: lunch boxes.

Shopping
What girl doesn't like shopping? Setsuko has taken this a step further, and made it into her hobby. There are so many cute things in the world and if she could, Setsuko would buy them all.

Photography
Mainly selfies and group photos. Setsuko's phone is full of them and it serves almost like a diary.

Track and Field
Once upon a time, Setsuko was a member of the track and field club, but as it became more and more time consuming, she quit. She still likes to jog in her spare time, though.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Fears, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Birds
However illogical it may seem, Setsuko really doesn't like birds. The nasty things carries god knows what diseases and their sharp beaks and claws are not to be underestimated. Those things will attack you. Setsuko just knows it.

Dying young
Wouldn't it be an absolute shame if Setsuko died before living her life to the fullest? Setsuko thinks so at least, and some days she is almost certain she is going to die young.

Confined spaces
Perhaps related to her dislike of being watched, Setsuko dislikes confined spaces. They make her have a hard time breathing. They are also panic inducing if she gets stuck in them for a prolonged time.[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="Self-introduction, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Do you have money? Own a lot of things?
I did, once.

The thing that gives a person its value is exactly that. Value. Money.
Once, I was a valuable person. I had a boyfriend that would buy me anything I wanted. Friends to go shopping with. I always wore the latest trends.

What changed, you ask? Well, you're about to find out…[/fieldbox]
[fieldbox="First Impressions, #2F4F4F, solid, 10"]Positive Impressions:
Laura - Weakly Positive
"I met her on one of my early jogs once. Although I first had a problem with pronouncing her name correctly, Lola-san is also in the wrong for mentioning it. She is one of the people here that understands the value of money too, which is nice!"

Forta - Weakly Positive
"It's nice to have someone that will listen to you. I just wish she would stop clicking with her pen when I'm talking..."

Banri - Weakly Positive
"We both agree that birds are devious creatures, that makes us comrades. Also, something about him reminds me of my previous boyfriend. It's such a shame that he smokes, though. I just can't stand those poison sticks..."

Kuni - Weakly Positive
"We discussed which mascot was the cutest once. Obviously, we didn't agree because how could anyone possibly think that Sarasa-chan is cuter than Domo-kun? It's nice to know we won't have to fight over the same limited editions, though."

Toru - Positive
"None of us like narrow spaces, so naturally we both try to avoid spending time in our 'rooms'. A little scary at times, but it is good to have someone to go for a jog with now and then!"

Hayato - Positive
"His fixation on sacrificing himself to end an argument is a little scary at times, but as he would make a good meat shield if I'd ever need one, I try to stay on his positive side."

Rinne - Strongly Positive
"Rinne is a good cook, and I love talking about cooking with her. However, if she keeps eating all those sweets, she'll end up super out-of-shape and even more unable to punish evil than she already is. I admire her honesty, though. It makes her a good friend."

Takashi - Strongly Positive
"I don't always get what Takashi is talking about, but I like having him around. He's good at puzzles, too, so there was this one time when he helped me fit everything into this really small lunch box. That was very nice of him!"

Kazuko - Strongly Positive
"Kazuko was a little scary at first, what with her strange way of speaking and straight-forward attitude, but I think she is just struggling to open up to people. I think it's cute!"

Kuuyari - Strongly Positive
"Kuu-chan is a true entrepreneur, and she knows better than to give out things for free. I admire her for that."

Negative Impressions
Murasame - Weakly Negative
"I haven't spoken with him yet. I don't associate with cross-dressers."

Kagami - Weakly Negative
"I don't like that he thinks he can boss me around. I like it even less that he usually is right."

Fuka - Negative
"I don't understand how she can be so cheerful all the time. It makes me wonder when she is going to turn on me. Also, what's the deal with the Magical Girl outfit? It makes her look stupid."

Ryuu - Negative
"Umu... Ryuu-kun is very... extravagant. Like, it hurts my eyes sometimes. Also, he always hits on women instead of being faithful to one. Such an unreliable guy."

Aster - Strongly Negative
"This moron decided to spend my money - my money! - on a goddamn swimsuit magazine. If he doesn't pay me back with interest, I'm going to kill him!"

Edeir - Strongly Negative
"Who does this guy think he is to tell me what to do? Telling me to stop talking about my boyfriend... I bet he just hates that I am praising someone else than him. What an unpleasant guy. I'll make sure to talk even more about my boyfriend when he's around!"

"Oi, relax would ya'? I ain't gonna bite… much."

Character Color: Red

Given Name: Akira

Age: 18

Height: 182 cm

Date of Birth: August 11th

[spoili]

[/spoili]

[spoili]

[/spoili]

Likes:

Guts: Not in the literal sense, but while somewhat full of himself Akira can appreciate guts demonstrated by others, strong or not, standing fast for what they believe in. Even if its standing against him, he can respect someone with the will to stand apart from the crowd.

The Ladies: Some people shyly go about their lives not really worrying about the opposite sex. Akira however is too impatient to let love happen when it happens. Often he'll spend a good amount of his time admiring his feminine colleagues or even appealing to them. The results of his pursuits may differ.

Booze: Having adopted a taste for alcohol at a young age, Akira can lay back and relax with a can of beer, though he prefers to share his drink with company. While not addicted and thus not subject to withdrawal, he will often grumble about not having anything when his mood sours.

Talking Shit: One of those who seems to be a professional at poking the bear, though not always holding the intent of actually insulting someone. I mean, if someone comes around pissing him off, sure. In the presence of friends or acquaintances though, typically it's just his sense of humor. Unfortunately, it's one that only those with thick skin can appreciate.

Dislikes:

Cowards: Akira never cared for those who would bail and run when the going got tough. People like that couldn't be relied on or trusted. Hell, half the time they would just go along with whatever you said to avoid conflict. However, it is in this that he holds some sexism. It's not that he doesn't think women are capable of being steadfast, and in fact prefers that in a woman, he just doesn't expect them to or hold them to the same standard as he does men.

Nags: "I get it, I get it! For fucks sake, get off my back!"

Solitude: Typically, Akira is a social soul. He finds entertainment from interacting with others, even if the interaction is negative. It's better than sitting on your own. Boring as hell.

Cars: "Screw off! I just don't…"

Hobbies:

Exercise: Akira enjoys exercising and keeping himself in fit shape. It helps him deal with stress and keep his mind off current events. There's also no telling if anyone will need to get knocked in the head a couple of times in the near future.

Nicknaming: One of those people who slaps an alias to everyone he likes or despises. The name can be drawn anywhere from an obvious physical characteristic to someone doing something stupid and paying for it. Usually, it's used as a thing of endearment for his friends, unless its dealing with an enemy in which case you can expect him to throw it in their face every time they see each other.

Conversing: A simple, common action but one that Akira depends on. When left to his own devices with nothing to do, he quickly becomes bored, depressed or frustrated. As such, he actively seeks out interaction with others, even those he may not necessarily like.

Soccer: A past time enjoyed by Akira since he was young. Playing it with friends to pass the time and keep in shape or just yelling at the wusses on television who start crying when they trip and fall.

Fears:

Traps: Not the Indiana Jones type. More of—he went to a mixer, tried to hook up with a girl and found out she wasn't exactly what he expected...

Loss: One thing Akira fears is simple loss. As someone who started with little, losing the people he has managed to gain the companionship of is a crippling fear of his.

Growing Old: The idea of growing old, senile and weak isn't a prospect Akira finds appealing. While some may find the idea of a peaceful end comforting, living long enough just to die a boring, lonesome death isn't something he particularly cares for.

Self Introduction: "Really? We're doing this? No name or what I like, you're just gonna ask me about my philosophy? ...Alright, a little weird, but okay…"

"Well, I'd say people give people value. Society even, if you want to get all political. People label you, and that label usually sticks. Depending on what that label is, you might go up the food chain, stay where your at or even sink lower. Half the time it doesn't even need to be proven for the label to change your value either."

"Examples? Sexual Assault, harassment or whatever else. Someone stands up and even accuses a person of that, it sticks. No court date or conviction needed. No proof. Everyone goes apeshit. Whether you did it or not doesn't really matter, it adopts a guilty until proven innocent methodology, and you can bet even if they are, that label is still stuck on them. People can help you up just as much as kick you down. They can be something that gives your life more value, just as much as take that something away. Either way, people change people. Not money or power. People."

First Impressions:
[spoili]

Forta - Positive

The girl's got some crazy ass strength! She always acts reserved, then goes all Batman when someone starts acting like an ass. I used to be kinda worried that her good nature would screw her over, but not anymore. Cute and badass is just my type.

Kuuyari - Weakly Positive

Ah, right... the fortune teller girl. She's cute but she kinda gives me the vibe like she's plotting something... Besides with all the voodoo crap... Oh well. Long as she doesn't "curse" me like the rumors I can deal with her pranks. Heh... Curse... Fuckin' idiots.

Kagami - Weakly Negative

...Are you...? You know what, no. I'm not going through this shit again.

Toru - Weakly Negative

Ah... that guy... Seems like too much of a goodie goodie. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather everyone could get along like normal without takin' shots at each other, but it's just stupid to think that's how it'll be. If someone starts actin' like an asshat, I'm not just going to go along with it or tell everyone to hug it out.

Banri - Strongly Positive

Ha! The guy's an ass! Then again I can always appreciate someone else who can talk shit. Always wants to play video games though. Been trying to get him to work out. The games are fun and all but you can't just sit around. Need to be able to back up your bark.

Rinne - Strongly Negative

Another "hero of justice". Fucking hell... Wants to go out and fight evil with a fucking Batista Bomb. Does the broad even know that that shit's fake? Honesty and "evil"... right... and don't get me fucking started on that voice!

Fuka - Weakly Positive

Oh.... the crazy girl... She's cute... for a sociopath. Look, I don't really have anything bad to say about her. She looks nice and fun, but then she goes and says this random shit that doesn't make sense. Like, what the fuck is a squiddo?

Kuni - Strongly Negative

Damn girl keeps butting in... Always has to go defending some pansy that can't shit talk. It ain't my fault. If they can't talk back, they shouldn't start shit! Quit getting in my way when I'm trying to roast someone! Damn killjoy... What? No, I don't think we have a bunch of shit in common! Screw off!

Kazuko - Weakly Positive

Creepy girl. Has these damn eyes like she'll kill you in your sleep no problem. Still... she's tough and does what she thinks is necessary. Can't fault her for that. Might make an effort, but the fact she's flat as a board isn't very motivating, neither do I really care to sleep with one eye open if I piss her off.

Hayato - Positive

Dude's a weirdo, but a fun weirdo. He keeps saying he ain't a masochist, but when he keeps giving people reasons... I just laugh. Kinda worry about him if I'm honest. He expects everyone to just get along and that's not gonna happen. If shit hits the fan he's going to offer himself as a sacrifice, but that won't work how he thinks and I don't have the patience to watch it happen.

Laura - Weakly Positive

She gets on my ass sometimes about the rules, but she's cute and we share some interests. Girl needs to speak more, it's like talking to a wall sometimes. I don't understand how some people can just sit in silence...

Ryuu - Positive

Dude's a fucking gossip and complete pretty-boy, but he's fun to be around. I give him shit sometimes, but he looks like he takes it as a joke and gives me shit-talking material too. Apparently he can actually fight. Well, haven't seen him fight, but he's practicing something on those dummies. He plays the modest card but usually that means they're more capable than someone who boasts.

Yukari - Weakly Negative

Fuckin' cripple scam artist. Honestly, if she wasn't fun to shit talk with and cute, I'd probably be more pissed. Ryuu... good luck buddy...

Edeir - Negative

Ah... the prissy prince charming... From what I've seen he either tries to shit talk or jump on whatever bandwagon he can get on. Not only that but his skin's about as thick as oxygen. Don't start mouthing off if you can't handle some back talk, that's all I'm saying!

Murasame - Weakly Positive

I kinda feel like an ass... Had to go up and up front ask her... I apologized, but I'd do it again if another one appears. I'm not dealing with all these fucking traps...

Setsuko - Strongly Positive

Cute girl and fun to hang around. Acts like a girly girl sometimes with her shopping obsession and cutesy things. Good cook too apparently, which is surprising from a supposed rich girl, or former rich girl. Honestly, I just wish she'd stop talking about her boyfriend around me so much. I mean, I am a guy, you know?

Likes Dislikes Hobbies Fears

The Occult – Vampires, goblins, ghosts, and witches; she believes in all of them and will hunt any lead she has on supernatural activity. Sure most rumours and stories may lead to nothing but that's part of the fun to her. Occasionally she'll also accuse her peers for being supernatural beings but not in the bad way; on the contrary she'd stalk and pester them until she can interview them and learn their secrets.
Tea – The herbal scent and earthy flavour are soothing to the mind and soul, especially when had in it's rawest form, egro no sugar, milk, and heavens forbid bagged tea. Sometimes she tries to tea read when she's finished a cup but it can prove to be difficult when you're trying to feel the wet leaves instead of looking at them like a normal person would.
Dancing – She doesn't dance in the traditional sense but rather sways and twirls around, singing sounds rather than words and humming her own nonsensical melody that no one seems to understand but her.
Rebels – Though Yukari would consider herself proper and refined at best she often catches herself wish she could do bad things like steal from a store or vandalizing public property. She'll tell herself she's crazy to want to do these things so instead she hopes some wild daredevil riding a motorcycle would crash in her living room and sweep her off her feet.
Being Talked Down To – People that treat her like she's incapable of of taking care of herself or that she's stupid grind her hears to no end. Even if she does need assistance she'd keep refusing it due to a mixture of pride and plain stubbornness. She's not a fragile doll that needs to be doted on.
Skeptics – They might think she's a loon for believing in the 'make believe' but their beyond insufferable for not seeing the truth in front of them! Magic is out there if you just open your mind to it but those idiots are too close minded to look beyond their noses.
Perverts – Just because she's blind doesn't mean she can't feel someone's eyes staring at her rack or the odd brazen soul that tries to look up her skirt. Often times she can be mistaken in her accusations but it doesn't mean she'll admit it whenever she dispenses punishment on the pig.
Boys – She is straight but they can be so frustrating sometimes with their roughhousing and macho behaviour. They should settle down for a spell and try smelling the flowers, but knowing them they would for five seconds and then start pelting each other with petals. How annoying yet, not annoying at the same time...
Spirit Summoning – Yukari loves to spend her evenings in a dark room lit only by candles in front of a ouija board trying to contact the spirit realm. She's sworn she's been contacted before and that it's not a hoax like skeptics would say.
Reading – When she's not trying to raise the dead or whatever people would accuse her of she likes to read books about the time that's come to pass. Her favourite type of reading is the Victorian era which may or may not be where she got her fashion sense from…
Candle Making – The feeling of warm wax dripping down your skin as you hang them up to dry is the nicest feeling in the world to her. Though she may not be able to enjoy the light they emit the scent and proud feeling of having made something herself is more than enough for her to safely call it a hobby.
Sewing – When you have very particular tastes and they happen to be quite pricey it pays to learn how to make your own wardrobe. Her brother would help her figure out colours while she would choose fabric based on the feel. No one has snickered over her dresses so far when she wears them so they must look presentable enough.
Silence – With her world being limited as it is to simply be someplace with complete and utter silence drives her insane. Is there anyone around her or are they playing a poor excuse of a joke on her? If it's ever too quiet she'll start humming to at least generate some sound to comfort her.
Forgetting – Constantly she thinks she's forgotten something whether it be not making her bed or brushing her teeth for the day. Once the thought has planted itself in her mind she'll worry about to no end until she can check to be sure. Call her paranoid if you will.
Getting Dirty – There's never a way to know for sure if there's a mess on her clothes or whatever else might be unsightly. Unless a kind soul tells her she'll be oblivious to such a thing for who knows how long. The thought of such a thing occurring bothers her to no end.

Self-Introduction:
[dash]

Belief. I think belief gives a person their value. If you wish for something enough you can achieve anything, no matter what the odds are. If you're pushed down just get up and keep trying. The moment you give up or waiver is the moment you lose it all. Remain steadfast and others will admire your dedication and join you. Isn't that how it works in literature? Of course they're just stories and the writer will take liberties to craft it how they wish but their must be some truth to it if everyone likes to believe that.

Reality though can be harsher than that when you start looking into the finer, unsavoury details of life like corporations that'll throw into into cogs to keep going with little regard for your personal feelings or criminals who will do whatever it take to get their way one way or another, but a simple solution to that would be to curse anyone who gets in the way of your belief and send a demon or two on them! I'm joking of course! You'd run out of demons rather quickly if you kept that up for too long.

Starting Character Grades
Physical Grade: A
Intuition Grade: B
Luck Grade: C

Kazuko – Strongly Positive
Strangely enough, I think she's adorable! I can feel the uneasiness in her aura whenever I'm near so I take she must be afraid of the unknown and, forgive me, but I can't help but want to frighten her a bit. Of course being a proper lady I'll resist such childish and immature urges since she's done nothing to deserve such a horrid trick but for such a strong girl you wouldn't think such a thing would bother her! I do rather like her as she's very level headed so instead I shall help her understand the supernatural and come to and perhaps to even respect it.

Kuni – Positive
She's such a sweet girl, always looking out for others and being such a ray of sunshine in a perpetual cloudy afternoon. For whatever reason it seems I'm unable to get along with many girls so her company is greatly appreciated to boys any day.

Ryuu – Positive
He seems so rough around the edges and dangerous and he's quite the gentleman! I would love to get to know Mr.Ryuu a bit more as I think we could have so much in common if we could meet over tea and I could just slip in this love potion I've been saving for a special occasion like this… Rats, it smells expired, but love has no expiration date...right?

Banri – Weakly Positive
You can't hide your secrets from me, I know what you are! You smoke to fight off the cravings, the chocolate you eat has the most peculiar smell, and your body is much colder than the others; not that I touched you, but your aura is so chilly and bitter! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're a vampire! I can keep your secret as long as you agree to have an interview with me- wait why are you going outside?! You have so much to live for, you don't to need to perish in such a violent fashion!

Kuuyari – Weakly Negative
I believe she's a genuine fortune teller, but someone that sells their talents in exchange for goods and services is despicable! We have the gift to see the future so that we may use the knowledge to better the lives of the people around us, not as a parlor trick! I hope no one goes to this... con artist for spiritual advice.

Laura – Weakly Negative
I have very mixed opinions about her. I believe she's a witch due to her country of origin and the blood red colour of her aura, which I'm very excited about, but if she is a witch then it means I have a rival magic user to deal with! If I am magical that is... oh how I want to hate her but I can't despise a supernatural no matter how much they might pose a threat to me! Give me a reason to hate you more!

Rinne – Weakly Negative
Her aura is blue and she has a faint scent of an ocean breeze, no doubt she's a mermaid in disguise! Why does she strive to protect us land walkers so much I'll never know but her habitual vigilantism reminds me of someone more despicable... At last she seems to know what she's doing. Is she a princess of Atlantis that wishes to learn more about the surface world so sh ventured outside of ocean in the pursuit of knowledge? Oh! Maybe she's a criminal that was exiled to land until she can redeem herself, leading her to a path of crime fighting! I do wish to know more about her.

Akira – Weakly Negative
He's not exactly what I had in mind, but he proved to quite the interesting catch! A faerie here of all places... I'm glad I skipped out on the bill so we'd have to see each other in the future! He has friends I've wanted to know more about too so my relationship with him is very beneficial.

Fuka – Weakly Negative
She's a strange girl. Something about her feels off but I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't believe she's occult or an alien but something is just wrong. Maybe I just have an upset stomach from that disgusting cafe' tea… I'm still onto her!

Forta – Negative
Another hero type but she seems to be quite extreme unlike the others, though I have yet to determine if she's as capable. Maybe she's trying to put on a front by being so aggressive in her pursuit for justice? Her aura certainly says so… Oh I think she'll be quite the interesting girl to have around as long as she keeps her urges to kill checked.

Nanashi – Negative
He seems very mysterious but his aura tells me he's someone to be wary of. Of course if he tries anything with me I'll whack him till he's red, white, and blue but I think his...skills lie beyond just physical prowess.

Hayato – Negative
Ugh, just a normal human but a nosy human at that. The only thing special about him is how long his nose will grow so it can poke its way into someone's business! No one asked for your sorry excuse of 'help' much less for you to mediate over others problems. If you get in my way prepare for a beating most painful!

Toru – Negative
He doesn't really strike me this way or that really, he's just… normal? Sure he's walking around cocky picking fights with Vampires and Mermaids but that's just ignorant on his part, no real harm done there. He sure does talk quite a bit though, which can be a bit annoying but other than that I don't really have much to say about him.

Edeir – Negative
He's a pompous arrogant twat that needs to be put in his place! He is at least a little smarter than the average person but it's nothing to get so haughty about, especially when being smart doesn't make you a better person by any means. Perhaps he'll surprise me and display a redeemable quality or prove to be more interesting than I anticipated but I'm not placing any wagers on that.

Murasume – Strongly Negative
Another despiseable person has come out the woodwork and managed to irk me so but she's managed to reach the top of my list. I was never one to get annoyed by people who know less than I, but she's is extremely peeving because she's not very smart yet she tries to act as if she knows more than you! If you don't know something don't pretend you do, you're just making an ass out of yourself!

Setsuko – Strongly Negative
I've deduced there's only one reason you could be so obsessed and... entitled. A boyfriend that showered you with gifts and money? A flock of friends that were at your every whim? I won't believe your anything but a succubus! You can't fool me, she-demon! I've dealt with your kind once and they bested me but mark my words, before I leave this prison you will be dealt with!
