Character information

Name Ema Skye
Fandom Ace Attorney
Age 25
Gender female
Appearance Ema has long brown hair that's usually half-pulled up in order to keep it out of her face, fair skin, and large brown eyes. She's about average height, and perhaps a tad thinner than most. Rarely, if ever, is she seen without a white lab coat on over her clothes, which are generally nice and fashionable but not especially ornate. Rose-tinted glasses are permanently perched on her head, although not because of any sort of idealistic world view; their sole function is to make her look scientific, the tint a requirement for the proper use of luminol. Since she can't be a scientist (more on that in a minute), she'd might as well at least dress the part.

Personality When someone first encounters Ema, he or she is likely to write her off as a grumpy, moody twenty-something who takes out her frustrations on other people. In some ways, that person would be absolutely right. Ema finds it easier to sulk, glower, snap, and hurl tiny snack projectiles than to try and adequately express emotions such as anger, insecurity, and hurt. The less close Ema feels to a person, the more likely that person will become subject to the grumpy aspects of her personality—in the end, it’s little more than a defense mechanism, designed to force people to keep their distance until she’s really ready to let them in.

Beyond the grumpiness, Ema is actually capable of warmth and friendly behavior. If she feels comfortable enough, she does know how to let go and actually enjoy herself. Generally, she’s more open around her friends, although alcohol is a good way to get her to loosen up in most other circumstances.

However, the most prominent aspect of Ema’s personality is science. Science is the love of Ema’s life—just the very mention of it brings a light to her eyes. It’s a love she’s willing to share with pretty much everyone, regardless of whether anyone is actually interested.

Background Ema lost both of her parents as a little girl. To what, she hasn't the foggiest idea; they just never came home one night. If she had to be perfectly honest with herself, she's pretty sure she doesn't want to know.

With her parents out of the picture, Ema grew up with her sister Lana--13 years her senior--under the protection of extended family. They managed to maintain middle-class status, owing largely to Lana's willingness to work as a GenCop for extra cash when Ema was still too small to contribute.

When Ema was fourteen, she became the target of a serial murderer's wrath. She wasn't specifically targeted per se; she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The intervention of one of her sister's friends, Neil Marshall, spared her life, a move that cost him his. Ema fainted, being fourteen and more than a little panicked by the whole ordeal, and Lana came to find a scene that suggested that her sister was responsible for Neil's death. Lana cleaned the scene up to throw the trail off her sister, and later on the man who had initially targeted Ema was found dead.

Unsurprisingly, the relationship between the two sisters became very strained. Things might have been ruined indefinitely if it weren't for the death of another man connected to the serial killings two years after the fact. Through the intervention of a certain Phoenix Wright, the truth of Neil Marshall's death came to light, exonerating Ema from any blame. Lana was able to forgive Ema (and herself), and the sisters have been close ever since.

As adults, Ema and Lana reside in the apartment complexes, although they currently live separately due to Ema's need for independence. The two still talk often, however. With the help of roommates to pick up part of the rental bill, Ema gets by comfortably enough.

Being of scientific mind, it's only natural that Ema works for Gene Co. Unfortunately for her interests, she's employed as a GenCop; she failed the proficiency examination at the end of her medical training. She blames an accidental misdosing of Zydrate (legally prescribed post-surgery, thankyouverymuch), but it's more likely that she's simply not the scientific genius she'd like to believe she is. As much as she resents the position, though, being a GenCop isn't a terrible lifestyle.

At least she can still be involved in the scientific process to a certain degree. While most experimental subjects within Gene Co. are selected (or so I would imagine), Ema volunteered. Being the experimentee was better than being left out of the process altogether... right?

Genetics & alterations Aside from the tucks and adjustments common for a woman her age, Ema's only had one major surgery. After having her thyroid tweaked in an experimental surgery designed to help boost metabolism and therefore discourage weight gain (which, once Gene Co. gets the kinks worked out, should prove to be very popular indeed in a society obsessed with image), she's developed a sort of hyperthyroidism. Since her condition is pretty much the opposite of organ failure and therefore not Gene Co.'s focus, she's simply been given prescriptions to help keep her symptoms under control and left to fend for herself. As her metabolism is out-of-whack, she's usually seen munching on some sort of sugary snack. Obviously, she doesn't talk about the surgery and will just hurl one of the snacks at you in annoyance if you bring the snacking habit up.

So far, she's been lucky enough not to have any organs fail on her.

Character information

Name Zenjirou Kasai
Fandom Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Age Mid-40's
Gender Male

Appearance Kasai is fairly tall, lanky, and surprisingly fit for his age. He’s not the kind of guy who really stands out, with pale skin, short black hair, and dark eyes that are somewhat lined with age and shadowed with a lack of sleep. The tips of his fingers are just slightly burnt from the fire he produces due to the surgeries, and on his forehead, just above his right eye, is a nasty-looking burn in the shape of the Japanese symbol for ‘fire’. He tends to wear loose clothing - long pants, sneakers, a shirt, a jacket (often of questionable taste), and always - always - a dark baseball cap. He is also almost never seen without a cigarette.

Personality Observant, casual, and criminally psychopathic, Kasai is a man who knows no fear. He’s intelligent, careful, and distant, giving off the facade of a normal, somewhat friendly man of his age while actually being quite calculated and dangerous beneath. He has an unnatural attraction to fire, a love of chaos and crime, absolutely zero morals or any kind of remorse, a tendency toward boredom, and an unusually high level of arrogance, which when combined create a very dangerous persona. He’s prone to violence but not to anger, preferring to talk things through casually while he decimates the people in his way, and is in no way squeamish or hesitant when it comes to such things. That’s not to say he isn’t cautious, though; he’s certainly not stupid, and he knows when to stay hidden or back down.

Due to the nature of his job, he’s innately secretive, although you wouldn’t guess from his casual conversations. He’s more driven now than he once was, but it’s not a very good kind of driven; his ultimate goal is to watch the world, or at the very least The City, collapse into pure, unfettered chaos. He’s old enough to have seen the world in the earliest days of GeneCo and intends to bring it back to even before that - if not completely wipe out everything on it that lives - through the slow, steady process of spreading the corruption of illegal surgeries with the stolen Zydrate ... and a few nice helpings of arson, of course.

This drive came from his chance encounter with an unknown man more than a decade back, who gave him the three words that he has used to propel himself forward in the world: You are better. His arrogance piqued by those words, he set out to make his crime less random than it once was, and focus it into something that might one day get him to the highest echelons of villainy. He makes more money, is generally happier, and gets to see GeneCo struggle to catch him and his fellow Grave Robbers as they break down the society by attacking the supporting pillars beneath it.

Zenjirou Kasai 2/3
[info]wilcoxism
2009-02-21 08:26 am UTC (link)
Background Born in the lower slums of The City, Kasai was never a particularly good child. From a very young age he had an obsession with and attraction to fire, often spending hours watching any flames he could find and stealing matches to make his own. Eventually he began setting fires instead of watching the matches burn out, and his family began to find more and more of their home with scorchmarks where items used to be. It took a turn for the worse when he was seven and start lighting animals on fire - first bugs, then mice and rats, then finally stray animals that wandered the neighborhood begging for scraps. Though they tried to distract him with a vague education and the prospects of getting a job to make money, his family couldn’t get through to him. He would smile and nod and comply, then go right back to what he’d been doing before.

He took to his education well but was limited by his family’s status. As a teenager, he wandered away from home for days at a time, doing odd jobs to make money - but not for the newly-advertised surgeries, as he didn’t have any failing organs or desire to fix his appearance just yet. He used the money to buy matches, lighters, gasoline - anything that would cause a spark or go up in flames - along with cigarettes, which he was smoking well before the legal age. With a surprising speed, Kasai began turning into an arsonist, first lighting empty buildings on fire just to watch them burn, then moving up to occupied slums - sometimes even in broad daylight. Over the course of his evolution as a criminal, he was caught a few times, reprimanded or punished or had someone attempt to “cure” him once they realized he wasn’t going to learn, but he just went with it unchangingly while simultaneously teaching himself to be sneakier about it.

For fifteen years, he wandered The City, doing jobs here and there with no real goals in mind other than to spread chaos through the only thing he truly enjoyed and appreciated - fire. He was a serial arsonist, lacking any plans or patterns, simply lighting things or people or buildings on fire without a care in the world. He was very good at it - almost never caught, and when he was, he got away - and his name was, for a time, feared through some portions of the slums and the middle class. Then came the day, when he was nearly thirty, that he met him - the man that changed his life simply by passing through it.

Sitting near a burning building (burning because of him, of course) and smoking, Kasai assumed he was safe due to his close proximity to the flames. He didn’t expect a tall man with piercing eyes to swoop out of the fire at him and press a hand to his forehead unflinchingly and fearlessly. Too surprised and, for the first time in his life, frightened to do anything about it, he could only sit there as the hand on his forehead left a searing burst of pain that knocked him out, but not before he heard the man speak:

“You are better.”

He woke up later, alone and out of the flames, his forehead throbbing where the Japanese symbol for ‘fire’ had been burned into his skin.

Other Characters: None

Character information

Name: Prof. Octavian Hojo
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII(original game canon only)
Age: 56
Gender: Male
Appearance: Hojo is not an immediately imposing figure. He used to stand at an altitudinous 6'5", though a lifetime of leaning over notes and microscopes has diminished this somewhat; he is also rather thin and with a lankiness that he never seemed to leave behind in adolescence. He has a long face and spidery hands, and his hair is an oily black and often hangs in his face despite his most often pulling it back into a long tail. His features are angular and harsh, and a pair of round, wire-rimmed glasses perch in front of his eyes, though they give him a rather owlish look considering the stringiness of the rest of him. His eyes themselves are the mechanical grey that comes with the digital, video-recording optic implants, though why he continues to wear his glasses(themselves a rarity, at least in upper-class circles where eye replacement is commonplace) no one really knows. When asked, he tends to give a random answer. While he can dress well if the situation calls for it, he normally prefers more simplistic clothing that's easy to replace should it get suddenly splashed with dangerous chemicals.
Personality To call him evil would probably not be inaccurate but it might be a bit misleading. Hojo values science above most things, and he has a somewhat deadly detachedness when it comes to anything that doesn't concern him specifically. People are tools, and while that doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to try and stick everyone he sees with needles it does mean that if you prove otherwise useless he'll consider you expendable. He holds no real loyalties; he goes where the greatest potential for knowledge is. If you haven't wronged him personally, however, he's less treacherous and more apathetic as to what might befall you should his position change.

If you have wronged him personally, he can be quite creative when it comes to revenge. It takes a lot to make him hold a grudge against you, but once you manage to get under his skin he'll do what he can to either make your life as miserable as hell or kill you. He is not without a sense of dark humor, either, especially when it comes to things like torture and death.

Background: Hojo had a fairly privileged upbringing. He was at the top of his class throughout most of his childhood and teenage years, despite some sociopathic behavior; by the time he was seven he was no longer allowed to have pets, after his parents began finding pieces of them around the house. They began pushing him towards medicine and the sciences in an effort to channel his interests into something useful, rather than simply drowning the neighborhood cats so he could study them, and he took to both very nicely.

After finishing his postgraduate education, Hojo quickly found a job in GeneCo's research department. He played a part in the original organ-producing research, eventually making his way up to heading the company's Research and Development department. He also played a major role in the development of Zydrate(its addictive properties weren't quite on purpose, but they certainly were a nice bonus for the company), pretty much ensuring his job security for the rest of his life.

Always the curious one, Hojo had always had something of an interest in the underground markets that always cropped up here and there. This had manifested itself during his college years but didn't go away just because he'd turned professional; he knew where to go to get almost anything a person could want from a black market, and it was here that he discovered another resource waiting to be cultivated.

While GeneCo gave him immense freedom when it came to designing his own experiments, the problem of subjects was a constant annoyance. Down in the dregs of the city he discovered a wealth of down-on-their-luck, drug-addicted people, or people with terminal illnesses and no way to pay for necessary surgeries(or, alternately, people who had gotten surgeries and then lost their money for various reasons, or simply couldn't pay to begin with). He began to carve out a name for himself in the submarkets; the GeneCo executive would gladly lend a hand, cover their surgeries and rescue them from the Repo Men, but not without proper reciprocation.

Simply put, he would give you your life back, provided that you then gave your consent to participate in any and all of his clinical trials and experimental procedures, should he deem you necessary.

Character information

Name Yuffie Kisaragi
Fandom FFVII
Age 19
Gender Female
Appearance She is about 5'2'' in height and not very big in size, which isn't to say she doesn't have muscle. She just happens to be built very small. Yuffie is very obviously Asian in decent, a fact she tends to hold great pride in. The girl likes her heritage. Her eyes are large, brown, and very expressive. Yuffie tends to keep her short black hair out of her eyes with some kind on headband, though why she never just cuts it is something of a mystery. She's got a few scars for various reasons, mostly miscalculating jumping into strange places for bodies or for particularly good things to steal, but they are mostly assumed to be surgery scars instead of what they are and she makes no move to tell anyone otherwise.

She tends to wear boots, this is simply a must when trudging through who knows what and she knows it. The rest of her clothing is a little less practical as a rule, Yuffie likes shorts, she likes short sleeves, and she likes having the ability to move. She gives some of this up for safety in her job, but otherwise? She's rarely seem wearing full pants or long skirts or even long sleeves, though she does like wearing various arm warmers.

Personality Yuffie is naturally an upbeat happy girl if you meet her outside work, possibly a bit ditzy, but overall the bubbly cocky type. The kind of person who constantly puts their foot directly in their mouth at every opportunity. She's loyal to a fault and can be trusted through almost anything, however the same goes for grudges, she is very unlikely to want to be your friend if you've wronged her, or have anything to do with hurting people she cares about.

She's highly intelligent...just not always the wisest. She's impulsive and headstrong and her emotions have a bad habit of getting in her way. Yuffie tends to act and speak before thinking, which often makes her have to backtrack and figure out exactly what she did to make someone angry, even after that she has a hard time apologizing, a very hard time apologizing. There are only about three or four people on the planet who can and should expect one.

However, despite her impulsive, reckless behavior, she's not exactly a push over. If you've got her in a professional situation...she's a bit more likely to keep the bubbly attitude, but more as a way to make you underestimate her. Yuffie's the best at what she does (at least in her mind), knows it, and has no problem acting like it. She's got an attitude, a temper, and she can be downright mean if it suits her. Cheerful and bubbly does not mean nice after all. She also has a greedy streak a mile wide. This can cause her to make decisions she wouldn't normally and do them with a smile. What's hers is hers. This extends to things, people, everything. She keeps what she owns.

Yuffie Kisaragi (2/3)
[info]wutaian_rose
2009-02-23 07:07 pm UTC (link)
Background Born into a higher class family, Yuffie was given the idea she could have anything from a very young age. Anything meant toys, games, clothes....Anything she wanted she got. This, however, did not last long.

When Yuffie was nine her mother died. And she didn't die of exactly natural causes. She had gotten a little too into the surgery scene and had eventually gone underground to get her fix, both of surgery and Zydrate. And because of these underground connections and the fact that she was so far gone, she was behind on payments and Yuffie's mom was killed by Geneco. From that point on, Yuffie grew to loathe Geneco, and everything it stood for. This was one of the reasons her father had to fight with her to get her failing liver replaced when she was fifteen, she didn't want any kind of surgery, mainly because it was Geneco...but eventually was made to have it anyway. She's still angry at her dad for it, even though she doesn't try to deal with it much.

She didn't let this be known until she was sixteen, when she moved out of her home, left the social scene and took a dive into the underworld. She's is currently a thief and a graverobber and has been ever since then. And honestly is very good at it. She's been able to make a living and have fun in her time off. Not that she ever stops being a thief. Picking pockets is a fun pass time if you have nothing better to do walking through town.

Yuffie very much enjoys the fact that she's basically telling Geneco where to shove it with her profession. She occasionally returns home to clean up or hide out so she doesn't get caught. And to check up on her dad. She also tends to find places to crash with friends, often just picking a lock and walking in like she was invited.

Genetics & alterations Before her mother's death she had a few minor surgeries, mainly making her "better" So Yuffie is more flexible and a bit stronger then you'd expect. Her endurance is also high due to some of the modifications. Her last surgery was a Liver replacement when she was fifteen.

Character information

Name Grell Sutcliff
Fandom Kuroshitsuji
Age 26 years old
Gender Male
Appearance Grell is tall, about 5’9”, and very slender. He has pale skin, long straight red hair flowing past his waist, and brightly green eyes. He is nearsighted, and wears a pair of red-framed glasses for this, secured by a silver glasses chain with two little skulls on it. He has a flair for the Victorian-style of dress, and often wears black pants, black high-heeled boots, a long sleeved white blouse (of course the sleeves are cinched in with straps), a set of black gloves, and a brown button-down suit vest. He also wears a woman’s bright red coat, edged in black with a black bow in the back, but never has it closed.
Personality Grell is best described as flamboyant to the core. He has a passion for red, the brighter and more vibrant, the better. Grell appreciates the arts, and adores Shakespeare. He loves music, and is rarely without his music player in a pocket. He dislikes people who wear his favorite color if he feels they don’t deserve to do so. Grell doesn’t consider himself a man, and will refer to himself as a man or woman interchangeably. He’s quite open about his sexuality, and always flirts with guys he finds attractive, regardless of whether or not they’re attracted to him. He’s also paranoid, and carries a pistol secretly whenever he goes out. Grell is secretly quite sadistic, and finds the sight of blood almost calming. He’s only killed on one occasion, but he doesn’t regret it. He knows how to use a chainsaw, and it’s his weapon of choice if it came to that.
Background Grell grew up in the edges of high society, enjoying the luxuries that came his way and generally floating through life. However, the seedier parts of the city spoke to him, and he began slipping away when he could to explore and have his little “adventures”. To hide, he began crossdressing, and found he identified more with women than men. He also discovered his homosexuality, and openly flirted with men he found attractive. He developed a talent for disguise, able to completely distance himself from his real personality when trying on a new identity. Unfortunately, he passed too well for a woman, as he was attacked by two drunken men at one point. It ended with Grell killing the men with a chainsaw that was nearby. At first, he tried to justify the killing to himself, then eventually realized he didn’t care. In fact, he was glad they was gone. He fell in love with the Victorian era, and dressed himself in clothes styled after the time while reading Shakespeare. Of course, being too old fashioned wasn’t good, and he continued to explore, loving the city in its entirety, but secretly carrying a pistol for protection. His parents were very distant, disapproving of his flamboyance, but still supplying him with money for his needs and wants. Now 26, he’s living a life that’s perfect in all way except one, the lack of someone who loves him.
Genetics & alterations Grell’s only had one type of surgery, dental. His teeth were altered to be completely straight and even. Although he keeps being offered eye surgery, he refuses, saying his glasses make him look classy and unique

First person voice post
Alright, is it on? *silence for three seconds* There we are. So, it’s time for the recording. Time moves fast, doesn’t it?

What have I been doing? Same old, same old. Receiving my weekly “allowance”, running around, looking fabulous.

Something interesting…I went to the theatre the other day. It was a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Absolutely lovely performance, and the Romeo didn’t look half bad either. *chuckle*

But…the play made me cry for all the obvious reasons and then some. I mean, yes, beautiful words, sad story.

I think…I’m jealous. Of the two. They had each other, their true love.

And I don't. There's no one I've met in this city who even considers me a friend, truly, let alone a love.

I wonder, will I ever?

Third person Grell stretched and yawned as his eyelids fluttered open. Morning felt like it had come too soon, again. He reached for his glasses, sat up, and put them on to bring the world into focus. He saw what he expected, his room, with everything as he wanted it. Looking around, Grell saw that once again, he’d been left breakfast with a note. He picked it up and scanned it before tossing it away. Another obligation. Never actually let me know, just tell me. Sighing, he picked up the coffee. No good to start brooding right after you woke up. When he finished, he gently got up.


So, another function today. Did it ever end? All it was was old people gabbing on about surgery and occasionally staring at him disapprovingly. Of course, he pretended not to see. Though his parents would ignore him. Whatever, he thought. It’s almost better that way. He took out a plain black suit and white shirt from his closet and changed. That was the easy part. Next was always harder. He switched his glasses for contacts, then took the temporary hair dye from the shelf. Would it once kill them to let me go as I am? he thought as he put it in. When it was done, he tied his hair back in a ponytail, then took a red ribbon and tied it in a bow around it. Grell never would go without this defiance.

Name Sho Minamimoto
Fandom The World Ends With You
Age 18
Gender Male
Appearance While a name like Minamimoto would hint Japanese descent, his looks would keep you guessing anything in particular. His looks are as peculiar as his personality, with a slightly darkish skin tone, catlike eyes, pointed teeth nearly perpetually shown whether he's grinning or frowning, and scruffy pale ashy-gray hair. In build he's lean and scrappy-looking and he stands at about five and a half feet tall, and also distinct is the way he dresses - black and gray, mostly, preferring black coats and boots, and a favorite black cap of his is practically his trademark.

Personality The easiest things to call Minamimoto are along the lines of "eccentric," "oddball," some might say "mad genius." This highly intelligent ex-lab rat is a mathematical conundrum, putting it in terms he might like, as quirky as he is clever, and it's not rare that he makes those two traits seem like one and the same. For one thing, he's a math whiz who litters his speech with mathematical euphemisms (often in place of curse words - "You zetta sonova digit! What the factor's wrong with you, hectopascal?!") and a warped kind of cynic fascinated with art and beauty he views as practically nonexistant in a "garbage" world, spending much of his spare time on his own bizarre brand of arts and crafts, making peculiar sculptures out of scrap metal (often towers on which he later lounges) as a reflection of his views. A loner and bit of a loose cannon, Minamimoto is unpredictable, difficult to understand or interpret, nor does he care to explain himself or hide one of the few things that is obvious about him - he usually acts as if he's up to something. He's more ambitious than his lazy tendencies would suggest, as well as being arrogant and cocky. On yet another hand, he's more passionate than he seems, but simply on his own terms about things he actually feels engaged in, apathetic about anything else. He can't help letting emotions like frustration, excitement, even embarrassment show in his own "unique" way. At the risk of making myself sound even more ridiculous, as far as anyone can tell Minamimoto is a quirky young man who is happiest in his own little world of numbers and visions of beauty, moving to the beat of his own drum - and doesn't have much patience for that beat being interrupted.

Background On the subject of early childhood, parents, everything before the more "interesting" part of his life, Minamimoto has minimal memory and care. What he does gather is that he must have been orphaned or similarly violently separated from his family at a young age, since he's been told that he was in pretty bad physical condition when he was found by agents of Reaper Co. - the company seemed to have found most of its young wards/subjects half-dead, severely injured or ill, both to keep anyone from thinking it made a difference if they went missing and to get them to willingly undergo a few early operations while throwing in a few also-early modifications.

Reaper Co., headed by a figure codenamed the Composer, was a rather small, highly secretive company with a love of playing god, focusing on genetic enhancements and alterations, and it was this organization that took Sho in - in fact, life as one of their test subjects wasn't half bad. As for the experimentation, once he was able to notice and comprehend it, the somewhat twisted lad went along with it willingly and excitedly, unconcerned with the possibility of something going awry, curious with what each surgery or injection would bring him while observing what it brought others - it all became a game to him. The Composer's wealth allowed the company's wards to be well-cared for and well-educated, and their numbers meant there was always company whether or not it was particularly wanted.

Sort of a nuisance for Sho. His preference was spending time alone, leaving him rather bored when no experimentation was taking place.

Seeking a way to keep himself occupied, he one day locked himself in his room with a few spare machine parts and began his first odd little arts and crafts session - the parts were small, few, and hard to work with. Mildly frustrated, he went out presumably unnoticed to search the Reaper Co. premises for more material, a search that brought him further and further from the building and closer and closer to The City. And when he indulged his curiosity by leaving Reaper Co. property for it, he took right to it.

Character information

Name Yoite
Fandom Nabari no Ou
Age 16
Gender Male
Appearance Yoite stands at five foot, nine inches tall. He roughtly weighs about one hundred pounds. He has a slendar face, with dark blue eyes and jet black hair. It's cropped really short in the back, like it was cut with a razor. He has longer bangs parted down the middle that frame his cheek bones. His limbs seem long in comparison to how thin his frame is, his abdomen naturally long, as well as his legs. He's usually clad in a tan colored turtleneck, that covers an old slash wound across his throat. He also wears a pair of form fitting black pants and black military type boots underneath. Over that, he wears a form fitting black trench coat. It has six buttons on the front of it. He usually is never seen without his tan colored newsboy cap on. He's shy about exposing himself to anyone, so he usually never takes off his tan colored leather gloves either.

Personality Some of Yoite's personality characteristics include being determined, reserved and melancholy, as well as detached, unpredictable and anti-social. He keeps to himself, so he's usually quiet, unless someone is speaking to him. He can also be considered shrewd, judgmental, focused and distrusting towards others. He dislikes physical contact at all costs. He also doesn't like sympathetic or overly emotional people. He tends to keep to himself, disliking people's help and tends to brush people off often. (A few exceptions to the rule being Yukimi, Kazuho and Miharu.) He's a great listener, even if he doesn't give his opinion much, unless constantly pestered to or he feels it's important. With his senses failing him, he can't taste food, but he has a bottomless pit for a stomach and eats almost ten meals a day, if someone offers it to him. When Hattori gives Suiko-han a mission, he follows orders without complaints, right down to the very last detail. He's focused and goal oriented in the sense he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, no matter the consequences or obstacles in his way. He can be considered stubborn to some people, especially where Yukimi is involved. He likes his independence and his solitude. They get into a lot of arguments where his best "intentions" lie.

Yoite Application part 2
[info]p_reservation
2009-04-15 11:40 am UTC (link)
Background Yoite was born into a loveless family, from a Mother that was ill and died in childbirth. His Father remarried within a year, wanting to forget about "Sora" as soon as possible. At least, that's what his Mother had wanted to name her daughter. Yoite lived in the basement of the house his Father had, ignored by the step-children who meant the world to the "happy family." He was treated like a prisoner, usually starved and forbidden to leave the house. His family believed if anyone saw him, that he would bring bad luck to their family or their reputation within the world of Geneco. The name had been something he became very familiar with from a young age, even if he didn't know what it was at first. The only person that treated him somewhat like a human being was his half-brother Tsukasa. He was a year younger than Yoite, but was far more healthy and active in comparison. Yoite was small and frail for a boy of his age. Being malnurished made his bones weak and his lungs deceptiable to any multitude of viruses to strike the world.

When he was ten years old, his family decided they were tired of his existence taking up space in their life. They decided to gang up on him, taking a kitchen knife with them to his small corner of the world and attempted to kill him in his sleep. When Tsukasa was passed the knife, he couldn't do it and instead urged his older brother to run as fast as he could, until he could escape. Slashed across the neck, he made it far as he could, before passing out somewhere in the streets. He doesn't remember much from that time, except that someone asked if he was going to make it before blacking out. When he woke up, there was a stitch across his neck and he was left behind a dumpster. A man with long brown hair and a fur jacket was waving a green colored elixir in front of his face, telling him it would have made things easier if he was cooperative... and now there was a fee to be paid. He wasn't exactly sure what he had gotten himself into, except now he was apart of the underworld and it would be his home from now on. He had to try a multitude of things to just stay alive, not above luring customers to him looking for a good time, only to attack and pick-pocket them. The whores of the neighborhood said he was something pretty, with his blue eyes and long eyelashes. He was tall and on the skinny side, so if he wore something more revealing or form fitting, it would attract more people. He considered the idea, as he started building up his street skills. He had become quite good at disposing of the unconscious customers he knocked out, stealing almost everything on their person to sell for money or trade for food.

About a year passed, before he felt a small cough burning begin within his lungs. Being surrounded by filth, trash and pollution was starting to take a toll on his weakened physical condition. The table scraps he found were enough to get himself by, from time to time, but it was never anything to do his body justice. Already being anorexic and weak, he contracted a case of Tuberculosis that attacked his viral system and left him fighting for his life. Living on the streets, he knew there were ways to get cheap medications or surgery's if he needed them. It seemed all the low-concentrated antibiotics weren't enough to do more than postpone the side effects from time to time. In was here in the slums that he met the first person he ever relied on, or could roughly consider "a friend." A young boy about his age, named Gau Meguro had apparently lost his Mother and was now homeless as well. He seemed new to these sides of the streets, so he showed him the ropes the best he could. Gau became pretty good at verbally bartering things and his negotiating skills and persistence usually got them out of sticky situations. With twice the help, it had become easier to make quick cash and locate food. It was living in the slums that taught them about the real world around them. What people with money and power could do in a society ruled over by "Geneco" and the Repomen who scourged the streets at night. He remembered when it seemed like a bedtime story to scare children and now, it was a fear known to everyone without a roof over their heads.

Name Kazuhiko Yukimi
Fandom Nabari no Ou
Age 27
Gender Male
Appearance Yukimi is around five feet, nine inches tall. He is about one-hundred and fifty pounds, fairly built, but not overly muscular. He has a mostly squared jaw and he can grow stubble from time to time. He has a mussy head of blonde hair and bright blue eyes that have a much different look than normal. When he dresses normally, he has a varying style. When sitting around, he's happy to wear a plain t-shirt and a pair of jeans. When out and about, he wears varying layers of button up shirts and zip-up sweaters. He is almost always wearing a different sort of headband, usually black with a different design embroidered into each one of them. He can also dress nicely when he needs to, though he can still manage to make that look unruly. A plain colored suit with a plain colored tie loosely worn around his neck. He normally wears boots with his normal outfits and prefers to sit around in socks at home.

Personality Yukimi is a rough around the edges kind of guy, but he has a softer side to him as well. He's childish and is usually asked "are you an elementary student?" on occasion. He has a short fuse and will snap if someone says something at his expense. He can be loud and obnoxious at times, especially if he had been drinking. He has a general dislike for younger children and can't stand to be around them for long periods of time. He is untidy, but claims his messes are organized. He procrastinates on his work and can be found rushing his deadlines. He's very cocky and boastful. His softer side comes out a lot more than he would like to admit. He is very caring to those he is close to, like his sister and Yoite. He is an open cat lover and avid baseball fan, as well. Despite his tough personality, he knows his place in the world and won't step out of line if he knows it will end badly. He is very reliant with technology. He's great at multitasking and can be a good listener when he wants to be. He doesn't care much about his personal appearance, but will get a twitch if someone insults him.

Re: Yukimi Application Part 2.
[info]bananajai
2009-04-15 12:22 pm UTC (link)
Background Yukimi was born and raised in the middle class of the city. He lived with his father, mother, and younger sister Kazuho. Their parents fought nearly all the time and as a result, Yukimi's mother left. Their father, hurt by the separation, blamed his children instead of himself, and he would constantly come home drunk and angry. One day, their father came home and tried to attack the children. Yukimi jumped in to protect his sister and was attacked instead. Fortuneatly, a neighbor overheard the commotion and called the police. They arrived just in time and carted Yukimi's father off to jail. Yukimi and Kazuho, fearing they would end up in an orphange or be separated, ran away before the police had a chance to talk to them. They ended up in the submarkets where the two of them learned about how life was in the lower class.

The two of them managed to survive by doing odd jobs or stealing. Kazuho soon became interested in how the surgeries worked and would frequent that part of the submarkets. Eventually, she was able to obtain medical books and began to learn the surgeries on her own. Her ability to pick up the trade was incredible and she caught the eye of Geneco. Soon, they came down to the lower class and sought her out, offering her a job and a home. Yukimi, wanting to see his sister live a better life, urged her to go without him.

Yukimi lived alone for the next eight years, still being caught up in odd jobs or the occasional theft. At the age of twenty-three, Yukimi happened upon a young boy with black hair. He noticed the boy was much to young to be living and working on ths streets. When Yukimi approached him, he was immediately treated like another customer of the streets. Upset and confused, Yukimi pulled the boy off of him, but upon doing so, the young boy began coughing up blood. Worried, Yukimi let him go and tried to offer him help, but the boy ran off. Everyday after that, Yukimi would come down to the slums looking for the younger boy. He was always lucky enough to find the boy in the same spot. Yukimi would offer him food and sometimes money; just enough to get him medicine, but the boy would say no everytime. Frustrated, Yukimi began to just leave the food for him.


A month had gone by and Yukimi had begun to make visiting the young boy a daily ritual. One fateful day, Yukimi had gone down the alleys to see if the boy wanted to go to the carnival, but instead found the young boy in the middle of chaos. Geneco officers, drug dealers and whores were rioting. When an officer grabbed the boy and tried to drag him off, Yukimi ran in to rescue him. Gunshots broke out and Yukimi threw himself in front of the young boy to shield him. Unfortunately, Yukimi received the worst of it and his right arm was shredded by the bullets. Grabbing the young boy, Yukimi ran off with him into the crowd. Blood had been pouring from his wound and Yukimi knew he had no other choice but to have it surgically removed. To his surprise, the young boy stayed with him, probably to show his gratitude. Feeling that the two of them were now a lot closer, Yukimi gave the young boy the name "Yoite".

Character information

Name Gau Meguro
Fandom Nabari no Ou
Age 16
Gender Male
Appearance If Gau never spoke, he’d be fairly nondescript. At 16, he’s a little under the average height for his age at 5’5. Also, he’s on the scrawny side, his naturally thin frame barely looking like it’s taken care of. His most noticeable trait is without a doubt his thick head of dark brown curly hair, which can easily be mistaken for black. It’s hard to miss in a crowd, and actually makes him look taller. His eyes are a dark emerald green, large and very expressive. However, you rarely need to stare at his eye to tell how he’s feeling- he makes it known clearly and with great volume. As far as clothing goes, when given the choice he likes to wear sensible, neutral outfits, and has a fondness for sweater vests. He’s always very neat and trim- if he’s ever caught looking sloppy or out-of-sorts, there’s something terribly wrong. His posture is good, yet another sign of his need for order and discipline.

Personality When it comes right down to it, Gau’s world revolves around Raikou- he has nothing but utmost loyalty and devotion for the man. Everything else comes second, even his own life. He is extremely meticulous and uptight, and it is not rare to see him get worked up over little things. When it comes to whatever job he is given, he performs to the best of his ability. His intelligence is a great asset to him, as he has a nearly photographic memory. As he suffers from mild OCD, he keeps all of his things neatly organized and- more often than not- color coded. This extends to whenever he is surrounded by excessive mess- he has to clean it up immediately. Despite everything that has happened to him, at heart he is a true idealist. He honestly believes that even though the world is broken and corrupt, it is possible for people to fix it… and someday they will. He’s very vocal about his beliefs once someone gets him on the subject. Also, he has an over-protective streak a mile wide, which Raikou and Yoite tend to get the brunt of.

Gau Meguro Application, Part 2
[info]x0whitelily0x
2009-04-18 09:04 pm UTC (link)
Background Gau’s family life was never anything particularly interesting. He grew up in the middle-class district with his father and mother, and Gau had no reason to think anything would change. Unfortunately, shortly after he turned eight, it did. His father was taken out by the Repoman, having missed a payment on his liver transplant. After having paid the expenses for the funeral, and the family income suddenly halved, Gau and his mother had to move to the lower-class district. It was hardly a decent place to raise a child, but there was no choice, and Gau’s mother did her best to make sure that morals and ethics were firmly imprinted in her son’s mind, despite their surroundings.

Unfortunately, the world did not share her morals. One day when she was out shopping, Gau’s mother was attacked and killed by a random mugger, leaving her son all alone. With no way to keep the apartment, Gau was forced onto the streets at the age of eleven. Confused and scared, he had no idea how he was supposed to survive in such an environment. It was then that he met Yoite. After the initial shock of seeing someone else as young as he out on the streets wore off, the two agreed to work together (mostly because of Gau’s persistence). Gau’s intelligence came in handy when it became apparent that he could talk circles around a good deal of the adults down in the sub-markets, and it wasn’t long before they became a real team.

But a year later, things changed once more. While walking along the streets alone, Gau came across a familiar face. Although he had only seen it once in passing, there was no way he could ever forget the face of the man who killed his mother. Without thinking, he tried to take justice into his own hands and attacked him. But of course, a twelve year-old boy was really no match for a full grown man. Gau would have been killed, if not for the intervention of Raikou Shimizu. The pink-haired man stepped in and saved Gau’s life, and took him into his home. Although Gau wanted to take Yoite with him, the taller boy refused. Instead, Gau settled for insisting that Yoite stay for visits from time to time.

After a few months, though, they unfortunately lost contact. Since then, Gau has been trying his best to live up to the standards Raikou has unwittingly set for him. While he’s still currently unemployed, he’s stopped stealing and spending time in the sub-markets, choosing instead to try and find an honest profession.

Genetics & alterations As of now, none.

Character information

Name Misa Amane
Fandom Death Note
Age 21
Gender Female
Appearance Everything about Misa makes her look too young for her years. She’s barely 4’11, delicate and petite. All her features- from her large eyes to her soft lips- give the impression that she’s still in her teens, despite being twenty-one. She takes great pride in her appearance, fully aware that it’s what people will find most important about her. Her hair is light blonde, and more often than not she ties some of it into two small pigtails, leaving the rest down. Because of the surgery she’s undergone, her eyes change color. They are either a pretty light blue, which is close to her original eye color, or a much darker brown. She’s very slim, but has a nice waist and nicer chest. Whether or not she’s on the job, she doesn’t change her choice of apparel either way. Short skirts and fishnet stockings are very common in her wardrobe, as are Gothic Lolita style dresses and tops. As far as she’s concerned, there’s no sense in hiding what everyone wants to see.

Personality Misa’s appearance isn’t the only thing that’s childish about her. She acts much younger and more innocent than she is, especially around men. She often speaks in the third person, which a lot of people find cute and makes her sound less intelligent. Sugary sweet and vaguely oblivious, she does her best to act exactly the way people will expect her to. In truth, however, she’s very manipulative and clever, well-versed in how to wrap men around her finger- all it takes is a cute smile and adoring doe eyes. More than anything, though, she just wants to be loved. She’s incredibly insecure and would do anything not to be left alone. She lets her morals and sense of self get twisted, because it lets her justify her actions. When she finds someone she truly loves, she devotes herself to him entirely and will do literally anything he asks her to do. She has utmost loyalty to her friends, although there are very few people she trusts or connects strongly enough with for her to develop many lasting relationships.

Misa Amane Application, Part 2
[info]x0whitelily0x
2009-04-19 04:45 am UTC (link)
Background Misa Amane had a very happy childhood. She lived with her mother and father, who both loved her very much, in the middle class district. As she grew up, she was very well aware of her natural attractiveness. It was the reason why girls tended to dislike her while boys would throw themselves at her for a chance between the sheets. Not that she ever did such things- Misa was a good girl who wanted to fall in love with someone first. A handsome and charming prince, perhaps, who would come and sweep her off her feet. But a date here, a kiss there… no harm in that.

One night, not long after she turned eighteen, Misa came to a cruel awakening. She was late coming home, but still arrived soon enough to hear the gunshots and see a man run past her and out of their house. Her parent’s bodies were right in front of her, their blood spilling all over the floor. A botched robbery, the police called it.

Misa had no problem identifying the killer- she could not forget a single detail of that night. Nor could she ignore that neither the boys who admired her nor the girls who called themselves her friends ever came to check up on her after the news had been made public. Did any of them ever really care about her? The answer was, of course, ‘no’. Her parents were the only ones in the world who had ever really loved her. They had been good people. And this was a world in which good people died violently and for no reason. Misa did not want to live in a world like that all alone, but would not kill herself. She was the only witness to the murder- it was up to her to bring the killer to justice.

But the trial got delayed. The man started spreading rumors that Misa was falsely accusing him, as he had rejected her previously. It was nonsense- Misa had never met the man before in her life. But she could not prove it, and he was insistent. When Misa’s lawyer told her that the man would almost definitely be found innocent, she had a break down. She knew, she knew he was the man responsible. He had taken everything important from her, and he would walk away from it all without a scratch… and there was nothing she could do to stop it from happening.

Confused, horrified, enraged, and in total despair, she stumbled into the submarket by accident. There a man approached her, promising her something that would take away all her pain for a price. Not really understanding what was happening, she admitted that she had no money on her. The man just smiled and pressed the Zydrate gun against her thigh, saying that she could pay in other ways. The gun went off, and suddenly there was a wonderful feeling of numbness- she could never remember what happened next, but when she came to her senses she was lying on the ground, clothing partially removed and her skirt stained with various fluids, so it was not hard to guess. And yet… she found herself not caring. It had, after all, been payment for that desperately needed numbness.

She went home that night, with no more expectations of the world. It was only a day or two later that she was surprised once again. Her lawyer called to tell her that her parent’s killer had been found dead with his heart torn out. The Repo man had paid him a visit. The Repo man had punished him. The Repo man brought Misa vengeance.

The Repo man… was Misa’s savior.

Since that night, Misa has not been the same. She has no illusions about the nature of the world- not when murderers are punished by assassins and not judges. But instead of breaking down again, she chose to adapt to it. The night had left her craving the Zydrate, and she knew now the best way to get it. She’s been turning tricks along the submarket, and lives in an apartment in the lower class district. She’s quite popular too, but then she always has been. And naturally, she’s always on the look-out for news about the Repo men. Her reason for living right now is nothing more than to get the opportunity to thank the one who gave her vengeance, unaware as he no doubt was.

Character information

Name Anise Tatlin
Fandom Tales of the Abyss
Age 13
Gender female

Appearance 150 words
Anise is short—a mere 4’11”, but she’s still growing—and somewhat small in frame. She has a mass of dark hair that’s usually just pulled into pigtails; if she left it down, you probably couldn’t see her face under it all. She’s one of those blessed people who tans easily and with little effort; just being outside for awhile will do it, usually with virtually no risk of sunburn.

Not that the mun is jealous or anything. >> Moving on.

Usually, she’s dressed in what she has decided is her uniform (it’s classy and makes her look rich!): nice shoes, long white socks that come up past her knees, skirt with a skort function underneath, off-shoulders sleeves, and a nice cape-y vest to go over the whole ensemble. Her held-together-with-love-and-a-prayer doll, Tokunaga, always rests on her back. Always. He’s held up by some sort of clasp.

Anise Tatlin 2/3

Personality
If you asked Anise about her own personality, she would insist that she’s a delicate maiden who needs a (rich!) prince to come rescue her from her sad state of being. She would be dead wrong.

Anise is energetic, rambunctious, headstrong, short-tempered, and more than a bit greedy. She aspires to hit it big, either by luck or by marriage, and will not hesitate to put up a fight with anything that gets in her way. While she’s actually somewhat precocious and is very capable of higher-level thinking, she can appear to very childish. The fact that she carries a doll around with her and her habit of announcing displeasure with a loud “Booooo!” certainly don’t help matters.

When it comes to people she cares about, family or otherwise, Anise is intensely loyal. She’ll do just about anything to keep those close to her safe, which is part of the reason Gene Co assigned her to be a bodyguard in the first place. They assumed being a guardian would come naturally, given her protective nature.

Background
Anise Tatlin’s family is in a great deal of debt.

Oliver and Pamela Tatlin’s monetary woes come largely from altruism and gullibility, as opposed to materialism and narcissistic surgery. Unfortunately, they just never learned how to properly manage money, and their devout nature often caused them to not notice things like malicious intent. (Yes, religion persists in the city. Just because it’s not popular doesn’t mean people stopped believing entirely.)

It was in this environment, in the slums, that Anise grew up. Despite her parents’ frustrating ability to lose money before they ever saw it, they always found a way to provide for their daughter, and the three of them were very close.

Somehow, as Anise grew she acquired some sort of monetary sense. As she approached her teenage years, she started to realize a troubling pattern. The bills scattered around the coffee table amounted to more than the three of them were able to scrape together, and her father had just gotten a final notice from Gene Co about a replaced liver. Even at the age of twelve, Anise realized that meant her father had 90 days to live. She asked her parents about it, and they simply told her it was in God’s hands.

Anise wasn’t satisfied with that answer. She went to petition Gene Co directly, acting as a character witness on her father’s behalf and offering to do anything, anything to help work off her parents’ debt.

Amazingly, the petition worked. In exchange for letting her father live, Gene Co essentially took possession of the family itself. Oliver and Pamela were taken in as unpaid servants in the Largo estate. Anise herself was assigned to act as an official bodyguard to Gene Co executives (or, rather, their children—her young age makes her a good candidate, as it holds the element of surprise. She just appears to be a friend of babysitter). She makes a small stipend, most of which she forwards to her parents, but certainly not enough to make a difference in the long run.

Her solution to that predicament? Marry rich, of course!

Since then, she’s developed a sort-of-kind-of friendship with Dist, and a sort of professional camaraderie with Jade, since their different positions often overlap in responsibility when things go awry.

Genetics & alterations Nothing as of yet.

Tokunaga, the doll her mother made for her right before she took her assignment at Gene Co, has seen some alterations c/o of Dist. At Anise’s command, it grows several times her size so she can hop on its back and do some serious hurting.

Not that dolls have genetics or anything. But you know what I mean. :)

Character information

Name Alecto Prashukart
Fandom The Tarot Cafe
Age 38
Gender Male
Appearance Standing at six feet and four inches tall, Alecto is a muscular black man, with a handsome face that seems to be forever etched in a hard, stern expression. His long dark black hair is always in tight cornrows and braids that stretch down to his back, with no bangs. His eyes are greenish-gold eyes with slit pupils, thanks to cosmetic surgery. His body is in excellent shape, with hard muscles thanks to a combination of years of working out, and minor surgeries here and then. He has straight, white teeth, and that his canines are sharp and pointed.

Though his outfits vary, the most common trait among them is long coats that try and cover as much of his body as possible horizontally, including long sleeves. His hands are also ‘hidden’, usually in dark gloves. Though he sounds like a man that would stand out, he can be very stealthy with soft, quiet movements. You may not realize he has been following you for blocks, until it is too late.

Personality On the outside, and to strangers, Alecto is a brooding, angry man. If you’re not important to him and to his mission, you will be easily ignored, or just given a few curt, harsh words. He likes to make his opinion known, believing his to be the best. He carries a superior attitude, believing the weak and poor to be utterly beneath him and not worth his time, nor deserving to even be alive. He is easily prone to anger if someone dares try to correct him, or gets in his way, and he is not above violence to make people shut up or make them cooperate.

On the inside? He is a terribly insecure man, in need of love and friendship. That’s why he seeks out Ashes’ killer, as now he believes no one will ever truly care for him the way Ashes did. He even has regrets over how he treated Ashes, wishing he had been less rude to him and more caring. As such, he has doubts whether how much Ashes cared about him in return. If someone else is kind to him, he automatically assumes they want something out of him, and won’t trust them.

However, there is yet another layer to him for those who know him very personally. He is oblivious to his own sexuality, at first seeing nothing wrong with chaining up a young man and sneaking into their bed. However, when it is pointed out, or is he flirted with, he becomes horribly embarrassed, flailing his arms and blushing deeply. He doesn’t know how to handle sexual situations, and so turns into a naïve and stupid little boy. He’ll most likely try to flee in such situations, or change the subject. If he can’t, he’ll just continue to babble nonsensically.

Alecto - 2/3
[info]cuterabbit33
2009-05-24 10:25 pm UTC (link)
Background Ever since they were children, Ashes and Alecto were inseparable. Growing up in an upper-middle class environment, he always looked down on the poor and the weak, feeling they were less than human. His parents worked hard to send him to an exclusive private school, which is where he met Ashes Kayomart. He was Alecto’s very opposite – light hearted and carefree. Like opposite ends of a magnet Alecto felt drawn to Ashes, and would try to follow Ashes everywhere, trying to protect him from whatever dangers the world had. Feeling as if Ashes was his only friend, the only one who would ever understand him, he was secretly brokenhearted when Ashes was married (yet he still agreed to be the best man.) Alecto still tried to remain in Ashes life in any way possible, though he would often yell or berate Ashes for any ‘foolish’ things he had done.

When the great organ failures hit the world, Alecto was one of the lucky few unaffected. Ashes was not. Alecto offered to give Ashes whatever he needed, but Ashes refused to have his dearest friend die for him. Instead, Alecto decided to dive into his work, being a bodyguard. He protected the rich, the wanted, the dangerous, saving his money for the operations his best friend needed. He did this without telling Ashes, not realizing that Ashes would have never accepted the money. However, he spent so much time in this job, he was oblivious to many things that happened in Ashes’ life – including the birth of his son.

Finally, he had enough money to pay off Ashes operations! He returned to Ashes hometown… to find an empty home. Those who lived near Ashes informed Alecto that the family had taken in a sweet little girl named Pamela, but not long after her arrival, Ashes had vanished… most likely Repo’d, to help the child. The mother had forgotten her own payments to the Repo Men, swallowed up in her grief, and the boy was missing.

Alecto was enraged by these words – whoever this Pamela was, she was going to pay for what she had done! So began his hunt to find Pamela and punish her for taking away his reason for living.. He still maintained his job as a bodyguard, but now used this to his advantage to try and find information about her. As years passed, he read about a rising star; a model named Ash. Seeing the boy for the first time, Alecto’s mind snapped just a little bit more, and now his hunt widened to include this boy. He failed Ashes – he would keep Ash safe.

Even if Ash didn’t want it.

Genetics & alterations His eye color has been genetically altered (most likely due to a suggestion from Ashes) , and his muscles and stamina have been worked on a few times, as mentioned before.

Samples

First person This newest assignment is the most aggravating one yet. I can understand that my personal feelings should never conflict with a client … yet with the way this one is acting, I think it’d be doing the world of a service to let him get killed. He doesn’t know when to shut up, he’s constantly running away, and he’s in over his head in surgeries.

The money is good, that much I will admit. At least it’s going into good hands. I have to wonder how long someone like this is meant to live, anyway. Maybe with any luck, he owes a few more debts than he can pay, and then I can move onto a more bearable client.

Character information

Name Fujimaru Takagi aka "Falcon"
Fandom Bloody Monday
Age 17
Gender Male
Appearance Fujimaru is 5'8" and a bit lanky, with dark, somewhat shaggy hair and piercing gray eyes. When he's particularly focused, some say his eyes take on the appearance of a bird's. He tends to dress comfortably, in light layers, as he is accustomed to being around his many computers. The layers also give him freedom of movement when he's helping his sister, making computer repairs, or attempting to hide things. While comfort and functionality rule his dress, Fujimaru is obviously well-to-do, and though his appearance looks messy at times, it is most assuredly the chic variety of disarray.

Ever-present on his person is a wallet chain with a flash drive at the end of it. This is his sacred data backup drive, and he never goes anywhere without it, even if he's forced to leave his laptop behind. Anything of importance to him is stored on this drive, and he obsessively saves, copies, and protects the data on it. It's unlikely that one will ever find him without a courier bag or backpack containing his precious laptop. Well, his newest one, anyway.

Personality Fujimaru is a relatively normal teenage boy: he's weak to girly bits, games, and skipping out on responsibility. He's fiercely loyal to his family and friends, though, and shockingly even-headed when he's in a situation he thinks he can control (i.e. when he's hacking or able to reason his way through a situation). However, when initially confronted with something dangerous, unpredictable, or frightening, he'll frequently get the look of a deer in the headlights and lose all his cool in an instant. He has an excellent mind and is quite clever, but his fight-or-flight instinct trips him up in difficult situations. As soon as he feels like he has a handle on things, he's got a better chance of a good result than most folks. There's a sense of pride he derives from this, a sort of cockiness that he only shows to adversaries and the adults who rule the system he wants to buck. When Fujimaru wants to get something done, not much can stand in his way.

...Or so he thinks.

Fujimaru Takagi 2/3
[info]iverin
2009-07-03 06:45 am UTC (link)
Background Fujimaru was the first born son of Ryunosuke and Kanako Takagi. He was always bright, inquisitive, and mischievous. There was rarely a day when they didn't catch him tinkering with something, disassembling his toys, or generally getting into trouble. Of course, with a GeneCo employee as a father, the Takagi family never wanted for anything. They lived comfortably and safely, well away from the horrors of graveyards and dilapidated hospitals. Shortly after Fujimaru turned two, the family welcomed a little girl, Haruka. It wasn't long before genetics caught up with her: Born with weak kidneys, she must receive dialysis treatment bi-weekly or risk kidney failure. With all the improvements and advances humanity has made (thanks, GeneCo!) one wonders why such a girl would be made to go through such difficulty. It is the route her parents chose, and Fujimaru never questioned the wisdom of his parents.

The family came together and supported their sick little girl, showering her with love and affection through the discomfort of her treatments. Fujimaru enjoyed a normal childhood, other than that, and was especially doted upon by his technology-loving mother. She and Fujimaru would blog together, make videos to send to dad, and even began crafting a learning game for little Haruka. Kanako even bought her son his first computer (which he, in true boyish form, used to hack his very first porn site). Everyone was happy. Everything was normal.

Suddenly, with absolutely no warning, Kanako died. To this day, Fujimaru hasn't been told the cause, but he lived daily with the result: a heartbroken, workaholic father. Desperate for attention, the teenaged Fujimaru turned to bigger and more dangerous hacking exploits. At age 15 he was caught hacking into the GeneCo information servers. Though he did it just for fun, the consequences were horrendous: he was apprehended and hauled in, briefly interrogated, and saved only by the grace and reputation of his father. No one, it was rumored, had ever hacked into those servers. They smiled and let him go, though, and he promised never to hack again. He devoted his time instead to his sister and to programming.

Relations between Fujimaru and his father were, thereafter, even more strained. Despite the heavy load put upon him, Fujimaru did his best to patiently wait for the day his father would come home just a little earlier. Maybe, just once, he wouldn't miss dinner. Things got a little better. Silence turned into phone calls when he'd be late coming home, giving Fujimaru time to make up a good excuse for his little sister. Never promises, but always a little step closer to hope.

Fate had other plans. Ryunosuke was a long-time employee of GeneCo, well-respected in his division of the information-gathering department. However, the issue of corruption came up--there was a leak somewhere in the department--and he was inexplicably accused of two murders, throwing his division into chaos. His last communication with his son was brief, a string of words that meant nothing to Fujimaru, but that his father urged him to always remember. Fujimaru's father disappeared, leaving an already broken family with nothing to cling to and an awful accusation to be answered for. If he was guilty, he'd have to be brought to justice, but if not...

Enter GeneCo's helpful representatives. "Help us find him," they said, "and we'll fix your sister."

To this day, Fujimaru wonders whether or not his father is on GeneCo's side, or is, as accused, a traitor. He holds his sister's life in his hands, and every little task he is put to is for her sake. As long as she is safe, he can manage the rest.

Genetics & alterations Fujimaru has no alterations to his genetics or body whatsoever, though some people question whether or not his eyes are real.
