→ AU INFO

AU Name: Yuya Sakaki

AU Blurb: The Sakakis have been a fairly established family in Vitae since Yuya's great-grandmother immigrated. She carved a place for herself among the other Japanese immigrants as an entertainer and socialite, and opened a teahouse (name forthcoming) that quickly gained popularity with tourists and locals alike for the drink, decor, and hosting. It's less of a daily hangout and more of a special occasion kind of place, and almost exclusively serves the teas made at the ryokan.

It's been the pride of the family and kept exclusively within them, not even hiring staff from outside the family. "Charming" and "beautiful" are synonymous with all the Sakakis... to anyone who knows them only as the dedicated hosts of the teahouse.

The locals that know them on a more personal level all agree something about them is... off. Details don't add up, and despite how long they've lived in the city somehow they've only fallen for, and wed, people from elsewhere who seemingly show up suddenly one day. Plenty of rumors, some more conspiratorial than others, surround them I.E. that they dabble in the occult, that the people who marry in are purchased, or they're connected to underground crime. The reality is just that they're a mess from generational trauma stemming from his great-grandmother.

Yuya was the second-youngest of the family, in training like everyone before him in music, tea making, hosting, everything entirely for running the teahouse. Was, until a year ago when a fire engulfed the Sakaki residence by the border of the forest overnight. The tragedy claimed the lives of everyone except Yuya, who had come out completely unscatched.

It didn't take long for a rumor to circulate that he was the one that did it.

By game start he's 16 and dropped out of school to work full time at the teahouse. He didn't have a lot (if any) friends beforehand, often sequestered to the house or the tearoom for training, and the weird rumors have just make him more distant. But he'll put on a cheerful and friendly face to anyone. It's what he was raised to do.

AU Plans: Yuya's here to be a normal if troubled teenager who's life is going to get very, very weird soon. Other than that I'm winging it. He's a complete AU so there's going to be no regains or weird memories here.

The teahouse will be an accessible spot with 1 new recent hire NPC because Yuya can't do this alone and also so people can be there without Yuya needing to.

Pre-established CR: Bruh throw anything at me I want all the pre-CR. There's still a lot of holes in this backstory since he's a full AU.

Name: Achsah
Contact: PM

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Akira
Canon: Togainu no Chi

Blurb:
Akira comes from a future dystopian post-war setting where he was raised in a military run orphanage, was experimented on as a child, and years later was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. He makes a deal to get out, then there's a lot of fighting, drugs, and romance~. At the end of the route I'm going with for canon point, he's a photographer traveling the world with his journalist boyfriend.

He's very emotionally distant and disengaged, to the point where he doesn't recognize the tiny amount of feelings he does experience and can't understand why people get excited over anything at all. ~~It took him five years to learn how to smile.~~ He's hard to hold a conversation with and doesn't talk a lot. Generally stoic and asocial, he's impolite and snappy sometimes, and kind of quietly recalcitrant. He can be frigid initially, and there won't be much of a quick thaw; a negative cr magnet as far as first impressions go.

Plans: None. Winging it like always.

→ AU INFO

AU Name: Michael Yamashita
(RNGed from a list of common Japanese surnames and picked the top American boys' name for the AU birth year. This is what I got.)

AU Blurb:
"Mike" was born in Vitae to lower-class parents. His mother just up and left when he was four years old, and he grew up with only his father around. Said father, we will call him Brian, worked long shifts at the convenience store and supplemented his income selling marijuana in the parking lot, which he grew at home in plastic buckets. His illegal activities progressed and resulted in several arrests. He was in and out of jail, and during those times, Mike stayed in the assisted living apartments, which irritated him greatly. Thus, he got emancipated at 16 and dropped out of school shortly after. He had a string of odd jobs and very temporary employment where he'd quit the majority of attempts at work once socialising became too much.

He's currently 24, lives in a shitty apartment by the occult shop, and works for a janitorial company. He cleans floors at night for several buildings like the supermarket, business center, the bank, and various stores in the mall. He's rarely seen during the day, usually sleeping or loitering around the downtown area; hangs out in the convenience store parking lot to smoke (cigarettes) sometimes and go through a few scratch offs. He carries around a 35mm camera and takes weird "artistic" photos of shit like sad weeds growing out of the sidewalk, and develops them in his tiny bathroom and never shows them to anyone.

His personality's basically the same, and I guess his hair is brown and not grey now. That's about it.

AU Plans: Shrug emoji. I'm open to all sorts of things!
Pre-established CR: Idek. Hit me with ideas if you want.

Oh my god an agent of chaos.

Hi, haki Leon is still a cop and would likely scream because it's out of his element. But I mean I would love cr all the same.

Maybe he knows about the disciplinary committee stuff lmk what u think

→ CHARACTER INFO

Name: Judai Yuki
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

Blurb: i'm weak and here is my good ygo boy. he's fun, he's dumb, and all he wants to do is duel. like he literally just wants to play this children's card game but then genocide starting happening?? because he couldn't find his boyfriend in another dimension?? then he got really depressed afterwards because, you know, he killed a bunch of people?? BUT IT'S FINE NOW he's now back to being super happy and a complete dumbass who doesn't question how card games can enable time travel. he just goes cool!! okay let's duel

Plans: i got nothing. i just want to play dumbass judai. am i going to give him an au? who knows. maybe not because he'd be that feral child who'd live out on the streets and be perfectly happy about it. he'd also be aghast that you can't solve problems in this world with game cards >:(

hi haki. this is ichi with a second character because i'm weak. anyway, would connor like to know his new lord and saviour, duel monsters?? judai will pester him until he agrees to play card games with him

i wish yuya would appear in duel links already so then judai could see au yuya and go oh no....................... you don't know about duel monsters anymore. i'm so sorry, i'll pray for you

i would like for "mike" and judai to meet consistently because judai is a bum who would break into the mall at night and sleep there. mike would need to mop over him to get work done

Slams fist to table the day Yuya is in duel links ~~probably in like September~~ is the day I finally update my damn game and play it. Only for my best boy.

come out soon yuya 🙏🙏🙏
anyway judai will bother yuya consistently until he agrees to learn and play duel monsters. he will not stop until yuya is converted

Bold of you to assume he wouldn't just ignore whichever store Judai's decided to sleep in those nights; who is this personal space invader...

I dont think it would be THAT bad for a cop to know about a high school's trouble with a troublemaker but I can definitely have rom prank him at some point because he ain't afraid of the popo

Ichi........ the weakness has gotten to you

Also damn holy shit he'd be like I like games but you're coming on waaaay too strong are you hitting on me

Please do it and make him sit on a woopie cushion or something

I'm absolutely down for things like pranks and minor inconveniences

It was like 5 am when I first read this post. Then I got more sleep , woke up, realized Gx was wild, and I wasn't crazy.

Leon is a sensible person but even he might be like ??????????? excuse me. Slow down.

In regards to card game murders, he'll take it seriously if only bc judai is serious about it. He won't laugh at the idea that card games are dangerous.

He can have an older adult figure to confide in if you need!

He'll pretend he's a ghost and ruin Leon's night shift

Leon would be freaking out over it so much

I encourage the ghostly wails at night and rom giving him a bad time

SOON!!

i enabled myself again.......

and god judai always comes on too strong. he likes winking at boys and comes on way too strong sometimes but he doesn't realize the romantic implications because he's an idiot

"are you hitting on me"
"no, i'm not even touching you?????"

JUDAI DOESNT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT he keeps his genocides to himself now. the only things that he now kills is the duel field

technically judai is also an adult because 18?? so they can be the ou adults who arrive in this world and try to help. also he's kind of like a police officer?? he goes around investigating spirits and chases down bad guys so they can police TOGETHER

> Oh my god I'm being courted by an idiot

LMFAO sounds like this cr is gonna be great

(sans voice) you're in for a bad time

oh shit man are you in trouble with the law? who courted you?? no worries i'll be your character witness ;)

BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR CR hehehe

wow judai notices that he's being ignored and just gets closer until mike pays attention to him

~~quits job #2784289 because someone looked at him~~
