→ 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.
