				<strong>Kagetori (鍵門 Gate Key), Saori (沙織, Sand Weaver)<br></strong> (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XxlxZiTQ_iT8NQ2u_Nv21jpraUCzH6M1hGTRFbZ1gGI/edit)<br><br>Mr. Kagetori is a high level businessman who partially attributes his success to his continued interest in the liberal arts.&nbsp; Mrs. Kagetori taught high school literature before marriage and--after her youngest son turned 9--went back to work.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Saori is the middle child and only daughter.&nbsp; She was always very intelligent and diverse in her interests.&nbsp; At around age twelve she started growing frustrated with her anime.&nbsp; She felt that--while she loved the fantasy--it didn't challenge her mind.&nbsp; She complained about is to her father at breakfast and they spent almost an hour talking about it.&nbsp; He was nearly late to work.&nbsp; When he got back that evening--almost late for dinner--he had an extra briefcase full of the manga he read at her age.&nbsp; Action packed science fiction--sometimes a lot more brutal than most of the modern stuff--but from a time when authors had a great deal more control over their published work--especially their anime.&nbsp; They started with Battle Angel, reading together, and Saori figured it out within an hour.&nbsp; "Wait a minute...&nbsp; Dad, Alita wasn't acting like this last issue...&nbsp; Her attitude is changing every time she gets a new body."&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; A few nights later, "Her attitude changes but her core personality is the same."&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Her dad grinned, "We'll do Ghost In The Shell next."&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Thought provoking science fiction reshaped Saori's life.&nbsp; By the time she was fifteen she'd begun studying the symbiology behind the Tarot and the I Ching.&nbsp; To this day she claims that reading Battle Angel Alita with her father made her want to become a fortune teller.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Having come to a NATO island to attend university, Saori is studying under a humanities professor who wrote a book about the I Ching. Saori is popular in the dorms for her fortune telling.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Saori is a skeptic about religion and magic.&nbsp; "Fortune telling is is two parts psychology and three parts spiritual consideration of the myths and legends that shaped your fortune telling tool.&nbsp; I don't read palms or tea leaves. They don't have enough mythic power for me.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; "Sometimes, immersed in millennia of symbolism and using it to help people understand themselves, I feel like I'm working magic.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; "I want to believe."

				Chryseis "Crisis" Red-Skies <br><br>Crisis is young, Native American woman from the United States.&nbsp; Five years ago, she came home from school to find her father, a professor of paleontology, arguing with his longtime colleague and confidant, Fausto Prial, over a pair of ancient artifacts.&nbsp; Before she could get any details or even make her presence known, Prial killed him and took one of the artifacts.&nbsp; Crisis managed to swipe the other one, a rapier with a guard resembling a stylized mask, before Prial could even touch it.&nbsp; She promptly ran off and hid, and by the time she was found again Prial had vanished without a trace.<br><br>Unsatisfied with how the police was handling the investigation, Crisis took to the streets to track down Prial herself.&nbsp; Unfortunately, she got involved in local gang warfare.&nbsp; She wound up amassing a large territory and following, then used that influence to divert the gang's efforts from territorial conflicts to activism and community outreach.&nbsp; While they weren't necessarily effective in these efforts, she made sure they were at least well-educated.<br><br>Enter Jedidiah "Old Man" Oldman, GARD military commander and part-time occult investigator, was on an unrelated investigation that took him into the heart of Crisis' territory.&nbsp; Crisis returned to the gang's secret hangout to find Oldman standing over her knocked out subordinates.&nbsp; The two had a long, epic battle that ended in a draw.&nbsp; As it turned out, Oldman knew her father and recognized her sword.&nbsp; After that, Crisis became Oldman's apprentice, and he eventually sent her to university at Unity City... But not merely for her education...

				Sakuya Hanamiya (https://docs.google.com/document/d/12AiLcnN00HdQggu-LZ4jfdmKOhMg23D4DdaRRQ_F7Qs/edit?usp=sharing)<br><br>The garden was tranquil in the mornings, especially with the gentle rays of the morning sun providing light for the plants. A young woman attended to the plants, like how she did every day. The sight of the blooming flowers gave comfort to her.<br><br><hr><br><tt class="bbc_tt">"Pleased to meet you! My name is Sakuya Hanamiya... I hope we can be good friends!" the young girl introduced herself in class at elementary school. She had transferred to the town due to her parent's work and was still adjusting to the new environment.</tt><br><br><hr><br>The young woman dug a hole on an empty spot in the flower bed before turning to pick a plant out of its pot together with the soil. She carefully settled the plant in and gathered the soil together with her gloved hands, patting them down gently to make sure the plant was transplanted properly.<br><br><hr><br><tt class="bbc_tt">CRASH<br><br>"Oh, sorry about that. Didn't notice you were passing by!" the boy said without even looking, bumping into Sakuya and sending a vase full of flowers she raised and picked that day to spill on the floor. Other students did not pay her any heed as she got to her knees and picked up the shattered vase and the flowers.<br><br>A few months later, Sakuya's parents have requested for her leave from the school. They have found their daughter become more withdrawn during the months but could not convince the school to deal with the matter, resorting to hiring a private teacher to handle the girl's studies until junior high.<br><br>They have hired another teacher when they finally moved to a new location to continue their work.</tt><br><br><hr><br>Taking off the gloves and her hat, Sakuya looked herself in the mirror. She rarely ventured outside their home on her own. It was often with the presence of her parents or a guardian trusted by her parents. She wanted to be like the others, being able to go out by herself. She mustered the courage to bring it up with her parents on how she could manage to go to school on her own.<br><br>Over the period of several months she was helped by her parents to slowly adjust. Until finally she was able to manage going to school without anyone accompanying her. She still had some trouble communicating with others, but Sakuya hoped that someday she could grow out of her shell and accomplish that.

				Naruka Minami<br><br>Character Sheet Link (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TdNnsaXV2pD9x-HY3VD1ECsnfAedBfxHI3wC1U5lnac/edit?usp=sharing)<br><br>Naruka considered herself many things: an engineer, a skeptic, a hard worker, a woman in a hard science field that was often filled to the brim with many, <em>many</em> nerdy men. What she did <em>not</em> consider herself was 'fun.' Or 'exciting.' Or, for that matter, the 'life of the party.' She had worked damn hard to get her scholarship to the university and worked doubly hard to earn this internship. She was going to get her degree in electrical engineering with a 4.0 GPA even if it killed her. She had more important things to worry about than attending whatever get-togethers were planned by her peers. Karaoke and drinks could wait until AFTER she graduated.<br><br>The fact that nobody seemed to invite her out for a girl's night out (or heaven forbid a <em>date</em>) did not trouble her in the slightest. Absolutely not. Anybody who said otherwise was lying.<br><br>That didn't mean she wasn't popular in her own weird way. A lot of her fellow students pestered her for help whenever they needed help studying or on homework for whichever engineering project they were working on. Her knack for tinkering with electronics and never getting shocked had earned her the ironic <em>nom de guerre</em> 'Narukami,' which she found only mildly annoying. Mostly because she'd long since relegated things like gods, spirits, and sorcery to the realm of middle-school delusions, occult weirdos, and <em>isekai</em> novelists. All of whom could be grouped under the sub-heading of 'morons' and neatly filed away.<br><br>Naruka was a woman of science, reason, and logic. Magic wasn't real.<br><br>Right?

				<span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><em>Tai Yousuke </em></span><br><br>Character Sheet (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I_YbO2CmVjOEM8VFIx9opz255k8Ar5PKNJB-i9UoMqQ/edit)<br><br>Tai was a bright kid growing up. He excelled at sports, got decent grades, and generally got along well with everyone, a star student some would say. However with talent came expectations, and with expectations came pressure. The adults in Tai's life saw his potential, and did everything they could to ensure he made use of it, enrolling him in school programs, sports teams, extra curriculars, you name it. While Tai was never particularly enthusiastic about any of these things, he still excelled at them, and so mistaking his talent for passion his parents always pushed him to keep going and commit no matter what. It wasn't until late high school that the stress and pressure of it all really started to get to him. He found himself increasingly stressed and anxious, borderline depressed. He didn't take any joy in what he was doing, but his parents' "no quit" mentality was so heavily drilled into him that he couldn't bring himself to just drop out. <br><br>It was then that Tai discovered his first true passion: fashion, specifically crossdressing and cosplay. He stumbled upon it online, and was so taken by it that he began secretly dressing up himself. Over time he started posting pictures and videos of himself online, creating the online persona "T-Chan", becoming more and more bold in how he expressed himself. It ended up becoming a form of stress relief, his escape from the strict, rigid life he was stuck in. Whenever he was stressed, whenever the pressure was getting to him, there was comfort in knowing he could just throw on a wig and some make up and goof off pretending to be a ditzy gyaru on camera. He didn't have to worry about competing for something, he didn't have to be fast or smart or push himself, there weren't any expectations to live up to. He could just have fun. Eventually his following grew to the point were people at school started recognizing him, exposing him to the public. However instead of feeling ashamed of his secret he actually embraced it even further, taking advantage of his exposure to come out and start openly crossdressing in public, embracing it as part of his identity. <br><br>Currently Tai is attending university on a sports scholarship (might as well make use of all those years of practice right?), though majors in fashion and business. He's the current ace of the football team, a position he takes very seriously, while also still making content online, having considerably grown his following after graduating highschool. Of course it's a lot to balance all at once, and he couldn't imagine suddenly having even more responsibility thrust upon him...though at least he has experience living a double life, right?

				Quinn Griffith (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dLBce2L5uRUJoF_5oMH7YKKRVd9hJGnYAtBWZGeV3mM/edit?pli=1)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">WIP</div><div class="spoiler_body">Quinn Griffith a.k.a. Griffquinn a.k.a. Quinnie Di, a.k.a. Quinzel, and a number of other monikers across the internet, was born to Dr. Sean and Caetlyn Griffth.&nbsp; Her father's PhD was in advanced robotics and artificial intelligence, while her mother was a renown author.&nbsp; While both of her parents had demanding careers, Quinn was raised with love, if not a ton of attention.&nbsp; Perhaps that was why Quinn loved the spotlight as much as she does. A creative, talented, and charismatic individual.&nbsp; Quinn began her first social media channel at the age of thirteen.&nbsp; The channel focused primarily upon DIY crafts and fabrications, and over time grew into a go-to guide for certain cosplay tips.&nbsp; At fifteen, Quinn expanded on her channel and began giving makeup and fashion tips and reviews.&nbsp; A year later, she joined a new platform and began producing music.&nbsp; She performed both original songs which she wrote, as well as covers of those that were more popular and mainstream.&nbsp; After turning eighteen, she joined yet another platform which allowed her to model her various costumes, and day-to-day attire. <br><br>While talent, creativity, and charm can account for the majority of her success, Quinn is also lucky in the fact that her father created for her a self-sentient remote drone which she calls QT7, and uses as a highly portable cameraman.&nbsp; The video it produces gives her an edge over the competition, and the robot's programming allows it to review every comment and like posted on Quinn's channels to help improve her videos.&nbsp; Considering that much of her audience are fanboys who simply tune in to ogle and drool, QT has developed some peculiar habits.</div></div>
