The “responsible one,” Hakkai is often trying to help keep his group on task on their journey west. He is the driver, and often in charge of things like... making sure the group gets food, rest, and keeps on track. Despite this, he isn’t always the best a these tasks. He does enjoy his share of sideline events, such as sales at stores and the likes.
However, despite his appearance and his general friendly attitude, he is just as ruthless as the others in his party. And if irritated, he can even be terrifying.
It seems as though his life keeps getting thrown in strange directions - meeting a lot of interesting new characters, and wondering what exactly he’s done to deserve this amount of chaos. However, the moment he started hearing things like - “wow, i didn’t know you would associate with such people - “ Hakkai made a few choice decisions to throw his life into chaos. Moving closer to his newer friends, the ones that people were beginning to judge him for, and deciding to welcome the current “tides” life had thrown at him.
As a teacher, it has made his life a little more difficult. However, he has found very quickly that he rather enjoys just how different the others are. At least they’re not two-faced, like the people he’d been “friends” with before.
Tenpou’s verse! Still under construction - at least until I can finish his icons! And his portion in the bio.

@carnifcx continued from [ x ]
Kokichi laughs a little to himself as he stands out in the hall – his present in hand, and presented outright, for whenever the other happened to open the door. This was actually part of the reason he’d come in the morning! A devious little sneak he was, when it came to things like this, but? But he knew for a fact that the other had a hard time waking up in the morning. He was often drowsy for hours – and he thought that surprising him was the best chance he had to get the other to agree.
Especially when this was an earnest attempt on his part. The TRUTH he’d spoken aloud was that he wanted the two of them to be VALENTINES. That was true.
But given the obscurity of it & the silly manner in which he presented it? He doubted the other would take it seriously – which was fine. The LIAR didn’t have the real t i m e for anything like that. But? He thought it might be nice to humor his own feelings for once. Even if… they weren’t going to be presented properly. And he wouldn’t explain to the other that he meant it. He was sure his friend, the ULTIMATE DETECTIVE, would take it as a prank. And that was fine. “G’morning, buddy!” The tiny SUPREME LEADER chimes, laughing a little.
It was fun to fluster the other.
And here was his cue to begin doing so more – the moment the other looked… flustered, and tried to explain to him the holiday, Kokichi allowed himself to look confused followed by sad. Well trained tears beginning to well up in his expressive eyes. “Ah… oh.” Disappointment clear on his features. His shoulders slumping as he lowers the gift a little. “… I guess… that means you don’t want them then?”
He was a gremlin and he knew it. Manipulating the other even now with their established friendship. But, surely enough – If the other didn’t do some “damage control” of this situation, he was about to make a scene. Why? Because he cared. And this was how he treated his friends.
A member of the Future Foundation’s ( Sixth Branch ), he is part of the SCI. They’re job is to uncover the masterminds behind higher level crimes – serial killers, murder rings, and the likes. Things that are thriving because the world is in chaos, things that need to stop because they’re trying to fix the world. To that end, Takumi Hijirihara has been partnered up with Misaki Asano, and they’ve been doing their very best. ( However, on the other side of the coin – Hijirihara is also the infamous “KILLER KILLER.” A serial killer who specializes in copy-cat killing of famous deaths, and killing famous killers. )
Having witnessed a violent crime back in middle-school, Hijirihara was unable to move passed it. In fact? He became entirely obsessed with the beauty of the act – The splatter of blood, the light fading in their eyes, everything about it? Was elegant in a way that he couldn’t explain. Due to that? His found himself exhibiting some… violent tendencies.
Young, nerdy, and a bit of a pervert? He’s about an average middle school student. Of course, he’s a little more socially awkward then some – Certain habits of his are a little odd. But? You know what? Most people have learned to look past that about him. Or? They’ve learned to simply ignore him. Something he’s willing to live with. He is unaware of his fascination with blood or killers yet. So? All in all, he’s a pretty average kid.
In a world without Despair, Hijirihara has decided to pursue his interests in one of the only “socially acceptable” ways he could think of. Interested in blood and murder, he’s decided to become a detective. Specifically? A crime-scene analytical detective. It is one of the only things that could really helps his interests - And? A way he could still help society. He is odd, quiet, and most of the other detectives don’t really care for him … But? He is an accomplished detective. He is good at what he does. And? He’s got an amazing track record of catching those he goes after.
[ After all: He’s got a habit of tracking them by getting into their head - ‘if i were the killer? what would i do in this situation?’ ]
As the world was washed over with despair, and people reverted to acting in their own interests - Hijirihara watched the world. Watched it become over-run with chaos. Uninterested, yet - fascinated. As someone eventually came, trying to kill him, trying to steal from him, he killed them. It was easy. He’d been fascinated with murder since he was young, since he’d watched his classmates be murdered … And now? He lives a part of a world where he can do these things. Because, in a world of chaos. There isn’t anyone who can really stop him… is there?
Who he chooses to kill and why? Are wildly up in the air - But? Despite allowing himself to give into his temptations, he still primarily kills people who he feels deserve it. Giving him the haunting title of “KILLER KILLER.”
Hijirihara is a perfect example of why members of the FOLK try to hide what they are from humans – after all: Hijirihara washuman, until he ran into Mukuro Ikusaba. And? His fascination with her lead to obsession. He needed to become a member of the folk by any means necessary. And? The first chance he got – he allowed himself to be bit by a werewolf, and changed into one himself. ( Managing to kill a few humans by accident the day he changed – he had a natural violent streak in him, given his history, so? When he was told, he didn’t really seem to care. )
After this incident, because he was young, the Council didn’t want to “Blacklist” him – instead? They thought that he could do some learning under a long-time member of the Folk, one of their eldest, and the leader of Orsus. So? He was sent there to work under Juuzo as a member of the “police” of the island. ( And? Luckily for him? He was able to find the person he’d been looking for again! )
He has erratic transformations – he is unable to control it still, and often changes when he smells blood or gets irritated. However? At all times, he has his tail out. For some reason, after his first transformation, he’s never been able to hide it. And frankly? He doesn’t particularly care.
❝It can be really frightening I suppose.❞
WHERE WAS LIGHT, THERE WAS DARKNESS. But if one side triumphed, if one shadowed the other, all that negativity would continue to evolve and take deeper roots. That had been her case; sorrow, anger, bitterness, helplessness have all been emotions which devoured her heart, which made her resort to unsealing that abyssmal darkness which swallowed everything in its path. ❝You could say that the most terrifying thing was the emptiness which followed after. Once my anger quelled, once I could see clearer.. nothing which I had held any meaning. ❞ Pointless destruction. That pain was not solely inflicted on those who deserved, but innocence people had been affected; they suffered losses, their hearts cried out in pain. Death had never been beautiful for them, nor liberating. It stole what they held more precious. Allowing a heavy sigh of relief go past her lips, she raised her heard towards the sky. That clear blue was peaceful, serene and it calmed her soul. Her sins were hers to bear, nonetheless that experience still remained. The tough lesson Yuna received would forever be imprinted in her mind; its goods and bad had marked her. She was another person now. ❝The more you welcome darkness in your life, the more you seek it, the more it will consume you. You can say that was a lesson. As for what happened next.. well, those years were another form of darkness I confronted. ❞
It was surprising to hear those words from the other – but? Perhaps more so then anything, it was surprising to hear someone say something to eerily familiar to her own thoughts. She remembered everything she’d done while working for the IGA LEAGUE OF FIVE, she remembered betraying the team that welcomed her back nowadays… ( some more warily then others, but? that was fair. )
The NUMBNESS that follows when you get what you thought you wanted – was one of the most terrifying things in the world. It was like being adrift. Without a goal, without an anchor . . . for Anastasia, what followed numbness was p a i n. She was welcomed back, but? As a traitor. And the kindness granted her, with or without wanting it? Locked her down like shackles. That was why she was the “BRAVE of ICE” once again. And? After all this time, she was still a TRAITOR in some of their minds. And others have warmed up to her presence once more…
“… though I can understand how you felt to an extent, and I’m glad that it’s been a learning experience for you, I’m sorry that you felt that way to begin with.” Nothing was worse than feeling “EMPTY” – abandoned. In her life she’d felt that way several times. And somehow, people always reached out to her.
Even after she’d made mistakes. “Do you want to elaborate? You must want to talk… at least to an extent, to offer these words so willingly. I’m more than happy to hear you out, if you want to talk. Though I certainly don’t know if I can offer you any worthwhile advice.” Anastasia was similar – having a FROZEN HEART years before, due to her own person grudges and anger. And holding onto a HOPE she knew should have died. She’d tortured herself these ways, she knew the person who’d made the mistake was her. And? It’d consumed her for some time. However, she already had a history of being that “ODD WOMAN” according to Yuna… so at the very least, perhaps, she could hear her out.
The shinobi in charge of over-seeing the younger shinobi’s training, Chojirou is often very proud of those he has worked with. Trusting them and treating them as full-blown shinobi, the moment he believes they’re ready. He wants to give all of his companions a chance to prove themselves, and won’t deny them the opportunity.
However, he is a duty bound man - if given an order, he will try to complete it. Even if it destroys him.
Despite his obvious loyalties to the village, despite his dedication to Koga, he’s unable to bear the weight of his orders. He wanted to complete them, even if it destroyed him - he’s a shinobi. He shouldn’t have an opinion. He shouldn’t be able to argue or disagree with his orders, he knows that. And yet? With those orders pointing his blade towards his loved ones... he can’t.

@absortio
❖ ─ ━ ɩɴⅴеႽτɩնατοʀ Even though it wasn’t her business to ask, she was getting more concerned about his well being seeing him coming back with another injury from somewhere. She was told to stay back this time due to falling a bit behind on her reports so she had to catch up on them again. ❝Geezs, sometime along the line of how long we’ve been partners for, I’m going to lose count of how many times you walk in with injuries you know…. ❞ She sighed lightly as she walked up to him, doing a quick check if there were others. ❝I don’t know how you manage to get these wounds this time but I’m starting to get worried more about you. Let get these cleaned up before I can dress them, I should have a spare roll of bandages somewhere on my desk. ❞
To be entirely honest, Hijirihara couldn’t remember when exactly he decided to start relying on his partner more – even though he’d come to consider her a friend, there was a lot of risk in relying on her. He was a dangerous individual himself. He attracted danger, and? Well, to that end, he ended up like this. This was worse then some other times, but? It wasn’t life threatening.
He hadn’t needed help. He could have managed to bandage himself up – and yet, he’d found himself dragging his feet all the way to where he knew his partner would be. “… sorry.” Though apologizes weren’t usually a part of the awkward young man’s vocabulary, he found himself trying more. After all: He did feel bad that he worried her. . . “It’s not as bad as it looks, though?” He adds, his voice more of a question.
By comparison to how the “OTHER GUY” had looked, it wasn’t bad. Plus, some of the blood wasn’t his own…
And the other had been left hacked to pieces in the same manner that he’d left others. The other had liked to leave his victims with little humanity left – making it near impossible to identify them when found. He had done the same. As the KILLER KILLER, that was his signature. Unfortunately, however, he hadn’t accounted that the other might have a gun. Nothing about the others previous killings had hinted about the other using any sort of firearm…
“… should I start cleaning the wounds?” He asks, tilting his head ever-so-slightly at his partners comments. He could move towards the bathroom and wash himself up a bit if it would help, but somehow he felt she had a specific way she wanted him to take care of this.
patixntia:
❖ ─ ━ ɩɴⅴеႽτɩնατοʀ The only small response that came from her was a small pout. Honestly, it wasn’t his fault…it was just that she was half of the time gullible and most of the time takes everything a bit too seriously-joking or not. But she WAS serious when she said that to him afterall he does mean a lot to her there. ❝I…didn’t know it was a joke….. ❞ The blonde said shyly in response. To her, it was a bit embarrassing to bring out her timid side just a bit but it’s a fair game and she only just use her sketchpad that was on her side to just quietly place over her head there. ❝Maybe just a little….or it’s just me who can’t take a joke at times that’s all….. ❞ She just added in a small voice. Still though she meant every word of what was previously stated to him there, she wasn’t the type to leave someone unless they want to first plus if the bond she has with them is a good and strong one then she’ll stick to them like glue.
Hijirihara wasn’t the type to comfort people. In truth, he didn’t really know how – but? To see his partner begin to pout as she was, caused him to at least step forward. It was an awkward movement, his eyes looking confused.
He hadn’t meant to embarrass or worry her. He had thought he was being funny. Cynical humor, or at least that was the plan. But it appeared his particular brand of funny had only worked to concern her more. Oops. He should… probably practice how he delivered jokes from now on.
However, unsure of what to say, he just carefully lifts his hand – ruffling his partners hair just a little.
“I’m sorry.” He wasn’t very good at communication. He didn’t know how to explain that he was a little… off-beat when it came to jokes. And he wasn’t very good at explaining that, like her, he cared and wanted her to be okay. “… you are fine. We just both have some practice to do, it seems.”
[ Contains spoilers for NDRV3 ]
This is the verse that will be used for canon timeline / killing game variation threads! So, anything that happens within the game – whether we keep it to its canon or make a variation of it? Will likely be tagged with this one! However, due to the newness of the game? I intend to leave this purposely vague for now. Once I’m satisfied that most people have played/watched the game? I shall update this a little more properly! But, basically speaking? If they’re within one of the “KILLING GAMES,” I shall be using this tag!
A despair-less verse of the nerds going to Hope’s Peak Academy, rather than the Academy for Gifted Inmates – somewhat based off “Talent Development Plan” extra, at the end of NDRV3. In this verse, he will be going to class with the other students from his game.
Recruited for his talent (which I do know, but I will not name for now - just to keep people from being spoiled! ) along with the others from his class, he is a very busy fella – a bit of a traveler, he often disappears from classes for weeks at a time. To the point of the class sort of just expecting that his attendance is going to be… spotty at best. He doesn’t always open up to people, leaving himself a bit of a mystery to most, but? He’s always willing to help out if asked, and does his best to be someone his class can rely on.
The newest reincarnation of “Rantaro”, this young phoenix has decided “new life, new start,” and only recently moved to Orsus – to the point of really not having met any of his neighbors yet, because he’s still busy unpacking all of the things he decided to bring along.
Having decided to move there suddenly, he’s not entirely used to the area yet – let alone the people he’s around. Being a phoenix, he’s “immortal.” Or, at the very least, his body is? Every time his body “restarts,” or bursts into flames and returns, they don’t keep their memories… This is part of the reason he left. Having witness the death of a member of his family, and then their rebirth? He couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness at the loss of this “stranger,” that his body somehow recognized, even if he didn’t – not willing to go through that again? He had to leave his family behind. This way, he could truthfully have a fresh start.
Rantaro, despite being a phoenix, has no control over fire. Instead – this incarnation’s powers have all been poured into his natural healing ability. Due to that, he’s begun working at the clinic on Orsus. ( He can, however, bring out his wings if he tries had enough. He can even turn entirely into his “bird-like” form. ) He has no visible tells, due to the rarity of his species.
Working to try to revive the Ox King, Gyumaoh, Doctor Ni Jianyi is helping with the very taboo experiments necessary to mix magic and science together. He is modern science’s first biological engineer and a very playful man. To the point of often annoying those who work with him... but he cares very little.
In this verse he only goes by “Ni Jianyi” and will not respond to Ukoku Sanzo.
Traveling around as “Priest” Ukoku Sanzo again, he’s decided to take some direct action on his own - this is the events of Saiyuki Reload, the Manga, when he continues to run into Hazel from time to time to manipulate events and cause him to respond certain ways. He is a trouble maker and is attempting to manipulate events to that they favor him... how will it end?
Before the “Light” died out of his life. Despite not being a wonderful priest, and never being properly chosen for the scripture he now carries, he at least does a good job helping out wherever he chooses to go. He’s a bit of a loose canon, and is very dangerous... but he’s known to hop from place to place, based on his interests at the time.
Competitive and charming, Gakushuu is well-liked among his class - Even if he and his father are, somewhat, eerily similar. He is charismatic, charming, and will pull all the stops to win when he finds himself in a position to compete. However? He does have an honor code - And is only willing to go so far, unlike the Headmaster.
However? He does not have a high opinion of those in the “End Class.” As that is the nature of their schools system, he - like so many of the others, treated them like lesser students. But? As things continue to play out, he is beginning to recognize them as genuine rivals.
Ether by a string of bad luck or out of an attempt to drive out the hidden force behind Class 3-E, he’s suddenly found himself being welcomed into the “END CLASS.”
And? Despite having gotten himself there … He is absolutely baffled by what he finds. Sure. He had expected an exceptional teacher. Clearly! But… I don’t think any amount of resolve could have helped him expect what he found when he arrived.
AU Collaberation with [ @carnifcx ]. Engaged to her Nagisa Shiota, in this verse!
The only prince born to his father, the king, it was seen as very important that he immediately marry. And? As soon as his father found him a suitor he deemed … well, suiting, he arranged the marriage without any more prior notice. This could be… troubling. Especially because his father, the kind, and the mother of the “bride”… seem to get along far too well…
