Fire Emblem on Forums: Demon Soul Saga

[Game Theme ~liveDevil~]

Since time immemorial, the inner demons of humans have lurked within the depths of human minds. With the corruptive power of an Akuma Seed bestowed by the demonic Rakshasa, these inner demons are brought out, turning a human into an Akuma. Humans have lived in fear against the Akuma in the shadows and fought against them with their best efforts, but only the Kaijin, humans who have confronted their inner demon and have tamed it for their own use, can truly match them.

The year is 2023, and the new year at Our Lady of Hermelin High School has begun. Situated in the newly built Mishima Economic District, the school is world-class, with transfer students and wealthy students bumping shoulders with locals from the Mishima District, moving into the area to pursue the opportunities of a new world, whether it is in the large entertainment district, the many services offered in Mishima District, or the business district trading with countries around the world. Under that glitzy exterior, however, is a dark secret; Akuma attacks have increased in frequency, and only the rumours of heroic Kaijin in the shadows keep them back from the people of Mishima. There are further rumours of the beings called Rakshasa appearing, turning humans into Akuma to sow chaos upon Japan, and beings called Kaijin, benevolent Akuma that can fight back, but surely such rumours are ridiculous, correct?

Seven students from Hermelin will be bound together by destiny, drawn into the fight against the Akuma, and with the strength of their bonds, maybe even expose the truth and attain justice for all.

Welcome to Fire Emblem on Forums: Demon Soul Saga!

Spoiler: Who are you? (click to show/hide)

You are a student of Our Lady of Hermelin High School in a fictional city of Japan, the Mishima Economic District. After an attack by a mysterious Rakshasa, you gain the power to transform into a Kaijin, a powerful demon embodying your very soul, to fight against the Akuma to protect your fellow students.

(OOC Note: Do not worry about overlap or what best fits the party. I care more about if your character is interesting. Being the sole representative of a damage type is not a guarantee of getting in.)

We'll be using the calculations and non-class/weapon mechanics from Player's Handbook 2.3.2 unless otherwise noted. We will also be using my personal supplement for similar reasons, which is linked here and the Freeform Character Building supplement, which is explained in the Important Data Files.

Spoiler: Rules Changes (click to show/hide)

- Progression caps on non-HP stats can be conditionally increased up to a total of 100% and to a minimum of 0% depending on GM discretion.
- There is no permadeath in Demon Soul Saga; downed allies will remain on the map until pulled up.
- Stillness, Nullify, Nullify+, Taunt, Discipline, Weapon Saver, Savior, and Provoke are not available.
- For every 10% growths put into both STR and MAG, you gain 5% growths to put into other stats, capped at an extra 35%. Maturity and other Skills that affect Growths, as well as the Ascension increase, do not count towards the 20% for this rule.
- Weapons and equipment outside of the Items List do not exist; instead, you will follow the Spells List mechanics.

In addition, Threat Attacks, Great Monsters, Press Turns, Talk, Elemental Affinities and Life Points are in play.
- Threat Attacks: Powerful attacks that hit multiple tiles, triggered by attracting the attention of the attacker. Threat Attacks are marked with red squares over the tiles that will be hit and will activate one turn after they are triggered.
- Great Monsters: Monsters that occupy more than one tile, have massive HP counts and have Threat Attacks of their own. They reward large amounts of EXP for defeating them.
- Talk: Certain marked enemies will have the option to be Talked to, which grants the talker items or EXP. If an enemy is made to leave the map through Talk, EXP will be gained as if the enemy was defeated through combat. Some enemies can be Talked to after certain conditions are fulfilled, but enemies that are attacked while Talk is enabled for them will no longer accept being Talked to. Furthermore, certain enemies will be weakened when Talked to.
- Elemental Affinities: Enemies and players alike have Elemental Affinities, allowing them to resist or take extra damage from different types of elemental or physical attacks.
- Life Points: Certain enemies will have Life Points, which allow them to be healed completely upon being reduced to 0 HP at the cost of that point. Life Point expenditure cancels all Threat Attacks launched by the wielder that have yet to land.
- Press Turns: Certain bosses will have multiple moves per Phase. Depleting a Life Point destroys all of their Press Turns for that Phase and if Talk is used correctly Press Turn points can be reduced.

Bio:
The illegitimate son of struggling politician Mitsuaki Demura's wife, raised as their own in an attempt to avoid scandal. The Demuras were previously an influential dynasty in Kaname-Cho's local-level politics (Mitsuaki's father, Masashi Demura, held the office of mayor for 36 years), but have struggled in the face of the demographic shifts of the Mishima District, and the Mishima Corporation's own political influence.

Masaru's family wasn't unloving per se (besides his stepfather, of course, as much as he tried to grin and bear him), but they never expected him to amount to much. His extended family quietly saw him as a minor inconvenience to their already-failing ambitions, and though his mother supported him, she nonetheless preferred that he quietly pass through a normal life. And yet, he idolized the men of the Demura name, especially the late Masashi, and felt that, blood or no, his family was still the Demuras. Knowing the influence that they once held, he simply couldn't leave himself out of it. If blood would not suffice, then surely the sweat and tears would do.

And so, since he entered secondary school, Masaru has engaged in a nearly-ascetic lifestyle for the sake of self-improvement. He has dedicated as much time as he can to studies, serving the student council (currently as treasurer, but with aims for president next year), practicing public speech, maintaining relative fitness, and even more studying. All of this would be part of his eventual effort to become the first Demura mayor in decades, both revitalizing the dynasty, and integrating himself into it.

He takes every opportunity he can find to elevate himself in the eyes of others through his achievements... which, ironically, has made it very difficult for most others to tolerate his boastfulness. This, combined with his short fuse whenever his qualifications are put into doubt, has frustrated his every attempt to gain the admiration of others.

[Lucus Casius]

Alright, posting to watch this, and probably to make a character.  I've been wanting to throw together a more performance-oriented sort for a while.

So it's about time I made a high-school idol.  Who can kick the crud outta demons.  But who, more importantly, can sing and dance her heart out.

Bio: Up-and-coming starlet and center for the idol group Coral ☆ Light, Suzuki Aika is one of the most popular young celebrities in the booming Mishima District.  Driven, hard-working, and ambitious, the recent rise in interest towards her group have granted Aika and the other members of Coral ☆ Light several notable appearances on local radio shows and earned them a number of gigs starring in commercials for the many new businesses popping up as a result of investment in the Economic District, and she makes no secret of her desire to gain further accolades and even nationwide appreciation as an idol.  But this is not to say that Aika's popularity is due simply to her ambition or her ubiquity.  Nor does it necessarily stem from her talent for the stage, though between her lovely, distinctive singing voice and natural grace as a dancer and actor she has plenty of that to spare. On the contrary; her popularity is a result of who she is and who she tries to be.  It comes from her desire not just to further her own career, but to bring her friends up with her, and work together to improve themselves as a team.  It comes from her very real love for what she does, from the energy and dedication she puts into every act and the genuine smile she has for every fan.  And it comes from a good heart that seeks to shine through in everything she does, driving her to go out of her way to lend a helping hand or shoulder of support, driving her to bring some measure of joy into the lives of everyone she meets.

Of course, it wasn't always like this. 

When Aika first moved to Kaname-cho from Tokushima, she was a very different person from the one she would become only a few years later.  Only twelve years old and still recovering from the untimely death of her mother after a prolonged illness--her father having walked out on them when she was too young to remember him--the initial year living with her grandmother in the then-still-fairly-rural town was difficult for her.  Intensely shy and withdrawn, she was ostracized by others her own age, with no friends to speak of and no hobbies which might have helped her bridge that gap.  Outside of going to class, then, she was left in an increasingly worrisome seclusion, with only television, manga, and the various chores that her grandmother assigned her as distractions.

It was largely serendipity that managed to pull her out of it while listlessly assisting her grandmother in repairing a neighbor's work clothes, as her grandmother often did in return for small favors or a bit of extra spending money.  It was normal for Aika's grandmother to listen to radio shows while she worked, claiming it helped keep her mind on task, and it was no different on that day.  The only thing unusual were the interview guests the host had on for the evening--a then up-and-coming idol group calling themselves Afternoon.  Normally, Aika would have paid it no mind, but something in the tone of the group's center caught her attention.  And her speech discussing the work of the group, how it felt to be up on stage, singing and dancing to inspire and bring joy to others somehow managed to strike a chord with her, though at the time Aika wasn't sure why.  At the time, all she knew was that they seemed interesting, and she wanted to see them and hear them sing.

And when Aika finally saved up enough to see one of their shows in a city in the adjacent prefecture, she was inspired.  She saw the joy in their dancing, heard it in their song, and felt it in herself.  She began to understand, then, what it meant--and what Fuuka Yagami's words had meant to her.

She returned home with a renewed energy after that.  She began to work harder.  She began to speak more in school.  She began to reach out and engage more with others of her age and, with the support of a few kind peers like her classmate Akitsuki Saya, gradually broke through the previous impressions of her as an odd loner.  She began to make true friends, forming a particularly tight bond with [REDACTED] over their shared taste in manga and love of karaoke, and who along with [REDACTED] would help form the core of Coral ☆ Light.  She began to practice, learning to play an instrument, learning to sing, learning to dance, applying herself in every way she could...

And, with the new life brought by the building of the Mishima economic district, she finally had her break.  And she'll continue to do her best to take the lessons she learned on her way here to heart, and to inspire others as best as she can in turn.

Bio: Born in Shenzhen, China, Kai'an Huá was raised with the finest tutors and high expectations from her family. Her friends were all of high society, her father Kai'an Jīnzi working as one of Tencent's Management and her mother Hanabi a socialite and college professor. Indeed for most of her life, she would be considered a golden child, talented beyond belief. But at the core of this is someone who doesn't want to let her parent's expectations down, who spends most of her free time studying, except during those parties her mother organized.

One of the main reasons she applied to Our Lady of Hermelin High School was the weight of those expectations. And something within her heart to get out from under the constant pressures(not that she acknowledges it). She took some quiet pleasure in going to the entertainment district with others. Though within Hermelin High remains one of the top students. She's still unsure which club to join and does not yet have anyone she' would consider a close friend. So she still spends far too much time studying, this time to improve her grasp of Japanese and writing back to her few close friends in China.

Bio: Aldith was and still remains a resident of the Old Dock District, previously known at a younger age for being mischievous and troublesome, always a tad too happy to get himself into situations that obviously weren't fit for him...which sometimes led into fighting other kids from the block. That attitude of his hasn't change -that- much since then, at least the part of getting himself into trouble too often, but now instead of being energetic or mischievous, he was just...Indifferent about most of things, especially after putting up with so many bothersome things during his school days-Especially teachers who weren't very pleased with his attitude. Sure...he was able to get the grades necessary to pass, but his attitude was still the kind that was more than enough to infuriate some of the teachers he had back then-And the fights he also got himself into during the breaks probably didn't help either. Even then, he still managed to get himself in a good high school, for the surprise of his colleges and for the frustration of his teachers. Even in a completely different place, some folks already knew him from the streets, so for the better or for the worst, there were those aware he was a delinquent...So even if he tried to behave in classes for the sake of getting this done with as soon as possible, it wasn't out of ordinary to end up getting himself into a fight or two outside the classroom, mostly with people from different turfs wanting to pick a fight with someone from the Old Dock District.

The -one- thing that did change about his for the most part indifferent and bored behavior was his reasons for getting himself into fights; instead of just being more a turf-related thing or other delinquents wanting to fight him for no good reason, Aldith was now picking up fights with jocks and any sort of student who wanted to pick on the folks who couldn't fight back properly. But while it was a 'noble cause', there was a secondary interest behind helping them; receiving their help with his own studies. Finding some smart students willing to give him some tutoring was really useful for someone like him, considering he wasn't -that- bright and he knew that. So might as well arrange some sort of deal with the nerds to make sure he wasn't going to fail his grades, right? It wasn't like he was going to 'lose' popularity hanging out with them, considering the reputation he already had, he had nothing to lose.

Bio:

Mori Sawatari is the quarter American son of the Japanese American owner of an import/export business. He grew up traveling between Japan and the US, and gained an interest in theater from watching Broadway shows with his family. When he entered high school, his family sent him to Our Lady of Hermelin. There, he became a high ranking member of the popular crowd, with a personality to match. Athletes and hangers on follow his orders, in the hopes of benefits, but few students truly like him. Despite putting on little effort, he maintains straight A grades and high exam scores, thanks to the expensive tutoring his parents provided for him.

This is the story the world believes about Mori Sawatari.

After all, this is the story he wants them to believe.

Mori Sawatari is the quarter American son of a former Kabuki actor and an artist who creates and sells Kabuki and Noh masks. When was born in Kaname-cho, his family was already struggling. His father, though still acting, was no longer turning a significant profit due to new entertainment options brought by the Mishima Corporation, and the fact that the theater his group had long called home had been bought by the Mishima Corporation and changed into a club. His mother’s family created Bunraku Puppets, along with Kabuki and Noh masks, but now most of their sales were merely to tourists looking for interesting souvenirs. When Mori’s mother became pregnant with twins, the family’s economic situation became more dire. Mori’s father had to leave the theater and take a job working for the Mishima Corporation, while his mother had to spend less time on her work and more taking care of the family. This upbringing gave Mori two things, an adoration and talent for theater, in all its shapes and forms, and a strong desire to turn the unfair world where the rich and powerful could completely ruin the dreams and lives of those beneath them without any care or suffering of their own on it’s head.

Entering middle school, and his first time attending school in Mishima rather than Kaname-cho, Mori took to using his talents as an actor to attempt to go about doing something about the circumstances he despised. Creating a false history and personality for himself as the spoiled son of a rich family, Mori went about turning his false power into true power by attracting sycophants and hangers on, creating a self perpetuating lie that granted him the power to change things on a wider scale, including decreasing the rate of bullying, shifting the target of what was left to those who deserved it, such as other bullies, using his ability for deception and manipulation to leave  the bullies at the school a self containing problem, all while increasing his influence and power as no one suspected him, all while working to maintain straight As so he could enter a good school and work to support his family.

Arriving at Hermelin, Mori began living in the dorms, so his parents would not have to spend money caring for him at home. His talents lead to gaining a position as president of the theater club, and his influence grew. Inspired by the actions of Kasuga Akihiko, which he had learned of from the athletes who Akihiko had stopped, Mori began using his power to cause bullying incidents to backfire, all the while putting on an act of anger at their failures. He also sometimes used his position to covertly fulfill some requests left to the Helper Club. When he saw how harshly Akihiko's reputation was effected by what he'd done, he may or may not have leaked some information on how Akihiko had done the right thing. While he regrets that his entire life is a lie, he strongly believes that his own happiness is secondary to his goal of creating a world where his family doesn’t need to suffer the whims of their social “betters”. With a talent for putting on faces, and understanding how to manipulate and deceive people, Mori stands as a man appearing to stand amongst the high class, while truly puppeteering their downfall.

Bio: Born and raised in Ibaraki located in the prefecture of the same name, Yui had an unspectacular youth, a single child whose mother passed away soon after birth. She diligently helped in the household after school and only made few friends due to her limited spare time, but life was overall good. Until her father made a mistake. He met with the wrong crowd and amassed some debt. Minor amounts, as it seemed at first glance, but Yui found out about it soon and realized immediately that the conditions were unfavorable, leading to her talking about it with her father. He only said "Do not worry, child", and all the bravery she mustered vanished in an instant, only nodding and pretending that everything would turn out good.

A year later, her father packed Yui's material possessions and stated that he made arrangements for her to move to her aunt in Kaname-cho, enrolling to high school in that area. Once more, Yui could only nod and pretend everything would turn out good. Thus, armed with two travelling cases and a truck delivering her other belongings later, she stepped into a new life with a heavy heart. Her room was smaller, or at least it felt like that, but her aunt was an always-smiling gentle woman who assisted Yui with getting accustomed to her new environment. Whenever Yui offered assistance in the household, her aunt usually rejects the help, highlighting that a child should be a child. It was hard for her to fight against her aunt's stubbornness, so she gained more spare time than she could handle for the first time in her life. Spare time that was often spent with aimless walks, or reading manga books in her room.

Still getting used to the new environment, especially the more urban aspects of the Mishima Districts, made her outsider nature obvious after she enrolled in Our Lady of Hermelin High School, gentle teasing and her general inexperience with socializing making it hard for her to find friends. If anything, it made it easier to garner the attention of foes, a bunch of students participating in the football team in her case, letting their teasing go beyond the "gentle" part. She still was unable to speak up properly against it, having made a single request towards Akitsuki, the leader of the Helper's Club, and otherwise silently enduring it only to arrive home with exhausted, blank eyes. Until, one day, the bullying stopped. Yui never figured out why, but she didn't question it. After all, something finally went well for her and she definitely doesn't want to spoil that bright moment in life.

Now in her second year, she made a few friends and she generally has settled in, even if some aspects still are troublesome for her. But, it seems, her "country mouse" status is no longer seen as a burden. Occasionally gifting her classmates self-made bentos on special occasions also definitely helped with accepting her. But the letters of her father have become more infrequent, the last one having been two months ago. And of course, even she heard of the Akuma incidents. In fact, she has been in the direct vicinity of one such attack, a potential victim of it if not for the appearance of a person in white-clad armor saving her and others. Like many others, she was unable to find out anything about the mysterious White Knight of Mishima, but she felt safe knowing that they really exist. At the very least, from that point on, looking at the small White Knight doll that is now dangling around attached to her school bag since that incident makes her feel at ease.

Another day at Hermelin begins.

Backstory: Misa was not born from a poor family, or even a only moderately wealthy family, but she was born from a mother who married a man her mother's parents did not approve of, which has brought plenty of its own troubles to her life. Despite her families wealth, this disapproval has filtered down to Misa in varied ways ever since she was old enough to be aware of it. The family competition to be the primary heir was fierce, and her birth not only put her at a disadvantage from the start, but also made her an easy target for any of her cousins to win points from her grandparents on.

It was under these pressures, the omnipresent judging presence of her ancestors and family, that Misa retreated into fairy tales as a shelter from the weight of disapproval she was born to. This of course merely lead to further scorn from the majority of her family, besides her parents, as they mocked her for retreating into 'useless stories'. Still, Misa persisted in one of the few things that truly brought her joy in life, fueled by the times when her mother or father would read her bed time stories when she was very young, and even the continued disapproval of her extended family could not break her simple joy in such tales and the bright dreams they gave her.

Thus there was an uneasy stasis for Misa, with her ground down but not broken, that would only be ended when her parents took the chance to move away from her mother's extended family to the Mishima District. Here, while she lives in a simpler house, Misa is finding herself living without the omnipresent pressure and disapproval she is used to living under for the first time. Still, she remains withdrawn, retreated into the land of stories, as only time can heal the emotional wounds of her youth... But despite her withdrawn demeanor the dreams sown so long by the stories she has read still shine brightly within her heart, and they may yet blossom into marvel.

Bio: Mildred is one quarter Japanese - though you wouldn't know to look at her, given her rather large size for a woman and all-American blonde hair and blue eyes (the shape of which carry the only real hint of her mixed ancestry, which according to her 'can be traced all the way back to Tadakatsu'). Although she was born in the US, she moved to Japan at a young age with her father when her parents divorced. It was a somewhat messy affair that left the young girl without a maternal figure, and her father raised her the best he could. His being a mechanic meant she spent a lot of time in his workshop after school, and would often disregard her studies to help him out.

This developed into a natural love of vehicles and mechanical work that her father only encouraged in her (treating her like the son he never had) and, upon hitting high school, extremely tomboyish delinquency. To fit in with those she considered her peers, she had to hit harder, swear nastier, and ride better than anyone else... and contrary to what one might think, her father Shuichi approved of her lifestyle. After all, having such friends meant a lot more business for the both of them as her fellow delinquents wouldn't trust many other people with their precious rides, and she took pride in being able to use a tire iron for both legitimate and illegal reasons. Besides, street racing was fun, and so was getting to work on so many different kick-ass motorcycles and cars.

However, just because she was a rebel didn't mean she didn't have a sense of honor and justice. She fell in with Akihiko almost entirely by accident; one of the few days she decided to attend Hermelin (mostly because there was nothing else to do that day) he was attacked from behind by some of the rich clique. She enjoyed the novelty of ambushing them while they were ambushing him, and together they fought the attackers off - Kasuga with the discipline of a trained martial artist, Honda with wild abandon that included - over the course of the fight - several folding chairs, a step ladder, a burnt-out light tube, a broom, and the threat of an open second-story window. After the attackers ran off, the two looked at each other and shared a laugh and a handshake, and that cemented their friendship. Nowadays, she lets him ride behind her on her motorcycle if he needs a lift.

Bio: One of the many students of Hermelin, Shoji is known for her extremely timid, soft spoken manner, always walking with her head low and unnerved whenever someone chooses to single her out and speak to her. While she would rather prefer it not to be, the reason for her nature is common knowledge: Shoji is a foster child, abandoned at birth and taken in by a pair gracious enough to take the young child into their home. Though thankful for her foster parent’s kindness, the fact that her birth parents left a mark on her throughout her entire life, making her question what was wrong with her to cause her parents to do such a thing.

Still, even while plagued with self doubts and a low self esteem, Shoji pushed onwards with life in an attempt to find her meaning. Thus, with her arrival at Hermelin, Shoji managed to land a position with the school newspaper, initially as a way to ‘branch out’, or at least attempt to, but leading to her becoming one of the prime members for the club, proving rather capable as an impartial article writer. Her time in the club also led her to meet Akihiko, and although she was regularly put off by the latter's more outgoing nature, she considered him a good friend, even if they didn’t talk much. Of course, Akihiko’s time in the club would be short lived thanks to him running afoul with a popular clic, and although Shoji wished that she could help his reputation, she believed that her hands were tied: She had to remain impartial for the newspaper, after all.

Now in her second year, Shoji continues to be a timid but effective writer, but as of late, she has been making regular trips to the Helper’s Club, doing what she could to help Akihiko and his friend, trying to make up for what she could not do initially.

Bio: A not-too-recent transplant to the town of Kaname-cho, Asami is the perennial girl-next-door, with a sense of approachability and genuine kindness that has endured despite the march of time, and the fickle nature of her childhood home. A combination of traits that have meshed well enough with her hardworking and independent nature to earn her fast, if unfirm friends wherever her mother’s career took her.

Considered relatively average academically by her teachers, Asami spends the vast majority of her free time on other people. Be it inside of the cooking club where she serves as the supervising teacher’s unofficial assistant, helping to guide her underclassmen and all those less learned in the culinary arts, and out in the classroom and halls where she plies her trade as Lady Hermelin’s #3 busybody.

It is from the latter profession that Asami has made the helper club’s acquaintance. Running afoul of them whenever her own attempts at helping the people around her fall through, and sometimes leaving them to pick up the pieces in her wake. But despite these setbacks, Asami still seems intent on helping out whenever she can, even if they never explicitly asked her for any. After all, it’s not like she has much else going on in her life, nothing she really wants to think about at least.

Asami’s Parents: Asami is the product of an unlikely union between a recently graduating JASDF pilot celebrating his recent graduation with a night out in town, and the attractive young woman who took him home with her after a few too many rounds. it was meant to be a fling at best; to retoss whenever desired. But when her mother found herself fighting back nausea and exhaustion the week after their latest fling, she took herself to the local clinic to run a few tests, only to find an all too worrying positive. There was a long phone call, followed by a longer night of discussion, but in the end they agreed to take responsibility, and try to sort this mess out  the best they can.

But try as they might, things never quite seemed to work out between the two. They were simply two different people bound together only by their expectations, and their child, who as adorable as she was, simply could not bridge the distance between the two. In the end her parents didn’t drift apart so much as they remained where they were. He would show up when needed, and help pay the bills as best as he can, and she would raise their daughter and keep his ring on her finger.

While they are neither legally divorced or separated, it is quite clear to everyone involved that any lingering sparks if any have long died out by now, and that it is only a matter of time before someone moves on enough to try and settle things between them. And with Asami's 18th birthday all too visible on the horizon, it seems that it won't be long until it finally happens.

Ascension Spell: "Clocking The End"

Transformation method: "Micro Driver": A small device made out of uniform white plastic in the shape of a closed bi-fold wallet. The Micro Driver opens up once it is pressed against Asami's waist, revealing a dark green electronic reader on the right side as it unfolds a matte yellow 'belt' to keep itself on her waist. Asami transforms by tapping the SOLE card in her hand against the scanner, before she casually throws it away.

Bio:
“I am a very lucky girl. Most kids have one mommy and one daddy. Some people only have only one mommy or one daddy, but not both. Some even have two mommys and no daddys or two daddys and no mommys. But I am lucky because I have two mommys AND two daddys!” -Arashi when asked to write about her family in primary/elementary school; this resulted in a bit of a kerfuffle, a call home and a bit of embarrassment on a number of people’s accounts.
In actuality she only has one mommy and daddy… erm… mother and father… the other two are not technically her legal guardians in any way, but instead are “merely” good friends of Arashi’s father, who have both known him for many years prior to him marrying his wife and fathering his first, and only child: Arashi.
Despite not being related to them by blood or by marriage, for as long as she can remember they’ve been a major part of her life, and considers them family just as much, if not more, than some of her actual blood relatives; and they in turn treat her as if she was their own flesh and blood.

Personality:
Arashi is an headstrong (impulsive even) girl who, when she decides she wants something, will barrel towards getting it, at least until something else catches her attention (which has spawned a number of family in-jokes about “a rash Arashi” and such).
Over the years she’s picked up a number of eclectic interests, many of which wax and wane over time, but one thing that has remained near constant is her love of Fantasy stories: when she was younger she was enamoured with stories of knights saving princesses from dragons, and other similar tales. It was assumed by many that she would end up growing out of such things, and to a certain degree maybe, but it would be more accurate to say that her favourite stories are those that play around with the formula: swapping the genders (lady-knights saving princes from dragons), or only one (lady-knights saving princesses or knights saving princes), changing who saves who (princess saving a dragon from a knight, dragon saving a lady-knight from a prince, etc.) or merging them (one of her favourites stories is of one Sir Aldes of Mosley who was hired to rescue Princess Miranda of Foxley from Firefang the Ruthless, with the slight hitch that all three individuals were the exact same person). When asked which she liked to imagine herself as, she could only answer “All of them? None of them? I don’t know?”.
She has a number of half finished stories, disjointed notes, simple drawings and amateurish comics exploring various ideas she’s had, she is well aware that none of them are all that world changing, but she enjoys making them, and hopes to turn some of them into proper works that people will be fall in love with.
Now, while her parents (all four of them) are mostly supportive of her dreams, they are also very much aware that for every success story there are many many more languishing in obscurity, never getting any recognition; understandably they don’t want their daughter putting all her eggs in one basket, especially one that might fall apart. Arashi understands their worries and doesn’t in any way hold it against them that they are reluctant to let her laze around and only work on whatever catches her fancy.
Arashi and her parents have come to an informal agreement: as long as she gets good grades in school, and afterwards makes an honest attempt to hold employment (or even better run a business) then they will support her in whatever way is necessary: whether that be helping her get in contact with people in industry (“We can help you get a foot in the door, but getting the job is down to you, so study hard, okay?”) finding a low impact job that leaves her time to hone her craft, or one with a management component which would give hands on experience she can transfer to starting her company (“You might be my daughter, but I would still expect you to give 110%, can’t be seen playing favourites too much”) or even helping secure capital (“These would be loans, not gifts, if you want us to help bankroll one of your projects you’ll need to convince us you can pay it back, no different from asking a bank. A bank that wants to see you succeed no matter what, but a bank all the same.”) and of course the limitless amounts of emotional support that family can provide.
Our Lady of Hermelin High School was chosen for a number of reasons, it was relatively close, a few of Arashi’s friends were also going, it was seen as a good school, was neither too “snooty” nor too “low class”, and there was some hope that with the growth of Mishima Economic District there would be a wide variety of students, and as such Arashi might meet people that either share her dreams of making things the world will love, or at the very least intend to move in similar circles.

Family:
Father: Ryuji Niokurin is a Japanese businessman with decades of experience in the world of import/export (and as such has great interest in the eventual fate of Mishima District, whatever that may be).
Somewhat on the older side, he often describes his ideology as “everything in moderation, including moderation”. As such he often puts some value in traditional concepts, while going out of his way to incorporate ideas that are more modern or foreign that he believes can improve the overall effect, and other times the other way around.
He can also be a rather thrifty (though few would say miserly) individual, often poring over invoices, receipts and reports to see if there is any way to squeeze some extra yen here or there; however he has become somewhat less overly frugal since Arashi came along (it’s amazing what having a child to dote on will do to loosen one's pursestrings).

"Uncle": Edward Dobson is Ryuji’s American born business partner and long time friend, having met early in their respective careers as liaisons for companies on opposite sides of the Pacific, they have been working together since well before Arashi was born. In some ways he is the opposite of Ryuji, while Ryuji will fret about every little expenditure, Edward is more than willing to spend lavishly, especially if it’s to impress a potential client (in a way they help cancel one another out). To him the purpose of money is to be spent, whether that’s in terms of investments or on “the finer things in life”.
Originally he and his wife planned to live life according to ideas with cutesy names like DINK (Double Income No Kids) and FIRE (Financially Independent Retire Early) however, the arrival of Arashi somewhat changed their plans.

"Auntie": Annabelle Dobson (maiden name: Catholme) is a Junior Executive of a travel agency that focuses on tourism and cruises; as well as the wife of Edward Dobson, having met in College and gotten married not long after graduating.
A polyglot and lover of travel, she has used her connections and knowledge of the inner workings of the system to visit a wide range of destinations at a fraction of the price someone else might pay. Arguably a portion of her and her husband’s respective success (and by extension Ryuji’s) is through a sort of symbiotic loop: cheap travel around the world, as well as being able hold negotiations in beautiful locales allows Edward to get contracts that he might not otherwise be able snag; and these methods drum up a non-trivial amount of extra business for the company Annabelle works for, as well as putting its name in front of very wealthy potential clients.
At first Annabelle had some reservations about the whole Arashi thing, but having someone to share her love of travel and seeing the glee of seeing the world on her face firsthand, any misgivings are long gone.

Mother: Usagi Niokurin (maiden name: Noka) is a homemaker (some say a trophy wife, but Usagi doesn’t listen to “jealous harpies”) and the wife of Ryugi. When she was younger she worked as a waitress aboard cruise ships, which was where she met Ryugi (having gotten an amazing deal on it thanks to Annabelle); neither of them expected it to be anything serious, a short fling and once the cruise is over neither would see the other again; to their surprise they only lived about a half hour away (during the off season at least) so decided to give a proper relationship a chance.
Coming from a poor family it at first took a little bit of time to get used to, well, not being poor: while she never starved growing up, rice and beans was a common meal, but now she can eat meat and other foods that are usually only for special occasions any day she wishes. That said, she does occasionally slip into old habits from before meeting Ryugi; at first Ryuji would get annoyed whenever something would break, or need replacing and Usagi would try to work around it instead of throwing it out and getting a new one, but after learning that growing up that often wasn’t an option for her, he came to understand many things he takes for granted aren’t a given for others.
The decision to be a homemaker and, later, look after Arashi was very much her choice (which Ryuji fully supported), if she wanted a job Ryuji, Edward or Annabelle could easily find something for her, but Ryuji made (and continues to make) more than enough that she doesn’t need the extra money, and she isn’t the sort of person that needs to be employed to feel fulfilled. Plus she does take a certain amount of pride in maintaining a house that is clean and full of varied and tasty food (which wasn’t a guarantee for her growing up).
