Tokyo Death Purgers

[Owl]

CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS AND DIRECTIONS Each player is given a minimum of one and maximum of three characters that should be submitted by the end of this week (19.o4.2015) if possible since that is when the RP will take off. If you have not completed the cs at the end of the dead line, do not worry. Just take your time and jump into the roleplay whenever you have fleshed out a personage. Regarding the characters, here are my two main requirements: Realistic - this is a realistic roleplay. There are no supernatural aspects to it, so I expect all characters to just be ordinary humans and not some overpowered beings. Balanced - in order for them to be ordinary humans, the characters have to be beliavable so nake them well-balanced with both good and bad traits.

THE SUIT CLAD BOSS

The sole equality on Earth is death. Philip James Bailey

Name

His real name is unknown as he does not wish to disclose it for privacy reasons.

Nicknames and aliases

Due to not revealing his identity, others have adapted to addressing him via nicknames. Due to the man’s apparent obsession with death, the employees refer to him as Tomoe-san, the only exception being Satoshi who calls him Shi-kun.

Age

Possibly in his early 30s

Nationality

Presumed Japanese

Occupation

Founder of Tokyo Death Purgers

Rumored to have an important post on the side, though it is unsure exactly what this other occupation of his involves

Appearance

Tomoe-san is a faceless body that has only been seen on video by the purgers. What is characteristic of his outlook is his way of dressing, which consists of wearing exclusively dark suits, combined with a white shirt and a black tie.

He lacks in accessories but does keep gloves on his person at all times. This is thought to be a way for him to further conceal his skin or some marks on it that might give away his identity.

Personality

+Levelheaded, Sharpminded, Reliable, Discrete


-Morbid, Demanding, Secretive, Serious

Little to no information is known about Tomoe-san and what is out there for the employees to view is scarce, giving an unsure image of their employer. The few videos in which he has appeared as well as what Satoshi has revealed lead to think of him as a very business-like individual, with an iron fist to rule his subordinates, a very professional approach to every issue, making him punctual, reliable and sharpminded when in a tough situation. He is the stereotypical workaholic...

However, these are all just speculations since what is truly known about the man portrays a different and unpleasant image. First of all, he obviously has some sort of fascination with death as that is the main (possibly the only) topic he converses about. This, combined with the fact that he doesn’t trust in people and refuses to reveal his identity makes for a creepy combination.

Biography

There is no solid information regarding Tomoe’s past, yet he is rumored to have been born into an extremely poor family and then made a name for himself through tough work. He supposedly had a dysfunctional childhood due to his parents’ negligence and possible abuse. After years of enduring this he ran away and focused solely on prospering and education. As a result he became filthy rich and was able to establish Tokyo Death Purgers, which he funds as well as manages with the help of Satoshi.

It is thought that due to his unhealthy predicaments early on in life, Tomoe became a recluse and developed a love for the morbid.

Quirks and peculiarities

Despite being a suited body without a face or anything close to a history, everyone knows that there is no aspect of Tomoe-san that is not peculiar or odd. Firstly, he is awfully morbid and shows an unhealthy interest in the occult and strange. The man also wears gloves at all times and has shown while on video to have the habit of adjusting his tie every few seconds seemingly unconsciously.

Likes and dislikes

​

• A job well done - when a case is solved or when a customer is happy, Tomoe-san rejoices
  
  ​
  
  
  
• The dark and macabre - has an obsession with anything and everything death-relate
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Tokyo Death Purgers - he loves his little business and is not afraid to show it. It is in a way his offspring and he tends to it constantly as well as to the wellbeing of the workers
  
  ​
  
  
  

• A failed objective - when a job is not carried out correctly, however, the man is obviously disappointed
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Feeling helpless - Tomoe-san thinks it very important to always be in power of the situation. It is only on the few occasions when something has gone wrong beyond his reach that the man loses his composure
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Being forced into revealing his person - this is something that the man cannot stand and when someone presses for him to show his face he simply ignores the plea
  
  ​
  
  
  

Hobbies and interests

​

• The bizarre and strange - he adores delving into these subjects and exploring them
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Giving off directions - to him there is nothing like presenting yet another case to Satoshi for the secretary to then disclose to the purgers
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Detective work - although he rarely does this, when the purgers are unable to solve a case he is always delighted to lend a hand

THE CHEERFUL PROTECTOR

We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever. It’s to create something that will. Chuck Palahniuk

Name

Akiyama Satoshi

Nicknames

He is mostly referred to as Akiyama-san by the purgers while Tomoe is quite familiar with him and calls the man simply Satoshi.

Age

28

Nationality

Japanese

Occupation

Secretary of Tokyo Death Purgers

Manager of Tokyo Death Purgers

“Retired” purger

Appearance

Satoshi is a youthful man looking man with very childish and radiant features, who could easily be mistaken for a teenager if it wasn’t for his impressive height of 6’2 (1.90 m). However, he certainly does not look his age, his face being bright and adorned by two dark sparkling eyes full of enthusiasm better lined by thin brown eyebrows, contrasting with his bleached hair. His most prominent feature, however, is not in fact the man’s light puffy hair but rather the fact that he always seems to have a smile plastered across his face. Satoshi’s expression is that of permanent joy. He has a friendly and aura around himself that makes people feel relaxed as though in a sort of safe zone.

To add to his already beaming outlook, Satoshi’s clothing choice consists of brightly coloured articles in whites, yellows and blues. This includes T-shirts of all kinds with most commonly words sprawled over them, jeans, trainers and the occasional oversized jacket. The man is also bespectacled and never takes off his glasses, despite them being for reading purposes only. He just… forgets that he’s wearing them.

His appearance certainly raises the question as to why such a guy would be doing a morbid job as that of a crime-scene cleaner...

Personality

+Protective, Kind, Knowledgeable, Reliable


-Overlyprotective, Disobedient, Hyper, Cryptic

Satoshi is your stereotypical father figure, with all the traits a protector would have. He is a very caring person and a lot of the times will put other in front of himself due to not only good will but also genuine care for those close to him. The man is willing to do anything for his loved ones which includes advising them, which he has become quite famous for. Satoshi is a wise guy despite when it comes down to solving puzzles and he is always there to lend a hand if any of the employees are having trouble with a case. Plus, most of the purgers have no problem when seeking him out as he is a most reliable individual.

However, the way he puts across his knowledge is… annoying, in the very least. Satoshi enjoys talking in riddles when giving away vital information and clues, which means that sometimes he worsens the situation the purgers are in as it becomes more complex. He has quite an interesting relationship with the employees since he is not only a source of wisdom but also the guy who jumps in to save the day if anyone is in danger. This is where his role as a protector goes out of hand due to the fact that Satoshi gets concerned the moment one of the purgers coughs. He truly cares for those guys, yet his care sometimes goes over the limit.

Tomoe has noted this side of his friend as well, though the boss hates another part of Satoshi… He detest the fact that the man is very very stubborn and due to this sometimes does not carry through with Tomoe’s orders and proceeds with his own plan.

Biography

Satoshi was born into a middle class family and has lived in Tokyo for most for his life. He was the second child in a family which loved him and thus lived a good life throughout his childhood. He did well in school and excelled in English and IT, he had many friends and was popular. During those years he was actually quite the douchebag, who would push around others and did not care for their feelings. Teasing and hurting others was… fun. It gave him a sense of empowerment. Yes, Satoshi was what we would call a bully.

However, the boy changed completely when his older brother died. He was not killed but neither did he pass due to natural causes. His demise was a suicide. Satoshi was heartbroken and confused. He hadn’t even knows of his kin’s depression and due to ignorance had not noticed any signs of the upcoming tragedy.

After this unfortunate event, Satoshi became closed off and was soon forgotten by his fiends. He graduated one year later quietly and moved onto university right after. It is assumed that this is where he met Tomoe. Apparently the two had a developed a special relationship and had helped each other out. Satoshi says that it was Tomoe who helped him go through his own depression. Apparently he got over his sibling’s demise through the job of a crime-scene cleaner...

Quirks and peculiarities

​

• Can be very touchy feely and unconsciously invades other’s personal space
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Satoshi frets over the purgers at all times and can sometimes even become violent when a person he cares for is threatened
  
  ​
  
  
  
• He readjusts his glasses every few minutes
  
  ​
  
  
  
• He rarely speaks loudly and yells and has quite a quiet voice that can easily be compared to a whisper
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Despite not disclosing a lot of information and speaking cryptically, he enjoys conversing on the topic of Tomoe
  
  ​
  
  
  

Likes and dislikes

​

• Crime novels - although not being a freak like Tomoe when it comes down to murder and mystery, Satoshi is extremely fond of detective and crime novels since, according to him, they make a person think
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Puzzles and riddles - the man adores solving complex problems but even more than this he takes pleasure in assigning a mind game to someone else
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Safety - being out of harm’s way is of utmost importance to Satoshi and he feels relieved when knowing the employees are not in any danger
  
  ​
  
  
  

• Others getting hurt - this is something the man cannot handle as it makes him think back on his brother’s tragic death
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Not being able to help - feeling powerless while those around him are being harmed is extremely triggering to Satoshi
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Loud people - he can bare them for a while, yet it does not take too long for the man to become irritated
  
  ​
  
  
  

Hobbies and interests

​

• Reading - this is the pastime he practices most as he can be seen borrowed in the pages of some book at all times in his workplace
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Organizing - despite being nothing close to a clean freak, Satoshi enjoys categorizing different things and latter arranging them in a certain order of his. He views this activity as relaxing
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Video games - he used to be an avid gamer, though his interest has recently declined. However, this hobby is still something he indulges in from time to time as it is in his opinion thought provoking and aiding in developing a person’s logical skills

The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them. Lois McMaster Bujold

Name

Iga Ayumu

Nicknames

People usually call her Iga, but some call her Yuu-san. Nobody really calls her Ayumu. Probably because it makes non-purgers question her sexuality.

Age

21

Nationality

Japanese

Occupation

Junior Purger

College Student Majoring in Martial Arts

Appearance

Ayumu is often mistaken for a feeble boy when she wears uni-sexual

clothing because of her underdeveloped chest, short hair, and tomboy personality. She is 167 cm (5'6'' ) and weighs 58 kg (128 lbs). Her wardrobe usually consists of comfortable clothing (shorts, baggy shirts, tank tops, comfy shorts, etc.). She also wears a her black hat often. She looks weak, but her muscles are quite developed.

Personality

+Determined, Calm, Observant, Open-minded


-Clinical, Violent at times, Deceptive, Sadistic/Masochistic

Ayumu is a deceptive young woman. She can imply one meaning when she really means another. The deceptive part of her is what makes people question her gender even though she looks more feminine than masculine. She is open-minded to what people have to say and takes what they say into account, no matter how nonsensical it seems. With all the death around the streets, she learns does her job clinically, but she does care for the dead. Ayumu always tries to keep a calm mind and be observant at all times to help her with her cases.

She also has a violent, sadistic, and masochistic side. She tries to keep in her sadistic and masochistic sides of her, but they resurface when she is stressed. That is why she carries around her stress ball, to take her stress out on the ball instead of other people. If she does not have a stress ball, she simply hurts herself with her nails. There are times when she cannot hold in her sadistic urge and goes to hug the life out of someone from the Purgers (not literally) to keep herself from hurting other people.

Ayumu loves free running, which involves running around all over the place. With her free running, Ayumu is able to get to places where normal people take 10 minutes to arrive. She uses her free running to get to places quickly and for endurance training.

Biography

Ayumu was born as an only child of two parents in the working class. Due to her parents always working, she learned to be independent. Although she hardly saw her parents, they occasionally send her gifts and tutors. The tutors taught her how to free run, how to fight, how to gather information, and how to be stealthy. They were from a family line of assassins, after all.

She had decent grades when she in school, but she never put much effort into school. People did not approach her because her quietness made it seem like she didn't want to talk with anyone. This resulted her being isolated from her classmates. While she was isolated from the school, she observed them, memorized their names, their histories, their personalities, etc.

One day, a classmate of hers committed suicide right in front of her, saying how her parents were dead and that she couldn't live anymore. Ayumu started to become more and more apathetic to the concept of death because she realized that death was everywhere. She wanted to do something for the sorrowful people affected by death's touch and joined the Tokyo Death Purgers for the main reason of helping people with their problems.

Quirks and peculiarities
​

• She likes saying ambiguous things
  
• She becomes a bit... violent when she is stressed
  
• Ayumu always wears baggy/loose clothing
  
• Her nails are used as weapons despite them being short (they hurt)
  
• She has a strange sense of humor
  

Likes and dislikes

​

• Music - when she is not working, she is almost always seen with at least one ear bud in her ear.
  
• Cats - they're similar in that cats can jump to places and she can free run to places. Plus, they're cute
  
• Free running - she likes the exercise and it's fun to run around like that
  
• Helping people - despite the fact that she keeps a certain distance from other people, she cares for people and their feelings, so she helps them
  

• Failing missions - she always feels bad for failing missions, knowing that she could not do her job correctly
  
• Crowded & Loud places - they make her head hurt and stressed out
  
• Shopping - she does not like shopping for girly stuff or anything like that. It takes more energy out of her than exercising.
  

Hobbies and interests

​

• Relaxing outside - sitting in the park or some nature setting where she can breathe and relax
  
• Naps - she is sometimes seen taking naps because she has nothing better to do
  
• Thinking - her thoughts just kind of wander off and she starts thinking about random things
