Minor Character Profiles (WIP)


Tokiko Suou


Role: Intermittent Head of Diplomacy
Culture: Kaigan Kottashiman, gaikoi, amai-chi

”I’ve always sought to do my duty. Whether that be war, or diplomacy, it makes little difference to me. I am wounded, yes. Does that hold me back? No. Nor will it hold us back. As a nation, we are wounded, but those wounds will heal. We have never ceased to triumph. And so, I take this philosophy, and apply it to myself.”

Tokiko Suou was one of few Chudokurens to both desire and have access to s wide variety of foreign works. She enlisted to become a diplomat after her compulsory military service, but was never directly called to service in any negotiations. She spent her time studying the ideologies and beliefs of foreign nations, especially those of Friently, the Syca Empire, and, perhaps bizarrely, Puczovska. However, she always valued her own nation far more.

In the Nightmare War, Tokiko was one of many warriors fighting against the Tengoku. She gained a considerable kill count, and was reported to show little fear. Despite several scarring incidents, she remained sociable and eloquent yet intimidating. She is known for carrying two knives- one for stabbing enemies, and one for shūkei. In the aftermath of the war, she was one of few diplomats left alive and in condition to do her duty. With Kiku undergoing rehabilitation, Tokyo Suou was promoted to Intermittent Head of Diplomacy.

Due to her wartime experiences, Tokiko has several notable physical characteristics. These include several shūkei tally markings on her forearms, left leg, and right cheek. Her left eye was gouged out by a Tengokuren soldier, so she has an eyepatch to cover the wound. Her hair is black and her eyes are piercing blue. During battle, she was struck by b from an enemy battalion who soaked their rounds in nekoficatikn serum. The resulting organs were amputated, though their stumps remain visible on her head and backbone. Tokiko is also naturally tall. She speaks with a notable Kottashiman accent. Typical attire of the diplomat is a dark purple cloak-dress.


Kaya Yoyoi


Role: Head of Air Force
Culture: Chuo Chudokuren, heiko

”There’s a reason the Tengokurens made sure we couldn’t use our aerial forces. Death from above would have destroyed them. I wish to reign such death upon any who become our enemy.”


Okura Chiyotanda


Role: Intermittent Head of Science
Culture: Isogashi Chudokuren, heiko, neko

”Science is the art of understanding the universe and exploiting its every property to bend the world to your will.”


Tenshin


Role: Head of Intelligence

”Doubt becomes clarity at my instruction.”


Kodama Remon


Role: Head of Arcane Security
Culture: Shinrin Chudokuren, heiko

”I remember the time I fought with the Supreme Overlady of All Reality. That incursion taught me a valuable lesson- chaos must be stopped. And arcane chaos is amongst its worst forms.”

Kodama Remon is the Head of Arcane Security and an important member of the Himitsu no Shakai.


Zyoko


Role: Remon’s Blade

Sanraku Akagi


Role: Commander of the Undertaker Brigade
Culture: Chudokuren, gaikoi

”Our enemy, heinous as they may be, are quite simply...fascinating...”


Tsukiko Uozumi


Role: Vice Commander of the Undertaker Brigade
Culture: Homeland Kottashiman, amai-chi

”Those who stand in our way, die. Some feel regret over that necessity. I am not among them.”


Amari Rea


Role: Ace Pilot
Culture: Chuo Chudokuren, tengokutankyu, amai-chi


Orimi Kawano


Role: Exchange Naval Officer
Culture: Otoko Chudokuren, tengokutankyu, amai-chi, gaikoi

”To serve alongside allies is an honour for me. They deserve our respect, as we deserve theirs.”

Orimi Kawano serves aboard the YNS Yoimono, a vessel of Yurizuisensoku, as a naval officer representing Kyoki Chudoku.


Aneko Aoi


Role: Monstrous psychopath and traitor
Culture: Yasei Chudokuren

”Murder? You mean conversation. I mean, yes, the two are synonymous, but let’s not get picky of that. Either way, I have fun, people die, joy all around. There’s nothing that makes me feel more alive than making someone else stop being alive.”


Sekien Suzuki


Role: Monarch in Exile, Aozora’s beloved
Culture: Edwerlantin

Full credit to Edwerlantin for this.

His Excellency Sekien Suzuki was ruler of the nation of Edwerlantin, a power in Osea. Due to mysterious yet dangerous circumstances, the nation has since fallen into collapse. Having previously been tenshified by Aozora on his own request, Sekien is a potent warrior and is capable of using both advanced technology and his own light-related tenshi-based magic to great effect. However, he is also known to suffer from some mental instability.

The circumstances of Sekien’s arrival in Kyoki Chudoku, as necessitated by the harsh situation, have had a significant impact on Aozora, who is very unused to this situation. She does, however, greatly appreciate his presence.

Seriously, full credit to Edwerlantin.
