Chez's Characters

[chez]

For the new and already much-beloved (by me, I mean) Shibuya AU. :3

Name: Koki Kariya

Age: He's been 19 for a long time; we don't know how long, exactly.

Race: Reaper

Side: Unknown (Reapers are evil/antagonists, but Kariya occasionally leans more towards 'antihero' when he sometimes helps out main characters in WEWY.)

Appearance: Kariya is tall and lean, with scruffy orange hair that sticks way up, held by X-shaped pins. He has reddish-brown eyes, yellow-tinted, rectangular glasses, and is always holding a bean paste-lollipop. He wears a sleeveless black hoodie with a life-sized white ribcage/skeleton-pattern, purple jeans, and white sneakers.

History: We don't know much about Kariya at all. He acts like he's been in the Game for a long time, and he's rumored to be exceptionally strong, stronger even than most of the bosses, despite being low-ranking. Turns out he's had a promotion offered, but prefers being a Harrier Reaper because's it's more fun.
Throughout The World Ends With You, he helps and hinders the protagonists depending on what's more convenient for him.

Personality: Kariya is laid-back, intelligent, sly, sarcastic, playful, fairly upbeat, and also very lazy. He doesn't get worked up over anything, and prefers watching from the sidelines to participating in whatever's going on.

Name: Ryan Sokkokin (nicknamed Fang)

Age: unknown; probably between sixteen and twenty

Race: Human

Side: Neutral

Appearance: He's tall, lean and lanky, built like a runner. Ryan has semi-long black hair gelled to be slightly spiky, but always scruffier than he wants it, so he usually just covers it with a Red Sox baseball cap so that his bangs are in his eyes. He has bright yellow-brown eyes, and a few freckles. Ryan usually just wears jeans, black sneakers, and a black leather jacket (because he loves gang cliches).

Picture: None yet, sorry.

History: Okay, brace yourselves.
Ryan was taken from home for illegal child labor when he was young. Once his abductors were arrested, was passed from orphanage to orphanage and homeless shelter to homeless shelter over the next few years. He was an angry, angsty preteen and frequently ran away from home, but was always caught. When Fang eventually made a break for it, around fifteen years old, he joined and took over a gang of other homeless children calling themselves The Pack. He traveled with them for a few years before they broke up in NYC, and he befriended two other teens on their own, Veyla and Daniel Reikan.
Fang doesn't remember much about where or how he lived, but he knows that he led the child abductors onto his family accidentally, for which his psychotic older brother Zach (sorry, Zach! still holds a grudge against him. Zach--called Shadowpaw among his gang, due to an incident where he killed a stray dog--is a constant threat to Ryan and his friends whenever they are in the same area. They also have a sister named Caluiy, whom they were separated from when they were kidnapped; she occasionally gets in touch with Fang, but avoids Zach out of fear.
Fang and his two friends love exploring and breaking rules, not really aiming for anything or taking any side.

Personality: Ryan loves cracking jokes, but his sense of humor can lean toward dark or dirty. He has a violent temper, a huge ego and plenty of pride, so he makes a lot of threats if you annoy him. He's reckless, very arrogant, scorns rules and authority, loves getting into fights, and can have a bit of a sadistic side, like his brother.
