NONETHELESS SHE SOUGHT DARKNESS BY HERSELF. Those days spent by Izanami’s side taught her a valuable lesson. However to speak of them with others, to reveals those secrets they shared together was something which she would refrain from doing. Whatever fragment of sympathy ( if there was anything left ) which the goddess had for her would not be broken apart. That trust would not be betrayed. If anything, whatever happened would remain between them. Feeling at ease as she kept on hearing Ana speaking, Yuna wondered for a brief moment about her own story. Regardless of her dispute with Yukimura, was Ana truly happy?
❝ Not in the slightest. I am at peace with what happened back then. Whatever consequences, I will confront them. However.. ❞ Hesitation was present into her voice, her tone becoming slightly lower than normal. Yuna was not certain of how to bring that certain topic to Anastasia. Whatever happened, she should not get involved, but how could she just abandon somebody whom she deemed as friend? Perhaps it was an action based on her grudge towards Yukimura, but.. she often wondered whether she was happy there. ❝ Are you happy being there? You must be aware now of my…. dispute with that man. ❞ It had been more than a dispute. It reached the point where Yuna did not wish to cross paths with him again. Somebody as proud as herself would not lower herself to apologize for something which she was in the right.
Taking in a deep breathe, she chose to stop hesitating and confront Ana regardless of whether she would be wrong or not. ❝ I wonder whether you feel well there or not. I told him I believe he considers you all as pawns and I still believe that. I am aware that you and Hanzo are not on friendly terms, but when I confronted Yukimura about his death… ❞ That gaze, those words.. even recalling everything made Yuna’s blood boil. At that time she was hesitating a lot, those words she said being spilled out in a fit of anger. Now if she could repeat that scene, she would have done everything in a different way. ❝ Honestly, I prefer not to see his face ever again, so you will not see me again in Ueda. I will not apologize for something I said and believe in strongly. But this does not mean I do not care about you or have respect for you and the others as he claims. Haha, I still want to hit him. A real hit this time. ❞
“As long as you are willing to face the consequences headfirst, you should be able to overcome them eventually.” Anastasia responds with a bit of a hum – nodding a little, approvingly. The truth was, that was part of her problem when she had originally returned. It had been done so as … final act. She had returned to UEDA with the understanding that she would die.
Almost the H O P E for death.
However, when she’d been granted an extension to her life, when she’d been accepted amongst them again as the terms for her “f o r g i v e n e s s” . . . she’d felt TRAPPED. Sometimes, that man’s kindness was horribly crippling. It was K I N D, but it was manipulative. He’d known from the moment he spoke that his kindness was a binding c o n t r a c t. If Anastasia had had any other goals, dreams, or aspirations, they would have died on the spot. However, her dreams had died before that day, regardless. “… I’m aware of your conflict with our Lord, yes.” Anastasia responds, somewhat… carefully. “I wasn’t informed of it by the Lord himself, Sanada-sama has mostly kept the situation to himself, with the exception of his page – Rokurou-san. I simply happened to overhear about it when they were talking.” Honestly? She wasn’t sure what to make of the situation herself, since she hadn’t been there. And as she wasn’t properly informed? She was slow to make a judgement call on the situation… However? As the other asks about her own situation, Anastasia offers a soft smile. “I’m fine, Yuna-san. Sanada-sama has been more then lenient with me, and. . . even if I wasn’t exactly thrilled by his decision to employ me again at first? I’m… grateful that he did. It gave me a chance to redeem myself. It’s… given me the chance to make things right with people. And... I didn’t know how much I needed that.”
Though she had resented H I M for it at first, Anastasia knew that without his kindness she would have never been able to make things right with Isanami. She would have never been able to apologize to Sasuke. Or work towards redemption in Saizou’s eyes. Or even get to speak to ROKUROU about what she’d done to his e y e. . . They were dear friends of hers, and if she’d left things as they were? She would have DIED a traitor.
However, as the other continues to talk, Anastasia falls silent again. The RUSSIAN Kunoichi interested to hear what her friends was speaking. It was… interesting to hear that. From an outsiders perspective, perhaps it did look that way, but? After the other finishes speaking, she offers a slight nod – “… I can see where you might think that. I believed the same at first.” It was the honest truth. She’d HATED Yukimura years ago, judged him immediately due to his being a feudal LORD whose title had been granted to him from W A R. And the fact was – LORD tended to treat their underlings like pawns and playthings. She knew that VERY personally. And yet? “It’s impossible for me to dispute that it might seem that way, however? I can say this with absolute certainty: Yukimura is the best possible lord for me and those who are in his employ. He’s… unique. Weird. But he absolutely see’s us all as people, or? We wouldn’t still be there.” Saizou in specific was who she was thinking of. The young man who had had such skills – but had abandoned the idea of ever getting a lord. Yukimura was the one who had given him any faith in serving others again.
“I do not fault you for following your ideals. You should do what you think is best.” Anastasia believed that. If Yuna thought it was best to not return, then perhaps it was best. “I don’t claim to understand that man – so I can’t say what’s running through his head. I can’t imagine what it was that he said to you about Hanzo’s disappearance.” In fact, she couldn’t be sympathetic when it came to that at all. When it came to Hanzo, she STILL hated him. He’d deceived her and used her as a weapon against the others. So? Despite being willing to work with him, because she was professional, she did hate him. “And you should hit him again. Honestly, most of us spend our time exhausted with his antics… and most of us would like to hit him to. But? I would like to put forth that you should reframe from doing any real damage to him. We’re the only ones who are supposed to beat our lord up.” She offers with a smile and a soft laugh – ( Rokurou half burst the lords eardrums every other day with that technique of his… so… ) “We’re also paid to keep him from any real damage – so? You’d be denying us our pay if you got a real hit in.”
The canon verse for Zach. He’s a killer on the bottom layer of the “hospital” - in charge of the lowest floor. He’s not very smart, but he is passionate and powerful. He can neither read nor write, and his unchecked strength... occasionally gets him into trouble. But, he is honest: and he hates lies with everything he is. . . and so? He’ll never lie himself.

During the events of Danganronpa V3. This is the new killing game between Ultimates, in which he’s one of the players. And? From the get go, he likes to tell people that he is not someone they should be trusting. After all: He’s already got a record - in fact? He’s already killed people. So? Why should they trust him?
Based on the mini-game in Danganronpa V3 where everyone is a part of Hope’s Peak Academy, this is where he has a rather natural school life alongside of everyone else. Of course, he’s still reluctant to actually play tennis anymore... but surrounded by these people and their talents has at least inspired a spark of interest in his own talent again. Can he truly retire so early in his life? Especially when he still has so much love for the sport?
( PRE-GAME VERSE - heavily under construction )
Whimsical and a bit of a trouble-maker, this warrior from the “Castle of Hearts” does his absolute best - … to avoid his job as the “Knight of Hearts”. He is often found wandering about Wonderland, hopelessly lost. Not that he seems to mind too much, but? It does seem to leave a bit of a bitter note with those he works with. Not that he could possibly imagine why. Regardless of his reasons, wandering Wonderland seems to be a bit of a pass time for him. And? Despite being an odd ball, he does seem to have genuinely bonded with the resident of the Clock Tower.
Odd or not, he is probably not the best choice to approach. He has a friendly smile and a deceptively innocent appearance from time to time - However? He is one of the deadliest people in Wonderland.
( With the shift that took place, removing some Wonderlandian’s and replacing them with others - he’s become even more unpredictable. A certain amount of his actions ranging on absolutely, ridiculously, crazy. Or simply dangerous. At first glance, he doesn’t appear to have changed much. He still is always smiling. And yet, behind his smile… is an unyielding darkness. )
( Lost and more then a little confused, Ace has found himself in Wonderland - And what’s even weirder? He can’t remember coming here. Or even what he was doing before he arrived. Entirely lost, confused, and suffering from a bit of whiplash amnesia … He is a man trying his best. And, at the same time? He is relatively okay with being lost. )
( The precursor verse for “restart,” this is the verse that has him still in the normal world and relatively explains why he ended up in Wonderland. What he was trying to get away from, what he was trying to survive with … This verse is still [ under construction. ] )

Continuation from here: @absortio
❖ ─ ━ ɩɴⅴеႽτɩնατοʀ It was actually surprised to see him at his desk each day, it was like he was trying to improve himself more something which was actually quite kind of him to do. Despite everyone else who works in their Division though, Hijirihara was the only one that could make her smile the brightest and more or less trust so these small things made her day. ❝I never knew you were good at these sort of things, Hijirihara-san. I’m actually amazed at it, and it’s actually quite adorable too. ❞ She responded back smiling more towards him. It didn’t actually matter that he gave it to her earlier than expected there cause she would respond the same way. It was very sweet of him he went to the extent of decorating it there too so she was more than happy he gave her the plushy there. ❝I named it after a character from a game I played in the past there, so his name is Dezel. And he’s now he’s one of my valuable treasures too. Besides that though, how was the chocolate I made you? ❞
When she compliments him again, he lowers his head a little – hiding his eyes a little bit behind his messy hair. He didn’t often show these skills to others. So? It was nice to have them complimented. But? it was a little overwhelming as well.
Perhaps that was just because he was naturally a little anxious? Or perhaps it was because his partner & friend was the one saying it? And he wasn’t used to being complimented by her… after all, he could be an awful lot of trouble for her as well. And there where days that he still found himself hiding in weird places. It was a comfort thing for him. “I could show you how I do it, sometime? If you’d be interested… in something like that, I guess?” Perhaps he could make a companion stuffed animal for her current one – and he could show her how he did it.
Honestly, it’s just understanding how shapes work together. And knowing what the completed image would look like reassembled. ( Ironically – a similar technique to figuring out murders. Not that he was going to say something like that right n o w though. )
“Dezel? I like it.” Hijirihara comments, smiling just a little as he nods. “I liked the chocolate.” He continues, answering her question now as well. “It was really good. A little more of a dark-chocolate, right?” Do you know who sucks at small talk? This fella.
But do you know whose gotten better at it, because he wants to talk to his partner more? SAME ANSWER as above. ( This fella. ) “I think I read somewhere… that you have to keep it at a certain temperature? While you’re cooking it, otherwise it doesn’t have that shine it had… so… that’s really cool.” Casual conversation may not be his strong point. But? Here he was – the KILLER KILLER, sitting at his desk. Chatting casually with his partner. Exchanging interests. ( . . . what a sight. )
he who wears the THICKEST ARMOR
is often the MOST FRAGILE.
Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the Iga League of Five, is a manipulative shinobi whose existence… is a little strange. “Hattori Hanzo” is a false name, handed down from shinobi to shinobi, to whomever is strongest at that time. It is to create the illusion of “immortality.” (If one dies, another will arise.) However? The strangest things about him are his views on the world, the fact that he wants shinobi to rule over the lords, and the simple fact that he can summon fire from nothingness. At this point? He’s not terribly approachable, unless he’s been hired to do a job. And even then? Don’t expect him to butter you up.
For a while, Hanzo was something of a traveling shinobi. Initially unemployed, and eventually hired by Sanada Yukimura, to become their current “Brave of Fire.” He’s trying to become a member of the team, and because of that? He has a little bit of a different “persona” that he’s presenting to everyone. Friendly, approachable, and attempting to be a team player, Hanzo is attempting to become a part of the Braves and live up to his new title. But? How sincere is it? That’s the part the whole team is questioning.
Hanzo is a very particular sort. A little too nosy. A little too friendly. And? A little too pushy. He likes to involve himself in his friends activities and make himself a part of the group. This occasionally makes him hard to be around, but? This won’t stop him. ( He is a senior in high school, in this AU. He’s also known for taking a multitude of odd jobs, due to the fact that he lives alone. )
Warning: This AU is based on a headcanon that I have with Dev. ( @carnifcx ) In this AU, Hattori Hanzo is the “persona” that Saizou’s “dead friend” became. Due to the fact that he had willingly subjected himself to working for a lord, only to find himself discarded and “killed,” before being tossed into a river? Hanzo has a vague fear of fast waters and cloudy memories from before the incident in its entirety. He doesn’t remember being Saizou’s old friend, and he’s become very different since then… However? From time to time, those old memories come creepy up… and he wishes he knew who that old friend of his was.
After being thrown out of the main courses, out of the main campus, Karma has found a place where he can truly thrive. After all: His anger at his old teachers betrayal still fresh in his mind, the option of killing a teacher? Well, sign him up! What he wasn’t expecting was to actually become somewhat fond of the class - classmates, teachers, and all. Maybe school can be interesting after all! Well, assuming he remembers to put forth all the necessary effort. Watch out, A-Class! He’s going to give you a run for your money, regardless of where he sits on the totem pole!
Graduating was only the first step - Moving onto his new battlefield, Karma has decided to do one of the things he does best with his life. Fight. No, not physically - surprisingly. He’s decided to become something of a lawyer. Surprising, yes? He is good at it, however. Despite being something of a hellion, he is charming and persuasive. Also? His personality/charisma can do a lot of damage in this sort of battlefield.
This verse has two alternatives - One? Karma tried to live a normal life after his time in the Assassination Classroom. But? Despite every attempt to live a normal life, his old training kept calling him back. His violence, though it had been reigned in, kept showing through - eventually? The best way he decided he could honor his old teachers memories? Was to take what he was taught, and actually do something with it.
Two? Karma’s natural violent tendencies eventually wound him up accidentally killing a man - accidentally, being the misleading word in that sentence. And? By chance, a professional assassin saw his actions. His clear cut, without a doubt, actions. With that, with his natural ability to make it appear like an accident, and with what appeared to be an entire lack of response to his own actions - they took him in and trained him.
It’s not easy to be a demonic overlord.
Sure, it comes with it’s perks - real estate in hell, and recently? He’d been able to crave his own place out on the surface as well. You know, something of a summer house. Castle. Thing. Regardless? Having come to the topside for the first time, he’s found himself fascinated with interrupting the day to day lives of the humans in the area. This? Could go… very poorly.
Karma, though looking fairly humanoid, has a few odd features - His lopsided horns being one of the first, and most prominent features people notice. The others include blackened and sharp-tipped fingernails, slightly pointed ears, and metallic eyes.
Possibly one of the pickiest vampires - Lawless of Greed has a terrible habit of picking new Eve’s, and killing them the moment he’s become sick of them. This is usually due to the realization that someone has hit their “limit,” they’ve stopped showing potential. However? Licht has… surprisingly kept his interests, despite everything. And? So far, doesn’t seem to be in any danger of actually being killed by him. ( If his violence is any indicator? Hyde might be the one in danger … )
The Servamp of Greed, Lawless has been around the block a few times - A fan of art, theater, and the ever-changing world, he finds himself fascinated with those responsible for molding the world. People who can leave “lasting changes,” or become “immortal” and remembered … based off of what they can accomplish. Of course, he’s already made his decision on this topic: No one is going to be remembered. Everyone will one day be forgotten, regardless of the degree of what they’ve accomplished… but he does enjoy watching them fail. Even if only to justify the loss that he still can’t quite comprehend.
Enthusiastic and whimsical, Hyde enjoys throwing himself into projects - way too many projects. But? He wants to be part of things. Part of groups. He enjoys being part of moments, memories, and seems to be physically unable to stop himself from wanting to be a part of literally everything.
Or to stop himself, if he finds he wants to be around someone… for any reason. ( However? Unaccustomed to rejection, he finds himself even more interested in people who push him away… )
[ @snowinglilys ]╰☆╮ continued from [x]
Though it was much more in his nature to just let things unfold as they would – he couldn’t just sit on his hands and do nothing when he’d seen the familiar butterfly fluttering about. Snow Lily was a dear friend of the family, and if Jeje had been around . . . Well, as the two had always worked side-by-side in protecting the Alicein family? He could only imagine that things would have escalated from there. Luckily, Mikuni was on his own today. And he’d been able to get the child to relinquish his claim on the butterfly in his possession.
“Ah, ya never need to worry ‘bout me just leaving you trapped. Should I be in the area, I’m more then happy to help.” And, despite frequently just allowing the dominos to fall as they would – he was often around. So? With this comment, he’s more then happy to tilt his hat towards the other. A little gentlemanly gesture.
And as Lily had been one of his family’s… “GUARDIANS,” so to say, he certainly wasn’t about to watch one of them be accidentally abducted. Despite his tendency to play devil’s advocate. “Lucky timing, though. Misono would have had a heart attack if some kid decided they were gonna keep ya again.” The funniest part was that he could – truthfully – say a g a i n. Lily, All-of-Love, was certainly a beautiful butterfly.
Leader of the Future Foundation’s Eighth Branch, Ruruka Andou is a bit cold and distant – A leader, as well as a member of the Future Foundation, but clearly disagreeing with certain key concepts that they run by. She is the former Ultimate Confectionist, having been kicked out of Hope’s Peak Academy … after a particularly eventful batch of tests. She is only particularly close to the leader of the Ninth Branch, Sonosuke Izayoi.
Despite being kicked out of Hope’s Peak Academy – She’s managed to make the best of things. Eventually buying and opening up a shop of her own. Which? Has done very well. Even being a disgraced member of Hope’s Peak Academy, means you have a lot of skill. So? People still happily come to her shop. And? In her own ways, she’s made peace with what has happened – She’s still successful. It’s not like she was ruined. And? She’s even begun reaching out to the people she blamed for what happened. It’ll do no one any good to stay bitter forever.
Alternatively ; She was never kicked out of Hope’s Peak Academy, and continued to study there alongside of her friends – However? Eventually, as events played out, she eventually learned about how she was treating Seiko. It was a harsh lesson. One she didn’t appreciate, nor did she really want to realize. But? Once the truth was out there … she did her best to figure out what she was doing wrong. Of course, it’s not an immediate change. But? She is trying to be a better friend for … all of them, honestly. She doesn’t want to be that person.
Despite the sheer effort she’d put into trying to kill herself, being under control of the brainwashing power of those videos … She managed to live. If only barely, she managed to live. She will never be the same. What she saw in those videos … did more to damage her then any of the wounds she inflicted upon herself. She is full of regret, full of anger, and… She is determined to keep living. If she’s alive, when her friends can’t be… she is determined to live. “If I’m alive, despite my efforts to kill me? Then I need to live. If not for me… then for them.”
She is not quite the same. She is damaged, slower, she has a lot more trouble making things. She has scars all over, emotionally and physically … And Ruruka will continue to stubbornly try to survive. And to make some sort of contribute to the slowly rebuilding world.
Recently brought into Hope’s Peak Academy’s class of 76, she is the Ultimate Confectionist. And as such? She is known to make many different types of candies, sweets, pastries, cakes – Desserts in general are her specialty. However? She does have a very particular personality. Feeling vulnerable, she tends to keep herself around her stronger friend, Izayoi … but? Having confidence issues, having her friend Seiko unable to eat her candies … hasn’t helped. This has made her a little bit bitter-sweet. Even if she understands what the other says, about being unable to eat them, it still is a blow to her confidence.
Ruruka Andou is a very busy woman. Often busy with scheduling, setting up meetings, as well as trying to meet with new local talents … You can say one thing for sure: She is one helluva manager. When she’s decided to take a personal interest in any particular talent, be it a singer, an artist, a musician… ? Whatever? If she’d decided to put her stamp of approval on them, she’ll be the first person to burst into any scene to try get the person she’s backing the support and advertisement she feels they deserve. She is the first to be at the scenes for good deals, the first to actively be looking for advertisement availability – signs, ads, commercials, etc. She is passionate about what she does, and who she helps. live.
Name ; Rikiya Andou
The Ultimate Confectionist and a former member of class 76, Rikiya is a strange young man. And, also, the current Head of Branch 8. He is strong willed, passionate, and confident in his abilities – However? Despite the confidence he shows, he is also somewhat fragile. He doesn’t trust people who have betrayed him. And? He is very slow to forgive a perceived offense. He frequently becomes nervous in life threatening situations, as he’s not willing to die, and because of that? He often finds himself half-hiding behind his stronger friends…
Ruruka has somehow survived the “DEATH GAME,” and? Has decided to leave the Future Foundation – Deciding, instead, to start her own group. She had mentioned wanted to do so, and after the carelessness of what happened? She had stated from the get go that she’d thought it was a bad idea for them all to be gathered, so? When things went wrong, she hadn’t been surprised. Now, the leader of a group she calls “DREAMS&DAYS,” a group that she has dedicated to helping fix the world in her own way. Perhaps it’s not as efficient as the Future Foundation had been … But as far as she’s concerned? They can shove it.
Gentle in appearance but quick to anger – Ruruka is actually one of the people who have been on Orsus for at least ten years now. In fact: She’s settled in pretty well! Making her own café and running it, more or less, on her own. ( She’s hired help here and there, but she often fires people… )
She is a young harpy by most standards. And? For the most part, she would prefer people don’t bring up her race at all. She tries to spend most of her time pretending that she isn’t a harpy… Though she considers herself a member of the Folk, she gets deeply offended when people bring up the stereotypes and history of her race. (After all: many legends call her race hideous and cruel – so?) Being a little over a hundred years old, she’s finally able to turn her wings into arms, and keep her talons into only sharpened nails. The only trait she is entirely unable to hide are her ears, which are feathered.
When surprised or angered, her eyes will flash a warning, predatory, yellow. And her teeth become jagged and sharpened – when she becomes her harpy form, she has control over wind and can summon storms. However? The fact that she’s uncomfortable with what she is, and she doesn’t like to pull attention to that fact? She has never learned to control these things.
