so after talking to kyu ( @siireniis ), both rokku and koto now have phantom casino verses! they link together, but i want to talk about them separately first. the only other thing to note is that they’re both a little older, rokku being nineteen and koto being twenty.
like in their canon verse, rokku was bullied during school, for everything and anything that people could think to pick on them for. still determined that they were going to be a hero, rokku still applied for ua but unlike in canon, they didn’t pass the entrance exam. disillusioned and certain that they could still be of use, rokku started putting their hacking knowledge combined with their quirk into practice and started working as a vigilante.
through this work, they heard about the phantom casino. having somewhere that they would be accepted, somewhere that valued their quirk and abilities, sounded like the best thing rokku could imagine, and so they made their way there and introduced themselves to zach by breaking into his office.
somehow, this didn’t put him off letting them stay.
rokku spends most of their time hunched behind screens, digging up information on anyone and everyone that zach asks them to. if you want access to somewhere or something, rokku is the person to ask, although anyone other than zach has to work a little harder to convince them to do it. a bag of candy usually works wonders.
judged and mistrusted her entire life, koto always felt pushed aside and alone. once she turned twenty and was old enough to gamble, she found her way into the phantom casino and began doing the only thing people had ever thought that her quirk was good for, and began playing - and winning huge amounts at - poker.
her quirk allowed her to know when people were bluffing, and koto quickly racked up a reputation as the best poker player. her skills didn’t go unnoticed, either, and she was soon pulled up for cheating. it took some convincing on her part to get zach to trust that she really was just using her quirk, but once she did she found herself a new home. she’s able to help weed out cheaters, inform zach of anyone being deceitful or if they’re being honest, as well as compel someone to tell the truth if he needs it.
koto doesn’t get to play much anymore, but she’s finding that her new role is much better anyway.
between the two of them, there is no information that can escape. trying to hide anything in the casino impossible with the information brokers around.
