Aaron Kennedy Title: Ultimate LARPer Gender | Pronouns: Male (He/Him) Height: 6’4” Weight: 219 lbs | 99 kg Age: 21 Nationality: American Birthday: July 24th Blood Type: AB Likes: Fairy Tales, Medieval Weaponry, Breakfast Foods, Mice Dislikes: Paperwork, Guns, Know-It-Alls, Birds Bio:

A Scottish-American boy with an unquenchable love for the hobby of LARPing, also known as Live Action Role Play. He has appeared as an extra in several cinematic productions in the fantasy genre, but has always preferred LARP events throughout America over acting on camera. He is known in the LARPing circles as Ser Aaron, The Dragon Knight, loyal warrior of King Drake. There is a lot of mystery surrounding King Drake, and since there seems to be a silent agreement between all LARPers to keep his identity hidden, rumor has it that King Drake is an actual dragon… As the Ultimate LARPer, one of his unmistakable traits is that he rarely ever breaks character. He is known to be boisterous, kind and a little bit of a pushover, but will rush to aid anyone in distress and swears to protect the innocent from tyranny. However, this is only a persona, and it is hard to determine how much of his character reflects his true self. The rare witness claims he is actually quite a calm and passive individual, but that could all be hearsay...

And with that, all the characters for DRD:EE have been revealed! Or, most of them, at least... ;) Stay tuned for more information and a teaser trailer coming soon!

Abigail Pierce Title: Ultimate Huntress Gender | Pronouns: Female (She/Her) Height: 5’0” Weight: 133 lbs | 60 kg Age: 19 Nationality: South African Birthday: August 7th Blood Type: O Likes: Knives, Meat, Showing Off, Travelling Dislikes: Loud Noises, Small Spaces, Being Short, Men Bio:

A South African huntress who has been the face of several anti-poaching initiatives throughout Africa. Abigail has put a lot of her own time, effort and resources towards conservation efforts throughout the world. She participates annually in hunts required for population control, combats smugglers, whalers and exotic traders, returns orphaned animals to sanctuaries, and has even protected natural reserves in areas of active conflict to make sure the battles did not affect local ecosystems. Despite her noble and successful initiatives, she has gained a dangerous reputation throughout the world. She has retained her position as Ultimate through sheer talent and action alone, because as anyone who has interacted with her will tell you, she is an awful conversationalist. She is foulmouthed, mean, aggressive, selfish and has no manners to speak of at all. She has gotten in trouble for threatening violence against people several times, and even in her noble pursuits she has been known to get… vicious. Conservationists worldwide appreciate her… but preferably from a distance.

Only one character left to reveal!

Daisuke Kanzaki [神崎 大輔] Title: Ultimate Store Clerk Gender | Pronouns: Male (He/Him) Height: 5’11” Weight: 157 lbs | 71 kg Age: 23 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: January 6th Blood Type: AB Likes: Quiet, Energy Drinks, Paychecks, Family Dislikes: Karens, Messy Rooms, Drama, Vegetables

Bio:

A store clerk who has worked at a local grocery store named “Chou Chou Mart” for over 8 years, Daisuke has been named Employee of the Month every month since he started there. He has brought great renown to his establishment and many competitors have tried to convince him to work for them, offering exceedingly high salaries. However, the owner of Chou Chou has refused to let Daisuke leave, as this clerk has become the only employee needed to manage the store for years, saving the owner significant amounts in expenditures. He is from quite a large but poor family, and claims he uses most of his earnings to support the wellbeing of his numerous siblings and family members. He comes across as tired and dismissive, but is an extremely fast and productive worker with seemingly no need for rest. Not only that, but his customer service tone is so perfect it’s near unsettling, and his smile is renowned for its effectiveness.

Thea Thompson Title: Ultimate Deep Sea Diver Gender | Pronouns: Female (She/Her) Height: 5’10” Weight: 152 lbs | 69 kg Age: 21 Nationality: Australian Birthday: November 19th Blood Type: B Likes: Manatees, History, Pretty People, Electro Music Dislikes: Arguments, Gore, Being Ignored, Seafood Bio

An Australian girl who gained local renown in diver’s associations for-- after some testing done by Australian scientists-- being able to withstand incredible amounts of pressure and hold her breath for long periods of time through special diving techniques she developed as a teenager. After the discovery of her talent, she has been deployed on many recovery expeditions across the oceans, even joining teams in the exploration of the Titanic and the search for Amelia Earheart’s lost plane. She is bubbly and unruly, known for being active in the Australian nightlife and fond of parties. She has been known to crash parties she wasn’t invited to, including special exclusive events, and turn them into absolute ragers within hours. This has gained her plenty of popularity with the young adult demographic, though it draws the ire of the older, distinguished members of her field. Despite her chaotic disposition and her flirty way of speaking, she is reliable and knowledgeable and will always help out a friend in need.

Kojin Haku [白玖 胡人] Title: Ultimate Toy Doctor Gender | Pronouns: Male (He/Him) Height: 6’7” Weight: 298 lbs | 135 kg Age: 25 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: June 28th Blood Type: A Likes: Making People Smile, Cooking, Fireplaces, Cocktails Dislikes: Talking About His Past, Being Called Old, Yelling, Public Speaking Bio:

In most circles, Kojin is known only as The Toy Doctor, keeping his identity and face hidden from the world as he performs toy-based miracles for kids nationwide. He restores toys and stuffed animals to their former glory, leaving them softer and warmer than ever before, and runs a popular blog with pictures of his work accompanied by cute comments. Though the blog is cutesy and gentle, the man who runs it is large and scarred with a quiet disposition and a menacing look on his face. He refuses to talk about his past, and prefers to sit quietly by the sideline as others take the lead in conversation. However, below that intimidating surface lies a heart of solid gold. He loves nothing more than bringing comfort, and putting a smile on people’s faces. Some even claim he is a wizard, imbuing the toys he makes with comforting magic.

Aiko Takahaya [早 愛子] Title: Ultimate Stenographer Gender | Pronouns: Female (She/Her) Height: 4’9” Weight: 99 lbs | 45 kg Age: 24 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: July 15th  Blood Type: A Likes: Gossip, Fashion, Pastels, Literature Dislikes: Secrets, Rejection, Waiting, Dairy Bio:

A determined, catty girl who has an incredible talent for stenography, the shorthand script used in courtroom transcripts. She has sat in on many important court cases, and is familiar with the justice system because of that. Her typing speed is unmatched, although she has a bad habit of being vocal about her own assessments on who the guilty parties are in the trials she witnesses. Though her initial impression is loud and bright, her attitude can be quite bleak. She’s known for being pessimistic and is very judgmental of all but those closest to her. Still, she’s got a good deal of common sense and has no problem berating people when they let their emotions get the better of them. She tries hard at everything she does, whether it’s transcribing conversations or lending a helping hand. Maybe, behind that catty exterior, there is a good heart...

Destiny Suzuki  [鈴木] Title: Ultimate Oneirologist Gender | Pronouns: Demigirl (She/They) Height: 5’6” Weight: 169 lbs | 77 kg Age: 23 Nationality: American-Japanese Birthday: September 12th  Blood Type: AB Likes: Dreams, Naps, Abstract Art, Hugs Dislikes: Being Cold, Mean People, Super Sweet Stuff, Darkness

Bio: A Japanese-American girl with a wildly successful academic career in the field of psychology and oneirology, the study of dreams. Despite being a graduate student, she’s participated in a large amount of groundbreaking research with the top names in sleep and dream studies. She’s conducted many independent literature reviews and written various essays on both historical and current understanding of sleep and dreams, with some of her work being referenced by other studies. Part of her interest in this field might come from her apparent hobby of napping, which she spends most of her free time doing. Though she comes across as laid back and a bit out of it, she actually has a strong personality, which she isn’t afraid to use when people need to be whipped into shape and research deadlines are looming. Of course, she always prefers a nice hug over giving orders, but some people just don’t listen...

Youta Yoshida [吉田 陽太] Title: Ultimate Yo-yoer Gender | Pronouns: Male (He/Him) Height: 5’3” Weight: 112 | 51 kg Age: 19 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: December 21st Blood Type: O Likes: Yo-yos, Action Movies, Vaporwave, Ice Cream Dislikes: Mornings, Heights, Sitting Still, Coffee

Bio: Youta is known locally as the Yo-yo Master, and holds the title of Champion in several yo-yo contests held nationally. He has heralded several tricks of his own, and has given yo-yos a new surge of popularity with kids. He’s also popular online for his strange, colorful sense of fashion and his horrible, horrible luck. Aside from that, he doesn’t seem to have much going for him. He’s a teen with a very particular talent, which puts him on the covers of magazines but doesn’t provide him with much other than a reputation. He doesn’t seem to let that get to him, however. He is proud of his title and passion, and his infectious energy attracts people to his social media accounts to watch his antics. He is regarded as jovial, energetic, sweet and in general a source of joy for those who might feel down. Not everyone appreciates his popularity, though; some regard him as annoying, obnoxious and a bad influence for the youth. All in all, he doesn’t seem to pay those people any mind. He’s just happy to be here.

Beta designs are back! 6 left to go! :)

[drdown-edgeoferebus]

Hello there!

For those of you wondering where the two weekly uploads have been this week, our current artist for beta designs is undergoing an extremely busy finals period, and is going to be preoccupied for the next week or two. Our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience, but we must prioritize a healthy schedule, especially since this is a volunteer project we are doing for fun! I hope you’ll understand, see you in a week or two for more designs!

[Redacted] (AKA Red) Cordova Title: Ultimate Virologist  Gender | Pronouns: Female (She/Her) Height: 5’5” Weight: 146 lbs | 66 kg Age: 21 Nationality: Filipino Birthday: October 2nd  Blood Type: A Likes: Snacks, Soft Things, Fireplaces, Lo-Fi Dislikes: Bullies, Her Body, Technology, Violence Bio:

A quiet, mysterious girl who no one seems to know much about, including her full name. She’s recognized as an expert virologist, but it’s difficult to find information on what exactly she’s contributed to the field. She says her work is highly specialized and usually done for classified government programs, but who knows what her research has led to, or what she is trying to achieve... On a cursory glance there is something menacing about her. Her monochrome fashion, her long, black hair, her lean frame and her tendency to isolate herself. She looks like a real life vengeful spirit. However, those who try to talk to her will find out that she seems more anxious than threatening, panicked even. She seems confused and scared. What could have happened to this strange girl?

Back to beta designs! Keep an eye out, we’re planning to start recruiting more staff soon~!

[drdown-edgeoferebus]

There won’t be a beta design uploaded today, apologies for the delay!

[drdown-edgeoferebus]

Happy birthday (or ...hatch day?) to Izanagi Gonja, Ultimate Telemarketer!

Shion Matsuoka [松岡 紫苑] Title: Ultimate Nature Artist Gender | Pronouns: Male? (He/Him) Height: 5’10” Weight: 134 lbs | 60 kg Age: 23 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: February 23rd Blood Type: AB Likes: Nature, Folk Tales, Conceptual Art, Dresses Dislikes: Conflict, The Status Quo, Cold Weather, Cars Bio:

Known as the black sheep of the affluent business-focused Matsuoka Family, Shion is an artist through and through. People find it hard to read him, as his interviews provide strange perspectives and cryptic words and understanding his work requires a lot of… thinking outside the box. He is well known by critics, who argue for weeks over the true meanings of his installations. Collectors are willing to pay exorbitant prices to get their hands on one of his pieces, but he refuses most offers, choosing only a select few to possess his works and donating most of them. Shion has always maintained his stance that he is not interested in art for fame or money. He simply has a love for nature and its unmatched beauty, and every work he creates has been in an effort to capture its tranquility, or so he claims. He is optimistic and has his head in the clouds, preferring the company of sunlight and flower fields over that of people. A mysterious person, and one who has piqued the interest of many.

Usagi Mochizuki [望月 うさぎ] Title: Ultimate Hoaxer Gender | Pronouns: Female (She/Her) Height: 5’9” Weight: 144 lbs | 65 kg Age: 22 Nationality: Japanese Birthday: February 13th Blood Type: B Likes: Horror, Puzzles, Anime, Ramen Dislikes: Silence, Doctors, Not Having Control, Flowers Bio

On the island of Okinawa, a mysterious creature once stalked the coast, picking up trash and leaving a strange slimy, stinky trail in its wake. Known as the Okinawa Katamari, rumors soon popped up all over the net about what this cryptid could possibly be, along with some blurry photos of the tangly blob sliding along the sidestreets. After several months, the truth was revealed-- the Okinawa Katamari was the creation of Japanese college student Usagi Mochizuki, who dressed up as the creature and cleaned the streets while having a bit of fun. Despite being an Ultimate, not many actually know of her beyond this particular stunt. To most, she is an average girl with a strong mischievous streak. However, to certain secretive online forums, she is known as RabbitHole, a master of costume creation and video editing. She is responsible for several viral hoaxes, creating cryptids and urban legends that spread like wildfire. When it comes down to it, she is nothing but a harmless prankster who enjoys creating chaos and confusion in creative ways. Though many have seen her actions as malicious, most appreciate the craftsmanship of her work. Usagi is unreliable and hard to predict, but anyone with a sense of humor is someone she’ll respect.
