Kisaragi Shintaro
kagerou project
※ main ship : shinaya
※ side ship : kuroshin
An apathetic, stoic, I-don’t-care guy before meeting one Tateyama Ayano who changed his life. Was on the verge of taking his life away if it weren’t for the efforts of the people who surrounded him, careful to open his shell and expose him to the world. Considered a genius due to his high level IQ; a walking know-it-all dictionary-slash-encyclopedia and the voice of reason in the group.
⌲ EIGHTEEN YEARS, A BOY NO STRONGER.
( default )
[ ROUTE 01 ]
A NEET in two years after Ayano’s death. apparently, meeting Ene became a turning point in his life, leading him to meet a group of supposedly dead kids called Mekakushi Dan. His views on life improved, he became a healthy, normal human being who have a heart for others; able to live his life, looking forward without delving in the past; received ‘favoring eyes’ from Ayano.
✄ EIGHTEEN YEARS, KIND NO LONGER.
[ Route XX ]
Ayano’s death proved to make something in him snap. Guilt and regrets of his choices in treatment to his former classmate bothered him and pushed him to break more than he ever was before meeting her, driving him to resort to self-harm and attempted suicides so to punish himself. Became more distant and inhospitable; pushing everyone away out of his life; unstable, capable of thinking too logically.
[ Route ?? ]
An extended route of XX. Loses his humanity and turns into a monster, a machine, after seeing his friends die again and again. Ruthless and cold; unemotional, calculative, manipulative; shows sadism in seeing suffering and agony.
ONE MAN’S TRASH, ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE

Wherein Shintaro got to meet and be with the group due to Ayano’s influence.
Thanks to Ene destroying his keyboard for the millionth time, he had to go out and die under the heat of the sun, meeting a lost kid in the process and treating him with an ice cream. Eight year old Jules is adorable back then (or so what he thinks) and can relate to him in more than one ways; eventually, Shintaro couldn’t help but to stand as an older brother figure.
[ Set in Route 01; no powers ]
Twenty-six year old Shintaro stuck under one roof with one eighteen year old Jules. A legal guardian, parent and older brother, three-in-one. Ten years of making peace with oneself and certain people proved to be fruitful; he finished his studies, earned a legal job in a techno company, sometimes worked for the government, created apps for illegal uses for a hobby, and got to babysit a teenager in his own apartment. Financially, self-supporting, supporting others, independent-capable, but still a virgin and pining for someone who he’s been missing for years.
YEARS RUN BY AND I’M LIVING WITH YOUR SHADOW
[ Set in Route 01; no powers ] : AU relationship | supporting impertinxnt‘s verse with sxgekihei
Acquaintances then good friends with Ayano Tateyama back in middle school to high school, where due to her clumsiness and unawareness, he always had to look after her, always tagging with her wherever she goes. In exchange, she was able to let him meet a lot of people, namely their upperclassmen and her family, even prompting him to join their small kids’ club. Eventually, Ayano had to move away after they graduated with reasons unknown to him and Shintaro never got to see her again…or so, when they crossed paths once in college and then, an awful lots of times in the real world.
