Ace Trappola:
"hi there I'm ace." "common pick a card." "hey there's no reason to be so suspicious." "oh haha I totally forgot about all of this."
Ace is an amazing liar that he actually can fool every single person on the bus and did so for a long time. Ace though is relatively normal. Or that's at least how he appears. Ace’s personality stays consistent throughout the entire time he’s stayed with everyone so it can be argued that perhaps he’s not faking his personality. He’s someone who keeps his cards close to his chest. So he is actually really good at gambling. Not a big surprise considering he’s from around J corp.
Ace has a semi automatic pistol. A gun. Ace knows it’s not a perfect weapon. He knows guns can be ineffective against strong opponents. Ace is very aware of that fact. It’s just that Ace is still searching for his perfect weapon. Substituting it for a gun for now.
Ace is a refreshing change of pace being a bit of a trickster with no actual harmful intentions. Often wanting to lighten up the mood when on long bus rides. He knows though there is a place and time for teasing others. Often choosing his words carefully when he unfortunately strikes a nerve. Unfortunately, Ace can't catch a break sometimes and often finds himself in trouble.
Favorite of bus crew: Dante is too easy to tease and kinda needs it? They seem kinda glum most of the time and Ace can't help but to alleviate some of Dante’s burden. Ace and Dante actually end up getting really close to each other.
Least favorite of bus crew: Ryōshū freaks Ace out. And her way of talking is annoying and hard to understand. It also doesn't help that she is the person who kills Ace the most. Yes, Heathcliff is just barely under Ryōshū in that category. Ace has a running tally and whoever is at the highest Ace hates the most. Often just being a bit of the dick to them in return for killing him so much.
What there Unique magic translated into: Joker snatch Ace’s unique magic… I’m going to be digging myself into a hole with this section. Screw it! The spell magic steals another person's unique magic and lets Ace use it himself. The best way to incorporate this with project moon’s setting is to have Ace be every analytic and be able to use any still he wants from his opponent. That's how it will be translated.
Sinner description: this sinner is an enigma. Due to this sinner’s near supernatural ability to lie. It’s wondered whether or not the sinner’s personality is his personality at all. Keep wary of this sinner.
Canto summary: Ace used to live in J corps nest one day he did something that hurt his older brother a lot and got him arrested. This is the result of Ace’s repression of his past and his lying mind. As a result I’d also like to address he’s probably going to be the first of all the sinner cantos.
Deuce spade:
“Hey there! I’m Deuce.” “you want to say that to my face, bastard.” “Let's try not to fight guys!” “... I don't care, my greatest regret is not killing IT.”
Deuce can be shockingly calm for someone who used to be a part of a syndicate. Deuce tries to be as calm as possible. it’s a bit too easy to rile him up, and get him mad though. Often ending in intense fights. Between Deuce, and whoever pissed him off. Deuce normally is embarrassed by his temperament and ashamed of himself afterwards. He’s been trying to not be as bad as he is, but something always seems to set him off in one way or another. Other than that Deuce is extremely polite trying to be as curious as possible. It has varying degrees of success since Deuce’s upbringing was not the best.
Nothing beats knuckle dusters as a weapon. These knuckles are engraved with different spades all around having huge spade-like spikes on the knuckles. Deuce has mixed feelings about his weapon. He’s kept this weapon by his side for a very long time. Having it even while he was a part of the syndicate. Yet at the same time it has a bit too much weight to it. Feeling just a bit heavier than before.
Aside from his temper issues Deuce is a very nice person. Keeping himself from getting in trouble too much. Always starting light hearted conversation and trying to keep spirits high. Though with the things Deuce has seen he can only say so much. For now though Deuce keeps himself personable and kind. He has gained some ire from the other sinners but he’s determined to be as he describes a “good person”.
Favorite of bus crew: is it weird I see Deuce and Meursault? Like Deuce talks to Meursault and Meursault just lesions. That is to say I don't think Meursault has any strong opinions on Deuce as a person, but I do think that Deuce would see Meursault as a friend.
Least favorite of bus crew: I’d think Yi sang. That's not to say Deuce hates Yi sang. It’s just he doesn't understand Yi sang? He is just very quiet and reserved. Deuce just feels really awkward starting conversations with Yi sang because of that.
What there Unique magic translated into: dudes I had a hard time coming up with something for Deuce. Because his magic is hyper specific in the context of a non magical setting. So I’m just going to dip into gameplay here and say he has a unique counter guard. That his counter takes the value of his opponents and doubles it. (shockingly could be very balanced.)
Sinner description: this sinner has been struck with trouble for a long time. Having been originally a part of a syndicate. Being born in the back streets it’s a shock that this sinner tries to be as courteous as possible. Make sure to praise this sinner when possible since this sinner seems to respond well to praise.
Canto summary: Deuce was a part of a syndicate that was just taking off. Deuce made a name for himself becoming a very high ranking member. It was a syndicate like the middle. Deuce used his knuckle dusters as his main weapon here for a long time. Their syndicate was gaining traction. That was until their leader ended up distorting, the distortion’s effect made everyone extremely violent. people who considered each other comrades, and bothers started beating each other to death. It was a long cruel battle that ended only when Deuce beat the group's former leader. By then though it was too late. Deuce was the only member to survive. The distortion had fled before Duce could kill it. It is Deuce’s greatest regret to not be strong enough to kill the distortion that destroyed his community.
Trey clover:
“Oh I’m Trey. It's a pleasure to be meeting you. I hope we can all get along.” “Hey now let's all calm down now al- Ugh!” “Please I’m not all great, I just want to help out.” “understand that sometimes people just help other people for no other benefit than it makes them feel good.” “... ah I see.”
Trey is surprisingly nice. He has always had this big brother aura about him. That dares some of the younger acting of the Limbus cast to him. He helps stand up for sinclair. Even if it gets him killed. But who cares if he gets to come back. And if Trey’s death helps another person just get a little heat off of them Trey will take it. Trey isn’t suicidal he only dose this because he knows he’s going to come back.
Weapon: I’d think it would be a large kitchen knife. Kinds like the vorpal blade from Alice madness returns. I think fits with Heartslabyul’s whole themeing, and Trey as a character. He’s as skilled as any other sinner. So to say he’s only good enough to not die instantly. Yet could never hope to actually beat someone competent.
An odd person even by backstreet standards. Rodion comments on this as well. He’s too polite, too courteous, it’s that he’s so unassuming that it circles back to being alarming. Serval of the sinners are off put by his behavior. Vergilius even keeps an eye on him. His odd behavior includes the following: doing things that would benefit others without expecting anything in return. Dying for another person's sake. Trying to prevent fights by acting as a mediator (to varying degrees of success). collecting the teeth of those who he has killed in battle.
Favorite of bus crew: it’s celery from how often he stands up for Sinclair he must like the guy right? At least Sinclair seems to think so. Seeing Trey almost like the older brother he’s never had. Though Sinclair seems to never want to actually talk in private with Trey. seems that Sincler has taken the other sinners advice to heart and is somewhat distrustful of Trey.
Least favorite of bus crew: Trey he tends to fight a bit with heathcliff. The two are on opposite sides of the spectrum with Trey being the kind of guy grandma's gush over and call a “sweet young man.” while heathcliff is the power opposite who is seen as a danger to society. It’s a shame since Trey seems to want to get along with heathcliff.
What their Unique magic translated into: Trey can make almost anything taste sweet. It’s called a “secret family recipe.” by Trey. making Trey the only and best baker out of all the sinners.
Sinner description: do not trust this sinner’s factoid. This sinner while having lived in a nest for most of his life. Was born in the backstreets of district 23. This sinner puts on a pleasant act for others to fall victim to. Never be in a room alone with this sinner. You should also not call this sinner out on his act. Since it could lead to a violent confrontation.
Canto summary: traveling to distract 23 and finding themselves in front of a restaurant. Trey is uncharacteristically quiet as the group enters a restaurant. As the group fights off waves of chiefs and find the L corp branch under the restaurant. Trey’s truth is revealed. Trey’s family ran a bakery in district 23. The family’s secret ingredient in all of their sweets was human flesh. Trey’s family found a way to make the porky meat of human taste sweet. Serving some of the beast sweets around.soon there talents for making actually good food was found by a K corp staff member. They were offered a place in the nest and jumped at the opportunity. Yet Trey’s family could no longer easily get away with cooking people. Their sweets don't taste the same without human. So Trey did the unthinkable. He decided to put on a persona that would disarm people. One that would allow them to go to a secluded place where Trey could harvest their meat and no one would be the wiser. Trey was caught one day, but the damage was done. Too many people went missing and his family had to close their bakery due to the lack of customers. Trey never wanted to move, if they stayed in the backstreets none of this would have happened. Trey was his family’s downfall and now they have to face the image of the sevens association fixer who caught him in the act.
Cater diamond:
"Yo I’m Cater! You must be the manager. I’m liking the new head.” "#super lame. I'm just embarrassed being around you." "Oi there not JUST clones. There actually another version of me." "Hey Ruyōshu can you deal with the extras please?"
Always has a basic knowledge on certain topics. Having been an information broker before he joined the Limbus company. He actually had his fighters in a lot of pies, making him both hated and favored by certain people. Having given information about the cretan group to other groups. He actually has so much information that he has knowledge on some of the wing's patients. Making him a very dangerous man. So when he asks you something, be wary because he makes sure to remember all the information in case he needs to use it against you.
He has many different kinds of weapons that he uses. Some of the most common being daggers, swords, and in some cases a stun gun. Often switching between them all on the fly in order to keep his foes guessing at his next move. All his weapons have a diamond shape on them. He tries to be as unpredictable as possible. So Cater tends to be bad in a fight alone; he is rarely alone in a fight though.
Cater and Ryōshū can have full conversations using just abbreviations and acronyms. Sinclair can get lost in all of it. And cant always translate. If Cater is feeling nice he might translate some of Ryōshū’s acronyms. Sinclair tries to translate the two but Cater just tells him not to since it is more fun if the others struggle.
Cater tends to distance himself from most of the sinners. He doesn't know when someone might die, it’s become more complicated with the revival stuff, but that requires Dante to be alive so Cater isn't counting on anyone, hee seems fine with being closer to Dante then most though, that could just be the fact that Dante is why he is alive in the first place. Otherwise he keeps all his friendships at arm's length the moment Dante dies Cater is ready to jump ship. He’s even packed for that occasion having everything he owns in two luggage bags.
Favorite of bus crew: Ryōshū and him get along like the city and violence. The two could even be seen as close to some, yet it's clear she’s just as close as everyone else to cater. The two just get along. He often asks Ryōshū to kill his clones for him. And she tends to oblige these requests. Cater doesn't feel remorse seeing his clones die, he considers his clones' life his own so he gets to choose whether they die or not. Ryōshū is a great asset to Cater in that sense.
Least favorite of the bus crew: he doesn't like Meursault, the guy is an open book that has pages glued together. Cater can't get anything useful out of Meursault. Meursault doesn't have any reason to talk to Cater. Meursault basically like talking to a bank wall to Cater. There's something you want under it but you only get a peak once in a while. So Cater has to deal with that on his team.
What their Unique magic translated into: Cater’s unique magic split card translated interestingly. So in the city Cater, using his knowledge of the patients, has made a device that can instantly clone himself. He tends to use these clones as body doubles and to get out of any harry situations, he was by his own words. “Uniquely adapted to seeing himself die so being brought back isn't any different.” These are Full copies of Cater with blood and flesh. And a few have actually gotten out and survived. They tend to end up doing their own thing. Cater HATES this. They can mess up plans and ruin his reputation alongside many other things. He’s seen one with family before, he did not feel anything when killing it. It’s his life after all. He does use these clones in combat in order to gain a numbers advantage.
Sinner description: this sinner likes to keep everyone at arm's length. waiting for the day he has to leave them in the dust, due to his former occupation. He’s also gained information on a variety of topics if any other sinner doesn't have an answer to one of your questions he will. If this sinner asks for payment for any information it’s advised to remind him that he is contracted and works under you. If he still doesn't give you information it’s advised to take a more physical approach to this issue.
Canto summary: Cater has multiple bounty on his head especially in some districts. His Canto sees him go back to one of these districts, the same one where he killed a Clone of himself that had a family. It was actually the first clone he had made, yet it later revealed that the clone survived, and Cater had not only tried to kill the clone but kill its family as well. Now the clone had come back to avenge its lost family. Cater has to come to terms with the fact that his clones aren't his life anymore. When they leave him they become their own person and only have his face. In a climatic battle where the clone had made its own cloning device. Cater loses who is his enemy and who is his friend in the end of all of it. The last cater alive in the end of it is killed by the sinners and Dante brings Cater back. Although he isn't the one who was last. Finding out that he died to himself and wasn't the last Cater comes to terms that he can't run away anymore. He has to face his problems head on instead of running away.
Riddle Rosehearts:
“Riddle 13’th sinner, it’s nice to meet you manager.” “SHUT UP!!!!” “If you break a rule you must be punished for it, no exceptions are made.” “er not you manager! you're our boss, your orders are absolute.” “Shut up! My mother must be right if she wasn't then- then-!”
Riddle is a stickler for rules. Even going as far as to kill other sinners for barking the slightest rule. He’s also the only person who knows EVERY SINGLE rule of the city. More specifically, every single rule for every single wing/nest. That is an accomplishment that almost no one can do. It’s also why he kills anyone who breaks them. It’s because for the way that these rules are that Riddle knows that these rules end in death. So with every minor misstep Riddle kills the sinner since he doesn't want to be associated with them.
I am going to keep running along with Riddle’s queen of hearts theme. And give Riddle a golden battle axe. Like a grate axe. This thing is taller than Riddle is. I also wanted it to have a particularly large blade for that “beheading” effect for when Riddle fights or uh “corrects” other sinners. Pray for Dante’s sanity.
There is only one sinner that's close to how fast it is to anger Riddle. Yes it’s heathcliff why do you ask? Riddle is always on a short fuse. To say barking a rule angers Riddle is to call a tsunami a wave. Riddle is LIVED when a rule is broken. His anger is often misplaced and ignoring justifications. Insults do anger him greatly, yet it's more verbal than physical. And often ends in Riddle’s own death then another person’s death.
Favorite of bus crew: Ouits, by a very LONG shot. These two only kinda get along. With the most between the two being mutual respect. They are not friends more like acquaintances, but they do have a positive view on eachother. The two of them also look up to the executive manager. Ishaml has called both of them out on their boot licking, but frankly both do not care.
Least favorite of bus crew: let’s not beat a dead horse and say Heathcliff. Though that would be Riddle’s least favorite. Let’s add diversity! And say Hong Lu. Hong Lu and Riddle actually come from similar backgrounds. Only difference being Riddle is an only child. So with how brazen Hong Lu comes off. Not only does Hong Lu break more than his fair share of rules without seemingly knowing it. He’s also someone that insults Riddle the most. The two met once in the past, but Hong Lu always has something to say about Riddle's current condition.
What their Unique magic translated into: off with your head in Twisted wonderland prevents the affected from using their magic. Hope I did well in its transition. Riddle has extensive knowledge on medicine and everything K corp. So with this knowledge he’s able to heal a variety of status ailments, poisons and albe to even in some cases mess with his opponents technology. (IE his base identity would have a skill that could not only cure status ailments but remove enemy buffs like charge.) for Riddle these trivial tasks, and why he’s lived as long as he has.
Sinner description: this sinner suffers from extreme anger issues, and is very stubborn. He has been informed that some rules may not apply to his new job. Giving the executive manager some leeway in controlling his temper. Given the sinner's past it’s not likely that he will go against authority. So you should be safe from any ire he would normally have against you. Give out clear orders, and this inner will complete them with no questions.
Canto summary:Riddle had lived in his house under his mothers tyrannus rule for so long. His monster was someone who held a high poseton a K corp. So Riddle was expected to be able to do outlandish things at a young age. He had to study all day and memorize rules all night. Riddle’s mother even provided stimulants for Riddle to keep him awake. He was isolated for most of his childhood. That was until he met a boy around his age and a cat. The boy had convinced Riddle to play with him and the cat. Riddle for months would sneak out of the house during the little free time he had to play with his new friends. It wasn't until the other boy had invited him to eat a pastry with him at their bakery that Riddle lost track of time. Riddle’s mom found out about Riddle’s rule breaking. Riddle’s mother became forceful and locked Riddle inside her house's basement forcing him to re-read every single rule in the book. Riddle had been in the basement for two weeks until he came to an epiphany. He was unhappy and angry, he was resentful of his mother for forcing expectations that were impossible to reach. Riddle then grabbed the decorative axe his mother had hanging in the front hall. Riddle remembered something he once saw in a book. He wanted to test it out himself. Using his mom as a test subject Riddle found out that the head does blink for a second after death. That is if the manger and sinners can beat Riddle’s mother in combat.
