Update on your boy Connor (aka the bowlcut inkling you named): he has a girlfriend now! Her name is Seiko, and she's a sanitized rival octoling who escaped the metro shortly after the events of Octo Expansion. Connor met Seiko when he caught her mid-shoplifting at the clothing store he worked at, but he let her pass after learning about her situation. Also they're T4T and super cool 🏳⚧
Imagine being the klokateer or tailor that gets to measure Charles for his new suits. Mans popped a button right off his dress shirt mid session once. -brainrot anon
Everyone is so jealous of that klokateer too. Such a privilege to be able to have such a tender moment with Offdensen. He has them so often since he keeps getting heavier.
I imagine my Klokateer Oc Sandy with him a lot. He doesn’t mind that frequent remeasuring and is of course very professional with Charles, so much so that it starts making Charles feel flustered! A button popping in the middle of one of his many measuring would probably be embarrassing, but someone like Sandy would immidietly brushing it off like it’s no big deal. Shoddy tailorship. Just have to make sure his clothes are made right.
Anyway theyre all fucked in the head. It’ll make a lot of my text posts make sense lmao.
Sube: A college student who is majoring in linguistics. Has a lot of money and is able to afford an apartment with 6 rooms for him and his weird jackass roommates to live in. No one questions where he gets this money from, and is pretty lenient with his roommates. He is the quiet, observant type, but that is only a cover up. Once he’s around his friends he’s a trash talking, lean drinking degenerate who is constantly pondering the meaning of life. Is a trans man, struggles with body dysmorphia pretty badly. Plays the gee-tar to take his mind off his estranged family, money issues, no gf/bf, and weird roommates
Violet: A whore who works overnight shifts at a gas station. He is overly flirtatious and sleeps around as a means to get rid of stress. While promiscuous, he has a certain set of rules for who he actually ends up sleeping with that makes little sense to other people. He’s a trans man who is repressing his gender out of fear of ostracisation and straight up getting murdered. He sleeps with people because he feels that the only thing he’s really good for in life, as he wasn’t smart enough to go to college. Fantasies about being murdered, but doesn’t see anyone worthy of doing it to him
Mary: Unlikes their boisterous roommates, Mary is a timid, anxious mess of a person who never leaves the house. They act almost like a child, and are so repulsed by anything remotely sexual that they throw up at the mere notion of being seen in a sexual way. They are basically a hikikomori, as they spend most if not all their time inside, venturing out on rare occasions to meet up with people they met on the internet. If they do go outside they will dress head to toe and cover their face to avoid being perceived (which ironically, every one does bc the moron will dress like this in 90 degree weather). They enjoy doing tarot readings for money and playing with dolls. Has bad hallucinations that only get worse when they’re high, and see all of their roomates as strange entities rather than people.
Mark: A college dropout who, like Mary, spends most of his days inside. He makes money by moderating large discord servers. He cultivates marijuana to smoke while he bans people for posting memes in general. He streams video games, makes shitty tiktoks, and has a hidden knack for painting, which he finds out after getting mind numbingly high and finding that ramune bottles look sick as shit under LED lights. Has a massive collection of anime figures and vintage merch for bands and… anime. His room is a mess and he smells like shit.
Micheal: The oldest of the group. He works as an entertainment writer for a magazine that high lights night life, and his own column for erotic fiction. He’s an alcoholic, and spends a lot of his off time at a cabaret where his girlfriend Hifumi works. He has incredibly low self esteem, and trusts seemingly no one, mostly because he sees himself as stupid, and that anyone and everyone will take advantage of him when they realize how much of a sad push over he is.
Daichi: A former small-time yakuza grunt with a shit record to him. Works as a racing and fight club broker. Likes to put on a charming attitude to get himself in and out of shit, but ends up looking like a jackass anyway, which leads to him getting his ass beat. Enjoys guro/macabre art, enka music, karaoke, and crossdressing. Blew his pinky off in a meth lab explosion. Has line art of irezumi on his back
Violet: An underground ring fighter. Unlike the whore Violet, she’s a tall, stocky woman with broad shoulders and a gut that can fit a 2 whole rotisserie chickens and a 12 pack beer. She’s an aggressive alcoholic and starts fights with anyone that looks at her wrong. Despite all of her flaws and vices, she tries to make a constant effort into her relationship with Daichi. Secretly likes to be a bit of a girly girl.
Hifumi: A hostess at a cabaret club, also works as a model. She’s as cheery off stage as she is on, and is accepting and non-judgemental of everyone she speaks to. Despite being book dumb, she’s what most would consider a communist. She tries to keep her life from turning into some shitty drama, but she has a tendency to attract danger to herself. She’s Micheal’s girlfriend; god knows why
Hasao: Hifumi’s coworker, also works as a stripper. He’s a drag queen with a nasty attitude. He turns that nasty attitude into cash, insulting customers who want to be insulted by the gorgeous sailor boy with a mean pair of legs. He and Hifumi get into fist fights a lot. Like, bro, what the fuck is wrong with you? For real though, he’s a cunt.
Clair: a teenage girl with an affinity for stealing, setting stuff on fire, and pink stuff. She's very energetic and genki, and is like any other well adjusted teenage girl. However, she is a lot more adventurous and risky than other girls her age, willing to piss off the wrong people and going to places she doesn’t belong. She sees life as a video game; high risk and high reward. Always has headphones in when she walks around. Likes tangerines,100 gecs, cute japanese/korean snacks, hanging out with her group of girlbosses, and making trouble for her older brother. Likes to bother Daichi too for… whatever reason.
Evan: Clair’s older brother. He’s a chubby boy who's going to college for something his parents like and he doesn’t. Spends a lot of his time smoking pot and fucking random people. Despite being ugly asf (his dad calls him kappa), he’s pretty good with both men and women. Has to constantly keep an eye on Clair to make sure she’s not committing crimes that could keep her from getting into a good college. Likes listening to lo-fi, but since he hangs around Sube he has grown an affinity for metal and noise music.
Samantha: Astrology obsessed lesbian. Went to school for physics, and had a pretty decent job until that early onset schizophrenia set in. Mostly stable, but can’t work a regular 9-5 job. Likes to tinker with electronics, weaponry and pyrotechnics, and also studies the stars and planets.
Ann: A deaf indigenous teenager, chooses to communicate in sign language. His hair is always in braids and reaches down to his back. Hangs out with Samantha because he enjoys her radical views, and is more than happy to help her out when she’s having one of her ‘off’ days. They made up a form of sign language only they can understand
Junji: A commercial fisherman. Born in a small village, he speaks with a heavy accent and is the most pleasant person one could find themselves around. Always willing to lend a hand and talk for hours. He is incredibly stupid, and tends to let people walk all over him, but he’s so nice most people feel bad when they even think of using him, unless your name is Hasao. Has really bad ADHD, refuses to take medication.
Zhao: A chinese restaurant owner. Spent most of his youth fucking around and eventually got married to a woman in Thailand before their relationship turned sour. Now he’s just an angry old fuck. Makes killer dumpling though. His restaurant may violate several health codes but no one really cares about that, or his casual hatred from Daichi.
Lola: Ex-soldier. Got some decent money off a military job. She works at the docks with Junji and lives together with him. Her and Junji have somewhat of a friends with benefits thing going on, and love to have three ways with whoever agrees to join. She loves listening to metal and enjoys going to concerts. Absolute beast in a mosh pit. Pre op trans woman
Glow Worm: A DJ drag queen who likes selling hallucinogens. Hyper as fuck and likes to slather themselves in glow stick juice. Is into heavy BDSM, and is a switch. They’re Daichi’s friend and they go on days-long benders with him. They work with Kitty and Miss K, and in turn unknowingly sell themselves to Natasha.
Boss (Name Later): Metal head who walks around dressed like a stripper. Drives recklessly and commits assault at titty bars. Trans man. Runs a small gang that mostly deals with drugs. He’s affable when he’s not committing crimes, but yeah, that’s when he’s not committing crimes. He’s ruthless much like the other two gang leaders that he sees himself butting heads with. Whores himself out from time to time, and is really into fashion.
Natasha: your run of the mill syndicate leader. She’s a bitch, goes without saying as she runs a syndicate. At odds with Boss due to the drug market. Deals heavily in prostitution.
Kitty and Miss K: The bosses of the club Hifumi works at. Rich bitches. Kitty fancies herself ad the mommy dommy type with pink hair and a deep-v that puts Elvira to shame. Miss K got blue hair and pronouns, and gives off a sexy librarian vibe. Don’t let that fool you. They’re awful people. Like to pose as ‘model’ entertainers; IE, abuse their workers. They both work for Natasha by sending over a cut of what they make.
Sammy: An orphan Natasha took off the street. Is basically her secretary/surrogate son/Ipad operator. He puts up with all her bullshit. Friends with Ann.
Bunta: Oyabun of the yakuza clan Daichi was part of. He’s a sharply dressed man in his late 40’s, with a face that can make most people forget he’s a ruthless yakuza patriarch who only sees people as an end to a means. Dotes on his spoiled 17 year old daughter when he isn’t slicing people's arms off when the profits aren’t what they should be.
Kyoko: Bunta’s daughter. She’s spoiled rotten in every sense of the word and has no problem throwing her fathers name around, because he will kill ANYONE who gets in her way. Right Daddy? Where’s the keys to your spare bentley?
Yotsubashi: Bunta’s right hand man. Runs crystal meth labs, steals. Probably kills. Enjoys fine dining with chopsticks made out of jade. He also watches TLC, which somehow has Japanese subtitles. His apartment is gaudy as hell, covered with Gucci, and had several golden teeth in his mouth, purley for aesthetic reasons. He is Daichi’s former aniki. Likes to go and ‘bother’ him.
Noboru: Not affiliated with Bunta, but is just as annoying and dangerous. Runs a fight club and manages robotic idols. Chooses to remain ‘neutral’ on the gang warfare. The closest thing to Violet’s ‘Boss’, and uses her likeness to make his magnum opus.
Peachy: A simple farmer. Nothing wrong with this lovely pink haired maiden selling you the ripest peaches and bamboo shoots. Seriously, don’t fucking look in her back yard. There isn’t a recreation of the Chinese bamboo torutre method happening to a pair of samurai she stitched together back in the 1800’s. Seriously. You’re insane.
Mr. Sakamoto: One among many of the poverty stricken dregs of a post late stage capitalist society. Unlike others who still continue to fight against a system that is beyond broken, he spends most of his free time in dilapidated buildings, half naked and high on meth. He's quite hard to get along with, and most people, even other homeless people tend to avoid him, as he draws far too much attention from the overly aggressive police
Bunny: An anthropomorphic white rabbit who runs a clinic out of a van and is more or less Sakamoto’s babysitter. Is a communist and believes everything would be better if he just settled on a commune somewhere.
Sandy: Just a dude who likes going to death metal concerts and fucking shit up where ever he can. Works in setting up stage equipment and pyrotechnics. Probably gets into arguments with Samantha on /k/ without even realizing it. Dethklok stan, wants Nathan to bulge his stomach out. Hot hot hot. Is friends with Sakamoto for whatever reason that is
Ishiki: A handsome, sunkissed beach bum who thinks he’s the best thing on planet earth. Sleeps around a lot. He’s very aloof when it comes to other people, and would rather be left alone if he’s not having sex. Very hard to get a lot with. Has at least 9 of the 10 diagnostic requirements for being a narcissist.
Maeda: Another beach bum who spends most of his day lounging about on the beach under the nice warm sun and eating steamed crab. He’s also kinda a sarcastic dick but knows when to call it quits most of the time. While less of an asshole than Ishiki, his hedonism puts anyone else to shame. Huge ego and body, very confident and for good reason. He carries his weight well and is as beautiful as any model despite it. Favorite food is, surprisingly, okra.
Ryota: A yakuza grunt. He’s a lot more mellow than his boyfriend/sugarbaby Maeda, but still keeps that macho persona up whenever he’s around strangers. Just because he’s dressed in pink doesn’t make him any less of a certified yakuza badass! He prides himself in curating a perfect aesthetic of traditional japan and modern pastel kawaii culture. Has a baby pink irezumi on his back, and has a really bad gambling addiction.
Nanam and Ashimotoi: A drag queen who graduated from beauty school and has yet to find a job. He’s general pretty stupid and cries when people don’t pay attention to him. Ashimoto is his boyfriend, and is insanely protective over him.
