Seven Warnings Concerning Quay


1. He is not your friend.
Nothing personal mind you. No one is. You’re either his underling, his pawn or his victim. On occasion, one might be classified as a ‘lover’ as well, but you’d be quite mistaken to assume this as something that also involves emotional attachment or affection. (Love in particular is a laughable waste of time.) Quay is to humanity as puppeteer is to his marionette, as far as he’s concerned- you’re only there for his convenience or amusement.


2. Life is a game.
And there are no rules, despite how much disagreement this may garner. Those who haven’t realized this yet do make for easy (if occasionally boring) prey, but any ill fate that befalls them can’t be blamed on anything more than their own blinded vision. Though quite skilled and manipulating the game play and participants (ie, everyone else) to suit his own needs, he’ll rarely pass on any opportunity to benefit at someone else’s expense.

Seven Quirks of Shikai


1. He will not call you by your name.
Unless absolutely necessary to make it clear he’s addressing you and not one of the other fifty people standing around you. It’s not that he doesn’t know your name, because he does. Actually he knows your social security, driver’s license, credit card numbers (being a hacker and all) and just about anything else about you too. If you’re lucky, he’ll give you a generic nickname though. If you’re really, REALLY lucky he’ll give you an entire dictionary of names too offensive to say out loud if you piss him off.


2. Needless to say, he is not a people person.
Unlike his brother Jinsei who loves just about anyone he’s ever met, Shikai does not get attached to anyone easily. He won’t talk to you unless he has a good reason to. And that reason is not because he enjoys your company or that his social meter is low. He can (and has) gone for years without ever speaking to anyone, and he’s fine with that. He’ll probably forget you exist the second your leave his view. It’s nothing personal mind you, he’s just that self-contained. Or socially dysfunctional. Take your pick.

Seven Reasons to Love Jinsei


1. He is chronically ill.
If asked, he’ll just tell you it’s some rare disease effecting the nervous system because it’s easier to explain than how a certain person conducting certain human experiments royally fucked him over. He wears a nanotech device on his cheek/temple as it’s vital to ensuring his brain continues functioning at least semi-normally, though he’s still often bedridden from attacks. Though he’s fully aware that he can expect to die at any moment, he’s accepted this fact without complaint or anger.


2. He is a Master of Zen.
You’ll never see him loose his temper or calm. It’s a nice side-effect of having the Grim Reaper as your best friend- It makes you realize what’s truly important in life. Time spent in anger, sadness or stress is time wasted. Much better to sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Seven Points to Beware of with Kitoku


1. She is quite competitive.
No matter what the task, Kito aims to win… and made a good show of it right from the start by being born a full five minutes before her twin brother Jiko. To this day, she still mocks him for being a slacker.


2. She has a photographic memory.
On top of being quite intelligent. Pick any subject and there’s a good chance that she’ll know more about it than you thanks to this combination of traits. Her favorite subjects tend to be the three Ps- Psychology, physics, and philosophy. With a good healthy dose of computer tech and programming on the side.

Seven Facts about Null


1. He has a severe anxiety disorder.
*insert noun/name/place/action/etc here* = SCARY. And medication only helps a little bit. Really, the only place he’d feel completely relaxed in is a sealed fallout shelter buried deep, deep underground with the only entrance impossible to access except for some means of high explosives.


2. He doesn’t remember much of his past.
Age, name, family, childhood.. Not that it bothers him, or has any desire to figure it out. As far as he’s concerned, there must have been a good reason to forget everything prior to the Institute where he’s spent a good chunk of his life. It was probably scary anyway, though it’s pretty frightening trying to imagine what could be scarier than the Institute! *_*
