Only one character left to reveal! 

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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

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!

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

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.

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.
