#crayfishthingsssss

Like it was cool at first but because I don't want my story to lose its whimsy I don't think them being apart of the jsdf(japanese self defense force) is any good low-key.

honestly, I've been thinking it for a while

For y'all a bit of background :(stars based on their current importance in the story )

⟡⟡⟡Araya :29, staff Sargeant, tech expert (software), grey hair, stoic because he's shy and scared because he's special

⟡⟡Kaijun : 30, Sargeant (got demoted) ,tech expert(hardware?, i imagine him being dirty and dorky) , always smiling, shill and happy, friends with araya

⟡⟡⟡Arashi : 36, Sargeant first class, weapons expert, scar on his right cheek (eh, maybe sharpnel), always mad, divorced, girl dad, the shortest, broadest

(cus I didn't know how to write him) ⟡Azuka : 31, Staff sargeant , medic (and analyst, i just be doing anything) , notebook on him(maybe glasses ? Nahh) , kind-i guess- , very gentle but very pushing when concerned or and looking for answers , the tallest.

( same as azuka, it's worse cus he's the main narrator) ⟡Kazuke :34, Sargeant major, right hand man, cool watch(cus he's ponctual) , most average, boring , by the book guy, he likes knitting cus his mom is his favorite

⟡⟡⟡Tadashi :38, first lieutenant, the leader of the team, his hat alwyss looks like its hiding his very sharp eyes cus he sees everything ~~~, despite being the most important, i can't think of any characteristics for him that makes him more of a character and less of a plot device. He's fatherly, he's tired.

--- in the original plot ----

They are a team assembled by the colonel of the base to investigate weird phenomenon happening in the forest, suddenly one day their leader is now a dad to a 15 year old hareta who may or may not be connected to the mystery. Oooo, mystery

Here's the issue: colonel made a team, it's serious, but it's supposed to be unknown and new, and usually when things are new it gets put under the rug, but when the government is the one holding the broom, stuff gets real bro, in order for it to work in tadashi and haretas favor, not only does the colonel and his gang need to be on it, but probably very important people. Like the president. This is stuff i do not want to enter into. I need whimsy with a little bit of horror brothers.

------ new plot --------

They are a bunch of normal fellas who got united over this intresting thing happening in their town who this new but unique kid is definitely a part of.

This means for me that it gets high but not high enough that I'd have to speak about stakes i do not want to get into

But now, for the true meat, what would their jobs be ?

Araya and kaijun : i want them roommates, i want them to live close by, so i am thinking , one a computer nerd (araya). , and the other a mechanic(kaijun)

Arashi : maybe past military(ptsd, and divorce) , and living here with his father (it raises small stakes , good for narration) , but what Job would he even work ?

Kazuke: idk, an office worker. But the town is kinda small, wouldn't he want to be aiming higher ( maybe past military too? Who's now here staying to take care of his old sick mother ? )

tadashi: definitely a police officer.

Azuka : probably a doctor in a small clinic.

but now what could happen that would get a *let me check* : a 29 year old, 31 year old, 30 year old, a 38 year old, a 34 and 36 year old together ????!
