Gremlin

War criminal

D, also known as Soldier D, is an alien monster from the manga Go! Go! Loser Ranger! aka Sentai Daishikkaku in Japanese.

D is one of an army of shapeshifting foot soldiers called Dusters who previously served monstrous overlords who tried to conquer the Earth, but a team known as the Ryūjin Sentai Dragon Keepers defeated these leaders and forced the foot soldiers to continue staging fake fights to lose to keep the Dragon Keepers popular.

D, sick of this farce, decided one day to leave the invader stronghold and infiltrate the Dragon Keepers disguised as a young human man, intent on destroying his enemies from the inside.

Yes, it's another animu anti hero. And D, while really good at putting on the heroic anime/manga hero act (you know, the rousing friendship speeches and all that) his actual personality is much more cynical and he has a lot of pent up anger after many years of playing the constantly-losing villain.

looks like THE RACONTEUR is back on the suspect list. 

you thought you fooled her, didn’t you? you rolled into town young, a summer vacation with your stuffy parents, and there she was. she smiled at you, offered her name, and that’s when you tried to lie. she always saw right through it, but she liked the way you made the lies sound, she said. you would think about her in months leading up to your next time in rose cove, and when you showed, you also showed off your works to her. she accepted you into her group without falter, and if she hadn’t figured out your secret, she might have been the best friend you ever had. you’ve had a year’s worth of this beach town without her. what have you done with it?

connections :

shannon : best friend / you were going to tell her goodbye that night. you couldn’t take it anymore, and you almost left without seeing her at all. now you wish you had followed that instinct. 

muses a, d, and e : best friends / the four of you flocked to shannon like moths to flames, even when she treated you like the dirt under her feet. things have been different in the last year, but that doesn’t change how much you know about each other.

muse i : new confidant / you helped them out one day, and the next thing you knew they didn’t stop talking for forty five minutes. you even chimed in with a word or two of your own, which you needed desperately.

looks like THE SYCOPHANT is back on the suspect list. 

you dream of her life, don’t you?  you didn’t know which way was up when you met her. gangly, awkward, and shy, the only thing that caught her attention was your last name. she promised you popularity if you jumped, and you asked how high. she delivered, and you rose along with her. over time, just being near her wasn’t enough, though. you were the kind one, and she reaped every benefit despite her nasty ways. you do wish she had yelled when she found out about your indiscretion, though. instead, she simply ignored you for months, and we all know how desperate you can get when ignored. you’ve had a year to pick yourself up again. what have you done with it? 

connections :

shannon : best friend / you wanted a private moment with shannon that night. you hoped your gift and heartfelt words would be enough to smooth over the cracks. you were wrong.

muses a, d, and f : best friend / the four of you flocked to shannon like moths to flames, even when she treated you like the dirt under her feet. things have been different in the last year, but that doesn’t change how much you know about each other.

muse b : tryst / the way they avoid you like the plague now is half a blessing and half a curse. you never expected them to run to you, choose you over her, but you never imagined how much this would hurt.

looks like THE CATALYST is back on the suspect list. 

you met your match with her, didn’t you? as soon as she moved to town, you were no longer the big fish in a small pond. you suddenly had competition, and instead of that making you two mortal enemies, you molded a friendship out of what should have been carnage. she pushed you; you pushed her. unlike your other friends, you proudly stated your opinion, and you thought that made you two stronger for it. too bad you showed her your full arsenal, so when it came time to really fight, you were unprepared. you have had an entire year to start your own fires instead of always playing in hers. what have you done with it?

connections: 

shannon : best friend / you were supposed to celebrate with shannon and the others, but you were late. you aren’t sure what happened before you got there, but she took it out on you. you didn’t exactly take it lying down.

muses a, f, and e : best friends / the four of you flocked to shannon like moths to flames, even when she treated you like the dirt under her feet. things have been different in the last year, but that doesn’t change how much you know about each other.

muse c : roommate / they moved in shortly after shannon disappeared, and you couldn’t be more grateful. sometimes it feels like nothing at all has changed, honestly.

looks like THE SURREPTITIOUS is back on the suspect list. 

you admired her more than anyone, didn’t you? no one defended her name better than you, louder, prouder, not even her twin. you were her favorite, that made you feel special. you never imagined she would ever do you like she did everyone else, but that’s why they call it being blindsided. the resolution never came before she disappeared, but instead of letting that guilt make you a better person, you simply channeled the person you looked up to the most. maybe you even love when people say you remind them of her. you’ve had a year rebuild your jenga blocks. what have you done with it?

connections:

shannon : older sister / you ran into her after you left the party on the beach, and you wrongly assumed she would offer sisterly advice. you never told anyone about how poorly that last night went. 

muse i : best friend / they have always just… been there. but lately? you’re wondering if that’s too close for comfort. they don’t appreciate your growth, and you have enough people second guessing you. 

muse d : roommate / they were shannon’s roommate first, and when they mentioned they were struggling with the rent, you stepped up. you even got to keep her old bed.
