Koga Oogami | Ensemble Stars

[roughplayer]

PLAYER: Pear
CHARACTER: Izumi Sena (Alter) Koga Oogami
CANON: Ensemble Stars

AU NAME: N/A
AU AGE: 18-19
AU OCCUPATION: Veterinary clinic receptionist
BLURB:
✧ Appearance-wise, he has brown eyes and bleached blond hair! Still has his piercings, no more, no less.
✧ From Japan, moved to Recolle for a bit, then out of Recolle, then back since last year or so. He might have had some friends from childhood, he was a reserved, polite boy. Liked animals and music, fairly ordinary! He had two notable childhood friends from different points in his life who are characters in game, Minako Arisato (complementing) and Akira Kurusu (maskreant). Former was elementary age and probably a silly thing to think about, latter is middle school before he moved and. Kids are tactless.
✧ Let’s just say his later middle school years and high school years weren’t kind to him, hence the Koga of now: a hardass lone wolf punk, or tries to be. His mother passed not to long ago and he wants nothing to do with her family because they were kind of awful towards him (mom was single when she had Koga… yeah). He has relatives on his “father’s” side but that’s a complicated matter because hey, it’s a fresh new development in his life. Some are even in in Recolle! They would be Kirei Kotomine/Kei Shiragaki (livingimpaired) and Izumi Sena/Mizuki Sena (adoringpast). Specific relations? Complicated!
✧ He tried to get into the music industry during and after high school! It was an assistant/lackey/intern job at an big agency/studio that gave him empty promises and a lot of work. Insert crashing, burning hard and a really sad dog. He quit and moved to Recolle to recover and get his life back on track. It’s been a year, progress is alright? Somehow he got a nice place to live with decent folks.
✧ His current job is a receptionist at a vet clinic! There’s probably some funny story how he got there, but he loves animals a good deal more than people, so this job pretty much balances out in good versus bad. Reinforces the idea that people can be dumb pet owners though.
✧ Part of his job ended up maintaining the clinic’s social media account aka taking and posting photos of the patients (with permission). Denies that he does or enjoys this, and yet gets cranky when people (like coworkers) say the Instagram should get cuter photos of animals. Who needs cute, they're happy and healthier!
✧ Remove this hellish gap year from his memory with a new kind of hell, academia. AKA he’s starting Recolle U in the fall because of some dumb promise with his mom. Undecided in what he wants to do, but he can get general courses done in the meantime? It’s fine?
✧ Still likes music, but his tsun levels levels go through the roof and he stubbornly claims it’s for stress relief and a hobby, nothing related to (crushed) dreams. He keeps up to date with artists, local gigs, that stuff though. He plays electric guitar and pretty well, just... loud.
✧ A FUCKING NERD— he knows how to play trading card games and gets stupidly extra about it. Tries mobage but can't commit, let him play rhythm games without the hassle of unlocking cute shit and rolling gacha, dammit. Also, he reads modern fantasy YA novels in secret.
✧ Can be bribed into doing almost anything with the promise of medium rare steak and/or grilled kebabs. Cannot guarantee he won’t complain, but he’ll still do what was asked. He’s actually reliable and believes in hard work.

LOOKING FOR:
✧ Neighbors/House guests! He has a living situation set and he’s the new housemate in Mochi House with Akira, Yusuke Kitagawa (fabrefactions) and Elliot Craig (fiddlestick). But, I’m down for noise complaints by anyone, even their friends when they're over. What is hospitality.
✧ Have a pet and go to that nice, well-liked vet clinic for check-ups and stuff? He might have sent a snappy voicemail from the vet clinic about making sure said pet is there at their appointment or else. Also he’s at the front desk and sticks out compared to the warm friendly atmosphere of the place, it’s meant to be kind of classy while he’s... not.
✧ The usual stuff like coworkers/bosses, classmates/teachers when school starts, those are pretty simple.
✧ Let him pick fights or get into stupid arguments with people, he’s competitive and has a short fuse. It can literally be over anything to get mad about...
✧ Catch him being stupid in one of the million possible ways he can be stupid! He’s defensive of his hobbies and interests. Also... not always that keen despite the wolf/dog motif.
✧ As for the elephant in the room, yes he can be mistaken for his facetwin Sena, especially when he gets his original hair color back. It's probably really funny at first and I'm not getting tired or it.

NOTES AND STUFF

[roughplayer]

[adoringpast]

wow..... who this

[roughplayer]

your worst nightmare

[fabrefactions]

hello izumi sena, it’s lovely to meet you

[roughplayer]

crack open a window, the paint fumes are getting to ya

[adoringpast]

yusuke kitagawa i am going to snap you in half

[fiddlestick]

GASP

MUSIC FRIEND

[roughplayer]

NO. he's not here to make music friends they're made of lies and betrayal—

okay he'll listen to Elliot play a little, but that's it!

[unlightmusic]

ohhh its the dog man

help suzu remember the joys of ROCK and bad words and she will help you with very un-ROCK homework

[roughplayer]

What joy all he knows is sadness... But homework help would be nice, yeah.

[strayknight]

Corgi~!

[roughplayer]

Grrr—!

[maskreant]

when he remembers what you did to him

he will ruin your life

[livingimpaired]

it's another nephew he can drag to church ....... and sure, feed afterward

[hairstroke]

HELLO!! I can offer Leon Zhong who is another competitive nerd with a short fuse. He's roughly the same age as Koga and maybe they could have had a few dumb spats in the past? Leon's really into the knock off version of Love Live and other various video games BUT HE'LL BE WILLING TO TRY OUT CARD GAMES IF IT MEANS COMPETING AGAINST SOMEONE :l;;

One of his best girls is his super fluffy poodle and he always makes sure to take her to the vet for check ups, so maybe that's how they could have been acquainted with each other?

[amodelidol]

Another Sena? Are they multiplying? I am for Makoto always running into Koga in the game shop and always catching him talking about the card game to someone.

[solificate]

I don't know if you'd be interested, but Varian could potentially be a childhood friend? They'll be very close in age, and Varian likes animals a lot but has also had a "life hit him hard and now he's angry" thing going on. Also, they're both nerds.

[usurpers]

obviously as the new mochi house friend and sena’s face twin

i demand tsuns

[cardcaptured]

STUPID WOLF NAME BUDDIES!!!!!!

+1ing Hana's comment about knowing him through taking Jasmine to vet appointments (he has to be with Leon to emotionally support him if their Best Girl is sick, ok), but!! Xiaolang also is low-key into trading card games, so they......could have maybe had matches with one another at some point at the gaming shop?? Xiaolang's stupidly competitive as well, so they'd probably go HARD at Magic knock-offs and keep playing matches against one another until someone at the shop kicks them out

Re: Koga Oogami | Ensemble Stars

[flametheif40]

Can be bribed with food eh? Hopefully some food thief won't happen to have food to bribe him with...

Also, Al hated his dad, loved his mom(his mom was a hooker to his dad...a mob boss who just called her for booty calls, didn't care about AL at all)

[taishou]

Oh look, a yappy dog.

[idolworship]

I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR EICHI BEING EICHI................ He's absolutely going to tease him because Koga gets angry so easy

That said, Eichi and Koga might have come into contact actually, since Eichi works with animals and they'd no doubt need to be taken care of and need checkups and such. The veterinarian might be one specializing in exotic animals at Koga's clinic, but u still gotta go to through receptionist.......

[floret]

idk man they should meet because Jamie is Minako's twin's roommate, and said twin also volunteers at the vet clinic, and Jamie has Complicated feelings toward Sena (aka basically they don't care for each other but it kinda ties into/brings up some of Jamie's emotional baggage but he tries to be normal about it but you know it's one of those things)

[breakingthrough]

Ada also went through some big changes from childhood because of family reasons so childhood friends reconnecting could be a lot of fun if you were interested! She's art buddies with Yusuke so she could find him that way.

...but she's also probably 100% going to tease him plenty, although she can also have her softer moments.
