CHARACTER NAME: Ikuo Ryuuzaki (AU: Tatsuo Kihara)
CANON: Ouroboros (drama)
USERNAME: thisloveisjustice

ABOUT: Tatsuo is a 32 yr old who tries his hardest to be a responsible, competent adult. Alas, he doesn't always succeed. He grew up in Recolle and was raised by his mother until she was killed by a drunk driver when he was 10. Tatsuo then spent the next eight years in the Recolle Orphanage, where he met his BFF Matt (blessmefather), Derek (blondferret), and a whole pack of kids he considers family.

After graduating high school, he went to Rec U and earned a BS in Forensic Science, which lead to his employment at the crime lab. At the same time, Tatsuo was heavily involved in the Utsuki Dojo, where he's a 3rd degree black belt, and at present teaches an adult beginner class. Tatsuo currently resides in a modest apartmet in Tisse, rides a Kawasaki Ninja around town, and has an absolute goofball of a dog. He enjoys old martial arts movies and is slowly but surely learning how to cook. He's currently dating Mariko (megatechbody) after certain events last summer caused him to reflect on what he wants from life.

CURRENTLY: Tatsuo has made a lot of progress in coming to terms with his memories of his past life. He's becomes quite invested in finding out what happened in the past and trying not to judge his past self too harshly anymore. However, he's struggling with a lot of the magical bullshit everyone is having to deal with in regards to Vanderweele (and Retrospec in general) and probably always will. There's only so much weirdness he can wrap his head around, and that could prove to be a problem for him in the future. Future tech is fine, magic just makes no sense to him.

Currently, he's just trying to live his life. Go to work, teach at the dojo, spend time with his hot girlfriend, spend time with family and friends, take his dog on walkies. Tatsuo will also be getting some small items in the last half of this month. And at some point discovering he has a cousin he had no idea about, Shigure (morgrim). That'll be fun~

REGAINS: Need: people getting kidnapped, searching people's apartments, discussions about fathers, cute girls making him lunch, arguments with friends, lying to the police, organ transplants, searching for lost sisters, quitting your job...

CHARACTER NAME: Lenalee Lee (AU: Li-Na Yiu)
CANON: D.Gray-Man
USERNAME: invocate

ABOUT: Li-Na is a soon to be 19 yr old college student from Hong Kong. She lost her parents when she was younger, but was raised by her older brother (following a couple years with a relative who was NOT KIND to her). After finishing high school in Hong Kong she came to Recolle to improve her English, by doing an extra year of high school at Recolle High, before enrolling at Rec U as a dance major. Li-Na has studied ballet since childhood and dreams of joining a major ballet company after university. In Recolle she reconnected with her second cousin Xiaolang (cardcaptured) and lives with him and his other cousin Leon. Li-Na's older brother works in Leon's family's company back in Hong Kong as an engineer.

CURRENTLY: Li-Na keeps a pretty busy schedule. She hits the gym in the morning before heading to her classes. A couple afternoons a week she teaches the toddler ballet class at Dancinerate. Once a week she takes a capoeira class at the Rec Center. On the weekend she does a couple shifts at Expressive. Any time spent not on homework is spent dancing, though she can be lured away in the evening by promises of karaoke, bubble tea, pastries, and/or romatic comedies. Not that any of this prevents her from getting up to hijinks... like kidnapping Zee. Sorry Zee.

REGAINS: Need: Still working on major Lenalee moments during the Ark arc (probably going to leave most of the battles since she's a bystander for pretty much all of them) which involve feeling trapped and angry because her legs won't work right, as well as doing her best to put on a brave face for her teammates.

• dance friends! she'll mostly just be teaching her class at Dancinerate, but she'll occassionally drop in on a ballet class just for fun
