CHARACTER NAME: Dark Bakura CANON: Yu-Gi-Oh! USERNAME:hauhra ABOUT: In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Dark Bakura is the malevolent spirit who haunts the Millennium Ring, one of seven mystical artifacts forged long ago in the Kingdom of Egypt. A largely minor antagonist until the final arc of the story, Dark Bakura will do anything to get his hands on the other six Millennium Items and unlock the destructive power of the demonic god sealed within them, Zorc Necrophades.
In the game, Dark Bakura has been reborn into the city of Recolle as an ordinary (mostly) teenage boy. The orphaned son of a pair of young Egyptian immigrants, he is just as passionate about gaming and the occult in this life as he was in his last, often treating both as a sort of makeshift coping mechanism for his Abandonment Issues ™ when he’s not building up his reputation for delinquency. CURRENTLY: At the moment, Bakhura Farouk is a high school senior with no college aspirations. However, he does have a part-time job at a local comics and games shop that he’s hoping to turn into a full-time gig after he graduates. He’s also looking to move out of the hotel that he and his boyfriend (Malik Ishtar) are currently living in and into an apartment around that time.
Ugh, responsibility. REGAINS: At this point in the game, Bakhura Farouk feels as though he knows most of what’s necessary to understand what kind of people Thief King Bakura, Zorc Necrophades and Dark Bakura were even without knowing all of the details. However, he is down to talk about the occult with anyone who is willing to listen if you are looking for any supernatural regains! WANTED CR: Since the easiest way to engage Bakhura is through games, gaming CR would be a great starting point whether your character has him added on not-Steam (Vapor?) or is constantly reporting him on a server for cheating/ban aversion/etc. On a similar note, tabletop group mates would work well for him, too, and particularly if they’re holding their sessions at his employer’s store.
If your character is on the older side, mentor CR is a void that’s been in need of some filling for a while now, too. Although Bakhura has been working diligently to turn his life around, he is doing it without the guidance of a more experienced adult, leaving himself to shoulder much of the emotional burden of this task by himself. Having more people who would be willing to listen to him could dramatically correct the negative view that he has about forming attachments to other people!
Another good, potential source of CR is Recolle High School, where Bakhura will be attending until May. Although he has been turning over a new leaf within the last year or two in a last-ditch effort to (barely) graduate, he's nevertheless spent the first 2-3 years of high school sitting in the back of the classroom without actually participating, being disruptive by talking back to teachers when they did try to compel him to participate, and cutting his classes altogether, making him something of a gloomy, mysterious student with a not-so-great reputation among both students and teachers alike.
The creepy occult-obsession and the goth look don't exactly help in dispelling that impression. OTHER:
