Ikuei Yanagi
SHSL Horror Novelist
"....Burger King Foot Lettuce...."
‘25 Hours’ is a hit horror movie that is said to make even the most daring and the most bold of horror fans to quake in fear. It keeps the audience on edge, unable to tear their gazes away from the screen in anticipation of what will happen next - if they’re not already in tears from the contents, that is. The movie originally was a novel under the same name, who shocked the world with such a chilling book being written by a mere 16 year old. Known for his books of unspeakable monsters and twisted spirits, Ikuei Yanagi’s works make one’s blood run cold. It’s not just that the monsters are, well, monsters, it’s the surprisingly human side of them that grips his fans. Making the dead and living horrors alike human to the degree of them being inhuman, he pulls at the heartstrings of viewers and makes them fear their own selves for relating.Since being thrust into the spotlight two years ago, Ikuei has produced several more works in the horror genre, with sky-high reviews across the board. His works and young age, however, has received a bit of backlash. Many say that making twisted monsters relatable is a result of his naivety and that he shouldn’t make the monsters have human attributes, as it’s an insult to humanity itself. He has yet to make a statement on this matter.

Her skills in hospitality most desired in the karyukai, “the flower and willow world” where the spirit of geikos reside, Koume helps an old tradition to thrive in modern day as a testament to the time, labor and work ethic it takes in preserving the past that has decreased through decades. Continuing such an esteemed legacy, the recognition she gained from aiding others to the path of geiko was plenty for her to receive an invitation to Hope’s Peak Academy and become the ambassador of worlds that have yet to intertwine.- Empty Eyes: There's not a flicker of light in Koume's eyes in her official reference sheet.
- Hopeless with Tech: Koume isn't allowed to use technology due to strict traditions maiko have to follow. Hence her lack of knowledge, which is ironic considering the fact they're in a VR simulation.

Kyoju
SHSL Informant
"I could come up with a good quote for this page, but that's none of your business."
There’s an old saying that goes ‘snitches get stitches,’ but in the case of criminal informants, so-called ‘snitches’ can get a lot more—a large payout in cash, reduced jail time, police protection, favors, you name it. In the case of the young informant known only to public records as ‘Kyoju,’ there are a number of rumors floating around about both his boon from law enforcement and the crimes committed to end up in jail in the first place... but it’s all confidential unless you’re in league with the informant himself. Regardless of what he’s done in his past, Kyoju is responsible for the takedown of several large drug and gambling rings across Tokyo, which culminated in the eventual arrest of CEO and yakuza head Daijiro Isomura.- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Confirmed by the player, Kyoju's been described as a pretty boy during the roleplay.

Beast, Masaru Satsunami is a unique breakdancer well-known for inventing the power move, Scarab Flare, which is a fusion between a Buddha spin and an air flare on a longboard. From his outrageous, glow-in-the-dark outfits, to the rhythmic way he speaks, Masaru stood out the most in Harajuku’s hip-hop community and he often displayed his signature breakdance techniques during Yoyogi Park in the evenings. He’s a reasonable competitor when faced with other groups, thankfully, he’s usually flanked by the Raichidan (良一団 ) — a tight-knit group occupying him throughout his time at clubs and on the streets.

A charming vixen of a woman, Mira has become a valued member in the hot air balloonist community both nationally and beyond, after her rich family allowed her to pick up the hobby on multiple trips of studying abroad.

Ninki Honzon

"What an epic gamer moment~!"
It’s hard to navigate social media anymore without overhearing the incessant buzzing of the Ninki Nation at least once. Rising star and the internet’s favfurite pretty kitty, Miss Ninki Honzon made a name for herself from a young age as the eldest daughter of Riko Saito, founder of the famed tech company, Kakument, long before her career even debuted. At only age ten, Ninki began to produce videos from her Youtube account, ‘NicoNicoNinki’, and the videos that premiered made the world’s heart flutter for her. She was impressively articulate, she was funny, she was excited to be there, and the world fell in love with this adorwable widdle girl! What made it even more impressive was the high quality of these videos, as Ninki made it openly clear that she was the sole producer of them, editing them all by herself.

Ninki has grown to extreme fame, being one of the biggest influencers online, and all without a single scandal.

Rie Okada
SHSL Mori Kei Model
"...W-what the heck..."
Within recent years, the “Mori” subculture has practically exploded on Japanese forums and the like, yet a relatively new face has been thrown into the limelight after the “P@STEL SPRING” photoshoot was released, introducing the girl in question— Rie Okada. Delighting in beautiful fabrics and textures, Okada’s almost childlike nature sets her apart from typical models seen in the industry, avoiding to look overly cute, and shunning more simple clothes for quirky outfits. Flats instead of stilettos, short nails instead of long, layers of clothing instead of few. Rie has been known to look rather natural with this choice of style and is known as the main influence as of late for new growing models relating to this trend, and more designs are being issued under the high demand thanks to Okada’s recent works.Intrigue in the Mori lifestyle has risen ever since Okada’s name was revealed to the public, and even more photoshoots have been released onto her website before she was even coined as an Ultimate, regaining her whimsical persona throughout many of her shoots despite the variety of themes used. The indie sensibility reflected in her style and image have left Rie Okada to be labeled as the face of the Mori Girl trend from the very beginning, and her refreshingly earthy and natural outlook is a breath of fresh air compared to other models being seen trying to outdo each other in terms of cuteness. This star has really risen to become the poster girl of the Mori aesthetic, and her appearance always manages to attract others into joining her in her whimsical adventure.
- Curtains Match the Window: Shown in Rie's profile image, her hair and eye color are the same. They're both hazel-colored.
- Only Sane Woman: The only person in the game who is questioning everyone's VR appearances.

Moto’s parents funded a small business for the young child as soon as their skill became apparent. Ketch Stitch and its merchandise, eventually sprouted into a must-have for anyone aiming for rustic street fashion. Even while clearly using the power of connections to fester their influence, Hope’s Peak Academy couldn’t ignore the young Moto’s apparent talent and intuitive skills in design, business, knitting, and of course, sewing.

Scouted from the mountainous regions of China, Li Xiangxi is far from a household name— yet for the organizations that have called on their services, they’re no less than a savior. Rumor has it that they’ve saved numerous groups from fraudulent lawsuits with their thorough and diligent accounts, and though they’ve received several discrete offers from large corporations, their track record seems to indicate that they only work with non-profits.
- Born Unlucky: On each roll, their stats are automatically lowered by their player. The reason why this happens is still unknown to the players.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Their uncle keeps them away from what's going on around them.Xiangxi: "...There's no one there. Everyone is busy. Everyone but me."

SHSL Otokoshi
"Koume-sama's safety comes before all else. However, I don't mind lending a hand to you as well."
While the ethereal beauty of a geiko is what most people know of the Geimai world, an otokoshi melts into the background to allow the sun to shine. Due to the private nature around the profession, not much is known about all that they do. What is known is that they prepare the girls for their misedashi and be their guard when they make their debut to the public.

Yoko: "Do not worry about that right now."
Yoko: "It is very much against our heiresses' principals to use technology."
