------**They are specifically made for the purpose of one particular playstyle which may not be suitable for many.**------
*The Iwasaki siblings Mio and Ryuosuke are played independently as to where Sho and Mika are played together as a duo. Unless requested, they are not played any differently.*
Name: Sho Iwasaki
Age: 12
Gender: Male
Mental Nature: Brave, Mature.
Situational Mentality: Protect and defend Mika
Fighting Mentality: Evade and escape
Likes: Mika, calm and quiet places
Dislikes: Mio, Ryuousuke, fighting
The calm and reserved one of the siblings. While he doesn't have much that makes him stand out on his own, the bespectacled brother of the siblings does have the most rational and sound mind amongst them all.
Both he and Mika disappeared together into the forest at the same time, six months after Ryuosuke. While they did manage to arrive in the same location that Ryuosuke and Mio, they were greeted and joined only by Ryuosuke, who informed them on the details involving their whereabouts.
He is protective of Mika and has accurately reasoned that Ryuosuke is too dangerous to be around either Mika or himself, issuing his stance on their immediate separation from him as part of their group.
While He and Ryuosuke both see eye-to-eye on Mio being the largest threat to their survival, Sho also sees Ryuosuke's carelessness and lack of restraint as a detriment and massive danger to themselves.
Sho is the most athletic of the group and is the most intellectually apt. While not as unfathomably manipulative, intelligent and instinctive as Mio, he is by far the best in terms of communication and 'political speaking', making him appear far wiser beyond his years than he should logically be.
(Sho never saw himself as a leader before vanishing away with Mika.)
Name: Mika Iwasaki
Age: 11
Gender: Female
Mental Nature: Timid
Situational Mentality: Calm things down.
Fighting Mentality: run and hide
Likes: Sho, Mio, Ryuosuke
Dislikes: scary things
Mika is not only the youngest, but also the least threatening and most defenseless of the siblings. She often can't help herself and can only rely on Sho to properly help her in desperate times.
Despite their situation, she doesn't hold any resentment towards Ryuosuke or Mio, realizing that they are both just as afraid as she is despite the real danger and threats they do pose, even to her.
She has no strengths to speak of and does everything she can to avoid being a burden on any of her siblings, which she does a good job upholding despite her relative meekness.
Mika has the notable characteristic of trying to emulate her older siblings, especially Ryousuke, and as such behaves as if she wants to be a tomboy. She dresses and looks so much like a boy that one could easily mistake her for a boy until she speaks as she is unable to disguise her voice. Her natural behavioral 'girl' reactions to things also makes her 'boyish acts' much less believable.
(Mika always wanted to grow up to be like Mio before she vanished. Without Mio as a role model, She only had Ryuosuke and Sho left as examples to follow.)
Name: Ryousuke Iwasaki
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Mental Nature: Cruel, violent, strike first and fast.
Situational Mentality: Do what needs to be done.
Fighting Mentality: Kill all threats
Likes: Sho, Mika, Safety
Dislikes: Mio, Rules
Second oldest of the siblings and most violent and hot-headed of them. He went missing a year and a half after Mio and had wound up in the same location as Mio, tagging along with her for a while before she used him as a tool to get past traps, as bait for animals to kill for food as well as even ditching him on multiple occasions to save herself.
These actions frustrated him to the point of near insanity, causing him to break and grow a sharp-edged persona over the short period of two weeks, effectively separating himself from Mio after she used him as a shield to defend herself from Hiroko. He not only hates her for this, but continuously tries to kill her for it, seeing her as no longer sane enough to live.
He will do anything in his power to protect Mika and Sho from Mio and other dangers, going as far as to even come close to succeeding in killing Mio, but was stopped by Sho and was left behind afterwards.
Ryuosuke, like Mio, is solitary and on his own. He tries to keep his distance from Mio and does everything he can to keep Mio from Sho and Mika. He is the most violent of the group and most capable in terms of self-defense.
(Ryuosuke has always been laidback before Mio vanished. He blamed himself for her disappearance, thinking his ignoring that last argument with her was the cause of her vanishing and as such, views himself that much more responsible for caretaking his younger two siblings.)
Name: Mio Iwasaki
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Mental Nature: Unpredictable
Situational Mentality: serve only self and survive
Fighting Mentality: use any and all tactical advantages
Likes: Being Alone
Dislikes: Sho, Mika, Ryousuke, Being defied
Mio is the eldest sibling and first one to go missing. She went missing shortly after her twelfth birthday, two years before the others and had been lost in the moving forest the entire time.
The amount of time spent there had taken it's toll on her mind and way of thinking so badly that she is considered too dangerous to any longer be around by her younger siblings, Ryuosuke included.
Due to what she has experienced over the course of those two years, (especially involving repeated encounters with some wolf-girl named Hiroko) she has become incredibly distant and far too untrustworthy to be around as she will spare almost no expense to gain the upper hand.
She has a penchant for doing whatever is necessary for her own survival which often might not benefit the other siblings best interests or outright violates all morality. She is also the most intelligent of the group and most adapted to the situation.
(Mio's behavior is perfectly justified. Simply put, had Ryuousuke listened to her during that last argument they had, she would not have stumbled upon the knowledge that drove her to slowly change into what she became.)
----------------------------
Situational play is the idea of these characters, primarily the situation of complex moral dilemma and decisions made by characters regardless of protagonist/antagonist position in play. The idea is to inflict as great a moral dilemma onto the characters as possible.
