Character Name: Aoba Seragaki Canon: DRAMAtical Murder Canon Point: Midpoint, after fleeing the house from the police but before entering Platinum Jail Background/History:http://dramaticalmurder.wikia.com/wiki/Aoba_Seragaki Previous Game History: n/a Personality: Aoba’s a pretty laid-back and easy going guy, accepting people for who they are rather than based on appearances or anything like that. He has a wide variety of friends from different gangs and walks of life, accepting them all more or less unconditionally. He’s helpful and kind, looking after everyone in his group even in the heat of battle. Aoba’s a natural sort of leader though he often struggles with if his decisions are the right ones and the crushing guilt if he’s wrong.
He shows a very sarcastic side, often muttering snide comments under his breath or thinking them, and is quick to show he isn’t a push over in the slightest. He stands up for himself and fights back, holding his ground and knowing when he needs to retreat. Though not possessing what one would call a quick temper, he gets easily flustered when people act outside the norm or drag him into this unexpectedly (such as Noiz suddenly kissing him across the counter). He’s prone to blushing and getting heavily embarrassed at little things, being very self-conscious of what others might see or perceive of him.
The weight of making decisions weighs heavily on him, and if he messes up he’s the kind of person who will repeatedly beat themselves up for it. He cares deeply—perhaps too deeply—for the wellbeing of others that he might neglect his own health to help them.
Unfortunately Aoba has another side known as “the Other Aoba” who is pretty much the exact opposite. He represents the power of Scrap and as such seems to be extremely unstable, wanting nothing but destruction for all. He doesn’t feel anything and takes over when the strain of using Scrap causes Aoba to pass out. He feels pain as pleasure and tends to roll with the punches (literally), laughing all the while or wanting even more. He’s a constant presence in Aoba’s mind that he tries to repress with the medicine, but using Scrap causes the ‘barrier’ to weaken and the other Aoba’s voice to reach him, calling for him to destroy. He’s a better fighter than Aoba, if only because he doesn’t care about the well-being of his opponent and will fight tooth and nail to take them down, whereas Aoba would be more concerned about incapacitating with fewer injuries.
Abilities/Powers: Aoba has an ability referred to in the game as “Scrap.” When he gets his voice to a certain tenor it compels people to listen to him and subtly coerce them into doing what he wants. This is shown when talking to customers on the phone he can subtly convince them to buy more items. When he gets upset he tends to unconsciously use scrap to save himself (yelling at someone to leave him alone/let him go) or in one instance yelling at the rest of the group to stop fighting and pay attention.
Essentially Scrap can be sued to control someone’s mind, but Aoba’s pretty unpracticed with it and doesn’t know how to control it. He can use it to go into someone’s mind, see memories and help a person—or utterly destroy them, leaving them in a comatose state. He uses special medicine created by his grandmother to control his headaches that are caused by Scrap wanting to be used.
Not quite a power, but his hair also seems to have nerves in it to some degree, able to feel with it. It causes him pain if someone touches it too roughly or pulls on it.
He’s also shown to be pretty good at electronics, personally repairing and seeing to his Allmate’s wellbeing and maintenance.
Items/Weapons: Bottle of headache medicine (month’s supply), headphones, a small tool kit.
Sample Entry: [Aoba heaves a sigh, twisting the cellphone in his hands for a dizzying array of swirling colors and blurring scenes before he rights it again, looking a little sheepish.] Ah—Sorry. [He’d turned it on and got all interested in seeing how it worked.
He rights the camera so it’s focused on him and his mouth turns down in a thoughtful frown. He’s got an important question to ask after all, ever since he woke up to find Ren missing.] Did they take all the Allmates away? The Coils, obviously, but if something happened to Ren-- [He breaks off with a mildly frustrated noise, feeling helpless and hating it]
And they gave me such a crappy old phone... These haven’t been used in years, how does it even...
[He trails off and turns the video off, deciding to spend his time playing with the phone while he waits for someone to respond.]
Sample Entry Two: Aoba wasn’t the kind of man to impulsively rush into things or run flailing through the streets in panic. He wasn’t as calculating as maybe Mink or Noiz, but he knew to think things through, examine his options, and choose the best one—or as close to the best one as he could get, anyhow.
Here it wasn’t any different. The setting—maybe even the time—had changed, but Aoba just took a deep breath and tried to think. They were trapped here, there was something about a Yao Corporation, and the area they were trapped in was surrounded by some invisible dome. It didn’t take much to start making connections to Toue, and he couldn’t help but wonder if this wasn’t just some partner company under Toue’s control. It wouldn’t surprise him in the least. Finding a way to drag people from their worlds, dropping them into some dome world to watch and experiment? Sure it sounded impossible, but if Toue could find a way to do it, Aoba’s sure he could.
The sharp spike of a headache snaps through his mind, making him grimace and automatically reach for the bottle of pills he kept on him. The whispered word ‘destroy’ seemed to flit through his consciousness as he stubbornly swallowed one. He needed a nap and then he could go about gathering more information.
