Otay. I'm adding this after I initially wrote this instalment, but I feel I need to say something. I haven't talked about it on my insta yet, so I thought now would be a good time to say something.
My Instagram, my AO3 and my FFnet pages are a safe place for anyone and everyone. That means people of any race, of any sexuality, any gender.
First lets talk about BlackLivesMatter. Despite being white, I myself a heritage of a few races. Of course, I'm not as diverse as others, I'm NZ European/Maori white girl, but the BlackLivesMatter movement is not something I take lightly.
The fact how some people treat others is absolutely disgusting and I am completely appalled by many peoples actions as of recent. Especially police officers.
I'm disgusted because of how black people and black children are being treated by police. The fucking police. Nobody, especially fucking children, should ever, ever be frightened or scared of first responders. They are supposed to protect us and make us feel safe.
They should not be the reason we are dying.
I really want to say more, but I understand it's a touchy subject especially as of now, and I personally don't feel comfortable saying anything else as I feel so under-educated about the subject and I don't want to come off as insensitive. The last thing I want to do is to offend anybody.
And lastly, Pride Fall.
For someone who has been bi-curious and still trying to explore and define who they are for a long time now, and for someone who is an avid supporter and has many friends who are LGBTQ+, seeing Pride Fall makes me upset and very angry.
People are being bullied, assaulted, controlled and used just for the way they feel. And I hate that with a burning passion. And I don't say the h word very often with genuine sense of the word. But I'm so disgusted that there are people out there in the world who are dedicating time to ruining peoples lives like this.
So I just want to say-
If you are against BlackLiveMatters and or you are a supporter of Pride Fall: leave. Unfollow me and completely disassociate yourself with any of my work because I. Don't. Want. You. Here.
Leave and never come back because I don't want any people with ill intent attacking anyone, especially my following, my friends. I just don't want ANYBODY being attacked for who they are- PERIODT.
Sorry that I cursed and got a lil bit angry there, it's just so unfair and it's honestly just revolting to see some people's behaviour.
So please everyone, stay safe, look out for each other and together we can all move forward towards a world where we can all stand united.
I love you all, and you will always be loved and wanted. And if there's anything you need to vent about during this time, my DM's are open- just talk it out with a family member or someone you trust.
Stay safe :)
'Two days at most' she says.
Lmao, hai! How are you all? I myself am quite overloaded with work (my english teacher does not understand what too much work is qwq) I've also been taking Japanese and oh my god nobody told me how hard reading kanji was going to be qwq
I've also been playing this game 'Love Nikki' and it's kinda taken over my life qwq. If you have it and wanna be friends and trade stamina, my friend ID is 115964390 UwU
Anyway, less about me and my hectic gaming addictions and overloaded schedule, more about the notes! xD
SO if you read my ending AN from the last chapter you'll know what this instalment is...
Character notes!
There are a few characters in here that we haven't met yet, so I'm putting them into categories, 'characters we've met' and 'characters we haven't.'
Because, y'know, for obvious reasons xD
So just a heads up, I made these so it's kinda easier for y'all to understand who they are/what type of personality they have, what they look like, how they respond to things, and just give some background info on them. So if you don't want any of that, and you want to go in blind, you can skip over these and wait for a million years for my next upload qwq
So here they are! I'm having canon characters first and then my OC's.
Disclaimer, these are rather long and probably going to consist of the majority of this story's word count xD.
Enjoy!
This story is set in early / mid May.
*I made their personalities kinda revolve around their names so I tried giving them names with meaning so I could mould their characters dependent on that fact. I tried to make them as interesting as I could, making sure they aren't all brown hair-brown eyed basics! They're anime characters for god' sakes! I'm trying to be as creative as I can!
**Also, these notes were made in a google doc, so what I've posted here are not the finished notes as I'm going to be adding to and changing these as I continue to write this story. As I'm a pretty forgetful person I needed to write these so I can remember things about the plot and the characters so I'm not relying on my useless memory.
I'm not going to post the finished notes either as I feel that would be a waste, I'm just giving y'all these so you can have a foundation of the characters and the plot so far. If I add any new characters along the way I may do little character profiles in my ANs if you want me too.
I've also made up a few of my own Esper abilities and interpreted some canon abilities in a hopefully original way. And I know that in the actual Railgun/Index series only a few special people obtain some of the abilities I've given them but, oh well, we'll work with it!
I'm still particularly new to the fandom so forgive me if any of my made up lore interferes with the canonverse. I'm not particularly sure when the canon show/manga is set, I know that Academy City is a privileged city and is far ahead in technology compared to the rest of the world in their time. Because of this fact, I'm just going to assume that it's set, and I'm setting this story, in the far future xD
The reason for me setting this in the far future is because of a plot point for a character that will be revealed waaay later on.
Canon characters and info for them in THIS story
Kuroko Shirai- Her name, if you didn't already know, means black and white! Kuro means black, the suffix 'ko' added on the end to make it a name, and Shirai is supposed to be interpreted as the word white although the correct spelling is Shiroi. (as far as I'm aware!)
Other Aliases- Ko-chan, Tamashi, Jiyūna tamashī
Gender- Female
Age-15 turning 16
Sexuality- Bisexual
Physical Description- Hasn't grown an inch since middle school. Her hair is a lot longer too and her body has devolped a little since middle school. Other than that, same old Kuroko!
Personality- Her pervy tendencies have been eradicated due to maturing. She still tends to be on the lewder side of things but she keeps her hands and those thoughts to herself from now on. She's rather insecure and embarrassed about her obsessions with Mikoto so she tried her hardest to change, and she worked hard to be the person she wanted to be. Extroverted, hard-working, justice loving, selfless and caring, she's still our Kuroko, just older, more mature.
Relationships-Close friendship with Uiharu and Saten. Misaka and Kiyoshi are her Senpai's. She cares deeply for Hibiki and Yuki, who are like siblings to her.
Esper Ability/Level- Teleportation, Level 4
Additional Notes- DOB (Unlike Misaka, Kuroko, as far as I'm aware wasn't given a birthday so I'm giving her one!): June 8th 2XXX. She is a Gemini. I'm a Gem too, but I didn't make her a Gem because I'm biased! I made her a Gemini mainly because I've portrayed Kuroko being able to adapt her emotional state to fit many situations, even her name's a polar opposite (black and white), so I think that Zodiac sign really fits her personality. Here in this story I've decided to tone down her pervy nature mainly because she's older and I see her being rather insecure about her old and childish ways.
My Original Characters for this series-
Hibiki Takasu- Hibiki means Echo, Takasu in this context means Precious.
Other Aliases- None as of now
Gender- Male
Age- 16
Sexuality- Pansexual
Physical Description- Very well built but on the leaner side. 5'7, he has olive skin. Straight brown hair that is almost always styled with his fringe swooped to the right side of his face. Kuroko describes his bright brown eyes as a light reddish brown with copper mixed in them.
Personality- A very hard worker and very strong willed. He gives everything 100% making him a strong force to be reckoned with. Very kind but has the potential to literally kill you. He is a bad-ass but he is soft at the same time. (He's like a Hinata Shouyou esk character)
Relationships- Idolises Kuroko and has a big brother relationship towards her. Him and Kuroko are very close. Yuki annoys him but he cares about him, and Kiyoshi is an idol to him. Him and Akira aren't very friendly with one another, any opportunity to insult him, she'll take and eventually after enough provoking he'll throw it back in her face, despite how morally contradicting of his morals that is. He later develops a crush on Tarou.
Esper Ability/Level- Pyrokinesis, Level 3
Additional Notes- DOB: Jan 16th 2XXX. He is a Capricorn. UNFINISHED NOTES *(All of the characters from this point forward will have unfinished additional notes. As I continue to write this story, I will add things to their additional notes in my Google Doc as I will add information about them in future chapters that future me might make important. Plus I just like to keep a note of things. So from this point the additional notes will just have the birthday and zodiac sign and other miscellaneous pieces of info)
Kiyoshi Kokororiki- Kiyoshi means Soundless/Pure *to me it can be interpreted as pure silence* and Kokororiki is not a traditional surname as far as I'm aware, but the full word means means strength (i think?) and kokoro means heart, so I interpret it as strong heart.
Other Aliases-Yoshi (By Yuki only...it pisses him off)
Gender- Male
Age- 18 turning 19
Sexuality- Straight
Physical Description- Straight black and short hair, that's in an undercut style. Tall and bulky, about 5'11. Paler than his brother, but still not paper white. He has grey eyes that aren't very expressive, but they get all shiny when he's expressing genuine emotions. He has a very professional clothing style.
Personality- Despite looking rather icy, emotionless and sharp, Kiyoshi is a very attractable person. He is very moral orientated and believes that there is always a better way. An optimist at least, but a realist before anything. If he knows something won't work, he'll try his hardest to make sure it can, but if it can't, than it just wasn't meant to be. He's your typical h]gentle giant, but he's not afraid to get manipulative. He has a way with his words, and despite being the typical 'good boy' and being very morally driven, he can be very, very persuasive.
Relationships- Yuki's older brother, they're like Ying and Yang, opposites but they work well together. Kuroko is very close to him and he is very much like an older sibling to her. Hibiki and him have a very mature friendship for cousins, Hibiki always respectful towards him and the same respect is given by Kiyoshi himself. But his friendship with Akira is almost non-existent, their interactions are strictly professional.
Esper Ability/Level- Attention Power (my own interpretation of what Attention Power could be ;) Level 4. Attention Power is a Telekinetic sub type ability, and due to the name, Kiyoshi has to really focus when using his ability. Much like how Kuroko has to focus on her calculations for teleportation, Kiyoshi has to focus on how much of his power he uses. I'd like to believe that Attention Power gives Kiyoshi the ability to move multiple things at the same time to a very extreme extent; to the point where he could literally lift buildings. Although, how much he can lift with his mind doesn't only rely on his concentration, but also his general body strength, which is why he is much more bulky than most of the other boys. (I know his ability isn't very well explained here, it literally just sounds like OP telekinesis. But when the time comes when I have to write him using his ability, I will go into further detail about his ability. I know that was the very purpose for these but hey, reality can be whatever I want x3)
Additional Notes- DOB: Sep 29th 2XXX. He is a Libra.
Naoyuki Kokororiki- (Naoyuki means truth and or happiness)
Other Aliases- Yuki (Yuki is another name entirely, meaning snow. But I wanted the characters that of which are close to him to call him something a little less formal, so I just decided to shorten his name to Yuki. Nao is also another way the nickname could swing, but for now he's just generally known as Yuki.)
Gender- Male
Age- 17 turning 18
Sexuality- Straight
Physical Description- 5'10 and somewhat tanned. Lean, fit, athletic and well built. He has dark blue-ish black curls, that are never tidy and he has electric blue tips in his hair too. His left eye bright, amber golden eye, with copper flecks and his iris literally could be described as a beacon. And his other eye is a extremely dark brown with hazel flecks. He has a very unique sense of clothing style, grunge but not in an emo type way. He's just has a very quirky, and weirdly casual grunge clothing style. He's almost always wearing his rubber-leather gloves as they keep his veins from being exposed to electricity when using his ability, which prevents him from electrocuting himself.
Personality- An abrasive personality and very brutally honest. He is a loyal and selfless character which makes him a good role model. In saying that though, he can be a bit cheeky (a bit of a shameless flirt too) and his sarcasm is often taken literally as well as his honesty which can create some problems for him through miscommunication. He cares very deeply about things and is always looking to do the right thing, whether it benefits him or not, making him an amazing and heroic figure.
Relationships- Kiyoshi is his older brother, they have a close relationship. Kuroko is like a little sister to him, he is very protective of her and the same goes for Hibiki. His relationship with Akira is...interesting, he always teases and annoys her, despite her warnings for him to stop. But hey! There might be an ulterior motive for that...
Esper Ability/Level- Side Arm, Level 4. I've also added my own aspects to this ability, Side Arm gives him the ability to repel electrical attacks because it interferes with the motion of electrons cancelling out the attack, but I'd also like to imagine he can mirror electrical attacks, so for example if Misaka tried attacking him he could 'catch' the attack interrupting the electron flow, and shoot the attack back at her/his target. This applies to any electrical source, again for example, if there were live wires emitting waves of electricity, he could manipulate that electricity into an attack. Of course, this would be pretty OP (it is -_-) and would probably bump him up to being a Level 5, but I'd like to think he doesn't have much control over the mirror aspect of his ability. He's mastered the canon part of the ability, but sometimes when trying to mirror an electrical attack, he sometimes absorbs too much of that electric force, causing him to electrocute himself. I'm unsure if that's an actual canon thing that applies to Side Arm, so if it does, please let me know! He obtains a telekinetic sub-type just like his big bro, and because of that he can lift, throw and attack with levitating objects, but only things with a small mass as he can't control that part of his ability either, keeping him at Level 4.
Additional Notes- DOB: Dec 4th 2XXX. He is a Sagittarius.
Tarou Taikutsuna- Tarou means eldest son, very basic name, and Taikutsuna is not actually a traditional surname, it literally just means boring in Jap.
Other Aliases-N/A
Gender- Male
Age-20 turning 21
Sexuality- Bisexual
Physical Description- Dirty blonde mop of curls and dark brown eyes. He's always wearing a smile. About 5'8. Lean and on the lighter side of dark skinned. Very casual and scruffy style
Personality-Very kind and level-headed. Gentle and soft spoken, but considering his line of work, is not hesitant to assert dominance or throw hands. He's honestly just very sweet and misunderstood, but not a person you want to make upset.
Relationships-No important relationships as of now.
Esper Ability/Level- N/A
Additional Notes- DOB: Sep 21st 2XXX. He is a Virgo. He is the Anti-skill officer from the first chapter! (Despite me making him seem rather boring, useless and uninteresting, that fact will be very important later ;3)
Akira Kushieda- Akira means clear and intelligent. As far as I'm concerned, her last name has something to with a branch (eda) and a comb? (kushi) Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Other Aliases-Aki, Tensai (tensai means 'genius'. It's not the WWE wrestler xD)
Gender- Female
Age- 17
Sexuality- She's currently in the closet...*shushing emoji*
Physical Description-She is 5'7 and well built for age (could most definitely take Yuki on...and win) She has well toned and olive skin, and a scar on her left shoulder (which will be a topic touched on in the future.) She has shoulder length, curly, blonde hair with her natural brown roots. She has amber eyes (A darker amber than Yuki's) and her facial features are much more mature than most girls her age, certainly not soft like Kuroko's own features. Wrinkle-free, but she looks much older than 17, which she doesn't hesitate to use to her advantage. (I know that sounds really weird, but that might be important later. I'm saying might because I could change up her backstory last minute but...hey, you win some you lose some.) Her clothing style is rather professional, much like Kiyoshi, but she doesn't hesitate to dress casual.
Personality-Strict, terrifyingly intelligent, punctual and an all round genius, Akira is a force to be reckoned with. Not the most affectionate person, but she isn't heartless. Emotionally constipated? Definitely. But heartless? Absolutely not. That doesn't mean she isn't cold though, usually hitting the nail on the head with anything making her extremely blunt. She is also quite the perfectionist, always having intricate and thoroughly detailed plans, not one thing can be wrong or out of place. She isn't a leader though, she's just wants to be the brains. Not particularity a people person, but when you get to know her, you'll start noticing all the little things she does to show she cares.
Relationships-Yuki ticks her off to no end, but she does care about him in her own weird way. Kuroko and her aren't that close, sure they talk and somewhat get along but they don't know each other enough to be considered friends. They're acquaintances but more than that, but not quite friends. Her and Kiyoshi have a similar relationship as her and Kuroko, strictly professional and they could only ever be friends in a work environment. And Hibiki she doesn't make an effort to talk to at all, she finds him quite childish and extremely intolerable...they don't get along is the point I'm trying to get across BUT if either of their lives were in danger, they wouldn't hesitate to save one another. They may hate each other but they are still teammates at the end of the day.
Esper Ability/Level- Volcanic Ball, Level 3
Additional Notes- DOB: Nov 10th 2XXX. She is a Scorpio.
I'm sorry if a lot of the info in here was underwhelming/contradicting and or interferes with canon lore. I also understand I may of hyped these up only for the notes to not consist of much information that I promised qwq.
If you have anymore questions for me, please feel free to PM or leave a question in the reviews! Same goes if you have any suggestions for these characters or anything else you'd think would be cool for this lil universe.
And I keep using the terms 'our' and 'we' because I wouldn't be anywhere without your support! I wanted to kinda make a name for myself in the community with this story and I just want to include all of y'all in this journey with me. (It will take ages for me to build a name for myself, without a doubt, stuff like that doesn't happen overnight without a lot of effort and work. but with all of you, we can do it...somehow xD) Even though we are literally on, what...4-5 chapters? I already feel like I'm so close with all of you, you all feel like friends! And in the end, if it isn't writing stories or doing something creative in my fandoms, making friends is all I want. So thank you for giving me something special.
Yesterday, the 31st, was actually my birthday so I really wanted to get this out yesterday but my procrastinating ass and my freaking mountain of due work just prevented that from happening.
Anyway, thank you all again so much for the support and I'm sorry to keep you waiting again for an actual chapter. Go check me out on Instagram and if you need anything, my PM's/DM's are always open to you.
Have a great day, and I'll see you later!
