DDS 101
Hi, DSQ fans! While I know you're wondering why I'm not updating my current fic, Round ZERO: The Four Card symbols, I just want to assure you that the fic is still alive and well.
Right now I'm putting it off because I intended to post the 2nd story arc by March, and that's where I cap things off. So while waiting for Chapter 21 to onwards where the four Card Suits will be unveiled (in which the remaining F-4 members will be shown wearing those suits), I'll be provide you with an alternative fic to keep you busy until Round ZERO is ready for uploading.
Okay, so it's not exactly a fic, but rather a bio or a profile of the DDS section that I'll be introducing once a new fic is going to be up. Since Round ZERO will be quite long, all I can do is give you the lowdown on the DDS sections that I'm using in my fics.
As a new fic that I wrote is posted means that a new section will be introduced, and when that time comes, I'll upload them here.
For the meantime, enjoy the profiles that I made.
Disclaimer:
I don't own this anime or the other characters, plain and simple!

Class Q
Okay…we all now the lowdown on this top section and why Class A is constantly challenging them to a series of contests. But here I'll be re-typing their profiles and their histories, as well as the challenges that came to their lives and the following will reflect their involvement in my past and present fics.
Kyūū Renjōu
Age: 15
Height: 161cm
Weight: 53kg
Blood Type: O
- A bright, sweet and optimistic boy who is also a brilliant detective, but otherwise a little awkward when it comes to social situations. Otherwise, he is considered to be the team's leader and is known for his logical explanations of cases. His motto (taught by Dan himself) - "A Detective must never give up or the case will remain unsolved". He has a good sense of judgment regarding to people (when everyone distrusted Ryu, he expressed his open appreciation for him) but often says things that infuriate Megumi. But even though he acts this way, he cares for her, as shown when they where trapped in a secret door in the old school building. He did everything he could to help Megumi as she struggled after getting bitten by a pit viper, even opening up the pipe system to send Ryu and the others an SOS. In addition, another such running gag of Kyu's is his constant misinterpretation of the Japanese language (for example, he said "training pants" when he heard the words "tore han", which means "treasuring hunting").
Kyū had been a single child of a single parent (his mother) for as long as he could remember. He didn't have a father, but there's a certain man who had been acting as his mentor when he was little. When he was six years old, he was kidnapped and held as a hostage by some criminals, but his mentor rescued him. In reality he was none other than Kyu's father (Satoru Renjou, Morihiko Dan's partner and right-hand man). Realizing the high risk of being a detective, Satoru formerly married Kyu's mother in secret to keep his new family safe. After Renjou's death, Kyu's mother hid the truth from Kyu for years, trying to shield him from the danger that the life of a detective is always in; after he was accepted in the DDS, Mrs. Renjou changed her mind and supported him fully. One of his favorite word after solving the mystery is "There could only be one answer!"
Despite escaping dangerous situations, he finds himself facing incredible odds, such as being injured and captured by the Zodiac organization (see Koudoutai trilogy fics). It was during at that time that Kyu actually died, but was revived in part due to the strange event that occurred when the Zodiac finally ended.
It turns that Kyūū is not the only child at all, as he encountered a teenage boy that was identical to him (see Rise of the Orphenochs fic). The Kyūū-look-alikewho is named Kyo, is actually his younger twin brother. It was revealed that his mother, Mizue, actually gave birth to twins, which are Kyūū and Kyo, but a week after birth, an enemy of Satoru Renjou, the twins' father, managed to sneak in the hospital and managed to kidnap only Kyo, and planned to kill him in revenge but was saved by an enigmatic businessman named Kyoji Murakami. But rather than returning the infant he made Kyo his right-hand assistant.
Thus 15 years later Kyūū met and fought his biological twin brother, starting as enemies since he and Murakami worked as allies of Pluto, but eventually discovered each others' true parentage and are now together.
Kyuu became Megumi's boyfriend, but in the course of their battle against a revived Pluto and new enemy SMART Brain, he later learned that Megumi is pregnant and he is the father. They got married but was later revealed that the judge who sponsored their wedding was a Pluto agent in disguise, thus voiding their marriage. Tragedy hit Kyūū and Megumi when a possessed Ryu killed Megumi's unborn child, and Kyūū temporarily went insane with rage, but has since recovered and rescued Ryu and defeated both Pluto and SMART Brain. He has since accepted the fact that his unborn child is gone and remained as Megumi's boyfriend.
During that time he gained a technological belt and cellphone called the Beta Gear, which, if the proper codes are pressed, allow him to gain access to a high-tech suit of armor that gives him weapons and fantastic powers. He got this from Kyo during the Orphenoch incident.
In the fic Paradise Lost, Kyuu died a second time due to being murdered by remaining Pluto members, but was revived and revealed to be a Natural Orphenoch, but when the fic concluded, he was cured and is once again a normal, healthy teenager.
He and Class Q are currently investigating the case involving the disappearance of the famous F-4 of Eitoku Academy (see Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols).
Megumi Minami
Age: 15
Height: 163cm
Weight: 47kg
Blood Type: A
Commonly referred by her friends as just Meg, she has a unique talent of having a photographic memory ("Shunkan kioku" in Japanese), allowing her to memorize a scene instantly. This allows her to notice if a piece of evidence has been moved or is missing. It is believed that she has somewhat of a crush on Ryu. But, throughout we see that she gets somewhat jealous if another girl is with Kyūū.
She studied in the Tokyo National Talent Development Research Center alongside Yutaka Saburomaru. She lives with her older sister Akane (who attends a local university) as her parents work abroad. She also sometimes blushes while looking at Ryu. But later on, she takes a liking to Kyuu.
After the first defeat of Pluto she and Kyūū became a couple, and their relationship was strong. And at times they finally took the next step but made sure they use "protection". Like Kyūū, she came into near brush with death, such as being bitten by a pit viper when locked at the secret room at the old building of DDS, and being captured by the "Collector" during her and Ryu's investigation at the Shibusawa Academy.
In Rise of the Orphenochs, she accidentally got pregnant and Kyūū was the father, and both quit DDS so that Kyūū would find work to support himself and her. Both moved to Kazuma's mansion during a time when Pluto was revived. They even got married, but soon learn that the judge who sponsored the wedding was a Pluto agent, thus nullifying the marriage contract.
But tragedy struck when she was captured by Pluto and in a rescue attempt by DDS she suffered a miscarriage and had to undergo emergency abortion. She was five months pregnant then. After weeks of depression in which she was devastated by this but has since recovered. She is still Kyūū girlfriend and are still together.
Ryū Amakusa
Age: 15
Height: 166cm
Weight: 50kg
Blood Type: AB
Ryu is very intelligent, and his dark background somehow links him to the organization known as Pluto. When his parents died, Pluto took care of him. As a child he was never allowed to socialize with others. He often viewed his house as more of a prison than a home. Even with his cold personality he is still friendly with the other members of Class Q, and shares a special link with Kyu, since he was the first one who could understand him.
Before the fall of Pluto, he learned that King Hades and Anubis were responsible for is parents' death. Since Pluto collapsed he remained with Kyuu and is living with them as if he were a part of the family.
However, during an investigation involving the mysterious deaths of the Shohoku basketball club, he learned that Pluto was alive, via genetic experiments done by scientists of SMART Brain Corporation. He was kidnapped and managed to escape, only to be recaptured.
He was brainwashed and turned into an Orphenoch, and became a very important core member to the two organizations. He remained like this for several months until it took Kyūū and his twin brother Kyo to defeat him and helped him regain his freewill.
He was emotionally scarred upon learning that he indirectly killed Megumi's unborn child, but has since recovered and joined DDS in their final battle against Pluto and SMART Brain, in which DDS won. And thanks to some genetic experiments, Ryu is restored to normal.
He remains with the Renjou family at this time and is currently with Class Q in solving the F-4 missing case. He is also currently in possession of a powerful belt created by SMART Brain called the Orga Gear.
Kazuma Narusawa
Age: 12
Height: 142cm
Weight: 38kg
Blood Type: B
Kazuma is a rich, well known computer games programmer. He often helps to find information on his laptop computer, which he carries around with him all the time. At first after learning that he was a member of Class Q (which at the time was believed to be the lowest) he tried to get transferred in Class A. However, when his classmates came to his aid when he was in trouble he changed his mind, preferring to stay with his friends. Kazuma has a friendly rivalry with Kinta due to their different approaches to detective work. Kazuma and Kinta are often the butt of each others jokes. He is a very smart prodigy, but he can't get right answers without his "lucky" hat as implied in episode 3; he seems to get over this flaw by the end of the TV series.
He played a big role in learning the modus operandi of the Zodiac organization's virus attacks on Japan, and was even playing "adopted father" to Kyuu and Megumi when the latter got pregnant and had to move in to protect them from SMART Brain Corporation and the revived Pluto. Along with Megumi he was kidnapped by Pluto and was there to witness Megumi's abortion in a rescue attempt by DDS.
After the defeat of the two enemies, Kazuma remains with Class Q, and is currently providing vital information in searching for the missing F-4 case assigned to them by Principal Dan (see Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols).
Kintarō Tōyama
Age: 19
Height: 180cm
Weight: 70kg
Blood Type: O
Kinta is the son of a well respected police officer, but moved out due to a family dispute. He now lives alone and works part-time as a mascot on the seafront. Kinta is the strongest member of the class, having had lessons in judo, kendo and karate. He also has superb senses, especially his eyesight and sense of smell. Kinta often mocks Kazuma's high tech approach to detective work, preferring instead to rely on his "instinct". His tough personality as well as his excellent senses, have been very useful at times. He is very strong and sometimes hits either Kazuma or Kyu. He also repeatedly tries to pick up girls (with little success).
He has been appointed as temporary leader of Class Q after the disappearance of Kyuu and Ryu during their investigation on the missing F-4 case, unaware of what has really happened to them (see Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols).

Well…that's all for now. Hope you liked it, and provided a distraction while awaiting the 2nd story arc of Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols. And hope you liked the new info that I added.
Next chapter will be Class A, and soon the new sections will be added as well.
