Scaramouche (modern)

Name: Kunikuzushi “Scaramouche” Age: 21 years old Height: 1.74m

His hair remains that dark blue-purple, falling in messy strands over his violet eyes, which always carry a wry, weary look, as if the world were boring. His skin is clear, almost flawless, and his physique is lean but well-defined, the result of an enviable metabolism (since he doesn't exert himself too much). Always somewhere between sloppy and stylish: baggy t-shirts, black pants, oversized jackets, and sneakers. At home, he wears sweatpants and messy hair. He has a penchant for discreet accessories: rings, necklaces, and sometimes a chain in his pocket.

hair: Short asymmetrical bob cut – because its cut is rounded, chin-length, with the ends slightly turned outwards.

It's also sometimes described as a modified hime cut, as it resembles the traditional Japanese style (straight bangs + defined sides), but in his case it's messier and more modern.

In the Modern AU, he would probably wear this cut with a messy look (messy on purpose), which gives him even more of that lazy and mocking charm that only he can have.

Scaramouche is a guy who walks a fine line between sarcasm and laziness. He likes to give sharp comebacks, but without getting up from his chair. He'd rather lie down playing video games or fiddling with his phone than exert himself in strenuous activities. He's not antisocial, but he is selective: he only hangs out with friends who are worth his time, and when he does, it's usually with provocative jokes. Despite his detached demeanor, he has a quick, observant mind and knows how to manipulate situations to always come out on top.

typical phrases:

“You don’t have anything better to do than annoy me, do you?”

“Get up, I’m too comfortable.”

“No, I’m not mad. I was just born with this face.”

“If I win, you pay for the pizza. If I lose… you pay for it too.”

Scaramouche grew up in a complicated family, always feeling like "the piece that doesn't fit." Today, he lives alone in a small but stylish apartment, filled with consoles, action figures, and a battery of energy from soda and ramen noodles. He works little (small online freelance jobs), because he prefers to live on the bare minimum to sustain his comfortable lifestyle. Sometimes, he gets together with friends to play games or go to karaoke bars, where he surprisingly has a good voice, although he always complains before singing. He's the kind of guy who seems indifferent to everything, but when he gets attached, he becomes possessive in an almost silent way.

Playing video games until the early hours of the morning (especially competitive games where you can insult others in chat).

Sleep late.

Sarcasm as a favorite pastime.

Bars, karaoke and nightlife (when he decides to go out).

Raiden Ei (Shogun Raiden) – “The mother who is not a mother” She's the stern "aunt" who always tried to control him when he was younger. She doesn't live with him, but she occasionally sends him messages full of advice that he ignores. Their relationship is complicated: Scaramouche avoids contact, but deep down, he respects her strength and determination. There's always that "family argument that never gets resolved" vibe. Long, straight, midnight-black hair, always well-groomed, intense violet eyes, and elegant purple and black clothing. She has a serious, always impeccable posture, as if she were the CEO of something.

Yae Miko – “The fox who knows everything” That friend/troublemaker who shows up uninvited. She works in some creative field (like a writer or editor for an online magazine) and is always teasing Scaramouche. She knows his secrets and loves to throw them around just to see him get angry. Despite this, she's one of the few people he actually listens to, even when he grumbles. Long, light pink hair that falls in a slight wave, shrewd pink eyes, and a smile that never inspires complete confidence. Modern clothes, always in bright colors, high heels, and luxurious accessories.

Kazuha – “The zen of the crowd” His calmer friend, the one who tries to balance Scaramouche's acidity with wise words. He often drags Scaramouche along on hikes, bike rides, or other outdoor activities, and sure, he complains the whole time, but he goes anyway. Their friendship is like yin and yang: one is always irritated, the other is always serene. White, disheveled hair tied in a messy bun, and gentle, pale red eyes. She wears light, casual, and comfortable clothing, usually light-colored sweatshirts, baggy jeans, and worn sneakers.

Childe (Tartaglia) – “The annoyingly nice guy” The typical friend who invites himself to everything. He works, supports his siblings, is responsible… and that's why he loves to pull Scaramouche along, telling him he needs to "live more." Scaramouche never admits it, but he likes his energy. Of course, he never misses the chance to call him a "tired family man." A redhead with messy hair and vibrant blue eyes, he comes across as a friendly and confident guy, wearing well-groomed casual clothes, usually open shirts, jeans, and stylish sneakers.

Xiao – “The Silent Partner” One of the few with whom Scaramouche can go hours without speaking. They both share an introspective vibe, but while Scaramouche is more playful, Xiao is truly serious. They play games together late at night and sometimes go out for ramen without exchanging more than three sentences, yet they still understand each other perfectly. Black hair with aquamarine tips, falling to his shoulders. Cold amber eyes, almost always with a serious expression. He wears dark, simple clothing, often with a hood and combat boots, always with a reserved air.

Mona – “The Nosy Neighbor” She probably lives near him and always ends up knocking on his door to borrow something (salt, sugar, charger). They fight like cats and dogs, but she's one of the few who can keep up with his barbs without missing a beat. There's a fun rivalry between them. Long, dark brown hair with a slight purple tint, usually tied in a ponytail. Deep blue eyes. Wears comfortable yet stylish clothing, usually loose sweaters, shorts or skirts, and boots.

Venti – “The Bad Influence” The party-loving friend who always tries to drag Scaramouche to parties, bars, and karaoke bars. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he doesn't. When he succeeds, Scaramouche becomes the guy who sits in the corner looking bored while Venti sings on stage. However, Scaramouche likes his chaotic ways but will never admit it. Short, dark green hair, always a bit messy, and light blue eyes full of mischief. He wears colorful casual clothes, often layered with necklaces and bracelets, with the air of a street artist or musician.

Albedo – “The Mysterious Friend” More of a colleague than a close friend. He's the one who rarely shows up at gatherings, but always brings up a strangely deep conversation. Scaramouche enjoys talking to him because Albedo doesn't judge, just observes. Light blond hair, slightly wavy and always very well-groomed. Calm blue-gray eyes. He wears minimalist clothing, neutral tones, well-ironed shirts, sweaters, and clean shoes, always impeccable.

Heizou – “The busybody” One of the few who can stand up to him. Heizou is that lazy friend who shows up at his house unannounced, steals food from the fridge, and even beats him at online games. They constantly argue over petty things, but in reality, they have a competitive, provocative friendship. Slightly spiky reddish-brown hair and playful green eyes. He wears cool jackets, printed t-shirts, and colorful sneakers, always with a mischievous smile on his face.

Country: Inazuma (with large, neon-lit cities and tradition mixed with urban life).

City: Mizuhanome (水花の芽, "Water Flower Bud"), a coastal metropolis known for its skyscrapers filled with bright screens, 24-hour cafes, and neighborhoods that never sleep. It's the kind of city where karaoke bars share corners with arcades, and where the nightlife is as intense as the day.

Scaramouche lives in an apartment in Aoyamachi, an alternative urban neighborhood in Mizuhanome, famous for being a hangout for young people: anime cafes, record stores, bars hidden in alleys, and many compact apartments.

He lives in a mid-sized apartment in a big city, on the eighth floor of a building that's not exactly new, but it's conveniently located near cafes, nightclubs, game stores, and a square where friends sometimes meet. He chose the place more for the convenience of "not having to walk far" than for luxury.

Internal environment: Living room: This is the most used space. A worn black sofa is littered with haphazardly thrown pillows. In the center, a glass table is always occupied by video game controllers, energy drink cans, and a few open packets of chips. In front, a large TV stacked with every possible console and cable mess, but only he understands the logic. The walls are covered in anime and game posters, some a little crooked.

Bedroom: Always dark, blackout curtains drawn. Double bed with dark sheets, a wardrobe that seems to be constantly at war with organization, and a bookshelf with action figures and game collections. His laptop usually sits open on a small table, surrounded by headphones and extra controllers.

Kitchen: Small and simple, but functional. The cupboards are 70% ramen noodles, instant coffee, and snacks. The rest are barely used pots and pans. The fridge is mostly filled with energy drinks, soda, and a drawer with some forgotten food.

Bathroom: Minimalist, too clean compared to the rest. Scaramouche is vain, even if he won't admit it, so the mirror always has skin cream, perfume, and expensive shampoos.

General style: A mix of minimalism and controlled clutter. He doesn't like anything too fussy, but he also doesn't allow himself to be completely sloppy. It's the kind of place that looks messy to any visitor, but he knows exactly where everything is.

Extras that reveal who he is:

A black and white cat (Whiskers) who always lies on the sofa or on the window.

A shelf full of expensive collectibles (he pretends not to care, but cleans it every week).

Blue and purple LED lights that turn on at night, giving the room a total gamer vibe.

On the balcony, a simple chair where he sometimes sits in the early hours of the morning, listening to music with headphones and looking at the city.
