battle of psychics.

Everything must be serious, they are in an unknown village, so they all stick together. Hu Tao or Kunikida are required to film everything, and the rest are to conduct rituals and identify the cause.

Height: 189 Age: 27

· A shaman who became famous for his bright outfits. To this day, he is kept on television as if only because of the image of a freak; · In the past, he was an actor. After "The Battle" with his participation, TV series with him in the lead roles are often shown; · He plays for the camera instead of demonstrating real abilities. Yes, he has them. In those moments when he is serious and works for real, everyone remains completely delighted. Even Dostoevsky admires such a Gogol; · He sincerely loves fan creativity and himself cuts content for shippers under fake pages.

Relationships:

· She loves Fedor, dreams of winning his favor, so that he opens up to him and allows him to enter his... comfort zone. · Deeply respects Fukuchi. The senior shaman taught the boy everything when he just began his path to esotericism. · He loves to play over Sigma and Adush, in which he is supported by both Dazai and Fedor.

"I am in the prime of life. Men are like wine – they only get prettier over the years."

Height: 192 Age: 45

· A shaman on the screen, a businessman in real life. So influential that he has connections not only in the ordinary world, but also in the otherworld. · Sugar grandfather. More than once he paid Gogol for a place in the final. · A kind character. He uses his abilities for the benefit of other people. I have always dreamed of peace in the world. He donates money to charity and does not advertise it. Drowns for a healthy lifestyle (although he drinks and smokes himself, and keeps a flask in the culm on his chest). · Unironically, he puts reactions from classmates. In general, he is on the same wavelength with young people. He conducts live broadcasts on tiktok, where he answers questions like "Katya 16 Dima 26 will we be together". In general, his tiktok is a fierce mixture of reposts of cucumber rolls and ediths with him as the local Tony Stark.

Relationships:

· Fukuzawa's childhood friend. Both were gifted, but Fukuzawa developed his gift, and Fukuchi chose a career. Later, in order to get closer to his friend, he again plunged into magic. Fukuzawa then introduced him to his student, Rappo. Despite Rappo's dislike, Fukuchi perceives him as a son. · He treats Kolya very warmly. They met on the set, and Fukuchi immediately saw himself in Gogol... Young, inexperienced. With the untapped potential of a psychic. Fukuchi decided to help the actor develop his abilities and became his mentor. · Once he offered Akutagawa to become his student to help him become stronger, but he was so offended by this offer that he still insults him at every test.

A creative guy. He looks harmless, but has a very strong character.

Height: 177 Age: 16

· Adopted son of rich parents. Since childhood, he was a very smart child and saw things that ordinary people could not. It was believed that the boy simply had a rich imagination. Only as a teenager did Sigma realize that he was a medium. · A well-known blogger with an unknown name. He is very talented: he can draw and sing, and his appearance is unusual, and he has money, so it was not difficult to gain an audience... At first glance. In fact, Sigma worked long and hard to succeed and get people to like him. · The newest winner of the "Battle". Many believe that he won undeservedly, purely because of his popularity and appearance, although in fact, Sigma is already much stronger than older rivals at such a young age. He does not like to be underestimated. · In the future, he plans to return to creativity and not connect his life with esotericism, or with the family business, which they want to transfer to him so much.

Relationships:

· Best friend: Atsushi. Together they are engaged in blogging, often shoot collaborations and conduct joint streams. They support each other at the "Battle". · Because of Atsushi, he spends too much time with his teacher, Dazai. It's not that he doesn't like this person, but sometimes it seems that Atsushi is bringing them together on purpose. · They tolerate Dazai's antics out of respect for their friend. · But he can't stand Gogol's jokes. He has long been annoyed by this "TV clown", which, in his opinion, disgraces the art of cinematography, incompetently playing the role even in the most recent films (Wow, Sigma! Have you watched even this? How much fan do you think about me?). · He has to put up with it because of Fyodor, with whom he has a surprisingly good relationship and who, to his even greater surprise, asks to give Nikolai a chance to show himself.

· An injured guy who participates in all seasons of "Battle" only for one person.

Height: 173 Age: 17

· He was born a medium, became a warlock. He studied with the best medium in the country, Osamu Dazai, but failed to live up to his expectations. He took second place and began to study the blackbook to become stronger and gain his recognition; · He is very deeply immersed in the black, he can do many complex rituals, while working with the darkest entities; · Rumor has it that as he gained strength, he paid with his health. He coughs all the time and they don't even cut it out in the episodes; · Initially, he did not maintain any social networks, but videos with his harsh statements went viral so much that it became a forced measure. Aku did not expect that he would be loved for such a character, so this even gave him a little faith in himself.

Relationships:

· Too dependent on Dazai. One day, Dazai praised him, and Aku saw him as a figure to worship for the rest of his life. · A very warm relationship with Chūya, as Chūya took Akutagawa, who was abandoned by Dazai, under his wing. He feels responsible for him and stuffs on everyone who even jokingly hurts Aku. The warlock appreciates this and will always be on Chewie's side, even if he turns out to be wrong about something. · Constantly puts a curse on Atsushi. Once Atsushi broke his leg, and all the audience was sure that it was the work of Akutagawa. Be that as it may, the tiger's health is heroic, so he was filmed with crutches, which Aku was clearly not happy about.

An anxious empath with a kind heart. He has seen everything, but he still cannot hold back tears during trials, he sympathizes with every sufferer.

Height: 170 Age: 17

· A clairvoyant who too often could foresee bad events. He was afraid, refused to believe, and did not accept his abilities until the legendary medium Osamu Dazai appeared in his life; · He participated in the "School of Psychics" together with Akutagawa in Dazai's team. He took 1st place, and Osamu supported him in every possible way (and he hated Akutagawa because of this); · He is often referred to as "Tiger Cub" because of his blogging nickname (tigerboy). A hundred times he had regretted that he had once made such a name for himself; · He shoots voice-over vlogs, which is the main content for fans, because all the funny moments with their favorite rooms (especially fels and skiks) get there.

Relationships:

· Sigma is Atsushi's best friend. They have common interests, they wear paired things, spend a lot of time behind the scenes and drown for each other. These two, along with Rappo, are called the most comfortable trio. · He considers Dazai his savior. Before him, the unfortunate boy from the orphanage was not friends with anyone and could not trust anyone. Dazai gave Atsushi everything: a home, support, helped to unleash his power, and even promote his blog. Atsushi will forever be grateful to his mentor and will do anything for him. · A difficult relationship with Akutagawa. Many times I tried to reconcile with him and offered to forget old grievances, but he stands his ground and does not make contact. · Maybe it's because Atsushi comes to the set in the same taxi with Dazai?

Rude, hot-tempered, but at the same time honest and fair.

Height: 162 Age: 28

· A very strong sorcerer. He has been practicing black magic since childhood. The gift was passed down from his mother, whom he did not really know. Chuya was raised by his older brother, who did not seem to believe in magic, but joked that he was just "cursed". · Sometimes he abuses magic so much that it leads to irreparable consequences. In general, he always walked on a knife's edge: he got into accidents, survived several clinical deaths, miraculously surviving each time. · He came to the "Battle of the Strongest" in the hope that at least in some show he will finally be able to boast of his abilities without the presence of Dazai, but... The organizers cruelly deceived him. · However, his life is not built on esotericism alone. In his free time, he gets tattoos, rides a motorcycle and writes songs.

Relationships:

· As much as Chuya wanted to admit it, he would have been dead by now if it hadn't been for Dazai. This idiot may infuriate, but at crucial moments he provides real help to Chuya, who has lost control. Chuya fully trusts Osamu and, as luck would have it, only next to him, Chewie's power is fully revealed. · The main support and support of Akutagawa. He can be strict when he directs, but then he apologizes and comforts. He is proud of the trust of this closed guy. I taught him a lot of things and was the first in many things. Chuya even got his first tattoo. Now they have paired tattoos. · Dislikes Fyodor. He considers it unfair that a newcomer to TV gets more attention because of his good looks. According to Chewie, he is a few goals ahead of Fedor, who as a warlock is undeservedly appreciated by fans more.

Height: 182 Age: 27

· A medium who finds a common language with the souls of suicidal people. As a child, he fell into the river to commit suicide, and it turned black. That's how he found out that he was gifted. · A young legend. He starred in "Battle" as a teenager. The face of TNT. People may not watch the battle of psychics, but everyone knows Dazai Osama. · During the tests, he twists the theatricality to the maximum and charms absolutely all participants with his breath. Let him just talk about the dead relatives of the people who applied, without revealing the essence of the test, he will still be given the highest score. · After the blackest thing, where Chuya and Dazai were in black and performed an unforgettable ritual together, their duet was nicknamed "double black". The audience liked it so much that the scriptwriters began to deliberately introduce fanservice, shove them everywhere, just to repeat the success. Chuya hates this, and Osamu openly enjoys someone else's irritation, skillfully flirting with the camera.

Relationships:

· He is very sensitive to Atsushi, but... No matter how close Atsushi is to Dazai, he knows that in "this world" Osamu no longer has the closest person. In the moments when Dazai is reunited with his deceased comrade – Atsushi does not know who this soul is, but he feels his presence – the medium's face lights up with calmness, and all the pain can be read from the eyes alone. · Long-time partners with Chuya. We participated together in the same season of "Battle", worked as a pair in "Psychics Investigate", went to different shows and interviews together... · "Chuya said he hated me? Well, there is only one step from hatred to love..." · Dangerous Fedor. The warlock has recently been on the TV screen, but has already shown himself to be a worthy opponent. "You are very lucky not to be with me in the same season. The victory would have been mine." - these very words were said to Osamu at the finale of the season Fedor. Since then, they have been overly interested in each other.

· A clairvoyant (?), who believes that his gift begins to work thanks to an artifact - glasses once given to him by his mentor, Fukuzawa; · Extremely intelligent, most often takes out all trials at the expense of logic; · He uses his abilities for the benefit of people. He helps the police with the investigation of crimes (compiles identities, finds missing people, etc.) and reproaches them for negligence, saying: "Hmm, without a psychic you would not have closed this case in your life"; · Despite his age, he is still a child at heart. He is one of those people over twenty-five who have interests like teenagers. It was for this reason that he found a common language with Atsushi and Sigma. For them, Ranpo is like an older brother, and for him they are "schoolchildren who do not know how to play even in a genius". Their trio is called the most comfortable.

Relationships:

· He is friends with Dazai. He considers him almost her equal. Together they fool around in the frame and behind the scenes. · Fukuzawa's student. Disappointed that he refused to participate in the "Battle" (Ranpo agreed for him, and in the end, Fukuzawa doomed him to participate with Fukuchi); · He still keeps in touch with a psychic from the United States, Edgar Allan Poe. They competed in the same season, where Ranpo won. Now Edgar writes only books from the mystical, and Ranpo reads each one with pleasure and advertises in his telegram channel 28 years old , height 168 cm

The main host of the "Battle". An idealist, a pedant, and a person who truly believes that psychics can make the world a better place. Even when they're arguing in the dressing room over the last pack of cookies.

Height: 178

Age: 34

· He came to television with a journalistic education and a firm conviction: a show about magic should not be a farce. It requires honest tests from the organizers, and a serious attitude from the participants. He argues with directors more often than any presenter in the history of the channel. · Unlike typical showmen, Kunikida does not escalate the drama. If the psychic fails, he will say: "Today is not your day." If he wins, he will shake hands without false pathos. Viewers call him "Daddy of the Battle" (he himself can't stand this word). · He personally checks envelopes with tasks to rule out forgery. He does not trust anyone with this procedure, not even assistants. Because of this, he is always late for filming, but everyone is already used to it. · Behind the scenes is a quiet introvert who drinks sugar-free black coffee and reads crime reports. He does not maintain social networks. Fans found his only photo from ten years ago and are still meming it.

Relationships:

· He keeps a professional distance from the participants, but still managed to become a "moral compass" for many. Atsushi once burst into tears after the ordeal, and Kunikida simply gave him a handkerchief and said, "You did it. Go and rest." That was enough. · He and Dazai have a difficult friendship. Kunikida does not approve of his theatricality and flirting with the camera, but respects him for his real strength. Osamu, in turn, loves to bring the host to a light tic: "Kunikida-kun, you are especially serious today. Haven't you been kissed for three years?" · Ranpo is the only one with whom Kunikida can argue about logic for hours. Their dialogues resemble a chess game. None of the participants risks approaching them at such moments. · He treats Gogol warily, but honestly.

Height: 185

Age: 29

· A psychic who appeared on the "Battle" not as a participant, but as a guest star and sometimes the second commentator in particularly controversial episodes. The organizers invited him for the sake of hype, but he stayed, because "these people won't figure out who is really cool here without me." · Noisy, gesticulating, speaks louder than anyone else. On the set, it can be heard even in the next pavilion. He never takes the microphone from the presenter - he just yells into the audience, and the sound engineers are already used to twisting his track to a minimum. · Self-esteem is off the charts. Losses are attributed to the "biased jury" or "bad energy of the envelope". He celebrates victories as if he won the world championship in magic. At the same time, he is really talented - he can find a lost thing in 30 seconds or call the name of a deceased relative without preparation. It's just that his manner of presentation infuriates everyone around. · He loves shocking. Once I went to a test in a firefighter's costume "to summon the spirit of a heroic firefighter." It did not help to work, but the audience remembered. On TikTok, he has a million views on the clips "Mark Twain said stupid things - and he was lucky."

Relationships:

· They have an eternal conflict with Kunikida. Mark constantly opens the envelopes before the test begins ("I'm checking to see if there's a catch!"), interrupts the host, and comments on the results even before they are announced. Kunikida once said, "If you open the envelope again, I'll leave live." Mark replied: "You won't leave, you love order too much." · Gogol sincerely adores him. They arrange joint streams, where they discuss the "unfairness of the show" and tease Sigma.

Height: 188

Age: 31

· Personal manager of Fyodor Dostoevsky. He is responsible for the schedule, contracts, security, and "so that no one gets into the master's house." I used to work in private security, but after one story (which no one knows completely) I abruptly went into esoteric management. · He is known for having a lobotomy on his own free will, a few years ago. Since then, his emotional range has become... specific. He can still be angry, jealous and adore Fyodor, but he does it in a kind of detached and straightforward way. Participants are afraid of it just as much as they do not understand it. · Fans nicknamed him the "Calm Punisher". Because he never raises his voice, but if someone crosses the line (for example, touches Fyodor too intrusively at a fan meeting), Ivan just takes the person by the shoulder and leads him away. No one knows where. People return quiet and polite. · At the same time, he sincerely cares about Fyodor. He checks the food on the set, wears a second scarf behind him, and reviews each shipper cut to "assess the threats." Ivan collects Gogol's videos with Fyodor separately - for himself, "because the gentleman turned out well there."

Relationships:

· With Fyodor - absolute loyalty. Ivan does not ask questions, does not doubt orders and is ready to do anything. Fyodor, in turn, is the only one who talks to Ivan as if he were an ordinary person - without pity, fear or disgust. "Ivan, I don't like you as a person, but you are effective. That's enough." Ivan considers this to be the highest praise.

"In a village on the edge of the country, all the cows mysteriously died... One of the three psychics is already on his way to the scene to figure out what is going on. And I just live here and enjoy the sun."

"WOW! This is the strongest shaman in the country! I'll stroke his cow avatar organ!"

Height: 158

Age: 14

· An ordinary village teenager who has nothing to do with the "Battle of the Psychics". He has no gift, no role in the program, and he generally learned about the existence of the show by accident - when the film crew came to his village to investigate the mysterious death of cows. · But the audience adores him. Because Kenji is the pure sun. He sincerely admires every psychic, asks silly but cute questions ("Can you talk to my dead chicken? Her name was Curly"), and treats everyone to homemade milk. Editors do not cut him off the air, although they could - ratings are growing with him. · He is not afraid of anyone. Not Dazai with his theatricality, not the gloomy Akutagawa, not even Ivan with his lobotomy. Kenji just walks over, smiles, and says, "You look tired. Do you want an apple?" Even Aku once took an apple. · His main dream is to have cows in the village again. And he also secretly keeps a notebook "Notes on Great Magicians", where he writes down everything that psychics say on camera. There are already 47 pages of nonsense, but Kenji is sure that someday he will decipher it.

Relationships:

· With all the psychics - neutral and enthusiastic. He is not a fan, does not shipper, does not get into dramas. He just thinks everyone is a "very cool person." Even Gogol, whom half of the participants hate. "Uncle Kolya is funny. He showed me a trick with a handkerchief. Was the handkerchief also alive?"

"A woman with dark hair is jealous of you... "I only know one woman. With light ones... "... It means that she has dyed her makeup."

Height: 167

Age: 26

· A fortune teller who came to the "Battle" for hype, but stayed because "they pay and show on TV here." She has no real gift - she uses cold reading, general phrases and rich facial expressions. But he does it so confidently that half of the audience still believes. · Pretentious, but in moderation. He does not shout about his exclusivity, does not wear a kilt and does not summon spirits with a tambourine. Instead, there are expensive clothes, a calm voice, a slight contempt for opponents and perfectly painted eyelashes even on night shoots. · She knows that she is a charlatan, and she is not ashamed of it. In an interview, she once said: "What difference does it make if I see spirits or guess? The main thing is the result." The organizers keep her for the sake of scandals: the participants are furious, and the audience argues in the comments "does she really see or not?". · Her signature technique is to pause, look into the emptiness above the client's shoulder, and then give out something extremely general: "Someone loves you... but he does not speak." It works in 80% of cases. The remaining 20% is attributed to "closed channels".

Relationships:

· He treats the rest of the fortune tellers with condescension. He believes that if you really have a gift, there is nothing to whine about. "Fyodor rushes around with his black-book as with a written bag. And what's the point? I earn no less without a gift." · She adores Mark Twain. They are of the same field: he is a noisy charlatan, she is quiet. Together they drink coffee during breaks and discuss how they "bred another grandmother" (just kidding. almost). Mark calls her a "sister in arms", she calls it "unbearable, but funny". · She has a difficult relationship with Saigiku. A blind fortune teller with a real gift is her sore spot.

"I'm not here to shine. I'm here so he doesn't mess things up."

Height: 185

Age: 48

· A former psychic, now he is the mentor of Ranpo Edogawa. He does not participate in the "Battle", does not comment, does not give interviews. His name is listed in the documents as a "consultant" - simply because the channel needed a signature. Fukuzawa put it down and forgot about it. · Cold, laconic, with a heavy look. The participants try not to get caught by him in the hallways, because he looks like he already knows how you are going to die. In fact, he is just tired of people and wants to go home. · He used to be a strong medium, but left esotericism after a tragic incident (no one knows what it was – Fukuzawa doesn't tell, Ranpo doesn't ask). Now he works with documents, checks contracts and occasionally gives Ranpo advice in the spirit of "don't get involved in arguments with fools". · She loves silence, old sweaters and black tea without sugar. On the set, he sits in the far corner with a laptop and pretends that he is not there. Editors have already learned how to cut it out of the frame if it accidentally hits.

Relationships:

· Ranpo is the most important thing. Fukuzawa raised him, trained him, and gave him the glasses (which Ranpo considers an artifact). He never says "I'm proud of you", but Ranpo still knows. Their communication is 80% silence and 20% short phrases like "don't shame me" (which means "I'm worried" in Fukuzawa). · They greet Kunikida with a nod. That's enough. Kunikida once tried to make small talk, but Fukuzawa replied "don't" and left. Since then, they have been getting along perfectly. · He treats Fukuchi with restraint and coolness. An old friend, but the paths diverged. Fukuzawa disapproves of his "showbiz magic", and Fukuchi believes that the former mentor has "lost the spark". At the same time, in crisis situations, Fukuzawa still helped

So introverted that his raccoon is the only one who has seen his smile in the last three years.

Height: 182

Age: 27

· A warlock from the United States. I came to the "Battle" for the sake of one person - Ranpo Edogawa. He lost to him in the final, after which he swore to appear on TV and now writes mystical novels. But the organizers still periodically call him as a guest star - because the fans demand it. · Sociopath in a mild form: he does not like people, avoids eye contact, answers questions in monosyllables. In the company for more than 15 minutes, he begins to get nervous. The only exception is his raccoon Carl (everyone thinks it's a joke, but Carl actually travels with him and sits in the dressing room). · As a warlock, he is incredibly strong. But due to his unwillingness to communicate with customers and "sell himself", his popularity remains low. Edgar doesn't care: "I write books. The dead do not complain about the quality of services." · In his spare time, he rereads detective stories, collects rare editions, and ignores messages from everyone except Ranpo. Fans nicknamed him "Sad Gothic Hedgehog" - he did not understand whether to be offended or agree.

Relationships:

· With Ranpo is the only affection that Edgar acknowledges. They competed in the same season, and after the loss, Poe did not hate his opponent, but... respected. Now they correspond once a week (exactly three messages from Edgar, 15 from Ranpo). Ranpo calls it "friendship," Po calls it "inevitability." · He treats the rest of the participants neutrally and detachedly. Dazai once tried to talk to him - Edgar simply covered his face with a book and did not open it for 20 minutes. Osamu was delighted: "He ignores me! It's new!" · Gogol tried to paint shipper art with Po and Ranpo. Edgar saw it, silently took the tablet, deleted the file and returned it back. Gogol got the hint. · They have a "truce" with Mark Twain

Height: 152

Age: 13

· Fukuchi's student. The youngest participant in the "Battle" (if she can be called a participant at all, she is more like a "coming star" under the patronage of the teacher). Fukuchi took her under his wing two years ago, when Teruko accidentally started a small fire on the set with her gift (she still doesn't say which one). · Loud, sharp, with the character of "I'll hit you first, then I'll ask." Doesn't raise your voice? Increases. Always. Even when he says "thank you", it sounds like a challenge to a duel. But inside there is an iron sense of justice. If Teruko sees that a weak person is being offended, she gets into a fight without hesitation, even if the opponent is three times larger. · She is often called the "ugly duck" for her harsh statements. Teruko is not offended - "the ugly duck will one day become a swan, and you will remain jellyfish." Fans adore her for her meme phrases and absolute lack of fear of anyone. · She has a strange gift - she feels someone else's "aura outside", that is, emotional outbursts at a distance. He can say: "You have hysterics inside, but on the outside you are calm. You will not deceive me." The participants are afraid of her, because Teruko does not hesitate to voice the truth at the most inopportune moment.

Relationships:

· From Fukuchi - absolute loyalty. He is more than a teacher to her: he is the only one who did not call her "restless" or "too difficult." "If it weren't for Mr. Fukuchi, I would still be setting fire to the school toilet and thinking that this is the norm." For the sake of him, Teruko is ready to do anything: fight off fans, be silent when necessary, or stand to the death. Once she covered it with herself from the fallen scenery. Fukuchi then said, "Are you a fool?" but his voice trembled. · Teruko is wary of the rest of the participants. She calls Akutagawa a "walking cough"

At first glance, it is a quiet shadow behind Akutagawa. On the second - the one who will cross you out of life for one oblique word addressed to him.

Height: 164

Age: 29

· Akutagawa's personal manager. He is responsible for the schedule, transport, contracts and "so that no one touches Ryunosuke". She appeared in the team a year ago, when Akutagawa was left without an agent after another scandal. Higuchi came out of nowhere, but in three months she put things in order so much that even Chuya said, "I could use one." · Daring, but not loud. He does not raise his voice, does not shout, does not threaten openly. Instead, she just smiles, makes eye contact, and says, "Are you sure you want to say that? Think again." The effect is like an ice shower. Mark Twain fell silent after such a phrase for a record 10 seconds. · She is ready to drown anyone who insults Akutagawa. Literally. A fan once said of Aku, "That coughing loser." Higuchi took him by the elbow, led him outside, and returned 15 minutes later alone. What happened is unknown, but the fan wrote a public apology and deleted all social networks. · He adores children. She calls Teruko, Kenji, Sigma, and Atsushi "babies" and carries sweets for them. At the same time, Atsushi once said: "You are scary, but kind." Higuchi smiled, "It's the sweetest insult I've ever had." She bought Teruko a keychain with a raccoon "like that gloomy uncle", Kenji bought a box of apples, and Sigme bought a limited edition sketch handle.

Relationships:

· With Akutagawa - absolute devotion and... something more that she would never name. Higuchi does not get into his personal space, does not ask questions, does not regret openly. But every morning he checks whether he has taken the medicine, every evening - whether he has forgotten to eat. Akutagawa was furious at first, then he got used to it, and now he just nods. These are

"I'm here. It's just that you never see me." Height: 148

Age: 13

· The quietest participant in the "Battle". So quiet that they forgot to invite her to dinner several times, and she sat in the corner of the dressing room for two hours, showing no signs of life. At first, the audience thought that she was a phantom effect - but no, Kyoka is real. · Her gift is a connection with demons. More precisely, the demons themselves come to her. Kyoka doesn't summon them on purpose, they just reach out to her silence like moths to the light. At critical moments, she can ask them for help, and then something terrible happens. Therefore, Kyoka tries not to get angry or nervous. · Previously, her mentor was Kōyō Ozaki, a woman who also worked with demons and was rumored to have completely dissolved in this connection. Kōyō taught Kyoku to control the gift, but the price was high: the girl almost stopped showing emotion. When Kōyō disappeared (or left, no one knows), Kyoku was handed over to Akutagawa. · Akutagawa tried to make a "weapon" out of it - cold, effective, ruthless. But Kyoka broke down. Not externally, but internally. She stopped eating, talking, reacting. Atsushi then took her to his place. And now Kyoka is slowly learning to be a human.

Relationships:

· From Atsushi - the warmest. He does not demand emotions from her, does not press, does not try to "cure". He just sits next to me, talks about his own, feeds me cookies. One day, Kyoka said, "You're not trying to change me." Atsushi replied, "Why? You're already good." Since then, she has been smiling sometimes. Only sometimes. · With Akutagawa, it's difficult. Kyoka is not mad at him, but he cannot forgive him either. He made her stronger – yes. But he also broke something important in her. Now they hardly speak. Akutagawa once tried to apologize—Kyoka just looked at him and walked away.

"I can teach you fashion, etiquette, and how to sneak wine out of someone else's cellar. Or I can make you disappear. Choose."

· She is the former mentor of Chūya, Akutagawa, and Kyōki. Now he is Chewie's manager, but he continues to participate in the "Battle" as a full-fledged player. At first, the organizers did not want to take "another warlock", but Koyo just looked at them - and the issue resolved itself. · Cold, cruel, but not soulless. She will not hesitate to destroy the enemy, but she will never touch her own. "I'm like a samurai sword: dangerous, but loyal." Fans call her "Mama Koyo" (behind her eyes - "Mama Rat", but only in a whisper). · Active but smooth. All her movements are like a dance: polished, graceful, deadly. Even when she's just drinking tea, it seems like a fight is about to begin. Mark Twain once said: "It's scary to sit in the same frame with you. You look like a shark in an evening dress." Koyo smiled, and Mark left to check on the contract. · Feminine and direct. He does not play cat and mouse, does not build intrigues. If Koyo doesn't like something, she'll say it to her face. If she likes someone, she will also say. And he will add: "This is not a compliment. This is a statement of fact." · He adores children and teenagers. Teruko, Kenji, Sigma, Atsushi are all "babies" for her, whom she wants to protect. Atsushi once asked, "You're so kind to us... Why are you so tough with others?" Kōyō replied, "Because you haven't earned my shadow yet."

Relationships:

· With Chuya, there is a difficult relationship between a former mentor and an adult student. Chuya respects her, fears her, and slightly dislikes her (especially when Koyo "accidentally" drinks his best whiskey). At the same time, he knows that if real trouble happens, Koyo will be the first to come to the rescue. "She me off. But I owe her."

"I can heal any wound. Except for the one you inflicted on yourself with your own stupidity."

· Ranpo Edogawa's doctor, manager, and part-time regular consultant to the Battle in case someone overdoes the rituals. Daring, sharp-tongued, but at the same time truly feminine. He even wears dresses with bandages - "patients should be pleased to look at the suffering." · She is smart, fast, and does not tolerate fools. If a participant lies about their abilities, Akiko will smile and say, "Repeat this after I take a blood test." There have been no people willing to test their gift in the laboratory yet. · Her medical approach frightens even demons. One day, Kyoka accidentally summoned an entity that began to behave aggressively. Akiko looked at her and said, "Do you have a fever? No? Then don't interfere," and the demon left. Kyoka still doesn't understand how it worked. · In his free time, he takes the "kids" shopping. Teruko, Kenji, Atsushi are her constant retinue. Atsushi, in turn, carries Sigma with him "for moral support" (in fact, to carry bags). · She believes that the best therapy is a new wardrobe. "You can't control the spirits? But you can control the color of your socks." Teruko then bought pink unicorn socks and became a little less angry.

Relationships:

· With Ranpo - a working tandem, full of mutual respect and jokes. Ranpo says, "You're spending too much of my money on clothes." Akiko replies, "You're wasting too much of my time on logic problems. Consider it payment." In fact, they adore each other, but they admit it only through third parties. With Higuchi - neutrality with a touch of competition. Both are managers, both are strong women

"Are they afraid of me? Great. Do they hate me? Even better. The main thing is not to be ignored. Except you, Fukuzawa. You're ignoring it, and it's driving me crazy."

· Authority. A shadow behind half of the participants in the "Battle". Formally, he is a sponsor and a "consultant on special issues". Unofficially, he is the one who can make the psychic disappear from the air, and then from life. Everyone knows this, but no one says it out loud. · Cruel, cold, calculating. But at the same time, he is joking. He likes to talk to victims politely, with a smile, and then do something that makes them sleepy. "Why do people confuse kindness with security? It's so naïve." · Smart. So much so that not only the participants, but also the organizers are afraid of it. Kunikida tolerates his presence because "Mori never makes a mistake in numbers." Mark Twain once said: "It's scary even to say hello to you." Maury smiled, "That's right." · He's friends with Fukuzawa — or rather, he's trying to be friends. Fukuzawa ignores him. For 12 years now. Mori writes him messages, comes to events where Fukuzawa will be, and gives him gifts. Fukuzawa is silent and looks through. Mori is delighted: "He's the only one who doesn't give in. It's a challenge." · Dazai hates him. Openly, straight, without a mask. In an interview, Dazai once said, "Mori? Someone who pretends to save the show while pulling money from each ritual? Let him burn in hell, which he paid for himself." Mori then laughed: "Osamu is so emotional. Like a child."

Relationships:

· With Fukuzawa, there is an obsession disguised as friendship. Mori knows that Fukuzawa hates him, but for him, it's better than indifference. "Are you looking at me? Are you angry? So I'm still alive for you." Fukuzawa once said to Ranpo, "If he comes up again, I'll leave."

"Dad said that I can do anything. And you know what? He's right."

· She is the daughter of Mori Ogai. The only person Maury really loves is not as a resource, not as a tool, but as... deity. He buys her the most expensive dresses, brings sweets from abroad, personally checks each toy for "safety" (that is, for the absence of hidden threats to other children). · A place in the jury of the "Battle". Formally, he is an "independent expert in aesthetics". In reality, Maury just wanted his daughter to sit next to him and he could look at her. Alice does not understand who psychics are, how a warlock differs from a fortune teller, and why everyone around is so nervous. · Grades only by appearance. "This cute jacket has 9 points. This one has a pimple on his forehead - 2 points. This one looks like my yesterday's barbie - 10, dad, buy me the same one." The organizers no longer argue, because the attempt to explain the rules ended with Alice's hysteria and Maury's threat to "shut down the show". · Impudent, rude, but not evil. Just spoiled to the point where she has no idea how to talk to people who don't have to obey her. "Who are you? It doesn't matter. Bring me juice." If she is refused, she does not shout, but tells her dad. And dad solves issues.

Relationships:

· With Mori, he is a god and a priest in one person. Alice adores her father, not for his wealth, but because he is the only one who never says no to her. "Dad, I want a pink unicorn." "You'll have a unicorn, little one." And Maury really brings her a pony painted pink (the animal was then treated for a month, but Alice was happy). · With the other children (Teruko, Kenji, Atsushi, Sigma, Kyokoy), she plays normally. Because they are not participants, not competitors, not "adults with claims". Alice is just a child with them: she can share candy, draw something, quarrel.

"I can do it. I always cope. Because I am a warrior of justice!"

· The girl that Alice brought to the project from nowhere. Alice herself says: "She just showed up. And I decided that she would be mine." Maury was against it at first ("Another child? Competition?"), but Alice stamped her foot, and the question closed. Now Aya lives either as a friend of Alice, or as her "project", or as an independent participant. · Loud, smart, a real warrior of justice. Injustice can't stand it. If he sees that the weak is being offended, he gets into a fight. It doesn't matter who the offender is: another participant, a demon or Mori himself. "You're big, but that doesn't mean you can do anything!" Mori once said, "She me off. But I can't touch her. Alice will kill me with her eyes." · I went to boxing. Not professionally, but for the soul. He knows how to stand correctly, block and hit. But it was never useful on the project. Because her main strength is not her fists. · Once I just talked to a demon. Kyoka accidentally summoned an entity that began to rage. All the psychics were preparing for the fight, and Aya walked over, looked into the demon's eyes, and said, "Hey. Why are you yelling? Are you having a bad day?" Aya continued, "Let's talk. And then you'll leave, okay?" agreed. We talked for 5 minutes. The demon was gone. No one understood anything. · Since then, Aya has been taken on the project. Formally, he is a "consultant in negotiations with dark entities". In reality, simply because it frightens everyone more than the demons themselves.

Relationships:

· With Alice - a strange friendship. Alice considers Aya to be her "toy", Aya considers Alice to be an "obnoxious princess"

A creative guy. He looks harmless, but has a very strong character.

Height: 177 Age: 21

· Adopted son of rich parents. Since childhood, he was a very smart child and saw things that ordinary people could not. It was believed that the boy simply had a rich imagination. Only as a teenager did Sigma realize that he was a medium. · A well-known blogger with an unknown name. He is very talented: he can draw and sing, and his appearance is unusual, and he has money, so it was not difficult to gain an audience... At first glance. In fact, Sigma worked long and hard to succeed and get people to like him. · The newest winner of the "Battle". Many believe that he won undeservedly, purely because of his popularity and appearance, although in fact, Sigma is already much stronger than older rivals at such a young age. He does not like to be underestimated. · In the future, he plans to return to creativity and not connect his life with esotericism, or with the family business, which they want to transfer to him so much.

Relationships:

· Best friend: Atsushi. Together they are engaged in blogging, often shoot collaborations and conduct joint streams. They support each other at the "Battle". · Because of Atsushi, he spends too much time with his teacher, Dazai. It's not that he doesn't like this person, but sometimes it seems that Atsushi is bringing them together on purpose. · They tolerate Dazai's antics out of respect for their friend. · But he can't stand Gogol's jokes. He has long been annoyed by this "TV clown", which, in his opinion, disgraces the art of cinematography, incompetently playing the role even in the most recent films (Wow, Sigma! Have you watched even this? How much fan do you think about me?). · He has to put up with it because of Fyodor, with whom he has a surprisingly good relationship and who, to his even greater surprise, asks to give Nikolai a chance to show himself.

"She is silent. That's the worst thing." – Chuya

"I'm not scary. I just don't like talking." — Gin

Height: 160

Age: 21

· Akutagawa's sister. The only person Akutagawa listens to without argument. Not because he is afraid, but because he trusts. Gin never raises his voice, does not argue, does not prove. She just talks – and it happens. · Silent. So much so that some of the participants did not hear a word from her in the first month of filming. Not because she is shy - she just does not see the point. Why speak when you can look, nod or smile? · Feminine. He wears simple but elegant clothes, moves smoothly, almost silently. Even as she walks down the hallway, she seems to be floating. Kōyo once said, "You're like water. If you don't notice it, it's already wet." · Fortune teller. Her gift is that everything she says aloud comes true. Not because she predicts, but because her words become reality. "It's going to rain today" – it's raining. "You will stumble" – the person falls. Gin, therefore, says almost nothing. She is afraid of accidentally harming. · For everyone, it is terrifying, scary and frightening. Just because he is silent. People are afraid of the unknown. And Gin is the unknown in human form. Dazai once said, "I have seen demons who are more talkative than you." Gin looked at him. Dazai was silent for three seconds, a record.

Relationships:

· Akutagawa is all that is left of the family. Gin takes care of his brother quietly and without further ado. He checks if he has taken his medication, adjusts his scarf, sits silently next to him when he has a coughing fit. Akutagawa wouldn't let anyone else do that. "It does not get into the soul. She's just... There is. And that's enough." · With the rest of the participants, there is a distance that no one dares to violate. Chuya nods when they meet.

"Kunikida-san, do you have a headache? Here is a tincture of mulberry flowers for you! No, it is not poisonous... almost. Take it, take it, I checked! On yourself."

Height: 156

· The second host of the "Battle" and the main operator of off-screen content. She asked for it herself: once she came to the shooting, introduced herself as a "specialist in public relations and shadows", said that Kunikida had a "migraine aura". Three days later, she was given a badge, a week later she was given access to social networks, and a month later, Kunikida drank a sedative before each of her appearances. · He maintains all the social networks of the program: TikTok, Telegram, YouTube, even the forgotten Odnoklassniki page. He publishes finals, announcements, cuts and, most importantly, off-screen vlogs: how the participants sit in the dressing room, nod their noses during breaks, swear over the last cookie, and Kyoka strokes the demon who came to complain about life. · Her content is loved more than the main show. Because Hu Tao shoots everyone as they are: without masks, without drama, without "I am a great psychic". Even Akutagawa once smiled in the frame (then denied, but the video went viral). · She is not psychic. Or a psychic? Nobody knows. Sometimes Hu Tao says strange things: "Oh, a fly will die on the third floor today," and the fly actually dies. But she brushes it off: "I just have a gut feeling. Or hallucinations. Or am I the deity of death, haha! Just kidding. Or not?" · He loves practical jokes, jokes and strange tinctures. Kunikida is more afraid of her than Mori. Because Mori is at least predictable. And Hu Tao can say to the host on the air: "You have a pimple on your nose, let me disguise it with a candle?" and take out a lighter.

Relationships:With Kunikida is an eternal battle of "Chaos vs Order". Kunikida thinks every morning: "Maybe she won't come today?" Hu Tao always comes. With a smile, with a thermos of "firefly tea" and with a new plan on how to "revive the ether"
