{Kevin Day_Jean Moreau_Jeremy Knox}

Kevin Day. Nicknamed "Son of Exy" (along with Rico). Date of birth: February 22nd. Zodiac sign: Pisces. Dark hair, green eyes. Forward for the Foxes (Palmetto University), former player for the Ravens (Edgar Allan). Residence: Fox Tower (room 317), formerly "The Nest." Mother: Kaylee Day (deceased); father: David Wymack; former guardian: Tetsuji Moriyama; "half" brother: Rico. Exy is Kevin's whole life; he looks down on those less dedicated to the sport. He's not afraid to harshly point out the shortcomings of others. Due to a difficult past (being raised by Moriyama, abuse by Rico), Kevin developed anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. He doesn't know how to cope with stress in healthy ways—he often lashes out at others or starts drinking (he didn't drink before joining the Foxes). Kevin had a tattoo of the number "2" on his left forearm. As a child, he drew it with a permanent marker and later covered it with a queen chess piece. This symbolizes that the queen is the most powerful piece, despite being less "important" than the king (Rico). Kevin has a special bond with Andrew: he guards Andrew's medication while he's sober and believes Andrew will protect him from the Moriyama clan. Kevin is initially distant with Neil, but later sees his enormous potential and begins training with him. After his mother died in a car accident, Kevin was taken in by Tetsuji. He grew up with Rico in Evermore Castle, spending all their time training and being considered the team's unofficial mascot. Rico broke Kevin's arm. The injuries were covered up as a skiing accident. Afterward, Kevin transferred to Palmetto University, first as an assistant coach to Wymack, and then as a full-time forward for the Leafs, having to relearn how to play right-handed. Upon learning that the Ravens had changed districts to compete, Kevin was apprehensive about returning to Rico and attempted to physically confront Wymack, but ultimately remained with the team. Kevin rarely smiles, except in front of the media, which is why he is often considered arrogant. Kevin is 184 cm tall.

Jeremy is a good athlete who values ​​trying his best, competing fairly, and improving himself and his team over simply maintaining his title or winning at any cost. He is willing to sacrifice a guaranteed victory to test the team and identify weaknesses for improvement. He is secretive when it comes to his family life and past scandal. He hides most of his negative feelings and rarely allows himself to be openly upset, especially about himself. He has a tendency toward self-destruction and seeks relationships with men who disrespect and insult him. When stressed, he resorts to smoking. Jeremy is the embodiment of true sunshine. He's a Captain Sunshine.

Exi is a fictional team sport. Exi is a hybrid game that combines elements of lacrosse, hockey, and football. The field (court) is similar to a football field, but it is surrounded on all sides by plexiglass (organic glass) about 13 mm thick. The gate is marked with a rectangle on the wall. A goal is only counted if the ball touches a wall and lights up with a red light. Equipment: players are required to wear a protective helmet (it is removed only with the permission of the referee). Knee pads, elbow pads and groin protection ("shell") are also recommended. There are four positions in the game - forward, midfielder, defender and goalkeeper. Six players from each team can be on the field at the same time. Match duration: two halves of 45 minutes each with a 15-minute break. Body checks: Rough pressure is allowed, but only against the ball carrier or the one who is about to receive a pass. Physical contact with the goalkeeper is prohibited. Restrictions: you cannot hit the opponent with a stick, and the goalkeeper has the right to play with his hands. The story of the creation of
Ekshi was invented by Kaylee Day (Kevin's mother) and Tetsuji Moriyama about 30 years ago in Japan (at the University of Fukui) as an experiment. The game first spread to the university environment, then to street teams, and later outside of Japan when Kaylee returned to the United States. In the center of the story is the team "Foxes" of Palmetto University. This is a group of outsiders, each of whom has a difficult past and psychological traumas. For Neil, playing Exi becomes a way to escape from his pursuers and find a new family. Through the exi, the themes of trust, overcoming the past and the power of team cohesion are revealed.
