CHARACTER INFO:
Name: Iwamine Shuu
Source: Hatoful Boyfriend
Canon point: Post-Holiday Star, no BBL, guidebook continuity
Gender: male
Age: 27
Colour: #CC0000
Chumhandle: hippocraticHeretic
History: >Begin infodump.
Firstly, have some pre-canon worldbuilding exposition if you want to make sense of all those birds. Basically, virus shenanigans kill off most humans and turn birds into the dominant... class? Yeah.
Shuu was born in 2161 as Ichijou Utsuro. His parents were very influential as well as massively deceitful jerks. Not exactly the best familial influence. When he was about 3, a human terrorist bombing left him orphaned and disabled.
At age 7, he changed his name to Isa Souma and went missing. In his teen years, he joined a right-wing anti-human political party and started working in a research lab where he met Kawara Ryuuji, who became his best friend as well as the target of his ~*awkward covert teen homo affections*~. Unfortunately, Ryuuji was completely oblivious as well as married and with a child. When he died due to virus shenanigans, he requested that Souma take care of his family.
Between the ages of 19 and 27: his response to the request of stopping the conflict between birds and humans was to attempt to wipe out the human race. He inadvertently drove a young bird to suicide. He changed his name to Iwamine Shuu, and he began work as a school doctor at St Pigeonation's.
Personality: The students of St Pigeonation's regard Shuu as highly suspicious and extremely creepy. They're not wrong. His idea of humour is dropping vague death threats to those who irritate him. His laugh is a menacing "ho ho ho". Oh, and there are his (canonical) necrophiliac tendencies. He really loves his corpses.
When something (or someone) gets in his way, he will remove the complication by any means necessary. Take a drink every time the phrase "I did what had to be done" threatens to rear its clichéd head. Consider his dating route: he presumably falls in love with the main character and he keeps her severed head as a post-mortem memento, but that doesn't mean he wasn't the one to murder her in the first place. (What? She knew too much.) He's pretty much your standard mastermind, actually: cold, calculating, manipulative, incredibly intelligent. Iwamine Shuu will play you like a puppet. He plays all the puppets, But he's not about to put on his one-bird puppet show for just anyone. Unless he's reaping some sort of benefit, he's not gonna do jack. But so long as his interests coincide with yours, you've got yourself a useful ally.
People and emotions are not Shuu's strengths. He's got the whole "traumatic childhood, dead love interest" thing down. Ryuuji was in the process of melting his ice king persona before he, you know, died. It's not that Shuu is incapable of emotion, it's just that he's very reserved and basically unflappable. That said, the one flaw in Shuu's self-serving bastard routine is how he's still not over Ryuuji. The fact that he took in Miru and Kaku (the results of one of Ryuuji's past experiments) is enough, as they are quite possibly the most annoying beings to ever exist.
Abilities & physical limitations: The terrorist bombing Shuu survived as a child left him with colourblind (save for the colour red) and with nerve damage in his right wing: he can still use it, but manual labour is out.
He can fly, obviously, but not for extended period of time. Partridges aren't exactly known for their flying prowess. He'll doubtless be smaller, lighter, and more feathery than most allies or adversaries, but remember that the birds of Hatoful Boyfriend are larger, smarter, and just generally more evolved than those of today. They can use their wings for doing things that you'd swear would typically require opposable thumbs: anything from playing pianos to riding motorbikes to dismembering corpses. It should be noted that, although presumably untrained in combat, he has shown the ability to sneak up on experienced hunters and murder trained spies.
Appearance: See the anime dude on the left? Good. Ignore him and feast your eyes on that sessy chukar partridge to the right. (Girl, look at that body.)
Notable AU differences from canon: Let's say that he lives in the infirmary at St Pigeonation's because 1) come on we've never actually seen his house, 2) he practically lives and breathes work anyway, and 3) I find it hilarious for some reason.
Strife specibus: Knifekind. What can I say, the bird loves his cleaver. He is also capable of creating any number of chemical weapons using ~science~ should the need arise.
Prototyping: Miru and Kaku, who obviously mistook the kernelsprite for some sort of mystical bauble and prototyped themselves before anyone could really figure out what the hell was going on. Since they are completely identical, the simultaneous prototyping had no special effects whatsoever. Game constructs emit cries of "Merry Christmas!" all year round, which is fairly harmless but infinitely annoying.
Title: Wing of Dread.
In-game abilities: Wing is a class that is able to cast enchantments, of a sort. A Wing would be capable of imbuing objects and places with their aspect, affecting those who interact with them. For example, a Wing of Void might create "safe zones" that keep those within completely undetectable. For example, a Wing of Void might create "safe zones" that keep those within completely undetectable.
Dread is an aspect related to anxiety, apprehension, and fear. Or something like that.
As a Wing of Dread, Shuu would imbue things with... dread. Hitting anyone trying to interact with them with a nasty case of bad mojo. Sort of like cursing them, in fact. Let's call it cursing. If you tried to touch Shuu's stuff, you'd be compelled to drop it like it's hot. He's be able to make enemies turn tail and run by cursing the ground beneath them and scaring them shitless. Of course, until he learns to harness these powers, he's pretty much just gonna be projecting a freaky aura. People hanging around him will feel pretty creeped out. Wait, are those his abilities at work or just the natural reaction to his personality? Nobody knows.
(Let's just pretend that I had some idea of what I was writing there, okay?)
Planet: Anyone trapped within the stone maze of the Land of Walls and Steins would doubtless be driven to insanity. Fortunately, Shuu can fly. That doesn't mean the entire place isn't completely tedious, though. The many flowers and vines growing up along the walls do nothing to liven the scenery because Shuu is colourblind, you insensitive twat. The only things that stand out to him are the multitude of blood-red chrysalises lying dormant on the plants, unable to mature thanks to the denizen Himnesia. This is really freaking the butterfly consorts out. Someone should probably get the reproductive cycle back to normal before they die out. Yeah.
(The steins portion of the name likely refers to the German word meaning stone, but Shuu can think of no logical reason for its inclusion. It is probably party of an absurd cosmic joke. In truth, it's less a joke and more a horrific amalgamation of puns and references, with a hearty dose of yes alright but why would you even do that.)
RP sample:
HH: Well, this is certainly an interesting development.
HH: Monumental, in fact,
HH: If you would care to repeat your previous statement?

MKSPRITE: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
HH: Fascinating. Please, continue.
MKSPRITE: MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
TK: fuck i'm dying over here
TK: this is completely ridic jsyk
HH: I am well aware of that fact.
HH: But as I am struggling to find a single thing about this entire situation that is not completely ridiculous, I am choosing to ignore it for the moment.
TK: fine whatevs
TK: but listen we've gotta prototype again
TK: if i hear another merry christmas i'll
MKSPRITE: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
TK: oh fucking piss on me
HH: I don't think I can do that.
HH: Perform a second prototyping, that is.
HH: Though pissing on you is similarly off the cards.
HH: You seem to have misunderstood how a bird's excretory system functions.
TK: ok let's just drop this subject
TK: why can't you prototype
TK: no offence but your sprite is p much useless rn
HH: You said that sprites can be prototyped twice, yes?
TK: yeah
HH: In other words, with two objects.
TK: ok so what's the holdup
HH: Miru and Kaku were both prototyped. Simultaneously.
TK: oh
HH: So, correct me if I'm wrong, but...
TK: shit
HH: Yes, unfortunately enough.
HH: Another prototyping is as impossible as me pissing on you.
TK: fuck
TK: so we're
HH: Indeed, we're stuck with it.
TK: we're fucking christmas-stuck
MKSPRITE: MERRY CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
TK: kill me now
HH: Don't be absurd. It would be terribly foolish to kill my server player.
HH: Additionally, your physical form is not in my vicinity.
HH: I couldn't do so even if I wanted to, believe me.
HH: In any case, this is no time for sprite-related woes.
HH: Shall we get back to the task at hand?
HH: The clock is, as they say, ticking.
TK: is it too late to be someone else's server player or
