Kim Dokja
PRONOUNS: he/him
AGE: appears 31ish
HEIGHT: 5'9" (176 cm)
EYE/HAIR: Black/Black
PLAYER: Jeva
PRONOUNS: She/Her
PRONOUNS: She/Her
SQUICKS: chest bursting parasites and things to do with Achilles tendon--let's not that, ok?
NOTABLE CHARACTER TRAITS: Seems Very Ordinary at first glance, maybe even a bit difficult to process his facial features concretely when away from him long enough. Small details stick around, though. Like the fact that he has some signs of dark circles under his eyes, or that there are signs of scarring on his hands from various conflicts. If you manage to get him to show off his arms, there's the number 6424 stitched into his left forearm. Don't even worry about it.
Probably weirder is that he bleeds black inked words and letterings instead of blood, huh.
Running log of any physical changes/scarrings here.
OTHER NOTES: Magic-sensing types might get the feel this guy is Definitely Not Ordinary and probably far older and more powerful than he's capable of in the library. The occasional wings and horns might also give away some of the Evil, Holy, and Chaotic pings. Dragon types might also be pinged, mystery why that would be.
There are A LOT of ORV spoilers, so I will be marking threads that involve them. If you have questions, feel free to ping me!
... I forgot about shipping things, uh. You can try? He probably won't notice unless you're real in his face about it, and even then, he'll think you're wrong. Hard Mode Would Sooner Self-Sacrifice Self For Loved Ones Instead Of Telling Them They're Loved. If that's your type, RIP.

Day 3
- written on the page for the character the color of Arts and Recreation
If I remember right, the writing on Regina, the character the color of Philosophy's page was: "I try" written over and over again and words like "Help", "I take over an empty throne", "Who am I" and "Who is he"
Squiggles McGunDeath (I wished I was making this up, just who has this kind of naming sense?) appears to be different from these two other characters, possibly in line with the opposing faction here. This guy was a pain who enforced talking about certain subjects or else be subjected the penalty of being turned into paper and possibly eaten.
It's a bizarre story so far, but the cast at least is interesting. Judging by the color matches, there are probably 3 other characters with color matches and who knows how many other "Squiggles" for the opposing faction.
Jotting my thoughts in this notebook for now, at least until I get some of my library.
Assuming it stays together if I remove the stitching.
It's hard to say.
I don't really want to think about it, so I'll leave it here.
Character List
It's a bad habit, I know.
But there is an actual story here.
Or at least one that can be recovered.
Maybe... it'll help to know how to do it right...
The Drawings
Regina
?)Page writings: "I try" written over and over again and words like "Help", "I take over an empty throne", "Who am I" and "Who is he"
Initial Introduction: 4 doors marked as follows: "love", "LOVE", "fear", "despair"--likely representative themes of what's behind the doors with a task needing to be completed.
Door Chosen: "despair"--falling through space surrounded by stars. the stars burned to the touch without damaging the skin. taking up the stars slowed the descent. enough stars caused a complete stop. used a satchel to collect enough stars. throwing a star down showed a glimpse of destruction. a pattern was in the stars, I thought it looked like a person so I finished the figure while standing on a star I placed. my legs felt like they were melting off the whole time. I also saw more and more scenes of destruction, just watching it unfold (it's not unfamiliar, and at least they were largely natural occurrences). falling off the star again and looking up at it, I saw something indescribably beautiful (it's more I don't want to describe it, even that's too much, I can't). sweat and tears collected. time slowed to a stop. these droplets became ink, and I used that ink along with the pen we were given to write "Hello, World." I received a response. see also: the first Public Missive. I was shoved out of the sky and back into the library.
After: we were given access to supplies and able to write out the place we would be living in for the next while. Regina says she thinks she used to be a queen.
more to go here as I get more information.
it's kind of nostalgic, like writing up all those power charts before. hopefully, it also helps in the long run.
Update: Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru went through the "Fear" door and encountered something they had to fight. Gojo Satoru claims to have met "a ghost" who said their heart has been put somewhere to keep it safe(?) and has since been lost.
Azul Ashengrotto has information regarding one of the doors, an office that centered around one of the loves. Will write more when I get the full details.

?)Page writings: "To those I miss(?) and those I --(?) to those who smile and those who cry have fun(?) tried to laugh have you(?) tried to look the other way perhaps the tragedy is all your own fault."
Initial Introduction: ran a scenario involving ranking the colored groups in order from Least Expendable to Most Expendable and choosing 3 people we would die for
The Scenario: if not for Emet-Selch, I was inclined to put Arts & Rec last. if I were alone and it was that kind of bloody scenario, at least I have some experience with that? but since Emet-Selch was there, he requested that Arts and Rec be prioritized. he also expressed a want to ease the 2 kids on Philosophy's troubles by putting them higher on the rankings. the second round began with an announcement that Philosophy was eliminated because "they were unloved". we were asked to name something that would aid us in finding the princess. probably I should have put in a request for unsewing one of my skills, but I had thought it was a dangerous game, so I was worried about Philosophy. besides, I truly do think that we need everyone here to be able to solve the mystery of where the princess has disappeared to.
After: Social and Natural Sciences won along with Arts and Rec. I'm pretty sure we only won because we voted on ourselves while the other two have strong connections with siblings across the two groups. Languages, unharmed. Philosophy, unharmed but covered in whipped cream for some reason. Arts and Rec's reward: bouquet of roses which had the shared penalty for Philosophy as requested. Social Sciences received a pamphlet. Natural Sciences received a med kit and a ribbon of dark blue because they were highest voted.
I'm relieved that it was an easier scenario, but I'm also a little annoyed that I, out of habit, took it far more seriously than it needed to be. I could have really used something else for that second round answer, even if I don't regret what I answered.
This guy's a pain. Especially when people keep commenting that they can't tell if he's laughing or crying. Hey. Stop putting on a show like that when the people you took onto your colors would prefer not?
Squiggles McGunDearh (seriously who named this one???)
Page writings: None (Scribbles?)
Initial Introduction: shooting people and a name tag gets stuck on them that they cannot remove until they address the subject mentioned on the tag. penalty for not cooperating: being turned into paper and possibly eaten.
The Tag: I kept being hit with tags about my "eating habits". a number of people kept guessing it was "humans", and there was a number of troublesome explanations about that which I didn't especially want to get into, but at least it seems most people understand I have preferred ways of going about it. there were a number of interesting summaries of different stories. honestly, I did my best to refrain but if people approached me, obviously I'm going to ask?
After: Regina gifted us with mason jars and a pot. she didn't seem clear on why she was able to gather the energy for it. progressing the story? connections between people? the truths spoken? or maybe it's just the presence of us living?
Squiggles seems to be on the side against Regina wanting to care for us. could be with the Darkness that took the Princess? hard to say...
Chrétien
Page writings: none
Initial Introduction: A restricted section of books appearing on the stage in locked bookcases.
The Books: Collection of unfinished stories that may be affected by Darkness where some people have already disappeared. Confirmed Lukai Hwei is one of the people who has fallen into one of these unfinished stories. Also confirmed that finding the princess and finishing this story will help those trapped be free again.
Other information: Chrétien appears as an androgynous person with blue hair and aqua eyes. Largely spoke with a depressive attitude of defeatism, believing themself to be "wise" and not willing to expend unnecessary energy for a story that will, inevitably (to them), fall into Darkness. This could explain why they have more of a physical form and awareness as a person? It could be that the others have expended more energy and therefore used up their abilities to maintain their form. It's just theory, but other theories could be that as we do more here in the Library, they become less fragmented. Either way, eventually, I got sick of their attitude (it reminds me too much of that stupid sunfish's regression depression), so I hit them with my satchel. It seemed to hit them harder than I thought it would (is it because of it being larger on the inside? because I had my notebook in it and there's unique properties there as well? because of the action having a certain significance? hard to say, currently, will have to experiment with that). They claimed that they deserved it and then disappeared in a show of blue petals.
Item Received: A matchstick with a light blue head. ("I'll tell you a secret then.")
It's annoying when they talk so much about how their inaction isn't an action in itself. As if I wouldn't know something about that.
Just watching is enough of a crime, you know.
Joseph (I am not putting down the whole over-the-top title he gives himself)
Page writings: "That's rich."
Initial Introduction: Announcing of a task to come up with resource book ideas for each section as well as a collectively agreed upon social gathering location to add to the library. Caveat that he is permitted to edit these ideas as he sees fit.
Book Ideas: Arts and Recreation settled on asking for more dishware and means to create more as needed. Assorted other ideas for the other sections. (further notes on this as we gain access to finish products)
Other Information: Joseph claims to have a king's disposition but was not in charge of who was brought into the library ("I am but a humble--" before switching to calling himself a lord, don't think I won't remember that), so he has no idea the type of people brought in. When asked what he wanted to see from the story, he answered "A happy ending, perhaps." and said that he believed in us to achieve it before disappearing into (fake) gold coins.
Task is currently still on-going, but... this guy... at least settle into your persona a bit more? He seems kind of awkward and playing up his role. It could be seen as incompetence, but it could also be that he's just bad at acting.
After: Each section received 1 book slot on their shelves + the cat cafe for the entire library. Joseph appears to have hands now.
Still not sure what it is that is enabling them to come back to themselves. Creative energy? Or just rebuilding the shelves?
Scarring and Physical Things Obtained in the Library
words carved into his left forearm:
My Fragile Heart
I was afraid of the world
My Growing Heart
He saved me from the scorched sky and rising waves.
My Protected Heart
And when the armies came, and the monsters, and the end of the world
My Stolen Heart
He took me somewhere safe.
My Heart, Oh, My Aching Heart
. . . but the door is locked. And not even love is the key.
