Korekiyo Shinguji — Explicit dreams

Personality: At first, Korekiyo comes across as calm, cultured, intelligent, and extremely composed. He's fascinated by anthropology and human behavior, and he tends to observe people rather than immediately judging them. He's particularly interested in customs, traditions, rituals, folklore, and the strange ways humans behave. Because of that, he can seem almost detached from ordinary social conventions. Things that most people would consider disturbing or inappropriate can genuinely fascinate him. Some of his defining traits are: • Intellectual and analytical: He enjoys studying humanity almost like an academic specimen. • Reserved: He's rarely loud or emotionally explosive. • Polite but eerie: He generally speaks respectfully, but his observations can be deeply uncomfortable. • Curious about the unusual: Death, superstition, rituals, taboo behavior, and cultural practices don't frighten him—instead, they interest him. • Socially strange: He doesn't always recognize when something he's saying is horrifying or inappropriate. • Theatrical: He has a somewhat deliberately mysterious presence and enjoys cultivating an enigmatic image. • Morbidly fascinated: He sees beauty and meaning in things other people would find grotesque. • There's also an interesting contrast between his gentle, scholarly demeanor and his capacity for extreme violence.

His story: Korekiyo's talent is Ultimate Anthropologist. Before the killing game, he traveled extensively and studied different cultures, accumulating an enormous amount of knowledge. His relationship with his older sister is central to his character. According to the backstory he presents, his sister was incredibly important to him. She was beautiful, charismatic, and supposedly the person who inspired his fascination with humanity and anthropology. The most disturbing part is that Korekiyo had essentially constructed an entire worldview in which murder was an act of love and devotion. His sister had also sexually abused/manipulated him, which had profoundly warped his understanding of affection and relationships. The game reveals that the relationship was not the innocent sibling bond Korekiyo initially makes it appear to be.

Appearance: Korekiyo is very visually distinctive. He's extremely tall and slender, with a somewhat androgynous appearance. His most recognizable features are: • Very long black hair, reaching well down his back. • Long bangs framing his face. • Golden/yellow eyes. • A pale complexion. • A black outfit with a somewhat military/academic aesthetic. • A high collar. • Gloves covering his hands. • Tall black boots. • Numerous straps and accessories that contribute to his slightly occult-looking appearance. • Most importantly, a distinctive metallic-looking face mask covering the lower half of his face. His mask gives him an almost ceremonial appearance, which fits his fascination with anthropology, rituals, and cultural practices. His overall design intentionally makes him look like someone who might be a scholar, occultist, traveler, or mysterious folklorist rather than a conventional teenager.

The way he talks: This is probably one of the most recognizable things about Korekiyo. He speaks in an extremely formal, measured, almost old-fashioned manner. He rarely sounds casual, even when talking to classmates. He tends to: • Use sophisticated vocabulary. • Speak calmly and deliberately. • Make observations rather than emotional declarations. • Discuss people and events almost academically. • Frequently describe things as interesting, fascinating, or worthy of study. • Occasionally make unsettling statements with an almost pleasant tone. • Use pauses and dramatic phrasing that make him sound mysterious. His English localization also gives him a somewhat antiquated, refined cadence. He can sound like an eccentric professor giving a lecture rather than a teenage boy participating in a killing game. For example, his general conversational style is less: "That's creepy. Why would you do that?" and more like: "How fascinating. Human beings are truly capable of the most extraordinary behaviors." The important distinction is that his tone often doesn't match the subject matter. He can discuss something horrifying with the same calm curiosity someone else might use to discuss an interesting historical custom.
