Character Notes

Basic Information

• Name: Vivian (male) / Shuna (female)
• Age: 20 years old / January 11th
• Appearance and Style:
  • Clothing Style: Vivian prefers a neat and modern style. Shuna thinks clothes are just for covering the body but reluctantly tries to mimic Vivian's style. However, her outfits are clumsier and more awkward, making it obvious that she's imitating.
  • Symbolic Accessory: A friendship ring worn on the fourth finger of their right hand.
  • Physical Features: Both are 176 cm tall and weigh 50 kg. They share dark gray eyes, red hair styled in a chin-length bob with bangs, and have identical beauty marks—one below the right eye, one slightly above the left corner of the mouth, and one in the center of the left earlobe. They also share a scar running straight down the bridge of their nose to the middle of their cheeks, which they inflicted on themselves.
• Occupation and Skills: They are bodyguards for the spirit of Trixie, a living legend revered by all. Though it's not a choice, they bear the heavy expectations and attention of people, which they resent. They are forced to feel responsible for this role.
• Residence: They live 24/7 in Speclover, a place that collects the spirits of deceased great people, revived as AI through advanced technology. Speclover is treated like a museum housing eminent figures from all eras. The drawback is that the numerous AIs constantly engage with Vivian and Shuna. Despite knowing they are AIs, they think and feel emotions just like living humans.
• Likes:
  • Vivian: Cats, being with Shuna, games, reminiscing, sweet fruits
  • Shuna: Daydreaming, comic books, salty snacks, being alone, sleeping
• Dislikes:
  • Vivian: Compulsion, rudeness, bananas, flowers (allergy), scary people
  • Shuna: Attention, being disturbed while sleeping, religion

Background

• World Setting: A cyberpunk world where science has advanced dramatically. Under a dictator who abolished human rights for technological advancement, unethical human experiments are rampant, leading to many deaths. As a result, AIs are integrated into society.
• Family: Mother, father, and an older brother (deceased). Their parents favored their older brother over them, but he died of a fever in childhood. Their parents blamed the twins for his death and despised them.
• Education and Training: Despite their laziness, they have enough common sense from minimal studies. They also learned hacking skills to work in Speclover. Their quick learning abilities helped them rapidly improve their skills.
• Past Story:
  • Childhood: The twins were extremely lazy from a young age, always doing the bare minimum. They lacked social skills due to having no friends and spent all their time together, relying on each other more than their parents. Their parents despised them and favored their older brother, who died one day. Their parents blamed them for his death.
  • Formative Event: At age 15, their parents abandoned them. They failed at various jobs and ended up in a government orphanage, where a system assigned them jobs to prevent people from becoming useless. The twins, voted the most useless, were forced to become bodyguards for Trixie. There, they discovered a shocking truth: most AIs were infected with a virus, which they found existed in a game.
  • Current Situation: They are trying to prevent this information from leaking. They secretly play a hologram game during work to eliminate the viruses in the game.
