Dawn of: THE FINAL DAY (24 Hours Remain)
14 years ago
General
I was going to wait until I beat the game proper before doing this, but things keep coming up that keep me from finishing and I figured everyone might be interested in the cast's standing, so I figured I'd update everyone on what's been going on. I've technically reached the point where the group has split up into factions, but I will cover those in the next journal so that I have something more to say besides just the ending and my thoughts on the game as a whole.
___
chinesefox and me just got out of the building from taking college entrance exams to find the world has ended. Understandably, he's pretty thrown for a loop about it, and it didn't help when he was captured later and eventually forced to man up against the craziness going on around him. He keeps complaining a lot, but to be fair I wouldn't call that an unreasonable reaction to things.
___
dezzykitsune is wise and open-minded, but has a lot of confidence issues and crippling shyness much like in person. She also just finished college entrance exams the day everything went to hell, and we quickly soon find out that our families didn't make it through the disaster. Understandably this leaves her shaken, though not broken. At one point she saves Verace and Magi's lives by channeling Solid Snake. No seriously, it included the box and everything. Eventually, she was chosen as a host for channeling an important storyline demon, but was shown to be fated to die. With some words of encouragement from yours truly, she managed to survive.
___
damienfox leads what is apparently the Japanese Illuminati, because apparently they've been controlling the country in secret from the back lines for quite some time now. He has access to what is called the "dragon stream" and uses it to keep the country safe from the supernatural things that threaten it. He is often cold and manipulative, but this is because he feels keeping a good public image over just getting the job done is what led to the current civillization's downfall and has some very major long-term goals in mind. He generally has no expectations of his subordinates and admits to considering them pawns, but because of this he sees no reason to punish them for their failures (as punishment is for those who don't live up to expectations) and is all the more impressed when they do work out.
___
lapseph keeps barging into my room every morning. Apparently she used to be a synchronized swimmer before getting hit by a car, at which point that dream got kicked in the head. Damien took her into his JP's organization afterward, and has been loyal to the organization ever since. Eventually she was destined to die in a struggle against Requiem, so I ended up defeating both sides to ensure neither could kill the other. This caused some tension aroud the time the factions began to split.
___
copain seems rather silly... He seems to have trouble taking things too seriously even when his life is in danger, though he does go out of his way to help others and keeps the big picture in mind when taking action, even when at one point all this put his life and risk and took me and Requiem working together to save him. He has a girlfriend in the hospital he was afraid to see, moreso now that the world has more or less ended (though the hospital seems to have survived due to being well-built), though with words of encouragement he found the courage to get engaged. However, with the hospital's supplies cut off thanks to this little series of unfortunate events, she didn't make it.
___
kraz was possessed by demons working for a mysterious person known as the "Anguished One" seeking to take down Damien's JP's organization. Afterward she revealed that she had studied abroad and is very loyal to damien's cause, though is not above being frank and isn't afraid to call out people who say or do anything she considers dumb.
___
sparkythechu is rather carefree, even to the point of pointing out how cute some demons are while still admitting that it's a threat and not to underestimate it. This annoys Sefra. She apparently adopted a daughter at some point before the events of the game, and is upset that she cannot see her very often due to all the medical needs JP's has had since the events (which also causes her to wonder about what kind of impact the things she does now will have on the future). Eventually Anguished One mounted an attack on JP's that would have resulted in her being killed. I was angry about this but it turns out he had some significant reasons for mounting the attack and her death was not by his order. Even so, while killing the one responsible was optional I saw no reason not to murder his ass (and consiquently, the rest of him).
___
fursouseki starts out working with Verace as new recruits to Damien's group. She gets angry very easily and complains a lot, due to a lot of issues hitting her family hard, resulting in poverty and her losing her father. She doesn't know about it, but it turns out her father was investigating JP's and Damien had him killed for it. The lack of money also means she had to give up her dreams of being a famous piano player. Upon finding out about this, Sefra informs her that dwelling on one lost opportunity could result in her losing her chance at another, explaining about how her first dream was lost but was given a second chance by Damien and his group. She later is forced to use her "feminine wiles" (i.e. loli appeal) to help summon something necessary to continue the plot.
___
verace is very loyal to his friends, and often acts trying to help at no regard for his own personal safety. This pisses off Krystil a lot when they first appear together, as she formulates plans he never follows properly. This results in him almost getting himself killed when some rioters capture Magi and force him to disarm, but luckily Dezzy managed to save them by doing her best Solid Snake impression. It turns out he was orphaned at a very early age, and became stronger through growing attached to his friends at the orphanage as well as the people he met growing up. At one point Sparky helps him save an injured cat, and together the two find a safe place for the cat to live without having to worry about demon attacks.
___
aethian works with Catherine when they first meet the group. He doesn't like working with teams, however, and prefers being by himself (which almost gets him killed right away). He is effectively the opposite of Verace: he lost his family at an early age due to one of his father's supposed best friends betraying them all, and as such he refuses to let the same thing happen with him. He fights with Verace for getting in his way a lot, but while Verace apologizes for getting in his way he refuses to let Aeth's preferances on being a loner slide, which causes a lot of friction between the two.
___
samanthaweltzin is with Aeth at the start of the game. She has big dreams of being a famous dancer and isn't afraid to be assertive when something isn't going well, including when Aeth claims that he doesn't need her help. She often likes to make fun of the fact she is a lot more shapely than Krystil, despite only being slightly older. Her adeptness at dances from around the world were at one point needed to call forth a demon necessary for the plot, which she was able to do with ease.
___
requiem_shade was working under Krystil's father when he suddenly disappeared during the JP's investigation. This prompted his own investigation, discovering Damien's master plan for taking control now that the world has ended. He has dedicated himself to stopping Damien at all costs, sometimes to the point of being cold in doing so, but is still generally willing to help out anyone he runs into that is in trouble (as shown by the fact he is not afraid to help out whenever he runs into my group and finds us in need of assistance).
___
Alex - For whatever it's worth, I've done my best to depict my character as an optimistic realist. Overall I like the main protagonist of this game, especially since you get a lot more snarky comment options compared to the last game, but I will get more into that next time.
