Scarred By Heaven: Characters
An introduction to some of the major characters of Scarred By Heaven.
Sakiko
 |
| Full Name: Sakiko "Saki" Mizukawa |
| DOB: June 22nd (Age: 18) |
| Height: 182 cm / 6'0'' |
| Likes: Quiet time, Marine life |
| Dislikes: She doesn't want to talk about it. |
| Mark Ability: Capable of freezing small pockets of space in time. |
Deeply Unlucky Protagonist
A stoic but standoffish young adult who rarely speaks unless spoken to.
Seems to have had some troubled teenage years as a delinquent, but having recently turned 18 and left home, now wants to take control of her life and live as honestly as she can.
While she's generally polite to anyone well-meaning, she seems to prefer keeping all interactions as blunt and productive as possible--to a degree others often find intimidating. Whether this asociality is a deliberate act of rebellion or just the nature of her personality is unclear, as she likes talking about herself least of all.
Behind her abrasive exterior, though, she does seem to have a strong moral compass. She's occasionally seen going out of her way to help strangers in need (albeit usually while chastising them), and has a tendency to fall down bizarre rabbit holes as a result of becoming involved in other peoples' problems.
Maybe getting dragged into the mystery of Jadewater is just the most extreme example of that?
Yuri
 |
| Full Name: Yuri Anastas |
| DOB: December 23rd (Age: 17 (And a half!)) |
| Height: 162 cm / 5'4'' |

| Dislikes: People who are rude for no reason, Drawing the other eye, Seafood |
| Mark Abilities: Capable of painlessly severing, teleporting to, and reattaching his own body parts. |
Starstruck Sidekick
An upbeat but awkward high-schooler who often struggles to express himself correctly.
While always well-intentioned and deceptively intelligent, he seems to have struck a perfect ratio between overthinking and acting thoughtlessly that maximizes his clumsiness, and often missteps into trouble as a result.
It was one of these missteps that led to his meeting with Saki--with her intervening to protect him from a group of thugs he mistakenly angered. While she was unimpressed, Yuri was immensely grateful, and developed a strong but obviously one-sided respect for her.
However, when the pair eventually come to realize they both share the same otherworldly 'gift', they form a loose partnership and begin working together to discover the truth behind the murders plaguing Jadewater.
Yuri's sense of justice is able to overpower his nerves for the time being, but with little to no combat experience, he worries about how much he can contribute. Still, he's eagerly awaiting an opportunity to repay the debt he feels he owes Saki.
Livio
 |
| Full Name: Livio Rosanna |
| DOB: February 19th (Age: 18) |
| Height: 185 cm / 6'1'' |
| Likes: Instant noodles, Fishing, Siestas, Bus and train rides |
| Dislikes: Disruptions to his busy schedule...! |
| Mark Abilities: Capable of summoning and controlling phantasmal chains with his hands. |
Lackadasical Lead Investigator
Having seemingly been one of the first in town to acquire his powers and discover the Otherworld, Livio is a leading expert on Jadewater's supernatural phenomena and the ongoing murders, for better or worse.
An extremely laid back and jokey personality who doesn't seem to take himself or anyone else very seriously. It tends to make him come across as either very likable or extremely irritating depending on the person he's talking to--with Saki regrettably falling into the latter category.
Beneath it all, however, he does seem to have a more serious, principled side. He began conducting his own investigations into the bizarre happenings of Jadewater months before Saki's arrival--though made little progress until she inadvertedly became his first big lead.
Unfortunately, shortly after their first meaning, a small misunderstanding forms between the two of them, and Saki is forced to learn that he's a much better fighter than he acts.
Friday
 |
| Full Name: Friday Parodia |
| DOB: April 8th (Age: 18) |
| Height: 170cm / 5'7'' |
| Likes: Street fights, Collecting old CDs, Media piracy |
| Dislikes: Being told what to do, 'Snitches', Overpriced clothes |
| Mark Abilities: Unknown--seems to think it's funny to dodge the question when asked. |
Arguably Charismatic Combat Hedonist
A free-spirited thrill-seeker who only acts based on what she finds fun. She appears entirely uninterested in the murder case, and seems to only view her power and the Otherworld it revealed to her as sources of entertainment.
With a reputation as a strong fighter, she commands respect among Jadewater's miscreants, and happens to be the leader of large local street gang named after herself, 'Parodia'. However, she doesn't seem to take the position very seriously, and usually just lets her underlings do whatever they want unsupervised. If anything, the gang is just an excuse for her to get into street brawls more often--something she treats like an extreme sport.
Despite her choice in career and hobby, she's surprisingly friendly and talkative, and most people who aren't turned off by her crude demeanor and potty mouth will find her to be fun, if rowdy, company. Although, it's very rare for her to stick around with any one person long enough for them to get to know her well.
In spite of the bizarre turn her life has taken lately, it seems like she's getting bored of Jadewater as a whole, and restless as a result. Though, she's been hearing rumors about someone new in town; some kind of gang-crushing vigilante with an unmistakable scar on her eye.
It's been a while since she's had a good sparring partner...
