Dean

Mac Skull, born in 2037 in Imperial Americana, honorably discharged 2060 - Gay - wears inappropriately adult themed cutoff tee-shirts constantly. He is Hunter's legal guardian, he works double shifts on the factory farm to support himself and Hunter inside their cargo container of a home out in the chaotic older occupation era homes; though this RV is fully outfitted for the two men’s various hobbies and predilections, there are far far to many weapons, rounds of ammunition, and alcohol for anybody at the local tower to feel reasonably safe, however, responsible gun ownership is the rule of their home. The two confirmed bachelors are so bad at cleaning and daily home maintenance that it’s totally worth it to pay Anep to come clean for them.

Dean Shinwoo is of average height - 5'10.5", big shoulders, powerful chest, and rippling muscle, he had long hair always sticking upward in a wavy mess, his naturally light brown hair is dyed blond on the top of his head, combined with the green bandana he always has wrapped around his forehead, makes it look like, from the front, he has two totally distinct hair colors, blond on top, and all brown on the bottom. He has thick brown eyebrows, bright cyan eyes that are always half-lidded, and wrinkles give him permanent bags under his eyes. Dean doesn't look lazy though, his eyes are always bright, and his smile full of genuine merriment and cheer, though always with a hint of danger. He wears his dog tags around his neck, and his white wife beater has the shoulder area totally ripped and torn, he always wears pants evocative of a baggy military uniform and big belt, with his shirt tucked loosely in, and giant black combat boots.

Dean Shinwoo joined the military when he was 16 out of a very dumb sense of patriotism, he completed his training and was deployed to one of the endless peacekeeping wars that ravage the world. He had been rewarded for good work with a basic super soldier enhancement, his reflexes are extremely fast, his perceptions and situational awareness increased via drugs, his stamina heightened to the point he could go for two weeks without sleep as long as he got minimal rest during that time. He was deployed to war after war, he spent 15 years in the service before being hospitalized for a severe injury, which eventually resulted in his honorable discharge, the field treatments weren't good enough to fix a basically destroyed respiratory system, and the military washed their hands of him.

Disillusioned from the military and big money interests, he drifted all across America and Pangaea and always looking for something to believe in, he found Hunter, another victim of the military grooming its youth to fight on its behalf in the endless wars to sustain the global economy; eventually settling down in Seattle with Hunter, forming a group of ex-military and military enthusiasts as well as a field medic who bond over their military experience or need for first aid.

Dean Shinwoo has one final surprise for most people, hes’ 100% gay, his type, much younger bear cubs, the more innocent, the better, and he was a expert at taking a guys virginity without leaving a sour taste in their mouth when he didn’t come back the next day. He was a romantic sweetheart but preferred to remain unattached. Dean’s choice of non-lethal weapons was a Needle Gun, coated in a muscle relaxer,
he aimed for acupuncture pressure points, temporarily paralyzing a target, he used small, Japanese knives too, as close quarters hand to hand weapons, coated in a paralyzing agent that Dean's military enhancements made him immune too, but which would paralyze another person with just a scratch. His gear is military grade body armor, as well as a gatling gun as well as a smaller needle gun, he wears strips of needles wrapped all around his body like rambo.

Dotty

Straight Yaoi fangirl, dresses in a simple black dress highlighted by white lace, red hair, dark green eyes, she is very pale, she is an exceptional mecha pilot and accomplished musician, she loves to set Beck up with other men, she is otherwise quiet and well mannered, but very flat and emotionless. She’s actually a robot; inside her headband is a core memory drive containing a quantum light gate crystal with her fluctlight; salvaged when her original body died; she’s actually heavy enough to crush a car if she fell on it; to set herself apart from everyday androids and their perfectly human-seeming warm personalities, she acts cold and emotionless; stiff and robotic; speaking in monotone and displaying as little emotion as she can, though her facade slips from time to time; a very human trait. She plays piano at the bar and Altamira hotel, for a living. She needs no weapon; she can vibrate her hand or foot fast enough to cut through things.

Beck

Going by Beck only, 186 (6'1"), a buffoonish man with a gaudy taste for gold, he is quite tall and always found in a bright gold business suit with a black tie, with a curl of naturally golden blond hair, and golden brown eyes, a few shades richer than Mitsuo's honey brown. He is a womanizing sleaze who's also into dudes. He was a petty criminal in old new york, moving across the countryside always a step ahead of the authorities, eventually joining the Skullz in the old United States, where Mitsuo convinced him to go legit, starting his own weapons dealing firm just outside the Seattle Stacks in the huge swath of junkyards surrounding the city. While he may be a buffoon he is also a genius - a tech savant who can patch together any technology he finds, an IQ of roughly 210, but he's a classic underachiever who took to petty crime to get through life the easy way. His color scheme is gold and black, his taste is gaudy and tacky gold gold gold.

Beck is no introvert but he is an almost autistic weirdo, he has great charisma. He was too smart for school, and became a petty criminal in old New York City, the famous city of lights, with its downtown having been hit by a direct nuclear strike during the seven hours war. He ended up drifting across the county, committing progressively more and more sophisticated high tech crimes, before setting up shop as an Arms Dealer in the rump republic before the government could manage to pin any crimes on him.

He’s good at getting tech to do Science, he can hook up any tech system into any other tech system, including with effort, Insanon technology. Beck fanboys about the ‘Alien’ whenever in Anep’s presence, and for the most part Beck is a fanboy, but he is also still a sleazy but charismatic ladies man. Beck can't actually have a functional relationship, fuck yes, but love is too much for his lightning quick brain to deal with. He is the only natural psychic in the Skullz, his power is great enough that no scientific test in his vicinity can be taken as accurate, but primarily his ability allows machines to “yell back” at him, a form of technotelepathy.

Living in his own junkyard on the edge of Hellawes, with some greenhouses, and piles of old cars. He refurbishes military mechas and other robotic technology, weapony, and high technology, for his business, as a private technology contractor, focusing on cybernetics, robotics, and other heavy technologies, supplying people who would otherwise be unable to access this tech at reasonable prices, he even has access to decommissioned military technology, contracting with several local police forces and private security firms, as well as maintaining and refurbishing android companions and pet robots, and other such autonomous mechanical devices.

Beck has produced a technology called the Advanced Generation Device; this is a standard issue, if older, auto fabrication which is run by a trio of personality transplants based on Beck himself, these ais take relevant data and use evolutionary algorithms to enhance the products they produce; this device is used in Beck's work, but has also produced the highly specialized and useful armors and weapons the Skulls use in Ruin Delving; taking readings from sensors built into them and data contextual data to produce more advanced gear after each fight; often by using materials scavenged from the ruins themselves.

Rivals with Walker, sometimes bitter, sometimes friendly, both competing to be the smartest man in the gang, though Walker helps him out of programming jams every now and then; including with his Advanced Generation Device. He is equipped with two brain implant chips, running two distinct copies of his personality in parallel; which are always communicating with him to help him decide on the best course of action by providing him with an inner voice with two counter perspectives; these are two scaled down versions of the three AIs used in the AGD.

Whether they realize it or not; Beck and Anep only communicate by flirting; both are highly intelligent and both have a strong interest in each other's thoughts and opinions; unlike Walker, who finds Anep mildly annoying, Beck loves talking with Anep, and has a slight crush on him; with Mitsuo inviting Beck to have sloppy seconds from time to time.

Physically, Beck is a tall thin man, with no real muscle tone, and average amount of body hair; but Anep considers him one of the most attractive men in the gang. Beck Fanboys over everything Op̄tr, and loves the theorize about how they work even when they defy all human understanding; having figured out that the halo-like devices used for Op̄tr gravity control operate as Radion Accelerators to generate both gravity and anti-gravity; also figuring out this is how Anep’s halo works; simply producing light as a byproduct of the loop’s inefficiencies.

Beck created Mitsuo and Anep’s wedding rings by working small bits of Op̄tr metal, though he isn’t exactly sure why one of the metal rings on Mitsuo’s turned black. He performs maintenance on Dotty, but they consider each other Brother and Sister and have no romantic feelings for one another; she often tries to set him up on dates with men to fangirl over him.

Relationship Drabble - Pushy

Anep was a brat, and Mitsuo loved to play a soft, casual dom for him; letting Anep push against him without subjecting him to the pressure of being in control. Mitsuo made sure he felt like opinions were always heard; as long as you knew what you were doing it was pretty easy to push Anep around, he even enjoyed it. Submitting to Mitsuo whenever his dom put him back into his place.

In bed this dynamic was even more frenetic, with dirty talk, degradation, Anep trying his best to humiliate Mitsuo by taking charge and ride him like a greedy cock hungry power bottom, while Mitsuo would revel in how easily Anep would submit to him when he felt like it, and beg to be fucked harder or faster, deeper, asking if he was being good and to be rewarded.

Britney Britney Britney

Britney Deshima, she’s Japanese, she has big bubbly brown eyes and bright pale blond hair, she fancies herself a Japanese pop star, she is a girly-girl who likes to get into street fights and hang with the boys, she dresses in intricate lolita style, all pastels with many eccentric accessories, stuffed animals, umbrellas, hats, Anep loves it all. She helped Anep get his pumpkin and banana umbrellas and loved his cheeseburger backpack and hot dog duffel bag; and supposedly she helped Mitsuo pick out his Bear hoodie. She is a total slob and needs someone to pick up after her; her tour bus is a giant mess. She pretends to only speak Japanese if annoyed, and is a lipstick Lesbian.

Involved in an accident during early commercial space flight in the late 70s, Britney barely survived and her injuries were simply so bad that she was placed in cryogenic suspension to preserve her until medicine had advanced enough to treat her; which finally happened in 2019; confused, she set out to pay back her debts by bringing gold old fashion J-pop back from a more civilized time. After earning a bit of money; she bought her own tour bus to continue her dream of being a Jpop star. She's also a passable medic. She’s a lesbian in the same way Mitsuo and Walker are straight; she can’t stand most other women and often complains about them with Mitsuo, who share’s a similar outlook; she has sleepy with Mitsuo from time to time; she’s even pegged him, sometimes while Anep rides Mitsuo at the same time, and there have even been times where she and her strap on and Mitsuo have double stuffed Anep.

She’s a professional shopper by day, specializing in high style on a budget, she has an amazing knowledge of history and geopolitics, knowing how historical events influenced fashion trends, she also sings and makes her own music, as is very talented as a J-pop singer, even though her music is contraband in japan. She lives in a camper out in the tall grass on the edge of town.

Mitsuo’s under-boss to the and big sister to the Skulls, often helping the younger members with many of their problems, all while trying to save up and pay back her medical debts. She has a collection of old pre-war technology, finding much of the new post-war stuff to be confusing; and sometimes stupidity specialized “Who needs a portable automatic headphone cleaner?”.

Fighting dirty in order to keep up with the boys, but loves fighting as much as she does pink and lipstick; her blond hair is dyed; obviously so is the hot pinks; she loves pink and frills and has dozens of umbrellas and various gothic lolita outfits covered in bows and lace and scalloping; she helped Mitsuo buy the Bear hoodie he gave to Anep, and at his request, and on his dime, she worked with Anep to get him a functional wardrobe of eccentric clothes; for instance swimsuits as shorts because of how colorful they are, and tasteful anime shirts.

More perceptive than she ever lets on; Britney and Walker fight like actual siblings, telling each other they’ll never get laid, elbowing one another, calling eachother flat, and fighting over the littlest things when upset; she is always quick to point out his problems with Anep’s sexuality are because he has a crush on both Anep and Mitsuo, while he points out that she’s flat chested and won’t date men because her costumes and dolls make her feel like their a pedofile; they never take any of the extremely harsh stuff they say to one another seriously after a fight though.

Alongside Mitsuo she often complains about modern women; she openly notes their near zero net worth for a relationship - of any kind, and their obsession with politics as an attempt to outdo one another online by competing over who can support the most insane, niche causes online while having bulldozed over all actual minority voices in the communities they claim to champion, to the point that they can’t even recognize that nobody is left in activism except grifters and allies.

She finds what women have let the internet do to them disgusting, along with the massive consumer waste they generate, the littering, and the attitude that what they do in their actual life doesn't matter as long as they hashtag and dance online to support whatever they see on TV. Britney also finds the modern woman’s tendency to gawk at offensive stereotypes in media while patting themselves on the back for watching media with ‘minorities’, along with their castration of all male role models in favor of more strong and opinionated gurl power icons, completely disgusting and narcissistic.

Britney is very careful about admitting female skulls to the gang, and will practically only accept autistic girls and ones who have lost social acceptance for being nerds or wanting to fight, instead of ones seeking orbiters in the gang’s male population; in part to protect the men of the gang, many of whom are gay and autistic, from being abused by women who pathologicalize autistic men as ‘incels’. She delves with a large glittering purple scythe made from amorphous steel.

Egor

Egor Shao, a strange mix, half Chinese and half Russian, he is extremely tall, slightly taller than even Mitsuo at 6'10", he has short light brown hair that curls slightly and pointy sideburns, and pale blue eyes, he is always sharply dressed, with a darker steel blue high collar sweater under a nice black dress jacket with matching pants and dark red dress shoes. He is a gentleman and cheerful, he can be very intimidating when he wants, he never carries a weapon with him, and will instead improvised weapons on the spot and is an expert at non-lethal combat and capture, making him a natural bounty hunter. He was raised as an assassin, and primarily worked for a shady pharmaceutical company called Nebula, before deciding to try and turn his life around, he worked various jobs along the coast before meeting Nanu, pizza boy, bartender, delivery boy, mover, he does it all. He is a gentleman in bed too, with a classy no-homo bro sentiment as he plows with precision and no wasted movements. He is very good at cheerful intimidation. Assassin Skull, he is Aromatic like Nanu but is platonically bisexual.

Egor is not officially a Skull, like Nanu, but he is treated as a hired gun, and is well aware of Nebula and Anep, his apartment has only enough room for a bed, TV, couch, coffee table, and a very small fully functional kitchen. He works as a pizza delivery boy locally, with a crappy car that can’t really lose any more value if something bad happens. Egor fights with an unornamented sword that vibrates at extreme speed, and a large rapid firing gun. He lives on the other side of the duplex with Nanu.
