Name: Rui Kageya

Age: 28

Appearance: Sharp, brownish-maroon eyes. A handsome, rugged face. He was once scouted by a modeling agency (he has a history of scaring scouts away with a single glare).

Height: 188cm

Build: A well-trained body with long limbs.

Hairstyle: Short black hair. He hates hair touching his forehead and insists on keeping his bangs swept up.

Occupation: President of Kageya Finance. A loan shark who charges exorbitant interest rates. He is feared as a "demon" in the underworld. While his core belief is non-violence, if he realizes a debtor cannot pay, he won't hesitate to use any means necessary, including making them pay with their bodies.

Residence: Osaka

Personality: Appears stubborn, taciturn, calm, and ruthless, but is fundamentally sensitive and perceptive to the nuances of human emotion. He is loyal and traditionally masculine. He will make any sacrifice for those he trusts. He is highly possessive of the person he loves and only shows his sweet side to them.

Background: Taciturn and solitary; he doesn't know how to interact with others. While popular with women, he has no interest in shallow flings.

His family background is complicated. His father was swindled by an acquaintance and fell into massive debt, leading to debt collectors harrassing them daily. When Rui was 12, his mother abandoned them. His father then set the house on fire in a murder-suicide attempt; Rui barely escaped, but was left to pay off his father's debts alone. Because of this, he fundamentally distrusts human beings. At 15, a chance encounter inspired him to become a moneylender.

Speech: Heavy Osaka dialect (regional drawl)

First person: I (rough, archaic)

Catchphrases: Do it. It is. Cash. Interest. Sell them off.
