"Garbage boi, garbage boi stinkman"

Cousin (Violet Lin)

He is a reuse oc that I had originally for Dangarompa, but I never use them. And so, I decided to use them as Love Letter oc.

## ***Appearance***

Gomi is an pretty tall guy and can look intimidating when looking down at people, who are shorter than him. He has long green dyed hair, with long bangs that is swept to the right side of his face, that also covers the right side of his light purple eyes. He also has some piercings on both sides of his ears to kinda show some of that punk side of him

When in school, he wears the usual school uniform, but unlike some students, he loosen his tie because he doesn't like the feeling of his neck being tighten.

## ***Personality***

Gomi is a pretty chill, lazy and sarcastic dude, and like to play the drums and video games.

When he was young, he and his cousin used to loved to watch a lot of Rock & Roll and metal videos. He was drawn by this one music that this band made, especially the drummer, and fell in loved with them. He love the the band so much, that it inspired him to be like them, play the drums and make music.

He's not very good at sports and he likes to do stuff that doesn't have him doing a lot of stuff.

He's never really the type of guy to get angry out of the blue, but when having a place that is dirty or not sanitized is one of Gomi's pet peeves and can really be pissed off if you make a huge mess or just not cleaning after yourself. He's not too much of a neat freak, but just want things to look nice.

## ***Backstory***

**Age 1-6 (How is parent were in the beginning)**

When he was very young, his parent were pretty poor and live in a really small house. They were also hoarder and were always keeping a lot of stuff in case of it being "useful" later on. At first his parents weren't too much of a threat, but as time flew by, garbage and useless items started to multiplying more and more. Because of this really bad habit, the house was fill with rubbish and which it made smells awful everywhere, including Gomi himself. He has been living in this condition for a very long time, that it became normal to him and he got used to the smell. He didn't see this as a problem when he was very young, mostly because he thought it was normal.

**Band Arc (How Gomi started to play the drums)**

Gomi and his older cousin Violet Lin used to have little play date when ever they visited each other. He and Violet lived not too far away from each other, and at about a good walking distance. They used to do a lot of things together, like playing in the park with her and her friends, playing video games, and playing with their pets.

What they both have a lot in common is their love for music. He and Violet would listen to a lot of music, usually with the genre of Rock & Roll and Metal. They love those kind of music and were so inspired by it, that Violet decided to make a little band with Gomi and her friends.

Violet took violin lesson from her parents a while back, she later got pretty good at it, and so it was her instrument of choice. Gomi was deciding on what to play and remember listening to this one band that he loves, he was always drawn by the drummer. Whenever they play the drums, it always looks so easy and fun to do and so he decided to pick the drums. To get a drum set and learned how to play, he needed a drum. Luckily, his parents had a random drum set just laying around in their stuffy shed, and started learning.

They started a band and made home-made videos of them playing, it didn't lasted too long because both of Gomi's and Violet's parents were getting in to a huge argument that cause them to not let anyone see each other for a very long time.

**Age 7-9 (how he was treated in elementary school)**

When he just started to goes to school, kids and teachers would stay away from him because of how bad he smells. He was an outcast and no one wanted to hang out with him. When he does hang out with other kids, it wouldn't last long. No one wanted to hang out with the poor smelly kid. They would make fun of him and even call him names like "Trash guy" or "Garbage boy", which made Gomi really sad.

**Age 10 (Gomi decided to runaway to his cousin's house)**

He want to better himself and took it upon himself to tries to clean up the messy house that his parents created. He was able to clean about a quarter of the house with a bunch of huge bags of garbage, but It was too much for him. As he was cleaning he'd realize and thought, "This isn't my mess, it's my parent's! They should be the one, cleaning the mess that they made". He decided to talk to his parents about this problem, but they didn't seem to care and weren't deciding to do anything about it and so Gomi run away to his cousin's house until his parent clean up the house and settle on what to sell and throw away.

Gomi stayed at his cousin(Violet Lin)'s house for a while, and hoping that his parent will do something about the house. While he waits, he and Violet hang out and catch up with each other. They introduce each other with there favorite hobbies and instruments they play. Gomi plays the drums and Violet plays the electric violin.

## ***Relationship***

### **Cousin (Violet Lin)**

Violet Lin is six years older than Gomi and has already graduated for [REDACTED] high school. She was in the music club and played the electric violin. She now works as security guard.

He and Violet lived not too far away from each other, and at about a good walking distance. When Violet was younger and still in school, they used to hang out a lot, but they don't visit each other too often, due to both of their parents not liking each other. Ever since Gomi was ran off to Violet's house, so his parents can sort things out in their messy home, they had more time to catch up and hang out like they used too.

They both shared their love for music and try to make something out of it with some the instruments they have in house. They both love to play video games and make music.

## ***In-Game role***

Gomi Okiba is **not** a confirmed and official character of *Love Letter: My True Feelings*, he is simply an original character and is for fun and entertainment purposes. If he is used for the game, or a character similar to him, this is how I’d envision him character being used in the game.
