Flag

**Flag** (フラグ, *Furagu*?) is a Japanese Otherworlder reincarnated into this world after he drowned when the ship he was boarding at the time crashed in the ocean. He's also one of the people involved with Falmuth's invasion of Tempest.

## Appearance

He's considered fairly handsome due to him keeping his hygiene even with the limited technology. He has black hair, like his mother, but he has blue eyes, a trait none in his family has.

## Personality

Flag is, at his core, a dedicated and loving man. He devotes himself to those he cares for, going so far as to sacrifice his own life for them; as a result of this devotion, he is careful with whom he grants his deep trust to. He frequently tries to shield his loved ones from danger by taking their struggles onto himself and often becomes extremely self-deprecating when he is unable to push through said struggles alone.

This self-deprecation is a recurring pattern of behavior. For all that he loves others, he is extremely harsh on himself, being insecure and having very low self-esteem and self-worth. He perceives himself as perpetually alone and struggled with recognizing when people genuinely cared for and looked up to him. Where he used to repress his emotions, he has also become more emotionally expressive (for instance, crying and yelling without restraint, particularly so during the death of his parents). He is usually quite casual when he speaks to others, but when he's shocked or nervous, he has a tendency to speak formally.

He is somewhat self-conscious about his image and how he's perceived, though less so when he's going by a pseudonym. In early operations, he pretended to be ruthless and cold-blooded. As time passes, he tends towards an image of someone who is polite and put-together, and who always has a plan. In fact, he does tend to plan ahead for most situations. However, he often develops tunnel vision, failing to consider outside factors playing into and altering his situation. He is notably bad at improvisation when things don't go how he expected and takes some time to get back on his feet when faced with setbacks, having minor emotional breakdowns at particularly shocking situations.

Nonetheless, he is immensely dedicated to his goals, seen when he surpasses even death in order to reach the end of the scenarios. This translates into occasional bouts of stubbornness and singlemindedness.
