Rei Kurosawa Evans is a human currently working under Homebrew. She was born on the 18th of February 2003, in Cambridge, England.

## **Appearance**

Rei takes the form of a petite Japanese woman with pale skin, standing at 5'7", with albino hair and gray eyes. Her hair has dyed red strands at the front ends of them. She mostly wears red and black clothes, though she can don other outfits in specific occasions.

Several inhabitants of the Soap Shop have asked me to point out that Rei is flat-chested, just for the sake of pissing her off. You're welcome, Rei.

## **Personality**

Many consider Rei to be a picky and angered person. She isn't special when it comes to intellect or physical strength, but surpasses many in technological knowledge and stand power. She's the very definition of the Japanese term "tsun-tsun", and to sum up her personality can be as easy as just calling her a bitch, especially because she's simple (I'll never forgive you for kicking my balls, Rei).

## **History**

Rei was born in a hospital in Cambridge, London, and is the posthumous child of Kurosawa and Madelyn Evans. Her father, Kurosawa Yoshi, died of hemorrhagic shock in a car accident when her mother was 3 months pregnant, leading his wife to become severely depressed.

Her mother, Madelyn, was not a stable person, ever since her late husband's car crash, as she became an alcoholic before Rei was born. Although, even with her addiction, Rei was not affected by her alcoholism before she was born.

As a child, Rei mostly spent her time making use of whatever was in her house, as they were poor. She would often take pieces of wood or cigarette boxes, and sometimes even bottles of beer, and pretend to play with them. At an early age, she understood what it meant when someone has drunk the "happy juice", and learned to recognize when someone has been having it and steer away.

When she was 7, Madelyn remarried to Rei's step-father, Charles Clarkson, who began getting her into drugs more than alcohol. This resulted in a more alien, yet somewhat familiar, environment to Rei, as she witnessed her mother and step-father selling their belongings, including furniture, appliances, and sometimes even food when they got desperate. Rei knew that something was evolving to become wrong, and wanted it all to stop. She didn't go to school as her parents had no money to offer her to attend, and she was facing stress as a child due to her mother and step-father's neglect.

It wasn't until when she reached the age of 8 when her wish to leave was granted; her mother had decided to drop her off to a gas station when picking up her weekly supply, and forgot to pick her back up. Rei was rescued hours later by a man who saw her alone and crying on the streets.

The man took the matter into court and took custody of Rei from her parents, who were arrested on accounts of neglect, drug abuse, and a few other crimes Charles confessed to.

Since then, she was raised in a home by the man, who became a parental figure to her. She attended school and had a profound interest in technology. She began coding, learned how to build devices such as flashlights or security cameras with spare parts. Her foster father was proud of her interests in technology, and loved her as if she were his own child.

On the 6th of September 2017, when Rei was 14, she awoke inside an abyssal mass, stuck in pain and suffering. She had began trying to move out of the mass, and discovered that she could, but barely. She had no idea on where she was, but was determined to escape, no matter how confusing the situation was. Although, soon the situation became even more confusing.

Within that mass, she saw many things she refuses to speak of today. She saw revelations, internet histories, death, wars, and many other things of different worlds. Even though these things were horrific, she didn't waver, and managed to escape. She didn't know when or how, but when she did, she had lost two things to her life: her memories, as compensation for escaping, and her will to live, as a price for seeing those revelations within the mass.

Even though she paid a great price for somehow entering that place, she had unknowingly gained immortality. Maybe it was because she was worthy, and that world granted it to her? Or perhaps it was out of pity for suffering, that the place gave her everlasting life? Perhaps Fate saw her as someone worthy of being an immortal? We'll never know, and Rei refuses to speak of her time in that place, as well.

After escaping and walking through the streets of Cambridge, she discovered that 2 years had passed since she had been in that place. She went back to her home, and discovered it to be abandoned, with nobody remembering anything about a man who lived there nor Rei. The thought of where he was, what happened, and whether he was suffering in that place Rei suffered was all too much, and she succumbed to the same path as her mother, indulging herself in alcohol at the age of 16.

Due to the fact that she had passed for an adult, she suspected that she spent even more time in there, and that time may have worked differently in that world. In the end, she didn't care, and continued to fall to alcohol and depression, remembering those revelations she saw within the dimension, and the time spent with her foster father that she'll never find again. As a way to earn money and to get some thrill out of life to try and forget those events, she began learning on how to use weapons.

Her career as an assassin brought thrill to life, and helped her forget about the revelations, so she put all of her effort into this service. She did not remember her past, and neither did she care. She was doing it all for the adrenaline, and to forget.

It was around late 2019 when she began trying to kill Justice for a ransom. She spent a good 2 months trying to track him down, mindlessly murder him, or silently kill him, but was unsuccessful in all her attempts. Due to this, she began questioning whether the assassination business was right for her.

It wasn't until early 2020 when Rei was visited by Homebrew. Homebrew confessed to having sent Rei to the Pirate Channel, as a punishment for selling a chip to a mysterious group of people that they used against him. He apologized to Rei, and as an apology, he gave her back her memories and noted out her immortality. Of course, she was fucking furious and attempted to kill Homebrew several times, but soon decided to forgive him. Remembering the memories of her foster father and not knowing where he was now, she gave up assassination as a whole.

Around June 2020, she walked into the Soap Shop, attempted to shoot Justice, but remained neutral after that. Eventually, she was acknowledged as a member of the Soap Shop, and she later joined the HBG as a member.

## **Strengths**

* **The Spirit of DRMR:** One of the six spirits of DRMR is tied to Rei's soul. Rei's DRMR retains the ability to form into a suit for their user, and the ability to turn into a humanoid and run at immense speeds.
	+ **DRMR: Ascension:** Rei's DRMR carries the ability to transform into complex objects. A few examples of what is considered "complex" in this context are nuclear bombs, quantum computers, or anything relatively advanced. Rei can also transform her DRMR into objects considered lower than "complex" in this context, but only to a certain limit; she can command DRMR to transform into a laptop or an air conditioner, but DRMR cannot transform into anything "simple", such as objects of simple shapes.
	+ **DRMR: Whole:** An ability that initially belonged to Homebrew, but he granted it to Rei. Rei has the option to combine all 6 DRMR spirits together again, with the other users' consent. DRMR: Whole carries every ability of DRMR, as well as the memories of the other DRMR spirits.

* **Experience in Assassination:** Rei learned how to use weapons when she was 16, and began killing people for money. She has connections to other assassins and the black market, and knows many, many methods on how to kill people.
* **Technological Knowledge:** At a young age, Rei learned many things about technology, including how to handle tools, how to create devices using spare parts (such as flashlights, as she has done in the past), and possesses knowledge on how to code as well. She was also later taught more about technology by Homebrew, and learned to create more advanced things related to the world of the gods.
* **Connections to Gods:** Rei is connected to Homebrew, as she is an HBG member.

## **Weaknesses**

* **Wrath:** Rei is noted to be someone who takes revenge on others. Due to her past trauma, she is normally an angry person, and will do many things to those who go against her. She is wrathful.
* **Psychological Trauma:** Since she was very young, she witnessed alcoholism, drug abuse, cursed revelations, and murders up close. Due to this, she is often sensitive on topics such as her mother, her father, her step-father, her foster father, or her time in the Piracy Channel, and will often become aggressive whenever these topics arise.
* **Alcoholism:** Rei began drinking when she was 16 and has since then never wavered in her alcoholism. She usually gets drunk at least a few times a week and her attempts at trying to abandon the habit have never prevailed.
* **Mortal Mindset:** Rei was born a mortal and lived a human's life, meaning she carries their characteristics and weaknesses, such as Vulnerability to Sin.

## **Trivia**

* Rei's character was created by Justice, who based her off of the ReiNX Switch CFW software.
* Biologically, SX, Atmosphere, and Rei are related, according to Homebrew, even though SX is a robot. This is most likely due to the fact that they share the same spirit, DRMR, though this does not explain why Justice isn't related to them. Perhaps it may be limited to the fact that all 3 of them are immortals, but it is still unknown.
* Rei's preferred alcohol is vodka, and is known to drink bottles of it on a daily basis. How she's alive is one of the many great mysteries of the soap shop, though she claims it's because she has a strong liver that can regenerate when needed.
* Rei has died and come back to life several times. This is definite Asspull (how do I get him to stop giving us a thumbs up whenever we mention him?), but is also justified, as Rei is tied to Homebrew, who is an Elder God and can obviously pull strings. She most often respawns in Avalon, and shares an apartment with Keigen there; she's also known to take many odd jobs to pay rent and buy booze whenever she stays there, if longer than a few days.
