## Profile

Tobi Otogiri is the newest member of DHD-1 and the youngest member of any DHD. He joined DHD-1 at the age of 15 and has served just over two and a half years; doing so required him to drop out of public high school, though his required education has continued privately as possible under the supervision of the Elyrium government. Captain Harava personally recruited Otogiri following his pursuit of Case #0087124 [TODO] in which Harava arrived to find the Snake Devil and its minions already dispatched by the then-unknown child.

Otogiri is not in possession of the Mage Gene and is instead a warlock, partner, and handler of the mysteriously reduced Gluttony Devil. This Devil, which has taken on the nickname Noppo, is capable of transforming into a pseudo-humanoid but typically maintains the form of a large duffel bag which Otogiri carries. It is still capable of its own offenses, though its strength and mobility are reduced. The duo's main power originates from dual-casted magics and morphisms of Tobi fueled by Noppo's consumption of living flesh. The unique partnership of Otogiri and the Gluttony Devil was in place when the child was originally discovered by Harava.

While his magic usually falls under the school of Necromancy, Otogiri is able to cast a few spells outside of this categorization. Because of Noppo's high demands for casting, however, Otogiri often relies heavily upon his own athletic ability in combat. His small frame allows for quick, dexterous movements and makes him a difficult target to hit meanwhile masking his rather uncharacteristic strength. Otogiri foregoes any weapon other than his own fists and Noppo, who while in bag form can grow a mouth with large, sharp teeth and a long, tensile tongue to provide protection to Otogiri's back and to provide increased mobility. In dire situations, Otogiri will feed Noppo and undergo biological modifications which embellish his physical power and speed.

Personally, Otogiri is rather shy and quiet. He prefers to keep to himself and frequently complains about having to work despite never actually demonstrating a reluctance to do so. Otogiri is not particularly sociable and likes to communicate digitally instead of face-to-face: while he isn't a talented conversationalist, his virtual communications demonstrate that he can be witty, snarky, and clever. He particularly enjoys teasing his famous teammate, Scaramouche, on Twitter. Coworkers have described Otogiri as "neither particularly nice or mean--just extremely neutral," "uncomfortably straightforward and simple," and "reliable and obedient even if he doesn't act as such." His hobbies include playing games on his retro GameBoy, finding ways to subtly annoy his teammates, and avoiding his studies.

## Responsibilities

As a member of DHD-1, Otogiri is responsible for responding to highly dangerous cases and incidents, particularly those involving mages or Devils. Like the rest of DHD-1, he does not work with the entire team but instead takes cases alone with Noppo. Otogiri typically is not assigned investigative cases and instead handles violent cases.

He is generally very busy with his own cases, but may be assigned to help other DHDs in certain situations.

## History & Tenure

Tobi Otogiri has served on DHD-1 since he was hired in early 3859. As with much of DHD-1, he has primarily taken on violent cases, being technically unqualified in an investigative capacity. Otogiri's completion record is impressive though far from perfect; that said, the cases assigned to DHD-1 are frequently already considered beyond salvation, so redemption of any form is considered a success.

Otogiri's performance reviews have been overall positive, with remarks only on his interpersonal behaviors and lack of initiative. Harava has markedly complained that Otogiri is too much of a follower: while he is incredibly obedient, he will not do anything unless commanded. In a solo fight, however, Otogiri has displayed impressive strategy, efficiency, and decisiveness.

It is unclear what Otogiri's status was prior to his conscription into the EPD. He has been dismissive toward questions about his childhood and family history, though it's generally understood that he has no family as he resides exclusively in EPD housing and has never mentioned visiting any relatives. The origin of Otogiri's deal with the Gluttony Devil as well as the exact nature of their deal is a classified matter, though the two notably regard each other on relatively friendly terms.
