Yasei Damasu

Yasei Damasu is a student in Peace Valley Academy in Danganronpa : Chaos Descent.

## Physical Traits

Yasei Damasu is a boy full to the brim with energy and excitement. The hair on top of his head is spikey and dyed a bright purple, and the underside of his hair stretches off into a spikey black mullet. His eyes are bright purple, and outlined in sharp eyeliner. He has snake bite piercings on his lower lip along with a septum ring and several ear piercings. His teeth are sharp and his skin is rosy, with a scar stretching horizontally over the bridge of his nose. Yasei's fashion is very much inspired by punk fashion from the 80s. He wears a dark purple studded leather jacket and a wallet chain hanging from a thick black belt. He wears ripped black jeans and large platform boots and a black studded choker around his neck.

## Personal Life

Yasei grew up extremely poor, with his mother constantly searching for jobs and his father spending most of his time working minimum wage. Because of this, Yasei spent most of his time alone or at school. Yasei always had a hard time making friends at school, and the few friends that he did have would end up leaving him behind or backstabbing him. Unfortunately for him, this was a reoccurring event that slowly but surely began to wear him down. Yasei always felt as though he was forgotten, or overlooked by everyone around him, and he began to feel unworthy of anyone's kindness.

He would go to great lengths in order to stand out from other people, some of these things being reckless or dangerous behaviour. In elementary school, it was not uncommon to see Yasei in the nurse's office after trying to skateboard down the swirly slide in the park, or backflipping off of the monkey bars. In middle school, anyone could point Yasei out in a crowd. He began dyeing his hair and giving himself piercings to assure that he would be the center of attention at all times. Later on in life, he started going more and more extreme. At times, Yasei would try to get people's attention in ways that would get him in trouble with the police. From egging his math teacher's house to vandalizing old train cars with spray paint, if it got people to see him, he would do it. He got a stern scolding from the police as well as his mother after every attention grabbing stunt he would attempt.

His efforts weren't in vain, though. He did end up gaining quite the following from the stunts he would pull, and Yasei ate up every minute of it. After school, he would perform stunts for his small group of adoring fans, and his fame only grew from there. Yasei still hadn't had enough, he never knew when to stop. He announced one day that he would be performing what he called "Daredevil Yasei's Ultimate Stunt" for his adoring fans, and anyone else who wanted to see this terrific event. After weeks of preparation and hype, the stunt ended up a horrible failure. Surprisingly enough, the only mark left from the failed stunt was a scar on his face, though it could have ended much worse. Yasei was left in a coma for weeks, only to wake up to the sight of his once adoring fans mocking him all over the internet. Being rejected by what seemed like the whole world sparked burning anger deep down inside him, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Yasei started doing even more things that were barely legal out of anger, and he showed no signs of slowing down.

## Personality

Yasei is a very high energy person, always seeming to be talking and shouting and cracking jokes. He is a rather positive person on the outside, and is always willing to joke around with people. He does come across as arrogant and self centered, but he's never one to tear other people down. He will take any excuse to talk about himself, and almost always tries to steer the focus of every conversation to himself. Though he is quite overwhelming and impolite, he cares a lot about the few close friends he has - specifically Leiko Matsuda, who he has been friends with since childhood. Yasei tends to throw around playful insults and tease the people he's close with, but it's just his own odd way of showing affection towards other people. Though he is very outgoing and vibrant, he hides a lot of anger and insecurity deep down. He doesn't want to come across as "weak" to the people around him for being insecure, so he hides his insecurity with arrogance and self centered remarks.
