 Of course that's what they want you to think. But I know better.
 — Takeshi

**Takeshi** *(**Keshi** for short),* who goes by the online alias *B\_Bracket*, is a Rainbow Drimare from Soarite. They're the leader of a secret *currently unnamed* hacker group, operating somewhere underground in the Rainbow District in Soarite. Him and Bitrice are the two founders, working alongside some *other* members *who have yet to be established.*

The group focuses on exposing the secrets that Soarite keeps under the covers, but they're mostly seen as a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists and lowkey cyber terrorists, especially when they get their hands on vital information and threaten to leak it to the public.

## **Appearance**

likely will have "cw / eyestrain" whenever I post an image of him because bOY

short and chubby

epic anime shades

Puffy jacket with way too many pins

Carries a back bag with a laptop on it

Gender was created by the government and they don't vibe with that

## **Personality**

geeky

way too smart for their own good. Knows this and does not find a need to brag about it

can and will share his protein bars with you

speaks in tech talk and needs to have someone there to say the overused *"uHm iN eNgLiSh??"* phrase

pin enthusiast

unironically complains about "society"

conspiracy theorist and lowkey paranoid

Did you know there's a race of crystal drimare living right underneath us? That's where the soarite crystals come from. But of course the government doesn't want us to know that

likes anime and nerdy stuff

Very bilingual and speaks japanese to themselves a lot

Somewhat serious and aloof but also has a lot of gremlin energy. Good at making jokes with a completely serious and unmoving expression

Might be short but is strangely good at being intimidating by just being there, silently

Hisses at the sunlight

He's the type that you hang around with that makes you think "Man, I bet they secretly hate me" only for him to just help you out with smth in the most chill way possible

## **Relationships**

### **Bitrice**

Best friend

He found her when she had run away and gave her shelter in his home as they quickly became friends

Bitrice is still learning how things work and she's the only one not to be swayed by Keshi's aloofness and attempts at being serious

Although he's terrible at showing it, he cares about her a lot and hopes to help her find her sister one day.

### **Saikee**

Friend? I feel like they know each other

I keep feeling like she's part of the hacker group but like...

She's blind, how does that even work? How could the blind girl help? Why would she want to help?

*Ohh idea idea*

No one wanted to help saikee when she had her eyes melted so she's like hey man fuck soarite government

### **Kyle**

I just get this feeling that they know each other

Even if Kyle is literally just an NPC character

Potentially redesign him into becoming part of the hacker group??

He's friends with Saikee so maybe get him involved as well

Kyle once asked Keshi about how long they've been on T because their voice was so deep. That interaction is something that Keshi thinks about on a daily basis

### **Iron**

They were childhood friends back when Iron still lived in Soarite.

They also communicated pretty much exclusively in japanese and were very annoying to be around

Keshi misses his good buddy and hopes he's doing well. If he ever returns to Soarite he should probably invite him, they could always use more psychics.

### **Malinka**

Came over asking for help, talking about Poppet. Keshi is disappointed that one of his fave popstars is being manipulated, but he loves a good conspiracy. The case is a work in progress

## **Backstory/Lore**

See Bitrice

Keshi's past is a mystery, mostly because it's so uneventful

## **Trivia**

* Takeshi's initial design idea was just me going *"I want a character based on that anime version of Wakko from the Animaniacs reboot, but with anime triangle shades and a Vaporwave aesthetic"*
	+ Their personality also took inspiration on Dirk Strider and Sollux Captor from Homestuck

* The mint and pink colour scheme were also inspired on Cirava Hermod as well as it being the colours of the cans of Arizona green tea, which are often used in Vaporwave imagery.
	+ The cyan and pink colours were used together to give a more gender ambiguous look when I realized that Keshi was non-binary.
* He was also partly inspired on AAA from Neopets, who was a character that the earliest iteration of Bitrice actually used to be romantically shipped with. *Were talking like 2008 Jay art here.*
	+ Despite this, the relationship between Bitrice and Takeshi is queer-platonic rather than romantic

* The "N" pin on his jacket is a reference to an old artwork of Bitrice where she's drinking this knock-off version of a "Monster Energy" drink, named "Nightmare Energy" instead. The N symbol is a reference to that knock off logo.
* Keshi's blood is mint green, which isn't uncommon for Rainbow Drimare.
