Asunaro

Asunaro is a character present mainly within the USA portion of the main story. She is loosely based on Osaka (real name Ayumu) from Azumanga Daioh, and shares traits and equipment with the Demoman from Team Fortress 2.

## History

Asunaro spent most of her early years in Osaka, Japan as an only child. She was seen as a bit of an outsider, due to her unusual mannerisms and behavior. This was due to her being diagnosed with Callosal Agenesis, which meant that both sides of her brain were separated from eachother. This meant that she had a little bit of struggle with motor co-ordination for several years, as well as a split personality. However, she had learned to be ambidextrous, and had become more observant of things that normal people may miss. During her teenage years, she had moved to Tokyo, and attended high school as a transfer student. It was here where she met Megumi, who she became best friends with. During any phys-ed classes, she sometimes would lose balance and fall, usually injuring herself, and for whatever reason, she slowly began to find being in pain oddly satisfying, and she couldn't explain why. When she went to college, she started getting curious about her newfound interest in being subjected to minor injury and discomfort, along with a hodgepodge of other absurd thoughts. It wasn't until Chihiro told her about masochism that she slowly began getting aroused by such things.

### Wartime

Asunaro was drafted into the Military Juggernaut project, mainly after drunkenly sending an application on the site once. She was assigned to Kilo team, alongside Yumei. She was just as inexperienced as her colleague on the field, but was more daring to rush into combat due to her tendency to get an enormous adrenaline rush from getting shot and being within the blast radius of her explosives. This caused many to become concerned over her safety, to the point where she was given a grenade launcher in exchange of any and all hand grenades that she was once deployed with. She then fitted all of her compatible weapons with grenade launchers to add some power to her equipment. Even with her sub-par performance, she was promoted to Private First Class after the war.

## Personality

Asunaro has two personalities that inhabit each side of her brain. One half of her brain has a humble, kind, and mature demeanor. The other half is more comical, silly, occasionally obnoxious, and vulgar. Both sides of her brain do have consensus about bizarre theories, and tend to like puns, and absurd nonsense. She enjoys telling horror stories, as nonsensical as they usually are. More notably is her masochistic tendencies, which she has an obsession with. She also tends to drink alcohol frequently, so she is usually drunk a lot of the time. When it comes to any sort of weird and outlandish fetishes, she generally isn't bothered by them, and sometimes actually likes them.

## Equipment

Asunaro's equipment is vaguely similar in theme to Kotone, but instead of flamethrowers, all of her compatible weapons use under-barrel grenade launchers. Her primary weapon is usually a Remington ACR with an M203 attached to it. On some occasions, she instead uses an M32 MGL, with a mix of different shells within the cylinder. She also has an M79 and China Lake pump action grenade launcher that she uses from time to time as well. Her secondary weapon is an MP5A3 with the navy trigger group, an M203 attachment and slightly lengthened barrel. Her sidearm is a Smith & Wesson Model 586 with a 6 inch barrel, though she does make use of a CZ 75 from time to time. When it comes to melee weapons, she tends to use a variety of silly items, like a paper fan, a bottle of sake, a riding crop, a squeaky hammer, and even a dildo. Her bladed weapons vary from a butcher knife, a cooking knife, and a tanto katana.

## Physical Traits

Asunaro is classified as a middleweight, and is within the middle range of the middleweights. Her strength is somewhat below average, but her body is surprisingly resilient and regenerates rapidly, meaning wounds heal much faster than average. She has arguably the worst mobility out of all the middleweights, and has sub-par endurance. Thanks to her split brain condition, both sides of her brain have complete control of either side of her body, allowing her to look in two directions at once, though walking and running sometimes gives her trouble. Considering her dietary habits, she tends to burp and fart fairly frequently.
