**Akai Haato** (pictured right) **and Haachama** (pictured left) are one of the first original talents from ***Hololive Production.*** Their respective characters here are not related to the real Akai or Haachama (who are the same person) - and all content here has been derived only from the lore related to them both, and then lore from there is either built upon or created altogether.

## Canon

At some point in time, though the circumstances of their respective births were unknown - Akai and her sister Haachama were born. Though it assumed they both lived ordinary lives for a while, all of this would change when a certain fateful day came along. With a loud crash out in the streets, where Haachama was caught in an accident - to which Akai was left in grief. The two had formerly promised to each other that they would stay together forever - and now that Haachama was dead, that wish was no longer applicable as the sister who was left broke down over her sister's demise. Several days later, Haachama regenerated for the first time - though now without a body, Haachama had made a comfortable little 'home' in Akai's mind - and after mentally communicating with her sister, Akai and Haachama agreed to coexist in one body - and have been doing so ever since.

However... Haachama's habits are a little concerning. She has still been dying on the regular, to take walks through the Underworld (as she says it) - and quickly figured out she would return a week later. Akai knows this, and each time Haachama performs such an act, Haachama gradually felt numb to the feeling of death while Akai's mental state (primarily loneliness) gets worse. After several days of dying, Haachama knows death as a regular feeling and event - the impact has lessened so much so she no longer feels a thing when it happens, while Akai is left to herself with no voice inside her head, her late sister which she swore to be together with forever - not there as she has gone out on another of these walks.

## Pre-Paradise

Some time after their coexisting agreement, Akai 'was' to be heading to school the next day. Akai had initially went to sleep earlier to prepare for this next day ahead of her, and then it is implied she woke up in the Paradise through means she is not aware of. Not even Haachama knows how they both got here.

## Plot Involvement

After the initial arrival, Akai was the first of the duo to be out and about up to something - she travelled to the kitchen and immediately tried to make something in the wrong way - she put too many ingredients into what she was trying to make. Cue the first sign of interaction, when a someone named Hershel Avad entered - and he quickly noticed the mess Akai had made - a mess even the girl herself wasn't aware of until she noticed that Hershel made a pie for himself, thus prompting her to look at what she made. Explaining herself in a panicked tone when Hershel questioned her what she was doing, Akai explained she was trying to learn how to cook - but as it was evident, and as she said it herself, she wasn't very good at it just yet (why she was in the kitchen to begin with, to try and learn by herself). After they introduced each other and got talking (mainly with Hershel giving advice about cooking to Akai and offering to teach her - which she accepted), Haachama took over for the rest of the interaction - quickly establishing herself as a separate entity as she claimed to not know what Hershel was on about and then told him that 'Akai isn't here right now' when he questioned further. As Hershel figured out what was going on with a pure guess, Haachama introduced herself and proceeded to end up getting the same cooking lessons opportunity from him. Some time after this interaction, Akai used the chatroom for the first time - but the day after, Haachama went on the chatroom after Akai told her she was having a great time on it the day prior. Haachama logged on, changed the username when she did, and proceeded to have an enjoyable experience of her own until the 'next' day came along - when Akai returned to see the changed username and not remember doing this in the first place.

The next time either of them would be seen was when Haachama 'took the body on a walk' - and she wandered into a random hotel room - which for some reason, had its door unlocked. Voicing her disgust at the blank room, she then saw the person inside this room - which she formerly thought was empty. This is how she met Piconjo - and somehow, the two got along quite well and engaged in a rather grim yet engaging conversation, talking about morals and death - and most importantly, what the both of them have done or are even doing in the first place. Managing to advise Piconjo to not use his sword unless he's already down the path of using it in the first place and leaving her newly made friend alone, hoping to talk to him again at a later time after a conversation she wasn't quite expecting to have. To contrast this, Akai was seen out in the sports field with Jett - with the two engaging in casual conversation while otherwise minding their own business (Akai had formerly left her room to study outdoors as opposed to the hotel room she and Haachama are in).

A few days later, Akai returned to the chatroom and ended up talking to Sage and later Pyrrha (who showed up during the said conversation) - properly introducing herself in the chatroom to them both, and also explaining a little of her situation - before backing it up by switching control to Haachama in real time, who then proceeded to take over the rest of the conversation... which then got her roped into a meet-up between the three of them, which also doubled as an exercise session. The majority of this session was Pyrrha teaching both Sage and Haachama about the contents of the gym and how to use them, before getting them to actually use them - two examples being treadmills and weights. Haachama took notes gradually, and when it came time to leave, she returned to her room and shared her notes with Akai - who then added more notes of her own based on any missing observations, and other potentially important details about the effects of exercise itself.

The next thing the duo partook in was something they did together - a game show was to be hosted by someone known as Chris McLean, and with nothing to really lose, the duo convinced themselves to sign up so they would both partake together. Good news is, they were one of the eight contestants to be accepted - but of course since this is Akai and Haachama, they were really two people in their same, shared body. Arriving to a new island on a boat with the other seven, the duo spent their travel staring out over the sea and into the sky and talking to each other (with the one in control speaking aloud to, visibly, themselves) before the boat arrived at the island's docks. With Haachama up front, the two sisters wanted to leave a lasting first impression - though Akai was mentioned despite not being physically present. After her entrance and introduction, complete with a boisterous laugh or two (by herself or alongside Chris' own laughter), Haachama saw herself off to the campfire like the other three contestant before her, after stating she really didn't care if she loses or not and is only here for a good time. When all eight of the participants had gathered around the campfire - the others being Lancer, Dante, Joon, Poppy, Voss, Pit and Rhyme - Haachama was sorted into team number two, and settled with Lancer, Pit and Joon. Prior to even assessing her teammates, Haachama grew weary of Chris' behaviour shifting between on and off camera - and though she kept it to herself, was not terribly sure what to make of these two different 'mindsets' he may as well have. A brief glance to her team followed - she knew nothing on any of the three of them, but the one she should be most familiar with, Pit (via angel), she still lacks anything on as she has never met any of these people before. As Chris went around the campfire for questions, Haachama was the first among the total 8 with an actual question after he had announced the first event, which was high diving. For the sake of the uninformed, and potentially making herself look like an idiot, she (on purpose) asked how this event will work, and in turn, instructions on what to do, believing that everyone will perform better with the supplied instructions, and Chris will in turn get a better show should he answer. With a confident, mischievous smile, she threw her arms behind her head and awaited for the host's response, expecting him to answer.

After getting her answer she asked for, with Chris explaining to the entire group as she prompted - from start to finish. He first said that the group would be doing the high dive to 'compete' for materials for their houses and their camps, where the team to win the high dive picks materials for their houses first, but winning the next challenge will reward the winning team with something for their team camp - which as Chris hints - they're going to be there a while. Haachama wordlessly processed as she summed it up as competing for materials and items for herself and the team she is in, so they can hopefully live comfortably enough and sustainably enough - but Chris also hinted that was planned next was a surprise, and that didn't sit right with her, nor Akai who was 'sleeping' in her mind. Then the challenge came by, and... they have to jump 'into' a shark cage?! Walk off the cliff and jump, he says - it'll be safe, he says! Haachama may not be fearful of sharks or even death, but if they 'eat' her, she and her sister are dead no matter what! While waiting for her cue to make a jump for it, she confined herself to herself and began to think of a plan to make it into the cage safely, and avoid the sharks' maws. This event would not receive a written conclusion, instead receiving a swift and abrupt end due to rebranding and all 'events' and 'quests' currently in session (this being one of them) was put on hold, but before it could resume, it was archived with an incomplete ending.

## Character Relationships

What relationships (friends, foes, romantic interests, etc) have they developed in the RP?

* *Example Person -* A character from ***Linked Title Here***. The details of the relationship would go here.

## Trivia

* A handful of references are scattered among them both, to put it simply.
	+ Their Tupperbox brackets, which are respectively 'freeheart' (Akai) and 'onlyheart' (Haachama) are named after the #FREEHAATO and #ONLYHAACHAMA hashtags that were used in the official Akai and Haachama arc in their source content.
	+ When Akai first logged into the Paradise's chat, the username she had was 'RedHeart' - the name of the real Akai's first original song as an idol talent. This was then changed to 'SharedHeart' when Haachama logged in for the first time.
	+ Their assigned emoji is ❣️ (:heart\_exclamation:) - which is also the same one assigned to the idol talent.
	+ The duo's shared title as the 'Coexist Duo' comes from the name of one of the real Akai's streams - literally named #COEXIST - where one half of it contains the ending to the official Akai and Haachama arc.
	+ Part of the duo's rp sample used for their character submission is original text straight from the beginning from the official Akai and Haachama arc - and the reason why they're well known in the first place (Haachama's first of many in-lore deaths).
		- Haachama's repeated deaths in lore is where the shared pseudo-immortality comes from, as in lore, Haachama keeps coming back after death several times (and originally, this was her power and her power only).
	+ One of the traits shared between both of the duo is that they are atrocious cooks for different reasons. Akai puts too many ingredients in, while Haachama offers more 'questionable' ingredients - and this is one defining character trait from the real Akai and Haachama which has carried over to here (however, they are both learning to improve this).
	+ Other Hololive characters can and will be mentioned where applicable, if not hinted. At the time of writing this, only Haachama has met other Hololive characters - and that is through the Underworld (though by name, not a single on has been mentioned).
		- The first mention of another was in the duo's rp sample, where Haachama implied she met Death, and remarked that they 'both pretty and nice, actually' - though an exact name was not given. This same person also is the reason for the duo's psuedo-immortality, as Haachama made a deal with them to return to Akai.
		- The second mention was when she met Pit for the first time, remembering a certain angel she knows back home.
