Name: Miyuna Okabe Age: 25 Pronouns: She/Her Ethnicity: Japanese About: Strong of body but brittle of spirit, and the second-in-command of The Virtues, a prestigious eldritch monster execution squad.

Knows everything about everyone- that’s why his hair is so long. It’s full of secrets. Stop calling him a bad person just because he’s orchestrating your downfall 🙄 Name: Alister Dantes Age: 25 Pronouns: He/They Ethnicity: French About: The eyes of an owl and the constitution of a Victorian-era orphan bely this flakey Frenchie’s heart of gold. Mischa’s best (and only?) friend, and the type of person who would be helping middle-aged women through their divorces on MMOs if MMOs still existed. Would have loved Clash of Clans.

Red and white text on a dark grey background. The text reads; Gimme a summary The world is ending; though really, that's nothing new. Crumbling under constant attacks from Voidborn, monsters from the deepest reaches of space, humanity's last line of defence are the young pilots of ANIMA. It’s a big deal and all, but Mischa Rosenthal is more concerned about their next meal–which gets messy when they are caught breaking into somewhere they shouldn’t be, and are forcibly conscripted to the organisation. There they meet Kōgōmi Martyn, a skilled mecha pilot and, the designated “saviour of the world” chosen by focus testing and propped up by extensive propaganda campaigns. Can Mischa navigate the world of politics, backstabbing and interpersonal drama that ANIMA thrusts them into? Will they ever get on the good side of Captain Kōgōmi Martyn? And when it comes down to it… can they stop the world from ending? The answer to all of these questions is no. Red an white text on a grey background. On the left is a drawing of Mischa, an Indian person with bleached hair, brown roots and wearing a red and white boiler suit. On the top left of the drawing are the nonbinary and lesbian flags. On the right are three drawings of Mischa, one in colour and two in black and white. In the bottom middle is a spotify now playing icon for Compulsive Liar by Ezra Furman. The text reads as follows; Meet Your Protag Name: Mischa Rosenthal Age: 23 Pronouns: They/Them Ethnicity: Indian About: A habitual liar with a stolen accent, too many false identities to count, and a gaping void where their sense of self should be. Every day they aspire to be insane, flirtatious, androgynous and violent, just like bugs bunny. Our intrepid main character! Red text on a dark grey background in all caps that reads; But guess what Red text on a dark grey background in all caps that reads; Protag 2 electric boogaloo
