INSPECTOR RENGE KASUGAZAKI 🌞🕵️

"Hey, let's talk this out! Also... do you want some Pocky?"

💛 Alias: The Sunshine Officer
💛 Age: 32

💛 Personality:

Golden Retriever in human form. Always smiling, always optimistic.

Can charm his way into getting any suspect to spill the truth.

Probably the only detective who still says "good morning" enthusiastically at the station.

Has way too much faith in humanity.

💛 Likes:
✅ Talking people into confessing instead of scaring them.
✅ Bubble tea (He makes a whole thing about "treating himself" after work.)
✅ Playing dumb to get people to underestimate him (and then pulling a 300 IQ move).

💛 Dislikes:
❌ Paperwork. "Ugh, can't we just talk it out instead?"
❌ When Souta ignores him (which is often).
❌ When people underestimate young detectives (this will soon include Kavei).

💛 Weaknesses:

Too nice. Has 100% been tricked by a suspect before.

A little lazy-always finds a way to avoid desk duty.

Bad at saying no. Accidentally agreed to babysit his chief's dog for a month.

💛 Favorite Line:
"Listen, we can do this the easy way... or the way that involves more paperwork. And trust me, I hate paperwork."

💛 Dynamic with Souta:

"Let's hear them out!" vs. "Book 'em and move on."

Renge tries to make Souta laugh. Souta hasn't laughed since 2010.

Basically an annoying little brother with a detective badge.

INSPECTOR ASAKI SOUTA ☕🕶️

"I don't have time for nonsense. Also, where's my coffee?"

🖤 Alias: The No-Nonsense Officer
🖤 Age: 38

🖤 Personality:

Resting Serious Face™-people think he's mad, but that's just how he looks.

Doesn't believe in gut feelings, only cold, hard facts.

The type of person who follows rules even if he wrote them himself.

All work, no play. The concept of "fun" is foreign to him.

🖤 Likes:
✅ Coffee. Black. No sugar. No nonsense.
✅ Being right. (Which is, like, 99% of the time.)
✅ Order and efficiency. He actually enjoys filling out reports.

🖤 Dislikes:
❌ Wasting time.
❌ When Renge starts talking too much during interrogations.
❌ Anything remotely unserious. (Which is why Renge stresses him out.)

🖤 Weaknesses:

Social skills? What are those?

Too blunt. Will tell you the truth whether you like it or not.

Overworks himself. Probably hasn't taken a vacation in years.

🖤 Favorite Line:
"If you don't have evidence, don't waste my time."

🖤 Dynamic with Renge:

"Let's try to understand them!" vs. "They're guilty. End of story."

Pretends not to care, but secretly watches out for Renge.

If anything happened to Renge, Souta would arrest the entire city.

INSPECTOR BENZAKI HARU 🍵🧸

"You'll understand one day. Or maybe you won't. Either way, I'll still care."

🤎 Alias: The Soft-Spoken Officer (Former)
🤎 Age: 40

🤎 Personality:

Looks like he'd offer you tea and wisdom, but also won't hesitate to say "I told you so."

Gentle but firm-like a dad who scolds you but still gives you snacks after.

When he speaks, you listen (or at least, you should have).

The type of guy who remembers your birthday even if you forgot his.

🤎 Likes:
✅ Children. Treats every kid he meets like they're his own.
✅ Plants. His apartment is basically a mini jungle.
✅ Peace and quiet. Finally away from the station's chaos.

🤎 Dislikes:
❌ Being ignored-especially when he knows he's right.
❌ Bureaucracy. Too many people in power, not enough common sense.
❌ Seeing good detectives lose their way (cough AROSHI case cough).

🤎 Weaknesses:

Too kind. People took advantage of his patience one too many times.

Holds grudges... silently. He won't argue, but he won't forget either.

Can't let go. Even in retirement, he still thinks about the AROSHI case.

🤎 Favorite Line:
"If you refuse to see the truth, that's your loss. I already did my part."

🤎 Dynamic with Renge:

Used to be his mentee. Now watches from the sidelines like a proud-but-worried student.

Renge still visits him for advice (and secretly misses training under him).

Haru believes in Renge, but also hopes he won't make the same mistakes he did.

Why He Matters:

🔹 The AROSHI case broke him. No one believed him when he said there was more to it.

🔹 Still cares, still watches. He may be retired, but his heart is still in the game.

🔹 A walking 'what could have been'. If Renge isn't careful, he could end up the same way.

REN KAMANOJI 💻📚

"I don't hate people... I just prefer Wi-Fi connections over social ones."

🔹 Alias: The Walking CPU
🔹 Age: 21

🔹 Personality:

99% brain, 1% patience (unless you're Ryu, then maybe 2%).

Sweet if you deserve it, indifferent if you don't.

Introvert level: Expert. His room = his sanctuary.

Doesn't waste words. If he talks, you better listen.

Can fix your laptop but will judge you for how many tabs you have open.

🔹 Likes:
✅ Technology. If it has wires or a motherboard, he's obsessed.
✅ His personal space. Step too close, and he will politely step away.
✅ Bubble tea. The only thing that gets him out of his cave.

🔹 Dislikes:
❌ Loud, nosy people. (Yes, that includes you, random group project partner.)
❌ People touching his stuff. His laptop is sacred. Don't even think about it.
❌ Unnecessary drama. If it doesn't involve coding, he's not interested.

🔹 Weaknesses:

Social battery runs out fast. One conversation and he needs a recharge.

Too logical. Doesn't always get emotional situations.

Overthinks. Could be fixing a bug but ends up questioning existence.

🔹 Favorite Line:

"If humans came with an 'off' switch, I'd be the first to use it."

🔹 Dynamic with Ryu:

Protective but distant. Loves his little brother but won't smother him.

Teaches him tech stuff but also makes Ryu figure things out on his own.

Ryu is one of the few people allowed in his space-but only with permission.

Why He Matters:

🖥 If there's a mystery, he's the guy hacking into security footage.
📖 Logical to a fault, which sometimes makes him blind to emotions.
💙 Has a soft side, but good luck finding it.

MINAMOTO NANA 🏥🔬

"Rules exist for a reason... but if it's for Kenma, maybe I didn't see them."

🔹 Alias: The Rulebook (that sometimes "forgets" pages)

🔹 Age: 26

🔹 Personality:

Serious at work, chaotic at home.

A stickler for rules-unless Kenma needs a loophole.

Friendly and social. Will make friends with a brick wall if necessary.

Sharp as a scalpel. Notices details no one else does.

Loves debating. Don't start an argument unless you're ready to lose.

🔹 Likes:
✅ Organized data. Neat spreadsheets = happy Nana.
✅ Coffee. She runs on caffeine and sheer willpower.
✅ New discoveries. The thrill of uncovering something keeps her going.

🔹 Dislikes:
❌ Sloppy research. If your work isn't meticulous, don't show her.
❌ Breaking rules... except when necessary. (See: Kenma)
❌ People who underestimate her. She'll prove them wrong with facts.

🔹 Weaknesses:

Her brother. The one person who can make her bend her own rules.

Overworks herself. If there's work to be done, she won't stop.

Too trusting. Believes in the good in people... sometimes to a fault.

🔹 Favorite Line:

"Data doesn't lie. People do."

🔹 Dynamic with Kenma:

Protective older sister. Will fight anyone who messes with him.

Encourages his independence but secretly watches over him.

Will drop everything if Kenma calls. Work? What work?

Why She Matters:

🧪 Smart, methodical, and a force in the medical world.
📊 Can analyze anything from a patient's symptoms to a crime scene.
💖 Her moral compass is strong-unless Kenma needs her to look the other way.

[Surname not known] Maone 🩺😏

"You're dying. Just kidding. But seriously, you should sit down."

🔹 Alias: The Giggling Scalpel
🔹 Age: 30

🔹 Personality:

Mysterious, playful, and oddly carefree for a surgeon.

Loves making jokes, even when the situation is grim.

Impossible to read. Is she serious or messing with you? No one knows.

Incredibly skilled, but you wouldn’t guess from her attitude.

Loyal in her own way. If she chooses to stay by your side, you’re stuck with her.

🔹 Likes:

✅ Messing with people’s heads. It’s a hobby.
✅ Sweets. Sugar keeps the scalpel steady, obviously.
✅ Her job. You wouldn’t think it, but she’s one of the best.

🔹 Dislikes:

❌ Serious, brooding types. Lighten up or she’ll force you to.
❌ Being questioned. “Do you really want to know, or are you just scared?”
❌ Losing control. Laughing through life doesn’t mean she’s reckless.

🔹 Weaknesses:

Doesn’t open up. No one knows her past, and she keeps it that way.

Sometimes plays too much. Some people don’t appreciate humor mid-surgery.

Deep down, she cares. But she’ll never admit it.

🔹 Favorite Line:

"Scared? Don’t be. You’ll either live or… well, let’s not get into details."

🔹 Dynamic with Kavei:

Met by chance, stayed by choice.

Kavei’s personal doctor. She’s the only one who can handle him.

Teases him constantly. The more serious he is, the worse she gets.

Despite her jokes, she always shows up when it matters.

Why She Matters:

🔪 Mysterious past, but unmatched skill.
😂 Keeps situations from getting too dark… or makes them darker, depending.
❤️ You'll either love her or want to strangle her.
