Echoes on File
Laila
"Azy... That’s what I call him, and nobody else gets to. He’s my calm and my chaos, my brother and my mirror. Sometimes his silence drives me crazy, but when he smiles… it’s all worth it. I don’t need to understand him to feel him; I just know that if anyone ever dares to hurt him, it’ll be the last quiet breath they take. He’s my little star, and there isn’t a sky big enough to keep us apart."
Zaya
"He drives me insane… and draws me in just the same. I don’t get how he can be so calm while everything burns. I love provoking him, watching him lose control, feeling that moment right before he says something he shouldn’t. And when he does… it steals the air from my lungs. I know it’s a dangerous game, but I can’t stop. One day, I’m going to lose my mind over him, and I won’t even care."
Serin
"He’s my weak spot… and the reason I need to control everything. I plan every word before I speak, but when he’s near, my mind just… melts. I watch him from the shadows, thinking I can figure him out, but every time I try to get closer, his silence stops me cold. I don’t need him to say it… I already know he carries me in the chaos he keeps locked inside."
Tanyi
"I don’t need words to understand him. Half the time, I have no idea what’s going on in his head, and I don’t care—I just walk beside him because I know he’d do the same. I don’t know why he never asks for help, but he knows that if he falls, I’ll be there before he hits the ground. I’m not trying to lead him or follow him… I just make sure he makes it out alive. Sometimes I laugh at how serious he is, other times I wonder if he’s ever really rested. But out of all of them… I’m the one who watches his back. Always."
Kabu
"Always so serious, brother. Sometimes I wanna put a banana on his sword just to get a smile out of him. But I get it… he carries the weight for all of us. So I joke, I laugh, and I pretend nothing’s wrong, just so he can breathe for a second. We don’t need to talk. He knows that when everything falls apart, I’ll be right behind him. Making noise… but never missing a step."
If this cycle wants to take you down, it'll have to get past me first. And I swear to you, it doesn't know who it's dealing with
Laila Sipharex
Age: 22 Height: 1.72 m Year of Birth: 2025
Origin: Iksan, South Korea. A city with a profound spiritual legacy.
Astronomical Event: Born during a unique alignment of Azheris (M64 Galaxy) over the Mireuksa Temple. (7 minutes after Azhery).
Estimated IQ: 135 (Superior emotional intelligence, with mastery of social tactics and advanced reading of human dynamics).
Emotional Profile:
-
A Camouflaged Emotional Leader (when the situation demands it)
-
Obsessively Protective Instinct
-
Positive Manipulation (Uses her charisma as both shield and sword)
-
An Uncomfortable Mirror for Others: She sees you, understands you… and won't let you lie.
Current Residence: Horai Institute of Advanced Technology, Japan
Emotional State: An emotional force in equilibrium—protective fury, contained sweetness, and an inner voice that never stops shouting:
"You will not break… not while I'm here."
Echoes on File
Azhery:
"My brother never writes for anyone, so I will write for him. Azy, you are my brightest reflection… and my most shattered one. You are my strength, and you know I don’t need words to tell when you’re falling. I share your secrets, your silences, and your fears. I love you fiercely, and I guard you gently. You are the star that lights up my darkest moments."
Zaya:
"She's my partner in battles and laughter. She loves teasing me with jokes about her brother just to see me blush. I respect her, and I know she respects me too—even if she has to put up with my outbursts without appeal. When Laila says 'let's go,' everyone follows."
Serin:
"I call her my big sister. She's brilliant… and exhausting sometimes. When one of her outbursts starts, I already know it’s about Azy. She gets angry, she yells, and in the end, she’s either laughing or pretending to cry, as if it’s all part of her own ritual. But I can’t stay mad at her. Her chaos makes sense, and her heart… it’s impossible not to admire."
Tanyi:
"She’s a whirlwind, yet somehow she makes everything make sense. Sometimes she gets angry for no reason, or so I think… until I find out she always has one. She's brilliant, intense, and doesn’t let anyone get lost in their silence. She yells at me when she thinks I'm being foolish and defends me when no one else dares. I don't know if I respect her or fear her, but I know there's no one else like her."
Kabu:
"Everyone thinks Laila is all uncontrolled fury… I know she’s just tired of holding up her brother’s world and the rest of ours. Sometimes she yells at me, other times she ignores me, but she never lies to me. When she gets too intense, I throw a joke her way or make her laugh until she forgets she's angry. And if she ever breaks, she knows she can do it with me nearby. I don't leave her alone, not even when she says she doesn't need me. That little star shines a little calmer when she knows I'm watching over her… even if she pretends she doesn't."
Go ahead, try me. But lay a finger on what's mine, and you won't like the ending I write for you.
Zaya Teyolia
Age: 22 Height: 1.72 m Year of Birth: 2025
Origin: Aztlán, Mexico. Grew up surrounded by symbols, ruins, and secrets. From a young age, she knew power isn't inherited… it's claimed. Her lineage is mixed: ancient energy, modern will.
Astronomical Event: Born under a unique alignment of Azheris (M64 Galaxy) over the Mireuksa Temple.
Estimated IQ: 120 (Practical–Instinctive Intelligence).
Emotional Profile:
-
Fiercely Independent to the point of stubbornness
-
A Temper of Tempered Steel
-
Explosive when anyone gets too close to Azhery
Current Residence: Horai Institute of Advanced Technology, Japan
Emotional State: "If you're going to challenge me, make sure you take me down with the first blow… because if you leave me standing, I won't forgive the attempt."
Echoes on File
Azhery:
"I admire him, I challenge him, I provoke him. I feel something intense for Azy, but I've never said it out loud. I use sarcasm as my shield around him, but I’d melt if he ever threw it back at me—I’d love that!
'Everything I do, I do for you, Azy… even if you don’t understand it.' 🔥💋 "
Laila:
"We're great friends, we get along well, but Laila loves to tease me about her brother when I'm around, and it drives me wild! I respect her as an equal, but deep down, I know that if she's decided something for us, there's no turning back."
Serin:
"I'm her biggest emotional rival. It's not that I hate her, but… she constantly pushes me to my limit. I think Serin feels threatened by my closeness with Azy, but I don't pay it much mind. In combat, she can be lethal… if she doesn’t lose her cool first."
Tanyi:
"She doesn't need to raise her voice to command a room. There's something about her… that forces you to listen. She's pure fire, and yet she knows how to hold back when everyone else is losing their head. Sometimes I watch her and think she could beat anyone, even me. I like training with her; she makes me want to be better… and at least she doesn't make me look like a fool like Serin does. You listening, Serin?! "Ouch! Let me write in Zaya's profile Serin! … move aside!..."
Kabu:
"Zaya is lightning on legs. She walks in, yells, throws something at me, and a minute later she’s laughing. She likes to act like she can handle anything, but I know she sometimes carries more than she lets on, especially when Azhery is involved. When we train, I try to make her laugh right before she breaks my face. It works half the time; the other half… well, I learn to dodge better. I love watching her fight. It reminds me why I'm still here: someone's got to keep up with the fire, right?"
My strength isn't optional. It's the minimum requirement on the job description for 'being yours'. And let's play honey.
Serin Draevyn
Age: 22 Height: 1.66 m Year of Birth: 2025
Origin: Busan, South Korea. Daughter of a Palestinian mother and a Korean father. Raised in silence between the rigidity of the East and the resilience of the desert. Her mind learned before her hands did, and her emotions… always arrived last.
Astronomical Event: Born in the shadows of a conflict that was never meant to know love, under the anomalous alignment of the Dravhën Constellation. There was no moon, no stars. Only the steady pulse of two people who defied the world… so she could exist.
Estimated IQ: 125 (Practical–Instinctive Intelligence).
Emotional Profile:
-
A Natural Challenger: She'll challenge you to a duel before saying hello—if she trusts you.
-
Emotionally Unrestrained: What she feels shows… or is acted upon.
-
When Azhery is near, everything in her crumbles.
-
Her smile is real… but if it fades, someone crossed the line.
Current Residence: Horai Institute of Advanced Technology, Japan
Emotional State: "Balanced, emotional, and precise. But within her pulses the question: Can you love someone… without ever desiring a response?"
Echoes on File
Azhery: 💞
"He isn't broken… he just thinks beyond everyone else. I know that inside his silence is something not even the universe can contain. He attracts me, infuriates me, inspires me. When I look at him, everything I thought I understood becomes small. And yes, we fight, we clash, we hurt each other… but only because we speak the same language: the language of 'contained fire.' If anyone else tried to reach him, they'd burn.🔥 But I can withstand it… because ✨I love him!✨ (Zaya:⚔️Hey!... Serin!... Move aside! It's my turn!)"
Laila:
"Serin is part of our family, almost a younger sister—brilliant and serious. Until she picks up a katana and goes looking for someone to challenge. She always has a plan, even when nobody asked for one. I love watching her so focused… until I make her laugh and her whole system crashes. And don't get me started on when my brother is around: her brain shuts off and her eyes shine like she's staring at the sun. Sometimes I provoke her just for that, just to see her melt a little. It's impossible not to love her. She's a storm contained in a teacup: elegant, sweet… and dangerous if uncorked."
Zaya:
"Serin is my most annoying mirror. Strong, precise, and way too controlled for my taste. Her calmness irritates me so much! Ugh! Every time I look at her, I feel like she's measuring me, and it makes me want to break her equation. But I respect her; her fire is focused and hidden beneath that calm, and when it comes out, it reminds me why I call her my rival. I don't hate her, even though she drives me crazy. She forces me to feel, to fight for what I want, and that, for me, is a daily challenge I don't plan on losing. (Serin: Oops! You didn't even write an emoji?... I did!… Zaya: Move over, Serin! Let me write!... Serin: hahaha I put a little finger and an ear… Zaya: 'What did you do, what, where?! Get back here, Serin!... Serin!...')"
Tanyi:
"Serin is a hard puzzle to solve. She speaks little, but when she does, every word feels like a structured verdict. We fight more than we talk, and yet we always end up training together or having coffee. Sometimes I watch her and wonder if she's actually challenging me or looking out for me—it's impossible to tell. Plus, she has that look that cuts and heals at the same time. She can get angry, yell, or ignore me in one second, and the next she's stealing my breakfast. But I don't mind. As long as she does it, I know she's close by to back me up. And that's enough for me."
Kabu:
"Ha, the little Zen flower! Serin is my favorite experiment. I say something silly just to see how long it takes for her to frown, and in the end, I always win. (Serin: What are you saying about me, Kabu?) Sometimes I think she has a patience chip installed by mistake, because she still hasn't killed me. When she gets too serious, I show up with a joke or a sandwich, just to remind her the world is still fun. By the tenth time, of course, she throws something at me. Doesn't matter, it's worth it to see her smile. Behind all that logic is someone who thinks too much, and I like to remind her that life is simpler. If she ever stops arguing with me, that's when I'll start to worry. (Serin: Haa… cute, but unnecessary Kabu… Are you going to eat that sandwich?... Kabu: Serin, that sandwich is the universe in equilibrium, it's full of... Hey! That's mine!)"
My style is relaxed, but my loyalty is absolute. I only have one fixed variable: friendship. Threaten it, and the whole equation changes. My response protocol has no 'stop' command..
Tanyi Kazashin
Age: 23 Height: 1.76 m Year of Birth: 2024
Origin: Osaka, Japan. Son of a military engineer and a neuroscientist specializing in cybernetic synchronicity. He grew up among programming code, tools, and screens. His childhood was defined more by the silence of a home that thought by typing, not talking. His mother taught him that every machine has a heartbeat; his father, that every strike has a calculation. Ever since, he has lived between circuits and measured breaths.
Astronomical Event: Born during an unknown solar interference, when an electromagnetic wave blacked out the city's systems. As he was being born, everything went dark; his heart began to beat in sync with the pulses of the magnetic field, and something was imprinted on his very being.
Estimated IQ: 135 (Genius-level logical–mathematical intelligence).
Emotional Profile:
-
Serene, logical, with a sense of humor so subtle few notice it.
-
Analyzes before he feels, but when he feels, he does so with precision.
-
In combat, he calculates movements like equations; outside of it, he improvises as if nothing mattered.
Current Residence: Horai Institute of Advanced Technology, Japan
Emotional State: "Calm, rational, constant. But between one line of code and the next, he sometimes wonders if the heart can also be programmed… just in case it fails."
Echoes on File
Azhery:
"He's reliable, he's the steady pulse that can destabilize any competition. When we lock eyes during training, he already knows the next move, and we never fail. When I accelerate, he accelerates. And when one of us has a better idea… well, let's just say we don't just progress—we shatter paradigms."
Laila:
"With Tanyi, silence is never empty; that's his language. He thinks he analyzes before he feels, but what he's really doing is feeling with a precision that's terrifying. His friendship isn't a cascade of words or easy promises; it's a constant. It's the assurance of a well-written algorithm: I know that if I fail, his logic will find the most efficient escape route. He's the kind of person who says without words, 'You can't break me,' no matter what you throw at him. Finding a friend like that… is almost impossible to achieve."
Zaya:
"Tanyi is living proof that appearances deceive. People look at him and see the typical rich, presumptuous, serious guy. But when you least expect it, he drops a comment that goes from absurd to so perfectly reasoned it completely shatters your worldview. I love it when he goes into philosopher mode, analyzing life with that calm he has, but deep down, you know he's just waiting for the perfect moment to back you up. And yes, it's embarrassing to admit, but sometimes his insights are the only thing that's pulled me out of a spiral of negativity."
Serin:
"Far too sure of himself… until I prove him otherwise. He turns every training session into a challenge and every conversation into a mental game. He has a contagious calm that challenges my plans, and in the end, I always manage to disrupt his rhythm without him noticing. Sometimes he's an elegant madman, and that's what makes him interesting. I don't know if he confuses me or balances me, but when he's not around, the silence loses its order. You need someone to challenge you to feel truly alive.
(Tanyi: You won't leave me alone even in your own texts, Serin?! Let's see! What did you say about me?... Serin: Nothing! Just nice things! You'll read it later... Tanyi: Give me that!... Serin: Let go of my laptop!... Tanyi: Give it to me!... Make me!... Serin: You'll see now!... (thud.. thump.. crash Tanyi: och! hey! old on!).. Serin: See? I told you to let go nicely. You can read it later, Tanyi... Goodbye!)"
Kabu:
"Haha! Talking about Tanyi? That guy is my brother. For life, since we were snot-nosed kids and I tried to teach him how to ride a bike, and instead of looking at the road, he'd calculate the probability of falling based on wind speed and friction… and he was always right—he'd fall! People see a serious genius who talks to machines. I see the kid I shared my snacks with when his house was just silence and screens. He's the kind of guy who helps you without you asking, who extends a hand before you even realize he extended it hours ago. He trusts me to add color to his logical world, and I trust him to be the solid foundation in my sometimes-chaotic one."
I work in silence, proud of what my hands can give. My legacy won't be coins, but the bonds I forge. What I do for my circle each day—that's my real power.
Kabu Renshiro
Age: 23 Height: 1.88 m Year of Birth: 2024
Origin: Osaka, Japan. Lives with his mother and grandmother; nothing is known about his father. Works at the family restaurant: "Ryuu no Kaen – The Dragon's Flame."
Astronomical Event: Born under a partial lunar eclipse, an event his grandmother interpreted as a sign of fire and resilience.
Estimated IQ: 115 (Practical and applied intelligence. A good improviser, quick at reading people).
Emotional Profile:
-
Nobility, patience, simple humor, and a keen sensitivity for perceiving the moods of others.
-
Tends to stay silent rather than argue, but when he speaks, he's usually right… unless he's cracking one of his jokes.
Current Residence: Horai Institute of Advanced Technology, Japan
Emotional State: “Kabu is the one who watches your back, even if you wouldn't do the same for him.”
Echoes on File
Azhery:
"Kabu is living proof that nothing depends on lineage or inherited talent. When I'm tired of carrying the weight of who I am, I look at him—serving tables, carrying dishes, trays, pulling double shifts… and he still never misses training. When I think life is too harsh or I feel discouraged, I see him, arriving sweaty from the restaurant, tired and smiling, ready to train as if it were nothing. Damn, his silence hits me harder than any speech: he doesn't ask for a place, he conquers it every single day with what he does. Brother, you know I'm there for you… always."
Laila:
"Oh, Kabu… you have something no one else in the group has: that humanity that makes the extraordinary seem attainable. When I'm with you, I stop feeling the pressure to be perfect. You smile at me, you listen, you offer me food even when you have less, and you do it as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I love that your strength isn't in your muscles or strategies, but in that disarmingly simple kindness. You're the big brother I wish I had—well, after Azy, you know… but don't tell him! ... You're the little star that never fades."
Zaya:
"He breaks me… how is it possible for someone to work, study, and train at that level without breaking? I burn like an intense, fast, fierce fire; he's a constant ember, impossible to extinguish. And just when I think he's about to fall, he surprises me with a laugh or an improvised bowl of ramen that pulls me back from my own explosion. He has the skill of reminding me that life isn't always about screams and scars, that you also win by laughing and sharing. That's why it annoys me so much to admit how much I like him. (Hey Kabu! That ramen is mine..!)"
Serin:
"Huh?... Who?... The Panda Ryuu?... Yeah, I know him… and I admire him.
(Kabu: Seriously, Serin?... Serin: Shut up! I'm writing).
As I was saying: his way of life intrigues me. He never brags, never demands recognition, but when we all turn looking for stability, there he is, steadfast, like a wall holding the group up. That's his secret: he doesn't need to be seen to be indispensable.
(Kabu: Why didn't you ever tell me that before, Serin?... Serin: Don't pressure me, Kabu!).
I know I sometimes overthink, and it throws me off. But he doesn't need to plan anything: he just does what needs to be done. I admire him for that, and I understand that true strength lies in constancy, not in calculated victories.
(Kabu: That's really sweet, little Zen flower, you surprise me!... Serin: Enough already! Come here… get back! Or I won't write anything else in your bio… Kabu!... Kabu!!!... Zaya: Serin, I think Kabu took your cookies, go get him… Serin: What? My cookies?... You're in for it if I catch you!… Get back here, cookie-stealing panda!... Tanyi: Did he really steal the cookies?... Zaya: No, I saw them and wanted them, Kabu was just the perfect patsy to take them… hahahaha)."
Tanyi:
"Kabu reminds me that not everything needs a foundation, a central focus, something to hold you up. While I'm mapping routes in my mind, he's already walked the path with simple steps. His strength isn't in what he says, but in what he does, and that coherence forces me to look at myself in silence and question if what I'm doing is right.
He's large in body, but larger in will. When everyone thinks of giving up, he appears with that laugh of his, a plate of food, or a word so simple it erases the storm. They call him Panda, and they don't realize how true it is: he seems like a gentle giant, but if someone touches what he protects, he awakens with a strength that's frightening.
I don't need to swear it: if I ever fall, I know Kabu will be the first to reach out his hand. And if he ever doubts himself, I'll be there to remind him that his constancy is worth more than any inherited power.
(Kabu: …That was deep, brother… Tanyi: It wasn't meant for you to comment on… Zaya: Hahaha look at the panda blushing! Serin: Hey, Zen Panda, don't drag Tanyi into your dramas! Laila: Shhh… leave them alone, they finally said something nice to each other. Azhery: …So, Serin, your cookies?... Serin: Hey, wait a moment… Zaya, what the hell are those crumbs on your cheeks?!) ... Everyone laughing in the end..."
