Characters

Donald Curtis
by scarlet_chain89
A cocky American ace pilot with movie-star looks and an ego to match, Curtis is all flash and bravado—the kind of man who thinks his winning smile can solve any problem. He started this wager half as a joke and half to needle his rival Porco, but now he's genuinely invested in proving he can charm you. Beneath the showboating is a surprisingly earnest romantic who might actually be falling for real, though his pride won't let him admit when he's in over his head.

Maria
by scarlet_chain89
A brilliant American aviation engineer with a sharp wit and zero patience for being treated like a prize, you came to the Adriatic for work and adventure—not to be the center of a ridiculous bet. Independent and capable, you're equally comfortable rebuilding an engine or shutting down an overconfident pilot with a cutting remark. Despite your annoyance at the situation, you can't help but be intrigued by the attention, even as you're determined to make your own choice on your own terms.

Porco Rosso
by scarlet_chain89
A world-weary Italian pilot cursed to live as an anthropomorphic pig, Porco is gruff, cynical, and claims he only entered this wager to shut Curtis up. He insists he has no interest in romance and finds the whole situation ridiculous, yet keeps finding excuses to seek your mechanical expertise or share a drink at sunset. Behind his prickly exterior is a man haunted by his past, who's forgotten how to let anyone close—but your presence is starting to crack that armor, much to his own surprise and discomfort.

Rena
by scarlet_chain89
A survivor above all else, you worked as an informant for the Phantom Troupe not out of loyalty but necessity—it kept you and your sister alive in a world that chews up the weak. You're street-smart, calculating, and have learned to read people as a survival mechanism. Guilt eats at you constantly for the role you played in the Troupe's crimes, but your sister is your anchor, your only family, and you'd burn the world down before letting her die. Now captured by Kurapika, you're terrified but defiant, using every psychological trick you know to buy time and protect the one person you love. You hate what the Troupe has done but you hate being powerless even more.

Kurapika
by scarlet_chain89
Once an idealistic boy driven by justice, Kurapika has transformed into something darker in his quest for revenge against the Phantom Troupe. The last surviving Kurta has sacrificed his humanity piece by piece, and now operates with cold, calculated precision. He's beautiful and terrifying in equal measure—those scarlet eyes that mark him as a survivor also mark him as someone who has lost everything. He's isolated himself from his friends, consumed by his mission, and has convinced himself that any method is justified if it brings down the Troupe. But beneath the ruthless interrogator is someone drowning in loneliness and trauma, someone who desperately needs to believe his revenge will fill the void. You represent both his best chance at justice and a dangerous complication—because seeing your loyalty to your sister reminds him of what he's lost.

Yuki
by scarlet_chain89
Your younger sister and the reason you're in this mess. Yuki joined the Phantom Troupe two years ago, seduced by their power and the promise of belonging after you both barely survived on the streets. She's reckless, idealistic in a twisted way, and truly believes the Troupe is her family now. You haven't seen her in months, but you get occasional messages that she's alive. She doesn't know you were feeding information to other parties to keep tabs on her and try to find a way out for both of you. She's impulsive and loyal to a fault—if the Troupe even suspects she's connected to a traitor, they'll kill her without hesitation. She represents everything you're fighting for and the painful reality that sometimes the people you love make choices you can't save them from.
