Velonix Orako
"Strangely enough, when you get older, the things you didn't understand when you were a child... start to make sense. 'When this happened, I should have done that.' 'When that happened, I should have said this.' Those types of things. You start to understand, rather than regret. It may be closer to repentance. So it may be that I do want to repent and erase the ignorant self from my childhood. Maybe that's what they mean when they say adults are selfish."

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ She was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder at a very young age, around five years old, and her other persona refers to herself as 'Paxton', with her nickname being 'Phoenix'. Because of this, she takes medication on a daily basis to keep her other persona under control, and in addition to the medicine she meditates. The only people who know about it are her doctors, parents, and siblings.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Vel can be a bit ... Well ... How do we say this nicely ... Slow sometimes. While she is an undeniable genius in most areas, save for a few subjects involving physical activity, she's quite naive. Sexual jokes fall flat on her and no matter how much explaining is done, she'll never understand it. In addition, her 'slow' nature causes her to be quite clumsy.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Velonix is extremely messy and her family are actually often quite afraid to even open the door for her room. It's come to be quite the fire hazard.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Velonix is, as expected, far more calm than the rest of her family and friends, especially for someone belonging to one of the largest Yakuza's in Germany and Japan. Vel tends to be the motherly type and is often clucking over her friends like a mother hen.
"I was diagnosed with DID when I was little, but the only people who know about it are my parents, siblings, and doctors. No one in the Club knows, and I don't plan on allowing them to ever find out about it. If they did ... They would never look at me in the same way."

| Personality |
✔ Quiet ✔ Reliable ✔ Gentle
✔ Sweet ✔ Protective ✔ Kind
✔ Giving ✔ Kind ✔ Talented
✔ Independent ✔ Honest ✔ Helpful
One would think that as the daughter of the Head of a large-scale Yakuza, Velonix would be a hard person to get along with. However, this isn't quite the case. Instead, Velonix is one of the easiest people to speak to and be around. While she's extremely quiet, that's simply because she would rather observe those around her before giving an input. She thinks things through thoroughly before stating an opinion, and when she makes her mind up on said opinion, it can be very difficult to sway her. She is very reliable when it comes to following through with tasks that are asked of her, and is almost always willing to help anyone who requests such from her. Her helpfulness stems from her kind and giving nature, which is something she inherited from her grandmother, who she's quite close to. Her grandmother was a large influence on her immense honesty, for Velonix refuses to tell a lie, no matter what the cost of doing so. In fact, one could say that she is honest to a fault. However, not a single person who actually knows her can say that she's anything but a good-hearted, geniune human being who is one of the most reliable and amazing friends to have around. She would never tell a secret, and is extremely protective of those she cares about.
✘ Clumsy ✘ Naive ✘ Emotional
✘ Sensitive ✘ Competitive ✘ Stubborn
✘ Insecure ✘ Private ✘ Impatient
✘ Anxious ✘ Hesitant ✘ Procrastinator
Although Velonix has an undeniably good list of positive qualities, there is always room for improvement, no matter who the person is. One of the major negative qualities she has stems from her naivity. One would think that with her father being the Head of the Orako Clan, she would understand a lot more than she actually does. That isn't to say she's stupid - quite the contrary, actually - but with certain subjects, things simply fall flat on her. If one were to make a sexual joke or innuendo towards her, she would look at the person with the most dumbfounded expression on her face. In addition to her naivity, she's extremely clumsy and has lost track of how many times a day she drops things or face dives into the floor.
Velonix is an extremely emotional and sensitive person. She tends to take things to heart and is very hard to have a teasing relationship with. Many insults, whether they were made in a joking manner or not, hurt her feelings to the point of her crying. Due to this, she's very in tune with her feelings and wears her heart on her sleeve, which isn't necessarily always a bad thing.
Growing up in the heart of a yakuza, Velonix became quite the competitive spirit. She very rarely backs down from a challenge, and will actually rise up to one when it's given to her. Her stubborness helps to play a role in her successes, because even when she feels hurt - whether physically or emotionally - she refuses to step away and allow herself to give up and lose. Despite all this, however, she tends to put off doing quite a bit, and is often seen scrambling at the very last minute to do small homework assignments and menial tasks that were asked of her. She is often impatient when doing tasks, however, and tends to rush through doing them.
Velonix is a very private person, and for a very good reason. She believes that if anyone were to discover her DID {Dissociative Identity Disorder} they would think differently of her. Due to this she is extremely insecure about herself, often thinking that people hate her or don't want her around. This leads her to be extremely hesitant towards approaching new people or those that she feels don't like her, and in fact suffers from anxiety attacks due to this.
"I might be quiet and shy, but when I get around the right people, I really blossom into a beautiful flower."
Paxton/Phoenix
✔ Outspoken ✔ Reliant ✔ Alert
✔ Observant ✔ Protective ✔ Humorous
✔ Courageous ✔ Determined ✔ Talented
✔ Independent ✔ Resilient ✔ Quiet
As with Velonix, Paxton has good qualities in addition to her bad ones. She is very outspoken, which can be a pro or a con, depending on the circumstances, and is blunt almost to a fault. She won't hold back when stating her opinion, whether it was asked for or not, and can often come off as rude while saying it. However, she's extremely quiet, choosing to sit back and observe events and personalities surrounding her instead of joining in and allowing herself to be misconstrued by those who present themselves falsely. She is a very determined young woman who loves to get her way, but is very protective of the few people or things that she's come to love. She'll use her unending courage to go to the other side of the world and back for her loved ones, and despite her independent nature, she relies on those she cares about to get her through the day emotionally. She is extremely resilient in her goals, pushing herself to the very brinks of her limits to achieve them, and is extremely talented in many fields due to this. Despite everything, though, Paxton is quite the joker, and often thinks of the most hilarious of jokes to tell.
✘ Agressive ✘ Reactive ✘ Uncooperative
✘ Disobedient ✘ Headstrong
✘ Sarcastic ✘ Untrustworthy ✘ Two-faced
✘ Conceited ✘ Cold ✘ Irresponnsible
✘ Cocky ✘ Rough ✘ Heart of Stone
Despite her positive qualities, Paxton has quite a good list of negative ones, too. Paxton is the alter-ego of Velonix, so instead of the sweet girl that many people see, when Paxton comes out to play, she comes out to play. She's extremely aggressive and uncooperative, and when she doesn't like somebody, she goes out of her way to make their life a living Hell. She's quite the bully to anyone who gets on her bad side, and will do everything in her power to ruin their lives. She's very disobedient, much to her parents' chagrin, and refuses to listen to anyone except her grandmother. With a heart made of ice, she will tell any secret that is trusted to her, and is extremely two-faced about many things, including her relationships with people. She may act as though she likes you on the outside, but behind your back she could be talking up a shit-storm of negative things. Paxton is rough and reactive to anything and everything, and is viewed to be a ticking time-bomb that, once she destructs, will be a force to be reckoned with.

| History |
Velonix's past is quite the interesting one - and one that actually started before she was even born. Now, one may wonder how that is possible. There's a simple explanation.
It all began with a young man who goes by the name of Uya Orako. Born the only son of the Head of the Orako Clan, he was the immediate successor to the 'throne', for lack of a better word, of the Yakuza that ran - and still runs today - most of Japan. Uya was an uncontrollable spit-fire as a child, and grew to be exactly the same as an adult. Because of this, he often went on small excursions out of the country, despite his parents' arguments.
On one such excursion, in Rothenburg, Germany, he met a young woman by the name of Jacenta. Jacenta was born to a humble farm family, with two younger siblings, and grew up with the manual labor that comes with being the eldest daughter of a farmer. Because of this, she attracted the attention of Uya, who had always had a unique attention for young women who weren't afraid to get their hands dirty.
One thing led to another, and during that excursion Velonix was conceived. Uya left to return to Japan, promising to come back to Germany to bring Jacenta back to Japan with him to introduce him to his parents. Needless to say, his parents weren't all to pleased that Uya had found his love in another country of different beginnings. Jacenta, however, was more than happy to join the family - despite their past in crime - and held no animosity towards the fact that it was, indeed, a Yakuza.
Within a month, however, Jacenta realized she was pregnant. It was a quick courtship and wedding between her and Uya, but they were more than happy, for they held a deep and unbreakable love for one another. When Velonix was born, she was the light of their lives and they doted upon her as though she were the only person who existed to be doted upon.
Velonix grew up fairly normal for the daughter and granddaughter of the Heads of the Orako Clan. While she maintained a bit of girlishness due to her mother's push and pull, she still had quite a bit of adventure with the Yakuza. She was well-versed in the art of fighting and isn't afraid to protect herself because of this.
When the twins were born, Velonix was more than ecstatic to have a younger brother and sister to play with and watch out for. She spent the next few years helping her parents raise her baby siblings, and she grew to be extremely close to her family and those within the Yakuza who they deemed to be family, whether through blood relation or not.
While Velonix was well-versed in the world of the Yakuza Clan, that doesn't necessarily mean that she witnessed a lot of violence. Due to this, it was quite a shock when she witnessed her first murder.
Her father and mother had taken her and her siblings, who were one at the time, out on a small family excursion. They spent the day enjoying each other's companies, visiting the zoo, beach, park, and more. At the very end of the day, however, everything came to a stand-still. It turns out that a rival gang had been watching and following them throughout the day, planning to launch an attack, seeing as her father was the Head of the Orako Clan. When they launched the attack it was after dark and they were all walking home, Velonix holding her mother's hand while her father pushed the double stroller containing her toddler siblings.
The men sprung up out of nowhere, appearing from bushes, trees, and alleyways. Vel found herself ripped away from her mother, and although she clung to her hand in sheer desperation, it was to no avail and she was torn from her family. It seemed that Velonix was the only one they were targeting, however, for the cowards retreated once they had her in their grasp.
The next few days were horrible for her. Not only did they lock her away in a small, desolate room that housed only a worn-out mattress and a bucket, but they also spent those few days inventing new ways to torture the little girl. They were clearly holding her for ransom, for never once did they attempt to actually kill her, but they did anything ranging from burning her to water-logging her. During this time, something inside of her slowly changed, and at the end of those few days, when her father had finally tracked down their location, she snapped.
Her snap occurred when she witnessed her father killing one of the men in cold blood by shooting him once directly in the forehead. Her parents and the Orako Clan Members who were present refuse even to this day to tell her what had happened, but in that moment, she blacked out. When she awoke, she was coated in blood from head-to-toe, two large knives clutched in her clenched hands and dripping with the warm, red liquid. Three dead bodies lay around the little girl, who simply looked up at her horrified father and asked if she could go home now. The next few years were spent in and out of doctor's offices, all of whom attempted to help in controlling the other side of her that wreaked havoc and mayhem when released. She was, however, immediately diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder at the young age of five, and was placed on heavy medications and sentenced to weekly visits to a psychiatrist.
Vel didn't allow her DID to define her, however. Excelling in school, she enjoyed attending classes and learning new things. Her teachers often commented to her parents about how well-mannered and behaved she was, and how intelligent she was for such a young girl. She was viewed to be very bright by adults, and respected her elders almost to a fault.
However, not everything was filled with sparkles and rainbows. When she entered middle school, that was when the bullying began. It started out as little, petty things - people putting gum in her books, tugging her hair, and hiding her homework when she wasn't looking. Then, it escalated. It stepped up to people spreading rumors and speaking badly about her behind her back. After that, it took the next step up to harassment. She quickly lost all of her friends and found herself to be abandoned and alone, because no one wanted to be friends with the leper daughter of a mafia head. The bullies would not only hide her things, but they would often corner her in the hallways, bathrooms, locker rooms, and classrooms. They would lash out insults and laugh at her tears, throwing food and dousing her in milk.
It wasn't until high school that the bullying subsided. When she was asked to join the Host Club, she hesitated to accept the offer, believing herself to be inadequate to become something so amazing and elegant. After quite a bit of persuading from the President of the Club, she agreed to try it out and see how she felt before making a final decision.
This was one year ago, and so far, she's been happier than ever before. The bullying has all but disappeared - the bullies grew too afraid of her fellow Club members to try anything - and she's found herself with more friends than she can count.
"My past is not what defines me - and I mean me, as in myself and as in a person or a human being. I am who I am whether I allowed my past to shape my current self or not. But my past isn't me - I'm me."
