"After people have gone through the greatest pain of their lives, then whether they like it or not, their hearts must be hardened and they must become stronger, or else, there wouldn't be any reason left for them to continue to exist."

If his life had always been just a straight, undisturbed line, would he be able to stand where he is now? Had it not been for the existences of those cannibalistic abominations, would his life be happier and brighter than it is now? Would it be better to remain innocent and blissfully ignorant of the true face of the cruel world around him? These are the questions that he had been questioning himself almost every night before he could actually close his eye and sleep. He had long stopped feeling any pain, nor remorse, since when he could have never remembered, but his past will continue to haunt him, for every single minute of his life, until the day he dies.

He grows up peacefully as a child, living in the 14th Ward of Tokyo, Japan. Those monstrosities called Ghouls are all around him, yet he remained ignorant of their existence. Yet, the tragedy struck when he turned 13. He returned home from school, only to be horrified by the gruesome scene before his eyes. For years later, he had never had a goodnight sleep just because of it.

They looked just like him, yet their eyes darkened grotesquely and the veins in them are unearthly red. And from behind, he saw his parents. They were impaled, and they were lying dead on the pool of their blood. Those monsters smirked and taunted him, as if they were hungry wolves. He couldn't be more scared. Then, come forward of a middle-aged 'man' who seemed to be their leader. As he strangled him, holding him up mid-air, the man said that because his parents failed to 'pay a debt they owned them', the result is what is happening to him right now.

He tried to struggled to break free as every breath was stripped away from his lung, but the one strangling him was too strong. For the first time in forever, he could truly feel what is real horror. Yet, when he gazed at his parents now are killed, the blaze of rage burned in him, deeper than ever. The moment he stared back at the one strangling him with anger flaring in his eyes, the 'man' sprouted something tentacle-like from his back. And before he even knows it, he couldn't felt his left arm and his right leg anymore. He was numbed with pain as he was tossed aside, and he didn't even have a drop of strength left to even scream. Soon, he felt like life is leaving him, as blood spilled endlessly from his mouth and wounds.

But, before his last moment of clarity, he saw another group of people wearing special officer suits charging in. He didn't know what happened next. He thought that it was the end for him. But when he regained his consciousness again, his eyes twitched by the sudden white lights. He found himself strapped in wires and IV tubes, with his new prosthetic metal arm and leg attached to where the lost ones were.

It turned out that he was lying in the operation room of the 14th Ward Branch Office of the CCG. The Investigator tasked with the duty of looking after him recounted to him of what had happened. It turned out that his parents somehow were mistaken as some other humans who owned a huge debt from a notorious ghoul gang called 'Scarlet Moon'. When they organized a raid on the ward to collect their debts, their family was unfortunately caught in. The CCG had managed to put an end to it and killed the gang leader, whose codename is 'Blood Hound', but the casualties were still huge. The Investigators are doing their best to fix the damage, but they can never give him back what he had lost.

After having recovered by taking strenuous rehabilitation exercises, he asked the CCG to be trained to become an Investigator and thus was transferred to an Academy, becoming one of the youngest trainees the CCG ever had. In the two years of training, he far surpasses most of his fellow trainees, thanks to his gifted strengths as well as an unbreakable will and immense hatred for the Ghouls. Graduated, he then became a full-fledged Ghoul Investigator.

It has been 8 years since then. He was given with an S+ rated koukaku quinque named Kusanagi, made from the kakuhou of Blood Hound himself by a top CCG researcher. He slowly made his way up in his career, becoming a figure to be looked up by his colleagues. He had contributed in exterminating many threats caused by ghoul organizations, with his greatest feat is managed to kill an SS rated ghoul by himself. He is known for the silent, yet merciless way whenever he finishes off a ghoul. He always kills with a straight and emotionless face, as if he doesn't show the least of pity for those fallen under his blade. Soon, he was promoted to Rank 1, which is a remarkable feat by someone of his age.

Some times later, during an investigator exchange program with the CDA in America, he was sorted to work with a Squad called Delta, and met his new partner. Feeling that he works better here with them, he asked to be completely transferred to CDA, and his wish was granted. Thus, he had become the leader of the Squad ever since then.

A man of with a mind of steel, he truly lives up to his position. Despite always putting up a stern expression, he would more often than not exuded a calm and composing aura, which makes everyone feels quite comfortable within his presence. Though he is strict and demands complete obedience and order from his team members, he cares for them greatly and would do just about anything for their sake, having come to see them as his new family. But when it comes to the ghouls, there will be no stopping him from taking them down one by one, if they dared to stand in his path.

The tale of Arata Matsuzaki is long and painful, and he is yet to see the end of this winding road. But for as long as he lives, his fight will go on.

“Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing
and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth.”



Antigone, the freedom fighter in the infamous Sophocles play. Her name speaks for herself -- literally meaning "worthy of one's parents" or "in place of one's parents". Holding the appearance of a mysterious young woman, she feeds on not only the dead, but also preys on the unwary living.

Antigone is an opportunist, arrogant, selfish, and downright lazy person, spending most of her time taking care of her appearance rather than being helpful. She presents a long series of bad habits such as pathological gambling, alcoholism, excessive consumption of cigarettes, reacting violently for no real reason, and forcing work on others. She usually is forgiven for each one thanks to her innocent face and beauty, which often allows her to get what she wants. These spells sometimes don't cast on others, whom she often will fight with. She behaves very provocatively and often tries to seduce men for her own benefit, but she claims to be afraid of feeling desired and is rarely seen romantically interested in someone.

She generally doesn't trust anyone who claims to be able to live without suffering and is used to never staying too long in the same place. Her parents were taken from her when she was young. She didn't know exactly when or how, but she spent her adolescence as a beggar and a thief, feeding off flesh when she could. Although she remains as strong and indolent as possible, in reality she hides a big emotional vulnerability and often proves to nourish a lot of sympathy and empathy for her others she is close with. Antigone bears startling resemblance to the wild animals that roam the mostly uninhabitable wastes of the outskirts. She is quick to attack and will undoubtedly retaliate tenfold when she or others in her care are provoked or harmed, for the most part disregarding consequences. Her tendency to live in the moment and to stab first, think later - even if she is stabbing in the dark - has burdened her "future self" with insurmountable messes to resolve. Her belief that any and all consequences should be dealt by "future Antigone" transcends mere recklessness and impulsivity, impeding upon her ability to prioritise and tell time.

Cursed she was. Her first memory was of flesh peeling from bones. Skin shrivelled into flecks of black coal, their remains bleeding through the smoke that grasped for the Heavens. Her lips had yet to learn to speak and she could do nothing but wait until she grew older through red seas and hollow eyes. As she grew, so did the words that spilled from her lips, whispering promises of death, and of battles won and lost.

The cursed spirits travelled beyond the lands -- Staying hidden in the shadows in fear of the humans. Her parents taught her at a young age how to hunt her prey. She could hear the hearts of her victims hammering their final beat, and hers continuing in her chest. She believed the humans to be responsible for her parents deaths, and would find herself killing in revenge rather then hunger. These days she replaced her self-loathing tendencies with an absolute lack of care, love of sex and defiant recklessness.

“Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull...”


Yoshua - the name his parents gave him - meaning the lord is my salvation,
quite a comical name when thinking about what he is...

Like the majority of ghouls, Yoshua was born and raised a "monster of the dark"- living in fear of the ghoul-killing organizations and suffering from the need to consume dead bodies to still the hunger. Growing up in one of the safer neighborhoods of "the big apple" with his 2 parents, he was adapting to the human lifestyle daytime and during night, he became one with the shadows to avoid any attention. I would say his upbringing was rather pleasant for a ghoul. He and his parents where peaceful monsters and did not kill anyone innocent - but rather eating the ones already dead. He made friends (both humans and ghouls) and he attended school like everybody else. This happy blonde boy was hiding in plain sight as to speak, and was in every way the ideal human in the eyes of the spectators .

Sadly, these memories are no longer a part of him - but that might be for the best. One night, 15 years old, he "woke up for the first time" with a blank memory. Amnesia. It was a chilly November night, passed midnight, and the red leaves where scattered over the cold asphalt ground mixed with splatter of fresh blood. Hands shaking, heart pounding and in his mouth - the taste of blood lingered like a sharp reminder of what he'd done. Raising those black bloodshot ghoul eyes - he witnessed the outcome of his "berserk" state of mind. 10 innocent lives had ended that night. They where teens and adults, maybe someones child and parent.. They had probably been heading home from the last night bus, when they just so happen to run into Yoshua being out of control. And he'd just killed them all cold blood. Awakening for "the first time", he did not know who he was- or WHAT he was. All he knew was that he'd killed innocent poeple - so he kept running for his life. Sirens echoing through the dark alleys and ghoul investigators chasing the culprit (him) with no luck...

A part of him wished that the GDA had taken him that day. Or most of all, had managed to stop him before those lives were spilled. Sadly they had not, and done was done. Yoshua was going to have those murders on his conscience for the rest of his life, and he did not deserve to keep on living. Not when all those people where lying dead on the ground. Ripped apart beyond recognition like they had been some kind of toy for a wild animal. Rather a monster, the ghoul named Yoshua Cain. But even tho he himself thought he deserved to die, there was that tingling sensations, his muscles going against his brain. And even tho he'd nothing left to live for, no memories, Yoshuas reflexes wanted to live. Call it a survival instinct. But when faced with this choice, the blonde boy knew his story was not finnished, he would still have a small part to play. So he had to stay away from the investigators. He had to live.

Later, he was found and "taken in" by his parents loyal friend, Isla Falkov. She was a widowed middle aged woman (ghoul) who gave him the resume of his life and told him who and more important : what he was. Apparently his parents had been killed earlier that evening - by investigators who had mistaken them for members of a ghoul gang. And the most logical explanation to his amnesia, is how his brain decided to protect him from the sadness by forgetting everything about his parents. You can not miss what you don't remember. Yosh never recovered his memory, and he did not feel any grief after the loss of his parents. After all, they where now strangers whom he'd never known. But he still decided to go on with his old life. And once again he adapted to the human life quicker than ever. Like his muscles remembered how they normally used to behave. Just continuing where he'd left off. Despite not having any memories, he was fitting in like a fish in the water. Being that happy face welcoming you to school every morning, or lending you a hand when you've fallen to the ground. He is just too close and visible to be noticed.

He moved in with Isla, graduated school and even managed to get a job at the schools library. Winter turned into spring, and spring turned into summer. Snow to buds to flowers. Life went on. The "nightbus bloodbath" is still a known story in New York , giving people nightmares.. And wondering over how just one ghoul could cause so much devastation. But who would ever imagine this charming blond boy is the one to blame? Inspectors gave up and started to go after the gangs instead. And the gangs on the other hand, started to recruit more people. Yoshua is no exception, constantly getting in trouble with gangs trying to win him over. He is "impartial" tho. Trying to live in peace with both humans and ghouls. Both gangs and investigators make him see red, and he is probably thinking that they are both equally to blame for his parents death.

Thanks to his experience with amnesia and the blindness one can feel when not knowing anything, Yoshua has come to treasure knowledge and understanding. He do try to share these traits with ghouls who are lost and on the wrong path. Knowledge is easier to give, but understanding is something you can show, and then the person him/herself must find it inside them. He do have this reckless habit of interfering when there is trouble -and ofc playing the role of the unwanted peacemaker. Wandering the streets, looking for ghouls (or investigators) misbehaving. He is not very stubborn tho, when done with what he wants, he is out with a simple "suit yourself". Often finding this an effective persuasion method.

As a rusult of his interferences and smaller fights with both ghouls and investigators, he is well known to both sides as "Chains" or "The boy with chains" referring to his rinkaku kagune, taking the form of chains decorated with thorns. His mask has the look of the hannibal mask, it's a half face mask with "bars" covering his mouth like some sort of muzzle.

As a person, he is a bit of an actor. Since he is good at reading people, he often ends up behaving in the way pleasing to the counterpart, making him very likeable and manipulative. Who would accuse this blonde charming boy of being a ghoul? He is just too sweet. However, if his "act/falseness" ever gets discovered - he drops it in a millisecond and suddenly becomes this cold, mean and terrible person. This is the Yoshua you don't want to meet. Still, he's not on anyone's side. Working at the library and helping out Mrs Falkov. And he don't want any trouble - he wants peace.

But what if he would regain his memories and the feelings for his parents? Would he start hating the ghoul investigators (GDA) even more? And try to get revenge? Would it cause him to go berserk again? Would he join a ghoul gang? Or would he continue fighting for peace?
