Welcome to Recommending Characters! In this section of the blog, I’ll be making an overview of a certain character from one of the franchises I’m into once every two weeks, as well as highlighting their best and most important moments in canon, in hopes that it’ll make the readers interested both in the character and in the game itself!

Long time no HeliosR! Well, it hasn’t even been that long, but since a lot of things have been happening in its Main Story with the release of the latest entry, Chapter 14, it feels like it’s been a while since I last wrote anything for the franchise. I suppose that’s what happens when the franchises aren’t evenly spread in the schedule… 

Today, I’m introducing a new sector with the character featured in this entry: Akira Otori! He’s one of the newest rookies in the South Sector, and has a lot of passion and energy for the profession. However, things haven’t always been like that for him, which is more than evident when you look at his shared past with Will and Ren, his childhood friend and cousin, respectively (together, they’re also called ‘Rainbow Trio’). But before getting to the reason why, let’s take a look at his profile first!

Welcome to My Favorite Seasonal Events! In this section of the blog, I’ll be making a Top 3 of events centered around a certain season or holiday across all the mobages I’ve read stories from, shortly explaining their plot and the reasons why I like them.

Once again, it’s been a while since Halloween, but I’m finally back with another entry of the series, as Christmas is today… or rather, that’s what I would have said, but I sadly had to delay the entry as I didn’t have much time to write during the first half of the break, so here I am again instead on New Year’s Eve! Contrary to this, most games tend to hold their Christmas events a little early or during the same week, though, rather than during or after it, so most of them have already passed and moved on to the New Years events, so it’s time to cover the ones that I’ve liked the most not just through this year, but in general!

⚠️ This entry mentions/talks about the following topics that might be trigger for some: suicide.

It’s been quite a while since I last covered a character from a series that’s not regularly featured, but it’s finally time to tackle Mika Kagehira, from Ensemble Stars!, a game that I’ve mentioned in both entries of My Favorite Seasonal Events (both times so far taking the top spot, no less) but that had yet to make its way into Recommending Characters! Mika is a member of the unit Valkyrie, which was introduced in 2016, a year after Enstars’ launch, and boy did they come in strong… Let’s check his profile out!

It’s been a while since I last posted a character that wasn’t for Project SEKAI, but finally another game gets the spotlight again, and it’s turn for Nico, the character that came out victorious in the HeliosR section of the latest poll by the luck of the draw, as there was a tie between, well, every voted candidate!

Added to the game less than a year ago, Nico is a member of the 12th Robins, a generation of heroes at HELIOS who were all led by the same mentor, Robin Goodweather, before moving on to another job. In Nico’s case, he entered the Anti-Eclipse Unit after passing an exam, like most of his teammates except Sage, but despite all their years together, there used to be a time in which he was more distant…

The character I will be tackling in today's entry is Rui Kamishiro, from Project SEKAI! I thought that Gray and Dino (my first and second favorite characters in HeliosR respectively) being also the first characters to be featured in the blog was a fun coincidence, but for two characters of the same game and unit to be featured back-to-back? Now that’s even wilder! Either way, Rui is also one of my favorite characters in Project SEKAi, as well as the rightful winner of this game’s section in the latest poll, so I was looking forward to writing for him!

Rui Kamishiro is one of the members of the theater troupe Wonderlands x Showtime, in charge of the Wonder stage along with his tropemates, Tsukasa, Emu, Nene, as well as their stage director. Before joining the group, however, he’d been putting on shows on the street on his own, using robots of other trinkets, made all by himself, which caught the other members’ attention. However, there was a certain reason why Rui put on shows alone that WxS might not catch on until much later… But that’s all I’ll say for now until we go over his profile!

October’s first entry, as well as HeliosR’s second character feature in this blog is none other than Dino Albani, winner of the latest poll! Coincidentally, Dino is my second favorite character right behind Gray, featured all the way back in August, so finding out the results was a pleasant surprise for me! 

Dino Albani is one of West Sector’s mentors, who joined them later in the story due to certain circumstances, and who in turn wasn’t present since the very beginning of the game, being added to the character roster a few months after its release. Along with Brad and Keith, he was once a member of the 10th generation of rookies in a group led by Jay, as well as 11th generation’s Oscar and Asch’s mentor shortly after. However, after moving to the notorious Anti-Eclipse unit, something happened that changed his fate forever… Without teasing anything else, let’s move over to his profile!

Today it’s time to finally introduce the second Mahoyaku character in this series, as well as the most voted character on August’s poll: Nero! Though not as much as Faust, Nero is also one of the characters I like the most in this game, being from Eastern Country (my favorite country), so I’m very glad I got to write for him (and on his birthday month, too!). If you keep up with the game’s development, you’ll probably know that Mahoyaku has just finished with the second part of its Main Story, after a year and a half in distribution, so I also really wanted to write something for one of its characters in commemoration.

Owner of a restaurant in Eastern Country, Nero’s wishes for a peaceful life after a more than complicated past were interrupted when summoned as a Sage’s wizard after one of the most disastrous Great Calamities attacks in wizard history. Nonetheless, despite his reluctance to teamwork, he’s always more than willing to prepare meals for the people living in the Wizard Manor, with the exception of a certain Northern wizard he might already be familiar with… But I won’t spoil anything more yet, so let’s dive into his profile overview!

The character I’ve decided to focus on today is Gray Reverse, from Helios Rising Heroes. Unlike Promise of Wizard, featured in the last entry, HeliosR is a game I’ve gotten into recently, and although I’ve read most of the events as of writing this, I’m not as confident on my knowledge of it, so I hope it’s still a good read regardless!

Gray Reverse is a 13th generation rookie from the East Sector, as well as the oldest member from said generation at 25 years old as a result of him failing the tryouts to become a hero twice in the past. His unusual hobbies (gaming, anime, collecting figurines, etc) and anxious personality made him an easy target for bullies during his time at the Helios Academy (including Asch, one of his current mentors), which only made him more closed off, but he’s aiming to become a hero to overcome his weak self. However, it seems like him passing the tryouts this time wasn’t completely due to his own abilities… But before digging further into it, let’s start with a general overview of his character!

To start off this series of posts, I decided to go for my all-time favorite character so as to ease into the workflow better, who is none other than Faust, from the game Promise of Wizard (also known as ‘Mahoyaku’, for short)!

Faust is a curseworker from Eastern Country, who has been living isolated from the rest of the world for the past 400 years before getting summoned as a Sage’s Wizard. His gloomy demeanor is somewhat off-putting for others at first, but his status as the teacher of the Eastern Country and his leadership skills foreshadow an unexpected past… Without further ado, let’s go into his in-game profile and some general characteristics!
