Anime 2030 NPC File – Staff of OEAOE

The following character profile images are taken from various different anime shows. The info here is not intended to accurately reflect the characters as they are in the shows, but rather this page is about who the NPCs are this particular RPG

• Principle Ozen “will glare at you” Yabunden

PHDs in History, Psychology, Sociology and “intimidation”

He is an expert with people and has built a top notch staff. He has worked as teacher at both university and high school levels. He may not have the power to read minds but his observational skills are so great he sees the truth about people with alarming ease. 

He is a major contributor to the financing of the school. His fortune seems to be based on real wealth not linked to stocks or business assets. A rather mysterious man, he often goes on research trips to Europe. One of the more crazy rumors about him is that he also runs a guild of magic using mercenaries. 

• Vice Principle Yuri “don’t miss the deadline” Omina

 A skilled administrator, she can juggle a million things at once. Although she often looks rundown she is a workaholic and has no idea what to do with free time. From an average family she believes strongly in the school’s mandate; ‘to produce better people’, not just to drill the basics of education into them.

 Her greatest strength is her will power and determination to do the right thing.

• Professor Erzo “monotone” Takashi

 Chief of the history department. His students often joke that he is old enough to have lived through everything he teaches. The truth is they are right, but that is only half the story. He is mysterious in that he is never seen outside the class room. He never attends social functions. He never answers personal questions. He generally ignores anything students do, unless they ask questions directly related to his lectures.  

• Caption Jack “try to put yourself in their shoos” Karatomi

Chief of the social studies department. He has a long list of occupations and has been around the world more than a few times. His more colorful experiences include being a rebel freedom fighter in America and a pirate in the Pacific. Not surprisingly, he tells students to go out and live life to its fullest, because experience is the best teacher. 

• Miss Yukari “don’t start with me” Tanizaki

Chief of the linguistics section. She is bubbly and full of energy, a favorite teacher of many students, although she is not very dedicated or even focused on her job. She is competent in two dozen foreign languages. She often goes on rants about seemingly pointless things. She frequently is hung over on Monday morning.

• Mr. Kimura “that’s right bend over” Yashido

Chief of the literature section, he is a master poet and knowledgeable in the classics of many nations. Unfortunately he is often assumed to be a total pervert. A rather odd man to say the lest, he spends his free time at school writing satirical or obscene poems.

• Prof. Ario “you can’t be original, but you can try” Yaharo

 Chief of the philosophy department. He is an expert on the non-mystical teachings of all the world’s great thinkers. A very bright and cynical man; he occasionally laments how the world has so few philosopher kings and so many morons with missiles.

• Father Erza “it helps to believe in something” Scarlet

A fully ordained Christian priest; he is head of the school’s religious studies section. Not a hard line traditionalist at all, he is knowledgeable in all belief systems and quite tolerant of them. Some students mistakenly believe him to be agnostic. 

• Professor Tahagi “fear is good for you” Snape

Director of the mythology department. ‘Teacher of the dark arts.’ His students sometimes say. He knows a great deal about magic and witch craft, and acts as if he believes they are real. Of course his class is not about spell casting, but about how beliefs in it have affected people and still do today.

• Professor Kevin “it’s all about steam” Arkwright

Chief of the physical science department. A former teacher in England, from a noble family, he is an expert on thermal physics. His hobby is steam engines and he will talk about them a lot. ‘Even a nuclear reactor is really just a big steam turbine.’ A very serious man of science, he demands that his students show good logic in their work. 

• Miss Shizuka “nature is complicated” Nekonome

Chief of the biology section. She is often distracted and easily led off topic. On the other hand she is a brilliant genetics engineer with a passion for spending time out in nature. She will frequently take her class on field trips; to fields, forests and mountains. Most of her students are shocked to learn that she is a skilled survivalist.

• Doctor “don’t touch that yet” Watt

Assistant director of the physical science department. He is a very odd fellow, often stepping out of class for a few minutes and returning in different clothes. Although he is an expert in a wide range of sciences, filling in for any teacher who may be absent, his specialty is astronomy. He follows the space programs of all nations very closely. Rumor has it that he is one of the original scientists on the Macross Project.

• Sensei Kento “1001011010011101” Sony

 Chief of the Information Technology department. He is a computer wizard who turned down high paying corporate work to become a teacher, because its more fun to show kids how to hack the system. Of course he does not promote cyber crime, that’s just his image. He is really a very friendly and easy going teacher always having fun with his students.

• Doctor Hitomi “image is everything” Ishigami

Director of the art department. She is Japanese, although she does not look it. A master at a wide range of visual arts, she got her PHD in Paris working on cosmetics and makeup. Although she puts on a polite and cheerful front, she is really quite serious about her work and demands he students do their best. She is also advisor to the theater club.

• Prof. Armando “paint with soul not with brush” De’Angelo 

Deputy art director. His is Italian, charming and temperamental. Brilliant at both traditional painting methods and digital art, he does not usually take his job too seriously. ‘Anyone can have fun with art, but only a few have the passion to be real artists.’ If he thinks a student has that spark he will do whatever he can to make them realize it. 

• Miss Sawako “one more time” Yamanaka

Chief of the music department, she specializes in modern music. A very nice woman most people find it hard to believe she was the star of Death Devil; a hard rock band she started in her high school days.  She is always in demand as advisor to the music clubs.

• Professor Lee “listen very carefully” Ching

 Deputy of the music department, he specializes in classical music. A very polite man, who demands perfection; his students often hate him, but later value his teachings. He is fond of telling how he won a fiddle duel with the devil when we went to visit Vienna. If you enter his class with out a good knowledge of the classic European composers, heaven help you.

• Coach Togo “do it or else” Bronson

Chief of the sports department. If you ever had nightmares about a mean gym teacher, they were about him. He believes in pushing students till they drop, kicking them and yelling for them to get up and keep going. As most students guess, he is a retired army drill sergeant. He is also the coach for the soccer and basketball teams. 

• Miss Minamo “do your best” Kurosawa

Deputy sports director. She is friendly and down to earth. She encourages her students but does not push them. She is the gym teacher people hope they get. She is also the baseball and swimming coach. At sports festivals her all star team faces off with that of Coach Togo, in a down and dirty competition. 

• Kendo Sensei Cat Meowara

Chief weapons instructor for blades. He is a 5ft tall talking cat, or so it seems. He always attends class in his cat suit, which appears amazingly genuine. Thus it is a favorite game for students to try and get a look at his real face. A skilled unarmed fighter and master of the sword he is a man of few words. He forces students to meditate and learn bushido in addition to blade training.

• Miss Siam “don’t ask about the arm” Shaya

 She is chief weapons instructor for firearms. A first generation genetically enhanced ‘super soldier’, she retired to peruse a less bloody and more meaningful career. Although she is qualified to teach Middle East social studies, few people sign up for that class.

• Prof. Tenju “I know it’s a drag but you have to do it” Bunshichi

He is chief of the ‘shops’ elective department, and acts as advisor to various combat clubs. He is lazy to the extreme, but bright enough to get his work done. A skilled mechanic and wood worker, he is best known for his younger days as an MMA fighter. Although not formally trained in any martial arts he was considered one of the nations most dangerous ‘tough guys’.

• Doctor Okuto “rest here for a moment” Notari

Chief of the medical staff. He does not care what grades students get, he is there to see that they survive their school days, with mind and body healthy. Although he is young, he is a fully qualified surgeon and psychologist.

• Mr. Taminori “don’t brake that” Sendo

Chief of the maintenance department. He was actually one of the workers who built the school. Few people can say they love this place more than him. So please students don’t make his life miserable by destroying stuff.
