Character Name: Sakaguchi Ango. Canon: Bungou to Alchemist.
About: In canon, Ango is a cynical novelist who was one of the founding members of the "decadent" literary movement in post-WWII Japan. He and all of his dead novelist buddies are magically summoned into a dumb gacha game/anime where the spirits of classic literature's most dysfunctional writers are made to fight monsters (when they're not slacking off or arguing with each other). It's basically Fate/Grand Order, but you collect middle-aged amphetamine addicts with arts degrees. Anime was a mistake. Despite his tough guy looks and claims of being "Japan's greatest delinquent," Ango ends up becoming the Team Mom of the crew.
In BD, he's a moderately famous writer who awakens as a novice Dreamer after the death of a close friend. With his personal life in shambles and his rent past due, Ango arrives in Yumemigaoka looking for free food and a place to crash (and maybe even a sense of purpose). He's skeptical of the Dreamer Union, seeing it as an organization that exploits idealistic young people and uses them to deal with society's mental health issues. Ango's Dreamer aesthetic is ninja-inspired and he specializes in close-range physical attacks, so he's armed with a pair of daggers for times when just punching the collective unconscious in the face doesn't get the job done. His special ability is being able to make a surprisingly decent meal out of whatever he finds in the kitchen.
He's been living in Tokyo up until now, but other characters might have heard of him. His short stories have made it into the contemporary literature curriculum, which he finds deeply embarrassing. Anything you have to read in school is trash.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: Short Term: Since Ango is a chronically unemployed failed adult, his first priority is finding someplace to live (or even just an unlocked supply closet at the Dreamer Union where he can camp until he finds someone to sponge off of). He's a novice Dreamer, so he's going to be figuring out his powers too. Ango is very easygoing, and at first he's not going to take this whole magical anime hero thing seriously at all. Dressing up in a costume and fighting dream monsters is only like the third weirdest thing he's done for money. Long Term: Ango doesn't make long term plans. Ango is a chaos gremlin who careens from one self-made crisis to the next.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: I'd love for him to hang out with some other jaded oyajis/aunties, or mentor some delinquent teens! He's a terrible influence on the youth.
