Character Introductions
Leo Kamishiro Chronos
He was the King of Chronos and a Grand Duke of the Galactic Empire.
He was the groom of the Galactic Empire Emperor, Veronica.
At the time, he held the rank of Honorary Major General of the Galactic Empire Space Marines, a title granted upon his ascension as the King of Chronos.
He was a Galactic Empire Person. While his exact race was unconfirmed, his features strongly suggested he was of Japanese descent. He was the third son of the lord of Planet Kamishiro, an agricultural world located near the heart of the Galactic Empire, though he shared a different mother than his older brothers.
In terms of RPG mechanics, he was a Jester, the weakest class of ESP user. However, he was also the hero who led the Officer Academy students to victory during the Zork War while commanding the legendary Veronica Fleet. He was widely recognized as the Empire's Strongest Pilot.
He ascended to the throne of Chronos after the central government collapsed following the Locust terror attack. The Chronosian people welcomed their new leader with overwhelming fervor, though in his own mind, he viewed the position as little more than being a hired manager for a convenience store.
While fundamentally a good-natured person, he was a master of sophistry due to his original aspirations of becoming a lawyer. His peerless combat prowess earned him the respect of the Ogre God Nation, while his strict adherence to order, law, and contracts made him a favorite among the Latarnians.
He frequently insisted he was a reincarnated person, though absolutely no one believed him. During his time at the Imperial Junior Academy, he once deserted a Special Forces winter mountain training camp he had been forced to attend as punishment. After descending the mountain in camouflage gear to trade meat and potatoes with a local farmer, he was mistaken for a UMA. The ensuing media frenzy led to a massive manhunt involving the entire Special Forces unit before he was finally captured. This incident made him a legend within certain military circles, and even before the Zork War, it was essentially decided that he would be scouted into the Special Forces upon graduation.
His favorite foods were potatoes, Musashino udon, and yakisoba. His cooking was at the level of a roadside station food court, characterized by heavily seasoned, bold flavors. He often cooked as a way to clear his head and organize his thoughts, typically while wearing a floral-print apron.
He had a notorious habit of engaging in bizarre, eccentric behavior, though these actions almost always proved to have significant meaning in hindsight. Because of this, those around him watched his antics with a mixture of warmth and resignation.
His primary ability allowed him to apply buffs with unlimited range to any group he subjectively perceived as allies. While such a skill was useless in a traditional RPG setting, it was considered a top-tier, game-breaking ability in the context of a simulation-style strategy game. He was not picky about his weaponry. His exclusive machine transitioned from the Evil Flower to the Massacre Night.
Galactic Empire Emperor Veronica
She was the Emperor of the Galactic Empire and the wife of the King of Chronos.
While the imperial bloodline was originally of Japanese descent, generations of imperial philandering had diluted the lineage until her specific ethnicity was no longer clear. She was a descendant of a clone of the Fairy, Imperial Princess Luna.
In the original work Leo remembered, she was a tragic figure destined to kill and be killed by the protagonist, Edge, due to their forbidden love. In that timeline, her death triggered a DLC scenario where the Fairy attempted to wipe out the Galactic Empire in a fit of rage. However, in the current reality, she showed no interest in Edge whatsoever after marrying Leo. She treated Leo’s claims of reincarnation as nothing more than her groom saying something foolish again.
She was completely won over by Leo’s cooking; he had truly captured her heart through her stomach. Among the former Officer Academy crowd, they were considered a perfectly matched couple. She often had to step in as a guardian figure whenever Leo caused trouble.
Born in the Inner Palace and raised on warships, she was a product of the imperial family’s history of inbreeding. Her mother, fearing she would be targeted by the previous emperor—a known lolicon—entrusted her upbringing to Piggett and the other Imperial Guard Knights. She had been kept in a state of larval fixation by the previous emperor’s decree, but this was reversed following her marriage and the tyrant's death. Though she was initially self-conscious about her small stature, she eventually grew to a height appropriate for her age.
She was entirely devoted to Leo, and they shared the same room and bed. She had a fondness for Teens' Love novels and purchased them in bulk. In that sense, Leo was her ideal groom. She eventually decided to simply stop trying to understand Leo’s constant eccentricities, choosing instead to "stall" her thinking whenever they occurred. As a commander, she led her fleet from the bridge of a warship to fight alongside him. She was the type of person who didn't sweat the small details.
Her preferred loungewear was a high-end designer hoodie. Because they were in the midst of a war, she and Leo had yet to hold a formal wedding ceremony. While she was personally impatient to get it over with, Leo’s rapid rise to kingship in a foreign nation caused the imperial high command to fall into endless, heated debates over the appropriate scale and prestige of the event.
Claire Kamishiro Chronos
She was the Queen of Chronos.
Within the Kingdom of Chronos, she was considered the first wife, though by the Galactic Empire’s standards, she was the second wife. Since she and Veronica genuinely didn't care about the technicalities, they allowed people to use whichever title they preferred.
Before the Zork War, she was the girl from the Officer Academy who had caught Leo’s eye. A "Jimiko" who wore glasses, she was the adopted daughter of a noble house, leaving her true lineage a mystery. She refused to use her family name to avoid any potential succession disputes with her brother, who was also an adoptee. She was likely of Japanese descent. Her adoptive parents ran a supermarket that doubled as a local products shop, which contributed to her talent for managing agricultural planets.
She was famous throughout Chronos, Magellan, and Ozen as a "Happy Dictator." In practice, she didn't so much rule with an iron fist as she did create the kind of private-life-depleted local administrations common in the Empire. Her overly serious nature often led her to establish collective farms and implement rigid infrastructure and work schedules.
Despite her literary-girl appearance, her hobby was pro-wrestling. She served as the president of the Pro-wrestling Research Club. She wasn't just a fan; she was a combatant. While she excelled in the ring, she also learned the business side of the sport under Master Tank, eventually showing great talent as a promoter and manager.
In the early stages of their journey, she handled the fire control systems for the two-seater Evil Flower. Later, she became the pilot of her own exclusive machine, God's Fist of the Light Wings. Her combat style was "Stegoro"—fighting entirely with her bare fists.
Veronica considered Claire to be a member of her family, and Claire viewed their relationship as being like sisters. She was one of the original heroines, though in the original work, she died at the very start of the story. While she was later revived as a clone, she felt a strong sense of disconnect, believing herself to be a different person than her predecessor. In that original timeline, she was the center of a brutal, soul-crushing gloom scenario. In the current world-line, Tatiana had inadvertently taken over that narrative role, though Tatiana’s status as a Jester prevented the story from becoming truly depressing.
Though she was legally married to Leo, their wedding ceremony had been delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing political turmoil in Chronos regarding the scale of the festivities. In the original work, she had been a dark-attribute esper, but since she survived as her original self in this timeline, she possessed no supernatural abilities. She was mentally stable and happy, gradually maturing into a refined woman.
Many of the boys from the Officer Academy, who had previously dismissed her as a plain "Jimiko," were now reportedly filled with regret over the "one that got away." However, they mostly just grumbled to themselves, knowing they could never hope to keep up with Leo’s antics. The girls at the academy viewed the boys' misery as well-deserved karma.
By nature, she was not particularly social, and her relationship with Leo remained a very proper and quiet courtship. When spending time with the group, she usually preferred to read a book in silence, though she often found herself scolding Leo for his never-ending stream of ridiculous behavior. Despite the headaches he caused, she was deeply satisfied with her marriage, feeling she had found a truly wonderful place to call home.
