High School DxD: Of Kings and Pawns/Original Characters

The following is a list of original characters created for the story High School DxD: Of Kings and Pawns.

The Kasai Family
Ai Kasai- The eldest child of the Kasai family. Ai is a beautiful and caring woman who, more often than not, bears a smile on her face. Her vibrant emotions can be described with one word; contagious. This goes both ways, however, as she can kill the mood with her sadness as well as lighten up a grim scenario with her joyous air. Ai harbors a strong wish to bring joy to others; disregarding herself if need be. She is often seen alongside her brother, Daisuke Kasai. Shortly after meeting with the Perverted Trio, Ai promptly befriended them to the surprise of onlookers; chalking their perversity up to hormonal imbalances. She doesn't seem to harbor a single mean bone in her body, always apologizing if she feels she had insulted someone. This trait was what made Issei so keen on protecting her and her family.

Daisuke Kasai- The second eldest child of the Kasai family. Daisuke is a handsome yet nervous gentleman who always seems to freeze up when confronted by women. While he conveys a refined demeanor when nervous, he panics internally at the thought of every possible way the situation could go south. Despite this, he harbors envy for perverted individuals such as the Perverted Trio due to their confidence when around women. This is displayed when he first met the trio; treating them like second-rate human beings and constantly referring to them as "Lechers." This demeanor changed, however, when he and the ORC had a less than pleasant conversation; causing him to drop the high-and-mighty act. He has developed a rather prominent fear of Akeno, who finds joy in teasing him. He is also a fairly good cook, drawing the intrigue of Sona Sitri; who wishes to learn from him.

Haru Kasai- The patriarch of the Kasai family. Haru is a brutish looking man who, despite looking as if he couldn't solve basic algebra, is stated to be very business minded and is shown to be protective of the family's money. Despite this slightly stingy trait, he is a hospitable man who can never really remember the names of anyone outside his family. He is also a rather brave individual, having ran out with Ryuusuke to confront Issei in his Scale Mail; who he assumed to be some sort of monster.

Miu Kasai- The matriarch of the Kasai family. Miu is a rather stark contrast to her husband; being rather elegant and refined in appearance. She harbors a fondness of lions as seen by the expensive figurines throughout her home. She is stated to be overly emotional, but has not displayed that trait as of yet. Despite this claim, she is shown to be just as hospitable as her husband. Miu showed interest when Rias came to visit, mistaking her for Akeno; who she believed had feelings towards Daisuke and wanted to try to hook her up with him.

Ran Kasai- The youngest of the Kasai family alongside her twin brother, Ren Kasai. Ran is a stark contrast to her twin, being rather mature and intelligent for a child her age. She has often been seen by Ren's side and with an older member in her family. She is known to criticize Akeno for her teasing of Daisuke and running behind Ai for protection. Despite this, she is not to be underestimated when wielding a stick as seen when she had Tomoe and Reya hiding behind rocks as she pelted them with stick after stick.

Ren Kasai- The youngest of the Kasai family alongside his twin sister, Ran Kasai. Ren, unlike Ran, is rather haphazard and simple as seen when he carelessly talked about family secrets in a public location. He is often seen by Ran's side, but is prone to moving further away from his siblings than Ran is. He is described by his mother as adventurous and good with animals by his twin sister. Ren's child-like innocence prevents him from thinking badly of others, thus making him more tolerable that Ran in some regards. He is just a slight handful to watch over, however.

Ryuusuke Akahoshi- Ryuusuke is the servant and bodyguard of the Kasai family. He is a stark contrast to the otherwise beautiful and vibrant family members; being rather dull and lifeless in appearance. Ryuusuke has been shown to be emotionless even in the face of a Scale Mail wielding Issei and a winged Akeno; who he believed where intending to kill him. Ryuusuke is, over all, an extreme murder hobo with a strong loyalty to the Kasai family; going as far as to saying his existence is to serve and protect them.
