Maneki, as requested by 🎭🦊M4N3K1|B0K-S4~🔪💥, is hereeeee YIPPEE!! I have loved this little silly ever since I first saw them on the character sheet for the cast of JCC, like, 5-6 months ago- Anygays, safe to say that this lil guy is a certified favorite (I have too many favorites-...) Intro: Maneki is the supporting Japanese "Tongue-tied Enigma" character in Studio Investigrave's current newest game, Jackpot Crash Course. JCC is a casino-themed visual novel based around a game show that has criminals compete in high-stake games, testing contestants luck and strategy. Whoever is the last to be eliminated wins the season and is pardoned from their crimes. Appearance: Maneki's clothing choice is mainly Japanese styled. He wears a beige vest with long black sleeves, layered by a short red-and-white, pattern-trimmed cape. They have golden bells attached to their belt at the waist, aswell as black suspenders. His pants and boots are a very dark almond brown. Additionally, he sports a white and red cat mask positioned at his right temple, alongside multiple Japanese hair ornaments. They have a black and red scarf with a floral print on the front. His short fluffy dark brown hair has orange tips and red cat whiskers are painted on his face. He is always seen holding a black fan he uses to communicate with, since his thyroids are damaged. They are 24 years old. Personality: Maneki is a mysterious figure, seen lurking about in the shadows of others. They only communicate with writings on drawings on the back of their fan. Despite his quiet avoidant nature, he's always willing to step in when one requires assistance and enjoys to banter. When he's upset or dislikes a person, he covers his face with his mask and refuses to write on the fan. Headcanons: Maneki has a WHOLE COLLECTION of maneki neko figurines in his room and never leaves anywhere without one handy in a pocket or smt. Enjoy my critters! <3
