Kyozo "The King" Iwazaki APPEARANCE: Japanese young college student, 19 years old, short black hair, trim build. He wears a black t-shirt with the words "Virtual Legend" emblazoned on the back. BACKGROUND/PERSONALITY: The King is one of the best Virtual MEKTON players ever. He was a junior in high school when Virtual MEKTON first came out and quickly became known as one of the best in the world. Now in college he plays Virtual MEKTON just enough to keep up his skills (and his legend!); he spends most of his time either studying, in class, or with his wife Kelly and their four month old daughter Nozomi. ------------------------------------------------------ Kelly Iwazaki (the Black Lady) APPEARANCE: An American transfer student, 19 years old, shoulder- length red hair and jade-green eyes. She often wears a cream- colored blouse with a dark blue school-uniform style skirt. BACKGROUND/PERSONALITY: Nobody would ever match Kyozo's pleasant, happy wife is the woman who comes to the arcade for her mecha battles wearing all black from head to toe - black, reflective- visored motorcycle helmet, black, tight fitting motorcycle jacket, black gloves, tight black leather jeans and black boots. Her personalities in and out of the arcade are so opposite that nobody would ever expect her to be the Black Lady. . . In fact so opposite that Kyozo is beginning to worry about his wife's sanity. The only hint that she gives of her true identity is that she does not under any circumstance challenge Kyozo. (Note: Kelly/Black Lady are in fact two separate personae, though not unknowing of one another. Her embarrassment about her problem - Dissociative Identity Disorder is the technical term though the popular term is Multiple Personality Disorder) is why she hasn't confided it to Kyozo - she's afraid that if she did he would treat her like a freak) ------------------------------------------------------
