Welcome to the Ramshackle DormNRC's unofficial eighth dorm. Home to those whose souls could not be sorted or read properly. Students are too low in numbers to accurately describe definitive traits, but it seems to house students who always find themselves in the eye of the storm—and who have a certain pull that can bring others together to weather it. The only dorm to house students without magic.
Micaiah "Micah" Yukimura |
---|
Housewarden of Ramshackle, a girl from another world. Cunning & resourceful, Micah makes up for her lack of magic with her wit, ingenuity, & fists. Being dropped into an unfamiliar place & singled out as "different" has made her a bit guarded around others, but she nonetheless has a caring heart behind that sharp tongue of hers. |
Yuuken Enma |
---|
Vice-Housewarden of Ramshackle, a boy from another world. Intense but kind, Yuuken’s serious demeanor & strict moral code belies his deeply empathetic nature. He & Micah don't see eye to eye all the time, but he proves to be a reliable friend regardless, never hesitating to help manage Ramshackle & all the menaces under its roof. |
Yuuka Hirasaka |
---|
A girl from another world. The persistent but caring type, Yuuka’s amicable attitude is almost enough to make one forget about her status as a judo champion back in her original world. Though hardworking & kind, those who make an enemy of her or her dorm are nonetheless in for a rather rude awakening when she shoulder-throws them. |
Ascian Boulregard |
---|
Hailing from another world, if Yuuken is Micah’s right hand then Ascian is Micah’s left. Being the only human student of Ramshackle capable of consistent magic, she’s a valuable asset to the dorm of mostly non-mage students. Diligent but aloof, underneath her standoffish personality is an intensely loyal (if a bit overbearing) companion. |
Kimberly "Kimi" Villanueva |
---|
Rory’s best friend since childhood, a girl from another world. While she can be a bit peculiar & dramatic at times, Kimi's earnest & noble attitude quickly grew on the other residents of her dorm. She seems to know more than she lets on, but finds herself fumbling through the motions more often than not regardless. |
Yuuya Kuroki |
---|
A boy from another world. He arrived in Twisted Wonderland alongside Micah & Yuuken, but unlike the other two, who possess strong wills, Yuuya is rather timid & non-confrontational. He does whatever he can to avoid conflict, but this proves to be difficult when the majority of his dormmates drag him into their misadventures. |
Yuuta Mito |
---|
A boy from another world. Despite his pleasant & benevolent demeanor, he can be surprisingly crafty when he believes the situation calls for it--though for the most part, he seems content to take things easy. He takes his cooking and food very seriously, and won't tolerate people who do not appreciate the effort put into it. |
Yume-Winry |
---|
A tenacious transfer from RSA. She has a dreamy, airy quality to her, like she isn’t always there, but in truth she's quite perceptive to those around her. Not much is known about her past besides the fact that she & Micah apparently "knew each other," though whether Winry is an amnesiac too or is just purposely being cryptic is up in the air. |
Lorelei "Rory" De la Fuente |
---|
Kimi’s best friend since childhood, a girl from another world. A friendly but mindful & reserved girl, she’s resigned herself to following along with whatever new mess Kimi deems fit to drag them into. She seems to adopt a detached sort of perspective of the world around her with increasing regularity, much to Kimi’s worry. |
Q: Who are these characters?A: Everyone, besides Yuuken, Yuuya, Yuuka, & Yuuta are my Yuusonas/OCs/MCs for TWST! They’re all students of the Ramshackle Dorm.
Q: Oh, cool. Who is your main Yuusona/TWST MC?A: That would be Micah! When playing through the story, she’s the one I actively have in mind when I’m taking into account the player’s answers and feelings about everything going on <3
Q: Do all the other characters exist in the same universe as Micah?A: Yes and no!Micah can exist in her own, standalone universe without any of the others being there (in fact, that is her "canon" storyline!) HOWEVER, most of my other OCs would not work as the “main” MC without someone like Micah, Yuuken, or Yuuka there (some of them would not care about some chapters compared to others, while some would care, but do not have the same ability I personally believe is necessary in order to “clear” the story)!So no in the fact that Micah does not need THEM to exist, but yes in the fact that my OTHER OCs could not replace Micah as the “main” MC and therefore need HER—or someone with the same necessary attributes she has—to take that place if the story is to progress meaningfully. If that makes sense LOL.
Q: Ok, so for the others to be in TWST, Micah or someone else needs to be the “main character.” Does that mean they’re ALL Ramshackle students in that universe? Did the Dark Mirror just kidnap them all at once?A: Yes to the first, yes and no to the second!I call this universe the Ramshackle Roomies AU, or RRAU for short!Essentially, Micah, Yuuken, Yuuya, & Yume-Winry all appear at TWST during the Prologue. However, while the first three arrive in NRC and go through the Prologue + Book 1, Yume-Winry arrives at RSA instead (she transfers to NRC at the end of winter break).Ascian and Yuuka arrive shortly after the end of the Heartslabyul arc, while Kimi, Rory, and Yuuta arrive after the end of Savanaclaw’s.
Q: Huh. Cool. What’s the Ramshackle dynamic like?A: Glad you asked! In general, I stand by the firm belief that the Ramshackle Dorm is a whole MESS that only LOOKS functional in comparison because their competition is literally whatever the hell every other dorm has going on for them DSHAJKFHAK but to be more specific...(buckle in, this is LONG...or just skip this question LOL)MICAH is their longsuffering Housewarden who wants to strangle Crowley for shoving all the new kids her way and doing nothing to help beyond that. They don’t have that many livable rooms in the dump of a dorm you gave them Crowley!! What the fuck!! Stop it!! ...Beyond that, she’s surprisingly responsible and a good leader, always looking out for them and making sure NRC knows NOT to fuck with Ramshackle, ever. She's always caught in the middle of everything that goes down in NRC, so she's the most adept out of everyone to handle the school's usual bullshittery. She's also the one with the most connections around the school, which is helpful when she needs some extra hands to look after her fellow magicless dormmates. While not everyone agrees with her methods, they do trust her to get the job done and look out for their best interests. She's like Ramshackle's scrappy older sister who likes to bully them (affectionate) but would absolutely deck a grown man to defend their honor. Micah is still the little gaslight gatekeep girlboss she always is but in this AU specifically she's a bit more of a ✨responsible✨ gaslight gatekeep girlboss because she's got like 8+ people to think about and you know what? Character growth arc fr fr.While everyone generally has a good relationship with each other, Micah gets along best with Ascian (though she also has a particular soft spot for Kimi, who she sees as a cringefail little sister). But the person she actually feels the closest to would be Yuuken & Yuuya, who were there with her when she first came to TWST and have been a steady presence at her side ever since.I yume her with Leona (🦁🐭)
YUUKEN is the Vice-Housewarden and practically 85% of Ramshackle’s moral compass. He acts as Micah's right-hand man, but the two often clash due to Yuuken's strict code of honor and Micah's tendency to employ underhanded tactics. Like Micah, he was at NRC since the beginning of the school year, and while he's not as heavily involved in all the shenanigans that ensue on campus as Micah is, he still has more experience with them compared to the ones that came later. While he can be blunt, he has a way with words that often encourage and bring comfort to his other dormmates. Combined with Micah's own leadership skills, the two naturally became the ones their dormmates rely on when they feel troubled.He gets along best with Yuuka and Yuuta, but actually feels the closest to Micah & Yuuya due to the fact that they 1) share the responsibility of babysitting Grim, 2) in Micah's case, often work together as Housewarden and Vice-Housewarden to keep Ramshackle running, and 3) all arrived at NRC together and thus only really had one another to rely on when they first started out at this school of prideful mages.
YUUYA, like Micah and Yuuken, was at TWST since the start, but unlike the REST of the dorm, he tries his hardest to NOT get involved with Anyone, Ever. Which never works out for him, unfortunately. In fact, besides Micah, who is always in the center of the school's messes, he seems to be the one that gets involved in NRC's usual shenanigans the most, much to his increasing dismay. Still, his dormmates try their best to look out for him, knowing that he hates confrontation and trouble.He gets along best with Rory since she, like him, really doesn't want to get involved in NRC's usual shenanigans, and is perfectly content living a normal, plain existence. However, he surprisingly feels the closest to Micah and Yuuken since he's known the two of them the longest, and despite their rocky start, they were the first two to really acknowledge him and look out for him, despite his introverted nature and hesitance to make friends.
ASCIAN is Micah's left hand, similar to how Cater can kind of be considered Riddle's. Unlike Yuuken, who often acts as Micah's sounding board and keeps her in check, Ascian acts as more of an enforcer, diligently following Micah's plans with ruthless efficiency and little to no questions. Her one gripe about Micah is that she thinks Micah needs better taste in men (Leona's #1 hater, fr fr). Like the others, she's from another world—except, she comes from a world that also has magic, just one that's different than TWST's. She herself has an insane amount of magical reserves, so she often imbues her excess magic into objects that she then gives to her dormmates to use "in case of emergencies". She's also the only one in the dorm trained in life-or-death situations, and as a result, she's quite protective of them and often sees it as her responsibility to deal with dangerous encounters (typically with her very big, very real scythe).She gets along best with Micah and Yuuka, but has a soft spot for Kimi, who reminds her of her adopted brother.(She also has many familiars who are sentient. Her main familiar though is some kind of fire daemon named Calcifer, who often takes the form of a cat if he isn't going for a more humanoid look. As you can imagine, he and Grim do not get along. Regardless, Calcifer often acts as a mentor/guardian figure to Ascian—and now, by extent, the rest of Ramshackle.)
YUUKA is about 5% of Ramshackle's moral compass, but is mostly known for being Ramshackle's muscle. Yes, Yuuken is also strong and yes, Ascian is the one experienced with real combat. No, that does not change the fact that Yuuka is the muscle. Despite this reputation, Yuuka is a pretty friendly individual who uses her judo skills when she feels it's necessary. Her earnest & caring nature makes her hard to dislike, and also she's just really cool, you know? The only problem her dormmates really have with her is how she can be incredibly persistent, never really letting something go when she's committed to a cause.Yuuka's easy-going nature means she gets along very well with pretty much everyone, but she particularly gravitates towards Yuuken and Ascian.
YUME-WINRY is actually a transfer from Royal Sword Academy and, as of now, the newest student of Ramshackle. She and Micah supposedly "knew each other," which implies that they come from the same world, but nothing else is really known about Winry beyond that—and since Micah herself has a lot of holes in her memory, she can't exactly give any answers either. All in all, she's Ramshackle's biggest enigma. Despite this, she seems to genuinely care about her dormmates, and is surprisingly quite in tune with their thoughts and feelings. She and Yuuka often act as mediators when there are arguments in Ramshackle, and Winry herself is known for her thoughtful insights that often have people taking a step back to think and breathe for a bit. Still, they sometimes get taken aback at how vicious she can be despite her near-constant airy tone of voice—apparently, she can be quite mean when she wants to be, and is not quite as innocent and sweet as she looks. Despite coming from RSA, she always has a scathing retort whenever someone tries to pick on her, making her quite the resilient person.She gets along best with Kimi, Yuuta, and Micah.I occasionally ship her with Sebek (🐊🍯)
KIMI is the remaining 10% of Ramshackle's moral compass. While Kimi comes from Earth just like Micah, Yuuken, and Yuuka, she doesn't actually come from the same Earth. Instead, she comes from an Earth where Twisted Wonderland is a mobile gacha game that she was very fond of playing and Disney is a Thing. However, she finds herself unable to actually talk about what she knows due to some strange spell placed on her. Being a fan of the game, she's quite excited to get to know the "main characters"...less so to actually be one of them. Still, her sincerity, benevolence, and enthusiasm she puts into every task make the others find her endearing, like an over-excitable little sister. The only problem is, she puts in so much effort that at times, she makes things worse, and often expends a lot of energy to do very little. Well, at least she has a lot of capable people who have her back regardless—especially Rory, who has been her friend since childhood and was also transported to Twisted Wonderland with her.Kimi is fond of all of her dormmates, but ultimately gets along best with Rory and Yume-Winry. Though, she has a strong sense of admiration for Micah and often seeks her approval and/or opinion, seeing her as the "true" MC (as well as a subconscious part of her treating her as a cool older sister).I ship her with Silver (⚔️🪡)
RORY, as previously mentioned, has been Kimi’s best friend since childhood. If Yuuken, Yuuka, and Kimi make up Ramshackle’s moral compass, then Rory is 95% of Ramshackle’s impulse control. Like Kimi, she's aware that TWST is a mobile gacha game...but unlike Kimi, she’s never actually played TWST. All of her knowledge comes secondhand from Kimi’s long, half-incoherent ramblings about the game. Though she seems like your average girl and has no problems with her other dormmates on the surface, she is the most distant one among them due to the fact that she started out seeing them all as fictional characters rather than real people, which unnerved some of her dormmates and fellow students. She was always mindful of the fact that everything around her is supposedly a "fictional scenario" because it was the best way she could make sense of the crazy things happening around her, but it unfortunately developed into a bad habit that often made her seem indifferent to the feelings and struggles of others. She eventually comes to accept that the world around her is very much real, but some habits are difficult to break.She gets along best with Kimi, for obvious reasons, as well as Yume-Winry, who was the only one seemingly unbothered by her tendency to view the world in a fictional sense, and Yuuya, who also dislikes getting involved in NRC's usual bullshittery.I ship her with Ace (❤️🐶)
YUUTA arrived with Rory and Kimi! He's got a benevolent & easy-going nature that makes him hard to dislike. Also helps that cooking and sharing his meals happens to be one of the ways he expresses himself and his care! Ramshackle will never go hungry again. And yet, despite his kind nature, he is still very much a resident of Ramshackle; he can be quite crafty when the situation calls for it, and there are some buttons of his you probably shouldn't push. The other residents of Ramshackle learn very quickly how to appreciate their meals, that's for sure! Still, they find that they can't complain, and for the most part Yuuta is a fun person to be around.Yuuta gets along best with Yume-Winry, who always takers her time to enjoy her meals, as well as Yuuken, who is firm and honest but not unkind.
GRIM is, of course, Ramshackle's "lovable" mascot feline companion and main shit starter. He's like the annoying little brother you kind of want to punt into the sun but still love regardless <3.He has very specific opinions on everyone, but will never admit that Micah is his favorite with Yuuken and Yuuya close behind.And the ghosts of Ramshackle are also honorary members! While they like to play pranks, they've grown very fond of the living residents under their roof.All in all, they're a bunch of dumbasses who menace and heckle each other in the unsafety of Ramshackle's collapsing walls but are ride or die outside of them, and that's so valid of them you know!!
Wow, that was long!! I'll leave it there, but believe me when I say I have so much more to say.Moots DM me and we can gush about our OCs with one another, I am all ears and I also have a lot to say about my own. We can be delusional together <3
Q: Do you have more OCs? And are they also going to be part of Ramshackle?A: I do, in fact, have more OCs! However, these OCs are from other dorms, and are all from TWST (AKA, not isekai'd)! But I haven't fleshed them out quite as well as these guys yet, and so I don't have much to put here! (I would LOVE to gush about them to any moots willing to listen though!).As for adding more to the Ramshackle Dorm, I don't have any immediate plans to make more Ramshackle students, but we'll see what the future brings! I'm quite invested in the manga serialization of TWST, and they might make new MCs for each new book, but that sounds like it will be years down the line, so who knows if I'll be adding them to the RRAU!
Q: I want to know more about your OCs. Where can I learn more?A: WOW, thank you for taking an interest in my little sillies! 🥺👉👈 I put a lot of effort in them!You can find some more detailed info of them in the OC Profiles page! I also post about them a LOT on my Twitter, so check them out there!Thank you all for your support and kindness! (❁´◡`❁)
