Character: Kitasaka Rouma
Series: Delicious Gakuin
Character Age: ~16
Canon: Ever hear the saying the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? The same can be said of world domination, apparently. The school of Delicious Gakuin forces students to become master chefs in a harsh cook-or-starve environment, in hopes of taking over the world through cooking. The only way for a student to leave this inescapable academy (barbed wire, deep forest, middle of nowhere, anyone?) is by defeating the five master chefs that run the school in a Delicious Bout-- a cooking contest between chefs. Think Iron Chef, but with the man in charge being a talking bull sculpture. Seriously. Five students have formed a rag-tag group to take them down in a brutal series of Delicious Bouts, the likes of which this school has never seen!
The shining star of fiery determination and sheer deliciousness-seeking fury of the Delicious Five is Kitasaka Rouma. Hailing from Hokkaido, he’s very strong-willed and to the point-- with few moral qualms about stealing food. The most important thing to him is, of course, his stomach. He has a taste for most things raw, with a particular love of cabbage from his hometown. Driven only by hunger, he’s able to sniff out good ingredients by sheer instinct. Because cooking brings back sad memories of his deceased mother, Rouma hates it; instead he just prefers to ‘make delicious things.’ When he does feel inspired and driven enough to cook, he uses Tekkamaru, a giant frying pan left to him by his mom. This desire can only be awakened by the intense want for something delicious-- he works himself up into a fury, and suddenly, with a transformation sequence to boot, Rouma’s instincts push him to master-level culinary senses.
Note: Rouma uses the word ‘gekiuma’ a lot in canon-- it’s part of Hokkaido dialect, literally “explosive deliciousness”
Sample Post:
Now where did that sweet cabbage-chan get to? I followed her all the way out here, but there’s no sign of her anywhere. I can’t even smell her so it’s like she just decided to fly away. Ah, man, and I was really excited, too! I could see those leaves now, crisp and green and just the right amount of ripeness. After thinking about that I’m even hungrier than before. The sweet crunch when you take just one bite out of her, and the taste... I’m sure she will still be perfect, even after rolling all this way.
‘All this way?’ Yeah, something seems different here. I don’t remember cornfields. Wait! Could this mean I’m free? Of course! She led me to destiny and freedom; now if only that brave cabbage-chan would return so I -wait, there she is, right at the top of that silo. With a big squid-looking thing.
That big squid looks like it’s about to eat- Hey! Give that back! She’s mine; all that gekiuma is mine! Just because you’re bigger and have more limbs than me doesn’t mean anything. I saw her first, and I was headed over here to get her before you even picked her up. That’s just not something you do, you know? Especially since that cabbage’s only reason for being here is me!
Tell you what, I’ll give you a couple options here. You can keep cabbage-chan in all her luscious, leafy glory-- but I’m going to climb up there and eat you if you do. You heard me right! I’m not leaving here without something gekiuma! I’m not afraid of those tentacles you keep shaking at me either. Honestly? It just makes them look more tantalizing. It’s either you or the vegetable; if you want to live, return her to me. Ah, no, don’t fling poor cabbage-chan at me! Just toss her down very gently so she doesn’t get bruised, and we’ll part ways here. You don’t seem convinced or scared right now, but that silo also doesn’t look hard to climb at all! I’ve been through worse, and I think I can take you. It’s not like me to threaten my prospective dinner, but you pushed it this far yourself.
Oh, so you’ve come to your senses. Great~ That’s a good girl, just lower her down. Thank you very much; I’ll be taking that now. Hey-- wait, where are those tentacles going? Get off of me-- no! I’m not gekiuma at all! Lemme go! You’re crushing m-my ribs, GYAAAAAAAAAH!
