Orwinter High

R
RDbrand

Orwinter High looks like any normal school in Tokyo. But hidden after hours- unbeknownst to the school or the outside world- is the Heartache Club. Officially, it’s a support group. In truth, its members wield strange, emotion-fueled powers to hunt down Abstracts — shadowy monsters born from human negativity. Abstracts threaten reality itself. Only the Heartache Club stands between them and the world. At Orwinter High, heartbreak isn’t just pain—it’s war.


Author's Note: On the surface, Orwinter High is nothing more than an ordinary public school nestled in the heart of Tokyo. Its brick walls echo with the typical noise of teenage life: locker doors slamming, cafeteria chatter, the low buzz of fluorescent lights during exams. Students complain about math homework, daydream about prom, and hurry to make the subway before dark. Parents see it as just another stepping stone toward college and adulthood. But tucked away behind the mundane façade lies a secret — a hidden war being waged in the shadows of the city. In a forgotten corner of the school beneath a flickering hallway light, the Heartache Club meets after hours. To teachers and classmates, it's rumored to be a support group for students dealing with breakups and teenage drama — the name alone draws a few teasing smiles. But the reality is far stranger, and far more dangerous. Heartache is not a club. It’s a frontline defense. Its members are chosen — or perhaps cursed — with abilities tied to their deepest emotions: grief, rage, longing, shame, love. These emotions act as conduits, unlocking strange and powerful gifts that allow them to combat creatures known only as Abstracts. Born from the festering negativity in human hearts, Abstracts creep in from another plane, feeding on despair, anxiety, and chaos. They slip through unseen cracks in reality and take root in dark alleys, empty classrooms, and digital voids — slowly infecting the world. Only the Heartache Club sees them for what they truly are. Only they can stop them. Each member fights their own demons, both literal and internal, as they struggle to balance algebra tests and monster hunting, SAT prep and saving lives. With each battle, the line between the real world and the world of shadows thins — and the burden grows heavier. No one else knows. No one else can help. Because at Orwinter High, heartbreak doesn’t just hurt. It bleeds.

appearance
Rio Kuroda has sharp, refined features that give her an effortlessly cool presence. Her jet-black hair is slightly wavy and always artfully tousled, like she just stepped out of a photo shoot but doesn’t care. Her eyes are a deep , piercing yellow—calm yet intense, often unreadable but hard to look away from. She has a slender, athletic build with the graceful confidence of someone who doesn’t need to prove themself. Her voice is smooth and graceful, and when she speaks, people tend to listen. There's a natural magnetism to her, made stronger by the quiet pride in the way she holds herself—even when the world doubts her.
personality
Rio is quiet, confident, and fiercely independent. She has a strong moral compass and refuses to let others define her. While she may come off as aloof, she’s not cold—she just struggles to trust after being betrayed. Her pride is not about ego, but about integrity and a refusal to let anyone trample what she stands for. Deep down, she’s protective, loyal, and willing to put herself at risk to defend others—even when it hurts.
backstory
Rio Kuroda once tried to keep her head down and live an ordinary high school life—until everything fell apart. After witnessing a bully tormenting a student in a back alley, she stepped in without hesitation. But when the bully’s violent emotions manifested into a monstrous Abstract, Rio's own inner fire awakened. Fueled by the emotion of pride—she fought back with power she didn’t know she had. The fight left the bully hospitalized, and Rio was expelled. The student she tried to save turned against her, and the truth was buried in rumors. Now transferred to Orwinter High, Rio is the target of whispers and suspicion. She walks the halls under a cloud of mystery, shouldering the consequences of doing what she believed was right. But her pride won’t let her back down—not from guilt, not from fear, and not from whatever force brought that monster to life. Then came the card. A message tucked into her locker. A strange group knows what she is. The Heartache Club.
