WHAT'S DIFFERENT: A cheat sheet

This Gokudera is taken from the end of a darkly themed memory loss/competition game, and as such there are some pretty important differences! This is a quick cheat sheet to the biggest ones so you don't have to sort through the app to find it.

Visual Differences


His hair is longer than in his icons; almost shoulder length, though he keeps it pulled back in a ponytail held with a strip of leather. He's also lost an inch (shrinking and regrowing hilarity) and put on a few extra pounds of muscle thanks to A) being on a team filled with hunters and B) having to work out daily just to survive. His clothing to begin with looks like this and is all the bright green and orange seen in his icons. Only the shirt is orange. Typically he'll have the top half of the jumpsuit stripped down and tied loosely around his waist to keep it there leaving his arms exposed so he can show off some of his bitchin' rad tatts.

It's also very obvious that Scowl's shadow is not his own. It doesn't match his outline, it's nearly a foot too short, and it bears a striking resemblance to Air Gear's Akito/Agito, for anyone familiar enough with those characters to notice the similarity. Aaand he has a gold stud earring in his left ear.

He's amassed quite a collection of scars and tattoos. Scars include:

  • A jagged scar encircling his upper right arm. As though it'd been ripped off and then reattached. :')

  • Another jagged scar encircling his left leg just above the knee in the same fashion. It looks a bit neater than the one on his arm.

  • Just a huge blotchy mess of scarring over his entire chest and stomach. Stab wounds, acid scarring, etc... IT IS A MESS.

  • Various scars from knife wounds. I know for sure there is one in his side and plenty of gashes on arms and legs and more on sides and everywhere.

  • Lots of small scars from blades on his hands and fingers. He picked those up while learning how to make and throw knives.

  • A painful looking scar below his left ear that looks like this


As for tattoos:

  • THIS COVERS HIS ENTIRE BACK although the "centipede" at the bottom no longer appears dead

  • He also has a tramp stamp of man-eating giant centipedes below that Those centipedes are surrounding a tattoo replication of this scar.

  • This wrapping around his right arm

  • A spade with a star inside of it on the inside of his right wrist.

  • This is on his chest





  • Personality Differences

    • He has adopted the name "Scowl" and will be confused and potentially angry at most people outside of his castmates using the name Gokudera on him.


    • The game he comes from is heavily centered around the characters being forced to play in "games" in order to keep the Judges (gods) of the world fed with the emotions and feelings they have during games. Many Judges favor traumatic games, and there's new plot emerging that the Judges are eventually going to abandon everyone to be devoured by the earth itself for an eternity. :'D I am not even kidding. NATURALLY THIS HAS HAD SOME NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON DERA some of which I will detail a little bit more, but consider this a general notice of "This Dera is fucked up on trauma and terror."


    • He has an intensely deep phobia of psychics and other mental interference type powers. This will eventually be countered when he freaks out enough to get some kind of mental defense from one of the god/desses.


    • Has an EVEN MORE intensely deep phobia of mirrors and reflections in general. There will be absolutely no way to get him to go anywhere near one at all without a fight.


    • His paranoia, tempermentalness, tendency towards violence, and other such things have all been amped up. He is not well-adjusted at all! He will be on edge and stay close to people he can recognize and identify as being from his Sabra team for a sense of comfort.


    • He is the leader of his team and has gained 100 bossy points. :|a ALSO STRESS but I imagine the bossiness and some tendency to give orders sometimes will come into play more once he manages to settle down after the initial shock wears off..


    • I reserve the right to add other things to this list as they come up, but these are the most relevant points that I think need mentioning. :|a
