Yoishi Katsumi

This character inhabits a modern world, but immersed in cultural and existential darkness. It is a metropolis that mixes industrial gothic architecture with the gray of urban despair (an environment that evokes the aesthetics of Doom Metal). The environment is competitive and harsh, where ambition and self-sufficiency are more important than morality or faith (justifying their goal of surviving and standing out). Extreme Metal (Black, Doom, Death) culture is a dominant subculture and a way of life for many, not just music, serving as a philosophy of nihilism and defiance. The world is cold and offers no promises of an easy or long life.
