Character name: Shchel Kunchik
Fandom: The Violinist of Hameln: Shchelkunchik
Timeline: Chapter 48
Age: 17 1/2
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths:
Shchel has been subjected to horrifying human experimentation at the age of 15. He's been force fed fairies and his head organs has been implanted onto a magical doll fueled by fairy power. He can still feel pain but he's reckless enough to keep throwing himself into danger because he doesn't see himself as a human anymore. Because of his new body, he can borrow Piroro's [His fairy friend / sidekick] magic and use it for himself. This ability is called Spirit Arts. With this power, he can create huge fiery explosions. Other than that, he's like a normal civilian with average stamina and strength.
How would they use their abilities?:
He can only access his powers via Piroro. If she's not willing to give him any power, his body starts to crash and nothing comes out. Even if he tries to access that power himself - no Piroro, no nada. But when Piroro's by his side, they can create huge fireballs that can wipe out an entire forest. But Shchel's a nice guy and unless he's pissed or trying to impress someone, he's not willing to tap into Spirit Arts as it does drain Piroro's reserves.
Appearance:
He's quite short and skinny compared to his peers [even before the whole horrible experimentation]. Though no canon data is available yet, I assume he's probably around 5' - 5' 3". Shchel's wardrobe consists of his cat-eared hat that he's own since he was 5, a cloak with short sleeves, a long sleeved undershirt, gloves, baggy pants, and knee-high boots. He also wears a small brown pouch around his neck which holds his father's sewing kit and Piroro. Though early colored pages suggested he had blue hair, his official hair color is a dirty brown and hazel brown eyes.

Background/Personality:
5 years before Shchel was born, the world was saved by the Five Great Hopes [the main heroes from The Violinist of Hameln] from being oppressed by the Great Demon King Chestra [the big bad guy who saw humans as food to play with]. They sealed the evil king back into Pandora's Box and got their happily ever after. The end right? Nope, demons still roamed the land. Granted they were significantly weakened but they still pose a threat to non-magical civilians.
Shchel was only 5 years old when his village was attacked by a lone dragon. He was about to die at the jaws of this beast until he was saved by the Commander of the Magi-Corps [VoH's holy military]. After slaying the dragon via huge magical blast, Commander Clarinet [one of the side characters from the original series who surprisingly looks younger than before but still the same guy] placed Shchel's hat back on his head and returned him safe to his mother and father. From that moment on, he wanted to grow up just like that man - powerful and kind.
Flash forward 10 years. His parents have vanished from the village making him the orphan people either pick on or pity. But he doesn't let that stop him from being the determined little boy who wants to be a hero... even if he is clumsy and believes that the bullies who torment him are actually his friends. It's alright, it doesn't bother him as he views it as training to be part of the Magi-Corps. Tunnel vision at its finest. But at least he has his precious friend / big-sister-figure-who's-actually-a-year-younger / potential girlfriend, Harmony, to look after him. While he's polite and tries to be helpful to everyone, Harmony is the only person who he seems to be extremely close to as they share stories and dreams with one another.
In their village, the children who turn 15 get to participate in the Coming of Age Ceremony. For the last 10 years, everyone who turns 15 is led by the fairy messenger [a strange clown named Baroque] to the Rose Thorn Palace where they would receive the Fairy Goddess's blessing before heading off on their journey in life. Baroque tells them that their guide will be the Flower Fairy Piroro who will lead them to the Palace. As he tells them this, Shchel can see Piroro shackled in her cage. He can't help but feel sad and worried for her, feeling the need to do something but stops due to Harmony. Seeing her sad at the thought of their separation, he promises her that he'll return to see her before she leaves for her Coming of Age. As he does, he boasts about how he'll become a great mage to her to lighten her mood and enforce his dreams to everyone around him. Three days later, the 15 year old villagers are brought to the Rose Thorn Palace. Shchel is being picked on by his bullies but naive Shchel takes it all in jest. He even goes after them to return something that fell from their pocket when they were kicking him.
When he goes to return the item, he comes face to face with the horrible truth. He watches from the door's window panel the experiments that Baroque is putting the bullies through. As he backs away in horror, he finds Piroro in her cage watching him sadly. Everything he knew about the ceremony was a lie. His village was a testing ground for these fairy users experiments. Shchel is caught by Baroque and goes under experimentation. Finding Shchel to have high adaptability with fairy powers, they test their mechanical body made for war on him. While fully aware of everything, they cut him to pieces and plopped his head onto the doll. But the body rejects him, the power overloading his magical frame at the seams. The head scientist claimed him to be a failure and said to throw it away. To make matters worse, they compare him to a broken toy and that they have more test subjects to try on.
This moment kills all of Shchel's self esteem and nearly breaks his will to live. They throw a nearly comatose Shchel into a ditch of dead bodies. Only his promise to Harmony keeps him awake. He wills himself to move though it causes intense pain. He goes back to Harmony after stealing Piroro from the bad guys and tells her to wait for him and that he'll return before she turns 15 as a great mage. Gifting her with his only memento from his missing mother, he sets off to find a way to learn magic to stop the big baddies from killing anyone else.
Finally we get to the start of the actual manga. I know right? All that dark stuff in a gag manga? Crazy...
Two years pass. Shchel and Piroro head to the kingdom of magic, Sforzando, via train to find a way to become a great mage. Some huge jerk starts to threaten a crying kid, Shchel tries to be a hero by reasoning but gets smacked, some random kid [Great, one of the kids of the main heroes from the original] with a violin starts to play Beethoven's Pour Elise which makes the jerk fall under a spell to act like a blushing maiden. The results are hilarious but terrifying. This is the first case of Magcial Music which turns the listener into a marionette for the player to control by tapping into the emotions that the music evokes. In the original series, Hamel [main character of VoH and father of Great] used the magical music to control Flute [the heroine from VoH and mother of Great] to be super strong or to dress in stupid costumes against her will. It also causes the listener to be in extreme pain and shaves off years from their lifespan.
After fucking around with Shchel as well, Great introduces himself and tells him about the existence of Sforzando's school of magic which is more of a military training academy. The two of them head to the entrance exam which turns out to be a battle royale. To pass, they must defeat one another and try to grab this orb in the middle of the arena. Great makes short work of the competition with his magical music, making this huge guy in armor strip and pose suggestively. When Great threatens Shchel with the same thing, Shchel freezes up and panics, trying his best to resist even though he has no magic to use against him. Being a nice jerk, Great forces Shchel via magical music to march off the arena instead.
When Shchel realizes that he couldn't control his body anymore, he stabs himself in the legs with his scissors to stop himself. He tells everyone there than he will not leave until he can become a wizard. Great keeps on trying to get Shchel to lose without hurting him but he stabs his own hand while claiming he'll make it in to achieve his dream. His tenacity impresses everyone enough to allow him into the school even though Great wins at the end of the round. The two become friends and roommates though both their pasts cause them to hide things from one another.
Well, that is until some evil black fairy [the results of Baroque's experimentation on injecting fairies into humans] tries to attack Great via some huge monster. Shchel throws himself into danger, becoming a human shield so that Great can cast magical music. With magical music power-up, Shchel beats up the monster and saves the day. The two of them have a moment where he shocks Great with the idea that they're friends but it is ruin by the revelation that Great holds the blood of the Great Demon King Chestra. Though the rest of the class turns their back to Great, Shchel tries to stick on his side because he can tell that his new friend is suffering. Great tries to push him away yet Shchel keeps trying to help because he cares. Bad fairy cooks up another plot to cause Great to go batshit crazy, forcing him to transform into demon form. Great goes berserk and Shchel can only watch helplessly as everyone attacks his friend due to having stakes pinning his hands to a wall. He escapes with the help of the String Sisters [his classmates, one of them likes Shchel] and goes to calm Great down with friendship rather than violence. He gets a hand through his chest for his efforts. But Shchel still hugs Great and tells him that he accepts Great for who he is because they're friends.
Great goes back to normal but gets his blood sucked out by the black fairy and Shchel is in serious condition. But with a little fairy dust and lots of thread, he's all patched up and ready for school with his new street cred of being a total badass for facing a demon. Only problem is that he keeps ruining his own reputation with the fact he can't use magic at all. With the threat of expulsion, his friends all try to evoke his magical powers until they realize that he has a knack for forbidden and lost magic - Spirit Arts. However, Piroro yells at him to not use the cursed power that he was remodeled for and leaves him when he claims that there's no other way as he is unable to use any other type of magic.
After she leaves, his body starts to break down. Shchel tries his best to hide it but his normal upbeat nature is more subdued and everybody notices. Only when Great confronts him on it does Shchel break down and cries out on how he is a cursed being and will only drag everyone down. Even though he accepts Great, Shchel cannot accept his inhumanity. A touching moment happens where Great saves Shchel from being hurt, telling him that together they can change their cursed fate. Another black fairy appears, kicks everyone's ass, reveals Shchel's past to the rest of his classmates, Piroro comes back to help Shchel, a huge magical power-up due to the powers of friendship, and Shchel is now facing the repercussion of being exposed as a fairy weapon. Though Great accepts him for what he is, he's now being ostracized by the others for being non-human and having a connection with the evil group.
Shchel comes off as a naive hero in training. He's easily impressed by anything new and magical and extremely optimistic. Due to his idol, he tries to emulate the idea of a kind and powerful magician though he tends to be clumsy and more of a hazard than helpful. His heart is in the right place but expect more messes before he can fix the problem. His small stature leaves him open to a lot of teasing about him being weak but he takes it as motivation to change fate.
His large heart is the root of his strength. Though he looks foolish to others, Shchel tries to be the better person and works things out with words before fists even if he gets hurt in the process. Friends are an important aspect to his life and he tries his best to keep everyone happy at his own expense.
The only thing that will get him down is the fact that he sees himself as a broken doll. Though he understands that it's better to accept everyone, he knows that people cannot accept things that are different from them. Frighten of being rejected, he tends to keep up a positive attitude to keep people from not noticing anything different about him and to keep his own spirits up.
Since VoH and VoH:S is part gag manga, Shchel tends to be the buttmonkey. The boy has surprising tolerance for the hi-jinks he has to live through such as being force to drink poison, having magical chihuahuas and the spirit of a magical sword beat him up, having his classmates think he's a girl, being magically controlled and pressured to seduce people because he's the submissive meek little bird type that makes the other characters feel fluttery. No lie, Great calls him out on his character type in Chapter 41. Shchel reacts to all these situations with over the top expressions and tends to complain that he has the worst luck for a main character.
Have you read up on how the game works?:
The Guide Plugin is called FlamingFerret and Shchel can make money by working, mooching, and/or stealing.
1st person sample:
[There's something different about Shchel today but it's hard to tell with how he's hiding his whole body under his blanket. His movements are a bit more clumsier than usual with the fact that he can't see where he's going. The idiot forgot to cut eye holes before going out in public like this.]
Does anyone have an extra set of pants? I woke up this morning and my drawers are all empty. Even my folded boxers!
Who steals another guy's boxers anyways? What would they do with them? Wait...
I don't wanna know. [The figure under the blanket seems to shiver.] I hope they aren't doing some weird ritual where they have to sacrifice them to summon a great demon or leave them behind after a big crime scene as false evidence or even... wearing them!
At least they didn't steal my hat.
3rd person sample:
The boy stood still with one gloved hand pressed against the window, the other clutching his sewing pouch as tightly as he could. If he was still back at the school, he would be looking up at the bright moon and the millions of stars in the sky. Now... now he was traveling through those stars, far pass the moon he used to think was made of cheese!
But this wasn't the same. He couldn't just turn around and see Great tuning his violin or imagine Harmony sitting outside and looking at the same moon he was watching. If only there was a sign that they were saved, maybe then he could sleep without being haunted by those horrible memories.
Shchel pressed his face against the cool glass before quietly sneaking out of the room. He might not have been fall asleep but his insomnia shouldn't have to keep Piroro awake. With a bit of fumbling, he managed to get the Guide to show how to get to the park. A good walk would clear his mind. He tugged his hat lower and started off.
As he walked around, he could hear something so familiar that it made his body ached with longing or pain, he wasn't completely sure yet. Though he could see it wasn't his friend playing, the soothing sounds of Schubert's Lullaby playing in the air made him smile and feel a bit better. Shchel blushed when the song was over and the player staring back at him. Oh that was embarrassing! The villagers always told him it was impolite to stare too long. He should have gone for the hide behind the bushes technique.
"Hi there," he said as he walked up to them. "I couldn't help but notice you playing... no, you were great! I really liked it! It didn't make me want to go crazy with power or in pain- wait don't go!" Was it something he said?
Questions?:
Can I bring Piroro the fairy in as an additional voice that would speak up once in a while? In canon, she doesn't stray too far from Shchel and she only comes out when the situation needs her to play the angry defensive sister roll or the one holding her face in her hands when Shchel is being a buttmonkey.
