Hermann Black

[ Profile ]

Gender:  ♂
Age:  25
Height:  195cm
Position:  Warden
First person:  I (formal)
Second person:  you (blunt)

[ Appearance ]

A young man with white hair and sharp, blue eyes.
His refined, statue-like features are always set in an expressionless mask or a fearless smirk.
He gives off an intimidating and cold impression...

[ Personality ]

I feel like he basically looks down on everyone.
Merciless, cold-blooded, ruthless—that was my first impression.
Plus, he's intimidating and seems to be a perfectionist.
It looks like he has a severe sadistic streak, too...
He acts with the typical arrogance of an aristocrat.
Ugh, I hate it.

[ Details ]

He constantly declares that "Prisoners have no human rights," and I think that phrase embodies him perfectly.
In this prison, both inmates and guards are terrified of him.
And for good reason—he torments prisoners like us far more than necessary.
What's worse, he enjoys it...
Honestly, he has no sense of ethics whatsoever.
People praise him as a perfect individual who attained wealth and fame at a young age, but without morals, he's just a beast.

[ Toward Malice ]

It seems he hates that spiteful, sarcastic guard who's full of malice. Says he's just a talentless man who does nothing but snark. Hmm... well, I can see his point. He calls that man "Jerk."

[ Toward Jester ]

Apparently, he finds the jokes and gags the clown guard spits out to be utterly boring. He makes his dislike so obvious that it's almost funny. He calls that man "Lame."

[ Toward Irony ]

He seems to have written off that kind guard as an incompetent failure who can't meet expectations. Apparently, he feels disgust toward that guard's unconscious madness... Well, I mean, that guard is kind, but he definitely feels a bit off. He calls that man "Nuts."

[ Toward that kid ]

That new kid who was imprisoned recently. I feel like he's directing a strong obsession toward them... I can't put it into words, but it's intense. It seems he addresses that kid without honorifics.

Malice Jerk

[ Profile ]

Gender:  ♂
Age:  22
Height:  192cm
Position:  Deputy Warden
First person:  I (soft)
Second person:  you (casual)

[ Appearance ]

A young man with purple hair and very distinctive straight-cut bangs.
He has golden eyes that are slightly droopy.
He has a baby-faced, refined look for his age, but he's a typical nasty piece of work who always wears a spiteful smile.
His movements are somehow very slow and languid.

[ Personality ]

He's basically aloof and has an incredibly frivolous attitude.
On top of that, he's sarcastic, spiteful, and says nothing but malicious things.
If that wasn't bad enough, he's also two-faced and a schemer, making him a real handful.

[ Details ]

If I had to describe him, the word "thrill-seeker" fits best.
He lives to enjoy the reactions of others by repeatedly saying the worst, most malicious things.
He seems to fear the Warden, but I've never seen him drop his playful, sarcastic act.

[ Toward Hermann ]

I think he feels a sense of fear toward the Warden, the ruler here. But it feels like there's a bit of loathing mixed in there too. Even so, the way he occasionally throws out sarcasm or insults to see his reaction is pretty impressive in a way. He calls the Warden "Lord Warden."

[ Toward Jester ]

It seems he finds the clown's jokes and gags to be a nuisance. Even he thinks so, which says a lot about the clown. He usually brushes off the clown's jokes, but apparently, he returns the sarcasm when he's in a good mood. Well, it doesn't change the fact that he hates him, though. He calls that man "Mr. Clown."

[ Toward Irony ]

I feel like he enjoys watching that guard fail to meet the Warden's expectations every time. It really makes me realize how incredibly nasty his personality is, but I can hear him heckling that guard's unconscious madness even from inside my cell. Seriously, I wonder just how much he hates him. I wish he'd think about the prisoners who have to listen to him belittling others forever... He calls that man "Mr. Hypocrite."

[ Toward that kid ]

I feel like he's directing a blatant interest, obsession, or... something twisted toward that kid. I won't call it love, because that would make me forget what normal love is... Anyway, he throws malicious sarcasm just because he wants to see that kid suffer. It seems he addresses that kid without honorifics.

Jester Lame

[ Profile ]

Gender:  ♂
Age:  21
Height:  190cm
Position:  Chief Guard
First person:  I (rough/casual)
Second person:  you (soft)

[ Appearance ]

A young man with black, spiky hair that's very distinctive.
His eyes are always closed in a squint, but he opens them normally when he's surprised or shaken.
His eye color was the same black as his hair.
He has refined, handsome features, but his exaggerated emotional expressions stand out every single time.
Just the other day, he was taking a curtain call toward empty space.
True to his name, he often makes theatrical gestures like a pierrot... no, a clown.
And he wears glasses, but I often wonder... are those actually necessary?
Well, I won't say it out loud.
I can't be entirely sure, but his right leg looks... unnatural.
I wonder if it's a prosthetic.

[ Personality ]

He is, how should I put it, a liar to an exasperating degree.
On top of that, he's frivolous and his reactions are loud every time.
I've been lied to by him so much that I'm honestly fed up.
Just recently, he fed me a prison break method, and I fell right into his trap.
Being that cunning with that attitude is the absolute worst.
He's like an innocent, inquisitive child, but what he does is the work of a demon.

[ Details ]

If I had to describe him in one sentence, he's a lying clown who lives for the entertainment of others.
He breathes out black humor and gags that belittle others as naturally as breathing.
And the fact that he targets both guards and prisoners alike is something else.
He seems to view people who react well to his jokes favorably, and he can be quite annoying because he'll persistently try to engage you over and over.

[ Toward Hermann ]

I often see him playing jokes and gags over and over again, even while directing a sense of fear toward the Warden. When I first saw it, I doubted his sanity, but according to him, he dreams of the day he can make the Warden laugh. ...Talking like that, he seemed like a child who couldn't grow up, and it made me feel strange. Ah... no, no, I'll just forget it. He calls the Warden "Master."

[ Toward Malice ]

Apparently, he's fed up with that malicious guard. Well, when he plays a joke, he either gets ignored or gets a mouthful of sarcasm back, so it's one of the two. According to him, he loathes that man, calling him a two-faced psychopathic bastard. He calls that man "Purple-Hearted."

[ Toward Irony ]

He's always messing with that guard and teasing him. Every time, I'm impressed that he doesn't get bored... He's always teasing that guard for his earnest efforts, but it's funny to watch him get creeped out by the madness that guard occasionally shows. He calls that man "Mad Green."

[ Toward that kid ]

He seems to have a strong interest in that kid. I've been told stories about that kid several times, and according to him, he wants to be friends. There are moments where I feel an unusual obsession, but well, it's not my place to stick my nose in. He calls that kid without honorifics.

Irony Nuts

[ Profile ]

Gender:  ♂
Age:  27
Height:  196cm
Position:  Deputy Chief Guard
First person:  I (casual)
Second person:  you (soft)

[ Appearance ]

A young man with pale green hair and a characteristic soft atmosphere.
He always wears a gentle smile, and while his refined features are sweet, his eyes are... dead.
He has round eyes and a look that shouldn't make people wary, but those dull brown irises ruin everything.

[ Personality ]

He's calm and kind, a presence that seems far too out of place in this prison—that was my first impression.
But once you look under the hood, well... the fact that it's not all a lie makes it tricky and hard to judge...
He carries out his duties properly in this prison full of slackers, and he doesn't harass prisoners or guards.
He's a gentleman who can be considerate of others, and he's a bit airheaded, often called clumsy by those around him, but his approachability is by far the best.
...If you only look at the surface, that is...
I feel like he harbors an unconscious madness that he probably isn't even aware of himself.
He's a psychopath, but an unconscious one...
Yet his kindness and earnestness aren't lies either... yeah, it's complicated...

[ Details ]

As I wrote before, he's a very rare guard in this prison who is kind and gentle.
It's just that his kindness is a bit... off compared to normal.
In unexpected moments, the way his madness peeks through makes my skin crawl.
The fact that the madness isn't something he's putting out consciously is what makes it truly hopeless.

[ Toward Hermann ]

He seems to feel a sense of fear toward the Warden, but even so, the way he serves earnestly and faithfully is impressive. Even when the Warden dismisses him as incompetent or cuts him off, he just keeps smiling, which is actually really scary. He calls the Warden "Lord Hermann."

[ Toward Malice ]

He's always being sarcastically mocked by that malicious guard, so I asked him what he thought, and he said, "I think it's nice that he's always energetic." I was like, wait, wait, wait, is that really all?? but it seems that really is all. I seriously doubt if that's really okay... He calls that man "Malice-kun."

[ Toward Jester ]

I asked him about the clown too, but I didn't get much of an opinion. To him, that clown is someone who provides entertainment. He thinks it's amazing that he can come up with so many jokes... As I thought, he's crazy in his own way too. I stopped thinking about it. He calls that man "Jester-kun."

[ Toward that kid ]

Even he seems to be interested in that kid. According to him, they're cute. I think so too, but since I know him well, I'm internally freaking out. Well, I am curious to see what happens if he gets obsessed with someone, though... He calls that kid without honorifics.

...The diary ends here.
