Character: Reiji Sakamaki
Series: Diabolik Lovers
Character Age: 18
Canon: When Komori Yui’s priest father has been called away on urgent business by the main church in Europe, she’s sent to live with some unknown distant relatives. Upon arriving at their home, she finds it to be almost like a haunted western style mansion, and she isn’t wrong - her ‘relatives’ actually turn out to be a group of vampire siblings. To save herself from being made their dinner, Yui ends up having to choose who her ‘owner’ will be amongst the six brothers, something that might not seem like much of a choice, but ends up having a large influence on her upcoming fate.

Sophisticated and refined, Reiji comes across as the most mature of the six vampires, if a little pretentiously snobbish. While he shares their arrogance and disdain for lesser creatures such as humans, he places himself on a higher pedestal than his brothers and often likes to claim he is above their base behaviors, showing more interests in his drug research, prized tableware collection and making sure the mansion is well-kept than he does in doing anything to Yui outside of trying to ‘discipline’ her into a cultured lady. He also prefers quality tea to actually making a move to suck Yui’s blood. However, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the desire, he simply goes about it in a discreet manner to appear more of a gentleman than those he mocks. In that same regard, he isn’t more ‘mature’ either; he's more than capable of being petty and holding a grudge for offending him or damaging what he considers his. That said, he finds it uncomfortable when people say positive things about him such as saying he’s ‘kind’ and will strongly deny it should someone comment that he’s doing something nice for them.

Note: The vampires in this canon aren’t terribly bothered if someone finds out they’re a vampire, but they must maintain some level of secrecy and though they’re ordered by their father to try to somewhat act according to human society’s standard for a ‘family’, only Reiji tries to follow it more strictly than his siblings.


Sample Entry:
Tell us about yourself in a few words.
If it is truly necessary, I suppose I can spare a few words. I am Reiji, the second son of the Sakamaki family. I am currently a third year student at Ryoutei High School, and I live with the people I unfortunately have to call my brothers at our family mansion, where I am responsible for managing household affairs.

Why are you joining our happy community?
Apparently it is a well known fact amongst certain circles that this camp is a hub for certain . . . unique group of people, thus my father believes it is a good opportunity to expand the social circles of my brothers and I. Naturally, my father recognizes that I am more capable than the rest of that barbarous lot and decided to send me ahead.

What do you expect from the campers here?
There are few amongst my peers that I could consider worthy of engaging in conversation, let alone meet the expectations I have towards the company I keep. Alas I have yet to meet anyone who is capable of meeting those expectations, therefore I do not anticipate that I will easily encounter such a person here. I have since learned to somewhat lower my expectations and force myself to interact with my lessers for the purpose of following certain aesthetics, however.

What do you expect from yourself?
Nothing less of perfection, of course. I hold myself to an even higher standard than my peers and naturally, one way or another, I always meet them.

Would you be able to dispose of the flesh of the undead? How?
Hypothetically, where would the undead flesh in question be? If it is in, for example, a dungeon area, then it should not be too difficult a task to dispose of - simply gather up the pieces and then burn them at an appropriate place before cleaning the area as you would normally. If it was an area such as a living room, on the other hand . . . that would be unfortunate, and I cringe at the thought of why anyone with the slightest hint of sensibility would consider allowing such filth into the room. Nevertheless, I shall answer your question - my methods would be similar to if I was cleaning the dungeon however I would make sure to completely sterilize and renovate the room afterward. It simply would not be appropriate to entertain guests or spend time in again otherwise.

If there was a good dog and a criminal both hanging from a cliff and you could only save one, which would you save and why?
If the hypothetical dog was mine and it was a clever, obedient, and well-behaved dog, then between it and a criminal, there would be no question that I would save what is mine. After all, what use is some insignificant human to me?

So does that means you don't think a lion can fall in love with a lamb?
. . . I do not even know where to begin to question the logic behind that. Love in itself is tenuous and to imply that a predator could fall in love with its prey is frankly as ridiculous as suggesting that you would fall in love with your food.
