"You do not know what you are dealing with, child."

"Oh, I know exactly what I'm dealing with.

I'm dealing with another puppeteer.

I know your tricks.

You may have gotten Sakura and Yukika at one point, but I'm not an easy target!"

– Koto's encounter with Decay

Shiraishi Koto is a mischief-loving and adventure-seeking Out!Code created by Krimps (AKA TheTwichMan) which debuted in the beginning of VoidVerse.

Backstory[]

Koto lost his mother at the age of 5, meeting Sakura a little bit before that, and father at the age of 12. After his father's death, he started living with older sister, who was 17 at the time, later on, they moved to Turkey under the fake identities of Kris and Amber in an attempt to live a better life. He then fell into the Underground shortly after in an attempt to save a kitten on top of Mt. Ebott.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

His silhouette is slender and tall as well as flexible and athletic, making him agile and easy to lose track of. His hair is long and straight, the color being a medium brown. His right eye is a bright green while his left eye is a bright orange. He also has a pair of orange tails with white tips at the end, similar to those of a red fox as well as orange fox ears at the top of his head, both of which he hides in public, sometimes even when in the Underground.

Koto tends to wear a red sweater with a black shirt underneath, paired up with a pair of black jeans that contain a couple of tears, and a pair of dark blue sneakers with white shoelaces and white base, replacing the red sweater for a brown, fur trimmed coat in winter, which he also tends to follow up with a red scarf that is roughly tied around his neck. He also has a brown cross-body bag in which he stores most of his possessions.

For his school uniform, he wears a buttoned dark red suit with a white collared shirt underneath with a navy blue tie paired with royal blue trousers and black flat shoes.

Personality[]

Koto's a mischief-loving and often deceiving person, usually shown to be cocky and careless as well as excited to spar, with a hint of issues with controlling his temper.

While it is true that he's often cocky, it is only when he's sure he's safe, like in the Omega Timeline or VV's Main Timeline, places where he knows that if he's in danger, his friends will help him. Though, in a place where he can't reach his friends, he's often afraid of fighting to the death, especially if it's against someone he doesn't know.

Koto's actually quite fragile inside while being unable to properly express his love. Due to never properly experiencing it after his mother's death, he tries to make up for it by reading romance novels to learn more about this beautiful as well as complex feeling. And while he does so, he fakes his love towards his partner, hoping that it's enough.

Relationships[]

Lost!Dust[]

Lost and Koto knew each other for a long time, meeting when Koto just fell into the Underground.

They both enjoy a good laugh and tend to spar with each other, Lost always coming out on top, which resulted in Koto making a bet with him, stating he'll defeat Lost before he dies.

Lost is also the main person that keeps bailing Koto out of trouble which he's prone to getting into.

To this day, Koto remembers his bet, not knowing if Lost himself still remembers

Marc[]

Marc was the first person Koto ever met in the Underground, trusting each other with everything.

They both used to work together in Grillby's as co-workers, using the bar as their main hangout spot.

After Marc's death, Koto swore to avenge Marc, creating a makeshift grave for him.

Elias[]

Together with Chara, Koto reluctantly serves as a protector for Elias while secretly searching for his parents to hopefully return their child.

Other than that, Koto doesn't know what to think of Elias, he forced himself a fake confession for Elias, but also honestly wants the best for Elias, but more as a friend.

Pale[]

Pale and Koto used to be sworn enemies due to Pale believing Koto will let out Infinite out of his cell, but then they started to be on friendly terms, seeing each other as pals rather than enemies.

Char[]

Char and Koto met in Grillby's, where Koto asked to sit next to her, resulting in the two of them starting to talk with each other, they exchanged contacts and then started to hangout as friends.

Soon enough, they started dating, but broke up after a week, agreeing that they don't see each other that way, becoming friends instead.

Later on, Koto started calling her "Charcoal" in a teasing way.

FD!Chara[]

Grillby's seemingly being a great way to find a new friend, Koto met Chara there and instantly became friends.

After Koto found Elias, they both decided to take up the role of his guardians, which forced Koto to make himself confess to her, she accepted, making them officially partners.

While their relationship was an act on his side so far, he started showing honest love towards her, as she's the first one to show honest care

Blue[]

Koto met Blue when in being a Deltarune timeline.

They were both acquaintances, after Koto returned to the Omega Timeline, he haven't seen Blue again.

He wishes to see him again, maybe have a spar with him.

Red[]

They met in the True Lab, after enough persuasion, Red agreed for a spar with Koto, warning him that she's rusty.

Seeing Red fighting ignited a fire of inspiration for Koto, making him see Red as a role model due to her motivation and care for others.

Phantom Papyrus[]

Papyrus was obsessed with shipping, and Koto being interested in love stories, they both teased Lost about his relationship with Red, that is before he was teased about his relationship with Chara by Papyrus and a couple of other friends, in the end, Koto and Chara did start dating (it's unknown if all that teasing and shipping was related to it).

Safe to say, he hopes to joke around with him again.

Care[]

The both of them are good friends, being more comfortable with insulting each other in a teasing way. But in the end, they'd protect each other nonetheless.

Zero[]

Koto dislikes Zero and his way of disregarding his ambitions to be a hero.

He knows Zero is right in a way, no matter how strong you are, SAVING everyone can be impossible, but Koto believes motivation is more important than strength, and actively tries to prove it to him.

Other than that, he thinks he's a good sparring partner.

Sosuke Shizuki[]

Shizuki and Koto don't interact much, their relationship being mostly business related.

Shizuki helped Koto with clearing Yukika's criminal history, after which they started to become somewhat acquainted with each other.

Ryuna Yoka[]

Yoka's and Koto's energy are really similar to each other, hence they both tend to spar with each other.

They used to both represent the school in kendo tournaments.

After Sakura's disappearance, Yoka was slightly suspicious of Koto, but still decided to stand by his side, claiming Sakura and Koto are too close for him to have hurt her.

Shiraishi Yukika[]

His older sister, and only remaining family, of course, after their father's death, their relationship wasn't the best, resulting in Koto often being harmed by his sister both verbally and physically

One day, Yukika apologized to him in Waterfall, and he forgave her, meaning they'd become much better siblings.

Still, in the back of his mind he fears her wrath.

Kanato Sakura[]

Sakura and Koto knew each other since they were 4, always doing everything together.

Once they got separated at the age of 11 they'd talk with each other through the internet, but that'd stop once Koto fell into the Underground

He deeply cares for Sakura, but it could be mainly due to the fact that if one dies, the other one will have a much more difficult life, although, he would prefer for her to die first, so that he'd be the one burdened instead of her since she's too kind to deserve for her dreams to be crushed because of something that's not her fault

After Voidverse (Season 1)[]

After receiving the teleportation device from Lost, Koto used it to search for a way to return to the AU he started to treat like his home, where his sister was in, after successfully doing so, he moved to Tokyo with his sister thanks to selling some of the new items Koto obtained in his adventures

After Voidverse (Season 2)[]

To be added.
