Chichester OVN 1 : The Beach ![Welcome To... Chichester OVN 1 : The Beach](https://t.vndb.org/cv/34/81734.jpg) **Aliases:** チチェスターへようこそ:ザ ビーチ **Developer:** Triority Interactive Novels **Release date:** May 13, 2019 **Platform:** Windows, Linux, macOS, Android **Language:** English **Rating:** 5.8/10 (avg, 4 votes) ## Description When everyone gets an invite from a mysterious person to "The Beach", on the unluckiest day of the year, the girls presume it's an invite to a private bathing area. Unfortunately, everyone ends up at a haunted bungalow and are forced to look for three parts of a sword before they are allowed to leave. ## Characters ### Protagonist The protagonist is a former software developer at an ailing games company. After his/her home town suffers a devastating terrorist attack, he/she is more or less blackmailed into joining The Phoenix Custodians, under the guise of being patriotic. Until other members of the Custodians, she/he cares deeply about the welfare of any opponents captures, and will often try to befriend them in order to gain any useful information. This doesn't endear him/her to almost everyone else, who regard the protagonist as an overbearing sanctimonious annoying do-gooder. This trait was evident during training and caused him/her to be assigned the mission to stop Grendel and tower, as it was deemed a suicide mission for the protagonist. The protagonist signed Grendel's "Friendship Agreement" more out of pity than anything else, and he/she realised that Grendel is lonely and doesn't have anyone to look up to. Unfortunately, not paying that much attention of what was written would soon be his/her downfall, as Grendel immediately latches onto her new "Best Friend". The protagonist is hoping (somewhat naively) to be able to get Grendel to see reason and leave The Council before she gets too deep into the organisation and ruins her life. Unlike Grendel, he/she realises how much danger she could face in her missions. The protagonist's problems don’t end with Grendel, her mother or The Unseen in general. His/her organisation "The Phoenix Custodians" is another source of trouble as he/she has to deal with fellow agents who would have no compulsion about killing Unseen people on sight; keeping his/her friendship with Grendel a secret and a boss who is indifferent to him/her and is either constantly sexually harassing her (or practically ignoring him). Add to the mix an inquisitive personal assistant with her own agena for the protagonist, and controlling parents, the protagonist's life is practically not his/her own. Continually fails his/her "Interrogation Exam", which is designed to gauge how ruthlessly an agent can be during interrogations. - **Gender:** Female - **Alias:** Footsie McFootstool - **Role:** Spy, Office Worker - **Engages in:** Unarmed Fighting, Mass Murder - **Subject of:** Sexual Harassment ### Autumn Shaw Waitress of the hotel that the protagonist and Grendel are staying at.

Embracing this creed early on in her life, and destined to become second in command of The Council Of The Unseen, she was destined for greatness, ruling the world with an iron fist and mercilessly crushing any dissent. At least that's what her parents expected. Unfortunately, reality is rather different. Whilst Grendel is megalomaniacal, her ideas for world domination are inept at best and at worst would cost her her life. Realising this, she aims to get the protagonist to join her, and together they would rule over everyone. Unfortunately for her, the protagonist isn't interested in anything like that. Grendel is a chronic kleptomaniac, with the protagonist a constant target. The protagonist, having signed (having not reading it properly) an extremely one-side "Friendship Agreement", Grendel regards anything and everything the protagonist owns as her own- including all money and cars. Grendel can be extremely clever and manipulative when needed. She can speak multiple languages (Japanese being one as that she can watch her favourite anime as it's meant to be - without subtitles), and is an expert in most of hand-to-hand combat as well trained in driving or flying most vehicles She expects to be constantly looked after by the protagonist, no matter the time of day. Grendel does like the protagonist and will stop at nothing to force him/her to join The Unseen - even if it means putting the protagonist's life in danger. She has no problem with blackmailing all and sundry (again, the protagonist being a frequent target), having learnt the art from her mother. Whilst Grendel is extremely wealthy (she has financial interests in both legal and illegal entities), she is also prone to falling for financial scams. Although she has a $1 million weekly allowance; personal chef and a whole slew of assistants, the protagonist surmises that she is extremely lonely. Hated both internally and externally due to her general attitude, ineptitude and position, she has few friends, and despite being class representative, she is generally scorned and bullied. Her father, takes little interest in helping her, believing it will toughen her up. She is afraid of aliens taking over the world before she does. This came about from watching an age-inappropriate late-night sci-fi horror film. Grendel's favourite TV program is the ultra-violent anime "Dr Not-Nice Against The World", and believes it is the best program ever made. Regularly watches marathon showings of it. - **Gender:** Female - **Hair:** Pink, Twin Tails, Waist Length+, Blunt Bangs - **Body:** Slim, Pale, Kid - **Personality:** Lazy, Mischievous - **Engages in:** Planning, Unarmed Fighting, Theft - **Role:** Wealthy - **Eyes:** Pink, Tareme ### Hebkya One half of "The Screaming Vocalists" black ops unit, and a person least suitable to the job.
