.hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT (.hack//DUSK)

Introduction

It's been four years since the .hackers known as Kite and Blackrose were banned from �The World�, never allowed to return. The pair are Legendary throughout all �The World� and were believed to have finished the final puzzle of the Massive Online Multiplayer Role Playing Game, thus completing a supposedly endless simulation. However, something deeper than merely completing the last puzzle happened, something that the CC Corporation doesn't want anybody to find out about. All that is known about the secret is its name: Twilight. In the present, CC Corporation is running a contest in which the two winners receive the limited characters; two that look exactly like Kite and Blackrose. Shuugo and Rena, brother and sister, win this contest and begin their quest into �The World�. As Shuugo and Rena begin their quest into �The World�, they meet a plethora of new people to interact with. When Rena, already skilled at the game, takes Shuugo to a newbie area, a warped monster appears. This monster, much stronger than whatever monsters are supposed to be there, easily kills Shuugo. As he drifts out of the world, he is met by Aura, a seemingly lifeless character who bestows the Twilight Bracelet to him. As he returns to help Rena he finds that a system administrator has already come to her aid. However, even he is unable to defeat the creature and as a last resort Shuugo uses this mysterious bracelet, using the attack data drain: the ability to re-write monsters data.

Character Biographies

Shuugo Kunisaki (Kite)

Although Shuugo's character in the world portrays that of a young child, he is a young, fairly self-efficient teenager in real life. He is the winner (along with his sister Rena) of the rare costumes contest. He holds the costum of Kite, a famous player from the earlier days of "The World", and was famed for his involvment in the mysterious "Twilight". Now Shuugo may be holding his own part in a repeat of same catastophe. His first day in "The World", Shuugo receives a very rare, high-level bracelet from a girl who identifies herself only as Aura. Using this bracelet, Shuugo can defeat nearly any enemy -- especially the strange monsters that are appearing which cannot be defeated by normal attacks. Shuugo is pretty shy, and he's not very motivated in the game. However, his sister Rena, who won the other rare costume, urges him on. With the aid of many extremely high level characters such as Balmung, an administrator, Shuugo must find the power to master the aptly named Twilight Bracelet, and end the disaster known only as Twilight.

Rena Kunisaki (Black Rose)

Rena is a avid member of "The World", and unlike Shuugo, she takes right to it. Since Rena's parents are divorced, and she lives away from the brother she loves, so she is very possessive of Shuugo. She holds the costume of Black Rose, the second exiled hacker whose account was rendered inoperable four years previously. However, Rena is no hacker, but she loves the freedom the game gives her, and she makes friends out of almost everybody she meets. She's a bit shy about her feelings, but its obvious how she feels about Shuugo. As far as her friends go, she looks up to Ouka as her master of sorts. Fortunately for her, her dedication allows her to level up and learn much faster than Shuugo, so she remains a powerful ally and friend.

Balmung

Balmung is an experienced administrator in the world, and a very high level character. He is first attracted to Shuugo's case when Shuugo's party is attacked by a high-level monster in a low-level zone. He is further attached to them when he learns that Aura gave him Twilight's Bracelet, and that it is the only way to defeat these rogue monsters. As an admin, he also learns that Shuugo's bracelet is more than just a trinket, and may hold the key to the destruction of "The World". Since he holds such a high level, he is able to observe Shuugo when he runs into these rogue monsters. Though he himself is unable to defeat them using even his most powerful attacks, he is able to learn more about the power of Twilight's Bracelet. But with the clock ticking, will Balmung to stop the inpending Twilight all be in vain?

Mireille

Mireille is a powerful sorceress who is immediately attracted by Shuugo's bracelet. She is an avid collector of all things rare, and she has an amulet or item that is fit for any situation. Her vast knowledge concerning spells and potions also comes in handy more than once. At first, she and Rena seem to have a problem with each other, but once it becomes clear that Mireille is interested in Shuugo ONLY for the bracelet, Rena accepts Mireille as a friend. She's fairly clumsy, and she can be pretty pathetic when she doesn't have other people with her, but she's still a worthy ally.

Ouka of Shinken

Ouka is a member of the Divine Right, a group that consists of the most powerful characters in "The World". She takes the form of a wolf, which she at first uses to observe Shuugo with. However, once they are attacked, she reveals herself and establishes herself as a member of their little group. She also becomes a friend and teacher to Rena, who admires her for her strength and motivation.
