I somehow imagined a Demon Emperor would be a little more awe-inspiring.

He's got a fancy-pants WHITE SCHOOL UNIFORM.


Voice:
...Hey, how long are you gonna sleep for?
Tammy... Tammy!
...School's finished already.


Girl student:
...You had a good rest, didn't you? I'm so jealous. I can't sleep much lately because of these weird nightmares I've been having.
I'm gonna go home now. Later!


> There's only a few students in the classroom after school...

Suddenly, everything starts shaking, and one weird sound effect later, the sky turns purple and dramatic music starts playing!


Boy student's voice:
Wh-what's going on?!

Girl student's voice:
Eeek!!


Boy student:
Let's get out of here!


Girl student:
Eeek! Wh-wh-what's happening?!


Professor Theo:
HELP ME MARINAAAAA

Boy student:
Everything's weird outside!
It's pitch black, even though it's still daytime!

Girl student:
Wh-wh-wh-what should we do?!


> Class 2-D is in a panic.


Girl's voice:
Tammy!
You were in the classroom!


> Yumi Shirakawa from your class suddenly called out to you.

Yumi:
I've been looking for you!
I've got something I need to talk to you about, Tammy.
Listen... We're all trapped in the school!
Everything looks so weird outside, too. It's like the whole school has been sent into another world!
I've got a bad feeling about this. Something terrible's going to happen at this rate... No, never mind that!
We've gotta do something!
I don't think I'll be able to save everyone like this.
Please! Help me!
Help me save the school... save everyone!
Tammy, come with me!

> Will you go with Yumi?
> No

Yumi:
Oh, right... I guess you can't decide if I put you on the spot like that.
Go and see what's going on around the school.
But remember we don't have much time!


We get control here, so let's look at our stat layout.
Str: 5
Int: 2
Mag: 2
Stm: 5
Spd: 7
Lck: 3

Our most outstanding stats are Strength, Speed and Stamina, meaning that we can give and receive decent damage, and have the speed to make sure that we usually strike first. However, our character is also a complete retard, and we could do with a bit more Luck. Still, as it is, we've got a pretty good starting set for a main character, since we don't need to be able to use magic anyway.
