CHARACTER BIOS
OLD MAN MEEN
Role: Veteran, Survivor, Keeper of Unfinished History
Alignment: Good
Old Man Meen is one of the foundational figures of The Lost Lives Arc. In his youth, he served as an American military veteran during World War II and was deployed to Japan. Though disciplined and capable, his service exposed him to events far beyond ordinary warfare.
During his deployment, Old Man Meen encountered Nima Rekrap, a terrifying supernatural entity. The encounter nearly cost him his life. Realizing he could not defeat what stood before him, Old Man Meen fled Japan by helicopter, escaping moments before certain death. This experience haunted him for decades and became the unspoken reason he never returned.
Unbeknownst to him, a relationship he had formed during the war resulted in a child. That child was Takahashi.
In modern times, Old Man Meen returns to Japan alongside Black Bullet and White Knife. During a confrontation involving Nima Rekrap, he reunites with the woman from his past and discovers Takahashi is his son. The revelation is quiet, emotional, and life-altering. For Old Man Meen, the reunion reframes his escape—not as abandonment, but survival—and gives him peace at last.
TAKAHASHI
Role: Quiet Hero, Living Bridge Between Eras
Alignment: Good
Takahashi is the biracial son of Old Man Meen and a Japanese woman he never knew. Raised solely by his mother, Takahashi grew into a calm, disciplined, and principled man. Though unaware of his father’s identity, he carried a sense of inherited strength and purpose.
During The Lost Lives Arc, Takahashi becomes involved in the events surrounding Nima Rekrap. The truth of his lineage is revealed during the arc’s final phase, when his mother recognizes Old Man Meen during a confrontation in a hotel. The recognition is mutual, and Takahashi learns that his father fled Japan not by choice, but necessity.
Takahashi’s presence symbolizes reconciliation between past and present. He stands as proof that even histories marked by fear can end in understanding.
BLACK BULLET
Role: Veteran Officer, Tactical Leader
Alignment: Good
Black Bullet is a highly skilled law enforcement officer and former military veteran. Calm under pressure and deeply principled, he is trusted with missions requiring precision and restraint. During The Lost Lives Arc, he operates independently—not as an alter ego—but as his own person.
He is partnered with White Knife, and together they are dispatched to Japan for a sensitive mission tied to unusual activity. Along the way, they rescue Old Man Meen and allow him to accompany them.
Black Bullet’s leadership, discipline, and sense of duty anchor the group. Though he meets his end later in the arc, his actions leave a lasting imprint on the universe and quietly shape the future of the franchise.
AMINA PARKER
Role: Resilient Survivor, Moral Center
Alignment: Good
Amina Parker exists in this arc as a real individual, separate from any later manifestations. During this period, she experiences a profound loss of identity and memory, leaving her disoriented and alone. Through perseverance, she rebuilds her life, finding work and stability.
Amina is compassionate, strong-willed, and deeply human. Her relationships—particularly with Bob Charlie Lee Johnson—highlight her ability to see goodness beyond appearances.
During the arc’s final phase in the Middle East, Amina’s journey comes to a quiet end. Her life, though unseen by the protagonist, later becomes foundational to the formation of identities within the main series.
WHITE KNIFE
Role: Loyal Partner, Tactical Support
Alignment: Good
White Knife is Black Bullet’s trusted partner and fellow officer. Less outspoken but equally capable, he excels in support roles and strategic coordination. His loyalty to Black Bullet is unwavering, and he consistently places the mission and the safety of others above himself.
White Knife’s presence ensures balance within the team. His calm demeanor and reliability make him indispensable throughout the arc.
NIMA REKRAP
Role: Former Supernatural Entity, Redeemed Ally
Alignment: Good (Formerly Dark)
Nima Rekrap first appears as a terrifying supernatural being during World War II, confronting Old Man Meen in Japan. At that time, he is nearly unstoppable.
Over time, Nima Rekrap loses his supernatural abilities and chooses to align himself with the heroes. His transformation marks one of the arc’s most significant themes: change and redemption.
Living alongside the group in the Middle East, Nima Rekrap eventually passes away, no longer a monster, but a being who sought peace and belonging.
ANIMA REKRAP
Role: Rival, Survivor, Speaker for Herself
Alignment: Neutral → Good
Anima Rekrap is Amina Parker’s primary rival. Intelligent, assertive, and deeply independent, she becomes romantically involved with Bob Charlie Lee Johnson, sparking tension between the two women.
After a serious accident, Anima undergoes rehabilitation and emerges stronger. She later relocates to New York, where she becomes a public speaker advocating for women’s rights.
Anima Rekrap is the final living figure from the Middle East household, carrying the memory of everyone who came before her.
BOB CHARLIE LEE JOHNSON
Role: Gentle Heart, Unexpected Catalyst
Alignment: Good
Bob Charlie Lee Johnson is kind, friendly, and sincere. Though often underestimated, his warmth draws people toward him. His relationship with Amina Parker is based on trust and kindness rather than appearances.
Later, he forms a bond with Anima Rekrap, unintentionally becoming the source of rivalry between the two women. Bob Charlie Lee Johnson’s life ends quietly during the arc, but his impact on others remains profound.
KNUCKLEHEAD
Role: Loyal Friend, Moral Support
Alignment: Good
Knucklehead is physically imposing but gentle in nature. Though limited in mobility, his loyalty and kindness make him an essential part of the group. He supports Amina Parker during her most vulnerable moments and stands as a reminder that heroism takes many forms.
CLOSING CANON NOTE
The Lost Lives Arc is a story of unseen sacrifices, quiet courage, and lives lived beyond recognition. Though separate from the protagonist’s awareness, these characters form the emotional groundwork of the larger Amin Parker Series, proving that every life—known or unknown—matters.
