Falcio is a human adventurer who arrived in Yuriba in May 2002 and is one of the few males on the island. Cursed by the Nyanniichuan waters, he can occasionally be seen wandering in the form of a young woman. He can sometimes be found in the Toshiba Market, working but always open to greet those who stop by and have a friendly conversation. Italian by birth, this 23 years old man is known to speak at least four languages nearly perfectly but a soft Italian accent and the misunderstanding of most slangs sometimes give away the fact that he’s not from any English speaking country.

History
Born in the Italian sacred city of Assisi in 1985 from a well-off family, his life was ordinary for a short period. Falcio began adventuring when he was just 5. At first he took it as a game but things became harder day by day and eventually, he decided to quit studies to become a journeyman at the age of 14. As his desire of fighting evil grew stronger, Falcio started cooperating with Italian Police, at first to disrupt at least dark cults of humans supporting the daemonic force he quested against but eventually, he began investigating on other matters as well, by his own initiative. After the rise of islamic terrorism in 2001, Falcio began addressing himself on international matters other than magic dungeons; his contacts within worldwide police provided him with several means of contributing to the fight against all sorts of criminality – so much that after heavily pestering Italian mafia he had to change his name and nationality at age 16. At the age of 17 he was examined by a military corp for his stealth talents but his low skills coupled with a general interest for aviation got him hooked up in aviation until at the age of 18 when he was appointed 2nd Lieutenant and ‘Pilota ad Honorem’ in the Italian Air Force so that he could start serving in an independent force both as fighter pilot and commando. Dungeons exploration and military operations kept happening simultaneously until at the age of 19 Falcio finally completed the quest from where everything had started. However, the rampaging terrorism and it's communist allies called him to keep fighting in the military for what he considers right; which he kept doing until March 2008, time in wich he retired to finally settle in Yuriba. He now keeps going against those evils by writing articles on the things he experienced.
Yuriban Life
In May 2002 after a long journey, Falcio decided to take a vacation somewhere calm and peaceful. His travel agent pointed out Yuriba as a newly built village for tourists so the adventurer was happy to go there on a break, and also because he had to stay away from Italy and hide from the mafia for a while. At the age of 16, Falcio's life on the island began; he wasn't told about the peculiarity of the island so in the first two days he disguised himself as a girl and claimed to be named Falcia. He gave up his disguise very quickly and after spending two weeks in Yuriba he left the island but the relaxation he could find in that place and the possibility of making friends without having to fear losing them any day made him wish to come back after a pair of months and visit as often as possible even without actually living on the island.
At the age of 17 he made friends with Ruri and eventually the two became lovers. Ruri shortly thereafter married Ryuune and Keikero in a polygamous relationship. Even though Falcio and Ruri never officially broke up, their bond became weaker and the girl never liked the fact that her boyfriend became a military.
It in company of Ruri, that, at the age of 17, Falcio accidentally fell in the Nyanniichuan cursed spring; even if later on he tried to remove the curse, it somehow came back after 24 hours, condemning Falcio to live with it forever.
Around his 18th birthday, Falcio casually encountered the neko-jin Kizzy; after spending about a year together, the two took a liking to each other and were partners for several months. A few months before turning 20, Falcio finally completed his main quest and defeated the dark force that had brought him to take on such a life. Yet no matter how much he'd have wanted to boast about it to his lover and tell her that from then on he'd have far more time to spend with her, Kizzy never appeared to him; even though she's known to occasionally still wander in the island, the two never met again.
While still hoping to see Kizzy again, in September 2005 he met Ami and Emi with whom he soon became best friends. Even if Ami and Falcio seemed to be romantically interested in one other, Ami eventually preferred other girls to him, plus, she began visiting the village very rarely so Emi soon surpassed her as Falcio’s best friend. Emi got married to Mia in October 2005 so the relationship between her and Falcio remained mostly one of friendship for a long time. After two years, he realised that he loved Emi like no one else before; The relation of Mia and Emi eventually started to fall apart and, despite Falcio’s efforts to make the two get along again, it ended in January 2008.
Two months later, Falcio and Emi, still felt deeply in love with one other and decided to get married and live together. Despite the controversy arised by a heterosexual marriage happening on the island, their union had the approval of all of their friends and of Jessica Alrlirk, the priestess that married them. Feeling that the countless battles were making a dent in his mental sanity, Falcio retired from the military and bought a japanese house were to live with Emi and the daughter she had with Mia, Alice Toshiba. In respect for the traditions of the island, he gave up his last name to take Emi’s: Toshiba. Falcio’s new occupations are taking care of the house, help Emi managing her shop, the Toshiba Market, and write, indipendently, articles and essays, mostly against the crimes of the People’s Republic of China.
Personality
Kind and shy, Falcio is easily embarrassed but doesn't ever mind talking to people or showing newcomers around. Being a boy in a village of lesbians seems to make him feel some kind of inferiority complex, so he avoids crowded places and never takes part in conversations if not invited. Apparently calm and simple minded, Falcio actually hides a deep and complicated personality that is at times very difficult to follow. Even if he has an unlimited amount of stories he can tell and knowledge to share, he usually keeps quiet unless else is needed but he does seem happy whenever someone caring listens to all the things he'd have to say to the world or find him trustworthy enough to ask him for insights. When in company of more than one interlocutor he never just ignores one or more of them to focus on whom he finds more interesting and will always try to act as conjunction between all of the present parties to make no one feel excluded even if then his naturally low charisma often causes him to get cut off by the conversation and feel too shy to talk again unless addressed to. The only thing Falcio doesn’t seem shy in talking about are politics and other morality related matters, in fact he will usually struggle to propagandize his extremely solid ethic when he feels that unjust things are being said, at times to the point of resulting in annoyance. Specifically, he flames out when he hears that something bad is being said about western armed forces or police, since being hated by those same people he served and protected with his former job still makes him suffer terribly.
Romantic identification
Identifying himself as monoamorous, Falcio doesn’t seem to ever take any romantical interest in anyone except his wife and doesn't have a very developed social life either; he’ll keep loyal to Emi even while accepting her polyamorous style, loving her too much to actually feel attracted to other women. While never ignoring the affection of others, he never feels others to be more than friends to him.
Curse Issues
As much as Falcio tries to be in his true form most of the times, he sometimes wanders around in his cursed female form; occasionally he does that with some particular purpose. When someone meets him in his altered form he acts as nothing is abnormal, but if asked he never lies about his nature and will immediately point it out if necessary. Falcio dislikes it when people prefers his female body over his natural form because to him it is like saying that only appearances matter; of course he doesn't blame homosexual females for preferring his female body so he’ll still keep that to himself. Even in Female form, Falcio considers himself a heterosexual man so he prefers to be a man with the woman he loves.
Notable People
- Emi: She is Falcio's wife and the only woman he truly loves. After divorcing from Mia, she chosen Falcio as her new partner and gave him her last name when they finally got married, on what is most likely the only heterosexual marriage to have ever took place in Yuriba.
- Alice Toshiba: Born from Emi and Mia, she’s now Falcio’s step-daughter, whose needs come before everything else to him.
- Ami: This girl has been Falcio’s girlfriend for a short time but due to her rare presence on the island, Falcio could never really love her as much as Emi. She’s still considered as Falcio and Emi’s best friend and is the only person on the island that they will consider as more than a friend.
- Kizzy: A neko-jin girl, the sister to Excel and T'Larin. She and Falcio had been in love for about a year before she started withdrawing from social life. Falcio's sentiments for her have apparently cooled down though he still thinks of her like a friend.
- Ruri: The first girlfriend Falcio ever had; he soon realized that her love was merely a desire for one more companionship even if his own feelings were sincere.
- Amberlee: An elven friend whose company is appreciated by Falcio. Even if he considers her as the most beautiful woman he ever met, he sees her just as a friend despite the attentions Amberlee has for him sometimes.
