Biography
Not much is known about Araiguma, aside his relationship with NJ32power and his small fame on TikTok. He used to work at a paper mill in Canada until the Seven-Hour War happened. His girlfriend died during the event, which drove him to both deep depression and hatred towards the Combine and swore to avenge the love of his life. Upon hearing of UndeadShadow64's return, he saw this as a opportunity to get revenge and joined the Resistance. Araiguma was one of the few survivors of the destruction of Earth. He became a high-ranking member upon arriving on The Island ARK. After ascending, everyone except UndeadShadow64 arrived on the Aberration ARK. There, while waiting for their missing friend, they found evidence of X123Mini456 who was here alongside with Hakuyo, who had become the Overseer of the ARK. When they faced him, he was crushed to death by one of his tentacles. When his friends arrived on Ravaged Earth, they held a funeral for their fallen brother.
