Sullivan

Sullivan (サリヴァン) is a character from Obsolete Dream. He is Kurotsuno's father and works under Yagi.

Physical Description
Sullivan has medium-length dusty lime-green hair. His eyes, like Kurotsuno's, are bright yellow with black scleras. He wears a black suit and tie with black Oxfords. His horns are similar to Kurotsuno's left horn. They form a sort of zigzag pattern and are gray with three black stripes on them.

Personality
Sullivan seems to be very childish at times and is also stated to be a big crybaby. As shown in chapter 4 of Obsolete Dream, he is quick to cry when Kurotsuno tells him to leave and when Glasses drags him away after being rejected by Kurotsuno herself.

He is furthermore very loving towards his daughter, and easily cries when she is cruel to him. It should be noted, however, that he continues to call Kurotsuno, "Olivia" despite her change in species and her distaste for this.

It seems he also can be very violent and often gets into confrontations with Gyakuten as seen in the Deep Kiss mini-comics. Hanten has stated that "he ain't got the best temper either," which supports this fact and is a trait that he shares with his daughter. An older illustration of him also includes the text "helicopter parenting," hinting more at this side of him.

Sullivan has asthma due to an ulcer, as his profile states. He does not like alcohol, specifically sake.

Background
Not much is known about Sullivan's past. It is notable, however, that he used to wear a red tie instead of a black one in the past. His introduction on the Obsolete Dream page also mentions that he always wears mourning clothing, furthermore hinting at his past.

In Mogeko Castle, Yonaka Kurai can find a note on the ground that is strongly implied to be written by Sullivan as a human, as it says, "I love you, Olivia..... - Papa."

Kurotsuno
Kurotsuno is Sullivan's daughter, who she has a particularly bad relationship with. He, instead of calling her with her current name, chooses to call her by her past name "Olivia," something that triggers a particularly negative reaction from her and usually leads to violent actions toward him. Despite such mistreatment of him, Sullivan ceaselessly tries to patch their relationship.

As a result, Sullivan worries about Kurotsuno and their relationship. He is also concerned about her daily consumption of chocolate and sweets. Furthermore, in one illustration, he is shown chasing his daughter about her having to eat her vegetables.

Notable is that in Obsolete Dream chapter 5, Kurotsuno's best friend Hanten tells Sullivan, "... if you keep hesitating, [Kurotsuno] really IS going to hate you." This strongly implies that Kurotsuno does not truly despise her father. This is further supported by an event in Obsolete Dream chapter 7 when Kurotsuno visits her father in the hospital after he fainted despite her grievances with him.

Kurotsuno's resentment for her father seems to be traceable to their relationship when she still went by the name "Olivia." During Deep-Sea Prisoner's 23rd drawing live stream, Deep-Sea Prisoner stated,"Back when Kurotsuno was a human, her family relationship wasn’t too great. Her father became just a bit too strict. And while he wasn’t the scary type, he was kinda overprotective. So after becoming a demon, Kurotsuno's frustrations pent up all at once."

Sullivan is oblivious to this. He does not understand why Kurotsuno acts the way she does, or why she does not want to be called by her former name.

Quotes
"To whomever should read this letter:

By the time you read this, I am surely gone.

This castle is dangerous.

You must find some means of escape.

If you cannot escape this place, you will never elude the Mogekos...

''They are persistent. Oddly, no matter where I hide, they're always come right for me.''

Hide, and hide, and hide...

They always find me soon enough...

''And I kill and kill them... but there's no end...''

They come one after another.

.....This is no more than a hypothesis, but perhaps they are.....

It seems they're back again.

I know it's futile, but I will run.

While I can still move...

I wanted to say a final goodbye to my daughter...

I'm sorry I've failed as a father...

I love you, Olivia.....

– Papa" – Letter found in Mogeko Castle
