”

Glasses (グラッセス) is a supporting character in Obsolete Dream. He is a demon, Satanick and Lil's son, and Kiku's boyfriend. He also works as Sullivan's subordinate.

As a child, Glasses wore a white dress shirt with a buttoned vest and black ribbon tied around the collar. He also wore black shorts, white socks, and black boots with indigo soles. He did not have his signature black glasses.

Personality[]

Glasses exhibits a calm and down-to-earth persona, expressing either a nonchalant or displeased look. Though he acts civil, he tends to display obscene gestures such as pointing his middle finger or swearing; however, it seems he uses these as responses to things he disapproves of or is annoyed by, rather than an act of mere insolence. Glasses is a chain smoker ^[2] and workaholic. ^[3] He avoids thinking of anything else besides work when he is busy. ^[3] If he had some free time, he would be spend it by relaxing indoors. ^[3]

763 — *Glasses' demeanor varies depending on the person he is with.*

Glasses gets easily angered and bothered by those he finds irritating, an example being his father Satanick who frequently teases him. Glasses is said to be in a rebellious phase and view Satanick and his mother Lil as "playboys." ^[4] However, Glasses used to be on good terms with his father when he was younger, ^[5] implying he had a change in nature at some point. Being Satanick’s son, Glasses has as much potential as Licorice in terms of strength, but not much of his power is shown since he does not like to fight. ^[6]

Glasses is described as a "shit-virgin" ^[7] and expresses a softer and gentler side to those he likes, such as his girlfriend Kiku. He easily blushes in her presence and stutters when speaking to her.

Glasses enjoys sweets, ^[8] specifically things such as shortcake. He also likes whipped cream. ^[6] He enjoys reading books about love, dating, and how to make love work as well. When reading one of his father's books, he hurriedly stopped, surprised by its content. ^[9] He gets enough sleep during the night. ^[3]

Background[]

Glasses is the only son to his parents Satanick and Lil, and thus, the only legitimate heir. ^[10] During his childhood, he was an honest and sweet kid. ^[3] He also used to get along well with his father, but this does not seem to be the case anymore. After he grew up and began to rebel, Glasses realized how bad his parents were and ran away from home. ^[11] At some point, Glasses "went down the wrong path" ^[7] and began working as Sullivan's subordinate. Glasses lives near the office of the company Sullivan and him work for. ^[12] When not at his residence, he lives in a currently unnamed part of Castle Town. ^[12]
