[hider=Akira Lao] Sorry it took a while. Here. Have a unashamedly fabulous and outspoken boy. [i]WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME? WHAT DO THEY PREFER TO BE CALLED?[/i] "I'm Akira Lao. ITs Thai and Japanese, in case you are confused" Akira Lao. [u]HOW ARE THEY BEST RECOGNIZED IN A CROWD?[/u] "Your angry that I wear this skirt better then you girl." Bright and multicolored hair and a very punk look would draw your attention. Visual-Kei stuff, japanese rock accessories and a overtly feminine everything. In short, they stand out. Akria is Thai and Japanese, so his skin is a little darker and more tanned naturally. He is known to straight up crossdress when the mood strikes him. (Hint, ITs often.) [u]WHAT IS A STRANGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING THEM? HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER SEE THEMSELVES?[/u] "Look. I don't care. You are wrong." Cold, Standoffish and confrontational. Someone who can be almost a bit aggravating in their refusal to back down from a conflict, verbal or physical. They are very in your face and opinionated. Akira doesn’t see it that way, she just sees it as her duty to stand up for what she believes in. [u]WHERE DID THEY GROW UP? WHERE DO THEY FEEL AT HOME?[/u] "This place is a fucking dumpsterfire" They were born right there in town. But it never felt like home. He always felt she stood out as a kid, and her Parents didn’t make it any easier on him. He moved to LA after his brother got into a ugly fight with their dad about how he treated Akira. His mother had allready stopped talking to him by then. He doesn't have a place she feels at home, not LA, not Duskwick. He is a restless soul, forever drifting. [u]WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES?[/u] "I have no one. I need, nobody" It was their older brother, now they don't really have any people they consider close. Their parents refuses to acknowledge his existence. [u]WHAT IS THEIR PROFESSION, SKILL OR LIFESTYLE? WHAT DO THEY THINK THEIR STRENGTHS ARE? WHAT ARE THEIR ACTUAL STRENGTHS? [/u] "Let me hook you up" Akira is a social fixer of short. He worked as a bartender at one of Los Angeles most popular alt-rock hangouts and learned a lot about how to read people. After a while, he was moves to be a sort of a club host, hooking people up with all manners of things. From contacts, to less illicit goods. Akira thinks his main strength lies with the way he can can handle anyone regardless of their attitude towards him. His strength is really in making people listen to him, and actually steer them towards something more beneficial then what they initially wanted from him. [u]WHAT ARE THEIR FEARS, FLAWS AND SECRETS?[/u] "I am flawless..." Akira is terrified of being alone. Especially now that his brother is dead. He goes to lengths to attract people to hang with him, something that has and will no doubt be exploited in the future. He has dreams of being lost in the woods, chasing a setting sun and being enveloped in cold, isolating darkness. [i]WHAT DO THEY WANT MOST? WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY NEED?[/i] "I..: I don't need anything." They want to bury their brother. And get out of this damn ghost town. What they really need is somebody who actually care, and who will anchor them. People who isnt after his contacts, or a favor. Who enjoy him for him, who doesn’t look at him as if he was a leper or a object of fascination. IF YOUR CHARACTER COULD HAVE ANY SUPERNATURAL ABILITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? "I just want to be to others, what my brother was to me" To shine like the sun, to draw all eyes to him and make them fawn and fall for him. [i]WHY ARE THEY HERE IN DUSKWICK? WHAT IS THEIR OPINION OF THE STRANGE RUMORS? [/i] "This place was ALWAYS wierd" They are there to bury their brother, who was the only person who stood up for them and who was there for them as a kid. [i]HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS CHARACTER CHANGE AND DEVELOP?[/i] "I.. I don't know" Grow more comfortable in himself and dealing with the loss of his brother, growing more mature and empathic as a result. [i]PITCH A SMALL SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO YOUR CHARACTER.[/i] "WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!?" Finding out his parents know something about the entire situation, something they had kept hidden from him and that was directly involved with his brothers accident. [/hider]
