The Lost | Last Station


Slots | 1/2 male OC slots filled and 0/2 female OC slots filled

GM | Genkai

Premise | A group of strangers embark on a strange journey, stopping at various stations, trying to find where the tracks finally come to an end.

| Kanda International University |

Our beginning setting will take place in the fictional university. Kanda International is well regarded as the top 9th international school globally. So it's one the best, but not the best. All students will be required to have an intermediate understanding of English as it spoken throughout campus. First years are housed on campus in dorms, encouraging those to mingle with their peers. From their second year, students are encouraged to have a level of independence and will be tasked with finding housing outside the institution. Students are also encouraged to get part-time jobs once in their third and fourth years, though they give exceptions to some second years, depending on the financial situation.

Speaking of finances, it is costly to attend KIU so many who attend come from some form of wealth but there are some who get by through loans and grants. Scholarships are not given out or accepted. Students can work on campus or off campus though most pay their way through their families, rather than foot the bill or even part of it, themselves. KIU offers small class sizes as well as cutting edge technology integrated into the campus and classrooms.

Right outside the school gates is the Kanda Station, a bustling train station that offers several shops and cafes to people coming and going. Kanda Station is beside the Kanda River and many commuters enjoy the nature that surrounds them among the contrast of the grey high rise buildings. From the station, one can go deeper into the heart of Tokyo and find many things to do.

| Rules |

- Don't hog the spotlight, be inclusive and respectful to all players and characters.

- Give an average of four paragraphs per post.

- Give a post every 4-5 days or so. There won't be a posting order or anything so just post when you're able and feels appropriate.

- Be active in the OOC, talk about the plot, suggest things, make small talk, have fun, debate why we exist, just be civil and chill.

- Romance is encouraged but to an extent, keep it PG and don't let it derail the progression of the story.

- Lastly, communicate any foreseeable delays or issues you may have so we as a group and I, as a GM can help.

| Character Creation |

Guidelines | Your characters will be in their fourth, third or second year at Kanda International University. They will in turn be 19-21 years old, depending on their year. Characters are encouraged to come from any background, provided their relocation to Tokyo, Japan is reasonable and realistic. Characters should be sociable and able to maintain healthy friendship. Characters who have a lot of emotional baggage or issues with making friends will not be accepted. This RP is meant to be light and lively. Lastly, you'll need an anime appearance within your CS, it cannot be hand-drawn or in black and white, it must be something we can easily look to and refer back in regards to your character's general appearance.

Once you submit your CS, I will review it and then give you the approval to post it in the other tab. Thank you!

Notes | So this OOC is a work in progress. I'll be adding to it over the next day or two. Feel free to ask questions or submit CS here in the meantime. I haven't GMed for a group in a while, much less back on the Guild so please be patient! Thanks guys.

@Genkai Is this full? If not, I'd like to drop interest in a female character.

@Shift Could you change either sarcastic or critical to something positive? Since right now you have two negative and two positive traits.

@ERode It wasn't going to be first come first serve on the basis there were a lot of folks interested in the interest check. Considering there's less interest now, I don't really see a need to give people a deadline and then I'd make my choice out of the pool of submissions. Submitted sheets have been coming in gradually and so far there hasn't been to step back and slow people down as I first anticipated. Given there's still a spot open for each gender right now, I'd say you're fine in putting a sheet together for me to take a look at.

History |
Sometimes, life’s a box of chocolates. Other times, it’s a can of worms. Sandy, however, thinks that most people try to live by keeping their cans and boxes permanently shut, to preserve all the pretty packaging. And that’s pretty dull.

Born the second daughter in a middle-class family, Sandy’s truancy and troublemaking started at an early age, not due to a call for attention towards negilient parents or because she had no friends at school, but because she was bored. Sometimes she’d skip classes and break into the school’s rooftop. Other times, she’d travel down alleyways and sidestreets on the way home, just because her parents told her not to. Once, she managed to sneak into a nightclub (during day, of course) through the back door, before the owner scared her off. Her small bits of rebellion never translated into anything truly dangerous or violent, and Sandy went through life as an otherwise average student. Her older brother described her as a baby bird once, flapping her wings even before she could truly fly.

Then she did fly. Her parents, after raising a son who looked to have a promising career in business, wholly approved of stepping into the next level and raising a daughter who could work internationally, and supported Sandy’s desire to go to an international school by paying her semi-exorbitant tuition. Her food and rooftopping blog (an eccentric combination to say the least, but she just calls it ‘lifestyle’), fuelled her more expensive tastes, and her budding adulthood gave her the full confidence to step into the nightclub (during night, this time) that she escaped from all those years back.

It wasn’t a big deal though. Definitely not as stylish as the top of a construction crane.

@Genkai Found the picture, read the other CS, and decided to go with it anyway. Hopefully they're not too similar despite both enjoying photography. But hey, great minds think alike, eh? @ERode

So naturally this plot draws me in ^.^
I will get a character up too! Hopefully I can snag a spot between all these other female characters.

Here's my sheet, I'm giving this a whirl! Ponyo is one of my favorite movies so the Ghibli films definitely have a warm place in my heart. I think this could be a lot of fun.

@ShwiggityShwah Well, they haven't even been online in five days now, so I'm sure there's some kind of good reason. Seems like they're usually very active on the site I don't think they'll be gone for too much longer.
