not a problem I don't foresee anything happening that would prevent my participation. Also, I kinda preemptively made up a character so here he is. ^_^ [hider=Akira Ishikawa] [b]Name[/b] Akira Ishikawa [b]Age[/b] 18 [b]Appearance[/b] [img] https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f6/9d/fe/f69dfef9be8441e75f30065018e95a7a--cute-anime-guys-anime-boys.jpg [/img] [b]Personality[/b] Akira has always been a fun-loving individual. Doing his best to help others and especially when it comes to Duel monsters. His deck reflects his want to help and protect others. Though he does carry his own dream of becoming a professional Duelist and is always working toward that goal. [b]History[/b] Akira grew up in Hyacinth with his parents Himiko and Tetsu, His parents own a small mom and pop game shop and were always working with Akira right alongside them. One day, when Akira was around 10, a young boy had his deck stolen and the only way to get it back was for someone to beat the thief in a duel. Akira ran home grabbed his father's deck and his duel disk and ran back to the place where the bully was waiting. The match was a tough one and just when things seemed like they couldn't get worse. Akira managed to perform a Soul Draw. His monster came forth and gave him just what he needed to beat the bully and return the younger boy's deck. When his parents heard what had happened his father was overjoyed and told Akira to keep the deck as it seemed to be doing more in his hands than it would be sitting on the shelf at the shop. Akira has since wanted to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional duelist learning what he can from the duelists that come through the shop. Even dabbling in some of the other dueling styles out there when he can, though he prefers standing duels to the others. Akira finally approached his family after a lot of thinking about wanting to leave the shop and go out to become a duelist his parents weren't sure they wanted that life for him but begrudgingly gave up on it after he reminded them about the event with the Soul Draw.
