Definitely sticking with my pigeon chaser, though I might make her an aspiring composer/song writer rather than a poet.

*fistpump*

Great to see this getting started, but I can't decide if I want to make a new character or if I want to give Reiji another shot. Decisions, decisions.

@Sarcelle Renard

I think maybe a new character, that's what I'm going to do.

I'm wondering if I should bring Shizuka back. I sort of feel like the character's run her course.

@Stern Algorithm

I could watch Shizuka be Shizuka for 10 seasons and never get tired of her, you really created something special with her.

@The Survivor Approved!

[Dolerman]

@Verdaux can you create a location profile for your cafe so I can add it to the the city?

[Dolerman]

Just as another rule of the RP, this is a SEQUEL not a REBOOT, so internal continuity is still expected. Anything that happened in the previous seasons are apart of this season's history. Also returning characters must stay the same (apart from new jobs or houses) you cant make a returning character 3 inches shorter or suddenly have an ex-wife for example.

Also feel free to 'employ yourself' at any of the locations as your place of work as long as it doesn't get in the way of another character.

For anyone who is interested in my characters, Jack will be taking a backseat but will still pop up as an event organiser, Rosanna will be returning as side character. And my new main character will be a guest from Another RP which will add Neo-City as in the same universe as shine city. It will be located in the neighboring land to shine county and is based on Chicago, New Jersey and Paris.

New Guy

Name: Fenton Kelly (P.I.)

Age: 28

Appearance:


Height: 5'9

Weight:(161 lbs)

Party Trick: Can pull perfect donuts with his car.

Profession: Private Investigator

Likes: Chess, Smoking, Whiskey, Mecha Figurines, Jazz Bars, Classy Escorts

Dislikes: bright lights, noodles, guns, corruption, new jersey, ex wives, pimps

Personality: Fenton is very straight to the point and can seem cold and distant sometimes, especially when working. His sleeping pattern and drinking habits make him very moody during the day time. He has a strong sense of justice but also is a man of many legal vices such as gambling and women. He is known for having an almost non existent temper although he always seems mildly irritated.

Backstory: Fenton was always going to be a cop, he had a strong sense of authority even as child, who would always dictacte the rules of every game they would play and make sure everyone stuck to them. His career in the police force was pretty mundane to begin with, and he almost quit on two separate occasions due to boredom. But after sticking with it he finally came upon a case he couldn't take his mind off. The murder of a cult leader in his own mansion. The details of the incident were very strange with many witness reports alluding to something supernatural at play. The police commission quickly buried the case and listed the murder as unsolved, which angered Fenton. He then went on to become a private investigator and joined the Neo-City detective club. Where he would only take up cases that interested him, including the supernatural.

On the orders of his superiors in the detective club he has been ordered to take some time off before his next case. He didn't want to travel too far, so he decided to head to shine city for some well deserved rest and relaxation. However he wasn't able to stay inactive for long and has already set up his own private eye service on the edge of shine junction, hoping to solve whatever mysteries he can in this lovely city that has almost zero criminal activity.

[Dolerman]

Hey I sorta came across your profile by accident, but I'd be wondering if you'd be interested in this RP?

@Siaya Dragalorn

[Dolerman]

@Delta44 Ahem....Co boss, you arent allowed to re-write old character's backstories. You can add details but the continuity must stay consistent, if you want to try different backstories and ideas you are welcome to make a new character :)

[Delta44]

@Dynamo Frokane When I said "re-written" I didn't mean I was going to change anything in the past - it's more of an update to what she's like now ;) Plus I gave reference to the older sheet at the bottom so nobody would miss out on what I hadn't put in. Nothing about her history has changed, it's just been 're-worked' ^-^ Though if need be I can make the appropriate edits :P

[Shin]

My initial post is finished and geez, I'm wondering if I should do a TLDR for it. It's MASSIVE. Easily my longest post ever, though it helps show what kind of person Nat is. I'll post it once the IC is officially on the road.

[Delta44]

@Shin *Looks at words* Bah! That's nothing, mortal! And you call yourself a-

*Looks at characters* Oh dear lawd! :O My longest post was only like 13,000 characters and 2000 words :P

Main Character

Kyle Parker

Name: Kyle Parker
Age: 23
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 226 lbs
Likes: Gaming, computers, metal, chillstep, spirituality, weed, work, a woman's eyes (he's a sucker for them)
Dislikes: large groups of people, cleaning, drama, horror, universities
Party Trick: Has surprisingly strong and dexterous feet (example: could catch a thrown ball and throw it back just as hard)

Profession: Works as an Apprentice Optician in a small glasses boutique called "An Eye for Fashion"

Bio/Personality: Kyle is a fierce individual, a passionate young man with the determination and confidence to back it up, but with enough understanding to process taken information and give a proper response, often with unexpected wisdom. Because of this his demeanor and low even toned voice can often relax people and a smile could brighten up anyone's day. There are times that he has bouts of anger, but more often than not he'll only get mad if someone really messes up.

Kyle originally came to Japan from America to study in university, after only attending university for a few semesters, it dawned on him that he hated schooling, but came to love the country he'd spent his time in. Kyle was determined to remain in Japan, even filing for a work visa and looking for any business willing to hire him in Shine City, most places unfortunately turned him down, that is until he came upon a little glasses boutique. Inside he met with the owner, a kindly old gentleman, Mr. Hiroshi, who would take Kyle under his wing and teach him all he needed to work in the glasses industry. With a new job and a place to sleep at night, Kyle had found his home.

Since Season 2: Kyle has pretty much kept to himself this whole while, the only real difference is that he's cut his hair significantly shorter.

Side Characters

Mr. Hiroshi Ibarazaki

Wears these

Name: Mr. Hiroshi Ibarazaki
Age: 58
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 312 lbs
Likes: Drinking, Comradary, The Spirit of Youth
Dislikes: Thieves, Liars, Cheaters
Party Trick: Ever seen a man's gut split a melon in two?
Profession: Licensed Optician, Co-Owner of "An Eye For Fashion"
Bio/Personality: Mr. Hiroshi can be a bit of a loud and boisterous man, with a laugh as large as his belly and just as large a thirst. For a man who's as old as he is, most would assume him to retire or live somewhere a bit quieter, but he always says, "I thrive where the youth live, there's a fire in them that I just can't get enough of." He's known to out drink anyone who dares to challenge him, earning him the title of "The Dwarf of Japan".

Hiroshi met Dr. Dajianus some years ago and traveled across Europe with him for several months. Inspired by their travels they started a business together in Shine City, to give those an option of eyewear that was outside their normal culture.

Theme:

Dr. Giles Dajianus

Name: Dr. Giles Dajianus
Age: 38
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 190 lbs
Likes: Reading, quiet evenings in, professionalism
Dislikes: Disturbances, disrespectful youth, insurance companies
Party Trick: "I don't do parties"
Profession: Licensed Optometrist (OD), co-owner of "An Eye For Fashion"
Bio/Personality: Dr. Giles Dajianus is a man who's a bit rough around the edges, cynical with a slightly intimidating personality. Despite how he may physically appear on the outside, he is a man who has a passion for his work, cares deeply for his patients and isn't afraid to tell someone they're being an idiot if its a matter of health and safety. Because of his deep rooted professionalism he doesn't accept shoddy work and will only do things by the book.

Dr. Dajianus was born in the UK and there earned his license and medical degree. It wouldn't be for some time in his service to the industry (and marriage) that he'd be introduced to Mr. Hiroshi. From there, inspired by their travels across Europe they went into a business partnership together and opened "An Eye For Fashion" in Shine City.

Theme:

Figured I'd give Kyle another shot, why not?

[Delta44]

@BeastofDestiny You already know Kyle is accepted :P Put that sexy beast in the characters tab! :D

[BeastofDestiny]

@Delta44 done

[Evil Snowman]

Hell yes! So getting back into this. At work atm so will post my character when I get home. Will most likely be running Theodore again never really got his story going given how quick the last chapter died.

[Silver Fox]

Updated in Ash's CS with a note at the end saying she's roomies with Amaya

[Azaria Blue]

I think I'll join but with a less bitchy character.

[Chao]

Honestly, I don't know what type of character I'd like to make, unfortunately.

I could do a young former Army Ranger. Or a photographer, or anything else. Just can't choose.

[BeastofDestiny]

I think I'll join but with a less bitchy character.

@Azaria Blue

But how else is Delta going to hook our characters up?

[The Survivor]

Updated some quirks about Kenji.

@Chaotic Chao

My character is a former SF operator turned Bodyguard and I believe another character was a service member turned firefighter. So nothing restricting you from making an ex-military character if you want.

[Chao]

Even though this roleplay is realistic, I am so tempted to try to make something similar to the Knight Industries 2000/3000 or better known as K.I.T.T. from the Knight Rider show somehow happen. Lmao.

I know, I know I'm a nerd. But can you blame me? I'm a 12 year old who has access to comics, anime, and manga. How could I not be a nerd?

[ClocktowerEchos]

I'd rejoin this with one of my signature traps although I have a feeling I'll end up just dropping the RP in the end since I won't be able to keep up with posting for it (literally last time was a shit load of speed posting that screwed me over).

Should I still join just for the ride while it lasts?
