Personality;

Jack is fairly tough, this is not too say he won't talk to people, but his brand of humour and the way he approaches things means that if you can't take a joke or accept an honest truth, you don't want to be his friend. At the same time he is in fact quite emotional and very easily takes things to heart if they are about a small list of subjects. But again, if you are close to him, you should know where to draw the line on certain subjects. He is appreciative of fans and doesn't mind people approaching him, only he wants them to do it in a respectful manner and if he is relaxing he prefers to be left alone. Jack loves social events, he prefer to gig them but if he is just going to a club with some friends he still has the time of his life. People are his lifeblood and whilst sometimes he struggles when he is not involved ina conversation, he knows how to get past his own little personal annoyances.

Place of Origin;

London, England

Background;

Jack’s father wasn't around at his birth, after he found out his mother was pregnant he had skipped town never to be seen again. As such Jack's mother was determined to be a good enough parent for herself and the absentee father. This event also has lead to her refusing to date again, it wasn't that she didn't like men, she just couldn't bring herself to be that vulnerable. Although Jack's time at a school would be free, his pre school wasn't. As such he used to sit behind the counter at the cafe in which Jack's mother worked. During his early music lessons he found that he was naturally quick at learning to play instruments. His own mother encouraged this as she used to play a broad range of music all the time, from Mozart, to The Rolling Stones and Jay-Z. By the time he was 12 Jack was a guitar prodigy, accomplished on the piano/keyboard and an average drummer. It was then that he joined a music Academy, on a music scholarship, that held the equipment to DJ and create tracks. Now Jack had the real outlet he needed. During his time at the Academy though he got into a number of fights as a small group of fellow students joked and bullied him about his poor back ground. This was where he got his busted lip, after that he managed to claw a few friends and he had an alright time after that. He even managed to get a girlfriend for a short while, however that ended swiftly as he caught her cheating on him at a party. At the age of 16 Jack was forced to take up a part time job to help pay the bills, it wasn't too hard however it took him away from his music, and whilst he never voiced his resentment of this fact, his mother knew it. Even at the Academy which specialised in music, Jack was special and so he would often do the music for big events and other social events that were run. During an award ceremony he played in a band, giving the winners a track to walk up too and some soft music for people to mingle too after. Another example was the 'Locked In' event where students spent an evening in the building with the hall at their disposal. It ended with a fairly loud Drumm and Bass concert from Jack and a fair amount of damage to the hall. During a concert he was headlining at the Academy, he was talent scouted by Hollywood University. ALthough not old enough to go, he signed that when he was old enough he would go and become a student under a scholarship. The University paid for all his tuition fees, flight costs and room and board. For the next two years Jack spent his time refining his music ability at a music college, here he made some connections to other up and coming musictions as well as a music label. However Jack found that he didn't like the idea of being managed, and so made changed with the scholarship so that he could learn to manage his own label when he left. The day Jack flew out was the first time Jack had ever seen his mother cry, they were tears of joy as he reassured her that all the amazing happening were thanks to her strength and passion in raising him right.

Just going to quietly slip this in.

Kina Listig

Kina Listig

"He’s always preparing to say goodbye. From the very first hello."

---

---

Name:

Kina Listig

Nickname:

NA

Birth Date:

13 October

Age:

18

Zodiac Sign:

Libra

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Demisexual

Rich or Poor:

Poor

Trust Fund or Scholarship;

Scholarship

Major:

Cinematography and Film

Minor:

Photography

Occupation:

NA. He wants to take on a side-job, but his parents want him to focus on his studies. He might go ahead and get himself employed anyway, but he would have to find a place with flexible hours for him to research and hit the books still.

---

In Depth Appearance:

Standing at 179cm (5’10”) and weighing 65kg (143lbs), Kina has brown curls that are almost always ruffled and messy. He is not very tanned but he is several shades darker than deathly pale from standing outdoors in open fields trying to shoot videos under the right lighting or from staying under the sun longer than necessary coaxing a squirrel or some other small woodland creature onto his viewfinder. His eyes are a molten brown and his pupils are large giving him a perpetually wide-eyed look. Tall and lanky, he is thin and looks to be on the scrawny side, with lean muscles rather than a bulky build. He bruises easily.

Clothing Style:

Jeans, slacks and trousers all work for Kina, as do T-shirts and button-up plaid tees. He enjoys casual clothing, and tends to buy whatever he feels comfortable in and isn’t pricey. His closet selection leans toward the darker colour spectrum, and he doesn’t own many bright threads. As someone who likes to hide behind the camera, and has spent events flitting from wall to wall to snap photos, Kina favours unassuming clothes that allow him to blend into the background, all the better to take shots of unobserving people. Because of his lanky build many of his clothes are baggy and missized.

---

Likes:

Cameras
Editing videos and shooting them
Reading
Writing (short stories and storyboards)
Tea
Autumn
Alternative rock
His laptop
Loyalty
Authenticity

Dislikes:

Conflict and tension
Not being given a chance to prove his mettle
Being trodden on
Being given overt attention
Intensive social interaction

Habits:

Ruffles his already unruly hair when frustrated
Has a slow smile – like a flag unfurling in the wind – when he’s been pleasantly surprised
Puts his thumb against his bottom lip when thinking

Hobbies:

Taking walks to cafes and living off their Wi-Fi
Locking himself in his room to complete projects
Day-dreaming up video ideas that almost never see the light of day
Holing up somewhere with a hot beverage and reading novels
Watching movies

Fears:

That he will not make anything out of his life
That he will regret his decisions
That he will be unable to provide for his parents when he enters the real world and they retire from it
That he will truly fade into the background one day and no one will notice

Personality:

Intensely private and reserved, Kina will not share his life story within the first hour of meeting, or indeed the first year. While he doesn’t actively seek out sociability all the time, he can swallow his introversion to take the first step in meeting someone. But after a long day, he tends to retreat to his room and shan’t emerge until he has been submerged in his own silence long enough to face noise again. If not given the chance to do so, he will withdraw into himself, and won’t say a word unless someone actively tries to rope him back in. Carrying a camera around means he can withdraw whenever he wants and still be considered within the realm of socially acceptable. Highly attached to his gadgets and devices of technology, Kina’s primary purpose in capturing fast moments is in documenting the entire story behind it, which he finds notoriously tricky but impossibly rewarding to get right. He lives on the spot when he’s squinting into his viewfinder, but he plans ahead and gets immensely worried about the future when staring at anything else. He does everything with effort and his best, and burns out easily.

Kina might not seem like he’s got much of a fire burning in him. While he might take jeers and hackling quietly (it’s happened before) it shortens his fuse, and it isn’t of infinite length either. Neither is he afraid to be snippy to get people out of his frame.

---

Income:

His parents give him what they can spare as an allowance, so every month he might receive around $100 as supplement in the post.

Finances:

Low-Middle class

Spending Habits:

His living expenses are largely paid for by the scholarship. He is frugal with his money and saves what he can. His clothes might seem faded from too many rounds in the wash, but he can’t bear to throw out shirts and jeans which are still good to wear.

Transportation:

Kina can do without a car. He either walks or takes the bus.

House:

College Dorms

Place of Origin:

A small town in England

Background:

Growing up, Kina was always quiet. He said few words, and even when he did he spoke them with consideration and care. He had a few close friends, and while he loved their company and blossomed next to the right people, he was acutely conscious that everything was temporary and nothing could be taken for granted. Graduations never hit him hard, because even when he was having the time of his life in primary and then secondary school when the moments came, it was never lost on him that the era would not last forever.

He discovered a love for photography and filmography when he was given a video project to do and he scored the top in his class for – as the teacher put it – making the audience feel what he wanted. Looking back Kina now realises she most probably meant he was the only one in the class who could keep a straight face throughout the video, but back when he was ten it seemed the camcorder fit nowhere better than his own hand.

His parents have always been supportive, and loving. His older brothers were more rambunctious than he, and used to rough-house with him constantly. Until one of them realised Kina didn’t enjoy it and wouldn’t be a good sport, and the oldest Colin grew out of it. Still, Kina’s childhood was full of forceful tackles and elbows against the shoulders. He didn’t think of it anything less than affectionate shoving. The Listigs lived in a small dingy neighbourhood with less than spotless repute, and a public school with a suspension list on daily shuffle. Colin and Jacob – the middle child – preceded Kina there, and by the time he himself enrolled in the school he knew all there was to know about the stairways where it was safe to bum a few fags, the corners where girls in their altered uniforms could be found for a quick good time, and the fourth-floor toilets where those who had gotten stoned had a three in five chance of not being discovered by the principal. The first day Kina stepped in the school, his feet were quaking.

Needless to say, the environment in the school was terrifying, where a good track record was impossible because conclusions were often prematurely made to spare the administration from delinquents lying through their teeth. Kina, with his quiet mouth and too-big pupils and slim frame, was easy prey. He was jostled his fair share of times, kicked around another few. The first month his brothers would come running to put an end to it. And then they stopped. Colin – who by age sixteen already had tattoos snaking up his left arm, and a protective ring of burly brothers he had chosen and shared no blood with – told Kina that he would have to learn to put his own fists up, that it would toughen him up, that it was a rite of passage.

Kina could never blame him or Jacob for not coming to his rescue, because two years later Kina punched someone for the first time and Colin beamed at his split knuckles, told him he was proud of Kina, promised with a conspiratorial wink they would go out for a drink out of their parents’ earshot, and left for a party and never came home. He swerved off the road, he would remember the police officer murmuring quietly. The car fell twenty feet. He was rushed to the hospital, but paramedics pronounced him dead upon arrival. And then: They found a bottle of whiskey in the backseat, and a packet with residue confirmed to be drugs, as if it could not hurt any more, as if their father’s face couldn’t be any more ashen, as if their mother couldn’t sob any harder.

When Kina was fifteen, his family moved. His father said the branch in Dublin paid better. Kina thought everyone was running away from the quiet house and the second bedroom shared by two sons instead of three. But he didn’t say a word, and learnt to settle into a new school, where the toilets were graffiti-clean; students wore crisp uniforms and buttoned-up shirts; and Jacob began the steady climb to bring his grades from Ds to Bs, and came sprinting once more to protect his little brother from those who dared to pick on him.

The year Jacob began to work at the local car-repair shop, Kina sent in applications for scholarships. His parents pushed him for medicine, law, and engineering. He spent twice as long filling in those forms as he should have, because even though he could not imagine himself in a dry gray business office, he saw his parents’ own hopes and dreams of their third son in a suit, with a house twice as big as their cramped apartment, and a life that would never be as difficult as theirs had been. And he could not bare to dash those wishes so early. On an impulse, he plucked out the brochure from the career-guidance counsellor’s office for the Hollywood University too, deciding he would spend his summer making the best video he possibly could, and justify the time and resources with a whimsical university application. He mailed many envelopes in a week, but only received one reply back. Remarkably the short film he had sent in with it had been enough to impress the school, but it did not seem he was destined for law and doctoring. While his parents frowned at the prospects of a photographer, they let him go, because it was an education nonetheless even if they did not think he would find a valid occupation. Two suitcases, and one airplane ride later, and Kina found himself in Hollywood.

Extra:

My favourite class? English, I think. And Kina’s too, because that gave him creativity and a platform for creative expression.

@gowia
I'd prefer if his personality is written out, please. Also, expand on his background a little bit as well. When you do that then let me know. :3

@Mivuli
Nice character! Love him and he is definitely accepted. Awesome Job, Mivuli. :D You may now place him in the character tab.

[gowia]

@HushedWhispers

[Silent Whispers]

@gowia
Thank you so much. He's a nice character and I just want to see him expanded. Thanks. :)

@Mivuli
You are so welcome. :)

[gowia]

@HushedWhispers Okay expanded history a little more, is it okay to throw in CS or does he need some more work? If so you will have to wait as I am fairly tired :L

[WhiteStar19]

@Mivuli If Kina is minoring in photography and wants to take on a side job, you could have him talk to Cecily later... xD

[Mivuli]

@WhiteStar19 Ayy sounds like fun! Maybe they could have a run-in in campus or the like, because Kina would be way too reserved (:

[Silent Whispers]

@gowia
Thank you so much! You may now place him in the character tab.

Also, how do you guys feel about having a relations chart between our characters? I did it in my other roleplay and people seemed to have enjoyed it so just asking to get your guys opinions. :3 Be honest.

[gowia]

I have no idea what a relations chart is...can I have an example :L

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

I have no idea what a relations chart is...can I have an example :L

@gowia

It's just like a list that shows the current relationships between the characters. Like who's friends with who, basically.

I'm all for it. Working on my CS now.

In Depth Appearance;

Standing at a height of 5'11" and weighing in at 164 lbs. makes him fairly skinny. He's three-quarters Korean and one-quarter caucasian. Dark hair, dark eyes, nice teeth and generally good-looking. He keeps his hair fairly long and sometimes he'll dye it a bit lighter than its natural black. No tattoos or scars to speak of, though his ears used to be pierced. Often confused with his twin brother, Min-jun.

Clothing Style;

Being somewhat vain makes Leo very concerned about his appearance and he prides himself on keeping up with the latest styles and trends, not just in western culture but Korea, Japan, and Europe as well so he has a fairly extensive wardrobe. Blazers, slacks, scarves, side-zip jackets, cardigans, pullovers, patterned button-downs, and vests all help to satisfy his sense of style and modernity. All brand-names, of course.

Overreacting/being dramatic

Hobbies;

Partying

Fears;

Rejection
Isolation

Personality;

In spite of his obvious flaws, Leo is a very enjoyable person to be around. He and his brother were very popular in high school so he's quite accustomed to being in the limelight. He's always been an attention-seeker in his own right. In spite of his bright and colorful exterior, Leo has struggled with several bouts of deep depression and at a few points in his teenage years almost completely lost his sense of self. He tends to take criticism very personally, especially from friends and family, and his relationship with his parents is strained as a result.

Income;

Not much on his own, he relies on his parents' money ($500k annually)

Spending Habits;

A Spendthrift with no savings

House;

The Shin Residence- Vancouver Island, British Columbia
The Twins' Shared Apartment

Place of Origin;

Seoul, South Korea

Background;

Even though he and his brother were born in South Korea, they only lived there for a few years before the family emigrated to Canada, and their father is a successful surgeon in British Columbia. Korean was mainly spoken in the home and English outside and at school, so the twins grew up bilingual. They adopted Western names since teachers and classmates had a hard time pronouncing their given names correctly, though they are still their legal names. Their parents were somewhat strict and the twins grew up conditioned with good manners and healthy habits. They both had a vested interest in Kpop and music in general, and began taking music and voice lessons at a young age. Working together with the best tutors money can buy, they excelled in singing and became adept at playing various musical instruments. While Leo pursued a career in the entertainment field, Julio started what would become a very successful YouTube channel to chronicle their adventures.
As graduation neared they applied to various art schools in Canada and the U.S. before finally being accepted into Hollywood. Their parents paid for Leo's tuition while Julio managed to land himself a scholarship. And, well, here they are.

In Depth Appearance;

Practically identical to Leo: 5'11" and 165 lbs. Skinny with somewhat Eurasian features. Black hair sometimes dyed, brown eyes, full lips and a nice smile. He doesn't cut his hair very often so it tends to be longer that his brother's. He does have a tattoo on his right side, just above the waistline.

Clothing Style;

Fairly casual and laid-back, Julio's wardrobe is simple. Jeans, band T-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants. He does own one suit for special occasions and often borrows Leo's clothes if he feels like he needs to dress up a bit more.

Fears;

Disappointing his parents
Leo going off the deep end

Personality;

Julio has always been the more laid-back of the two. Leo was the initiator, and he was the follower who always played along. He used to be inseparable from his brother and the two were seen together so constantly that they came to be thought of as the same person, and Julio's introverted personality was overrun by Leo's extrovertedness. Helping Leo through his depression really matured him, and he considers himself to be a responsible individual. He's very close to his parents and keeps in touch with them regularly.
