Shine City Season Three (A High Casual - Low Advanced Dating Game!)

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Adelynn Ryder It’s a pretty good first draft! There are just a couple of things we need to spruce up before your little Annabelle is ready to go!

On your dislikes you need to list a couple more things. They don’t have to be big, anything from cigarette smoke to not enjoying being too hot, etcetera. You’re bio is a really nice length though, and gives us a great idea idea of what her character is about as a person. Nice work!

On your theme song it would be pretty nifty if you could link us to it. I see by your post count that you're a little new here, so if you needed some help on formatting I could PM you and show you a thing or two, if you wanted!

Here is an example of a finished profile. Your’s doesn’t have to be formated like this with all the colors and headers and what not, but it’ll give you an idea on the amount of likes and dislikes you need and what the theme song area should look like.

Nori Haywood

Name: Nori Haywood
Age: 23
Height: 5'4 ((About 163 cm))
Weight: 113 lbs. ((About 52 kg))

Likes: ”Coffee is my favorite thing on the planet!”

Club/dance music, dancing, forehead kisses, flowers, strong coffee, people with a sense of humor, road trips, dogs, whiskey, video games, pretty dresses, blue eyed men, being snarky, crowds, her cellphone, cooking, tattoos, sushi, true crime tv shows, and manga.

Dislikes: “I used to not like the smell of cigarette smoke but...it’s kinda growing on me, y’know?”

Paper cuts, apples, violence, cold showers, cows (she thinks they're terrifying), spiders, doing laundry, jazz music, vodka, snobby people, thunder, traffic, windows vista.

Party Trick: She's pretty badass at shadow puppets! :)

Profession: Works at Shine City Investigation Services during the day and part-time as a DJ at Club LUSH on the weekends.

Personality: Nori has an adventurous spirit, thrives on action, and loves anything that gets her adrenaline up. This of course makes her a bit of a risk taker, which often gets her into sticky situations. It also means that she can get bored easily if she feels like she isn't doing something productive. When it comes to the people she cares about, Nori is loyal to a fault. If she sees someone bullying one of her friends she will not hesitate to call them out on it. She is a bright, confident, funny girl who is full of sarcasm and doesn't let anyone push her around.

History: Nori grew up the only child of two loving, lower-middle class parents in a rural farming community and even though she was happy, she always longed for the big city life. So when she turned 21, she moved to Shine City to follow her dream of being a professional DJ. Nori quickly learned that none of the radio stations would hire her without experience and she began to lose hope, until she saw a flyer that said Club LUSH was looking for part-time DJs. The young blonde was hired on the spot and while she was excited to be doing what she loved, it wasn't quite enough to pay the bills. So she had to take on another job at the local flower shop to make ends meet.

Then, through a series of increasingly bizarre events, she was targeted by a serial killer, her apartment set on fire, and she ultimately lost her job at the Enchanted Florist. It was alright though, because that’s how she met one Detective Oliver Holland.

He gave her a place to stay and through good old fashioned detective work they managed to apprehend and put The Weatherman behind bars. The case was over and there was technically no reason for Nori to hang around anymore, but she couldn’t quite bring herself to leave Shine City Investigation Services. The two grew closer as they continued to spend more and more time together and before long they struck up a romance.

Sure, he smoked like a chimney and sort of looked like a mummy whenever he was all wrapped up in those silly bandages of his, but he was funny and charming in his own weird, sarcastic way, and Nori couldn’t be happier.

Other Information

Theme Song:

Clickity Clack~!

Relationship Status: Has been dating Oliver for about two months now.

@Delta44 I do love Ryoki, but I'm sure whatever other character you make will be great too! I'm playing a different girl this season, but I’m gonna keep Nori in the background for the boss, since he thinks she's neat. ;)

As for the time skip, @Dynamo Frokane said that it's summertime now, so I believe it’s been four to five months since the last season.

@Haeo I sort of glossed over the weatherman in Nori’s updated CS, but he was apprehended and there are no more serial killers in Shine City, nor will there be anything like that this season! Shine City Investigation Services only deals in petty criminals, catching cheating spouses, and finding lost pets now. XD

[MyCatGinger]

Hmm. To bring back Shou Matsuoka himself or not...

I think I'll let the ardent fangirls decide, heh. :')
It would be nice to play a female character, actually. I'll see how the balance is...I'm actually really attached to my quirky professor.

[KoL]

Ok, like I said I'll be back again. Iruka might pass for a bit of a refit but I'll all be for good. I might make her a background character as well, I don't know yet.

PS: Just one question, anyone would be up to dating a philosopher?

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Dynamo Frokane@Narcotic Dollie@MyCatGinger

Remind me how old does one need to be to go to the Casino, 18 or 21?

[Adelynn Ryder]

Added a few more dislikes and a link to the theme song :) Anything else?

Character: Annabelle Wolfe

Name: Annabelle Jason Wolfe

Age: 23

Appearence:


Height: 5'8

Weight: 137lbs

Likes: Video games, mechanical things, knives & swords, sparring, winning, singing, small animals (or large animals... she's and animal fan in general), and people who don't annoy her.

Dislikes: Anything frilly or pink, dresses, singing in front of other people, vast open spaces, strong smells (especially perfume), romance novels, and people who do annoy her.

Party Trick: "Um.. I'm not usually invited to parties. I can run a lightshow... does that count?" -Annabelle

Profession: Stagehand, runs the sound and light systems at a local music venue

Biography/Personality: For as long as she can remember, Annabelle Wolfe has been invisible. That isn't to say that people literally cannot see her, or even that they actively avoid her, as neither is the case. Sometimes, she knew, people were shunned because of some offense they had committed, or because they were simply different enough from the rest of society to be hated. This was not what happened in her case People never seemed to hate her. She'd never given them any reason to. Yet whenever she entered a room, she went unnoticed. Of course, she freely admitted it was her own fault. The way she stood, defensive and unconfident; they way she spoke, a voice so soft it could be mistaken for a whisper; the black hooded coat that she never seemed to take off- none of these things screamed "Hey, look at me!" (In fact, she thought at one point, the coat probably says "Hey, I'm shady criminal or something...")
It was kind of a lonely way of living, but Anna liked it that way. If nobody ever saw her, she'd never have to face her insecurities. Though she was versed in the art of swordplay (an aspect of theater choreography she'd found particularly fascinating) and was not easily shaken by the problems of the world, vulnerability terrified her. She hadn't grown up among friends in whom she could confide. Instead she'd grown up watching people. People as a whole, she discovered, hated weakness. She could never let them see that she was weak. To be hated like that... it had to be worse than being invisible. And she was certain that if they knew her, they would hate her. After all, she was a pretty quirky person behind all that silence. So she kept quiet, and kept watching.
Anna liked machines better than people sometimes. Machines, she knew, didn't judge you. Neither did video games (Well, if they did it was based purely on skill.) In the few years she'd spent in college, she had also found a great love for the theater, and being a stagehand had come naturally to her. So it was that she decided how to spend her time. She enjoyed her days at work, and spent most of her free time in the arcade. Occasionally she'd enter bookstores or libraries for information on weapons and fighting- searching for new styles to incorporate into the play she was writing, but most of the time she was too lazy. The arcade required much less effort. And if she ever tired of that she could always go back to people-watching.
Yet even though she was always doing something she enjoyed, she couldn't help but feel that something was missing. As she watched people at concerts and events laughing and cheering together, it made her kind of sad. She saw how people talked to each other, how they burst into fits of giggles at inside jokes, how they paired off together and spoke of love (once she'd even caught a couple of the members of one of the performing bands making out behind the stage), and she began to wonder if a complete lack of human interaction was really okay. What if they didn't hate her? What if she could laugh with them? What if she could be loved? But no, it was all too terrifying. She'd stay quiet, she decided. They'd never get to know her. Yet deep down, so deep that even she would not acknowledge it, she wished for someone to try.

@ClocktowerEchos

lets make it 18 ;)

[Specter189]

Hmm, intriguing

[Azaria Blue]

I replied to the General Interest check as well. Where should I post my character?

[Specter189]

Ok, like I said I'll be back again. Iruka might pass for a bit of a refit but I'll all be for good. I might make her a background character as well, I don't know yet.

PS: Just one question, anyone would be up to dating a philosopher?

@KoL

What's the age and philosophy?

[Woundwort]

Hey all!

I initially checked in the advanced interest check, figured I might as well post here as well. I've run what I've got, characterwise, past Dynamo, at their suggestion, I'm posting a link in public as well.

The link: docs.google.com/document/d/1D0Jlpv1vRr..

I'm by no means done, and if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

[Azaria Blue]

@Ophidian Funny, I'm using docs as well. Perhaps I should post it docs.google.com/document/d/1OMGwdOzRMG..

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Dynamo Frokane@Narcotic Dollie@MyCatGinger
I finished my character.
I guess I should also put a seriously Lewd label on it for anyone who decides they need such a warning.

Please do tell if I need to change anything, I have a feeling I will need to

Open for all that Trap Goodness

/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\

Occupation:

Akio works at the Shine Players Casino in a multitude of roles, the most common being a waitress and an entertainer. He also openly admits to working some other jobs on the side but when asked, you'll only get a vague answer from him. His actual work time varies depending on the day, but he'll always be working almost all day on the weekends and usually night shifts on Friday.

---

/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\

---

Personality:

Akio knows what his looks can do and how to exploit them. In short, he's a tease, a very lewd one at that. Something of a hedonistic pleasure seeker, he's constantly trying to find new things to entice himself with something new, within limit of course. That's not to say there are somethings that don't keep his interest for extended periods of time, but Akio is always on the hunt for something new, exciting and refreshing. To that end, he tend to be something of a flirt to try and entice or embarrass people for his own enjoyment which often ends with him getting a good laugh from shocking someone one about his actual gender or being able to take someone home with him. Shy is reserved are definitely things that are not part of Akio who is relatively... open to his nightly escapees. However, he never seeks out relationships and much rather prefer to have his options open.

/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\V/\

History:

Akio was born to a upper-middle class family and was said to be mistaken for a girl by his own parents and the doctors at birth, hence his feminine name. He's always something of a wild child, his parents having a hard time controlling him even when young. They were put in quite the pickle as Akio, while rambunctious and unruly as he was, had preformed very well in academics and athletics, especially in gymnastics. Eventually, they kinda just stopped caring about what Akio did assuming he didn't kill someone or do anything extreme.

But then, Akio did something extreme.

While those who claim to know Akio well say that its unfathomable to imagine a time where he wasn't a trap, Akio only started acting like one right before entering college. Before that, he did show some girlish tendencies, but was by and large "manly" even if he didn't look like it. The summer between his senior year of high school and freshmen year of college saw his transformation of "trapformation" as he sometimes calls it, in which he had completely reinvented himself into what he is today. He also took advantage of the fact he was also legally an adult and indulged himself in whatever he so happened to feel like which also happened to let him earn some money on the side.

Akio moved to Shine City almost in a sort of severing of ties with his parents and a sign of gaining independence, although they still are in contact with his parents sending him gifts for various holidays in the year. He started working at the casino since he felt it was easy work for decent pay; just shake his ass and act cute and get paid for it, maybe even get some tips or new "friends" out of it too.

Misc:
- As one might expect, Akio is pansexual however ends up brining more guys home than girls.
- Other songs include Blackjack for when he's working at the Casino and Sweet Devil as a secondary theme.
- He's actually a fantastic servant in the sense he can cook and clean really efficiently, its just that he hates having to clean.

I hope you're happy Dynamo-sama :P

@ClocktowerEchos I don't want to be that person but your height in meters would be four feet and two inches.

[KoL]

<Snipped quote by KoL>

What's the age and philosophy?

@Specter189

If I use the character I'm thinking of, she would be a young woman barely out of her Masters Degree, so... 25 - 27 is the age range. As for what kind of Philosophy, I think I'd go with my favorite, Existentialism (specially Nietzsche), but with a good dash of other Western schools as well.

Is that of your interest?

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Adelynn Ryder She looks good now! Do you think you could format the theme song like this for me though?

Annabell's theme

Or you can do it like this, if you think it looks better.
Annabell's Theme

But other than that she's ready to join! ^.^

@Azaria Blue You can post your character sheet here if you want pre-approval on it or just wanna show it off!, but you can also wait until @Dynamo Frokane puts up the actual IC thread. Either works fine, so it's really up to you!
Edit: Whoops, saw you have a WIP doc up. Just let one of us know when it's done!

Party Trick: "I'm a fabulous entertainer, but I feel that my best party tricks are shown behind closed doors. My favorite is making people question their sexuality."

@Narcotic Dollie

Thanks!

I always like to make quotes list for characters. Helps me define them. The one that ended up having the biggest influence on the good Mr. Kastrati ended up being:

“What do I want? I wanna enjoy every moment. I wanna fight, and eat good food. I wanna fight, and drink fine wine. I wanna fight, and sleep with beautiful men. Hell, I wanna fight with beautiful men! That's what it means to live.”
