Profession: Actress (Star of Milky Hearts 1 & 2, and Lady Moonlight)

Bio/Personality: It may come as a shock that the actress you see on television inserts herself into her roles in such a way, she lives them. She can be described as little else but beautiful, inside and out. She is graceful, soft-spoken and always smiling, and her romantic nature at heart is what pushed her to pursue hee acting career in romance films.

She grew up as the fifth child of seven sisters and two very traditional parents, teaching all the girls dance as they grew up. Though they've all moved to different parts of the country now, the sisterly bond is strong as ever and her parents are now old, and well cared for. The sisters all seem well off, but Aoi is the second most settled out of them all, the first being her eldest sister who is married, and besides her own endeavour in the shoe design department, her husband heads a prestigious law firm.
Aoi dreams to one day find a man who loves her despite her career and fame, and someone who sweeps her right off her feet....Or at least she knows that's what her parents want, her true desires may not be accepted in a traditional Japanese family.

[Adelynn Ryder]

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.

[Azaria Blue]

Mimiko Breckenridge

Age: 19
Height: 180cm
Weight: 65kg

---

Likes: ‘Only the finest,’

Intelligent conversations, tea, vintage dolls, books (practically bibliophile), cats, bunnies, knitting and sewing her own clothes, flower and herb gardening, piano music, classic music, don’t tell but she likes EDM, daffodils, light blue, baking

Dislikes: ’I have a distaste for anything improper,’

Unmannerly conduct, public displays of affection, those who don’t keep promises, those who don’t follow the rules, senseless disobedience, loud racket, chewing gum, tardiness, children, sloppy speech, heavy or greasy food

---

Party Trick: 'I do not want to brag, but I can make a flower bloom in a pot of tea. It’s quite beautiful,'
Profession: ‘I’m a librarian, of course. I work part-time but hopefully I will be the head librarian one day. My dream job is to own my own bookstore-Café,’

---

Personality: Some may say she has a stick up her...well, you know but she doesn’t see it that way. Society has rules and it’s much simpler for everybody to get along if they are followed. If you must act like a barbarian, do not expect her to take a liking to you. If she corrects your grammar or syntax, think of it as a compliment and a way to say, ‘I love you and care about your education.’ Mimiko knows she’s picky, but she also knows that she’s worth it. She has been raised with a silver spoon so she may lack the integrity to work through difficult situations even if her parents were tough on her grades and activities. She’s a character that everyone loves to hate, the real challenge is finding something to like about her.

Background: Mimiko….Breckenridge. It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. Her parents decided to name their first child - her older sister - with a classic English name. The second would have a Japanese name in order to represent her mother’s culture. Interestingly enough, they lean toward the opposite cultures of their namesake.

Mimiko was raised on baby grand pianos with nannies and maids. Her sister slid down the curved railing at the last minute and caused trouble every morning while she had her nose stuffed in a book, waiting. She could not ever understand why Penelope refused to listen and cooperate, things went quickly and smoothly. This helped shape the way she acts and reacts in many situations with her peers.

She was always mature for her age which was further portrayed by her early height. People always mistook her for the older sister based both on action and size. Mimiko is unsure of which came first - was she mature because people thought she was larger and, therefore, older or was she always mature and simply enhanced the misconception with her size. Not that it mattered anyway.

In a way, it was a good thing that her parents never attended to her as she was allowed to choose her path as she wished. She loved ballet and water ballet when she was younger but lost interest as well as in piano. As much as she loved to hear the strings pluck inside, playing wasn’t her talent and she lacked rhythm.

As her childhood interests waned the velocity of her book reading picked up speed. She had always loved books but she found interest in a large span on categories. She became a voracious reader, the pages slipping through her fingers just long enough for her to digest the story and then moving along to yet another one. The library in her house was modest but she soon ran out of books that interested her within it. Her favorite books are classics and poetry books. She even dabbles in young adult sections every now and them - it is possible to find true gems.

She decided to come to Shine City to leave their gated community for something a bit more exciting and with more opportunity for her future business. She was enrolled in the Academy in a rather dull and normal process - grades, merits, and daddy’s help. Much was the way she was signed part-time with the library and received an open apartment more quickly than usual.

/\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.

Shou Matsuoka

Shou Matsuoka

Name: Shou Matsuoka (Dr./Prof. Matsuoka to his students, or often just "Professor" but he really doesn't mind Shou, or if you happened to call him Mr.)

Age: 29

Appearance:

(Credits to the original artist)

"I promise, I had just as rebellious a childhood as you kids, heh."

Has a piercing on his left ear on which he swaps between tiny spike or silver ring earrings. Dark circles aren't unfamiliar to his otherwise pale features, and his eyes are a clear, light, chocolate-brown colour which contrasts heavily with his (dyed) silver hair. In his youth, he used to have a select number of streaks in the mess of his locks that he dyed different colours once every two months. Though you can see a cigarette sticking out of his mouth when he isn't at school, it's replaced for a lollipop when he's on the job. Though oddly enough, it's difficult to tell from far away what it might really be...

Height: 6'2" / 188cm

Weight: 177lbs / 80.5kg

Likes: Fresh fruit, discussion and debate, thought-provoking material, philosophy, the sounds of the steelpan, the saxophone and the violin (and even the harmonica on occasion!), (soft spot for) Drum and Bass, oddballs, big dogs, breathtaking natural green scenery, lighting candles, aromatherapy, the colour blue, dressing classy, reading and writing fine literature, art, PC-gaming, white and milk chocolate, lollipops and gummy-bears, herbal teas and black coffees, blue orchids.

Dislikes: Liquorice, dark chocolate, small spaces, papaya, grading papers, his age and authority questioned, late students, the cold, spicy food, beetles, when people try to get him to dance, when things stop working.

Party Trick: Can, pitch-perfect and usually very loudly, whistle any requested song (that he knows).

Profession: Professor at the Shine City Academy (Department of Biology; Genetics specialist).

Bio/Personality:
Shou grew up in classy Shine City itself as the younger of two sons, so it's hard to find a place or trick or turn within it that the young gentleman doesn't know. Though, admittedly, he only came to learn of more of the city in his later years, having been homeschooled as a child and so finishing his education a couple of years early (due to missing out so many much-coveted summers). He landed his professor job through a mixture of sheer luck, his personal smarts and three rather interesting published works on the behavioural study of animals in captivity. This has led to him being a bit of an eccentric man, though he enjoys his fair share of parties as well, accompanied by a new experimental mixed-drink each time if not for a classic favourite of his: A glass of burgundy wine, for his more mature palette.

He spends his days teaching at the Shine City academy, hoping to inspire his students (though he has to admit again, most of them don't seem quite as much as interested in his lectures) to greatness someday. His personal interests are in the areas of Genetics and Zoology.
His young age is often a cause for playful kidding around by the older members of staff, though also gets him a lot of belittling remarks and unsatisfied glances from time to time. He claims he's just as much a student as anyone else, learning from his seniors whenever he can on their respective areas of expertise, and from his juniors on areas such as 'socialisation in the younger-crowds'.
He owns two dogs, a young Jack Russell Terrier called Jinxie and a larger Border Collie/German Shepherd mix called Romeo. Seeing as he lives by himself in a rather comfortable little house just far enough from the bustling city center to have an open yard, the two dogs get on well and don't get bored or lonely too often (special thanks to the dogs of the lovely old woman who lives next door!)

Shou himself is slightly introverted, preferring to be approached rather than approaching someone, though he has no problem doing the latter. He hardly ever is mentioned to say "he's bored", being a strong believer in finding entertainment in whatever one does. He is compassionate towards animals and, oddly enough, plants as well, having a well-tended garden set up in his backyard. He also possesses intensive knowledge on herbal remedies his mother taught both boys, Shou and Yuusha, when they were young. Being described as 'eccentric' due to his often chuckling at the most inappropriate moments, or his somewhat morbid love for setting things alight, or even his irritability on Thursday evenings when the weekend is so close, yet so far, he garners the positive attentions and affections of many others, particularly the schoolgirls at the academy impressed with just how young he is.
Or maybe they're just taken by his looks and undeniable quiet, mature grace.

As for his personal skills, outside of teaching and aromatherapy, Shou can also play the violin himself, whereas his brother picked up the saxophone when they were children. Though, to make up for it, he thoroughly neglected cooking in his youth and survives on the most basic meals, usually burnt or improper in some way, shape or form, but laden with spices each and every time.

In addition, it's been about four years since his long-term girlfriend and later much-beloved fiancée Alessandra (lovingly 'Alex') has passed now, the victim of a horrendous accident. Shou has mostly come to terms with it, though it isn't something one can recover from easily and he still thinks of her time and again, though still gets easily flustered around pretty women due to not being exposed to quite as much contact since her passing. It undeniably leaves him a little lonelier and 'emptier' than he'd like, and he often is solemn when he admits to that.

Shou's pets.

Romeo

German Shepherd x Border Collie
Adopted from the local shelter as a tiny pup, Romeo is now nine years old and an aging boy, but holds himself with a pride and loyalty to his master like no other. He makes an excellent companion on long walks, and in addition, an even more wonderful pillow to cuddle with when lonely.

Jinxie

Jack Russell
Jinxie is hyperactive and playful despite her six years of age, possesses a love for life itself any everything it brings. She's forever curious and could be called the polar opposite of Romeo, if not for the friendliness they both possess. She used to belong to Alessandra, but Shou has taken responsibility for her ever since Alex passed.

Side Characters

Alessandra Goretti (Deceased)

Alessandra Goretti

Name: Alessandra Vittoria Goretti

Age: Deceased (Would have been 28)

Appearance:

Straight brown hair and radiant, warm hazel eyes.

Height: 5'6" / 168cm

Weight: 118lbs / 54kg

Likes: Living life, children, smiling, all music (especially orchestral), green tea, Mahjong, physics+physicists, mysteries, lab research, panna cotta, strawberries, tiramisu, pets, romance, astrology, red roses, stargazer lilies, blue orchids, sweater weather, the colour purple and most bright colours, the renaissance, home (Italy) and home food, her fiancé.

Dislikes: Animal testing, teasing, bitter things, lazing around, small handbags (there's never enough space!), gaudy decoration, arguments, racism, crowded places, narcissists, wannabes, unresolved matters.

Party Trick: For a woman of physics, she is quite good at guessing horoscopes and giving people a personality briefing using that information.

Profession: Professor at Shine City Academy (Department of Physics; Nuclear Physics specialist)

Bio/Personality:
Alessandra was a woman full of life, and her personality remains mirrored in her dog, Jinxie. She was a cheerful and passionate woman, and though she wasn't very loud, she radiated health and vitality, and glowed with an undeniable charisma. She was motherly and caring, compassionate to all living things, and curious to a fault. Easygoing and laid back, it was difficult to engage her in arguments. Her personality could be compared to a fawn's.

Alex was always curious about the ways the world worked, and from a young age, it was apparent to her parents that she would use that curiosity to achieve great things. And she did.
Moving to Shine City from Italy soon after finishing her highschool education to study nuclear physics from the very best, she ended up as a Physics lecturer for Shine City Academy, and though the position did not require her own research, she chose to pursue it anyway, balancing out her 'career' with her personal interests quite well. She worked hard towards the position of professor, and since she was comfortable where she was, she had her life planned around remaining in Shine City and settling down with a family there.

During her time at the academy, she met a certain biology professor, Shou Matsuoka, who at the time was still learning all there was to learn, and the two, despite their generally contrasting personalities, hit it off right away. They dated for the better part of three years before he popped the question, and Alex could not have asked for anything more. She moved in with him officially when he proposed to her, and they even bought a small, comfortable little house on the outskirts of the city, courtesy of their combined salaries.

Unfortunately, things did not go quite as planned. During their engagement, and her working as part of a long-term project to get to the very bottom of an elusive concept in the field of nuclear physics, something very particular happened to one very unsuspecting physicist. She did not know how, or why, or even who, but was caught in the middle of a brutal murder and mauling. Of course, the authorities tried to track the man down but to this date, little headway has been made. Her fiancé was told, simply, that she was caught in an accident, and spiralling into a depression that left him reeling, he still doubts the truth to this day.

Main Characters

Calliope Cross

---

---

Name: Calliope Cross
Nickname: She's been called everything from cantaloupe to kaleidoscope, but she'd rather you just call her by her given name.
Age: 26
Height: 5'8” ((About 173 cm))
Weight: 130 lbs. ((About 59 kg))

Likes: "I like cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, frogs, snakes, penguins, basically any sort of animal...What?...oh...What else besides animals? Erm...haha...snow cones are alright, I guess?"

Her job, animals, sewing, horticulture, bad movies, tea, cooking, small spaces, bubblegum, reading, card games, jogging, hugs, the smell of old books, being outdoors, studying, long baths, stuffed animals, cute dresses, dumplings, and preparing for the imminent downfall of human civilization.

Dislikes: "Ummm...I'm not a huge fan of leeks."

Leeks, strangers randomly touching her hair, being cooped up inside all day, curry, hospitals, psychiatrists, needles, cold weather, being cold in general, bullies, waiting in lines, people who are mean to waitstaff, American beer, clowns, magicians, headaches, and the imminent downfall of human civilization (planning for it is fun, but the thought of it actually happening gives her so much anxiety).

Party Trick: "...*fidget fidget*...I can't do anything interesting, why, have you heard something? Move along, please!"

Profession: Works at Shine Aquarium as a dolphin and seal trainer. Studying to become a veterinarian and is set to graduate next summer.

Bio: The first time it happened was the day of her mother's funeral and little Calliope was terrified, because goldfish shouldn't be able to talk, right? But her's did, saying very plainly and clearly, "Feed me, Calliope, feed me!" She ran to tell her father but he dismissed it as a silly game of make believe and didn't give it a second thought at the time.

Of course when she turned ten and was still claiming animals spoke to her it was understandably less charming and more worrisome. Jordan Cross took his daughter to see a psychiatrist and they couldn't quite figure out what the cause for her elaborate delusions were either, but they were able to prescribe numerous medications that helped drown out the voices. Calliope hated them of course, but her father seemed relieved when she stopped talking to the neighbor's iguana, so she kept taking her pills to keep him happy.

School was hard for her due to her bookish nature and as a result she never garnered many friends or suitors. Calliope didn't mind though, she would much rather study animal medical journals and play chess with her father than flounder through small talk with her classmates anyways. She graduated at the top of her class and decided to pursue a career as a veterinarian despite her father's misgivings and enrolled in the local university for the following fall.

It was during this time that Calliope blossomed into a lovely young woman that was no longer riddled with acne and braces, but her social anxiety and skiddish behavior kept her from forming any lasting attachments. She graduated with her bachelor's degree just a few short days before her father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. Calliope didn't leave the house for weeks, stopped taking her medication, and just when it seemed like everything was getting too much to handle and she was pondering taking drastic measures, she heard a strange voice…

"Shit girl, you lookin' ratchet as hell! When was the last time you ran a comb through yo hair? That old man was dope as fuck but damn girl, you gotta cut that shit out. You're messin’ with my vibe!"

There was no one in the house except for her father’s cat. It seemed like the voices were back.

Sonya coaxed Calliope into showering, then combing her hair, then slapping on some deodorant, and slowly, piece by piece, things started to get better. Calliope had been scared that she would be completely alone without her father, but it seemed that as long as she didn't take her medicine she had found a new friend. So she doesn't refill her prescription and when the semester finished up she transferred to Shine City for a fresh start.

Calliope then bought a small house with the money her father left and her and Sonya took in a stray cat that had been meandering around the garbage bins. Her grades were good, she got a new job at the aquarium, and everything was going well. But here lately, her cats have begun to worry that if they don’t socialize their human soon she would be forever doomed to be a lonely cat lady for the rest of her days...

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.

Bickford Beauregard

Name: Bickford Beauregard
Age: 52
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 225ibs
Likes: Scantily clad men and women, money, booze, cigarettes, being stingy
Dislikes:…everything else
Profession: Assistant manager at Club LUSH

Personality/Bio: Bickford grew up in Shiny City with two loving and wealthy parents along with his three older siblings and despite all the odds, he still managed to turn out to be a massive dickhead.

Currently on his seventh marriage, Bickford spends most of his time at the club, where he is surprisingly good at his job. He isn’t well liked by his employees due to his constant crude comments and nagging them to wear more revealing clothing. It is his personal goal to see all Club LUSH’s employees wearing only their skivvies to work.

DJ Dangermouse

Name: Cash Daindrich AKA DJ Dangermouse
Age: 27
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 166 ibs
Likes: Cigarettes, sleeping until noon, music, tattoos, being shirtless
Dislikes: Women with high pitched voices, coffee, having to wear a shirt
Profession: Main DJ at Club LUSH

Personality: When not on stage, Cash comes across as laid back, but aloof towards most people. He doesn't talk much and when he does, it’s usually dripping with sarcasm. That being said, once you get past his gruffness he isn't completely awful to be around, as long as you don't mind him not actually answering when you talk to him. Cash’s DJ personality is still pretty laid back, but he makes up for it with his great intuition when it comes to mixing music. He is always shirtless when working.

Ryoki Mochizuki

Name: Ryoki Mochizukki
Age: 28
Appearance:


Height: 166cm
Weight: 74.5kg

Likes: Music, her scarf, flirting, having fun with friends, experiencing new things, playing an instrument, making people laugh, drawing, dancing, not working, otakudom.
Dislikes: Working, dishonesty, death, depressing topics, serious topics, bullies, things that aren't fun, normal people.

Party Trick: Ryoki has a deck of tarot cards. Should you request it, she'll give you a reading. Using the power of the arcana, she can supposedly tell you your future. Of course, if that doesn't cut it, she can play just about any instrument, and has a large stockpile of puns available if all else fails.

Profession: Ryoki is an aspiring musician who works from home. She has a wide variety of instruments that she owns and plays, but is best with violins, guitars, keyboards and saxophones. Not to mention singing; she loves to sing! She uploads her music on to sites such as YouTube and makes her own albums. She's not world famous by any means, but still makes enough to make a living. Mostly. Ryoki also works part-time as a voice actor, getting job offers every now and then to voice characters for anime, games and so-on. She also scored a job at the casino and has been working as a bunny girl waitress ever since.

Bio/Personality: Ryoki has always lived in Shine City, and is rather upbeat and daring. She's willing to give just about anything a try and, for better or for worse, doesn't have any real sense of shame. She'll flirt with boys (and sometimes girls too) and loves to tease. You could say it's in her nature to try make others feel good about life like she does. Ryoki comes from a rich family who wanted to give their daughter the opportunities she wanted, and, as such, they allowed her to pursue her dream of making music. Ryoki has followed that dream ever since she was young and has found herself climbing the ladder of fame and success one rope at a time. She still has a long way to go, but remains persistent, working hard as she aspires towards becoming a top musician. She'll sometimes perform at Mochavine Cafe and Bar, as it was the place where she first started out as a musician. She's never had much interest in romantic affairs, despite the flirting. She's also secretly a bit of an otaku.

... At least, that's how she used to be...

These last couple months have been absolute Hell for the Raven. Ever since The Incident, Ryoki hasn't been herself. The first month was the worst. A case of delirium and severe depression in which time she barely ate, slept or spoke with anyone. In fact, she barely left her apartment, if at all! Her first ever attempt at suicide was committed, and she was hospitalized for a month in an attempt to rehabilitate her. She attended her sister's funeral; it was... very difficult. Tragic. Another month passed and she wasn't showing much signs of recovery, no matter how much affection she received. She was now able to go home, however had to take anti-depressants. She managed to get back into working at the casino, and was steadily restoring, showing a slow, progressive rate of healing. However, if nothing is done, it may be quite some time before Ryoki can at least mimic her former self.

Likes: Sweets, making music and remixes, playing games with her sister, sleeping, yaoi.
Dislikes: Veggies, her brother's flirting, mean people, bugs.
Party Trick: "Umm... I can eat lots and not get fat? It's kinda depressing since I can't grow, though. Ooh, I can name any retro game you throw at me, and people say I have an anime girl voice, but I don't think so."
Profession: Makes remixes and "Dj's" for fun, though sometimes plays her songs at the arcade (Club LUSH scares her). Works at the Shine City Ice Rink as an instructor for newbies.
Bio/Personality: The younger adopted twin born a minute after midnight of the new year, Mokyu is incredibly sweet, but also straight up flat (in terms of personality... and physicality). She's always looking so tired that it's a wonder what she does in her spare time that makes her so deadpanned. Part-English, part-Japanese, Mokyu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with her brother in their early years, and has been eternally grateful for that. Though she's only been recently made aware of the fact she's adopted, she still treats everyone as though they were her family, with all the kindness in the world.

She became interested in music and learned to play the keyboard thanks to her sister, Ryoki, and has learnt how to DJ and remix due to her own practices.

... Well, those are all things Mokyu used to do... You see, several months ago, she passed away in the most horrific and traumatizing way possible. The gorey details will be spared, however her death was a public killing and was witnessed by a great mass of people, her family included. It has acted as a turning point for many in their lives, witnessing someone so innocent be so brutally massacred...

Profession: Training to take over his father's company; currently unemployed.
Bio/Personality: The older adopted twin born a minute before midnight of the new year, Kimasu is about as charming and outgoing as they come. With words that could infatuate a deaf person, Kimasu does his best to please the fine ladies in which he'll converse with. Part-English, part-Japanese, Kimasu was taken in by the Mochizukki family with his sister in their early years, and has found great comfort in growing up with the family. Though he is aware of being adopted, he treats the Mochizukki family like his own, and due to this is training to become the heir to the family's company.

He learned how to sweet-talk so well from "The Master", A.K.A. Ryoki, though refined his techniques all throughout high school to become a better gentleman.

To this day, Kimasu tries to keep strong and true to himself. He is a lot more motivated nowadays to help others, and has been acting as a source of strength for his big sister. Though difficult, Kimasu is trying his absolute hardest to move on, not for himself, but for those around him...

Main Character:

Megaera Kastrati

Name: Megaera Kastrati
Age: 23
Appearance:



Height: 6’1
Weight:198 Ibs
Likes: Shooting ranges, Warsaw pact weapons, Pike Security PMC, wrestling, fights, conflicts, anything that gets the blood pumping really, beautiful men, fighting uppity dirt farmers, heavy metal, instability in rich foreign nations in need of security, money money money, ancient literature, Sun Tzu, booze (it takes the edge off of the boredom), guys brave enough to take a swing at him, Guns and Ammo (magazine), soldiers of fortune (only if they’re for hire or working with Pike-or really cute), anyone who manages to make his job slightly interesting, current affairs, political manifestos, history (particularly of the troubled regions of the world), gyms, working out, doing unto others, trashy schlocky actions novels and movies, collecting knives, using knives, martial arts.
Dislikes: Being blind in one eye, regulations on arms shipments, the monotony of working as a bouncer, the lack of his sort of “excitement” in the city, being terminally bored, increasing scrutiny on PMCs, uppity dirt-farmers who are way better shots then they should be, bears, moose, rival PMCs, a sudden outbreak of peace, the song “Truffle Butter” (ENOUGH ALREADY), being bumped into by dancers, the lack of brawls to break up and finally, students trying to sneak in who aren’t even smart enough to make his job mildly interesting for a few seconds. Anyone he thinks is “soft”.
Party Trick: Field-stripping an AK-47.
Quotes: “Y’know. I was the token dick enthusiast in my unit too. Nice to know some things never change.”

“Peace is our profession! Mass murder is just a nice hobby.”

“Teamwork is essential -- it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.”

“Remember kiddies, when you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade stops being your friend.”

“Killing for peace is like whoring for virginity. Warm feeling-and you get paid well!”

“Come on! At least go for the eyes! Break a bottle! Try to shank me! You’re just….going to let us kick you out huh? Feh. Goddamn lightweight.”

"Live" and "Hero" are mutually exclusive terms. Life would be a hell of alot more exciting if more of these drunken idiots were interested in being heroes. Don’t even get normal idiots into that here. I almost miss the goddamn dirt-farmers.”

“Good God, I need a stiff drink.”

"Division of labor. You tell me your life’s ambition and your dreams, and I laugh at them."

“The rest of these guys? As dumb as a bag of hammers, but they work cheap. Me? I’m what you call “just desperate enough.”

“Goldfish. I’m working with retarded goldfish.”

“That’s right, run away! Go crawl home and do coke off your mother’s back, like you did when Sammy wouldn’t touch your special place!.....Didn’t even try to throw one punch. The hell do you have to say to people to get a fight in this town?”

“Oh. That little thing in whateverstan? Yeah. I was there. Most fun I’ve had with my pants on.”

“Hey, merc work is good work-challenging, you get outside alot, make good drinking buddies, work with cute guys...promise ya you’ll never go hungry. Someone always wants someone else dead!”

“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.”

“If something happens to me, I want you all to know the truth. If they say Pike Security fought valiantly, I want you all to know we fought retarded.“

“Oi! The hell you got against mercs? That whole murder for profit thing? Yeah well, like you’re perfect.”

“Well folks, that concludes the list of reasons this city makes me need a goddamn drink, which for the record did not work. Either this booze is broken or this city is just too damn sobering.”

Profession: Bouncer at Club LUSH. Living off of his built-up savings from his mercenary ventures with Pike Security. He typically works weekends and a few weeknights at Club Lush. He does do some freelance work around the city-everyone always needs someone else beat to kingdom come or otherwise liberated from their teeth.

Personality: Megaera Kastrati is a man with many loves-the love of good food, fine wine and your typical creature comforts, but more then that, he is a man in love with the taste of blood in his mouth, the feeling of a fist hitting his jaw, and the feeling returning that strike tenfold. In short, he is a man who is in love or at the very least, lust with violence. He likes to fight, he likes to brawl, he likes to get down and dirty and be in danger of losing some teeth. It’s the quickest way to earn his respect-and even his love, if you’re scrappy and male enough. In short, he likes activities and people who, in his terminology “have balls” or at least “moxy”.

His work as a mercenary also ensures he has a somewhat...unique view of morality. Violence isn’t just a tool in the box of possible solutions-it’s the go to solution, it’s the prefered outcome, the one that results in the most good, or at least, the most fun….and really, is there a difference? He’s flippant, disrespectful, blunt and almost completely honest about his thoughts when it comes to other people-he’ll beat you half to death and call it good fun, but he’ll almost never lie to you, in sum. He expresses affection through insults-and only rarely does he go “soft” on someone-and typically only when he’s got it bad.

Kastrati likes to move-likes to “feel the burn”-running laps around the block, running a military course, hiking into the wilderness, or lighting off illegal explosives in the dead of night-it’s all fair game to him. He finds Shine City irredeemably boring-and he’s been trying desperately to find a way to entertain himself. Perhaps as a result of this, his feelings on anyone he perceives as “soft” are quite sour-and he is still somewhat bitter about being taking out of active service after being blinded in one eye, though he retains his loyalty to Pike Security regardless. Needless to say, he only respects the law as much as he needs to in order to stay out of a jail cell.

History: War is in the Kastrati families very veins-throughout the history of the family, their blood has been spilled on just about any frontline and for any cause you care to name. They’ve fought for capitalism, they’ve fought for communism, they’ve fought for peace, they’ve fought for conquest, they’ve fought to defend governments and to overthrow them-there are few places and even fewer causes in the world that haven’t seen Kastrati blood spilled in their name. This generation of this bloody, war-hungry family has been no exception.

Nemo Kastrati, Megaera’s father, has been the driving force in the family in this century-having turned the family hobby into an organized, profitable profession. Pike Security. A private military contractor that’s been deployed to hot spots the world over, to guard and conquer, defend and destroy. In short, Nemo Kastrati has done his family proud.

Megaera, as one might imagine, was just as eager and willing as his father was to add his own glory to the family name. From a young age, he trained, learned and observed, waiting for the moment he could join his father in the family profession. Indeed, in many ways this was the only option available to the young Kastrati-as one might imagine the family of a soldier of fortune is often on the move as contracts and security agreements take them to nations all over the globe. Regardless of his options or reasons however, Megaera joined up, officially, with Pike Security the very day he reached the age of majority.

The next few years of his life are, in his (slightly twisted) view, the best of his life. Moving from conflict to conflict, nation to nation, job to job and, in his words; “Seeing new places, meeting interesting people and then blowing them up.” Morally dubious as many of Pike Security’s jobs were, Megaera proved himself to be enthusiastically loyal, an able combatant and a bold soldier-contracts he signed didn’t just buy a gun, but his loyalty, a fact that spoke well of Pike Security.

As one might expect however, someone who enjoys combat and the “rush” that comes with it does not make the most pragmatic, logical soldier. During a particularly “bold” (stupid) move during pitched combat, Megaera was badly injured and lost sight in one of his eyes, compromising his abilities as a soldier-and giving his now-worried father a long-awaited reason to send him back to their home country on “leave”. Having lost his dream career, and seeing little other option, Megaera took a job at Club Lush and began the slow process of invading his liver with copious amounts of booze.

Amaya Tsukino

Amaya Tsukino

Age: 21

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 118 lbs

Likes: Writing, Singing, Music, Nature, Sleep, Animals, Taekwondo/Martial Arts, Silence, Rain, Thunderstorms, Night, and Books.

Dislikes: Mornings, Needles, Heights, Pain, Enclosed Spaces, Sports, and Being Bored.

Party Trick: Amaya knows many martial arts tricks and can break boards.

Profession: Amaya is a student at Shine City Academy. She is majoring in Biomedical Engineering, and minoring in Psychology. She also works part time as a waitress at a fancy traditional Japanese restaurant called the Tiny Snowflake located in Shine Junction.

Amaya's Work Uniform

Bio/Personality: Amaya grew up with two extremely busy parents as an only child. Her mother and father owned a consulting company together, so she had a lot of money growing up. She originally started taekwondo because she was alone a lot, and her parents worried about her well being. Eventually she grew to love it and started taking many other forms of martial arts. When Amaya went into college, she wanted to go away from her home and be more adventurous, but she still wanted to live in a larger city, which is why she choose Shine City Academy. She lives in the dorms on campus to get the full college experience (plus she didn't know anyone going into the academy Freshman year). Amaya didn't want to rely on her parent's money, so she got a part time job, which she absolutely loves. Amaya decided to work there because she enjoys traditional Japanese culture and also she thought the uniforms were very pretty on her (not that she'd admit that to anyone). The pay is enough to get her by, with a bit to spare on a good day. In the past couple months, Amaya has been rigerously studying for school, but now that summer break is rapidly approaching, she doesn't really know what to do with herself. She's going to be kicked out of her dorm pretty soon and her roommate Rachel is spending most of her break traveling.

Amaya is a quiet person, especially with strangers. She sometimes gets social anxiety because she's not used to interacting with others. Amaya is very good at handling small children, although she doesn't really like to spend time with them. Once one gets to know Amaya, she can be very kind and gentle. She cares a lot for what little friends she has. She can be silly at times and enjoys laughing with others. However, she does have a limit. If you ever get on her nerves or are rude to her, she is terrifying. Since she is well trained in martial arts, she isn't afraid to hurt others. Especially if you hurt her friends. Amaya finds the way others think interesting. She's also a great listener, but has trouble comforting. Not that she doesn't try her best in doing so. Amaya also has pocrescophobia, or the fear of gaining weight. She has never told anyone this. And while she isn't anorexic or bulimic, she is a health nut. So she works out regularly, and does her best to eat healthy foods. She also makes sure to never measure her weight. While it isn't severe, it still affects her from time to time.

Age: 22
Appearance:

Yutaro

Height: 6’1’’
Weight: 185 lbs.
Likes: games, horror movies, fine dining, jazz, reading, flirting.
Dislikes: camping, violence, bad cooking, laziness, rude behavior, getting stuck in the rain.
Party Trick: Knows a variety of card tricks and mind games. Is also very good at billiards.
Profession: Dealer at Shine City Player’s Casino
Bio/Personality: Yutaro is a mellow young man who is most often seen wearing a welcoming smile. He likes to meet new people, but usually keeps conversations casual, reserving more personal information for those he becomes close with. Not one for conflict, he'd rather go with the flow than argue with someone... or just leave if the company is unbearable. Yutaro has dated several girls in the past few years, but has not been in a serious relationship since he broke up with his high school sweetheart. Yutaro is an all-around gaming enthusiast, be it card games, video games, board games, or gambling. He received a degree in business and moved to Shine City to find his fortune. He obtained a job at the City Player’s Casino and has intentions to move into upper management. He lives alone in his apartment, and is currently building up his savings so he can begin his own business endeavors.

However, the incident last winter shook the young man up pretty hard. He found it hard to sleep and when he did he would often have graphic nightmares as the scene unfolded before him over and over again. He took some time off of work, and now insists he is okay. He continues to wear his pleasant mask at work and in public, but it is just that, a mask. Strangers would never guess that anything is wrong, but his friends would notice that something is a bit off. And, for certain reasons, he never told his family what happened, so the stresses at home have been adding to the ordeal. Perhaps in time things will get better, or perhaps his mask will begin to crack.

Eidel Shain

Age: 18

Appearance

Profile picture on her main social network, present day.

A photo taken of Eidel during a trip to Japan for her sixteenth birthday.

Eidel, after breaking up with her fourth boyfriend, at fifteen years old.

Height: 160 cm // 5’3”

Weight: 58 kg // 127 lb.

Likes

For activities, Eidel especially likes reading, music, sight-seeing, making home-made teas, games and… she doesn’t really know what else. Having spent most of her youth either studying, trying to be social and sticking with whichever group or clique that accepted her, she never really had time to develop her own hobbies.
As for various subjects, she enjoys the following:
-Learning and studies
-Languages
-Technology
-Organization
-Otaku-ism (very closeted about it, however)
-Socializing (?)
-New things, interesting, unique people

Dislikes

She denies disliking many things and this is mostly the case, as Eidel is fairly open to new things, but a lot of the time, she does dislike a given thing and just wants to fit into a group.
However, things she dislikes for sure are the following:
-Rejection
-Loneliness
-An excess of excitement, though she still seeks it
-Drinking, most of the time
-Smokers
-Love (ironically enough, as she wants to have it more than anyone she knows)

Party Trick: Can easily, really easily, disappear from any situation. Close your eyes for ten seconds and she’s gone. Also amazing at fighting games, but literally only those by Arc System Works.

Profession: Student of Classical Philology, French Language and Slavic Studies at Shine City Academy, looking for part-time job.

Personality/Bio: Being a newcomer to a place like Shine City and Shine County would make anyone shy, but when you take someone who’s socially awkward and yet aching for socialization and love, despite vocally refusing the latter, you get a rather particular person.

Meet Eidel.

Shorter and lighter than most, she is oftentimes shy and oftentimes too outspoken, plus with an appearance that doesn’t beg too much attention, the girl easily disappears into most sceneries. When little should be said, she says too much and when so much is needed, she can only say a fraction of what is necessary. After spending most of her childhood starved of most affection by her parents and being an only child, she went through most of her teenage years constantly seeking friendships and socialization. Instead of getting over her social ineptness, she ended up going from clique to clique, interest to interest and was stuck with the “bragging right” of having had four boyfriends and yet never had her first kiss. Around the age of fifteen, her parents suddenly realized they had a teenage daughter and she abandoned her social ventures to focus on studies and her very few hobbies, as well as spending time with her parents. Though she constantly told herself that she hated love, that it just wasted her time and hurt her, it’s one of her main desires, but after four disasters of relationships, she can’t even imagine how to get it, whether it's with a man or a woman. Now, in a new place, she has new opportunities, but it’s up to her if she’ll seize the day, discover who she is and what she wants, or let herself fade into obscurity.

[Stern Algorithm]

Name (Surname, Personal Name): Otonashi Shizuka
Age: 22
Appearance:

School Uniform

Previous Work Uniform

Reading Glasses

Traditional

Formal Gown

Height: 166 cm (5'5")
Weight: 45 kg (100 lbs)
Likes: Animals especially cats, nature, cooking, intellectuals, philosophy, selflessness, family, order, humility, tradition. Shizuka has become sort of an 'otaku' in her own right as she recently started playing the collectible card game, "Wizardry: The Collective", and competes in tournaments at the Lancom Arcade. Her favorite location is the Aquarium.
Dislikes: Cruelty, arrogance, noise, disorder, conflict, crowds, shallow attraction, lack of commitment, insincerity, dishonesty
Party Trick: Unexpectedly good pencil sketch portraits due to her observant nature and dexterity.
Profession: Shizuka is a graduate student at Shine City Academy, majoring in veterinary science. She used to be a teaching assistant to Dr. Shou Matsuoka's biology class but she has fulfilled her TA requirements and no longer TA's, spending more time on her research project. She used to work part-time as a waitress at the Shining Kettle, a cafe on Shine Junction, but she has quit that as well since it reminds her of Alban. Now she works part-time as a clerk at a bookstore on Shine Junction called, The Bookmark.
Bio/Personality: Shizuka is quiet and demure, but is extremely supportive and committed to friends and especially to family. To people she doesn't know, she can act formal and respectful, overcoming her inherent shyness. She is capable and skilled and takes care of herself, but her modesty is so deeply ingrained that she tends to sell herself short, downplay her contributions, and take herself for granted. However, she is not depressed, she simply thinks this way to motivate herself to always do more. She feels others are far more deserving of attention and may become awkward and uncomfortable if people become attracted to her. Shizuka lived with her parents and sister in another city, but when she got into Shine City Academy's graduate program, she moved here and is now living in the dorms. When she was younger, several boys had approached her with romantic interests and she had turned them down for two main reasons: she doesn't think they would be interested in her if they spent time with her because she considers herself uninteresting and average at best, and she could sort of tell that they were just physically attracted to her, in love with the idealized 'concept' of who they wanted her to be instead if who she really was. So she has never been in a relationship and is not looking for one, but a deep emotional connection based off of mutual understanding and real appreciation may bring her out.

Broken-hearted heartbreaker, a summary of past events.

Shizuka's life changed one day when she heard her name announced on the radio by the young and independent radio host, Nick Weston. He was going through his list of young and attractive people. Out of a sense of modesty, she sought to confront him to let him know that he had made a mistake. Upon meeting him, he expressed a desire to be friends with her. After several friendly outings, it soon became apparent that he had become infatuated with her. Unused to the attention and sensing incompatibility, Shizuka awkwardly turned him down, a decision she feels wasn't wrong, but feels guilty for regardless.

It was revealed in passing when she visits her family for Christmas, that she had a crush on a boy in high school, but her best friend and cousin had a crush on the same guy and unknowingly came to Shizuka for help and advice. During the visit, Shizuka feels a bit of pride and emptiness to see her cousin happily married to that man and with their first child who was recently born. While honored to hold the baby, it brought tears to Shizuka's eyes. The nostalgia and regret made her cut the visit short.

One day while working, a single-father named Alban Voclain and his daughter, Stella, came into the Shining Kettle, as did a man named Zac Yoxall. Zac was an up-and-coming magician and entertained Stella, prompting the owner and barista of the Shining Kettle to hire him on the spot, which would make Zac and Shizuka coworkers until Shizuka eventually quits. During her childish shenanigans, Stella hits her head on the underside of a table, causing her to cry. Shizuka's motherly response brings her closer to Alban. Having been friend's for a short while, Alban eventually decides to invite Shizuka to the New Year's Eve masquerade ball. Unfortunately, Alban saw someone he mistook for his ex-wife, the woman who abandoned him and their daughter, and got himself incredibly inebriated in rage. To make the doppelganger jealous, he dances with Maribelle, Stella's violin teacher. Alban and Mari then make off into the night for some drunken sex, leaving Shizuka alone at the ball. There she meets Kazuma Watanabe, a mute who invites her to another party. With her ride home gone, Shizuka accepts, only to arrive at the mansion of young pop-idol Amity Bellerose. There she meets Amity and Amity's childhood friend, Kyle Parker, who are preparing for a night of drunken madness. Shizuka participates, if only to drown out the encroaching sense of abandonment.

And that's where our story ended. Six months have passed since then, and Shizuka has burned a few bridges and entrenched herself deeper in 'modesty', which is a euphemism she uses for her lack of self-worth. While she enjoyed Kazuma, Amity, and Kyle's company, she has maintained a professional distance with them as she doesn't want to be reminded of that night, the same night that a horrible shooting occurred at that same ball that she had left. She has quit the Shining Kettle where she first met Alban and Stella and has begun working at The Bookmark in a position that draws considerably less attention. She has also stopped TAing for Dr. Matsuoka due to her having fulfilled her requirements.

Name: Scott Cawthorn Whittaker

Age: 26

Height: 6ft 1

Weight: "Well wouldn't you like to know"

Likes: Soda, The Cornerstone, Honesty Peace and Quiet, Books, Anime, Jazz, 80's Power Rock, Money, Witty Commentary, Black Humor, His Cat, hawt chix Reading, Rainy Days, Cold Climates, Firearms, Fighting Games, Tabletop RPG's and Sleeping

Dislikes: Loud People, Loiterers, People who don't tip, Rap, Crowds, Strobe Lights, Staying Awake, His Cat, ugly chix Warm Temperatures, Being too hot, boisterous parties, false people. Utterly despises cigarettes and other forms of smoking

Party Trick: "Parties charge extra, keep the noise down"

Profession: Proud owner and sole bartender of The Cornerstone, the bar directly beneath his appartment, as such he's usually very busy from open to close, usually about 4:00 pm to 2:00 AM on weekdays, 3:30 to 1:30 on weekends. With some exceptions. (Read: Whenever he damn well pleases)

Personality: To say Scott is versatile would be an understatement. Though by his own admission he despises crowds and is normally very quiet. He possess his family's signature "Merchant's Smile" which he uses to throw up a polite and sincere veneer to all of his customers. He can be very cordial and is generally curteous to strangers, especially females. Beware, curteous though he may be, he speaks his mind and he speaks it often, with little consideration for how dry or morbid he can come across. Coincidentally this makes him a very honest person, a trait he acknowledges and expects a modicrum of from others. When one gets to know him he can come off as eccentric, rambling on about ideas and theories while also doling out sage advice. Often flipping from serious to casual in tone and expression. There is some truth in these traits; however, he masks his true personality beneath them, hiding a pensive, lonely individual. The irony of his distaste for dishonesty and false appearences is very apparent to him and can serve to excaberate his own exsasperation with himself. He often thinks about opening up to people close to him but maturity hasn't quite beaten the visceral fear of heartbreak that he has acquired from his childhood.

He has an addictive personality, which is why hr guzzles down glass after glass of soda. He doesn't dare start drinking his own wares because he knows full well what'll happen to him if he does. One current quandary of his is how his own weakness to addictions would affect him if he were to slip and fall in love. Fortunately for him he's never found out. He is a very private person and absolutely hates sharing information about himself if he doesn't need to. He does believe in equivalent exchange however, so he will give more details than normal if someone offers their own details. His belief in honesty has also fostered a sense of trust, and he will never give away a secret if he can help it.

Overall not someone you'd invite to a party, but a loyal and trustworthy friend that you can say damn near anything to.

Bio: Scott's life was relatively peaceful and uneventful. The death of his beloved Grandfather when he was 7 rocked the boy's world, and turned the normally cheerful and gregarious Scott into a quiet, withdrawn kid. His parents dealt with their own grief and unknowingly left him to his own devices. This led to him being stilted and awkward growing up, as such he withdrew more and more until coming under a depression, which lasted the majority of his child and young adult life until one day he finally decided that he was tired of feeling sorry for himself.

When he finally left the house, his parents revealed to him a surprise. His Grandfather had left him an inheritance, enough for him to live a comfortable, yet modest lifestyle for the rest of his life. At first he spent a considerable amount of time traveling the world, not staying in one place for too long of a time. Once he finally tired of the lifestyle he decided to settle in the next town or city he visited, that happened to be Shine City. It didn't take him long to find out about an old rundown bar on the floor directly beneath his apartment. On a split decision he decided to buy the place, using up the last of his inheritence in the fees of owning, refurbishing, and restocking it. After a couple months of refurbishing and getting everything set and in order, he's able to open up to a new chapter of his life.

Certified Pigeon Chaser and Poet

~ Aya ~

---

---

NAME:
Aya Kagamine

AGE:
24

APPEARANCE:
A skyscraper of a Japanese woman, Aya stands at around 5'9. Her hair is thick and short, and her eyes are quite thin and sharp. There's also a small beauty spot at the bottom of her lip. Despite her personality, Aya chooses her outfits wisely, donning a different hat each day with an outfit to match. She also wears glasses, but only when she's reading unnecessarily small text. Funnily enough, her eyebrows are quite thin, something people usually tease her for (and something she usually beats people up for saying such things).

HEIGHT:
5'9

WEIGHT:
132 lbs

LIKES:
Reading
Racoons
Spicy food
Writing
Poetry with deep meanings
Writing
Scaring away flocks of pigeons (when there's no one around, of course.)
Writing
Taking walks in the park (especially early in the morning)
Chewing things (mostly gum)

DISLIKES:
Beaches
Sweet food
Heavy rain
Aeroplanes (Lord she's terrified of 'em)
The deep end of the swimming pool (or the fucking sea)
Getting lost in the middle of nowhere
Lettuce (there's a story behind that)
Fonts that are too damn small to read

PARTY TRICK:
Aya's surprisingly good at thinking up decent rhymes on the spot. She's also not too bad as a singer, either.

OCCUPATION:
Cashier at the Eye For Fashion boutique.

PERSONALITY:
Aya is usually seen as this calm and quiet person who will really only speak when spoken to. She's always the one to linger in the background, and her often aloof behaviour and sharp featured face definitely gives off a stay-the-hell-away-from-me impression. In reality though, Aya is just a firework that could be set off at any moment. Stubborn and having a no-nonsense and brutally honest attitude, Aya doesn't really attract much positive attention. If you delve a bit more into reality however, you'll find the true, hidden Aya. Going into depth about this confused lady that doesn't know what to do in life would ruin the experience though, so you guys will just have to discover what this girl's really like on your own.

But in conclusion, just don't piss Aya off. Like, ever. Once the spark lights the fire, there's no going back.

Aya also has her fair share of quirks and habits as well. She tends to chews on the ends of her pens (especially when she's stressed or nervous) and is surprisingly an early riser. Her voice is actually a bit deep, but it doesn't take an abnormally high IQ to figure out she's a woman.

BIO:
Ever since not so little Aya was born, her single mother had always been struggling to keep their lives together. From their apartment to their bookstore that was barely standing on its two feet financially, the first few years of Aya's time walking on Earth was a hard time for her mother. However, not wanting her child to be affected by such things, a smile would cover her stress, and laughter would conceal her sadness. Aya was still young then, so she didn't really notice.

Then, in her first year of high school, her mother fell ill after overworking herself. It would take about a month or so for her to fully recover, but that month would be the time where Aya realised what her mother had been going through the second she was born. It was painful to discover such things at a time of bleakness and distress.

Although Aya's passion for writing poetry had been present with her ever since childhood, a conflict within her began to boil up. She'd always wanted to become a poet of some sort, but would it be enough to fill Aya's pockets when she desperately needed it? Going for a much more 'praised' job would have been, well, better, right?

Then, the time finally came for the two to part ways. Aya would have to make her own breakthrough into the real world, leaving her mother behind and leaving herself filled with worry concern. Weekly phone calls would become a thing once Aya had moved in elsewhere, and the only thing the woman hoped for was that her mother would pick up every single time she called.

Name: Vern Closet Smith AKA:"The Limit Breaker"

Age: 29

Appearance: Loose, long sleeved, button down shirts with dark slacks, a black woven belt, and slip-on dark shoes make up Vern's normal attire. He has black hair with subtle brown streaks and dark brown eyes. Under his modest clothing, Vern is faintly defined all over. His entire body is evenly toned but he still has enough surface fat to be a comfortable pillow should the need arise.


Theme: youtube.com/watch?v=ND236ej70Tc
Height: 5'11"

Weight: 165lbs

Likes: complex and subtle flavors, natural medicines, exotic spices, cooking, subtlety and complexity in music or art, up-front honesty, decisiveness, quiet, discussion, people, Co-op gaming, thinking things through, clothes that fit the person and not just the persona, healthiness

Dislikes: Delusions, contempt, closed minds, passing judgement, crowds, plastic, PVP addicts, excessive improvization, excess in general, revealing outfits, predatory behavior, incompetence, guys who walk out on commitments, doctors and medicine

Party Trick: Vern knows a few things about getting the most out of the body he's got. In short, he can lift, break, bend, throw, or catch things that should be too heavy for someone with his build. But, "limit breaking" can cause deep bruising and other soft tissue injuries. He can also go from extremely coordinated and precise to epic clumsy as soon as he gets distracted by conversation. He can't walk and talk at the same time.

Profession: Recently managed to acquire his first business, a small bookstore and supply outfit called Ink Sparks located just off a shady corner of the mall parking lot. You know, the spot with the graffiti and the flickering streetlights. It turns out that this tiny storefront bookstore actually maintained wholesale connections and used its extra large backroom to process and ship large orders of books out to schools, libraries and other institutions. The prior owner had dabbled in... other kinds of shipping, damaging the store's reputation and attracting the wrong crowd of customers. However, the legitimate portion of the business was easily profitable as it was. Vern was lucky, and he only had to modify a little of the business. But, it would still take awhile for its reputation to recover from prior scandals, resulting in higher profits. In the meantime, Vern continued living in his apartment and caring for the building, carefully saving money and looking for his next business acquisition.
Bio/Personality: Vern started out as the youngest child in a successful family. His grandfather had started with a truck and passed on a farm, a store, a small shipping business, and a storage complex to his children when he died from a heart attack at 78. His widow never had to work for money after he passed and she never lacked for the company of her children since several of them stayed close to home, taking over the management of the family businesses.

Vern's father had the management of the shipping business. That kept him close enough to home and productive enough that, by the time Vern was 18, the man owned a locksmith's shop and a small auto body shop as well. He was well on his way to achieving what Vern's grandfather, his father-in-law, had. Then he started losing weight.

The cancer wasn't fast but it was stubborn. After almost two years Vern's father passed away, not from cancer, but from the chemo and radiation. The cancer had never gotten bigger than a small button. The condolences from the doctors felt less than hollow that day.

Not satisfied with the doctors and their excuses, Vern started studying alternatives to commonly accepted medical practice. His family supported him financially but retained some distance. In their eyes it was just a way of grieving the loss of his father. In a way, part of it was. But then he started finding things. Herbal remedies for cancer that had hardly any side-effects and were not toxic to the patient were the discovery that really turned it from a grief quest to a crusade. He was going to change the world, re-discover these millenia old cures that worked so well for so long, and fix all the evils of modern medicine.

Then the law stopped him. It had actually been made illegal to practice herbal medicine over a hundred years before, back when modern medicine was still in its infancy. So, no matter how hard he looked, Vern wasn't able to find anyone who could teach him the finer points of natural medicine. The crusader spirit died. But, he knew that people were stubborn. Somewhere, hidden in something legal, would be part of what he was looking for. Then he found martial arts, yoga, and the wonders of aroma therapy. Martial arts preserved the understanding of the body with an eye toward using it to break things without suffering injuries. Yoga preserved a profound respect for the body's own ability to heal and the belief that the body's energy could be generated and channeled. Aroma therapy used herbal effects to alter the mind and affect the body. Vern studied all of them but he was no super-student.

He aquired a part of two martial arts, Karate and Aikido, and pair those parts with yoga's emphasis on relaxed extension and mastery of the breath. Then he used what he learned from aroma therapy and began using the oils of medicinal herbs on himself directly, as well as the aroma. The effects were both subtle and significant. He gained a good amount of strength, mostly in his core muscles instead of his arms and legs, and he stopped getting sick as often or for as long. Still, even with those results, he wasn't able to go farther without a proper teacher who knew how to take personal health and make it professional. So, he was stuck. Vern's family were also beginning to lose patience with him. He was rapidly becoming the family's first "black sheep" in generations. They stopped sending money.

So, he looked for work. Being stubborn, upset, and 21, along with some odd situations of questionable legality, resulted in him setting off with a traveling freak show as their newest attraction, "The Limit Breaker". He wasn't on stage alone for months but shared the scene with the group's "Strong Man". It was a fact that he couldn't lift as much weight as the far larger man, but when he slipped during a trick and accidentally threw a 150lb barbell toward the small crowd Vern lived up to his stage name. He got a hand on the barbell and managed to plant it into the stage hard enough that it snapped some of the boards, and he did it with a smile and a victory pose as though it was all part of the act.

It took a week for his arm to heal and another week for it to change back to normal colors instead of a mix of lime green and royal purple, but he was famous. He was glad that he wore a mask and went shirtless during that performance. It was different enough from his normal dress that he was still able to disappear after shows. And there were a lot of shows. Videos captured by cell phones went viral on the internet and the size of the crowds trippled, seemingly overnight. The business was booming. But, the fangirls were becoming a problem.

He was having a harder and harder time getting away without letting anyone get a look at his face. They all had cell phones and the mask was creating a sense of mystery that just kept pulling them in. Eventually, after their last show in Shine Junction, "The Limit Breaker" quit the show and walked away at the height of his popularity with his earnings. He still exchanges e-mails with his former co-worker, the "Strongman". But, other than that he has no real connections other than family.

It took a couple nights at hostels before he found a place that suited him. It was small and out of the way. One of two small apartment additions built on top of a three story, four bedroom house. To get to it he had to follow the, fairly clean, alley around back and then climb three flights of wood stairs that were slippery when wet and worse when icy. But, the owner of the building hadn't been able to get any renters for the house or the other apartment so he cut Vern's rent in half in exchange for help with maintaining the building until it became profitable again. With the reduced rent, Vern could afford the place easily enough but he needed to find a job. Specifically, he needed a job where he could avoid talking to people or attracting attention while getting enough money to take care of business.

He had his personal goals but it was time to live up to the example his father and grandfather had given him. He needed to establish himself so that, if he ran into the right girl, he could take care of her properly so that she could have freedom to live worry free if he happened to die before he planned. It was time to take that budding tradition to the third generation. Step one, get back to earning money and work on finding businesses to buy.

Since coming to Shine City, Vern's outlook on life has changed only slightly. Being present for a murder, even when the details were out of his view, and befriending his cross-chasm neighbor have caused him to be even more careful about things in general. He is more inclined to worry than ever, especially since his new friend had a stalker problem and a couple neuroses to season her life with danger. Still, in spite of these factors, Vern has not seen or heard from his neighbor in weeks. He worries constantly but strives to distract himself with work, hoping to hear from her soon.

Also, though he has never been a very social person, he has begun to seek social venues for the sake of practice. He is a business owner now. He needs to be able to move casually in various social circles without embarrassing himself or weakening his business reputation. However, he has avoided clubs in favor of visiting various cafes and restaurants for these practices.

Sabine Revamped!

5'5 | 117 lbs.

Sabine D'Aramitz

25

Play me songs that immerse me in the mood...

...just make sure the verses aren't too crude.

I've always loved the sappy love songs and peaceful music, but not when people abuse the lyrics.

It's funny how I find myself when lost in the moment...

...I lose myself when I own it.

I'm never quite there up on the screen, believe it or not; I'd be very different if a few things could be taught.

Tell me I'm a good person to be around...

...but only if you're telling me the truth.

I like it when we're honest to each other; no euphemisms, no roundabouts - just your honesty from your mouth to my mouth.

Among other likes, Sabine has a preference for (extremely) muscular men, as well as money (comes with the die-hard high-rise life), and (quite secretly) substances no one in their right mind should be touching. It's how most of her relationships prior to coming here were touch first, cuddles later. In fact, touch is more of a commodity than proof of love, which as of late hasn't garnered any lasting relationships.

Among other dislikes, she hates drama / scandal on any scale, detests relationship advices, and loathes mornings. It's a bad habit to immediately clock out by sunrise, but if it means sneaking a cuddle or two with her...

...well, if you can pay the hours, maybe she'll be fine with that.

Trick :

"I can still do a Rubik's Cube with three shots of cognac, if that counts! And uh...same with most other logic games. Jenga, Tic-Tac, Mindsweeper, Chess, Malancala..."

Profession:

• Camgirl - 100% questionable, 100% profitable.
• Owner of the increasingly popular D'Aramitz Delivery. She's chef, deliveryman, and business owner all rolled in one.

Bio/Personality:

Sabine came in from another city far-off from here, a place where the wealthiest came to purchase premium services in a certain hotel chain. Her hometown, once a simple tourist-stop village, became a prime-time vacation spot, and with the influx of tourists also came the eviction of her house and gym to provide more room for the hotel. By then, Sabine was already a "working lady" right out of her graduation from her high school, and had made enough money to fly over to Shine City For a permanent residence, but the money pool wasn't nearly big enough to pay for the money to continue the education most others would have by her age. Over here, she found no opportunities to continue her old way of life, and so she quietly slipped into the town to do the odd job or three, until she could be kept as a main-stay aid for cooking. Who knew she had it in her to live her old childhood fantasies?

As of recently, with the last few months of adjustment, everything has reverted back to the lifestyle she had once fled from. Given, she's free from the influence of pimps and drugs now, but between the webcams and the by-the-meal pay she gets delivering home-cooked courses to students at the Academy, romance has had even less time than before. That, and the incident still lingers in her mind...

...say, she forgot to tell her neighbor that she moved closer to the Academy for ease of delivery.

Shit.

So, if you haven't noticed yet, she's quite the busybody. Rents to pay, jobs to work, and let's not forget the fact that she's 25! (Old enough for a quarter-life crisis!)

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 136 lbs

Likes: Building, wood, metal, iron, copper, though she will not admit it flowers, big buildings, innuendos, pets, music, and stargazing.

Dislikes: Most fancy stuff (besides buildings of course), her background, overly fancy diners, pink, metal (the music genre), and her parents.

Party Trick: She can build almost anything that people want her to, with some time.

Profession: Carpenter.

Bio/Personality: Aki could be described as a tough, direct, sarcastic, brutally honest, no-nonsense girl. She is vocal and vulgar about her opinions on others, regardless of their status. She has a carefree and adventurous attitude, now that she doesn't have to care about her parents' expectations. She's actually well educated in proper manners; she merely chooses to ignore them consistently, save a few exceptions.

She likes being independent, but really only does it because she hated her life with her parents. If she had a choice, she would choose to live with someone else rather than just being alone forever. She gets lonely, but her outspoken nature sometimes drives people away.

From lying a lot to her parents and others about her family, she can usually tell when other people are, unless they're really good at it. She tries to tell the truth more often if it's a question she'd want to answer.

Aki was born as the only child of a housewife and a very famous lawyer. They were both very proper and good-mannered people, but they treated Aki as a fragile doll. This lead to her being very rebellious against them, and refused almost everything they told her to do.

Her career as a carpenter started from a young age; she met one that her father was working for and asked him if he could teach her how to build some things. The man showed her the hopes, and she grew to love building anything and everything from the smallest desk to a computer to a skyscraper. Her parents were not happy with this. They commanded Aku to never pick up a hammer every again, which she promptly replied with:

Mama, papa, you might as well bend down, shine my fucking shoes, and kiss my ass. I love what I do, I've gone this far and I'm sure as hell not going to quit now.

which enraged her parents. They never stopped telling her to quit it, but she never listened.

Somewhere along the way, she found out that she could live in an apartment for the time being with the money she gets from being a carpenter and the jobs she gets. So, she ended up getting out of the house late at night and never went back. It took her a while to get used to it, but now she's well off living where she is now.

Bio/Personality
Arty is a real softy at heart, though this should be expected from a man who grew up in a house with five older sisters and three younger ones. He grew up being told how he had to respect a lady and how to appreciate the more feminine things in life, like good home cooked meals. Though things weren't all sweet in Arty's life seeing as his dad was a mean drunk that liked to knock his wife and kids around, often waving his old revolver around to threaten them even further. This went on for years until Arty was about thirteen and he finally stood up to his dad. It was a pretty bad fight, but Arty won and kicked the scum out of the house, telling him that he wasn't aloud anywhere near his family from that point onward. Seeing himself as the man of the house Arty got himself a bunch of odd jobs to help bring some money in. After a while though Arty was able to find himself a job in Shine City that was paying more than double all his odd jobs combine were. So he packed up and moved, he still sends as much money as he can back to his Mum and three little sisters, his older sisters had already moved out a while ago.
