Mizumi is a small town, nestled between forested mountains and a crystal lake. Despite its scenic beauty, it doesn't have much in the way of tourism, with roads between it and the next city over being ill-repaired and unlit, whilst the only trains stopping at the station are delivering goods. Yet despite this, it still has two high schools--one male, one female--even though they only have three classes each.

Why? Quite simply: Mizumi is a hotbed for the supernatural. Youkai newly coming down off the mountains, more urban spirits seeking a bit of peace and quiet, aliens who arrived to the Earth on an out-of-the-way hillside... all of them filtering through, and needing some form of education. A few disastrous accidents involving succubi and yuki-onna later, it was decided that two schools would be better than one, whilst also solving the increasing crowding problem the initial buildings were facing.

Thus, just outside of town proper, grounds stretching right up to the waters' edge, is the all-girls' school. Peaceful, picturesque... and only about a third of the school's population is actually human.

So, this is going to be both a yuri RP (meaning that if you aren't interested in that sort of thing, it isn't for you) and a very slice-of-life scenario without inbuilt drama. So, whilst this means monsters and aliens are common, they're going to be looking more like this and this than this and this. Basically: cute girls, without backstories leading up to 'there will be an enormous tragedy in the roleplay'--think of K-On! and the like for tone.

The other rule: within the first few days of the roleplay, despite knowing each other, I would rather not have characters pairing up and outright going out, because that too easily descends into a race to pair everyone up and I don't wish to get stuck in a situation where everyone my character talks to is already in a relationship again. So is pairing people up OOC within a similar timespan.

The cat mode picture also contains a side view of the uniform, I guess. Western rather than a sailor uniform. Ribbons are still important.

Name: Tsukihime Koneko

Age: 18

Race: Nekomata

Appearance:




Personality: Koneko has an immense weakness for cute things, and sometimes starts trailing cute girls with all the subtlety of a supernova. If she sees a cute toy, she'll buy it without hesitation, then fall asleep with it as soon as she gets home. Being a cat, she's prone to sleeping at times she really shouldn't, but she's generally friendly and excitable once awake--if far too physical for most people's liking.

Skills: Extremely agile and flexible, can see in the dark, can talk to cats, and she can turn from cat to human and back again--but rarely does so, because she has a bad habit of forgetting where her clothes are. She can also make the dead move about as she wishes, but Koneko hasn't the faintest idea why she'd want to use this ability or what it's actually supposed to achieve. In terms of skills valued by humans, she has absolutely nothing.

Hobbies: Napping in warm spots, collecting soft toys, obsessing over adorable girls.

Club(s): Ceaseless Remedial Classes. Not actually a club, but with her academic ability, sadly a necessity.

Background: For fifteen years, Koneko was simply a small cat looked after by first and old couple, and then simply an old man. It was then that she proved to be one of those lucky felines that not only lives a long time, but becomes a nekomata; her tail split and she gained full intelligence. In the modern world, it's become necessary to register such occurrences and set up the resulting people with a reasonably accurate birth certificate--plus, if possible, find a family willing to adopt them. In Koneko's case, the old man was quite happy to, having no children of his own and having owned her since she was merely a kitten.
Several months into her first year of high school, the old man passed away, leaving the girl with no education whatsoever as the sole inheritor of his possessions. Fortunately, he was... well, the primary shareholder of a vast international business empire, which was more or less run by other people at that stage anyway. Koneko is pretty much in the care of various employees, even as she steadily fills up her cavernous residence with cat after cat and stuffed toy after stuffed toy.
Being essentially uneducated and only in her current school on funding alone, she has no time for clubs and spends vast amounts of time making up tests and attending remedial classes. It's made worse by her tendency to doze off on warm days, especially since nothing has managed to stop her bringing part of her collection along with her.

Other: Size-wise, Nadeshiko beats her out by the height of her ears; Koneko is a tiny cat and this carries over.
Basically every first year is better at every single class--except P.E.--than Koneko. She is academically the worst person in school.

Whee~

Name: Kazamatsuri Nadeshiko

Age: 17

Race: Human

Appearance: Whee~ Note that she is probably the shortest (human) girl in her year. Please no-one make their character be so small that Nadeshiko has to practically be a midget.

Personality: Incredibly shy and incredibly socially awkward, and tends to fall apart rather quickly when made the center of attention. However, the other main defining part of her personality is that she is a massive pervert. She loves cute girls, and if it weren't for her crippling lack of self-confidence and inability to properly socialize she would probably be a legendary skirtchaser. Instead, she focuses her perverted attentions on erotic anime, manga and visual novels, and peeping on the swim team when they're training. She does like less explicit media, but a lot of the time she only chooses to watch or read things because they have cute girls in them. As can be surmised from her obsession with cute girls, Nadeshiko is very, very gay. Despite her shyness, she's not exactly in the closet; it happens to be one of the few things she is very up-front about, and the first thing people tend to note about her after her shyness. One more important trait to note about Nadeshiko is her general laziness; if something doesn't interest her she's not likely to bother doing it, and since she tends to only show interest in things that involve cute girls, well... There's a lot of things that don't interest her.

Skills: Nadeshiko doesn't really excel at much aside from art, and even then she is mostly preoccupied with drawing cute girls (and even then she is mostly preoccupied with drawing cute girls' naughty bits). She's small and not very atheletic, and as noted above her grades are average at best. She's by no means stupid, of course; she's just... Not exactly interested in most academical subjects enough to put in the effort to study. However, when something interests her she tends to show much more motivation; she puts her all into the things she loves, and thus amongst other things she has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of rather nerdy media, especially ones that involve lots of cute girls.

Hobbies: Manga and anime (...and hentai), visual novels, peeping on the swim team, writing erotic doujinshi, listening to extreme metal(!)

Club(s): Doujin Club

Background: Nadeshiko was so named in the hope that she would live up to the Japanese ideal of womanhood, but somewhere that went wrong. Instead of a confident, reliable, elegant young woman, she quickly turned into something of a shut-in. Her grades are average at best; she usually only just passes tests, and doesn't really excel at much, especially PE. However, her passion is art. She is a wonderful artist, able to expertly draw beautiful girls, beautiful girls kissing, beautiful girls sharing intimate moments... Mostly, she draws lesbian pornography. Her stories are well written enough, although it's clear that it's there mainly to set up for the main event. As far as her social life goes, it may as well not even exist; she has few if any friends due to her social awkwardness, leading her to be almost unable to talk at length with anyone other than her parents or older brother. Other than that, her life has been pretty average; her coming out wasn't much of a big deal, and she's mostly just kept to herself and her manga, anime and games.

Name: Mizushima Ayano
Age: 17
Race: Human
Appearance: "Well, I have to get to class..."
Personality: Ayano is a responsible girl. She does her homework dutifully, pays close attention in classes, and generally has spent her time in school in ways she feels is wise. In all respects, she appears to be a model student. She is also quite bookish, spending plenty of time in the library and in bookstores where she buys quite a large number of books. Ayano also enjoys manga and light novels. While she is not outright shy, she sometimes is a little awkward in unexpected social situations. She's quite comfortable with friends, though. She feels she is sensible girl who does sensible things in sensible ways. However, Ayano is easily embarrassed and flustered, and unusual situations tend to get a rather frantic reaction from her as she tries to return them to normalcy before someone gets in trouble for it. Though, in reality, she sometimes finds strange situations quite enjoyable. As long as no-one gets hurt. And her little sister doesn't get influenced by them.
Skills: Ayano is not the most physically fit person and can't do much in the way of just about anything you'd see in PE. However, she is an okay swimmer and is excellent academically.
Hobbies: Anime, manga, light novels, the occasional video game, and any literature she feels is good. Ayano also enjoys World History a great deal, but that's more of a subject then a hobby.
Club(s): The Book Club
Background: Ayano's life has been pretty normal, really. She has a ten-year-old sister whom she wants to be a good big sister for, and that's really about it. There's nothing extraordinary about her background or anything.

Name: Hebihime Sakurako
Age: 18
Race: Naga
Appearance: "Let's blow this joint."(to avoid weirdness she's actually human lower down then the picture shows, physically human until about her mid-thigh. But it's a safe site so they'd have to give her a skirt if they wanted to do that and all and I wouldn't be able to use the picture if they didn't. ^^;)
Personality: Sakurako is... aggressive. Aggressively friendly, aggressively loud, aggressive about her rock... She's not mean(unless you make her angry. She can be pretty unpleasant then), she's just... pretty aggressive. She's even somewhat foulmouthed, or at least moreso then the people around her. She is a very passionate person, and this passion displays itself most frequently when it comes to playing her guitar. To put it simply, she gets extremely into rocking out on her guitar. That's not to say she can't do slower songs, she just really likes rocking out. Sakurako is also prone to being tempermental and irritable when annoyed, going from somewhat foulmouth to extremely foulmouthed quite rapidly. Sakurako is openly gay and rather aggressive in her pursuit of pretty girls. She refers to this as "Being a carnivore."
Skills: Sakurako is quite a competent guitarist. She is also rumored to be worryingly effective with hurting things with her tail or a baseball bat. She's about average academically(though she suffers considerably in the math department).
Hobbies: Rocking out on her guitar, dark comedy series, regular comedy series, perverted comedy series, action, a surprisingly large amount of romance...
Club(s): The Light Music Club
Background: Sakurako was raised in a fairly normal fashion for her race, but throughout her childhood she demonstrated, well... even in Elementary school she tended to disregard rules, openly insult people who made her angry, and run out at night with a baseball bat and use it and her tail to beat up street thugs. Sakurako was, from a young age, quite the delinquent. By middle school, she had a red jacket and everything. And then... rather suddenly, shortly before high school, she mellowed out considerably(yes this is Sakurako after she's mellowed out), devoting a lot of time to her guitar. Really, even if it was obvious she was a delinquent, aside from the people she ran(slithered?) with it was hard to be sure if she was the one doing a lot of things. Nowadays it's just rumors. But even if she's kind of aggressive, the Light Music Club guitarist surely didn't do all that, right?

Name: Shiori Karpathy
Age: 49(she is the homeroom teacher) and yet, physically about 10.
Race: Vampire
Appearance: "This lens flare makes it hard to teach..."
Personality: Shiori does her absolute best to be a responsible and excellent teacher for her students. Regardless of this situation, she will endeavor to be the best teacher she can be. However, well... she is mentally and chronologically an adult, but physically... she's a little girl. She sometimes finds it a bit hard to be taken seriously. This is not helped by some of her habits, which include keeping a giant candy jar on her desk so she can have some while she's in charge, reading rather childish things(alongside the adult ones, though!), and generally having somewhat childish habits. When she's not on the job, though... Shiori can be a remarkably charming and rather domineering girl with a sarcastic streak. Indeed, it seems to be a total shift from how she acts when she's teaching. After all, Shiori can't set that kind of example when she's teaching. She can even tend towards the teasing and taunting type when she's not working. Though sometimes this bleeds through into her behavior when she's teaching, too.
Skills: Shiori can speak Hungarian, English, and Japanese fluently. She can teach well, and as a vampire she is faster and stronger then most humans. She must also drink blood in order to survive, but there are plenty of relatively harmless ways of doing that.
Hobbies: Collecting candies(the collection never lasts very long), baking, reading.
Club(s): Advisor for the baking club.
Background: The daughter of a Japanese woman and a Hungarian man, Shiori had a fairly normal life up until her tenth birthday, when one of her father's friends turned out to be a vampire and turned her after she suffered a life-threatening accident in order to save her life. While this meant she would survive, it also meant that she was frozen at her current age of ten years old physically-speaking. Regardless of this, she pursued an education and eventually sought to be a teacher. Years later, she now lives in Mizumi City, Japan, intending on being the best teacher she can be for the students there. She just also happens to be a vampire loli with a passion for frills.

Hopefully these give good examples of what characters for this should be like too, um, eh-heh.

Name: Honda Kaede

Age: 18

Race: Fairy! Sadly, this doesn't mean wings. It does mean being very very small.

Appearance:

Personality: For the most part, Kaede is quite reserved with her emotions, being both naturally rather unemotive and resigned to the fact that people tend to not notice herall that well. She is, however, quite easily worried when it comes to changing classrooms--like for a science experiment--and even getting home, looking quite plaintive and holding her arms up whilst hoping that somebody picks her up.
Scared of large animals.

Skills: Amazing stamina from having to walk with writing instruments to actually get anything legible down, and quite fast, too. She's got a surprisingly loud singing voice for such a tiny little girl. Plus she's pretty good at baking, though it's somewhat exhausting.

Hobbies: Watching TV, karaoke, food.

Club(s): Baking Club (Icing Specialist)

Background: Not much to say. Lives just down the road from the school, in what looks like a real-life dollhouse set on an earthy block to raise it to arm level.

Other: Tends to avoid wearing shoes, because she spends large amounts of time on furniture and other people's clothing, plus the difficulty of getting proper footwear in that sort of size.

I

Hate

This

Lag

Well, here's the newly-revised (and slightly extended) CS. I managed to edit and even add to her personality, but had to rewrite the bio from scratch.

-Notes down 'thunderstorms' for common weather.-

With the second character I'm slowly working on behind the scenes (and other things I won't discuss) I have absolutely no objections at all.

When I have said second, should I make it a new post or stick it in another hider under Amaya's?

I'm more likely to notice if you post it separately.

I wish you better luck with post lag than mine.

Here's the second girl I promised before. It's surprisingly difficult to write a bio about a dullahan, so hopefully the rest of the CS compensates for that ^_^;

New school rule: separate heads must be within view of the teacher. :P

If she has a surname for administrative reasons, she therefore has a surname. XD

"I need to see my student's faces. And you shouldn't be looking behind you in class, even if it's because your head isn't detached!"

Shiori agrees with this rule.

"Oh hey, that detached head looks yummy~ I specially love the part where it can't run from me! :D"

RolePlayerRoxas said "Oh hey, that detached head looks yummy~ I specially love the part where it can't run from me! :D"

...and that's the story of how Sekibanki x Kagerou became a major Touhou pairing. With Waggysaggy constantly showing up at everyone's windows and doors.
