Done, changed it in the Character section, so check it out and tell me what you think!

@Firecracker_ Looking good!

I've finished my own CS if anyone wants to have a look. The history was a bit tough to write since it hits so close to home but I hope you all like it!

@Midori Wow, that's... rough. I don't really know what to say to that. And I thought my backstory was tragic, but god dang.

I hope you're still accepting. If so here is my CS

Name: Arielle Bellemont

Alias/es: Arie
Age: 26

Height: 5' 8"

Weight: 135 Lbs

Complexion: Alabaster pale

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Brunette

Apparel: As pictured above, except she is wearing full length skinny jeans. She does not believe in luck, but always keeps a pocket emergency kit in her purse and a copy of "The God Delusion"

Personality: Analytical to a fault she overthinks everything, often getting lost in her own thoughts in the process. She really is kind hearted, and wishes people the best, but her serious personality can make her hard to work with. Sarcasm and abstract humor go over her head, and as a result she can take offence where none was meant. Or even worse she tries to be funny but it comes out wrong and offends those around her. As a result she tends to speak more formally than the average person, hoping her words have the appropriate meaning to the person she is talking to. Though she does look down on the religious as "thoughtless" she can still be professional and fully cooperate with them. Most of all though she loves being right and will correct people without invitation.

History: Arielle was born in Osaka to a loving mother and an abusive Evangelical father, both originally from France. At age 2 her mother ran away, taking the young Arielle with her. By age 4 her mother had settled down with a new lover, a woman named Narumi (or as Arielle called her "Mimi"). These women are the only family she ever remembers and for this she is very glad, but knowledge of her father's abuse and repression of her mother gave her a hatred of religion.

A natural student she always got high marks in school and would spend her free time reading all sorts of books. Despite being at best middle class somehow her mothers both ensured that their daughter had all the books she could ever want, which meant her tiny bedroom resembled a library with a small bed in it.

In high school she discovered her two true loves, genetics and debate. Even while keeping up he grades she took part in the debate team, though she never won any awards. Her junior year her name became well known in Japan when she published an open letter to a Catholic Cardinal, and the story took off in the media. The letter was outright blasphemy and accused the Catholic church, point blank, of preventing social progress and hypocrisy, using genetics to attempt to disprove Adam and Eve among other things.

The scathing letter earned her a fair number of haters, but also attracted colleges that wanted a bright mind that was highly motivated. Senior year she accepted an offer from University of Tokyo for a full ride scholarship (in exchange for her majoring in genetics and working for the department for 6 years after graduation). Through college she started accepting invitations to debates with various people, with some even becoming televised affairs. Her love of debate, and being right, kept her on this path and eventually she became a well known speaker for the atheist community.

The past several years since graduation have been rather simple, she works at the university to try and isolate the genes that cause cancer and spends her weekends doing debates with many officials over religion. An abrasive figure to say the least she met her match at a debate in her new home of Tokyo. During a televised debate with a Muslim cleric and extremist from the crowd charged the stage, slit her throat and stabbed her 36 times before security managed to restrain him. She bled to death on live tv, the woman that dared to challenge the world.

Other: She always kept a basic emergency kit in her purse (about the size of two Altoids tins) and pepper spray.

@Kenny1 First and foremost, as I've stated before I'm not accepting any more foreigners since they wouldn't find themselves in this situation due to things happening behind the scenes for the plot. Also, the character being a rich, famous, genius, and a child prodigy is a bit mary-sue. I'd like to see a bit more on her flaws because as it stands now she doesn't have any.

Ok. I'll update it after work :)

Thanks

@Midori @Kenny1 Not really an issue, but Japan isn't 'very Atheistic' nation, as most of them do pray to god and ancestors, or practice Shinto, though they don't identify with organized religion. Just a small inconsistency.

I'll include that in my update then. :)

It's mostly Shinto and Buddhist but there are a good amount of Christians too. I was actually a shrine maiden during my last two years in high school.

You a Japanese national or otherwise?

@Firecracker_Born and raised in Nagoya (^.^)

Nice! Where'd you learn such good English?

@Firecracker_ I studied abroad at UCLA

Oh dude cool. As a youngin, I got a few questions.

What did you major in, and how is California?

Just finished is this better? As a geneticist she is firmly middle class and despite being smart is arrogant and prideful.

@Firecracker_ I majored in Physics and Astronomy (or Astrophysics if you're cool). America in general just had everything bigger. Just anywhere you go they serve huge plates of food and people have big trucks or cars to get everywhere but the traffic was just as bad as cities like Tokyo and Chiba.

I drive a chevy 1500 Texas Edition so I don't think you'd have liked me. XD

@Kenny1 I never said it was a bad thing, it's just different to what I knew before. Anyway in regards to Arielle; I guess she's not technically a foreigner now and her achievements are more reasonable so I think that's about it. Although, having celebrity status may be a bit of an issue later but we'll see what happens. You are accepted.
