Speaking of which: Hnnnngh!!! I can't help but imagine this being the theme if Ryoki and Shou got together... Curse you, pirates; stealing my ship! ;-;
Uuuungh~ I liked the idea of Kaori being a devilish guy too much... Could I make a side character? Her twin brother which she has totally had the entire time hahahahhaha....haha...ha... PLEEEEEEASE @Dynamo Frokane?
Well, I heard someone needed more male characters. And, seeing as there's a bunch of high school children in this city, someone needs to step up and be the adult. lol

Profession:
Shine City Investigation Services
Private Eye
Bio/Personality:
Ever since he was a kid, Oliver always wanted the best. He grew up in Shine City, knowing the streets like the back of his hand, watching it grow and unfold before him. In a sense, the place was like a slightly older brother, both of em' sharing the same experiences, developing alongside another, the usual mopy dopy stuff. It was also his provider of luxury, giving him the high roller lifestyle he'd always dreamed of. Graduating at the police academy during his early twenties, he'd protected this city for a couple o' years, leaving the force when he decided there wasn't enough action. The Crime Rate was ridiculously low, nonexistent even. So when Oliver established his own investigation agency, he was surprised at how many people needed him.
Yet, not for the reasons he was expecting.
No, it was always some creepy stalker following their high school crush, a girlfriend suspecting their lover cheating on them, yadda yadda. What's with the youth in this place? What's with all this lovey, mushy, mumbo jumbo spewing everywhere?
People these days, had no refined taste, no clue on what the opposite sex wanted.
I feel like everyone in this RP is either unnaturally short or tall, and the only in-between is Ryoki XD this new detective guy is basically proof that everyone in Shine City is a dwarf. Still, I like him a lot :P
Took a bit longer than it should have (I got sidetracked several times), but as promised, an app by the end of the day. One I'm quite proud of at that.
"Eventually there's a point where gaming becomes very advanced mathematics. Luckily, I'm also good at math."
Name: Tomoko Kimura
Age: 19
Height: 5'3" Weight: 115
Tomoko isn't by any means a tall person, nor a strong one. By no means is she overweight, but it's not going to really take more than one look to tell she has no interest in physical exercise. Similarly, other than keeping it cut short and combing it so she isn't walking around with bedhead, she makes no real effort to pretty up her simply brown hair either. Typical Tomoko fashion includes a green waist-length raincoat with frog eyes on the hood (her favorite), jeans, and green rubber boots.
Likes: Winning, video games, math, frogs, wet weather, minty foods, hot drinks, trying new things, being good at whatever she's doing, praise, competition
Party Trick: Human calculator. Tomoko's brain uses the areas associated with speech to perform math. This means math literally comes to her as naturally as speaking; she's fluent in the language of numbers, one could say. She can solve ridiculous equations in about the time it would take anyone else to put it into a calculator, if not faster depending on the length of the equation.
Profession: Student at Shine City Academy, pursuing a programming major. Has also been starting to take to tournaments, considering the possibility of becoming a pro gamer.
Bio/Personality: Tomoko strives for greatness in everything she does, and it shows. When she's doing well she's high on victory, and when faced with defeat she quickly falls into apathy and the single-minded desire to claim her place at the top again. The life in her eyes and the spring in her step correlate with her win/loss ratio, or any winning/losing streaks she may be facing. Sometimes a losing streak can cause Tomoko to just isolate herself from everyone else, not leaving her room for days, weeks, or sometimes even months at a time. As long as she can pull a victory out of her hat though, rest assured she'll bounce back eventually.
This insatiable thirst for greatness stems from a very not-so-great past. Tomoko was and still is an extremely intelligent child, years ahead of other children her age in many subjects. However, at least from her perspective, this amazing brainpower of hers was being squandered and wasted by a nomadic lifestyle and the only school she ever knew being her homeschooling. Sometimes she'd get angry and run away. Other times she'd get depressed and lock herself in her room. When she was 12, eventually Tomoko had just given up. No more anger, no more sadness, no more anything really. On all levels except the physical, she'd accepted that maybe not all stars got to shine, and had completely shut down. For a time, she was certain that the scattered few video games she'd get on occasion were her only release from this wasteful existence.
For a time.
Part of the reason for her family's nomadic lifestyle was her mother having more than a little bit of a gambling problem. Whatever money was made quickly found its way into casinos, then underground gambling dens, and eventually lottery tickets. Well wouldn't you know it, one day Mrs. Kimura's existential losing streak had come to an end. Things started improving, and eventually Tomoko - 17 at the time - was able to finally enroll in a real school. Being able to compare her grades to other students and seeing that she was still doing better than more or less the entire school started to snap her out of her long depression. Finding more and more people to play video games with and ultimately besting all of them sealed the deal.
By graduation, she was back on top in grades, gaming, and in spirit. She moved on to get scholarships to Shine City Academy, certain of the path she wanted to take in life. A year later, we have the Tomoko of today. She can sometimes have random fits of anger or sadness, and she takes terribly to losing, but she can be a very thorough and helpful teacher to those not so good with games. She also likes to try and analyze a pattern in any given thing as often as possible, claiming that the whole world can be broken down into numbers, and that as long as she knows what numbers she's working with, she'll become unstoppable. This star is determined to shine.
As a gamer, uses the tag "Kerokero Kyuukyoku" (ケロケロ 究極, lit. "Ribbit Ribbit Ultimate".
In games, Tomoko's path toward determining a main begins with finding out who is in the highest tier, then finding out who has the highest skillcap among them. Once she's picked a main, however, it almost never changes.
Uuuungh~ I liked the idea of Kaori being a devilish guy too much... Could I make a side character? Her twin brother which she has totally had the entire time hahahahhaha....haha...ha... PLEEEEEEASE @Dynamo Frokane?
not just yet, we still have so much of kaori's character to explore!
I'll go post her up in the Characters tab shortly. With that said, I do have a small handful of other RPs to take care of on other sites real quick. If I can keep a steady workflow without getting sidetracked, I should be able to swing back round to this one before the end of the day and have a post in the works.
I know I wanted to join this earlier and then decided I wasn't going to, but it's christmas break and I have writey-hands and I don't have anything to work on. Can I put together a character?

@Dynamo Frokane Ok, so here am I again. Let's see if this one works.
~Iruka~
Name: Kashima Iruka
Age: 20 (Birthday: October 12)
Appearance:
Height: 157 cm
Weight: 49 kg
Likes: Reading, music, cats, expending time with elderly people, thinking about things and sweets.
Dislikes: Smoking, drinking, loud sounds, disorganization and being touched by people she don't know.
Party Trick: Iruka is very good at mahjong, nearly fluent in English and has a lot of knowledge she caught at college, so she can impress you with her nerdy talents.
Profession: Engineering student, currently unemployed but seeking a part-time job (specially for the weekends).
Bio/Personality: Iruka is, or believes herself to be, a plain individual with no characteristics that would attract someone else's attention. Now, she isn't depressive or anything like this, just a perfectly average Jane that knows that love, money and whatever else, won't fall on her lap by pure luck. And, knowing that, she has set herself to work on her own future with the only thing she can count on, that's her brains and her guts to forge onward. Stumble she may (and, you would too if you had her Calculus teacher), but give up, not.
Iruka was born on northern Japan, to a middle class family, but never could shine when compared to her more talented siblings. Despite that, she never wallowed in self pity simply knowing that she was that and it was good. When she concluded high-school, she managed to snag a scholarship to Shine City Academy and decided to embrace the chance of doing something for herself and by herself. However, how could the naive small town girl know that being an engineer was so... hard?

But he did.
Like his father always told him:
"Son, keep it classy."
And slowly the reality that is 'Kyle likely to get deported from the country" grows.
Gosh, that was the fastest approval I've ever seen. Thank you.
Now, if it's not too much of a bother for me to ask that, but... is there something more that I should know before going IC? 'cause I admit that I haven't read it yet (with 100+ posts it'll take me a lot of time to process it all), but would like to begin as soon as possible even tonight. A quick digest would help me a lot.
