I will be your tour guide to make sure you enjoy your stay, first let me show you to the town centre, its know by its official road name of Shine Junction


Here you will find a lot of the high end boutiques and clothing stores, there is a theatre, a few music venues and of course the shine city arcade! At night this place lights up and this becomes an amazing place to take a date for a drink in one of the penthouse bars on the skyscrapers dotted throughout the centre. Or maybe take your date to one of the 14 restaurants each with a different cultural style for that exotic variety! Everybody who's anybody can be seen in Shine Junction from time to time.But hang around here too much and you may become over-exposed, a little mystery and privacy goes a long way in the dating world ;)

Now for all of you slightly younger go getters out here, or maybe those just trying to add to their skill set later on in life, you will already be familiar with the Shine City Academy



Although most students here are between the ages of 16-22 there is good number of older students here looking to further their career with extra qualifications, this academy boasts a massive campus which holds a lot of dorm rooms, and a huge university sports field as well. Although this is a place of study do not heistate to come here for a spot of after school socialising! I recommend the cafeteria, the food there is excellent, what a surprise!

After all that it would make sense to take it easy for a little while and get some fresh air so why don't you check out the Shiny Park?



You may want to take your puppy for a walk around here, pets are the best conversation starter and you may even get some exercise chasing after Mr/Ms Right! I'll catch you there for ultimate frisbee!
This is also a great place for a picnic, and time to pull out the guitar when nobody is expecting it.






If you want to relax or maybe talk to the cool bartenders and baristas the please check out this awesome cafe bar combo, its frequented by the more artistic crowd in Shine City and is a great place for indpendent musicians to get a start. The lovely Rosanna Reyes works here and the bar has seen a influx of young men attending since she started working here....hmmm I wonder why? :) But if you are feeling hungry please head over to the Tiny Snowflake Restaurant


Feeling that traditional vibe? well the founder of this beautiful eatery in the heart of shine junction can trace his family business all the way back to the Edo period, which is why he has chosen to preserve the oriental aesthetic in the decor. The menu here is very varied though serving anything from Sushi and Wu don to steak and lobster, to cater to all the tastes of the very mixed culture of shine city. Word has it that the beautiful Amaya works here in a very pretty kimono, you'll have to come see for yourself.


Hey so you have a bit of spare cash? why not see if you can double it at shine city's premiere grown up playground? The socilaites from the the wealthy Upscale Heights part of town love to frequent this golden paradise almost any day of the week. Casino Games, Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, Slots, the options to gamble and live life on the edge are available for you here, just remember when its time to stop! But if youre not quite old enough for these games and want a more family friendly playground check out the Lancom Arcade


This is the centre for everything gaming, LAN parties, Trading Card Games, Arcade Tournaments, even a bit of cosplay on certain days! Please come along and spend the day with your friends around colourful lights and library of games for you to enjoy! And remember this is shine city, so a high level tournament player is the type to end up on a lot of dates! so brush up on those skills! Now after all that high energy gaming why not take a stroll through the calming Shine Aquarium exhibition?


The sea creatures of shine county are a marvel to behold, and the 'blue tunnel' in this vast museum/aquarium is almost the stuff of legend, this aquarium was the main driving force of tourism in shine city back when it was only a little town back in the 80s. This is the perfect place to take a date, let the atmosphere and music send you into a dream word...and dont forget to buy a t-shirt!

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 of 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.
