I'd like to reserve a spot for this. I plan to have my CS up shortly. C:

Fair enough I believe I can do that. I'll be putting up a profile in a bit. I'm immensely interested in how combat's going to work and the antagonist. If Persons will exist or whatever, even more so how they're summoned. Not hating this setting either, I'm looking forward to this. Oh one question though, when it says combat style do you mean how they fight regularly, for example if someone walked up to him and punched them in the face how would they retaliate. A strange example but what I mean is how they personally fight, I may be over thinking it and if so that's alright. I can still make my character sheet but I'm going off that it's personal, if it's not I'll have to change that part.

Glad to hear you're still interested.
To answer your question; the combat style basically means how they fight humans and ____'s (not revealing the name yet) alike, as there's bound to be some simularities. In an example of Persona; you could say that Junpei's style involves slow but powerful hits and Yukari's involves staying at a distance and fighting with the bow. It's somewhat hard to explain, so I'll leave it up to you to decide what's best for your character.

Reserving a place!

Alright I understand. I've almost finished. I'll have it up soon.

I would like to reserve a spot C:

I hope this okay.

Name: Mizuko Usagi

Age: 17

Gender/Sex: Female for both

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 123ibs

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Foam Green

Blood Type: O Type

In Depth Physical Description:

Personality:

Mizuko is a hyper and happy-go-lucky girl, who always sees the best in people. She is friendly, relaxed and cheerful, many would say she a good person to confide in, but she is forgetful and overly blunt at times. She is rash and charge into things head first without a plan, she might seem as a hyperactive idiot, but she smarter than she acts, she understands people keenly, and she has eye for fine details, and when she remembers something she can remember every little things about people.

But be warned, she is very scary when angered, she is willing to use violence. And it's hard to calm her back down after being violent.

She also terrible at house work and is not the smartest when it comes to school work, but she good at many other things, she in really good shape, being a good swimmer. But she has bad eyesight without her glasses and she tends to need new one every often due to her recklessness and love of sports.

Origins: Japanese-European

History/Bio: Mizuko was born though an arrange marriage, her European father owns a fishing company, while her mother owns a restaurant chain.

The planned wedding was made by her grandfather on her dad side and her grand mother on her mom side. They wanted the reunion to happen so both companies can benefit each other, it happens that both Mizuko's parents were adamant about getting forced into marriage, but agreed since otherwise they wouldn't get to own it due to multiple older siblings.

During the early parts of the marriage they hated each other guts but they learn to endure each other since both were busy with the new joint companies. But soon enough they spend time with each other and grew to like the other.

After seven-year of marriage they finally had an heir to the joint company, Mizuko. Her name was Japanese because they thought a Japanese name would roll better to the Japanese public.

Even from a young age she had a love for water and gardening she would go to the pool and swim for hours and she would have her own little garden. She was often taken care of by maids and baby sitters, but her parents did spend time with her as much as possible. Her mother was around less than her father, Mizuko is a real daddies girl, becoming sad when he has to leave for work, she loved her mother but the two often get into arguments about her having to learn stuff she didn't care about. She only really care to learn her parents tongue and some practical skills but she didn't want to own a business, she wants to be a Doctor or veterinarian.

It got so bad that Mizuko's father had to intervene and calm both of them down, the two finally agreed that if they can't find a proper heir when she reaches her eighteen birthday she will own the family business.

The reason Mizuko is afraid of owning both businesses is when she reaches eighteen is that she will have to fly back and forth between The States and Japan, and she hates flying on plains. And while the businesses are big, they aren't huge and she knows full well that she won't have any official powers over them until her parents retire or die, but she still scared of the fact that she might be forced into this life.

But until then she will go a normal high school year at Shirasagi High, she is very worried about her next birthday. But will not dwell on it.



Combat Style: Brutally strong and slow. She uses either an axe or chainsaw or even a trident if she finds one.

Extra Information: She loves the colours Pink and Blue. She can speak Japanese and English and is currently learning Chinese and Russian. Her father company is much bigger in America than japan the reverse is true for her mother food chain.

(I think I kept it within reason, let me know if it needs to be changed in anyway)

Name: Zen Ian Yasashiku (Nickname is Kuso due to his personality)

Age: 17

Gender/Sex: Male/Male (Including both for political-correctness)

Height: 208

Weight: 68kg

Hair Color: Blonde

Eye Color: Amber

Blood Type: A-

In Depth Physical Description:

Personality: Zen is a person who believes he needs to be self-sufficient and shouldn’t rely on others more than he needs to. He’s normally irritated about one thing or another and believes actions speak louder than words. Zen is normally silent but unfortunately it’s not out of shyness or a desire for solitude; when Zen speaks openly his words are normally harsh and generally hurtful. He lobs insults like their normal greetings and isn’t ashamed to be rude to end a conversation and can sound generally selfish. Thankfully his heart is as big as his mouth and contrary to his irritated outside he has a soft heart and would carry a stranger across fire and brimstone if need be, though he would complain the entire time. He can’t stand this side of himself and seeks to make himself more heartless, due to his conscience however he’s unable to do so and finds it difficult to ignore someone in need. He’s more focused on his own affairs than that of others so war’s and the such are ‘a waste of time’ to him.

Origins: Japanese-American (Geographically speaking)

History/Bio: Zen grew up in Kyushu born to a Japanese father and American mother, he learned more about American culture due to the influence in the area from a young age thus English became his first language, even his middle name came from his mother’s father. His father however wanted to instill his culture into him so he taught him Japanese and showed him what he was able to. Due to unfortunate circumstances Zen’s father left his mother when he was young and his mother put more focus into her own career as he went into middle school. Zen grew distant with his mother during this time and thanks to a mix of suppressed emotions and confusion Zen became easily irritated and got into fights and generally made more enemies than friends in the neighborhood and school. His mother did what she could to intervene but their relationship only seem to sour as time went by, Zen often came home to an empty home and spent a majority of his time alone, it got to a point where he would look at his mother and saw only a stranger. Eventually he was sent to live with his aunt by his mother in Shikoku who he became close to through their time together. After transferring schools he tried to be more behaved both in and out of school to avoid trouble with his aunt but old habits died hard for him and not being fluent in Japanese made it harder as half the time he couldn’t communicate properly. He doesn’t speak of his time from middle to high school as he has more demons than he cares to admit during it. His aunt helped him adjust to Shikoku and finished teaching where his father stopped. At his aunt’s mention he attended Shirasagi high.

Combat Style: Zen has a mix of medium and heavy attacks; his movement is slow due to the force he puts behind his attacks however. He’s a dirty fighter more than willing to throw sand in someone’s eyes, smack them with the nearest object he can find, kick them while their down etc. endurance is the only thing he really has going for him as he prefers getting up close and personal. He’s willing to take a small hit if he can get a big hit in, he focuses on crippling his enemy or at least making them stagger, the moment he gains the upper hand he puts his full force into his attacks inflicting as much damage as possible in the small window he has. The only weapon that interests him is a scythe due to it’s peculiar shape and use but since obtaining one is pretty much impossible a lead pipe get’s the job done just as well.

Extra Information: Zen has an unnatural obsession with cats, especially kittens; he can’t stand other animals in any form however. He’s a smoker but being a student he keeps such things to himself except when he has to obtain more. His favorite color is Orchid, he’s speaks fluent English and is experienced in Japanese, however as he doesn’t care much for the language he tends to be lazy with it so it’s not surprising for him not to follow all the rules of it. (he might not call a sempai by their title for example). He has a soft spot for kids and enjoys fishing.

Both are accepted, I will add you two to the OP in a second. Starting work on my own character as we speak!

Name:

Age: 16

Gender/Sex: Female

Height: 164 cm

Weight: 59 kg

Hair Color: Silverish

Eye Color: Blue-silver

Blood Type: AB-

In Depth Physical Description:


Personality: Violetta is a quiet, thoughtful girl, who puts much consideration into what she says and does. Some of this comes from her slight difficulty with the Japanese language and it probably does in fact come from that, as when she first came to Japan she had absolutely no knowledge of the language, leaving her to keep to herself and really only converse with her parents and the rare Russian-speaker. Thankfully though, by the time she had moved to New Harumi City, she had reached fluency in Japanese but the period still marks her personality.

It is hard for those around her to discern what she is thinking or her current emotions as she makes a decent effort of keeping herself unreadable and her usually flat and accentuated tone helps in this regard.

Violetta is an excellent student, utterly destroying her fellow students in all but one subject; English in which she has incredible difficulty for whatever reason. While she easily comprehends the language, speaking and writing in it creates great difficulties for her as she forgets articles and comes up with phrases that have little if any order...

Origins: Russian (has Japanese citizenship)

History/Bio: Our story begins in 1991, when Chief Warrant Officer Valery Verniy of the Russian Navy returned to his home of Vladivostok after a long deployment in Japan. When his fleet was forced out of the harbor by zealous Japanese nationalists in 1990, he and the others of the fleet were returned to Vladivostok after a brief deployment to keep order in the waters surrounding Japan following the founding of the Independent Japanese Federation. At this time, Valery, who had served in the Navy for the last ten years, decided to retire and he fell in love with a concert pianist named Rozaliya. The two married in 1995 to a fair amount of celebration and it was three years later in 1998 that they had their first and their last daughter; a girl with silvery hair and argentine eyes who they decided to name Violetta.

The family lived happily in the port city for eleven years, until tragedy befell the family when Violetta’s mother was murdered following a concert. Violetta, herself a piano prodigy at eleven years old, easily playing the works of Chopin, Herz and Beethoven, became somewhat adverse to continuing to play piano, but would later pick up playing again when she was fifteen. In the same year, her father, searching to escape Vladivostok and leave the memory of his beloved’s murder behind, decided to move back to Japan. The pair then spent the next few years hopping through jobs and habitations before settling in New Harumi City in 2014. Violetta, now fifteen, would now go to Shirasagi High...

Combat Style: Thanks to numerous visits to shooting ranges with her father before moving to Japan, Violetta has competent experience with using a pistol and will use one when available. If not, she has decent ability with longswords, rapiers and other bladed weapons. No matter the weapon, she prefers to stay at close range and use finesse and elegant attacks to lethally take down enemies and to rely on dodging instead of blocking attacks.

Extra Information:
-Violetta’s hobbies include piano, writing poetry and taking walks. She also studies quite often, but she doesn’t consider that a hobby.
-Being Russian, she fluently speaks the language and she also speaks Japanese with no problems, though she is rather quiet by nature. In both languages, she speaks with a polite, respectful tone and uses rather formal vocabulary.

Name: Dominick Yang (Or "Dominick Asahi" when he's using his father's surname in western orientation), Bandages (Cause he usually has those over his eyes), "Peerless Mastermind of Oblivious" (In game title in fighting games)

Age: 18

Gender/Sex: Male

Height: 172.72 CM

Weight: 70 kg (Average)

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Solid Black (Due to Hyphema)

Blood Type: B+

In Depth Physical Description:

Bandages or some sort of blindfold is nearly always present over his eyes, due to his blindness. He finds glasses tedious to deal with.

Personality: If there's much anything to say about Dominick, it's that he's certainly an odd person. Not in a bad way, just quirky. Aside from his bandages, you may even think he's just your average joe. Dominick himself is a affable person and very tolerate and patient, almost to a fault. He's not a very pushy person, and though he'll always stand his ground, don't expect him to really throw his weight around. He's still fairly curious however, and always thinks about every situation he can detect around him. He may be blind, but that only makes him want to get as deep into whatever business that interest him, given that he can't exactly make judgement at face-value. He's also what you might call "genre savvy" given that his former pastime was a lot of reading, and since he can't exactly do that anymore he tends to imagine that his life is playing out like some sort of game or anime. He may even draw up stat charts for everyone. He tends to bottle up his anger, trying to put away somewhere dark where it'll be forgotten and never disturbed. But something about him makes it quite clear that his tolerance and kindness is merely something he chooses to do, not something that is deeply ingrained into his character.

Origins: American, who is living in Japan, but ethically Hmong

History/Bio: Dominick was born in California of the United States of America. His parents were immigrants, making life a bit difficult for them at first. Dominick had to deal with the usual issues of being a first generation child would, such as being forced to chose between two cultures, the one of his family or the one of the place he lived. He tried to maintain a balance, but more often than not he identifies himself as an American. he never learned the language of his parents, instead spending much of his youth with friends and extended family as they adapted to their new home.

Dominick's youth was spent doing usual kids things. He himself took up many interests, the main three being story-telling, martial arts, and cooking. At a young age he was one of the best readers in his school, able to go through books with hundreds of pages in a day. When he was ten years old his parents signed him up in martial arts classes, which he grew very attached to. And of course, when the days winded down, he wanted to do nothing more than eat. His parents were good cooks, but he wanted more, something more pleasing to his palate. Those three things were the main things he worried about in his adolescence, with the future and the things it brought being naught but a distance memory. But over time, he began to wonder what he would do with himself. What he was, and how it would help him. But he had confidence that his abilities would help him make something of his life. But that was before the accidents.

When Dominick was fifteen years old, he and his parents got into a car accident. His father was killed on impact, trying to steer the car away from the collision. Dominick was sitting at the front, but despite his father's efforts he wasn't spared. Large shards of glasses cut into Donny's eyes before he could even blink, causing massive hemorrhaging though his iris and sclera. His mother was mostly unharmed, but the shock continued to pain her to this day. Dominick's life was saved, but his eyes sight was forever lost. The doctors managed to restore his eyes so that they would be able to heal, but his sight would never return. He struggled to do many of the things he enjoyed, and felt that he lost much of what made Dominick himself. He tried to keep a happy outlook on life, but it was difficult to see anything good about life when everything was nothing but darkness.

During the years his mother remarried to a fairly rich Japanese man. He was a business man who helped run some sort of beer company back on the mainland, who just recently inherited some restate from his own father who, in a twist of fate that made Dominick question the world, died in a car accident. By this time Dominick has gotten fairly used to his own predicament but still had difficulties finding something to do with himself. He actually agreed to come with his mother to Japan in the hopes that somehow, he could find a place there.

Combat Style: Statistically speaking, Dominick has high defense and agility points, though his accuracy and strength are fairly lacking. He makes up for it by being able to weather through many types of damage, or outright dodge them, combating his enemies through a battle of attrition. And though blind, he hasn't lost any of his martial skills. When on the offensive he can either unleash fast and furious attacks or wait until the enemy strikes and counters for massive damage. The former is erratic in it's damage output however due to it's low accuracy and the fact that each strike is fast but doesn't have much weight behind them, while the latter requires his enemy to actually to get the first strike in and hoping that he could either survive or avoid the attack. Dominick himself is skilled with rods and staffs as weapons, though his training also involved body weights, meaning that he's also a dangerous fighter using just full armor. And of course, should things get really desperate, he can always rely on his hand-to-hand training.

Extra Information: Dominick speaks English fluently, though his Japanese is somewhat decent. He speaks very politely when in Japanese, but he's much more coarse and honest in English under the assumption that no one would understand him. Dominick also carries two of his retractable walking sticks (One for regular use and the other in case he loses the first one) just about everywhere he goes out of necessity, though it also is handy as emergency weapons thanks to it's length and sturdiness. Additionally, Dominick has new hobbies in the form of listening to music and audiobooks. He still does some Martial Art's training at a public dojo and can still cook despite all that's happened. His mother has a day job working at a bakery, which he helps out when he can/has to. Lastly, though he makes sure not to let anyone know this, he's a regular drinker even though he's underage. His step-father introduced it to him and always hammered in that he must drink responsibly, so he only has a few cans when he's certain that he's going to be home afterwards. Dominick has grown fond of drinking various beers his father provides him, almost to the point that it's an addiction.

A bit late for me to say this, but you're accepted. With this, I think I have enough characters so I'll get a start on working on the OOC. Any news from Demous and Wileycoyote?

spending today making a couple characters. one for this rp and one for another

Glad to hear it, excited to see your character. ;)
Do excuse me if I'm taking a bit long. When I start up the IC, I'm going to try to take into account all the characters and so forth for the upcoming events, so it helps to know exactly what characters and how many of them I'll have.

Cool, but I do have a question. How do we implement the multiple language thing? <This for Japanese> and "this for English"?

It'll probably go something like this;

" Chert!" Violetta uttered in her mother language.

Or,

"'sup?" He asked in English.

...basically using more literary ways of doing things. I doubt characters will be jumping through multiple languages in a conversation, so I think more traditional methods will work fine.

Hmm. Not very fluent in Japanese, though I'll do my best.
