Pretty sure she means tomorrow, on the 4th day...

[Renose]

No, it is technically before 12:00 PM right now. Its about 11 ish.

[Renose]

Cause I am the GM and I won't have continuity problems in my RP :3

[Valeric]

Um. So both Sasha and Ryutarou had dinner and is chatting on the night of the second day? Or should we just edit/retcon the time to 11am on the third day?

[Renose]

No, we are editing the time to 11 am cause that is what the current time is in the RP as of right now XD

[Valeric]

Okay, that makes things simple I guess. The two of us can meet first before bumping into the other three.

[Renose]

That'll work.

Once you five are finally together (which needs to happen soon) things can finally happen.

[Jester Acharis]

Okay, phew, got my CS done. Is it too late to throw it in? The IC's got a bunch of posts already, it seems, so I understand if I took too long and you've already got enough players and all.

[Renose]

Throw it in

[Jester Acharis]

Aye, aye! Pardon if it doesn't make sense or seems a little out-there; she's an old comedic-relief character from ab rp with a rather whacky premise (and everyone having to have criminal-ish pasts). I can tone it down if needed, no problem.

I added a few explanations to her Stats and Talents in the Personality section and stuff. Felt they were needed, considering she isn't a good fighter in general, but has high stats there.

Name: Zahira Seifert

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance: (I'll draw a picture of her later) Zahira stands at a rather average height of 5'3'', give or take a few inches due to the heels she usually wears. She's slim but slightly curvy, definitely filling the role of what people conventionally consider "pretty" - and she somewhat flaunts that fact, although she doesn't mean for it to come off as smug as it sometimes does. She has semi-long, jet black hair that can be basically found in a different hairdo every day. Her eyes are a somewhat messy green color. She likes to wear pink things, often preferring to go with a pink tanktop, a denim mini-skirt, thigh-high boots and a simple bow tied somewhere in her hair. She also rather likes detachable sleeves.

Personality: Cheerful and bubbly most of the time, Zahira seems to be constantly off in her daydreams. She has a weird way of thinking that only she can most likely understand, and this makes her come off as strange and even stupid to most people she meets. And while yes, she is decidedly pretty naive and not the sharpest tool in any given shed, she isn't a complete idiot either - she's just... positive. A bit of an airhead and a definite klutz, she's bound to be noticed wherever she goes, but probably for the wrong reasons. She also has a bad habit of thinking aloud - a fact that's led her to embarrassment more times than one, especially since she's quite the man-chaser. Not in her actions, no, she's definitely too shy for that, but definitely in her mind; she has the tendency to fantasize about princes and knights, often developing crushes on a second's notice towards most attractive males she meets, and immediately assuming they share her sentiments (psst, they never do). She likes to write a diary, and writes down scored for herself everyday; she believes that whenever she does something right, she cares one point of karma and, if she just keeps doing it a lot, one time she will be rewarded with a love of her life.

One important thing that needs to be mentioned is that Zahira is superficial and just a bit judgmental when it comes to others' appearances. As mentioned, she likes good-looking people (especially men), and due to the teachings she went through as a kid, she firmly believes that attractive people are good people, and "ugly" people are mean people out to get you. Due to this, she tends to get nervous and try to avoid the unpopular and bullied people to an extent, afraid that they will hurt her or something. She fears the same when it comes to "nerds", thinking that they're all scary perverts out to get her - because that's what her parents taught her. Still, even she has started to slowly realize that her way of thinking might be wrong... she just needs proof. She also will try and cheer up people if she sees them being sad to the best of her ability. Whether her strange ways help or make things worse, though, is basically up in the air.

Zahira isn't the bravest person out there. She can talk the talk (if a bit awkwardly), but she definitely can't walk the walk. She is especially scared of anything medical or doctor related, due to the incident with her father in the past. She also suffers from a small kleptomaniac streak due to having gotten so used to doing that when a kid (when she didn't even know it was wrong) that it developed into a habit. She does this without noticing and with surprising skill, but tries to stop herself whenever she can. Also, speaking of doing things subconsciously, Zahira is very agile and acrobatic when running after a crush she needs to take a picture of (has happened to her) or saving cats from certain deaths and such, but in every day life when she actually tries to be agile, she's one of the biggest klutzes around. She seems to only be able to do such feats when she doesn't notice it, and will get scared if she snaps out of her habits in mid-action and finds herself up on a roof or a tree. Also, while she doesn't have much fighting skill in normal situations (if you don't count flailing one's arms around), she can do surprisingly well when in panic-mode. That is to say, scare her enough and she becomes fairly good at throwing stuff at people, destroying ears with very, very high-pitched screams as well as delivering scarily accurate crotch-kicks when threatened (this has happened a few times as well). This is basically the reason to her fairly high Str stat.

History: Zahira was born to a relatively normal household in a small Spanish speaking community, located in the southern parts of the Switzerland. Her parents earned well and were never particularly neglecting or abusive towards her - however, her childhood was greatly affected by a certain obsession of her father's, one he neither could nor wanted to rid himself off of; obsession over female beauty. He had his own story and reasons, but that did not change the fact that it was an obsession the whole family suffered from. The father was a plastic surgeon, and the family's mother had been under his knife many a time before, albeit willingly, to satisfy her husband, and from a very young age young Zahira was taught that appearances meant most everything, and that one's worth was heavily influenced by their face and choice of clothing. Everything beautiful was good, and everything ugly wrong, so heaven forbid if she made friends with someone who wasn't outwardly acceptable to her parents, or came home muddy after playing outside. This left her often either alone or in the company of her cousins, who were not the best influence to the very naive Zahira. Spoiled and pampered by their parents and never denied anything, they were troublemakers at heart, and their plays and games often teetered on illegal territory; they shoplifted, bullied, and set foot on forbidden properties just to see if they could get away with. And, Zahira, not knowing better, often followed after them. She was particularly good at climbing and the like due to her gymnastics classes and flexibility, and as her cousins noticed this, they started to drag her with them even more to help them in their pranks and small-time thievery.

However, that was not her biggest problem growing up. See, Zahira was always a pretty kid, but she was still normal. She didn't particularly stand out among other girls her age as the pretties of them all, nor did she always win the beauty contests she was forced to take part in, despite usually doing well in them. And, as she grew and got closer and closer to reaching teenage, her father started to slowly grow impatient. Why wasn't her daughter turning heads of everyone around her? Where were her curves, her feminine charm? Why was she not like her mother? He contemplated those questions, and eventually found the only solution to his problems to be the thing he was the best at; plastic surgery. His obsession had gone too far. Fortunately, Zahira's mother found out about the father's intentions before they came into fruition, and that launched the whole family into a rather big pot of drama and arguing. In the end, Zahira was sent to live with her grandparents; a silly old couple, but both were good people and spoiled her quite the bit, thinking of her as their little princess.

Still, as soon as she was able, Zahira moved out of town to live on her own, out of a spur-of-the-moment "I need to be independent!" decision. Needless to say, her first years on her own were rather... problematic, considering she wasn't the most independent or clever person out there. And that... led her back to her now-also-adult cousins, until she got arrested for it. She didn't get jail, but she did get a mighty fee to pay - and, being stubborn and afraid of what people would say should they found out, she endeavored to pay it off on her own. Her parents already paid her university - she couldn't trouble them. So, she went through a thousand different part-time jobs, not lasting more than a day in most of them, until she recently landed herself one. As of few days ago, she's working as a delivery guy (or a girl, rather) for a pizza company, and everything seems to go well.

For now.

[Renose]

Oh crap. Your chara has a panic mode?

Too bad the Gamer's Mind makes you immune to psychological status affects XD. Fear being included (like at one point in the Manwha, in the more recent chapter actually, when the MC is scared out of his wits he finds himself instantly calming down thanks to the Gamer's Mind).

Still though, awesome CS. Accepted.

I am guessing your character left Switzerland though and then came to Japerica?

Cause that is the name of the country this RP takes place in.

[Renose]

Ill do your CS stuff later though, I got HW to do right now for college.

[Jester Acharis]

Heh, the panic mode isn't any actual mode, just her being in a "oh crappiees, oh crappies, mean people wahhhh must do something let's throw things" state for a moment. She won't get any boosts or anything from it. But yeah, didn't think about the Gamer's Mind affect that too. I guess her panics are veeeery short lived then |D

And yeah, she moved to Japerica when she moved to live with her grandparents. I didn't realize I forgot to mention that, sorry!

Take your time, college work first.

[Renose]

Yea, well I know that she wouldn't get stat boosts from it, just saying though the moment she begins to panic she would be calmed in a few moments thanks to Gamer's Mind.

[Jester Acharis]

Yeah, it's just a personality trait, but it'll be interesting to see Gamer's Mind affects it regardless. Or, rather, it'll be interesting writing her reactions when calming down.

[Renose]

Yea.

It'll be like "Oh shit, oh sh--"

And then calmness.

[Jester Acharis]

Ha, exactly.

"Ahh, there's a bug, a bug, it's creepy, it's ugly, it's-"

...

"It's kinda cute, actually."

[Renose]

Well, not that much. XD

Its just immense fear or panic that would be worthy enough to be a status affect.

Seeing a bug isn't going to be like that unless it would send you into a state of panic or detrimental fear.
