[TimasheTiger]

Holy crap Ursa... that was literally one of the most depressing things I have ever read and it was awesome. Character completely accepted, 1000 times over.

So far we have a count of 8 players, with an even split between male and female characters, exactly what I was looking for. I'll post up an OOC after I finish rewriting my character and place everyone's CS on the first post by grade.

There are still plenty of spots open, I'm debating whether or not to make it 12 or 14 max, so for those of us who are on the interest check who have not made a CS yet, still have time and it leaves room for any other interested players to attend.

[Major Ursa]

That character is more or less the same one I ran with in my first Katawa Shoujo RP back in the old guild...

[UnendingEmpire]

I just now realized Ursa is among us.
Your unicorn has sunglasses. That's actually pretty cool.

[Major Ursa]

It's a certain somebody else's unicorn...I've always admired it, and decided it needed to wear sunglasses to best show how awesome it was.

Did Somebody say a Manly Picnic?

In all serious though, I would love to try and give this the old gentleman's try.

appearance

Name: Nobuyuki Ueda
Age: 17
Grade (1st/2nd/3rd year): 3rd Year
Disability: Friedreich's ataxia: In short a degenerative disease that slowly destroys the nervous system, to the point of eventual death.
Personality:
The 3rd year with a cane mostly seen around the Art Department, is characterized more less by the constant smile that he wears upon his face. An odd feature for one destined to meet death, the ever looking forward optimist. He has a personalty to match his persistent smile, gregarious, and decidedly alive at least in personality even if his body deteriorates a little bit more every day. This comes mostly from a promise he made to somebody, a promise that even though the world is a pointlessly cruel place without meaning to it, that even though everything they did was pointless and that in the end they would return to the dust that they once came from. To be put simply by words spoken ironically enough by everyone's favorite God is dead, pessimist Nietzsche. "If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed." For in his eyes even though in the end it is all futile and the world is a dark scary place, while he still stood he might as well do his best to make sure everyone gets that feel good fuzzy feeling

Background:
As Nobuyuki-san himself puts it, in life well some people just get more sand in the hourglass then others. He was one of those people that did not have a lot of sand to start with, and the sand he had left was slipping through his fingers to be washed away by the unforgiving seas of time. Diagnosed with Friedreich's ataxia at a relatively young age, he knew that he was living more or less on borrowed time. When living thirty years, is the generous best case scenario before your body degrades to the point of death, you are able to put somethings in perspective. That being said, his early years were normal enough. Not able to compete in most school sports and activities beside very minimal low strain stuff and his Tai Chi regime instructed to him by his doctor, to help at least build up what he had stronger so that it took more to break him down. Instead he turned his attention to art classes and drawing, which required less physical strain on his body and allowed him to at least do something while the other kids played outside. His drawing and artistic ability grew and leading up to high school, he was always seen in whatever school he was attending's art department, where he was even able to make friends and have the semblance of a normal life.

Though it was not always sunshine and rainbows as when he was thirteen and to try and to slow down the Scoliosis of his spine, they surgically implanted titanium screws and rods into his back and spinal cord to help keep him afloat and he almost died during the surgery its self. His father and mother worked at their family Inn in the small town he grew up, that has been passed down through his father's line for generations. Though they never talked about it around him Nobuyuki Ueda knew that his medical expenses were accumulating to the point that exceeded the salary of a pair of Inn Keeper's in a resort town. And that is why he was so surprised when he learned that his parents had somehow scavenged up enough money for him to be sent to Yamaku academy, for even with the help of money earned for scholarships do to Ueda's academics, it was still a lot of money for the Nobuyuki family as comfortably middle class as they may be. But Ueda's parents wanted to at least give him a chance to go to place where he would not be the odd kid out, a place where he was seemingly normal. And so at the start of his first year he went to Yamaku academy.

He made an impression upon his class, when he was told to introduce himself to his peers he stood up in front of the class and told them all very simply. "My name is Nobuyuki Ueda and I'm going to die before the age of forty." For you see Ueda had just come from another series of surgeries and medical trails of new drugs, designed to be the "God Drug" the medical community was looking for. Of course none of them worked in the end, at the best they added another week to his life expectancy chart. So he was tired and disheveled and not content at all to leave behind the normalcy he had established at his old school. For you see Ueda had not yet met a very important person in his life, the person that made he swear the aforementioned promise above. Ueda was much more like the pessimistic downer that you would expect from someone that was slowly dying, lashing out against people and refusing to even remotely talking to most. But then a girl came along and changed everything during the middle of his first year, a girl that you could not get Ueda to talk about as if it was opening night at a Broadway theater and her name was Macbeth. And it was only then that he became the much more optimistic individual he is currently.

And now in his third year, he is seen as a relatively well liked individual around the academy. Though his art style his shifted as his body now lacks the fine motor control requred to draw relatively straight he has instead moved onto to Pollock inspired Action Paintings Well renown to the rest of the student body for being a person that you go to when you need the sage like wisdom of a Tibetan Buddhist Monk that instead of listening to throat singing listened to The Pixies. And yet some might notice something with Ueda and that is everyone considers him an associate, somebody they wouldn't mind watching their back in a fight. But since he came in the past three years, know one could really feel comfortable calling him their friend. For to be a friend one requires the general knowledge of each other on both sides and most know nothing of the boy. Accept that he seemingly exists in an odd mixture of a world between ours and somewhere else.

Other Info:
- As mentioned due to the breakdown of the neural tissue in his spine, he has started carrying a cane with him since the beginning of his second year to help him traverse about
- Is really into Alt Rock for some reason
- He usual haunts are the school's roof and the art department its self, though he is seen elsewhere as well, and even about town on the rare occasion.

Hexaflexagon, you are accepted, for the rest of you waiting so patiently here is the OOC, my character sheet will be up there.

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT OOC

Just so I have my CS somewhere

Kyle Parker

Name: Kyle Parker
Age: 17
Grade: 2nd Year
Disability: Amputated right arm (experiences frequent phantom pain), depression (mostly causes irritability and anger).
Personality: Extremely kind and incredibly determined, he is not the person people expect him to be considering his background. He’s the kind of guy who will be your friend until you show him otherwise, and those who don’t, he remains loyal to for life. Despite his kind demeanor, he is also incredibly brash, lacking any real common sense, only doing what he feels is natural, even if its sometimes for the worse. His temper can flare up in a moments notice, only to falter just as quickly, if he snaps at someone he immediately regrets it and asks for forgiveness.
Background: Kyle was born on a cold winters night in the city of Los Angelos, Nevada. An only child, Kyle was raised by a father with a very specific goal in mind, for him to be the best damned fighter who ever lived. His future to become THE Ultimate Fighting Champion was set in stone from his very birth, and training soon followed it. What couldn't be done through physical training from the get go was learned by watching every scrap and brawl ever done in television history, and nurtured into him by his father's rearing. When Kyle was finally old enough to physically train he was put on a strict diet, trained day and night, excercised, cardio, weight training, fighting techniques. The only time Kyle's life didn't revolve around the UFC was through his studies. His father hired multiple tutors to teach him different subjects throughout the week, things he would need to know when he lived his life to the fullest.
As Kyle grew older, so did his determination. The lifelong goal his father had for Kyle, became his own as well, and he owned it well. Fight after fight, victory after victory, it brough Kyle closer to his own personal Nirvana, that no matter what opponent stood before him, he would not back down, he would not lose. This determination earned him the title of "The Burning Cinder", the fire that would just never die down, no matter how many punches he took, Kyle would just punch back harder. It wasn't until the eve of his 17th birthday that the fire did finally die. On an even colder winter night, during a match, the roof to the stadium came crashing down. A blizzard formed a massive amount of snow on the roof, it weighed too heavy and the roof could simply not support it, 27 people died, another 300 plus were injured, one of them being Kyle. When they found him, his arm had been torn to shreds by a metal beam and frostbite had begun setting into the wound, the arm had to be amputated from the shoulder down. It wasn't until several weeks after arriving at the hospital that Kyle woke up and learned the news; he could never fight again.
The news was earth shattering, a life that had revolved entirely around fighting was wasted and a new sense of despair fell upon Kyle. To him, his arm was like a piece of his soul, something that had been lost, something that could never be retrieved. Worse yet was the disappointment that had set into his own father, the perfect fighter could not fight, he had no son. Despite all the atrocities that befell him, Kyle simply refused to lay down and die and the cinder began to burn once more. There was another part of his life that wasn't deemed as important as fighting, but since fighting was no longer an option, Kyle would have to resort to education. During his recovery time Kyle worked with the doctors in hopes of finding a school that would help him live a normal life, that school was Yamaku Academy.
Other info: Though the picture above shows Kyle's general appearance, he is missing his right arm and the sleeve to it will be tied up to the shoulder. Kyle's training routine is also deeply engraved into his mind, so you'll find him almost every morning outside doing some form of physical activity. Also as a side note, because Kyle is a foreigner who's preferred language is English he'll be speaking in both English and Japanese. To distinguish the two Japanese will be written as normal text and English will be written as bold text

Good idea, mind if I copy this since my character is technically also a foreigner?

[TimasheTiger]

Dude your character is from Ottawa, Canada, there is no technically. And yea unless I'm thinking of the wrong side of Canada, I'm pretty sure your character's preferred language is English and you can do so.

[Major Ursa]

Lol, I'm actually from Canada, in RL.
Yes, the animals do sing, and everyone has a cellar of maple syrup.

Hey, hey, HEY! Canada has many anime weeaboo's who are more Japanesse than Canadian at heart! :P

And I say that as a Canadian, and yes Ottawa is majority English. However it's one of the area's where there may also be a decent french population (but the character is English mind you. Like me he doesn't speak a bit of French),
