Rena Atkin

Name: Rena Atkin
Age: 26

---

Appearance

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 128 Lbs

---

Likes: Sleep, silence, action movies, strategy games, tabletop RPGs, rain, snow, overcast weather, economics, black liquorish, light alcohol, weekends, violins (doesn't play), and most music.

Dislikes: Coffee, loud people, mindless work, reality TV, larger animals, being totally drunk, sometimes her job, sour food, and indecisiveness.

Party Trick: Uh... is sorta good at whistling, kinda.

Profession: Finance Analyst, or more appropriately the "Office Fetch-girl" or "Office Coffee Slave" depending on the day.

---

Personality: From an outsider's perspective Rena definitely comes across as an irritable and impatient person, admittedly that is actually very well true, to be fair it is also a product of her job, but more on that later. If caught in a bad mood Rena is quick to snap back, and otherwise remain fairly unpleasant even going as far to ignore people, although this attitude of hers is balanced by a sense of professionalism, and more strongly a simple desire to not get fired. On the flip side when in a relaxed state, a mood which is almost exclusively reserved for home life, or honestly just not being at work, she is actually a calm individual, even friendly. Rena truly enjoys an intellectual challenge, or at the very least an opportunity to use her mind once in a while. She also has a particular interest in economics, which eventually drove her career choices... just that it didn't exactly work how she wanted.

Bio: Rena's early life was normal for the most part, extremely normal actually. Home life was good, both parents were together, and still are to the present day. In school she always did well, she being very so slightly faster at grasping concepts than other kids, while she wasn't a star student for sure, she did realize a general love of learning at an early age. Rena's teenage years came and went, she wasn't much of the rebellious teen, talked back to her parents some of the time, and very rarely occasionally skipped classes was about it. There was one certain incident which involved beer, spring break, and a party. Suffice to say Rena figured out where to draw the line when it comes to drinking. Of course Rena ended up going to college, she certainly had the mind to get things done. After switching around majors for a little bit she fortunately settled on a degree in business, with a minor in finance.

When entering into the adult's working world, Rena quickly found out how rough job searching really was. It took quite a while, and some bleeding from her savings, but eventually she managed to find a opening position as a Junior Finance Analyst. The company she found was some sort of small time firm, no fame attached or anything, hell she hadn't even heard of the company until then. In hindsight maybe that should've been the first red flag. Almost right away she realized what work was like, useless coworkers, insane deadlines, constant yelling, you know the general things that make up crap management. Rena tried to deal with the poor work environment for about a year until essentially she gave into straight up hopelessness. Career prospects didn't look good anywhere else, and she knew she was about stuck with her job, being homeless would be much worse... so in the end she decided to simply deal with it. All things considered, however, life wasn't bad, she had a decent sized apartment, decent pay despite the odds, and she didn't have to worry about simple survival. Just her greatest regret at the time was seriously not having fulfilling work life.

Party Trick: Theo is very good at impersonating people's voices be it a boy or girl. Even if his only just meet the person whose voice he's trying to impersonate.

Profession: Theo works full-time at The Enchanted Florist as cashier and general helping hand. Doing whatever is asked of him be it sweeping the floor to promoting the store in some shameless costume. Part of his work is training to becoming a botanist, so once a week attends classes for a day at shine academy.

Bio: Form a young age Theo as had a strong love of nature and as child spent much time as he could at the Enchanted Florist enjoying the large verity of plants they had often talking to the shopkeeper. Until his mother dragged him out. If Theo ever disappeared it was pretty easy to know where he went. As he grew older Theo developed other interest, but plants always remained his passion even if, during his high school years it got Theo picked on a little. However even if he got picked on for it Theo never showed it bothered him, but slowly as time progressed Theo moved away from his passion. By the time he was in his final year had nothing to do with plants only buying them when he was trying to woo a girl or was buying them for his mother on mothers day.

When Theo finished high school he was unsure what to do with himself, so spent the next few years working as a kitchen hand in a small dingy restaurant. It was during this time did his love for plants become reignited as one day on his way home form work, he bumped into the shopkeeper of the Enchanted Florist and ended up having a long conversation. The conversation lead to Theo paying his first visit to his old childhood hang out in a long time. Theo notice during his visit there was a "help wanted" sign hanging front window. It was during the visit he asked about the job. The shopkeeper already aware Theo had a good knowledge of plants, so the shopkeeper offered Theo a paid trial.

Thinking it be a good idea and way out of his current job, so took the offer and for the next three weeks started his trail at his old childhood hang out. After the three weeks he was given the job, Theo feeling happy he was able to enjoy a deeply held passion of his once again and earn a wage to boot. After several months of hard work, the owner of the Florist offered Theo to qualify him as a botanist so he could become a botanist if he wanted. Not willing to waste such a chance Theo jumped on it even if meant a little extra work.

Personality: Theo personality is dependent on where he is and what he is doing. Maintaining what he calls his business persona.

Business Persona: When at work or doing anything that is important or anything that simply requires a more serious attitude, Theo uses this well-mannered and quiet person A persona that always keep things professional and buries his personal feeling, no matter what they are behind a small smile. While using this persona he tends to thinking things out carefully before he does things, to avoid stuff ups.
Real Personality: Theo's real personality, is one that is carefree and cheerful and somewhat energetic 90% of the time. With very little that can sour his mood even in the slightest way, or if something dose sour his mood he very good at hiding it. Theo is typically fairly lazy when it comes to doing things, most of the time only really doing things as he needs to. Unless said thing gives him something he wants, or is something he finds enjoyable thus giving him motivation. Otherwise, unless it absolutely needs doing Theo needs someone to kick him in the ass (sometimes literally) to get him to moving. Once he starts a task Theo is the type the likes to see things though to completion and hates being pulled away form an unfinished task.

Although it is rare Theo when starts to feel angry or sad and actually shows it for all to see it tends to be in extremes with him going super nova on someone or become very depressed. He will open up to friends or someone he cares about, provide they pry information out of people pretty well and can tolerate his avoidance about talking about his feelings.

Theo tends to play rough, often in the form of playful punching or for his friends given them crushing hugs. When Theo set his mind on something (e.g. a goal of some sort) he shows a very driven and determined attitude and will do whatever it takes to get that something. This applies to his work persona as well. If he can't get what he wants or it snatched away from him Theo tends to get depressed and be quite difficult to cheer up.

The other 10% of his personalty, is more mellow and thoughtful side to him. Typically this side of him is reserved only those he holds affection for, but if the mood strikes him it shows itself around others. During these times Theo can be quite the romantic around some he "likes" and is easily swayed by his emotions by they good or bad.

Profession: Works as an Apprentice Optician in a small glasses boutique called "An Eye for Fashion"

Bio/Personality: Kyle is a fierce individual, a passionate young man with the determination and confidence to back it up, but with enough understanding to process taken information and give a proper response, often with unexpected wisdom. Because of this his demeanor and low even toned voice can often relax people and a smile could brighten up anyone's day. There are times that he has bouts of anger, but more often than not he'll only get mad if someone really messes up.

Kyle originally came to Japan from America to study in university, after only attending university for a few semesters, it dawned on him that he hated schooling, but came to love the country he'd spent his time in. Kyle was determined to remain in Japan, even filing for a work visa and looking for any business willing to hire him in Shine City, most places unfortunately turned him down, that is until he came upon a little glasses boutique. Inside he met with the owner, a kindly old gentleman, Mr. Hiroshi, who would take Kyle under his wing and teach him all he needed to work in the glasses industry. With a new job and a place to sleep at night, Kyle had found his home.

Since Season 2: Kyle has pretty much kept to himself this whole while, the only real difference is that he's cut his hair significantly shorter.

For a man who's as old as he is, most would assume him to retire or live somewhere a bit quieter, but he always says, "I thrive where the youth live, there's a fire in them that I just can't get enough of." He's known to out drink anyone who dares to challenge him, earning him the title of "The Dwarf of Japan".

Hiroshi met Dr. Dajianus some years ago and traveled across Europe with him for several months. Inspired by their travels they started a business together in Shine City, to give those an option of eyewear that was outside their normal culture.

Because of his deep rooted professionalism he doesn't accept shoddy work and will only do things by the book.

Dr. Dajianus was born in the UK and there earned his license and medical degree. It wouldn't be for some time in his service to the industry (and marriage) that he'd be introduced to Mr. Hiroshi.

Motorcycle Courier and Mechanic

Blade grew up abused and neglected in a drunken household with his elder brother and two sisters, living out his youth hiding underneath the bed when his parents got home to take their anger out on their kids. Through the brief periods of quiet and sanctuary, he often found himself in his late grandfather's workshop, working on the engines of vintage vehicles and delving into books of engineering and invention. One day, when he was sixteen years old, he came home to find his home blocked off with police tape, his parents now reduced to mere chalk outlines on the bloodied tile of the kitchen floor.

He later learned that his brother had been arrested for murder in the first degree; he'd killed his parents via the pistol his dad kept in his closet, wearing a gasmask he took from the tool-shed. The experience was so surreal and traumatic, that Blade lost the ability to speak. The psychologists diagnosed him with Selective Mutism, moving him from foster family to foster family in an effort to get him to open up and speak; he never did.

Eventually, after so many years away from his sisters, he soon came to resent them. They too, became nothing but a repressed memory.

Life after that, went on. Martin got a job as a mechanic in the inner city, had a part time job as a mail courier, and made enough money to rent a small apartment on eastern side of town.

Then his brother broke out of prison.

Murders sprang up around the city; he knew exactly who had committed them.

Yet he did nothing, continuing to hide from the world despite his brother's recapture the previous winter. That was when he couldn't bear to show his face to the outside world; it was the time he found he couldn't remove his motorcycle helmet, no matter how hard he tried. There were some things that he just couldn't bring himself to do.

Perhaps now was the time to move on with his life.

---

Blade is, in all sense of the word, 'the strong and silent type.' He doesn't say much and keeps to himself, but he still takes care of his mind, soul, and body.

Romance is something that has never really crossed his mind, but he's knows that if he tries, it'll difficult as all hell to stay committed to it. He's aware he as issues, lots of issues.

But for now, he could use a cold one.

Gender:
Female

Appearance

Ash stands around 7'0 and is a lean, skinny, well toned muscular figure with light tanned skin. Short dirty blonde messy hair with her bangs covering her eyes a lot of the times, though she does push them to the side usually when looking at people. She had a nasty scar on her face of what looks like a claw Mark from her right temple to her left side of the cheekbone, one going from the right cheekbone to the middle of the left cheek, and the last going from the middle of the right cheek to the left of the jaw. Is usually wearing baggy clothes, but almost always has her black coat with white fluff trimming.

Party Trick:
She has a very good eye. Usually when she's somewhat focused, she can spot little things. She's also is able to throw someone flat on their back. Though she usually avoids having to.

Profession:
Firefighter

Personality:
Ashton is a very quiet individual. Literally. No really she hardly ever speaks, even to close friends. Some people have a hard time deciding if she's mute or just chooses not to speak. That isn't to say she isn't social however. She's quite animated in her movements and usually gets her point across to others by facial expressions and physical motions. Though, she does always carry a boogie board around her neck to write out any words she wants to communicate toward someone. Friendly and outgoing, she's happy to greet with just about anyone. Also a bit adventurous and enjoys wandering about on her down time. Usually, she's eager to please and is a bit naïve at times. A bit of a space cadet, she'll at times turn quite a bit klutzy when she's not focused on anything. Or, just get absolutely lost in the city during her walk-a-bouts. Is absolutely oblivious when it comes to romantic matters. One could fairly say she's a tomboy. She doesn't usually upkeep appearance as she doesn't see much point. Her body doesn't exactly meet the 'womanly attractive' criteria. Too tall, too flat, no hips. Never dresses 'girly' but she does like plushies. That and she would much rather get dirty by playing in rain puddles rather than putting on a dress or makeup.

Bio:
Growing up a orphan, Ashton doesn't have much memory before the age of ten. She's just always lived at the orphanage to her knowledge. She was a pretty quiet child, didn't talk much, but enjoyed exploring. One day, when playing by a bridge, she almost fell off it, but someone saved her. A woman of the military, and it was a start of her wishing to join the army. This woman was named Claire Griffon. Whom soon was kind enough to adopt the lanky child. A beautiful woman with a kind heart, with a bit of a stern way of upbringing, she still did her best to raise Ashton. Ashton ended up wanting to be exactly like Claire. Kind, able to show love to just about anyone. Not romantic... just... a pure emotion. It was hard to explain with words. When she turned the age of eighteen, she went off to follow her dream of following her adoptive mothers footsteps. Serving the armed service for three years, specializing with the sniper rifle. Though she retired and instead decided to train the next two as a firefighter. The army turned out just not to be for her, as she did not want to actually hurt people. She wanted to help them. Only staying so long was because she wanted to make Claire proud. However, one day she received a letter notifying Ashton that Claire passed away due to a accident that caused their apartment to be erupted in flames. Distraught and heartbroken, she felt completely lost, unsure what her purpose was anymore. However, after a few letters Claire had sent her prior, her confidence slowly returned. So she decided to do another physically active job that did help people that didn't exactly involve fighting people. Fighting fire. Deciding that was the best way to share kindness to others like others have shown to her.

Dislikes: February, suicide, grape flavored candy, getting deceived (It happens far too many times), hamburgers, people joking about suicide, getting drunk, the thought of ever messing up with her work, nightmares, "love", too many clocks in one room.(+)


Mirei has been playing the violin for as long as she can remember. Her mother used to play it and pushed it onto her. She has in fact one a few national contests as well.

She can drink. A lot.


Clinical Laboratory Scientist. This means that she knows a lot about different types of things. This doesn’t limit her really. She could know about seizures, strokes, and the latter just as much as her certain field that she specializes in. Mirei makes sure that she doesn’t limit herself and can help people in any situation. She debated on becoming a doctor and studied up on that for a short time of her life, knowing the simple operation techniques and being able to stitch someone up whenever. However, she later figured out that she was more interested in learning about diseases, organ transplantation, genetic testing, etc.

---

---

A lot of people would say she’s sweet and some would say she's stupid because of this. Mirei has always been sweet to people around her and is pretty innocent. She will never look down on anyone for whatever the reason and is a strong believer of the line “We were all created equally”. A positive girl for the most time, she at least attempts to look at only the good parts of her surroundings. But she doesn’t like cursing aloud and hearing it makes her somewhat cringe if it's said too much.

However. This doesn’t mean she’s a saint. She will curse you out if you manage to anger her. But that just doesn’t happen much. Mirei honestly doesn’t like to think about others in a bad light and will never use the words “demented”, “retarded”, or “mental” to insult anyone.

An honest girl. She hates to lie. It isn't something she does much but she just might if someone really is in need of a white lie perhaps.

Mirei has always gave, gave, and gave some more to the people around her without thinking about what would happen to herself most of the times. Worrying her friends and confusing Mirei since she doesn’t know why she wouldn’t help them. If someone is outside in the cold. A random child or even an adult, she won’t think twice about taking them under her wing and trying to help them out.

She has… not much of a sense of danger sadly. A unfortunate flaw in her sweetness. Gang neighborhood? She’ll go there. Threats are usually the things that raise her sense of awareness. Or if you act really creepy and manage to make her assume things. It doesn't help that she's a bit clumsy sometimes. Only sometimes.

Mirei has her own little dare devil side. Since her parents can't tell her that she's disappointing them or anything anymore, expect her to reveal more of her true nature in Shine city~

A sweet nature but she doesn’t have much self confidence. Usually looking down with her hair covering her face. She isn’t shy or anything. She just doesn’t like to be seen. However, if she does happen to meet someone’s eyes by chance, she’ll give them a genuine smile that doesn’t look superficial whatsoever. This causes some people to actually talk to her and she’ll gladly welcome conversation.

Logical with her way of thinking. She for sure does know her stuff and won’t be getting called an idiot anytime soon with the way she processes a lot of things.

Gullible and a bit oblivious. Mirei hasn’t always been the brightest girl. She doesn’t get every dirty jokes but the ones she does, she’ll laugh off. Mirei doesn’t consider herself a romantic partner and probably won’t for a while so she doesn’t mind people joking around about that stuff. However, if they’re serious, it may be pretty scary for her. She wouldn’t be able to understand the reason which will cause her to believe that she’s getting deceived or feel bad for them. She also doesn’t believe she deserves it as well as hating the word “love”. The gullible part is as mentioned before, she falls for things easily.

Denial. Mirei doesn’t like the truth. She is in denial over many things in her life. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll do her best to block it out and usually will. Miye has always hated people telling her as it is but gets through it by biting her tongue and smiling a plastic smile that says god knows what in reality. Mirei is thick skinned and can take a bunch of insults before she finally breaks.
(A few more deets that I won’t be adding in here~)


Mirei grew up in a middle-high class family that wanted her to be the best. She tried her best but they weren’t satisfied. Her father would lash out at her mother who was already depressed to begin with. The words “I never even wanted a child!” came out of her mother's mouth as she gasped, noticing that Mirei was watching them argue. She was hurt and locked herself in her room as her mother pounded on the door for a while before they began to argue again over whose fault this was. But Mirei managed to block it out and became a plastic doll. She attempted to be perfect and make her parents even more proud.

When she was 13, Mirei came home to see that her mother had hanged herself. A terrifying sight along with the note that said 4 words. “I love you Mirei.” it was her fault. Somehow, she twisted it into that assumption. Mirei’s father was out that day, having sex with whoever but coming home to see this made him feel a strong pang of guilt as well. He turned to alchohol for this. And like Mirei, denied that it involved him even though he knew it did. He mostly blamed Mirei but was still kind to her at the same time.

Mirei had to take care of her father for a long time since he wasn’t really mentally stable anymore. He grew less talkative over the years and began to apologize more and more often but she had already forgave him for everything.

School wasn’t that good for Mirei. A group of girls bullied her but she was still fine. She was fine with everything. So, during her later high school years, she made a few friends and had a pretty good time.

Her father died of old age and was already completely taken over by Alzheimer's and had forgotten who Mirei was. She was 20 at the time but was genuinely glad he died peacefully at the old folks home but sadly, her mother’s dead body will always haunt her.

She went to college with a scholarship and later became a Clinical Laboratory Scientist. However, she hasn't done much outside of studying. Going out with her friends only happened once or twice in her life before her mom's suicide. Coming to Shine City to finally get away from her hometown that didn’t hold too many fond memories. Of course... It was mainly because a head requested she change her location since they needed her over there. She’s positively looking forward to her experience.
(A few more deets that I won’t be adding in here~)

* Her father forced her into aikido so she has been doing that for a while and still knows a bunch of techniques.
* Father was a gun fanatic which lead to her knowing a bit about them herself... If not to the point of being geeky.
*Violin Prodigy
*Knows her way around making alcohol drinks

[Daxam]

Name: Zacary 'Zac' Yoxall

Age: 22

Appearance:

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 160 lbs.

Likes: Spicy food, cute girls, cooking, video games, kids, slacking off when he can, making friends, anime/manga, and jogging

Dislikes: Sour food, people who look down on others, being unable to help those who he considers friends

Party Trick: He's a very skilled magician

Profession: Currently unemployed

Bio/Personality: Zacary Yoxall was born the only child to a middle-class family. He wasn't too rich, but he wasn't poor, either. As a kid, it was always easy for him to make friends, even if he moved to a completely new school district. He was always the person in the middle of his groups of friends, a grin on his face as he joked around. Eventually, when he was about ten, he decided to take on magic and excelled at it.

As he went through school, he had his shares of relationships that came to an end more often than not. Most of the time, when he broke up with a girl, it was on good terms, but that isn't to say that there were also times when the break-up wasn't so amicable. After he graduated high school he decided to strike out on his own. His parents, always supporting, wished him the best, even though they had hoped he would have gone to college.

In the five months since that fateful party, Zac had left Shine City, resuming his travels, though with a heavier heart after realizing he couldn't help his friend, an indirect victim of that night. During his travels, he had taken up what jobs he could to further his illusory talents. Over time, he had made a name for himself, though he was still a far cry from the kind of fame he was searching for. However, his mind never wandered far from the friends he had made in Shine City. So, one day, feeling as though he was being called back, he packed up and returned to Shine City.

Zac is a friendly, outgoing kind of guy. He's the type of guy who would gladly be the first to do something insane. While he seems to have it all together, however, it's incredibly easy for him to get lost somehow, whether it be trying to walk to the store or just trying to find a bathroom in the bar. It's so bad, he could even be given a map, but it would prove useless, as he would either forget to read it or lose it altogether.

Other: He carries what he calls an 'Emergency Magic Kit' everywhere he goes, which comes with a deck of cards, a wand with a pre-stocked bouquet, and he always has a pair of Fireshooters on the palms of his hands. Other things are included in his emergency kit, but a good magician doesn't reveal (all of) his secrets.

• Adrenaline – he’s the guy to go to when you need something stupidly dangerous done
• Whiskey – because most other alcohol just doesn’t get him where he’s going as enjoyably
• Backbone – nothing will get you in his good graces faster than standing up to him
• Serendipity – chance meetings with interesting people is what gets him up in the mornings evenings

Dislikes:

• Dishonesty – he finds people that lie, whether to others or to themselves, to be a waste of time
• Excessive whining – why waste breath complaining about something when you can spend that energy fixing the problem?
• Arrogance – nothing gets under his skin quite like a person that needs to be knocked down a peg
• Euphemisms/polite language – just say what you mean dammit
• Sedentariness – the guy will go stir-crazy after sitting still for about a minute and a half (on a good day)
• Cars – they take the fun out of feeling the city around you
• Cats – one whiff of their dander is enough to send him into an apocalyptic sneezing fit
• Formal attire – pigs will fly before he will get in a stuffy penguin suit without a fight
• Rules/authority – merely on principle, but he is capable of conforming when absolutely, positively necessary

Party Trick:

The guy is scary good when it comes to making random sound effects

Profession:

Never one to be held down by any one job for long, Reiji is an eternal freelancer that is always on the lookout for work to help make ends meet. From bartending to babysitting (happens more often than you would think), his vast skillset makes him the perfect guy for whatever odd job that comes his way.

Bio/Personality:

Reiji’s life has always been a loud one. Having been born in a big city to middle class parents and with two brothers, one older and one younger, you would think that the kid would have at least started out shy. In that regard, you would be dead wrong, as he has quite literally been kicking and screaming for the better part of 24 years now. The guy was always the loudest and most energetic in his class, which are two traits that can still be seen in him all too prominently to this day. Friends certainly didn’t come easy to the rambunctious tot, especially since he has always been the type that isn’t afraid to speak his mind. But the few that he did manage to make found a steadfastly loyal friend.

And it was one of those friends, Yuusuke Hijikata, that got him into music. All throughout his academic career, Reiji was a painfully average student due to the amount of focus and patience it took to succeed. But when he strummed his first chord on a guitar, the little guy was hooked for life. Traditional training quickly proved to be fruitless, as his attention span was never all that forgiving, but he took what he did learn and had a surprising amount of success teaching himself how to play. In fact, the kid was always a quick learner, he just never had the head for too much abstract thinking. Ask him to rewire a circuit board? No problem, just give him the basics and a few days and he’ll get it done. But throw him a complex math problem that is nothing but numbers and letters? Forget about it, life is just too damn short to waste on that junk.

It wasn’t until he was in high school that Yuusuke asked him to start a band. To this day, Reiji remembers the moment all too clearly. Their little band was his first taste of life outside of the norms and expectations that society had for him and the little brat couldn’t get enough of it. He experienced freedom first hand, with the only expectations he had to answer to being from his audience that wanted to see him kick ass on the guitar. For years, Reiji had been growing more and more distant with his parents, as they did not approve of him dying his hair blood red or his taste in friends, but it was when his grades started to suffer because of how invested he was with his music that they truly grew apart. At the time, the little monster thought it was convenient when they stopped nagging him about grades and his future, but in time he would realize that what it really meant was that they had given up on him.

It wouldn’t stop him though. As his band saw more success, Reiji continued to develop his taste for recklessness. Out of all the poor decisions he would make and the bad habits he would pick up, smoking would prove to be the most expensive and hardest to kick. But if given the choice, he wouldn’t change anything, as he believes that for better or worse, everything he went through shaped him into the jack ass that he is and he wouldn't have it any other way. Needless to say, it was a miracle that the schmuck was able to graduate from high school at all, but the end of his formal education would also mark the end of his friends’ no name band. Most of the members decided that it was time to grow up and get real jobs. The thought of going to college or settling down sickened Reiji to no end.

Once again, Yuusuke, who at this point was more of a brother to Reiji than his two siblings, offered him a way out. Like him, Yuusuke couldn’t stand the idea of losing the punk attitude that he had spent so much time cultivating, so the two of them set off to make a band together. The start was unbelievably rocky, but they were determined and would manage to put together a group of idiots with just enough talent to get by. Relying on gigs for a paycheck proved to be very feast or famine in nature, which was what first caused Reiji to start picking up odd jobs, learning anything he could about just about everything. By the time he was 20, the delinquent lived in a one room apartment with three other guys and barely had enough money to buy his daily pack of cigarettes. And he couldn’t have been happier.

By 22, Reiji had embraced the punk lifestyle fully. His voice had become slightly scraggly from smoking and he had a notorious hair-trigger temper. He had little patience and even less respect for authority, but was generally kept in check by Yuusuke, who had always been the more levelheaded one of the two. Their band had drawn a rather substantial following and for the first time things seemed to have been looking up for the scamp. But unfortunately, the good times just couldn't last. The band broke up not even a month after his 22nd birthday when Yuusuke died. Of the few things that he remembers of the time, that funeral was the last time Reiji ever lit a cigarette.

The exact circumstances of the event aren’t clear, but, if you value your well being at all, it is not a subject you bring up around Reiji. The death of his brother cast a long shadow over him, one so long that it would take him the better portion of two years to fully escape from it. But when he emerged, he knew that the only way to renounce the awful excuse of a human being he had been for the past few years was to get a fresh start. Shine City had always been home to one of their favorite venues, so the decision to move there came easily to him.

But with no band, hardly any savings, and a rather lackluster personality, Reiji is finding himself once again marketing himself off to do odd jobs. He still has a fiery temper and general lack of respect for authority, but he has been tempered with the understanding that life is too precious to be wasted. The result is a loud, boisterous individual that is still reckless, but also isn’t afraid to let people know what they truly mean to him. There are a great many faults to be found in his uncouth disposition, but those that are able to see past it might just find a guy capable of surprising them.

Name: Michael "The Champion" Anderson
Age: 24

Weight: 160 lbs

Dislikes: Suits, Snobs, Fancy Food(caviar and the like), Cheaters(in games and otherwise), Losing(he is a very sore loser), Dubstep Music(he hates it)

Party Trick: Adding to the fact that he likes classical music and most other types of music, he knows how play not only the piano, but with the guitar as well.

Profession: Independent Game Developer

Bio/Personality:

If you would look at Michael now, you would have never guessed he comes from a family of rich and selfish people. Born in a country in the S-E of Europe, Michael had everything he wanted and needed... except his parents. His parents weren't dead or anything, they just traveled so much abroad that he barely ever got to see them, resulting him in being raised by the servants of the mainson rather than anyone else.

For the first ten years of his life, he grew up to the standards of the parents that were never even there, having proper etiquette, learning to play various musical instruments(he only wanted to learn the piano) and generaly being a good little boy and listen to his parents.

However, at the age of 10 he discovered something great, something with which he would shape his life around... video games. After discovering them, he couldn't stop playing them and eventually acing them, for him, gaming was now not only a hobby but a skill, however after he had aced all the games his parents had bought him, he wanted more, and so he accessed the internet...

... and came a changed man, not only did he buy a lot of games from there, he had also become attracted to the more... mature sites there, slowly having turned him into a bit of a pervert. His parents, however, grew to dislike this new stile of his and decided to stop him, however, his mother having gotten pregnant again took away the "heat" from him.

However, even video games became predictable, soon enough he longed for more games, but they became too predictable and soon, he started to learn to make them as well. However, his parents had become worried, not for Michael, but for their newborn daughter. They thought that their son would "infect" her with this love for video games and gave him a sort of "ultimatum".

If he left the country and was able to do something with his "game skills", they would send him a monthly stipend just large enough to have him last through a month. If he wanted anything else, he would have to earn his own money.

And so, he picked Shine County, specifically Shine City to be his refuge. Now, he has lived for about two years in the city, only spending his time playing games, eating, sleeping and sometimes going out to scout the city for potential gaming partners.

Other Info: He got the nickname "The Champion" because of his tendency to win most solo gaming tournaments with some ease.

Name:
Jason Maxwell "Max" Allen
Age:
22
Appearance:

Height:
6'0"
Weight:
175lbs.
Likes:
Video Games, Music, Coffee, Dancing.
Dislikes:
Horror, Gore, Strong Alcohol, Strategy Games.
Party Trick:
Dancing. (Ironically, when he's drunk, he dances better.)
Profession:
Jason, or rather Max works at Tiny Snowflake Restaurant. He takes people's orders, writes 'em down, and hands it to the cooks.
Bio/Personality:
Max is a very chill person. Under his handsome appearance, he's actually a funny guy. Unlike most people, when playing games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Counter Strike he doesn't get pissed when he is killed in game. This could very annoying, the fact that he rarely gets mad but also gives him a sort of charm. Max is known to be a little bit of a sore winner as well.

Max is pansexual, meaning that he can love men, women, or transgenders, even hermaphrodites. The only thing that matters to him is the person's personality. He's never really dated a male or transgender.

Just because he's a chill person, doesn't mean he doesn't get angry. He usually gets angry when he can't do something, like not beating a question from the infamous game, Impossible Quiz. He doesn't ask for help a lot, because he's stubborn and tries to do things himself.

He is very scared of horror, if he thinks he sees something, or hears something in a horror game he might quit the game, because of this his friends usually tease him of being a scaredy-cat. He hates being called that, even though it's true. Not to mention that gore is mildly disgusting to him. It doesn't matter if it's gore in virtual reality, real life, or even movies, he will walk out of the room or actually throw up if he sees entrails.

But why spoil EVERYTHING about Max, the rest to know about him is to be learned!

Profession: Teaching Assistant for the Humanities program at Shine City Academy
Bio/Personality:
Raised in the rural countryside, Akihiro had a rather pleasant life with his hard working parents, who worked their small plot of family owned land and sold their goods at various markets for a decent living. While he enjoyed the freedom of roaming around the family property with his brother and two sisters, the agricultural lifestyle didn’t have the same draw that it did for his other siblings. He occupied his time with the tomes of mythology and history that were passed down by his grandfather. Noticing that his son was spending so much time buried in books, Akihiro’s father proclaimed that he would send the boy off to university as long as he maintained his workload around the farm and continued to excel in school. Akihiro worked tirelessly to maintain a near perfect set of grades throughout secondary school and to help out around the home, applying to as many universities as he could in his spare moments. It was when he turned seventeen that Shine City Academy replied back to his application, stating that he would be accepted into their collegiate studies program. After saying goodbye to the family, Akihiro was off.

Seven years seemed to fly by, Akihiro growing from a wide-eyed boy fresh from the country to a refined young man with charisma and charm. He had gained a few close friends, experienced some of the best that Shine City had to offer and decided that he would follow in the footsteps of his professors, going down the path of scholar and professor himself. After completing his undergraduate degree at 22, he rolled right into the graduate program for Humanities, earning the position of teaching assistant. With only a year left in his program, Akihiro is beginning to realize that his life as a student will soon close...

My Hider

Name: Copen Thorsen
Age: 20
Appearance:Copen stands tall at 6,4" with a slender, coltish-limbed frame. He has honey-blond hair that sticks up in points when not styled (which takes him a bit of time; he’s fairly vain) and navy blue eyes. His eyebrows and eyelashes are a slightly darker shade of blond. Copen is European (Danish), and his features are sharp in his longer-than-average face. His nose is straight, with no bend to it, and his pale pink lips are thin. He has a sharp jawline that is slightly squared. Copen’s best feature is probably his slightly-too-big-for-his-face smile – not necessarily because his teeth are white, but due to its easygoing nature appearance that matches his. He sometimes dresses a bit hipster-ish. He doesn't tend to follow fashion very closely; moreso just what he likes.
Weight: 70kg
Likes: Beer, ladies, dancing, light-hearted people, fish, cycling
Dislikes: Sobriety (in both ways), quiet, litter
Party Trick: “You think I can’t beat you in a drinking competition? Hah!”
Profession: Unemployed; wanting to work at The Cornerstone
Bio/Personality: Copen is ever-happy and ever-smiling. It is rather difficult to get him down in the dumps. He is a rather free soul, usually leaping from one woman to the next – he’s quite the ladies’ man. He doesn’t intend to break hearts; he simply gets distracted (this is true in other parts of his life as well). He’s quite flirtatious and charming; with a quick smile that crinkles the corners of his deep blue eyes. Copen is a lover of parties and alcohol, and is very loud. He speaks Japanese with a Danish accent. He can be jealous over people he likes - both as friends and romantically.
Copen grew up in Denmark in an upper class family, unsure of what he wanted to do one day. However, he knew that he wanted to visit Japan someday - he was fascinated by the country. He went to an international school that offered Japanese, and took extra classes. He studied at university to become fluent, and moved to Japan for a gap year or two while working in a Danish restaurant. Copen still isn't sure of what he wants to do with the rest of his life and is still 'finding' himself.
