[OOC] Shine City 3: Summer Sequel (Always Accepting)

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Dynamo Frokane Oh no, Nori and Shizuka almost killed Nick!!! D:

But Nori would be honored to do the radio show on time skips. I'll add it to her profile sometime tonight, Boss! ^.^

Now you'll all be subjected to my horrible music choices! MUHAHAHAHA!

@Stern Algorithm Oh yay, I never got to interact with Shizuka in the other seasons, this will be fun!

I sort of pity any mugger who tries their luck on Kastrati once he punches out (heh) of work.

Betting two broken legs and a swollen eye. At least.

@Ophidian

She just likes being a little shit sometimes, she wouldn't be hateful about it or anything. It would probably go something like…

Nori, exhausted and covered in sweat, looked over and saw Beauregard give the signal for the DJ switch. ’Finally,’ she thought as she began to set up her premade mix to give Cash enough time to take the stage. “This one is for the man at the door! Any eligible bachelors out there should know that he loves romantic walks on the beach and being serenaded on stary nights,” she grinned, sticking her tongue at Kastrati as she hit the play button and the first couple notes of ’Truffle Butter’ flood the packed club. “Don't be shy gentlemen, go buy him a drink. DJ Haywood, out!”

And then she'd skip off to cause more mischeif. :P

[Dolerman]

All this discussion of traps....

Makes a man glad to be writing a gay character. :p

@Ophidian

He's Gay?!

[Specter189]

A million points to whoever guesses what the picture's from

Name: Scott Cawthorn

Age: 26

Height: 6ft 1

Weight: "Well wouldn't you like to know"

Likes: Soda, The Cornerstone, Honesty Peace and Quiet, Books, Anime, Jazz, 80's Power Rock, Money, Witty Commentary, Black Humor, His Cat, hawt chix Reading, Rainy Days, Cold Climates, Firearms, Fighting Games, Tabletop RPG's and Sleeping

Dislikes: Loud People, Loiterers, People who don't tip, Rap, Crowds, Strobe Lights, Staying Awake, His Cat, ugly chix Warm Temperatures, Being too hot, boisterous parties, false people. Utterly despises cigarettes and other forms of smoking

Party Trick: "Parties charge extra, keep the noise down"

Profession: Proud owner and sole bartender of The Cornerstone, the bar directly beneath his appartment

Personality: To say Scott is versatile would be an understatement. Though by his own admission he despises crowds and is normally very quiet. He possess his family's signature "Merchant's Smile" which he uses to throw up a polite and sincere veneer to all of his customers. He can be very cordial and is generally curteous to strangers, especially females. Beware, curteous though he may be, he speaks his mind and he speaks it often, with little consideration for how dry or morbid he can come across. Coincidentally this makes him a very honest person, a trait he acknowledges and expects a modicrum of from others. When one gets to know him he can come off as eccentric, rambling on about ideas and theories while also doling out sage advice. Often flipping from serious to casual in tone and expression. There is some truth in these traits; however, he masks his true personality beneath them, hiding a pensive, lonely individual. The irony of his distaste for dishonesty and false appearences is very apparent to him and can serve to excaberate his own exsasperation with himself. He often thinks about opening up to people close to him but maturity hasn't quite beaten the visceral fear of heartbreak that he has acquired from his childhood.

He has an addictive personality, which is why hr guzzles down glass after glass of soda. He doesn't dare start drinking his own wares because he knows full well what'll happen to him if he does. One current quandary of his is how his own weakness to addictions would affect him if he were to slip and fall in love. Fortunately for him he's never found out. He is a very private person and absolutely hates sharing information about himself if he doesn't need to. He does believe in equivalent exchange however, so he will give more details than normal if someone offers their own details. His belief in honesty has also fostered a sense of trust, and he will never give away a secret if he can help it.

Overall not someone you'd invite to a party, but a loyal and trustworthy friend that you can say damn near anything to.

Bio: Scott's life was relatively peaceful and uneventful. The death of his beloved Grandfather when he was 7 rocked the boy's world, and turned the normally cheerful and gregarious Scott into a quiet, withdrawn kid. His parents dealt with their own grief and unknowingly left him to his own devices. This led to him being stilted and awkward growing up, as such he withdrew more and more until coming under a depression, which lasted the majority of his child and young adult life until one day he finally decided that he was tired of feeling sorry for himself.

When he finally left the house, his parents revealed to him a surprise. His Grandfather had left him an inheritance, enough for him to live a comfortable, yet modest lifestyle for the rest of his life. At first he spent a considerable amount of time traveling the world, not staying in one place for too long of a time. Once he finally tired of the lifestyle he decided to settle in the next town or city he visited, that happened to be Shine City. It didn't take him long to find out about an old rundown bar on the floor directly beneath his apartment. On a split decision he decided to buy the place, using up the last of his inheritence in the fees of owning, refurbishing, and restocking it. After a couple months of refurbishing and getting everything set and in order, he's able to open up to a new chapter of his life.

Theme

The Cornerstone

Scott's beloved bar, it gets its name for being based on the corner of the building like so. Its very modest in size, though it offers a very, very large selection of alcoholic beverages to its patrons. Also features a pool table and a jukebox. Smoking is strictly prohibited.

Main Theme

Playlist coming soon

Good God that took forever, let me know of any changes or additions I need to make

@Narcotic Dollie

"....You're going to hell for this. I hope you know that."

This is going to be fun.

[Dolerman]

@Narcotic Dollie first post goes to you Dollie, you can kick the IC off with a radio broadcast!

I'll be focusing more on Aoi and her preferences and Jack Jonai as he settles into Shine County as a full time citizen.

Rosanna will still be around to keep the guys occupied....

@Dynamo Frokane

Can they knock his teeth loose?

At this point, I'm inclined to say anything that's male, human, and willing to scrap is probably fair game in his eyes.

[ClocktowerEchos]

but Nick Weston wont be in season 3, hes in Rehab.

After having his heart broken he ended up doing coke with Kaga and got into a world of trouble over the spring.

@Dynamo Frokane

wtf O_o?

EDIT: No, seriously, what the fuck happened? Was Kaga turned into an NPC after I had disappeared or something? Smoking crack with a guy he barely knew was not something I had planned for her at all.

[Saarebas]

@Dynamo Frokane Man and it feels like just yesterday that Arty had to keep Nick from sneaking into LUSH (=P

[Specter189]

Poor Nick.

[Saarebas]

His fiery red hair hangs down to the back of his neck is paired with a thick beard that runs the length of Arty's jaw. His eyes are a dark hazel and are usually full of a unmistakable joyful glee. He normally wears a simple T-shirt with jeans and a pair of work boots, even his work uniform is the same thing save for it just being all black.

Party Trick
Arty can river dance while holding a beer keg over his head and chugging from it.

Profession
Arty is a bouncer at CLUB Lush, he usually works as the door man but he is the one everyone calls when trouble pops up inside. He also takes a cooking class at the academy, though that is much more of just a hobby.

Bio/Personality
Arty is a real softy at heart, though this should be expected from a man who grew up in a house with five older sisters and three younger ones. He grew up being told how he had to respect a lady and how to appreciate the more feminine things in life, like good home cooked meals. Though things weren't all sweet in Arty's life seeing as his dad was a mean drunk that liked to knock his wife and kids around, often waving his old revolver around to threaten them even further. This went on for years until Arty was about thirteen and he finally stood up to his dad. It was a pretty bad fight, but Arty won and kicked the scum out of the house, telling him that he wasn't aloud anywhere near his family from that point onward. Seeing himself as the man of the house Arty got himself a bunch of odd jobs to help bring some money in. After a while though Arty was able to find himself a job in Shine City that was paying more than double all his odd jobs combine were. So he packed up and moved, he still sends as much money as he can back to his Mum and three little sisters, his older sisters had already moved out a while ago.

@Dynamo Frokane KYLE WAS NEVER HER BOYFRIEND SHE ONLY KNEW HIM FOR TWO DAYS IC DHHSJDJNDJDDDNDNDNNDKWJDNDNDND

*Coughs* Hah hah, sorry, I may have malfunctioned for a second. I'm rebooting now. :D

As for the first post, rodger that, bossman! Can I assume starting it at mid-morning on Saturday (I believe that's when we started the last two seasons, actually! XD ) is cool with you?

I think tommorow afternoon would be a good time for a first post, hm? That way people have a bit more time to finish up any WIP profiles.

@Specter189 Scott is good to go, feel free to move him over! :D

[Dolerman]

@Dynamo Frokane

@ClocktowerEchos

That Kaga thing was just a joke, but Nick was seriously depressed, he used coke after the encounter, I'm making it canon that they went on dates and eventually had sex but Nick couldnt come to terms with the fact that he was banging a guy and enjoyed it so he started using drugs.
But Kaga wasnt involved in that chapter.

[Saarebas]

@Dynamo Frokane The man taking baking lessons, truly the embodiment of all things manly XD

<Snipped quote by Ophidian>
Now you see @Saarebas had the manliest male character back in Season 1 and guess what his job was?

@Dynamo Frokane

I think he was posted for approval awhile back!

Yeah. I can see him and Kastrati giving each other copious amounts of shit over firearms-Kastrati's love of them and Arty's dislike of them. Kastrati is a big Warsaw Pact fan.
