[Izaki]

Welcome to the guild!

@Specter189

Thank you very much!

I didn't wanna do an intro thread since I really suck at talking about myself and it was bound to be a crap-tastic mess.

By the way, I love your Berserk sig!

He founded a PMC that shoots at people the world over. So I cut him some slack.

@Ophidian

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Ophidian

I'm only a tiny bit more impressed, but not much overall

[Delta44]

Holy shit! The IC hasn't even started and we already have 15 characters and almost 300 OOC posts? :O WHAAAAAAAAAT?

[Takashi]

@Delta44 I know, right? It's crazy. Want me to PM you so we can talk about what happened with Ryoki and Yutaro over the time skip?

[Delta44]

@Takashi Yeah that sounds like a plan :P

Alright, finally got around to pounding this out in the last hour. Not my best work, but I am fairly happy with how it turned out.

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.

Aki Fevre

Name: Aki Fevre

Age: 26

Aki

Every picture with blue hair should be treated as if it has purple hair.
Every picture with purple eyes should be treated as if it has blue eyes.

Aki in clothes fitted better for winter. another winter outfit

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 136 lbs

Likes: Building, wood, metal, iron, copper, though she will not admit it flowers, big buildings, innuendos, pets, music, and stargazing.

Dislikes: Most fancy stuff (besides buildings of course), her background, overly fancy diners, pink, metal (the music genre), and her parents.

Party Trick: She can build almost anything that people want her to, with some time.

Profession: Carpenter.

Bio/Personality: Aki could be described as a tough, direct, sarcastic, brutally honest, no-nonsense girl. She is vocal and vulgar about her opinions on others, regardless of their status. She has a carefree and adventurous attitude, now that she doesn't have to care about her parents' expectations. She's actually well educated in proper manners; she merely chooses to ignore them consistently, save a few exceptions.

She likes being independent, but really only does it because she hated her life with her parents. If she had a choice, she would choose to live with someone else rather than just being alone forever. She gets lonely, but her outspoken nature sometimes drives people away.

From lying a lot to her parents and others about her family, she can usually tell when other people are, unless they're really good at it. She tries to tell the truth more often if it's a question she'd want to answer.

Aki was born as the only child of a housewife and a very famous lawyer. They were both very proper and good-mannered people, but they treated Aki as a fragile doll. This lead to her being very rebellious against them, and refused almost everything they told her to do.

Her career as a carpenter started from a young age; she met one that her father was working for and asked him if he could teach her how to build some things. The man showed her the hopes, and she grew to love building anything and everything from the smallest desk to a computer to a skyscraper. Her parents were not happy with this. They commanded Aku to never pick up a hammer every again, which she promptly replied with:

Mama, papa, you might as well bend down, shine my fucking shoes, and kiss my ass. I love what I do, I've gone this far and I'm sure as hell not going to quit now.

which enraged her parents. They never stopped telling her to quit it, but she never listened.

Somewhere along the way, she found out that she could live in an apartment for the time being with the money she gets from being a carpenter and the jobs she gets. So, she ended up getting out of the house late at night and never went back. It took her a while to get used to it, but now she's well off living where she is now.

Theme Song: Imagine Dragons - Warriors. _{p.s. I don't play and I hate league of legends}

Hey! I decided to have Shizuka change jobs. So instead of being a waitress at the Shining Kettle, I wanted her to become a bookstore clerk. I currently have it that she works at a place called the Bookmark, but it might be better for her to work at ink parks instead, just for some regular interactions with another PC. Would that be ok with you?

Ink Sparks, so far, only exists as a background notation with a vague location. After all, it has no GM approval as of yet. However, should such approval be given then I have no problem with that at all. My vision is of a very small store front, a little bigger than a gas station, with a much larger back room area that handles the majority of the business. The neighborhood would have a history of drug dealing, though that is rapidly declining due to lack of cooperation from the remaining businesses in the area. It also is an area with gangs. However, they are more like street toughs than anything else. They aren't very dangerous with the dealers moving out of the area.
