*blinks a few times*
Did someone say something about RPing in the OOC earlier?

*Twitches until I turn into Mimi*
It does not fucking matter if it doesn't bother you or not to find out the climax before you get to it. It is a general regard and respect for others and letting them experience the storyline just as you were able to. It is about letting the story play out the way it was intended to. It is about showing a little consideration for those around especially when you know that it contains big and/or shocking spoilers and showing them on purpose.

@Azaria Blue

I'd reccomend taking a chill pill

[Azaria Blue]

Me making decisions

[Woundwort]

Well that happened.

[Specter189]

What? Woah woah woah slow down, I only threw up some of the older and most widely known spoilers as a joke, probably one in poor taste, sure but don't leave a massive rp just because I was being an ass, our characters don't even have to interact.

I apologize for my part in rustling your jimmies, but aren't you over reacting a bit?

[Azaria Blue]

When you think you've done something well

[ClocktowerEchos]

Well then

That escalated very quickly

Not sure if it was really all that necessary as well :\

I see both sides are at fault in a way tho

[Matsuri]

just gonna plop this here before i get some shut eye

a wild aya suddenly appeared

---

~ Aya ~

---

---

NAME:
Aya Kagamine

AGE:
24

APPEARANCE:
A skyscraper of a Japanese woman, Aya stands at around 5'9. Her hair is thick and short, and her eyes are quite thin and sharp. There's also a small beauty spot at the bottom of her lip. Despite her personality, Aya chooses her outfits wisely, donning a different hat each day with an outfit to match. She also wears glasses, but only when she's reading unnecessarily small text. Funnily enough, her eyebrows are quite thin, something people usually tease her for (and something she usually beats people up for saying such things).

HEIGHT:
5'9

WEIGHT:
132 lbs

LIKES:
Reading
Racoons
Spicy food
Writing
Poetry with deep meanings
Writing
Scaring away flocks of pigeons (when there's no one around, of course.)
Writing
Taking walks in the park (especially early in the morning)
Chewing things (mostly gum)

DISLIKES:
Beaches
Sweet food
Heavy rain
Aeroplanes (Lord she's terrified of 'em)
The deep end of the swimming pool (or the fucking sea)
Getting lost in the middle of nowhere
Lettuce (there's a story behind that)
Fonts that are too damn small to read

PARTY TRICK:
Aya's surprisingly good at thinking up decent rhymes on the spot. She's also not too bad as a singer, either.

OCCUPATION:
Cashier at the Eye For Fashion boutique.

PERSONALITY:
Aya is usually seen as this calm and quiet person who will really only speak when spoken to. She's always the one to linger in the background, and her often aloof behaviour and sharp featured face definitely gives off a stay-the-hell-away-from-me impression. In reality though, Aya is just a firework that could be set off at any moment. Stubborn, fearless, and having a no-nonsense and brutally honest attitude, Aya doesn't really attract much positive attention. If you delve a bit more into reality however, you'll find the true, hidden Aya. Going into depth about this confused lady that doesn't know what to do in life would ruin the experience though, so you guys will just have to discover what this girl's really like on your own.

But in conclusion, just don't piss Aya off. Like, ever. Once the spark lights the fire, there's no going back.

Aya also has her fair share of quirks and habits as well. She tends to chews on the ends of her pens (especially when she's stressed or nervous) and is surprisingly an early riser. Her voice is actually a bit deep, but it doesn't take an abnormally high IQ to figure out she's a woman.

BIO:
Ever since not so little Aya was born, her single mother had always been struggling to keep their lives together. From their apartment to their bookstore that was barely standing on its two feet financially, the first few years of Aya's time walking on Earth was a hard time for her mother. However, not wanting her child to be affected by such things, a smile would cover her stress, and laughter would conceal her sadness. Aya was still young then, so she didn't really notice.

Then, in her first year of high school, her mother fell ill after overworking herself. It would take about a month or so for her to fully recover, but that month would be the time where Aya realised what her mother had been going through the second she was born. It was painful to discover such things at a time of bleakness and distress.

Although Aya's passion for writing poetry had been present with her ever since childhood, a conflict within her began to boil up. She'd always wanted to become a poet of some sort, but would it be enough to fill Aya's pockets when she desperately needed it? Going for a much more 'praised' would have been, well, better, right?

Then, the time finally came for the two to part ways. Aya would have to make her own breakthrough into the real world, leaving her mother behind and leaving herself filled with worry concern. Weekly phone calls would become a thing once Aya had moved in elsewhere, and the only thing the woman hoped for was that her mother would pick up every single time she called.

The Theme of Aya

@Specter189 You did very good by apologizing, thank you Spec! I know you didn't mean to spoil anything for anybody, we all slip up sometimes. I once gave away some walking dead spoilers on my facebook and I still get mortified when I think about!

@Azaria Blue While I wish you would stay (Really, we could still be library buddies!) I respect your decision to do what makes you feel the most comfortable. I'm very sorry that you felt like this OOC was not a safe place for you, Blue. I wish you only the best things!

And, y'know, thanks for helping me proof read my profile! <3

[Section]

Hello, I'm Switzerland.

(translation: you guys resolve this crap, I'm out)

[Damiann47]

Huh, I just sorted wandered back in and saw things escalated quickly I guess? Man... well that sucks.

[Woundwort]

@Section

Well shoot, sorry to see you go. Was looking forwards to see what profile you went with.

@Ophidian

Not permanently out! Heavens, no! I've been working on my character for hours (mostly just looking for pictures and names, but yeah) and I'm REALLY looking forward to this and enjoying the OOC. Remind me to watch my use of the phrase "I'm out" from now on.

@Ophidian

I got a feeling he meant something more like he's staying out of whatever just happened, you know the whole deal with the spoilers. He's Switzerland meaning he's neutral.

Edit: Ah, he explained just before I posted.

[Specter189]

Apologies for the mess here folks, this old man tends to ramble on about things carelessly, especially when brainstorming a character on the backburner.

Tell me, what's the most difficult part of character creation for you guys? Mine is coming up with a name.

@Specter189

Name, name, NAME. I spend an hour or so looking for pictures, but it's really the name where I get stuck. I want something with meaning, but I always hesitate, and then I find something with a good meaning and then I say it aloud and it's horrible and just... ugh.

@Specter189

Writing out the personality is the hardest for me with history in a close second. I know how I want my characters to act in my head, but no matter how I put it down on paper, it never feels right and I worry that I'll fuck it up and people will misinterpret >.>

History is second since I have trouble coming up with an idea but once I have one its not too hard ^^

As for names, use name generators or like the one Ophidian provided, baby name lists or google translate and find words with meaning behind them; Akio's last name actually translates to "Silver Heart" so it kinda fits in a way. Sometimes I just make shit up if it sounds close enough tho xD

@Section

Full disclosure, if you go into the context and myths behind my characters name, it could mean something like "The jealous castrater".

So naturally, I made him a violent merc.
