I feel like I won't get around to playing my other character much. >.<

Sakura

Her expectations had never been to instantly manage to motivate the student body as her ultimate goal was, but judging from the responses in the crowd, she had done more damage than good right now. Either way, she could be somewhat content. Her little speech had been effective on two fronts. First off it had made her more well known among the students, if she truly wanted to have an effect on people, they needed to know who she was, what she stood for and how far she was willing to go for it. On the other hand, it had created conflict. While it wasn't exactly Sakura's preferred method, conflict meant movement. By creating conflict, she wouldn't allow anyone to sink away into a depression or take their lives for granted, they had to work and build aspiration and ambition. If they couldn't handle her in Yamaku, then they would get eaten alive in the real world after graduation.

From the corner of her eyes, she spotted a girl cringing and collapsing onto her knees, seemingly on the verge of tears from the looks of it. While her expression betrayed nothing, regarding the girl with cold detachment, she did feel sorry for the girl at her core. However it was a necessary transition that she was supposed to face. Sakura's methods were harsh and uncompromising, girls like these would no doubt be caught in the middle of it had have it the roughest, but Sakura was certain that they would emerge stronger in the end. That was what this school was all about, wasn't it?

She gave Kenshi a small frown, not entirely appreciating his tone of voice. However, she couldn't help the corners of her lips being pulled upwards slightly in a small, mischievous smile. Contrary to what Kenshi might have meant, crazy was hardly an insult to Sakura. In fact, she regarded it as a compliment.
"I do try my best, chairman."
She responded almost teasingly, allowing him to take the stage directly after her.

With her arms crossed over her chest, just underneath her bust, she took it upon herself to scan the crowd as Kenshi added in his own two cents on the changes they were planning to make. As far as she was concerned, Kenshi seemed to want to instill just a little too much fear into the students than was necessary, but she was willing to grant him the freedom to do as he wanted to enforce the school rules for now. The rules were his concern, the spirit and soul of the school were hers. As long as he didn't try to outshine or even overthrow her, his fearsome demeanor could prove useful against anyone who wanted to oppose her directly.

As fortune would have it, such a challenge came only seconds after the chairman had stopped talking.

The president had been keeping an eye out among the crowd for a while now, trying to gauge the mood of the students during the speeches. Her eyes narrowed as she picked up a girl waving towards her, obviously intent on getting her attention. Once the girl had made sure Sakura was looking, she ostentatiously dropped a ball of paper onto the ground. How extremely petty. It was all Sakura could do to keep herself from groaning out in annoyance at the random act of defiance simply for the sake of defiance.

"Chairm-..."
She started out, almost beckoning Kenshi towards the perpetrator, though changed her mind as an expressionless male student seemed to fix the situation for her. Trying to keep the delinquent's gaze, she simply stood her ground, a wide, victorious smile forming on her lips while giving a grateful nod towards the male student. She'd already won the first challenge to her authority, and she didn't even have to lift a finger to do so.

"It seems some of you at least know proper conduct."

Sakura is pretty intense. She said every student needed to participate, she didn't say how though. There's a lot more to the sports festival than the actual sports themselves... Of course, you can always choose to defy Sakura as well... :3

There we go with the first IC post!
Sakura is now Hitler.

Sakura

A gentle breeze lifted the pink petals up through the air, engaging them in a somewhat odd, if not hypnotic dance. It was only fitting, with the start of he new semester only a few days ago, nature joined in on the renewal. The cherry blossoms had always been a symbol of a fresh start and new chances, which was exactly what Yamaku was meant to represent for its students. Much like those blossoms to which Sakura owed her name, she would be a symbol for the students to draw their strength from. She herself had always fully embraced all the chances life threw at her, she would motivate the remainder of the student body to do the same, show them that despite their disabilities, they were far from useless.

She carelessly flicked a stray strand of her long hair out of her face, a determined frown appearing on her face. Classes were over for today, but that hardly meant that there was no more work left, and she wasn't thinking about homework. Looking up and down the walkway leading to the school, she spotted several students already going about their way to go to their respective clubs and activities. Every once in a while, she received a nod from a passing student who recognized her, earning a nod in return from her.

While Yamaku was less stoked in tradition and discipline than most other Japanese schools, it still maintained a set of strict rules, its particular nature enforcing some more than others. As student council president, she had already given a small speech at the start of the year, but judging from the lack of enthusiasm that she had hoped to see among the students, it hadn't sunk in as well as she would have hoped. This called for more effort on her part.

With a single snap of her fingers, one of the student council members planted down a small box in front of her, promptly handing her over a megaphone. Getting the megaphone had required some creativity and a little bending of the school rules. It was doubtful that the track team really needed it right now, let alone that they minded her borrowing it if they didn't want to see their funding receive a very serious cut.

The thought that her skirt might just be slightly too short for her to stand on the box only very briefly crossed her mind once she ascended on top of it, quickly passing as she stood upright. While there was a speaker system to use throughout the school, Sakura preferred a more personal approach at the moment. The students were supposed to see her face and recognize her, it would only add to the effect of inspiration.

"Students of Yamaku!"
Sakura's voice resounded through the megaphone, most likely taking more than a few students off guard, but catching the attention of most of the school nonetheless. Her voice was naturally loud, and now she was even shouting into the megaphone, enough to make people cringe lightly at the volume.
"This is your president! Know this, you only live once! Your high school career shapes what kind of a person you will be for he remainder of the lives you have left! Will you let that go to waste?! Live life to your fullest, and do not hesitate or regret! Show the world what you're made of and leave them all stunned!"
She paused for a moment, sweeping her gaze through the crowd now that she had gotten their attention, as well as catching her breath from the shouting.

"Several changes will be made here, I assure you! I will not tolerate anyone slacking off or anyone showing signs of mediocrity! Anyone without the will to fight should just lie down and die! As such, I will impose a new set of rules! First off, I will double the detention for anyone who dares to falter in making their homework, furthermore, participation in the upcoming sports festival is now mandatory for any student unwilling to face the consequences! That will be all for now, and remember, life is for the living!"
She finished off her speech with a fist pump in the air, showing her determination. It had turned out to be a very mediocre speech, but it had all been improvised by her on the spot. No doubt she had made several enemies among the students with her new rules, but even animosity could be a source of energy and inspiration for those people. Sometimes, what someone needed to push forwards, was a force pushing back against them.

"How was that?" She asked as she hopped off the improvised stand and tossed the megaphone back towards the student that handed it to her.

Work kind of did a number on me today, I did manage to finish the sheet for the student council president though, which will make Gm'ing a lot easier and feel at least a little less forced.
Anyway, I'll have the first IC post up by tomorrow, promise!

@RomanAria
Alright that's better.

@liferusher
Accepted!

@Ether
Sorry, missed it earlier. It'd take place not too long (a week or two, three) after the start of the year, so in spring.

@ClocktowerEchos
You can go ahead and make your character disciplinary chairman if you like!

Katawa Shoujo RP (school for disabled students)

Appearance:

Name/nickname: Sakura Tasabara
Gender: Female
Grade (1st/2nd/3rd year) + age: 2nd year, 16 years.
Disability: Epilepsy.

Personality: Sakura is very energetic, maybe even extremely so. She's willing to face any challenge life dares to throw at her, desiring to overcome it again and again. Her ambitions know few limits, as it is her desire to become the best at whatever she sets her mind to. Most of all, more than being disciplined or following school rules, she values motivation, no matter what the goal of that motivation is. Using any means necessary, she wishes to whip the students of Yamaku into shape and get out of their depressions and lifelessness. To Sakura, the most beautiful thing a person can posses is aspiration and ambition, no matter in which form.

In addition to that, she is a strange mixture of optimistic, perfectionistic and caring. She's used to wielding authority, and will not be afraid to (ab)use it. Her temper is something to be feared as well, as she will not hesitate to raise her voice or even used force when pushed over the edge. She uses people in her plans, unafraid to boss them around when needed. She's relentless and tenacious, which shows in both her academical and athletic abilities.
Background:
As the sole daughter of a somewhat more wealthy family, Sakura had nearly everything she wanted. As such, her youth was somewhat uneventful. The only regret she had in her youth, was never seeing her father much, who always focused on his career rather than his family. This left Sakura without a proper father figure in her youth. To this end, she always acted more dominant than most other females, even described boy'ish when she was young and in kindergarden.

It was around this time that her condition began to show its signs. From muscles behaving erratically to convulsions and collapsing, she was quickly diagnosed with epilepsy. She was able to continue with her normal life for the most part, as long as she took her medication regularly. Not even once did she let her disability get her down, ever the energetic and playful person that she was.

At the end of elementary, her life was drastically influenced by the sudden death of her father in a company accident. From her mother, she learned that her father had always been working himself to near death in order to give Sakura all the chances she would need in life, knowing that she had the talent to become whatever she put her mind to. Despite Sakura not agreeing with his sacrifice, she would not let it be in vain, vowing to live her life to the fullest in his name.

Following that however, Sakura's condition worsened, the medication had less effect and her convulsions returned. Her mother decided that it was best if Sakura continued her education under closer supervision of medical staff, who would be able to deal with Sakura if she was under the effects of another epileptic seizure.

Recently, Sakura managed to win the elections to become Yamaku's new student council president, as well as being class representative. Her outstanding grades, energetic charm, authority and impressive athletic abilities made it easy for her to convince the student body to vote for her. She's willingly taken on this role and instantly attempted to use it to the best of her abilities, seeing plenty wrong with Yamaku as it is now. With such a rigid and vigilant care for the disabled students though, she found it hard to make any drastic changes.

Nonetheless, she does her best to motivate the students of Yamaku into living their lives to their fullest as she does, stirring up their feelings for upcoming events, holding speeches before class or going so far as to make unannounced visits to clubs and classes for inspection or even submitting them to tests to prove their dedication or creativity in extreme situations. This has given her a mixed reputation, from feared and admired among the students to a nuisance and an example among the teachers.

Additional Info:
- Sakura often speaks in a very loud voice, not only to flaunt her authority, but also to reach the students with bad hearing easily (or so she claims).

Alright, I made it so that Aimi only skipped two years. XD

@RomanAria

What I actually meant was that she's a little too young >.<. If you look at my characters, he's 18, which is a huuuge difference at those ages.

@Ether
Looks good! Accepted!

@Kuroneko
