Name: Kinzo Sanada

Age: 17

Appearance:

A slender, young man with a slightly toned build due to the many physical activities used to participate in. His frame, although thin, can be described as lithe but sturdy. His hair is of medium length, stark under normal lighting conditions but glows a soft golden-brown if presented under the radiance of the sun. The tone of his skin is slightly tan, just a step or two darker than fair. His eyes are pools of chocolate; dark and piercing but warm and comforting. The most defining characteristic about Kinzo Sanada is his smile - slightly crooked, but in a charming, unique manner.

Personality: Charismatic and sociable, Kinzo is an optimistic individual who's not afraid to speak his mind. He's well mannered and understanding, as his public self seems to radiate a certain charm. He tends to get along easily with people, as he puts himself out there and is usually the first one to introduce himself. He's the type of person that accepts everyone equally as he is not a person that judges. His cheerful personality is not over the top, but rather refreshing and genuine. As a private individual, however, Kinzo Sanada is selfish and stubborn. Everything has to be his way, though he hides these hidden desires pretty well. If angered to the point where these values may become vulnerable, he usually becomes silent, distant, and aloof. Light, gentle, respectable and understanding are keywords to describing his refreshing character.

Occupation at the Bakery: Cashier

History: A 3rd Year at Fukushima High, Kinzo is one of the paired children to the Sanada family. He is the eldest brother, with his younger sibling being 6 years old. Although there's over a ten-year gap between the two, the Sanada brothers are quite close. He was an athlete in middle school and during his first year of high school, but retired from club activities during his second year as he thought he should focus more on schooling. Regardless, he still remains active during his free time.

When Kinzo was younger, he was quite the trouble-maker, an almost direct opposite of who he is today. This was due to the absence of his parents during his childhood - though the three of them loved each other just as much as any other ordinary family, they were stuck in a financial crisis that resulted in his parents having to work throughout the days and nights. Though this little rough patch did indeed influence Kinto's bad behavior, at the same time, he understood what his parents were going through. He respected them and loved them, knowing that they were working for his sake. With this in mind, Kevin began to mature at a faster rate than most kids his age, leaving his restless self behind and grew into the kind-hearted individual he is today. By the time Kento, the Sanada's youngest son, was born, the family had established a stable, middle-class income with his dad becoming a corporate worker for a big company and his mom finally being able to leave her position at a grocery store to do what she wanted as a stay-at-home mother. Currently, the family is trying their best to support their simple lifestyle so that Kento could grow up without anymore hardships.

Destinyfailhorror17 [+]

Name: Koruku "Kuro" Kiske
Age: 18
Appearance:

About 5”5 height and 128lb, a bit on the skinny side. (Eyes supposed to be gold but I didn't have gold colored pencil)

Personality: Kuro is sort of a confused teen, since he had a hard life, he had developed a sort of moody attitude. He desperately hates any mention about the past. Silent, blunt, lonely…He believes that his only friend in pet mouse Nezu and doesn't like to interact with people or even interact with humanity. He maybe considered as a tsundere but only when his guard his lowered. He tries to avoid human contact but if ever he has too, he never looks at them at the eye and says at least one word. He personally likes to use the rude and informal Japanese pronoun "teme" because he feels like he would get annoyed with them. He doesn't like it when people talk about his short height either. But if in some way, he can really trust someone he maybe consider them a great companion. Odd thing though when baking he becomes another person, he is active and talks to people. He loves to bake cheese related things, as he loves his pet mouse. Nezu is always at his right shoulder.

Occupation in the Bakery: Baker

History: Kuro had a really hard life, he was left at the orphanage at three, and an abusive family then adopted him. His life went a couple of directions the wrong way. He grew scared and feared people where only thing he could really talk to is the mouse and rats that were at his room (closet). By the age of nine he had to do most of the work in the house, clean and cook. That where he discovered his love for baking, it had made him smile for a while and very much enjoyed it. For those short moments he never felt sad. His school studies went also different directions, due to the abusiveness of his ‘family’ he sometimes passed and failed some grades. At school he was bullied for talking to mice and rats which decreased his faith in humanity and people.

At first year high school he was held back twice so now he is at second year at eighteen. He ran away from the family at seventeen, Luckily he stole quite a bit of cash before leaving, he did multiple part time jobs to sustain his lifestyle. He got a small…very small apartment where he and his pet mouse Nezu lived peacefully. In recent times, he had been fired from a couple of part time jobs because of his attitude, he decided to look for a baking part time job to get by. Luckily there was one that was hiring, “Le Pasteur”. He decided to take the job as a baker; who knows? Maybe he might have faith in humanity again.

BlackWolf [+]

Name: Yuudai Kaito
Age:18
Appearance:

Personality: Sarcastic, rude crude and generally just socially unacceptable. Well that is what everyone thinks of him at least. Yuu is head strong and strong willed, and never backs down from a fight. Though that is just the surface of the Biker punk and mostly the only thing people ever see when they look at him. Though in truth he likes it that way. People tend to not bother you when they are slightly afraid of you as people seem to think he is in some form of gang(which he isn't, well not anymore) which leaves him to do as he pleases. Though the one thing he loves more then anything else, is baking and cooking. He loves to feed people more then anything else, though he would never admit it he is never happier then when he sees some one enjoying his food.

Occupation at the Bakery: Baker

History: Yuu had a troubled history, he has no memories of his father as the man left him and his mother when he was a still a baby. To his mother he seemed to be more a bother then a son. She would often go out and party all night leaving the young child to fend for him self for food, that was if they had more then just booze in there tiny apartment. Since that didn't happen to often he would go hungry most nights, or end up wandering the streets begging for money to by food and if that didn't work he would just steal it. Though he started to grow accustomed to this style of life as he grew older he was getting rather good at petty thievery and he was even starting to catch the attention of a street gang, promises of a family and protection. How could he refuse?

Into his early teens he was running with the gang, and not exactly living the most legal of lifestyles but he was getting by. He moved out of his apartment with his mother, and it didn't even seem as if she noticed and if she did it didn't appear that she cared that her 8 year old son had left. Though the deeper he got in the worse things he had to do as he was slowly descending closer to the point of no return. This went on for years as he grew older and further into his career as a criminal. Though at 15 his life would change.

One night during a house robbery something went wrong, the old man was home even though he was supposed to be out on a trip. During the panic Yuu got left behind as the old man found him. He though for sure he would be going to prison, but instead that old man offered him a deal. If Yuu would work for him he wouldn't call the cops and he could repay for all the stolen items. Yuu agreed. He learned that the old man was more then just some old codger, but was a world renowned chief, Katashi Ken'ichi, and while working for him he learned a lot. How to fix things, how to work on various appliances and even after a while the man taught him how to cook. This was the first time in his life that he had ever had any form of parental figure.

Katashi made Yuu study hard, so that he could take and pass the test required to go to highschool, since he ditched school years ago. To Yuu's own surprise he passed and was enrolled in Fukushima High School. Though as the years went on Katashi's health was failing, the old man near the end of his life, Yuu was devastated to lose the only parent he had ever known, but at the same time glad that he even had these few years, even more surprising was that he learned that Katashi had left everything to him. Never having any real children Yuu was the closest thing he had to a son. So on his death Yuu inherited everything, though the man was not overly wealthy he was still a rich man and put everything into an account that would mature when Yuu turned 25. The house though was taken, Yuu had to live by his own means. So he got a job at a near by bakery, where he could learn more about baking, he got a small apartment and went to school.

Marx [+]

Name:
Akira Kurase

Age:
21

Appearance:

6'2'' with blonde hair and bright green eyes, he is an anomaly in most of Japan. Especially when perfect Japanese spills out of his mouth. His mother is Swedish while his father is a native Japanese from Okinawa. He tends to dress professionally, even in the summer heat.

Personality:
Outside he is kind and warm, in this kitchen he is a fierce and unforgiving. Kurase is known to be incredibly fierce in the kitchen that he runs, not tolerating any failures from his staff. Outside of work he is calm and typically cheerful, without any sense of anger. He was raised to keep his cool and always have a level head, though in the kitchen it is a little less obvious. When working at his restaurant, which he is at two hours before opening and three hours after closing six days a week, he is blunt, sharp, and incredibly quick. That being said, he holds his friends dearly and will always ensure that his employees are doing well, both at and outside of work.

Occupation at the Bakery:
Head chef and owner of the restaurant Kurase that neighbors the bakery.

History:
Born to a reasonably wealthy family, Akira rarely had to worry about where his next meal would come from or if he could afford doing something that he really wanted to do. Most children would grow complacent with their lifestyle, though Akira always had a certain drive. In school he quickly climbed the ladder, reaching the top of his class through a tremendous amount of studying. His maintained his high marks through his entire academic career, going off to university with exceptionally high marks. His family assumed he'd go on to do something great. Perhaps become a doctor like his mother or a financial adviser like his mother or even take his own path. What he did was exactly that. He took his own path, just not what anyone was expecting.

Kurase lasted three months in university before he dropped out, took what money his parents gave him for schooling and opened a restaurant in a neighboring city, only informing his family well after he had opened up his restaurant. It was in Fukushima that Akira intended to create his legacy, a single restaurant bearing his name. One that would rival the greats of Japan, no matter what it took! From the time Akira left university to today, he has spent countless hours honing his craft, dead set on becoming a restaurant that will be known across Japan.

Liriia [+]

Name:
Megumi Kitabatake

Age:
17

Appearance:

Megumi is tall for her age, to say the least. Tall and fit and maybe a bit intimidating. Her skin is somewhat pale, contrasting well with her black hair and eyes, and she always seems to have a look of disdain. Her face is angular, with thin lips and a small, rounded nose. Her eyes are narrow and seem to be dark brown or black, and it is no wonder why others are so frightened by her gaze as they are somewhat scary. Normally seen in a plain sailor fuku when out on the town, but when Megumi is home she is forced into kimonos and training gear (on mother's order).

Personality:
At first glance Megumi appears to be a very intimidating and dangerous person, with her angular eyes and tallness and soft-spoken manner, but if one would get to know her they may realize that Megumi is just an extremely timid and kind girl. Very polite, she will not speak out of turn, follows directions well, and tries her best to please others despite them being frightened by her glares. A hard worker, Megumi loves to help others and does her best to finish the tasks she was given no matter what, which also shows that she is extremely stubborn. Due to living and training in a dojo, Megumi is obviously very strong and knowledgeable in the way of martial arts and kendo, but for some reason is rather uncomfortable around men. This was probably brought on because her mother's dojo is strictly females-only, and having her mom speak so badly about her good for nothing father didn't help much. So if she is around a man she will became much more quiet and stiff, maybe even a bit defensive, but she won't out right attack or run away unless she is given a good enough reason. It is very hard to upset Megumi, but when you do it is obvious. She will gain an aura of malice, refuse to speak, and maybe even resort to violence, ranging from petty slaps to oh-my-god-where-did-she-get-that-sword. Megumi has gotten into pretty vicious fights because of her angry streak, which of course gave her a bad name around the school.

And if Megumi is anything else besides all that, it would be kind. She is extremely kind and nice, despite how everyone else treats her, and it shows especially when she is around cute things like animals and children. There was once a rumor in school, something about her taking out three delinquents who were abusing a stray dog, though of course it got warped into something else entirely in the end. The words "Gentle Giant" are probably the best to describe someone like Megumi.

Occupation at the Bakery: She's a general hand, much like Kiku she does whatever whenever.

History:
Born into a family dojo, from a young age Megumi was taught martial arts and kendo. Her father, a good-for-nothing scumbag, left a few days after she was born, and her mother (Kasumi) was obviously upset by the whole ordeal (and eventually began to detest all men, even resorting to turning the dojo into a female-only one). She didn't however, run after the stupid man, and instead took over the dojo and raised Megumi herself. Kasumi was a strict mother and an even stricter teacher, often resorting to yelling or hitting after just a few second of disobedience, but Megumi didn't mind. She knew that if she was in the wrong then she was in the wrong, and with that mindset she grew up quickly into a mature young woman. At the age of twelve she was already helping her mother teach self-defense classes, and became well known around the dojo as "Little Miss".

School during that time was simple, and she had plenty of friends, but that quickly changed once she caught some kids bullying a defenseless stray dog. In a sudden fit of anger, she sprung, and eventually the three young boys were all crying and apologizing, covered with bruises from her rough handling. Megumi too was harboring a bloody nose and black eye, but she was too angry to stop and it took two teachers to wrench her away from the other children. That was when the rumors started. Rumors turning from "protecting a dog" to "just for fun" and so on, and Megumi's social life plummeted. Friends left, people pulled from the dojo, and her mother had trouble believing that she started a fight over some ratty dog. She became much more quiet, timid, and remained that way all through junior high to high school.

Megumi eventually became known as a delinquent around school, and rumors flew like paper airplanes, but she had managed to build up a tolerance against the scared stares and murmurs whenever she walked into a room. She was better, but her mother's dojo wasn't doing so well. They barely got any students, and funds were falling. Megumi felt herself responsible, so after a while of thinking she decided to go out and find a job to help out, eventually coming to a rather quaint bakery looking for workers. She applied in a heart beat.

Major Ursa [+]

Name: Sakaki Watanabe

Age: 25

Appearance:
Good looking guy, six foot something.Squints quite a few times during the day (he does know it's not great for the eyes), he loaths his old contacts and isn't so hot on wearing glasses...except for a quick inspection before breaks and before the end of the day at closing up, he needs glasses to make sure everything is pristine.

Personality: There isn’t much to say about…well, him being a laid back sort of man-child air head would be a start, being kind and cool with a lot of things. Seems like his patience in bottomless. He follows his heart in all aspects of life, and despite having a possible future as a sole heir to an important business; he decided to become a baker due to his love of sweets. Unfortunately, being trained in only business and organizational skills since birth (practically when he was in diapers), his short training in baking turned out horrific…but he didn’t mind much when he ended up as custodian, he’s surprisingly good at this job, keeping this neat and sparkly. He is honestly just happy working at something close to what he loves. Well, his custodian skills may stem from his organizational skills, as well as this need of his to keep tidy. He is highly aggressive and intimidating when in business mode, almost like a member of the Yakuza.

Occupation at the Bakery: Custodian

History: Ever since he was a child, he had been raised to eventually work in and inherit his father’s business, the heir to continue making millions to trillions for the family. He was tutored in business and economics, studied it in his spare time. Food and drink…they were prepared for maximum amount of nutrients and a precise amount of calories for what he needed to grow. Play wasn’t necessary, friends weren’t necessary. He’d just live the life planned out for him with a silver spoon in his mouth, his estate taken care of by maids and servants, his fiancé arranged for him from another wealthy family.

It was age 23 that that incident happened that changed his life forever. Cancelling and rescheduling a lunch meeting with another company after his limo broke down; he decided to step into a small bakery for a quick bite while another limo would be driven to him…even though he believed such food was beneath him at the time, he had spent all night and all morning fixing a mistake done by an accountant, and thus needed sustenance soon or else might lose strength and focus. This was a life changing experience! THE TIRAMISU OF DESTINY!

Ordering a slice of freshly prepared cake that looked presentable enough, taking a cheap plastic fork and slowly taking a portion into his mouth…! It was like the world was colourless before! Like there hadn’t been a sunrise, a moon never full and beautiful…till now! Fluffy, chocolately, light cocoa, and…! The rest of his life, he spent never looking back. That day, he bought all the tiramisu on sale, then one of each of the rest, then all of the rest, then tried to force people he knew to try some.

That was 2 years ago, he now lives in a small apartment on his own, and works at the bakery (not the one he had initially gone to, since the owner closed up shop on their own terms). Every other weekend or so, his father personally comes over to grovel and beg him to reconsider his life choices…and then they have cake.
