I think we have plenty of people to start this up :) unless you were planning to have a huge group?

I'd guessed that as well but I would like to be certain. Don't want to look the fool you know?
I was guessing feudal too, but you're right. Our GM wasn't too specific on that :P
Nicole nervously pushed a loose strand of blonde hair behind her ear. This place was filling up fast, and she had no idea where to start. She pulled out her wallet and peered down at the measly contents wondering if she even had enough to buy a drink. She figured her best place to start practicing her conversation skills would be with the bartenders, even if she was only asking about drink prices. It'll be like talking about the weather, right? she thought sarcastically. Geez, why am I so freaked out? Nicole slowly crossed the room to the bar and subconsciously picked a seat far from everyone else. As she waited to be served, she took the time to examine the other guests.
There were a couple of girls chatting not too far away. One of them stood out to her in particular. She was very pink, and Nicole wondered if she was even old enough to be here. Although the same could be said for me, she corrected herself. She didn't really look her age either and was often mistaken for a high school student. Continuing her survey of faces, the saw that the other girl in the conversation was a curly haired brunette. She saw another brunette who was also very striking. Nicole imagined her to be the kind of girl that everyone flocks to. A popular person. Moving down the line, she also saw a guy sitting by himself, drinking a lemonade. She considered talking to him, but decided she would rather start with a girl before approaching the other gender. Among everyone she'd seen so far, no one else was wearing a red glow stick. Well, that's awkward. She hoped she wasn't the only one. Next she saw a girl with very blue hair standing by herself. Maybe she would be willing to chat.
Nicole steeled herself and walked over to the blue-haired girl. "Hey," she started, then paused. Oh crap, I really didn't plan this out. What else do you say to start a conversation? She cleared her throat to cover up the awkward silence. "So, do you come here often?" Stupid, stupid, stupid! "I mean... I'm new here and I don't really know how places like this work."
Ji Min sipped at the lemonade and looked around at the other guests for someone to start up a conversation with. A lot of the girls here were really pretty, he noticed wondering if he had a chance with any of them. His eyes lingered on a brunette girl drinking a coffee. She looked disturbingly familiar, but he couldn't place who she was exactly. Most likely, she was another student at his school, and if that was the case, he should probably avoid her. He angled himself in his chair so she couldn't see his face and hoped that she wouldn't recognize him.

Nicole stepped out of the passenger-side door of Emily's car. She fidgeted nervously with her long, loose white tank top and glanced at her friend. Emily, who could read her like a book, smirked knowingly and grabbed Nicole's hand, dragging her towards the door. Nicole was beginning to have second thoughts about coming here. What if she made a fool of herself in front of the guys? It was bound to happen at some point. She was such a klutz.
"ID, please," a voice said in a deep baritone. Nicole was jerked from her thoughts. She looked up to see a huge bouncer at the door who was staring back down at her. It took a moment for her to register what he said, like a lagging computer. Emily elbowed her in the ribs, signaling for her to hurry up.
Oh, right, my ID. She fumbled with her purse for her driver's license to verify her age. She showed it to the bouncer and he examined it for a second before waving her on. He did the same for Emily. Nicole stepped past the giant bouncer man, then paused at a table that was covered with glow sticks of four different colors.
"Those are for the visitors to wear," Emily piped up, reading her mind again. "I heard about them from Josh. He said green is for singles, red is for people in relationships, and yellow is to say 'it's complicated'. The blue ones..." she paused. "Oh right, he said those are for LGBTs. The reason for the glow sticks is supposedly so guys know who they're allowed to flirt with." She grabbed a green glow stick and put it on.
"I'm going on ahead. You came here to meet new people right? Well I'm gonna do that too. Shoot me a text if you get into trouble. See ya!" Emily winked and trotted inside, perfectly comfortable with entering a new place by herself. Nicole looked back down at the glow sticks. She began to reach for a green one, then hesitated and glanced up to make sure Emily was gone. She didn't want to have to explain her next action to her friend. When she was sure Emily was out of sight, Nicole grabbed a red glow stick and slipped it on her wrist. She took a deep breath and strode inside.
Ryu Ji Min turned off his car engine and hopped out of the vehicle. He was in high spirits after discovering Mingle. He finally had a chance to rebuild his train wreck of a life and meet people that weren't under the influence of that stupid rumor. He squared his shoulders and walked up to the bouncer at the door, flashing his student ID. Seeing that he was a minor, the bouncer drew a stamp from his pocket.
"Hold out your hand," he instructed. Ji Min complied, offering up his wrist to be stamped with a smile. He moved past the bouncer to a table covered in glow sticks then paused, racking his brain to remember which was which. Green was single, right? He cast a glance back at the bouncer and wondered if he should ask, then decided against it. He grabbed a green glow stick and put it on.
Ji Min was a little surprised to find the place mostly empty. After everything he heard about it, he expected it to be bustling with activity. He reached up and adjusted his fedora as he crossed the room to the bar. A bartender moved to meet him as he sat down.
"What'll it be?" she asked, offering him a friendly grin. Ji Min remembered that the girls from school had said it was a juice bar. He supposed he could ask for a coffee, but his sweet tooth got the better of him.
"A strawberry lemonade, please," he replied in a subtly accented voice, smiling back at the bartender. It was one of his favorite drinks in America. She nodded and walked away. Ji Min turned around in his seat to look around the bar. Despite the desolate exterior, it was a pretty nice place on the inside.
Things are definitely looking up for me.

Hooray, this will be fun :P
Know what, go for it lol I think that would be an interesting twist
Maybe. That would make for an interesting story if she already knew about him/started the rumor.
Yoshi: Yeah, he goes to a private school. I didn't add it in my CS, but his dad's job pays generously so I guess you could call it a "rich kid school" lol
Name: Ryu Ji Min (Ji Min could be considered his "first name" and Ryu, his "last name")
Nickname: Ji
Age: 17
Bio: Ryu Ji Min was born in Seoul, South Korea. He lived there until he turned 15, when his father's job took the family to America. At first, Ji Min thought that his life was over. He left everything behind: his friends, other relatives, and even his first girlfriend Goo Sun Yung. He became reclusive and aloof at his new American high school. It wasn't because he couldn't speak English (he was very fluent apart from his slight accent), but rather because he was depressed.
The next year, when Ji Min was 16, he decided that sulking was doing him no good, and he needed to start building his life in his new country. He started attempting to talk to his fellow classmates at school, but for some reason they all seemed to avoid him. He was thoroughly confused by this at first. What was he doing wrong? But after doing some investigating, he discovered that someone had spread a nasty rumor last year that he was a delinquent who was kicked out of Seoul, and that was why he didn't talk to anyone. Now the others were afraid of him. Ji Min tried to ignore the rumor and make friends anyway, but it was too late. The rumor had been spiraling for so long, that it became concrete it the other students' minds.
A year of this shunning went by, and Ji Min finally gave up trying to make friends at his school. However, one day his luck finally changed. He was sitting at his desk, reading a book and waiting for class to start when he overheard a conversation behind him. A few girls were discussing something called "Mingle". It sounded like some kind of hangout. Suddenly interested, Ji Min eavesdropped on them. He learned that it was a juice bar where teenagers and young adults go to socialize. Maybe there, he could finally start building a life in America and make some friends. It sounded perfect.

Here's CS number one. I'll add a guy character in a bit
Name: Nicole Beverly
Nickname: Nikki
Age: 21
Bio: Nicole has always been shy around strangers. She hates it. She strongly envies the popular girls who can just start up a conversation with anyone they meet. Whenever she tries, she just gets tongue-tied! It doesn't help that her twin sister, Grace, is one of the aforementioned popular, chatty girls. In school Nicole is constantly reminded of how much cooler her sister is because cute guys (and I mean cute!) are always getting them mixed up. As soon as they figure out they're flirting with the wrong sister, they back off like she's the plague. As a result, Nicole has never had a boyfriend. Even when they moved on to college (they went to the same place), the mix ups continued.
Nicole was just giving in to the fact that she was doomed to be invisible to boys, when her friend and roommate Emily told her about Mingle. At first, she quickly forgot about it... until she met Andrew. He was a very handsome 22 year old that transferred into her math class, and like all the other men in her life, he has no idea that she exists. Nicole went back to her dorm depressed that she had no chance with him. When she got back, she saw that Emily was leaving. Upon asking, Emily told her that she was going to try out that bar, Mingle, and asked if Nicole wanted to join her. That was when Nicole realized that maybe Mingle could be her way of practicing her people-skills.
Why did your character want to come to this bar?:
Nicole came to the bar to work on becoming a more outgoing person and maybe... you know.. meet somebody...
What color glow stick will they wear:
After careful planning, Nicole decides to wear the Red glow stick. She is not actually in a relationship, but she doesn't want other guys flirting with her while she's trying to win over Andrew.
