Awesome, heard Japan is beautiful at this time of the year! (or well, all year round :P )
I'm from central Europe, Croatia, across from Italy. So we're around 7 hours apart if I remember correctly :D
@Genkai
Thanks for the banner, it's great! :) I'm fine with rounds personally and will be posting tomorrow after (or during, probably during) work, so in 10 hours.

My timezone is EST, I'm from Croatia
Appearance:
Personality:
- Emphatic - Spontaneous - Vibrant - Rebellious -
Name:
- Eli -
Age:
- 25 -
Origin:
- Eli grew up in a modest town, not too small, yet not too big either; a community always bustling with activity, with spirited young people and a plethora of activities and festivals to enjoy. Indeed, the culture surrounding the town of Acrine was a highly festive one, with people all around the island often visiting to take part in one of the various festivities. It was a town with a little something for everyone. Such culture did a lot to influence Eli to become the spontaneous, vigorous person that he is today, but his family had also taught him to be caring and kind to those in need. And having a three years younger sister to take care of, Eli taught himself how to be unforgiving to any bullies. And wooers alike. He was the big brother after all.
Eli learned first hand what it means to take care for someone and with his parents being researchers that travelled around the world - he had to learn some of the essentials, especially the fine art of cooking.
When he was ready, and old enough, they left the care of his sister to him, trusting that he would know how to be the patriarch of their household. He had no resentment for them going away to work, as they were providing for the two of them and kept in contact. Besides, he was taught from early age that people should follow their dreams and do what they love. Even if it means that sometimes it is against what the majority is doing.
Around that time, Eli met a group of boys his age, soon finding out that true friendship is indeed an irreplaceable gift. They were a bit of rascals, doing things their own way. Having to run away from bigger kids or authorities (Eli: "only those two times!") led towards Eli becoming a skilled acrobat, combining stunning feats combined with a great stamina. As the years had passed, and they became more mature, Eli took the role of a leader of their little group. He didn't want to nor taught that he is the right person for the job, but the others were too hotheaded for their own good sometimes. He was the calmest of them. And was always rallying his friends not to give up on their dreams, without losing that signature smile on his face. Never once showing a sign of resignation.
In hindsight, his sister and his friends made him the person that he is today. The love he has for them sometimes so fierce that he would go against the status quo just for their sake. -
Life:
- There is little that Eli refuses to do, especially if it helps other people. Since he was quite an athlete in his hometown, Eli loved providing carrier services to the townsfolk. It was much easier for him to deliver something than an old grandma or grandpa. He felt their struggle and was obliged to help. Something from within had tugged him to do it. Besides, being able to run around town, jumping over obstacles and testing himself to reach one side of the town faster each time, without being on the wrong side of the authorities - it was amazing. The rush of adrenaline and the feeling of fresh air in his lungs was always a joy.
When he was not running, he had plenty of time to sit down and have a hearty meal with his friends; often drinking, eating and hanging out 'till late in the night, dreaming of the future and all the potential that they have in them. Who knows what the future holds for them. They didn't, but it didn't stop them from dreaming. -
Talents:
- Keen Reflexes -
- Calming People Down -
- Cooking -
- Acrobatics -
Flaws:
- Over-analyses situations (sometimes introvertly, mostly out loud) -
- Afraid of the sea (or what lurks within) -
Combat:
- Ah, yes - fighting. The pinnacle of what makes a person, the stepping stone to adulthood, the centre of all that is and will be. Eli clearly remembers the time he singlehandedly repelled ten thugs from a young boy in trouble. It was a showcase of skill, finesse and elegance as he danced around the narrow street, knocking them out one after one. All fifteen of them were no match to the grea-
Such and similar stories became a mainstay around Eli's friends. As Eli was never much of a fighter, nor wished to provoke anyone, his friends had instead began teasing him by retelling all of his peaceful outcomes into epic stories of battle, pride and testosterone.
In reality, Eli never had much use from fighting, there were a couple of tense situations in his childhood when one of his more hot-headed friends provoked the other group of, more often than not, older kids. They had a few true altercations, but in most cases, it was mostly up to Eli to straighten things out; calm his friend and talk the other group down. He never truly needed to fight, as his relaxed nature was greeted fairly well by other people. Nor did he wish to, what was the point in fighting someone if he was able to talk and laugh with them instead? -

...But mostly, I'm just itching to start. :3.
Same!! Now that my char is approved, just to say I'm looking forward to writing with all of you. :D
Alright, the updates are done! My internet access was fried for the last day or so, making me unable to post here :)
@Genkai, oh awesome! It is a bit conceptually too far ahead, true. I'm going to tweak him around a bit today to fit better :)

This concept sounds great. A lot of explore, quite an intriguing premise and I can see things getting really interesting as the story progresses. Haven't been on the site a lot, only active in a single 1x1 RP which gets a post every couple of months. But this piqued me interest, so I would love to give it a try.
I have a concept of a character on my mind, but I'll be able to write it up tomorrow, if that's okay? :)

I know, right?!!! :3
I kinda had a plan on making him a bit of a longer term character, not just a one shot random guy. Maybe we could throw in another faction into the mix eventually and all that jazz. Dunno, but I thought like, if he was going to stick around maybe, let's make him attractive :P
