Bio

Call me Ginger!

GMT+1
Future veterinarian, presently irreverently funny self-deprecator and literature hobbyist.
Casual-advanced. 1x1 and Group RP, no preference.
Up to make mischief, make memories, and make a fool of myself.
And maybe roleplay a little on the side. :)
Dating @Mateotis who is much more active than I am here, but also decidedly a much more gifted writer/poet. Hound him if you're looking for me.
A little sickly and evidently severely lacking in impulse-control, so patience is appreciated in general.

I'll remain forever royal,
I'll repay my parents' debt.
Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret.

LOVE the Vitamin String Quartet. :D
And the song Nick is playing right now is super, super catchy. Goodness!
"That Weston boy..." Shou shook his head with a little smirk to himself as he hoisted the shoulder-bag he wore a little higher up on his shoulder and, with one hand shielding his face against the warm sunlight that poured into the room through the tall windows, looked up at the nearest speaker, positioned just by the window, from which the sound blared. The boy was always so full of life. Now, if only he paid as much attention to his classes as he did that radio show...
"He's a right riot."

The gentleman glanced at the watch on his left wrist, catching the light of the day. 3:47 pm now. Time to go home.
It was a Saturday, and the weekend, yes. But Shou didn't mind dropping by to the academy on Saturdays for the wealth of other classes that were offered there. Actually, no, it wasn't so much that he didn't mind. It was more that he himself was a terrible cook, and there happened to be a peculiar cooking class offered there on Saturdays, hosted by a wonderful elderly lady by the name of Mrs. Green.

The class was over now, and the handful or so of students poured out of the building. Shou folded the apron set on the table in front of him into a neat little bundle and plopped it onto the pile of others there. One of them happened to be in a more...interesting state than the others. And Shou, and probably the rest of the class, knew just who it was that did that. And he was one of the last to leave, before Shou himself. He was a tall, muscular young man with fiery red hair that Shou thought looked like a lion's mane. He stood much taller than Shou and was more than a little intimidating, but gauging by the exchange between him and the short, sweet old woman, he couldn't have been violent even if he tried. Or, appeared to be that way.

"Thank you, Mrs. Green." the man moved to the door where the woman stood, bidding her students farewell. He offered her a grateful smile, followed by a rather solemn sigh. "I don't believe I'll ever get the hang of cooking, I'm afraid. Damned be I if ever I've to impress a pretty lady...hah."
"Oh, nonsense, hun." she clicked her tongue, tapping her foot with her hands on her hips. She was loving but spunky indeed for her age, "We'll have you cookin' in no time, dearie."
"You're too good to me, Mrs. Green." Shou laughed now, bowing his head to the elderly woman a final time before stepping out the doorway and onto the paved pathway that led out into the open academy. The white brick buildings glittered with an ethereal light in the sun. The afternoons and early evenings had always been Shou's favourite parts of the day. "See you next Saturday, Mrs. Green!"
"And you, Shou! Make sure to take care of yourself, and eat well!"

The parking lot where he'd left his car was a fair distance away, so Shou took his time, particularly focused on the 'fiery lion' (the romanticist in him had dubbed the boy) who walked a little bit ahead. He chuckled to himself at the thought of the last dish he'd burnt. It was always interesting having the boy in the cooking classes. Shou wondered about his age. He didn't seem much younger than Shou himself, though many of the older students at the academy weren't much so, either. It led him to wonder about his profession. A professional weight-lifter?
It wasn't unlikely...

The professor decided he might just want to make conversation with the young man, and upped his pace just enough to walk a little distance from him. Not too close as to suggest closeness, but not too far so his words wouldn't be in earshot.
"Interesting cooking class today, was it not?" he gave the young man a side-glance, and all but flinched at how tall he really was. He made Shou feel quite tiny in comparison for his 6'2". It was definitely interesting to note the man's height.
Are we doing character themes, now? Ooh, I've got the most perfect one for Shou!

I've been persuaded into listening to a lot of Touhou music lately by a friend, so that's a thing. Otherwise, I like to dabble in super angsty punk rock because it's awesome. <<
Rise Against remains in my favourite bands, but um...
Someone on the chat shared something called Postmodern Jukebox with us earlier, they're a band that do vintage covers of modern songs.
I happen to be unable to get enough.
@Dynamo Frokane Been super busy, sorry, boss! <<
How about I post in the next section? You all move on without me for just this one.
I'm out of ideas as to have Shou approach anyone, though he'll definitely comment on how thankfully odd women and Nick Weston are.
"Those crazy kids..."

Don't worry about me, boss! :) Keep it rolling!
I'll post super soon!
Petition to ask competitors who are willing to make voice recordings of their raps for us flow-disabled simpletons. To an accompanying beat chosen by the judge or by @ClocktowerEchos of course.
<<
@Narcotic Dollie
Aha! That's where you're wrong!
...he likes blue orchids. << That changes nothing, does it.
He still isn't one of those people who just buy flowers for no reason. Though, since he gardens...
Wink? Wink wink wink wink wink?
I'm sure they'll meet, actually. I'm not worried about how. :')
So, the day at the academy has just ended, right?
Shou is going to be doing Shou-things then.

@Narcotic Dollie
I'm not quite sure at all how Nori and Shou would ever meet. If they would. It'd be interesting if they would, why not. :P

@Stern Algorithm Shizuka sounds like a lovely teacher's assistant! Well, if she'd be willing to give up her time off to spend in a classroom, though not so much lecture hall I presume, Shou would be happy to have her.
@Knight of Doom Algy (LOL, I'm sorry, Algorithm) is totally on the ball for the girls being in Shou's class. Though we can leave out little technicalities like how Biology and Zoology might be like ICT or Computer Science, in which you usually do one and not the other...
Shh!

@Dynamo Frokane Glad you have me on board. :) This should be fun! Like @Roecoon said!
Name: Shou Matsuoka (Mr. Matsuoka to his students, but he really doesn't mind Shou)

Age: 29

Appearance:
(Credits to the original artist)
Has a piercing on his left ear on which he swaps between tiny spike or silver ring earrings. Dark circles aren't unfamiliar to his otherwise pale features, and his eyes are a clear, light, chocolate-brown colour which contrasts heavily with his (dyed) silver hair. In his youth, he used to have a select number of streaks in the mess of his locks that he dyed different colours once every two months. Though you can see a cigarette sticking out of his mouth when he isn't at school, it's replaced for a lollipop when he's on the job. Though oddly enough, it's difficult to tell from far away what it might really be...

Height: 6'2" / 188cm

Weight: 177lbs / 80.5kg

Likes: Fresh fruit, discussion and debate, thought-provoking material, philosophy, the sounds of the steelpan, the saxophone and the violin (and even the harmonica on occasion!), oddballs, big dogs, breathtaking natural green scenery, lighting candles, aromatherapy, the colour blue, dressing classy, reading and writing fine literature, art, PC-gaming, white and milk chocolate, lollipops and gummy-bears, herbal teas and black coffees, blue orchids.

Dislikes: Liquorice, dark chocolate, small spaces, papaya, grading papers, his age and authority questioned, late students, the cold, spicy food, beetles, when people try to get him to dance, when things stop working.

Party Trick: Can, pitch-perfect and usually very loudly, whistle any requested song (that he knows).

Profession: Professor at the Shine City Academy (Department of Biology)

Bio/Personality:
Shou grew up in classy Shine City itself as the younger of two sons, so it's hard to find a place or trick or turn within it that the young gentleman doesn't know. Though, admittedly, he only came to learn of more of the city in his later years, having been homeschooled as a child and so finishing his education a couple of years early (due to missing out so many much-coveted summers). He landed his professor job through a mixture of sheer luck, his personal smarts and three rather interesting published works on the behavioural study of animals in captivity. This has led to him being a bit of an eccentric man, though he enjoys his fair share of parties as well, accompanied by a new experimental mixed-drink each time if not for a classic favourite of his: A glass of burgundy wine, for his more mature palette.

He spends his days teaching at the Shine City academy, hoping to inspire his students (though he has to admit again, most of them don't seem quite as much as interested in his lectures) to greatness someday. His young age is often a cause for playful kidding around by the older members of staff, though also gets him a lot of belittling remarks and unsatisfied glances from time to time. He claims he's just as much a student as anyone else, learning from his seniors whenever he can on their respective areas of expertise, and from his juniors on areas such as 'socialisation in the younger-crowds'.
He owns two dogs, a young Jack Russell Terrier called Jinxie and a larger Border Collie/German Shepherd mix called Romeo. Seeing as he lives by himself in a rather comfortable little house just far enough from the bustling city center to have an open yard, the two dogs get on well and don't get bored or lonely too often (special thanks to the dogs of the lovely old woman who lives next door!)

Shou himself is slightly introverted, preferring to be approached rather than approaching someone, though he has no problem doing the latter. He hardly ever is mentioned to say "he's bored", being a strong believer in finding entertainment in whatever one does. He is compassionate towards animals and, oddly enough, plants as well, having a well-tended garden set up in his backyard. He also possesses intensive knowledge on herbal remedies his mother taught both boys, Shou and Yuusha, when they were young. Being described as 'eccentric' due to his often chuckling at the most inappropriate moments, or his somewhat morbid love for setting things alight, or even his irritability on Thursday evenings when the weekend is so close, yet so far, he garters the positive attentions and affections of many others, particularly the schoolgirls at the academy impressed with just how young he is.
Or maybe they're just taken by his looks.

As for his personal skills, outside of teaching and aromatherapy, Shou can also play the violin himself, whereas his brother picked up the saxophone when they were children. Though, to make up for it, he thoroughly neglected cooking in his youth and survives on the most basic meals, usually burnt or improper in some way, shape or form, but laden with spices each and every time.

As for me, I'm trying to piledrive my way through the Ace Attorney franchise. Currently on Miles Edgeworth Investigations before I move onto finishing Dual Destinies. <<
If you haven't given it, and Dangan Ronpa, a shot I most certainly recommend them.
