@Adelynn Ryder She looks good now! Do you think you could format the theme song like this for me though?
Or you can do it like this, if you think it looks better. Annabell's Theme
But other than that she's ready to join! ^.^
@Azaria Blue You can post your character sheet here if you want pre-approval on it or just wanna show it off!, but you can also wait until @Dynamo Frokane puts up the actual IC thread. Either works fine, so it's really up to you! Edit: Whoops, saw you have a WIP doc up. Just let one of us know when it's done!
Party Trick: "I'm a fabulous entertainer, but I feel that my best party tricks are shown behind closed doors. My favorite is making people question their sexuality."
*Blushes loudly and fans herself* G-Good job, darlin'! I say he's in! You're CS is all nice and formatted too. I love it. <3
@Ophidian I like him so far! After all, everybody likes a tough guy! :D
‘Christ, that's cold!’ Clover thought as she broke the surface, gasping in a breathless fit of laughter. Hunter came up for air only seconds later, sputtering up water between each low chuckle he exhaled. ”M’Sorry,” the ginger giggled as she reached up and swiped her thumb across the kiss mark that still adorned his cheek. “I probably should have warned you first. That wasn't very lady like of me,” she teased, her feet just barely able to touch the bottom of the pool.
"I... I never want this moment to end,” he began and Clover felt her breath hitch slightly. "I never want to leave this boat as long as you're on it. I never want to leave this pool as long as you're in it." Hunter continued. Her thumb ceased its sweeping motion and lingered over the stubble on his jaw as he took another breath and pressed on, "I know it's a bit weird and all just meeting. But... I never want to leave your side."
Clover was quiet for a moment, staring up into Hunter’s chestnut eyes as she tried to make sense of this man. What had happened to him that made him want to hold on to her so tightly? Her gaze followed a bead of water as it began to make its journey from his hairline down to pool into the well of his cupid’s bow. Nervous butterflies began to claw their way up Clover’s insides but she squashed them before they could overwhelm her and leaned up to let her tongue flit out to catch the little bit of moisture. Before either one of them could blink she retreated, but stayed close enough that she could feel his breath ghosting across her cheek. It smelled like apple juice.
“...you might not want to hang out with me much after you get to know me," she murmured, looking away from him. “I’m, erm, a little neurotic,” she admitted before she amended,”Well, maybe a lot neurotic. Sometimes I study for days on end. Seriously, I don't leave my apartment at all. It's not pretty,” she confessed as her fingertips began to trail up Hunter’s biceps. “...But I like you, Hunter. And there is no other place I’d rather be right now than with you.”
@Adelynn Ryder It’s a pretty good first draft! There are just a couple of things we need to spruce up before your little Annabelle is ready to go!
On your dislikes you need to list a couple more things. They don’t have to be big, anything from cigarette smoke to not enjoying being too hot, etcetera. You’re bio is a really nice length though, and gives us a great idea idea of what her character is about as a person. Nice work!
On your theme song it would be pretty nifty if you could link us to it. I see by your post count that you're a little new here, so if you needed some help on formatting I could PM you and show you a thing or two, if you wanted!
Here is an example of a finished profile. Your’s doesn’t have to be formated like this with all the colors and headers and what not, but it’ll give you an idea on the amount of likes and dislikes you need and what the theme song area should look like.
Likes:”Coffee is my favorite thing on the planet!”
Club/dance music, dancing, forehead kisses, flowers, strong coffee, people with a sense of humor, road trips, dogs, whiskey, video games, pretty dresses, blue eyed men, being snarky, crowds, her cellphone, cooking, tattoos, sushi, true crime tv shows, and manga.
Dislikes:“I used to not like the smell of cigarette smoke but...it’s kinda growing on me, y’know?”
Paper cuts, apples, violence, cold showers, cows (she thinks they're terrifying), spiders, doing laundry, jazz music, vodka, snobby people, thunder, traffic, windows vista.
Party Trick: She's pretty badass at shadow puppets! :)
Profession: Works at Shine City Investigation Services during the day and part-time as a DJ at Club LUSH on the weekends.
Personality: Nori has an adventurous spirit, thrives on action, and loves anything that gets her adrenaline up. This of course makes her a bit of a risk taker, which often gets her into sticky situations. It also means that she can get bored easily if she feels like she isn't doing something productive. When it comes to the people she cares about, Nori is loyal to a fault. If she sees someone bullying one of her friends she will not hesitate to call them out on it. She is a bright, confident, funny girl who is full of sarcasm and doesn't let anyone push her around.
History: Nori grew up the only child of two loving, lower-middle class parents in a rural farming community and even though she was happy, she always longed for the big city life. So when she turned 21, she moved to Shine City to follow her dream of being a professional DJ. Nori quickly learned that none of the radio stations would hire her without experience and she began to lose hope, until she saw a flyer that said Club LUSH was looking for part-time DJs. The young blonde was hired on the spot and while she was excited to be doing what she loved, it wasn't quite enough to pay the bills. So she had to take on another job at the local flower shop to make ends meet.
Then, through a series of increasingly bizarre events, she was targeted by a serial killer, her apartment set on fire, and she ultimately lost her job at the Enchanted Florist. It was alright though, because that’s how she met one Detective Oliver Holland.
He gave her a place to stay and through good old fashioned detective work they managed to apprehend and put The Weatherman behind bars. The case was over and there was technically no reason for Nori to hang around anymore, but she couldn’t quite bring herself to leave Shine City Investigation Services. The two grew closer as they continued to spend more and more time together and before long they struck up a romance.
Sure, he smoked like a chimney and sort of looked like a mummy whenever he was all wrapped up in those silly bandages of his, but he was funny and charming in his own weird, sarcastic way, and Nori couldn’t be happier.
Other Information
Theme Song:
Relationship Status: Has been dating Oliver for about two months now.
@Delta44 I do love Ryoki, but I'm sure whatever other character you make will be great too! I'm playing a different girl this season, but I’m gonna keep Nori in the background for the boss, since he thinks she's neat. ;)
As for the time skip, @Dynamo Frokane said that it's summertime now, so I believe it’s been four to five months since the last season.
@Haeo I sort of glossed over the weatherman in Nori’s updated CS, but he was apprehended and there are no more serial killers in Shine City, nor will there be anything like that this season! Shine City Investigation Services only deals in petty criminals, catching cheating spouses, and finding lost pets now. XD
He can be as salacious as you want him to be as long as you don't break any guild rules! But referencing sexy times and/or wanting to tear the clothes off someone is alright in Shine City, just save the actual bodice ripping scenes for PMs between you and your chosen beau. ;)
Cursing is also fine, so long as we're not dropping f-bombs every three words. Sprinkling them in for emphasis is cool, but lets try not to go all Cid Highwind if we can avoid it!
We'd love to have you @Adelynn Ryder, this would be a good place for you to get your feet wet as far as romance roleplays go! We don't have an IC thread up yet, but you could start working on your character sheet if you like, that way you're ready to go when we officially start back up. ^.^
For those of you new to shine city, its an open freeform slice of life/romance RP where young single people come to socialise and find friendships, dating and ultimately love in the beautiful and ever growing shine city.
Shine city is the largest city in Shine County, a fictional land that is based on Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom to some degree where your character will work and live day by day (depending on time skips) and interact with the other inhabitants. The 'Plot' of the RP is mainly decided by the characters as it's open to flow with the current events, this is a HUGE social RP so we want as many characters as possible for this iteration of Shine City.
What You Can Expect
• You don’t need to have been a part of season 1 or 2 to jump right into season 3! Don’t be scared to join our cast of players just because you’ve never played with us before. Help us keep this sea stocked with plenty of fish!
• This is going to be a high casual to low advanced roleplay, which means you will be expected to give well written posts with a three paragraph minimum. This doesn't mean you have to write flawlessly, we all misspell a word every now and again, but no one should have to struggle to make sense of your post.
• This is an anime roleplay, so we are going to be using anime for our appearance pictures. No real life please!
• This game is very character driven! @Dynamo Frokane (The GM!) has created a lovely town for you to play in, so go forth and make your own story! The city will hold the occasional event (like an author having a book signing or a carnival) so we can get many of the characters in one place for a bigger chance to mingle and the GM will impose time skips as he sees fit, but other than that you are free to explore the town and play however you want.
•You will probably find love! ...and maybe a little heartache. It’s a fact of any romance roleplay that characters will fall in and out of love and one character may even betray another one (steal their man, sabotage a job interview, cheating, etcetera etcetera). It is important for you to know that while the Shine City staff (@Dynamo Frokane, the lovely and perfect @MyCatGinger and myself) love us some good IC drama, we do not enjoy it when it carries over to the OOC. Please be kind and respectful of your fellow players and always remember that the character and their creator are two separate entities.
Character Sheet Template
Name: (Full, please!) Age: (18-35) Appearance: (anime picture, please!) Height: Weight: Likes: Dislikes: Party Trick: Profession: (What you do and where you work) Bio/Personality: (one paragraph bare minimum, but we encourage more! :3 ) Theme Song: This one isn't an actual requirement, but we think it’d be fun if you added it anyways. ^.^
You are more than welcome to customize and add to your character sheet, as long as you make sure you meet the basic requirements laid out here. Make it as unique or as uniform as you’d like!
But please put it under a hider for us, so we don’t clog up the thread.
Town Locations
Here is a list of Shine City's different locations that your character can explore/work at! We’re always updating it based off player demand, so check back often!
I will be your tour guide to make sure you enjoy your stay, first let me show you to the town centre, its know by its official road name of Shine Junction
Theme Music!
Here you will find a lot of the high end boutiques and clothing stores, there is a theatre, a few music venues and of course the shine city arcade! At night this place lights up and this becomes an amazing place to take a date for a drink in one of the penthouse bars on the skyscrapers dotted throughout the centre. Or maybe take your date to one of the 14 restaurants each with a different cultural style for that exotic variety! Everybody who's anybody can be seen in Shine Junction from time to time.But hang around here too much and you may become over-exposed, a little mystery and privacy goes a long way in the dating world ;)
Now for all of you slightly younger go getters out here, or maybe those just trying to add to their skill set later on in life, you will already be familiar with the Shine City Academy
Theme Song
Although most students here are between the ages of 16-22 there is good number of older students here looking to further their career with extra qualifications, this academy boasts a massive campus which holds a lot of dorm rooms, and a huge university sports field as well. Although this is a place of study do not heistate to come here for a spot of after school socialising! I recommend the cafeteria, the food there is excellent, what a surprise!
After all that it would make sense to take it easy for a little while and get some fresh air so why don't you check out the Shiny Park?
Theme Song
You may want to take your puppy for a walk around here, pets are the best conversation starter and you may even get some exercise chasing after Mr/Ms Right! I'll catch you there for ultimate frisbee! This is also a great place for a picnic, and time to pull out the guitar when nobody is expecting it.
Ahh 21 and over only I'm afraid, this is the biggest club in the city, and is frequented by whoever is somebody in Shine County! Sadly on a busy night, its hard to get in unless you know someone from the upper echelon of high society. It has the best nightcore and hardcore happy house in the world and the dance floor is always packed out. The Bouncers have kept an eye out for students from Shine City Academy who probably shouldn't be there! If you cant get in here be sure to check out the MochaVine coffee store.
Theme Music:
If you want to relax or maybe talk to the cool bartenders and baristas the please check out this awesome cafe bar combo, its frequented by the more artistic crowd in Shine City and is a great place for indpendent musicians to get a start. The lovely Rosanna Reyes works here and the bar has seen a influx of young men attending since she started working here....hmmm I wonder why? :) But if you are feeling hungry please head over to the Tiny Snowflake Restaurant
Theme Song
Feeling that traditional vibe? well the founder of this beautiful eatery in the heart of shine junction can trace his family business all the way back to the Edo period, which is why he has chosen to preserve the oriental aesthetic in the decor. The menu here is very varied though serving anything from Sushi and Wu don to steak and lobster, to cater to all the tastes of the very mixed culture of shine city. Word has it that the beautiful Amaya works here in a very pretty kimono, you'll have to come see for yourself.
Hey so you have a bit of spare cash? why not see if you can double it at shine city's premiere grown up playground? The socilaites from the the wealthy Upscale Heights part of town love to frequent this golden paradise almost any day of the week. Casino Games, Poker, BlackJack, Roulette, Slots, the options to gamble and live life on the edge are available for you here, just remember when its time to stop! But if youre not quite old enough for these games and want a more family friendly playground check out the Lancom Arcade
This is the centre for everything gaming, LAN parties, Trading Card Games, Arcade Tournaments, even a bit of cosplay on certain days! Please come along and spend the day with your friends around colourful lights and library of games for you to enjoy! And remember this is shine city, so a high level tournament player is the type to end up on a lot of dates! so brush up on those skills! Now after all that high energy gaming why not take a stroll through the calming Shine Aquarium exhibition?
The sea creatures of shine county are a marvel to behold, and the 'blue tunnel' in this vast museum/aquarium is almost the stuff of legend, this aquarium was the main driving force of tourism in shine city back when it was only a little town back in the 80s. This is the perfect place to take a date, let the atmosphere and music send you into a dream word...and dont forget to buy a t-shirt!
Did you forget your mom's birthday? Didn't get your girl anything for your anniversary and now you're stuck in the dog house? Well, flowers don't fix everything, but they're a good place to start! All of our beautiful flowers are either grown in house or supplied by local growers from within the Shine City community, and they're sure to put a smile on that special someone's face. More of a do-it-yourself kind of person? We've got you covered! This flower shop has everything a gardener could ever need, from pruning sheers and gloves to fertilizer and seeds. So come on down to The Enchanted Florist and grab your 'I'm-so-sorry-please-don't-make-me-sleep-on-the-couch-again' bouquet today!
Hey so you feeling the winter spirit? while inside of the same centre that holds the Aquarium is a new ice rink center! There will be more expansions to the activity complex coming soon, and this is the first! Rent a set of blades and show off on your next date, and dont worry even if you fall on your butt, its seen as cute, so its a win/win situation! See you on the Ice!
Vision feeling a little blurry? Or perhaps you need a new set of shades for the beach? At "An Eye For Fashion" the expert staff of licensed professionals can help you see your best and look your best. Inspired by the owner's travels across Europe, you'll feel as though you've stepped into another dimension as you leave Japan behind for the rustic city streets of Europe. It's said that Kyle Parker is working on his skills in the trade here.
They carry popular brand lines such as Bay-Rans, Coochie, and airsols.
Catherine Von Shine and her rich family founded Shine County In the 1800s, and although the bloodline of the family is no more. The beautiful Mansion they owned has stood the test of time and has been restored for public use as, The Shine City Town Hall. Legendary Party Promoter and Co-Ordinator Jacques Jonai has gotten permission from the City to begin holding City events here Including The 1st Shine Masquerade Ball for the new year.
...And I think that's it! Please let us know if you’re interested in playing with us this season and feel free to ask questions if you need something clarified or need help with a character sheet.
I am pretty interested in this too, it's such a neat idea for a magic system! I'll keep an eye on it and see what other plots you come up with. If you need any help coming up with towns/fantasy creatures/finding pictures for inspiration just let me know, I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff. :D
