Name: Calliope Cross Nickname: She's been called everything from cantaloupe to kaleidoscope, but she'd rather you just call her by her given name. Age: 26 Height: 5'8” ((About 173 cm)) Weight: 130 lbs. ((About 59 kg))
Likes:"I like cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, frogs, snakes, penguins, basically any sort of animal...What?...oh...What else besides animals? Erm...haha...snow cones are alright, I guess?"
Her job, animals, sewing, horticulture, bad movies, tea, cooking, small spaces, bubblegum, reading, card games, jogging, hugs, the smell of old books, being outdoors, studying, long baths, stuffed animals, cute dresses, dumplings, and preparing for the imminent downfall of human civilization.
Dislikes:"Ummm...I'm not a huge fan of leeks."
Leeks, strangers randomly touching her hair, being cooped up inside all day, curry, hospitals, psychiatrists, needles, cold weather, being cold in general, bullies, waiting in lines, people who are mean to waitstaff, American beer, clowns, magicians, headaches, and the imminent downfall of human civilization (planning for it is fun, but the thought of it actually happening gives her so much anxiety).
Party Trick:"...*fidget fidget*...I can't do anything interesting, why, have you heard something? Move along, please!"
Profession: Works at Shine Aquarium as a dolphin and seal trainer. Studying to become a veterinarian and is set to graduate next summer.
Bio: The first time it happened was the day of her mother's funeral and little Calliope was terrified, because goldfish shouldn't be able to talk, right? But her's did, saying very plainly and clearly, "Feed me, Calliope, feed me!" She ran to tell her father but he dismissed it as a silly game of make believe and didn't give it a second thought at the time.
Of course when she turned ten and was still claiming animals spoke to her it was understandably less charming and more worrisome. Jordan Cross took his daughter to see a psychiatrist and they couldn't quite figure out what the cause for her elaborate delusions were either, but they were able to prescribe numerous medications that helped drown out the voices. Calliope hated them of course, but her father seemed relieved when she stopped talking to the neighbor's iguana, so she kept taking her pills to keep him happy.
School was hard for her due to her bookish nature and as a result she never garnered many friends or suitors. Calliope didn't mind though, she would much rather study animal medical journals and play chess with her father than flounder through small talk with her classmates anyways. She graduated at the top of her class and decided to pursue a career as a veterinarian despite her father's misgivings and enrolled in the local university for the following fall.
It was during this time that Calliope blossomed into a lovely young woman that was no longer riddled with acne and braces, but her social anxiety and skiddish behavior kept her from forming any lasting attachments. She graduated with her bachelor's degree just a few short days before her father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm. Calliope didn't leave the house for weeks, stopped taking her medication, and just when it seemed like everything was getting too much to handle and she was pondering taking drastic measures, she heard a strange voice…
"Shit girl, you lookin' ratchet as hell! When was the last time you ran a comb through yo hair? That old man was dope as fuck but damn girl, you gotta cut that shit out. You're messin’ with my vibe!"
There was no one in the house except for her father’s cat. It seemed like the voices were back.
Sonya coaxed Calliope into showering, then combing her hair, then slapping on some deodorant, and slowly, piece by piece, things started to get better. Calliope had been scared that she would be completely alone without her father, but it seemed that as long as she didn't take her medicine she had found a new friend. So she doesn't refill her prescription and when the semester finished up she transferred to Shine City for a fresh start.
Calliope then bought a small house with the money her father left and her and Sonya took in a stray cat that had been meandering around the garbage bins. Her grades were good, she got a new job at the aquarium, and everything was going well. But here lately, her cats have begun to worry that if they don’t socialize their human soon she would be forever doomed to be a lonely cat lady for the rest of her days...

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.

Club Staff
Name: Bickford Beauregard Age: 52 Height: 5'9" Weight: 225ibs Likes: Scantily clad men and women, money, booze, cigarettes, being stingy Dislikes:…everything else Profession: Assistant manager at Club LUSH
Personality/Bio: Bickford grew up in Shiny City with two loving and wealthy parents along with his three older siblings and despite all the odds, he still managed to turn out to be a massive dickhead.
Currently on his seventh marriage, Bickford spends most of his time at the club, where he is surprisingly good at his job. He isn’t well liked by his employees due to his constant crude comments and nagging them to wear more revealing clothing. It is his personal goal to see all Club LUSH’s employees wearing only their skivvies to work.
Theme Song:
Name: Cash Daindrich AKA DJ Dangermouse Age: 27 Height: 6'1" Weight: 166 ibs Likes: Cigarettes, sleeping until noon, music, tattoos, being shirtless Dislikes: Women with high pitched voices, coffee, having to wear a shirt Profession: Main DJ at Club LUSH
Personality: When not on stage, Cash comes across as laid back, but aloof towards most people. He doesn't talk much and when he does, it’s usually dripping with sarcasm. That being said, once you get past his gruffness he isn't completely awful to be around, as long as you don't mind him not actually answering when you talk to him. Cash’s DJ personality is still pretty laid back, but he makes up for it with his great intuition when it comes to mixing music. He is always shirtless when working.
@Section and @Jay Kalton Shine City is always accepting new players, so you've got the green light to make a CS if you'd like to! :D
..the song “Truffle Butter” (ENOUGH ALREADY)
*Nori gives shifty eyes before cranking up the club's PA system to it's max volume setting* PRETTY WOMEN, WHAT'S UP!?
XD He's good to go! Also, I know @MyCatGinger isn't here yet and she still isn't sure whether she wants to make a new character or not, but if Shou comes back I already ship him and Kastrati together. I've been trying to get some yaoi on this thread since season one. Seriously. I need it in my life. Make my dreams come trueeeeeeee!
@Knight of Doom Oh, I love Amaya's new face claim! Her eyes are gorgeous!
@Adelynn Ryder It's perfect now! She'll be good to go when the boss decides to get the actual thread going. ^.^
@Azaria Blue A perfect CS, I think she's good to go. Mimiko actually seems like she has a lot in common with my actual character for this season, maybe they can be friends!
...She does chew a lot of bubble gum though, so she might get on her nerves. XD
An I'm just gonna leave this here so I don't lose it in my jumbled mess of a filing system.
