Persona: The Darkness comes

Took longer than I expected, and I ended up just copy-pasting my original post anyway even though that wasn't my original intention, haha. I just made some very few edits. Anyway, my schedule should start being clearer now so hopefully I can post more frequently.

Persona: The Darkness comes

Rain pattered against the lit windows of the second floor of a humble wooden house. Inside, was a young man lying on his bed, playing on his PSP. He was dressed in a beige shirt and slightly long black shorts. It was a relatively small room. The bed was in the middle of the place and pressed against the wall. At the foot of the bed was a TV placed atop a stand, and at the other end of the room was a wooden table with a couple of shelves containing textbooks. The window was on the side of the room, opposite of the bed. A single lightbulb shone from the middle of ceiling.

The TV was turned on and displaying a news story about the recent disappearances, and the boy simply listened to it as he played with his PSP on silent. The reports of disappearances had his family worried, but he himself was not as concerned. Being from the capital, he knew crimes and criminals always existed, but as long as they stayed out of it and remained cautious during night hours, there wouldn't be any problems. At least, that's what he thought. Another thing that made him brush off the report was when the speakers said that a cult might be involved. [i]"What a load of nonsense... I thought Media sources were more professional than that. A cult is their main theory? Really?"[i] He thought in disbelief.

A feminine voice from outside the room called out. "Naganori. Don't forget classes start tomorrow. you should get some sleep. I'm sure you're tired from exploring Hirameki today." The voice said. "Yeah, mom. I'll be asleep in a few minutes." Naganori replied. "And don't forget your umbrella tomorrow. The rain doesn't look like it will be letting up." His mother continued. "Got it." Naganori replied. He then saved his Monster Hunter game and turned off the device. He knew he could stay up and play it longer, since his parents were very loose with him about things. But the reason behind that was that they trusted him to be responsible, and responsible he was. Besides, he knew it would look bad to other students if he was late on the first day.

He sat up, and placed his PSP next to the TV, and shut it off as well. He reached up to the switch of the light on the wall just above his bed, and flicked it, shrouding his room in darkness. With that, he fell down on the bed and covered himself up with the blanket. He thought about his new school, and what it would be like. He then thought that this time, his brother wouldn't be there to walk him through how everything worked in school. The thought made him sad, but not much more than that. His grieving phase was over. Besides, he had to stay strong, for his family, and maybe even his brother if ever he was watching him somehow.

On that somber note, Naganori shut his eyes and drifted to sleep.

Persona: The Darkness comes

A little busy at the moment. I'll get a post up as soon as I clear some things up. Most likely by the next day, if not later tonight for me.

Persona: The Darkness comes

Still looking forward to getting this thing rolling ^_^

Persona: The Darkness comes

Here's my old character sheet. I gotta say, I was really intimidated by all of the cool new characters we have this time around. I was worried my old CS wouldn't be adequate, haha. Oh well, I hope there's still room for me to squeeze in. My shadow is basically the same as the one I sent before, but let me know if you need me to send it again, Lionheart =).

Naganori Tadayoshi

Name: Naganori Tadayoshi
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Birthday/Birthplace/Nationality: March 8 / Tokyo, Japan / Japanese

Clubs/Extracurricular activities: N/A
Occupation: N/A
Weapon: Yari. More specifically the Sasaho Yari. A Yari whose blade is shaped like a bamboo leaf. Has red streaks on the pole along with a crimson cloth tied at the part where the blade meets the pole.

Appearance:


His eyes are more hazel (as opposed to the picture). He usually wears his hair in a spiky, downward fashion. He has a light skin tone, and an average body build (that can be borderline skinny). He tends to wear hooded jackets during cold seasons, but settles for regular shirts (but usually also with a small hood) during warmer days. He always wears pants, and rarely ever wears shorts when heading out.

Personality: A quiet type of person, Naganori usually doesn't speak unless spoken to. However, this doesn't stop him from speaking up if he feels the need to, as he will still speak his mind if he thinks he must. Due to this, he does not make friends very easily, and doesn't draw attention to himself. He treats any insults or mockery towards him with disdain; ignoring them as well as the person doing it. Though it doesn't mean that he is unaffected. If the target of said insults are people close to him however, it is a different story.

Naganori is very caring towards his family. He will do what he can to lighten the burden of his parents, even to the point of sacrificing his own wants and needs. He tries his best to solve the problems that affect them and himself, even if most would say that it is beyond his power. Naganori denies those sorts of claims, believing "everything is possible with the right actions". He behaves the same way towards friends who have become close to him, devoting much of himself to help them. This is because he believes that someone should first do things for others before others will give goodwill to them. Though this does not mean that he expects rewards for his actions, only that he does not expect others to care for him before he shows his care first.

However, his zeal to help those close to him can sometimes put others (whom he is not as close to) in the line of fire. He is often oblivious to the pains and struggles of those whom he does not know, which can sometimes make him seem thick or insensitive. But once he knows someone better, he gains sympathy for them as well.

He is also a fairly logical person, with a tendency to not do anything that he thinks would be a waste of time. He knows time is limited for everyone, and does not see the point of doing anything that isn't worth the time to be put into it. This has usually made him ignore things that many kids consider "fun" (though he can still have fun, but only under the right circumstances). Helping his family and friends are one of the few things he sees as worthwhile.

Backstory: Born in the capital city, Naganori spent most of his life as an average, though reserved child. He did not easily get along with other children his age. The people he talked to and shared his thoughts with were his parents and elder brother. He and his brother (Sonoda Tadayoshi) were inseparable. They would always go to school together and go home together as well. Being the smarter sibling, Naganori often helped his brother excel in his studies, while his brother (who was a more popular athlete) helped make sure that Naganori wouldn't be bothered by anyone, as well as keeping him as popular as well. Aside from that, the two of them had mutual bonds in many other ways.

Unfortunately for the Tadayoshis, tragedy struck when Naganori was 14. Naganori had went home from school alone that day because his brother was off playing one of his basketball games. His father had gone to pick up Sonoda, but on the way home they were hit by a truck. Their father survived, but became crippled in one leg. However, Sonoda died before he reached the Emergency Room.

With his brother gone, Naganori became a more distant person, though his attitude has not changed, he is more quiet than he was before. People also started picking on him more, now that his brother was no longer there. Meanwhile, with his father crippled, their family had trouble making ends meet, with the mother doing most of the work to support them. They steadily lost more and more money, to the point that they were considering selling their home in Tokyo and moving somewhere else. Naganori did not want to go somewhere different, but he knew that his parents would not be able to make enough to keep the house. So he told them that he had no problems with moving, in order to convince them to go somewhere they could afford.

Thankfully, a relative living in Hirameki City, offered them a place to stay which was much cheaper than their old home. So at the age of 16, Naganori and his family moved to Hirameki. In a new place, this time without his brother by his side, Naganori felt a little lost and scared, but he steeled himself to not let those emotions show, so as not to make the burden of his parents any heavier. With their bags recently unpacked, and still adjusting to the new and smaller home, Naganori is enrolled into Satoru Highschool as a new transfer student. His parents at least wanted him to have a quality education even if they had to sacrifice other luxuries.

Persona: The Darkness comes

Still here and ready to play =). I'll just use the same character as before since the last one didn't really get very far and I'd like to give that character a shot and see what I can do with him.

Crisis: The Empyrean Project (Sci-fi Military RP)

Oh I see... That's a real shame, but I guess it can't really be helped. Everyone seems to have already gone inactive =(

Persona: Lost to Darkness

I think that starting all over with the current players initiating it would be a good option. This way, we wouldn't need to work past the clutter that was left by the other peeps who left. And also hopefully get some new blood flowing in the RP =).

Oh and hello again, Komamisa. Don't worry, I don't think anyone here will bear you any ill will as long as you're up for playing with us.

Crisis: The Empyrean Project (Sci-fi Military RP)

I hope Vietmyke's schedule clears up soon. Really been raring to scratch my character's trigger-finger, haha

Persona: Lost to Darkness

Hope Lionheart has something for us soon. I've been missing writing for my character here... =I
