Shine City 3: Summer Sequel (Always Accepting)

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

I used to scare the shit out of people by just being super quiet and low profile. I'd say something and everyone would jump

@Specter189

Same! Except I don't need to do anything, people just forget I'm there ;_;

Shine City 3: Summer Sequel (Always Accepting)

Eidel Shain

Age: 18

Appearance

Profile picture on her main social network, present day.

A photo taken of Eidel during a trip to Japan for her sixteenth birthday.

Eidel, after breaking up with her fourth boyfriend, at fifteen years old.

Height: 160 cm // 5’3”

Weight: 58 kg // 127 lb.

Likes

For activities, Eidel especially likes reading, music, sight-seeing, making home-made teas, games and… she doesn’t really know what else. Having spent most of her youth either studying, trying to be social and sticking with whichever group or clique that accepted her, she never really had time to develop her own hobbies.
As for various subjects, she enjoys the following:
-Learning and studies
-Languages
-Technology
-Organization
-Otaku-ism (very closeted about it, however)
-Socializing (?)
-New things, interesting, unique people

Dislikes

She denies disliking many things and this is mostly the case, as Eidel is fairly open to new things, but a lot of the time, she does dislike a given thing and just wants to fit into a group.
However, things she dislikes for sure are the following:
-Rejection
-Loneliness
-An excess of excitement, though she still seeks it
-Drinking, most of the time
-Smokers
-Love (ironically enough, as she wants to have it more than anyone she knows)

Party Trick: Can easily, really easily, disappear from any situation. Close your eyes for ten seconds and she’s gone. Also amazing at fighting games, but literally only those by Arc System Works.

Profession: Student of Classical Philology, French Language and Slavic Studies at Shine City Academy, looking for part-time job.

Personality/Bio: Being a newcomer to a place like Shine City and Shine County would make anyone shy, but when you take someone who’s socially awkward and yet aching for socialization and love, despite vocally refusing the latter, you get a rather particular person.

Meet Eidel.

Shorter and lighter than most, she is oftentimes shy and oftentimes too outspoken, plus with an appearance that doesn’t beg too much attention, the girl easily disappears into most sceneries. When little should be said, she says too much and when so much is needed, she can only say a fraction of what is necessary. After spending most of her childhood starved of most affection by her parents and being an only child, she went through most of her teenage years constantly seeking friendships and socialization. Instead of getting over her social ineptness, she ended up going from clique to clique, interest to interest and was stuck with the “bragging right” of having had four boyfriends and yet never had her first kiss. Around the age of fifteen, her parents suddenly realized they had a teenage daughter and she abandoned her social ventures to focus on studies and her very few hobbies, as well as spending time with her parents. Though she constantly told herself that she hated love, that it just wasted her time and hurt her, it’s one of her main desires, but after four disasters of relationships, she can’t even imagine how to get it, whether it's with a man or a woman. Now, in a new place, she has new opportunities, but it’s up to her if she’ll seize the day, discover who she is and what she wants, or let herself fade into obscurity.

Wow, not only that, but it's the one trait from myself I put in my character directly in reference to myself!

...there is something very wrong here.

......is wrong the right word...?

FINALLY A CHARACTER, HALLELUJAH
Tell me if she's crap or not, I'll live either way. And I'm liking Kastrati more and more by the minute. Even though I'll probably have nightmares of him tonight. Whew.

Apologies for the mess here folks, this old man tends to ramble on about things carelessly, especially when brainstorming a character on the backburner.

Tell me, what's the most difficult part of character creation for you guys? Mine is coming up with a name.

@Specter189

Name, name, NAME. I spend an hour or so looking for pictures, but it's really the name where I get stuck. I want something with meaning, but I always hesitate, and then I find something with a good meaning and then I say it aloud and it's horrible and just... ugh.

Well shoot, sorry to see you go. Was looking forwards to see what profile you went with.

@Ophidian

Not permanently out! Heavens, no! I've been working on my character for hours (mostly just looking for pictures and names, but yeah) and I'm REALLY looking forward to this and enjoying the OOC. Remind me to watch my use of the phrase "I'm out" from now on.

Hello, I'm Switzerland.

(translation: you guys resolve this crap, I'm out)

A SPOILER SPOILING MANY SPOILY SPOILERS

@Specter189

My eyessssssssssssssssssssssssss!

I still remember how finding out Adachi is the murderer ruined the game for me. Like, I was halfway through and stumbled on the spoiler and I just... stopped. Couldn't finish it until the Vita version came out.

Shine City 3: Summer Sequel (Always Accepting)

I would have said SPOILER ALERT, but oh well, too late I guess

@ClocktowerEchos

It's too late for me, that's for sure.
