Being Normal (OOC/Closed/Anime School)

[Insaeldor]

I know we discussed a bit about having supernatural aspects in the RP before, like ghosts and such, but did we come to a proper conclusion? I can't recall if we did or not. If yes, then I was planning on having a character that is somewhat spiritually aware, one could say. Possibly influenced by the fact that I've recently got back to watching Natsume Yuujinchou, and I'm currently in the third season. Good anime, and like I did when I first started watching it a little while back, I have a habit of watching Mushishi at around the same time. Since both seem to have a similar atmosphere, to some degree. Though it varies, obviously.

I think the conclusion was that we would probably have an episode based on supernatural experiance but the RP itself would not have any supernatural themes otherwise.

Never got a big conclusion on it...pretty much my last stated opinion was their might be a plotline or two that may have supernatural elements, but characters should be "normal." I do plan on eventually doing a ghost haunting episode.

I am sure the school has a few ghost stories about it, so take that as you may.

I think the conclusion was that we would probably have an episode based on supernatural experiance but the RP itself would not have any supernatural themes otherwise.

And yeah, pretty much this spot on.

Also another question, what about music? Like adding links to music in our posts to add a little flare to the post and set up the mood a bit more. Just asking so I don't do anything silly in the IC.

Character Name: Prokop Blaskowicz-Jankovic

Character Gender: Male

Character Age: 17

Class Year: Senior

Year in Academy: He’s new around these parts, so 1st I guess.

Image:

Physical Features: Has very long dirty blonde/ very light brown hair (that he often hides behind like a security blanket), light grey or whitish-blue eyes, and is ghastly pale with a lithe and slender physique. Often wears wireframe eyeglasses/ spectacles.

Personality: A lovably eccentric intellectual with a passion for history and politics and dreams of traveling the world. He has no friends and often suffers from low self-esteem. He also loves dogs and cats, who he often finds easier to befriend than other people, and he can frequently be found playing with strays and trying to bring them home with him.

Background: He is an exchange student from a large industrial city somewhere in the interior of North America akin to Chicago or Milwaukee. He has an occasionally noticeable Central/ Eastern European heritage. He is a triplet with two sisters, whom he says “are usually too occupied trying to make each other miserable to notice or care about my existence”. Otherwise there is little of note to say.

[Castle Crashers]

Character Name: Andie Morrison
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: 16
Class Year: Junior
Year in Academy: 3rd
Image:

Physical Features: 5'4", weighs 112 pounds
Personality: Independent, cheerful, optimistic, unnaturally happy, can sometimes be creepy (o.o)
Background: Andie was born in America, and moved to Seikojo when she was eight. Growing up, it was hard to transition into the new life. But as she aged, she began to gain friends, and even held a party or two. She has a fairly sheltered home, living in a large house with two parents and an older brother. The family's optimism has really had an effect on her...

Character Name: Andrew W. Van Duser
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 16
Class Year: Junior
Year in Academy: 2nd
Image:

Physical Features: 5'11" / 165lb / brown hair / green eyes / No scars, birthmark on bottom of left foot
Personality: Andrew is kind of strange, outgoing when it is something he knows about, and reclusive when he is unsure. He doesn't care much to actually own much and turns down money often, but he tries hard to be of minimal cost to other people. He trusts, almost blindly, that he has what he needs and that he'll always have what he needs and that there is little reason to have more. He is pretty self confident, though, and doesn't actually care what other people think of him. In fact, he is very slow to anger and quick to forgive. Kindness towards others is one of his strongest morals. He's a pretty good people person and doesn't have a lot of fears.

Background: Born September 29th to lower-middle class parents. He is an only child and is very loved by his parents. Unfortunately, they invested a majority of their money into a small storefront that was met with mixed levels of success. Enough, at least to put Andrew in the academy without having to take out too drastic of loans.
As a small child, Andy had all of the makings of a happy childhood. He had toys and his own room, which meant a lot to the four room apartment above the shop. Of course some of the things were han-me-downs and gifts from family, but it hardly mattered. They celebrated everything, first word and steps, first day of school. The day he lost his first tooth was such a deal that he can remember almost all of it to this day, his mother's squeals of excitement over the wiggle and how loose it was, and his parents debate over whether it was better to slam the door or drop the toaster. When he grew old enough, though, he began to notice the disparities. He didn't ask for the new gaming system for Christmas when he was ten. He felt bad when he ended up getting braces. Having been raised that being nice to people was one of the most important things, Andrew felt guilty for being such a burden. He even began picking up shifts at the store, which stopped as soon as his grades began to slip. It may be a testament to his strangeness that getting to work for his allowance was the only reason he kept his grades up.
So, here we are, at the steps of the school his parents saved to get him too, for the second time, let's make the most of it.

Other stuff
He's never learned to swim, he loves camping and hiking, he has a small garden on the roof that he tends, he's an average intelligence with a great eye for patterns and a good short-term memory, Catholic.

Alright, I'm in. Expect an app for a dashingly good looking Metalhead with an abnormally extensive lexicon and the elocution to match it. Also, expect him to never not have his guitar. But that's where the biggest question comes in. Explorer or Flying V?

[Videssos]

Character Name: Seiko Ichijō
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 16
Class Year: Freshman, whatever that is. Not an expert on education systems outside of England.
Year in Academy: 1st
Image:

Physical Features: 5'8", 113 lb. As one can see, long blonde hair, androgynous, could be a trap.

Personality: Though he seems positive and friendly when encountered, he's somewhat shy and introverted, especially when talking to girls, or about things he doesn't really know or have much previous interest about. Though he can warm up to people fairly quickly, to a certain degree. He's heavily bookish, often reading various books, though he also has considerable interest in games, anime, and certain kinds of music, including metal, rock, and classical, among others. Another interest of his that he tries to keep more to himself, is the occult, and unusual things, from mythology to out of place artefacts, Seiko has always had a certain obsession in that department. He's quite perceptive and intelligent. He can be somewhat wary and slow to trust, preferring to hide stuff he thinks others might deride him for. Seiko also has a varied sense of humour, and a fondness for nature.
Background:

Born into a fairly wealthy family, his father affiliated with a number of successful Japanese companies, and his mother from a Swedish noble family, he was born into a situation that many would perhaps envy. From an early age, he displayed a fair amount of intelligence, and generally learnt pretty quickly. Nonetheless, he happened to be able to see things others couldn't. From early childhood, that inevitably lead to bullying and persecution. The fact that he looked like a girl didn't help either, and sometimes attracted unwanted attention, as did the wealth of his family. Accordingly, he tended to stick to himself a bit more, developing his own interests and becoming a bit less gregarious than the average individual. Nonetheless, even as some mocked or ignored him, some thought him strange or some even mentally ill, social interactions were necessary from time to time. He gradually developed a shell of sorts, being able to better deal with bad stuff, whilst also becoming better at lying, and outwardly seeming like he was fine. His mother didn't particularly care, whilst his father was often away for various reasons.

Growing up, he tended to have few friends, and one particular incident at another school before this one didn't help things, though by that point he'd gotten adept at hiding his ability to sense unusual things. A manipulative female school president caught wind of a few rumours about him, and ended up manipulating and blackmailing him into a difficult situation, before betraying him, and essentially making time at that school really difficult, using her authority, reputation, and some friends that happened to possess a certain dislike of him, after which he ended up getting kicked out, and eventually ended up here, though he keeps that part of his past a secret.

Recently, he was sent here.

[Iryllia]

Character Name: Volkova Lilia "Lilya" Rostislavovna

Character Gender: Female

Character Age: 16

Class Year: Junior

Year in Academy: 3rd Year Student

Image: Link me up Scotty!

Physical Features: She is obviously foreign, standing at a decent 6' 2" and weighing in at 142lb, brown-black hair, blue eyes.

Personality: Lilya is a great lover of Plushes, mainly of cats. She stands out awkwardly in a crowd due to her height and how she never quite adapted to Japanese Culture, she constantly forgets to bow all the time. This combined with her foreign ethnicity she tends to prefer social recluse. All in all, despite her awkwardness she's happy to help out if someone asks her. If... a bit over zealous sometimes.

Background: Lilya's familiy resides in Vladivostok, as have several previous generations. Business requirements have led to a line of fluent Japanese speakers through out her family. Her family, working at the Russian branch of a Russo-Japanese oil company, have funded her education into this school to give their daughter future prospects in both branches of the company. Having received Russian education for her early years and Japanese for her later there are certainly a few gaps in her knowledge and her cultural appropriation is severally lacking in places due to the jarring transition. Her only family currently in Japan works as a Translator for several higher up type business executives. As such she doesn't see, hear or talk to her family practically at all since her move here close to 4 years ago.

Or you could just have a character that pretends to have these abilities like in Chuunibyou

Character Name: Björn Dokumentförstörare (I'm Swedish and even I have trouble saying that :P)
Character Gender: Male
Character Age: 17
Class Year: Junior
Year in Academy: First
Image:

Physical Features: 6'3"
Personality: He is very much a Metalhead, but is rather quiet, usually playing his guitar whenever possible, even acoustically if need be. There is seldom time he isn't practicing. When in social situations he's somewhat shy and a little awkward. He is best suited playing his guitar, and loves to do it, and loves it even more when he can play for or even just around other people. He occasionally drinks, but refrains, as it interferes with his practice. Usually, he only drinks during social occasions.

As far as Metal goes, he like Classic Heavy Metal, Speed Metal, Thrash Metal, Symphonic Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Doom Metal and Stoner Metal.
Background: Originally from Sweden, Björn moved to Japan with his father and step mother due to business. His mother divorced his father when he was 10, and while many kids would be torn apart by such a thing, he vented his anger and stress through playing his guitar, the Gibson Explorer his grandfather gave to him. He is an incredible guitarist, able to play fast arpeggios and sweeps in he style of Yngwie Malmsteen.

Character Name
Peter Karlsson

Character Gender
Male

Character Age
15

Class Year
((What is meant by this?))

Year in Academy
2nd

Image


Physical Features
Peter is 167cm tall and weighs 46kg. He has dark brown hair and a pair of dark blue, almost purple eyes. He is very scrawny, and has just a slight trace of muscle tone on his biceps, chest and core (though it's definitely nothing to show off about). He also has a scar across his chest, around 4cm long (after a heart operation).

Personality
Peter is a very unassuming and quiet boy, who always prefers to read a good book or sketch faces to large, social events. Even when he is among close friends, such as the school club he is a member of, he will prefer to remain quiet and listen in on the meeting. However, on the few occasions that he does speak up, his contributions are usually very thoughtful and insightful, or, at the very least, humorous.

He has a natural flair for the Arts, and can often be seen with intricate artworks, or reading original texts (he was once seen reading Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric). As such, he is considered an intellectual prodigy by many, though he prefers not to be called such, being very uncomfortable with such flamboyant labels.

However, due to his abnormal heart rhythm, Peter is unable to play any sport (though he jogs to keep fit). He was always terrible at sports, especially ball games, having very poor coordination skills and a general lack of interest. On some occasions in the past, this has caused him to be a little ostracised, something which bothers him, but which he prefers not to talk about.

Background
Born to an upper middle class family, the middle child, Peter was found to have an abnormal heart rhythm at a very young age, and had to undergo an expensive surgery, meaning that the family could no longer live in the expensive city that they lived in. As such, they decided to move to a more industrial, less luxurious one; Seikōjo.

From here on, Peter lived the life on an average, introverted student, reading original philosophical works, while failing completely at any sport.

When he entered high school, he decided to make new friends for himself, to replace those he lost contact with after graduating. As such, he joined the high school's Community Club, in an attempt to get to know at least a few people to get along with, and hopefully, to share his interests...
