And now for something completely different!

Name: Mayonaka Rondo
Appearance:
(Image)
Gender | Sex: Female, also female, and more female, FEMALE FEMALE FEMALE
Age: 18
Personality: Depressed geek with a facade of happiness and humor. She loves British and Japanese culture, and adores books. Some might describe her as 'that crazy geek' or '...interesting' or 'funny', but what she tries not to let people see is that she's actually miserable, so miserable that she's considered suicide a good number of times and nearly committed it three times. She takes a cocktail of medication that helps her stay happier and helps her fit in more, but she's not happy about it. Acts as though she despises romance, but desires to feel loved and tries to quench that thirst with love stories. Hates herself and cares who knows it.
Brief Biography: Mayonaka had a happy childhood, for about the first few years. She learned to read when she was two and a half years old, and her love of reading only increased as she grew older. At five, she began attempting to write her first book(which failed miserably). Unfortunately, when she was seven years old, she began developing problems with her legs. At eight, she started growing more and more depressed, and by the age of nine began considering suicide. At ten, she both had to have intensive surgery on her legs(with a very painful recovery), was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, and nearly committed suicide then and there, before learning to accept it--incidentally, through books--the Sherlock Holmes stories, to be specific.(This was the beginning of a beautiful fandom.) At the age of twelve, she nearly committed suicide again after becoming totally disillusioned with the world and herself, but managed to hang on by discarding the things which had so disillusioned her. Became obsessive at thirteen. Almost committed suicide again. At fifteen, had early wisdom teeth(six of them) removed, and ended up with a swollen face reminiscent of a chipmunk, which lasted through her sixteenth birthday. The next two years were a rush of medications and psychologists, and a lot of misery. Still trying to write a book.

Here is my staff's app.

Name: Alexander Lee
Appearance: Alexander Lee

Gender | Sex: Male | Male
Age: 20
Personality: He has a bit rough personality here and there, from his bad childhood though he is quite nice once you know him deeper. He insisting that he's the sanest in the bookstore, but judging from his personality and the fact that he loves thriller books, novels, and has a weird sense of humor, it's not really true.
Brief Biography:His parents were killed in a car accident on their way to Sunset Gates when he was still a 3 year old child. His parents supposed to got jobs there, having moved from South Korea. In the accident, he was the only one who survived, and thus transferred into orphanage, and then to foster home. His first foster parents abused him physically, and then was removed from their guidance. Despite reformation psychologically and moving to better foster parents, he changed.

Now 20, graduated from senior high school and doesn't wants college enlistment, he found a job at the bookstore.

Ah, fuck it. This'll do.

Name: Charity Dela Rosa
Appearance:
(Image)
Gender | Sex: Female, Female
Age: 19
Personality: She is a quiet and unassuming person, and one who often stutters in her sentences. Can be misunderstood. Regardless, she loves books, and this bookstore happens to be where she can browse through them without actually having to pay for it. Preferred genres: adventure, fantasy, science fiction, slice-of-life.
Brief Biography: While she is in every way a resident of Sunset Gates for pretty much all of her life, her parents were Filipino immigrants who came to Sunset Gates to work. Her father was a factory worker at an automobile factory while her mother worked as a caretaker at the local retirement home. Ever since she was young she had an interest for books, and would often beg her parents to buy her some. And who were they to stop her? And so book after book—serial issue after serial issue—whatever they could get their hands on, they bought for her. And so the book pile grew and grew.

Of course, she is currently a student at Sunset Gates College, and she needed a part-time job for her to get some income to pay off the school for her studies. And what better job than working in a bookstore?

Couldn't decide on who to use...

Name: B.I.O. Prototype 3729
Appearance: TBA

Gender | Sex: M ｜ M
Age: 76 (Looks 25)
Personality: Depends on situations present, can easily go from drill sergeant discipline to laid back chill.
Brief Biography: Created by an artificial life development facility in Britain, he spent almost the entire 2nd World War as a German tank commander, only realizing he'd been fighting for the wrong side when D-Day erupted. Built as a prototype for the future 1960's model, 3729 was the first B.I.O. to recieve a developing human personality, rather than a fixed code.

He's also a curious AI, seen in his attempts to do anything a human would do. This includes pranks, near-death experiences, and crossdressing.

Name: Ririchiya Akiyama
Appearance:
(Image)
Gender | Sex: Female/Female
Age: 19
Personality: She can be bitter, hold grudges, and become very irritated very easily. Of course, all of this can be solved with a bit of bribery and the latest yuri publication passed under the table. Yes, she's an absolute Yuri fangirl, and we're pretty sure the goggles never come off. Beware, for she is dangerously genre savy.
Brief Biography: Riri grew up as the daughter of small town shop keepers, who generally pedalled in the goods you'd usually find in a rural general store. What ended up dragging her into the books business was a carelessly tossed aside magazine containing *ahem* various subject matters. It sort of all went downhill from there. Eventually, what few books she could get her hands on in her small town weren't enough, so what better place to go to find what she was looking for than to work at a bookstore in the city. She can generally be found either working, or drooling over a favorite book of hers in a secluded corner.

All accepted, I'll plop these in the "Meet the Staff!" tab, and will actually get an app up before days end. Then, tomorrow, IC shall begin. [/shy]

Also, um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Whatever sponsored?

So is Astra denied, for now? I'll probably work up a new character if that is the case. Start with a new set of building blocks, rather than run my wheel in circles.

[The Templar High Council]

Name: Yoshi Kanegawa

Appearance:

Gender|Sex: Male|Male

Age: 18, almost 19

Personality: Devoted, courageous, honorable. These are but a few of the qualities of a Data Knight.

Yoshi is not these things. But he's working on it. He's got the courageous part down, but it's mostly chalked up to brave stupidity. He's loyal to his friends, and always prepared to stand up for himself and others, as long as they deserve the help. Despite his somewhat delinquent appearance, he's actually quite friendly to most people. Though he can be intimidating at times, not entirely on purpose.

Brief Biography: Years ago, Yoshi was an average boy. Aside from his ostentatious hair and above-average strength, not much separated him from your average middle schooler. Then one day, he came home to see his parents absent. In their stead was his uncle Kyle, who took the boy in and began to train him. Train him in what, you may ask?

Kyle Kanegawa was a member of the Order of Techknowledge, that of the Data Knights. They fancied themselves to be the defenders of Sunset Gates, and everywhere else, from the fantastical creatures that tried to destroy it. Since Yoshi's parents were gone, Uncle Kyle took care of him and raised him as a son, with partial training from his order. By the time he entered high school, he had attained the rank of Squire. Which means practically nothing. But he carried it with pride, as he went to school and eventually applied to work at a local bookstore. As a Squire, he can create small projections using a sort of "mental implant" that I don't feel like trying to explain. And I don't think I want to give him anything else that could cause problems. Yet.

Fun Fact: Then entire app was derived from the image.

Name: Kieran Aegon Vestis

Appearance:

Appearance

Apparel

Gender | Sex: Male | Male

Age: 17

Personality: Imagine a high school freshman with incredible intellect and a knack for blasting aliens into pieces, and you have Kieran Vestis. A borderline hyper socialite with a penchant for childlike jokes and a simplistic sense of humor, Kieran simply seeks to enjoy life as it goes, and help others do the same. He can often be considered immature, childish, or simply plain-old annoying, but he has a certain sense of charisma to his walk and talk, and he can be quite endearing at times. He's always open to discussion, debate, and simple talking should one feel the need to adopt a more serious tone, though he has trouble not attempting to slip a joke or two in when he really shouldn't. Often found perusing the non-fiction(specifically historical), science fiction, and historical fiction sections.

Brief Biography: Kieran's a bit of an oddity when it comes to how he entered Sunset Gates. He was, as it were, in another dimension. Whilst aboard the Argo II, better known to others as the Last Seed Ship, Kieran began to fall in love with some of the older history books in the archives, especially those that actually had physical copies, which were precious few. As he became more and more infatuated with the characters, the stories, and the context of it all, he became more and more tied to a quaint little spot in a city named Sunset Gates. The spot happened to be Compass Books. One day, before daily scheduled training aboard the Argo, Kieran was sucked through an inter-dimensional warp and transported to Sunset Gates. His memory was wiped and seemingly replaced, and in this dimension he was apparently a student at Sunset Gates Academy, studying International Relations. To fill his space between classes, Kieran found a spot - perhaps fatefully - called Compass Books within the city. He spent more and more time there as a customer before finally making the decision to apply for a staff position.

EDIT: If this isn't acceptable, I'll certainly make a new character.

Age: 21
Personality: Not very nice. She can, and will, chew you out for the slightest things. Kinda like me IRL, really: always pissed, overly dramatic, and constantly in search of sleep. Unlike me, she has no filters because yay interwebz. Hence, she will not hesitate to constantlynremind you how superior she is to your sorry ass.
Brief Biography:-nameless- grew up as pretty much any typical problem child would, if said child also happened to be the daughter(and heiress) to the ruling family of a Japanese megacorporation. She was raised from birth with a silver spoon in her mouth, and though she somehow managed to qvoid any kind of disfigurement or speech impediments, the effects definitely showed. Arrogance, reckless disobedience - the whole nine yards. She fought with her parents, her parents fought back, and, gradually, her parents seemed to be winning. They successfully reigned in her teenage hormones with a combination of bribery and overt threats, at least somewhat controlling the direction of her impulses, if not their strength or frequency. They congratulated themselves for a while, until they realized that neither party had grown any more friendly and promptly packed her off to a college in America. THAT was their big mistake. America is nothing like Japan, after all - not onlyndoes it have looser social restrictions, it also has legalized marijuanna! Not that -nameless- would ever consider it, her sense of class superiority being one of the few things her parents had succesfully wrought, but she didn't have a choice. Her history had already led her to make all the wrong friends, and one night, in the midst of a particularly wild party, one of them tricked her into trying an especially delectable baked treat, that just so happened to be laced with a healthy dose of the "raddest thing you'll ever try." Well, if one takes "rad" to be a contraction of "radiation", then one might be right. The overdose wasn't fatal, thank Satan for that, but it did leave her brain damaged in a rsther peculiar way. There was no loss of intelligence or change in personality, except what might be expected from such a betrayal, but she did end up cursed with the twin defects of insomnia and severe narcolepsy(though some claim her sleep-deprived and sleepy states should count as bipolar disorder). Her parents were sorely disappointed, and after one too many heated arguments over long distance call, she was disowned and left to her own devices in the city of her alma mater, Sunset Gates. Don't get the wrong idea, though, her parents aren't completely heartless. They left her several million in trust, because heaven forbid their daughter dirty her hands working for the filthy gaijin. She took the money and the freedom with a bit less grief than warranted, and resolved to settle into her new life. First order of business? Find a good cafe, and then maybe a bookstore or two.

The spot happened to be Compass Books. One day, before daily scheduled training aboard the Argo, Kieran was sucked through an inter-dimensional warp and transported to Sunset Gates. His memory was wiped and seemingly replaced, and in this dimension he was apparently a student at Sunset Gates Academy, studying International Relations. To fill his space between classes, Kieran found a spot - perhaps fatefully - called Compass Books within the city. He spent more and more time there as a customer before finally making the decision to apply for a staff position.

EDIT: If this isn't acceptable, I'll certainly make a new character.

Brief Biography:-nameless- grew up as pretty much any typical problem child would, if said child also happened to be the daughter(and heiress) to the ruling family of a Japanese megacorporation. She was raised from birth with a silver spoon in her mouth, and though she somehow managed to qvoid any kind of disfigurement or speech impediments, the effects definitely showed. Arrogance, reckless disobedience - the whole nine yards. She fought with her parents, her parents fought back, and, gradually, her parents seemed to be winning. They successfully reigned in her teenage hormones with a combination of bribery and overt threats, at least somewhat controlling the direction of her impulses, if not their strength or frequency. They congratulated themselves for a while, until they realized that neither party had grown any more friendly and promptly packed her off to a college in America. THAT was their big mistake. America is nothing like Japan, after all - not onlyndoes it have looser social restrictions, it also has legalized marijuanna! Not that -nameless- would ever consider it, her sense of class superiority being one of the few things her parents had succesfully wrought, but she didn't have a choice. Her history had already led her to make all the wrong friends, and one night, in the midst of a particularly wild party, one of them tricked her into trying an especially delectable baked treat, that just so happened to be laced with a healthy dose of the "raddest thing you'll ever try." Well, if one takes "rad" to be a contraction of "radiation", then one might be right. The overdose wasn't fatal, thank Satan for that, but it did leave her brain damaged in a rsther peculiar way. There was no loss of intelligence or change in personality, except what might be expected from such a betrayal, but she did end up cursed with the twin defects of insomnia and severe narcolepsy(though some claim her sleep-deprived and sleepy states should count as bipolar disorder). Her parents were sorely disappointed, and after one too many heated arguments over long distance call, she was disowned and left to her own devices in the city of her alma mater, Sunset Gates. Don't get the wrong idea, though, her parents aren't completely heartless. They left her several million in trust, because heaven forbid their daughter dirty her hands working for the filthy gaijin. She took the money and the freedom with a bit less grief than warranted, and resolved to settle into her new life. First order of business? Find a good cafe, and then maybe a bookstore or two.

The quote, in your signature...

I like it. I'm actually using that poem in a short story I'm writing for school, it's one of my favorites. Someday I'll have it memorized. Someday. XD

Hrm, I didn't know bowing and kissing was part of a celwbrated poem

In all honesty, I think Poe is the greatest of the earky American writers. The quote itself is meant to reflect the intagibility of these internet personas.

How relaxed this RP will be, Shy? Do we have limits on what we can and we can't do?

Plan is pretty fucking relaxed, with minimal grimdark/major arcs. Literally, a slice o' life pie.
