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.Altito Asmoro wrote:Here is my staff's app.Name: Alexander Lee

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.

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?Sonitusia wrote:Couldn't decide on who to use...Name: B.I.O. Prototype 3729

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.North Arkana wrote:Name: Ririchiya Akiyama

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]
