And class, the lesson we learn here is not to google anything Mirakai says. Ever.


We also learn that Temp can into apathy, which is a very important skill to have. Apathy will get you absolutely nowhere in life, but boy is it fun to express.

No, Temp can actually create more than one character.

Hey, that's not fair! I'll have you know I've been branching out quite a bit lately.

Do you need links to RPs I'm in where she doesn't exist at all? Would you prefer to take my word for it? Or are you going to continue believing in a stereotype that's about as correct as 'blondes are dumb'?

Pretty terrifying, isn't it?

[The Templar High Council]

Believe me.

Pretty terrifying, isn't it?

I prefer the term... "novel" or "interesting".

I wouldn't want it to happen, but it would certainly be an event if it did.

"Once upon a time, there was a bookstore."

[Empire of Donner land]

Name: Gabriel Young
Appearance: Gabriel Young
Gender | Sex: M | M
Age: 23
Personality:
Gabriel is a light hearted kind of person when he's in his good mood, he's happy, even sometimes elated for no reason, he teases people, laughs and even gives a hug or two. In short, he's a person who invades others personal spaces trying make friends being maybe a little more than "social" in some ways and just talks to himself for conversation. He doesent hold grudges and forgives people easily.

Though when he's thrown into a bad mood by his Bipolar Disorder, Gabriel becomes basically a different person. He's easily angered, moody and somber, looks depressed and a disgusting mess to even look at without themselves becoming sad. His work suffers and he loses interest in anything he's doing. This change from "Mr. Nice Guy" to "Ms. Moody" is sudden or happens months between each change. The longer it takes, the worse it gets between his mood swings. The worst thing being he knows it happens, and tries to protect others from it when he thinks it will happen. He believes nothing can help it.

Besides his mood changes, Gabriel enjoys reading books to take his mind off things, his favourite being Fantasy Novels as it takes him away from the real world. He reads whatever catches his eye besides that. He tries to stay away from romance as it reminds him his disorder isn't exactly attractive. Besides all this, he manages to function somewhat normally in society and the bookstore as he has managed to hide his disorder for now.

Brief Biography:

Gabriel was born a healthy and happy baby, normal in every way but one, his Family. Gabriel from birth to adulthood had to deal with an Eccentric Inventor Father, Penny Pinching cheapskate Mother, Sage Future Reading Grandmother and a Asshole Older Brother (who somehow was the only normal person in the House of five) while living in the city of Sunset Gates, a colourful place full of colourful people.

At the Age of 5, walking down the street with his Mother, he wandered into a bookstore, more specifically the Compass Bookstore. He was only there for a few minutes before his mother pulled him out, running almost, most likely from some of the high prices. Already he knew his favourite place in the city even if he would only go there that single time. It was love at first sight strangely enough. At his 8th Birthday, after blowing out candles on the frosting covered cardboard cake, his Grandmother approached him with a strange look In her eye and said these words "You're not who you think you are." He was visibly shook form theses words until his Father pushed her out of the way and explained it was just "Mystical mumbo jumbo" being the man of science he was. The words still stuck with him.

It wasn't until his 13th birthday when he went through a bad time in his life that he realized what his Grandmother's words meant. His mood changed drastically and he was extremely depressed, angry for no reason and easily triggered. It wasnt like him, and he knew it. From there he went on with his mods going up and down. His normal happy self and abnormal depressed angry self. It took a toll on him emotionally until he was 17 and just learned to deal with it, beginning to shield the bad side of his personality from others to save them the trouble. Multiple times he was sent to the principles office for his breakdowns of anger. There he began hiding it but still his Bipolar Disorder, as it was diagnosed, came out during his time on the job. He was fired from multiple jobs for bursting out in anger when he didn't mean to.

Now the age of 23, Gabriel now has worked at Compass books for less than a few days. Trying his best to hide the dark side of himself and keeping a happy smile on for the customers and his coworkers so he wouldn't lose another job.

"Once upon a time, there was a bookstore."

Here's the map and stuff if you want it, I posted it a while back but I dunno if you saw it.

[align=center][size=200][b][color=#FF8000]Welcome to Sunset Gates![/color][/b][/size][/align]


[align=center][spoiler=Map][img]http://i1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii487/atlannia/Sunset%20GatesMost%20Recent_zpseribhpga.png[/img][/spoiler][spoiler=the city at a glance]"It is, in every sense of the word an average city. It is of average size and population density and neither a surprising number of, nor significant deficit of notable landmarks. In terms of historic incidents there were two large fires, one 47 years ago and one 156 years ago, both resulting in significant death tolls as employees appeared to have been trapped in the Welkynde building where the fire began. Sunset Gate's baseball team, the Sunset Angels, is currently ranked fifth in their regional league, which they have won three times, the seventh most out of the thirteen teams that participate. The city council has just this year earmarked a not insignificant sum for the improvement of the main street, which the residents hope will attract more small businesses. The city has perhaps slightly more cafes than one might expect for a city of its size, although it has only one really good Italian restaurant and its three Chinese restaurants are all mediocre at best.”
[i]-A happy citizen-[/i]

[b]Districts[/b]
Sunset Gates is divided into to four large districts, each with its own unique charms and facilities.

[list][*][b]Shining Hearts Park.[/b] An amalgamation of most of Sunset Gates suburbs and development projects, Shining hearts is a residential area that houses over 70% of the city's population. To support the families that live there Shining Hearts is home to two high schools, The well regarded but affordable J.R Valinwood High, named for the city's third mayor and the oldest school in the city. On the western side of the park is Western District High, an underfunded public school that houses lower income students and often accepts expellees from the other two schools, its students are frequently regarded as delinquents by the more conservative bodies of the populace.


[*][b]The business district.[/b] The bustling, beating heart of Sunset Gates, The business district plays host to several important company buildings, including the headquarters of the Welkynde group, the city's tallest building. The business district is also home to Main Street, a charming road that runs along the river and houses many delightful restaurants, cafes and specialist retailers. Whether its a shopping spree, a night out on the town, or just a bit of people watching and gossip, Main street is the place to be! The Grand Civic Theatre is also in the business district. Although no longer operational the theatre has been protected from redevelopment by its heritage listing and local pressure groups and remains an impressive example of art deco architecture.


[*][b]Arlington[/b] The second of the city's residential areas, Arlington is more upmarket, featuring plenty of beautiful riverside houses and several gated communities. It also plays host to the Welkynde manor, the celebrated private residence of Sunset Gates' wealthiest family. The manor is a draw for architecture enthusiasts and pictures can be taken from the entrance. Visitors are strongly urged not to enter the estate itself however as the Welkynde family do not habitually host guests. The city's only private school. The prestigious and highly ranked Werthords Academy, is located in the centre of Arlington. Originally an all-boys school, the academy became co-ed only 32 years ago, it enjoys a proud tradition of success in academic, athletic and extra-curricular pursuits.

Just outside Arlington is Victor Welkynde University, a small but well regarded private institution founded in 1873 by member of the wealthy Welkynde family who was prominent in academics. To this day the Welkynde family is a frequent and magnanimous patron to the university. In recent years the university has begun accepting state funding to expand its programs to include more practical degrees and cater to lower income students, with a range of grants, scholarships and student loan assistance programs that have been mostly successful, although there is a certain amount of cultural tension between the traditional, wealthier students and the newcomers.


[*][b]The industrial zone[/b] Although now in decline, Sunset Gates once maintained a thriving manufacturing industry. Much of the city's industry has shut down or moved to cheaper locales however the zone is still host to a few small factories and a state of the art power plant, jointly owned by the state government and the Welkynde group. As large sections of the industrial zone are abandoned and in disrepair rumours abound that local hoodlums use it as a makeshift training ground, honing their combat skills for inevitable skirmishes with other gangs.

[*][b]The Rits[/b] Not a true district of the city. The Rits is the two blocks that stand between RItters Street and Sunset Gates' Chinatown, Peking St. Distinctly low market as compared to the rest of the business district, the Rits is somewhat shabby and the lower rent prices allow more exotic and cheaper businesses to flourish. Many contend that the vast majority of these businesses are fronts for illegal activity and its certainly true that the majority of drugs, vice and organised crime busts made in Sunset Gates occur in or around the Rits however its defenders argue that it is a unique cultural melting pot that lends the city a much needed dose of authenticity. It’s certainly true that, as long as you don't mind the smell of cigarettes the Rits is far and away the best place to indulge in foreign cuisine, with restaurants and eateries from Eastern Europe, India and Thailand and Vietnam all vying for customers alongside each other. Attempts to enforce the cities no tolerance policy towards smoking in restaurants and cafes has proven wild unsuccessful.[/list]

[b]Transportation[/b]

Most citizens and visitors opt to take advantage of the well-developed road network and get about Sunset Gates by car. However an able bus network also serves the city, buses can be taken to and from most places in the city and one of the new mayors earliest policies was to extend their running times from 9:00p.m until 3:00 am, allowing safe and cheap transversal of the city at all hours. Taxis are also available at all hours from the Sunset Taxi Company and boating up and down the river remains a popular leisure activity.[/spoiler][spoiler=History]Uncertain.[/spoiler][/align][hr][/hr]
