No anime knowledge needed, just a quick Google Images search. Turns out it's still from TYPE-MOON.

Alexander woke up from his slumber, but now he's on the roof of the bookstore. Extending his body parts via exercise is one way to be fit and stay fit for all the time. Of course, after that he went down to the bookstore and into the toilet, took a change clothes and his equipment of bathing in case he has to stays in the bookstore. A quick shower, ended, he went outside the toilet, now ready to do his job. As a staff.

He went to the alcove, looking to do some stuffs. Extremely fine and totally fit, he did another exercise, not noticing that Miku slept on the table.

Not noticing my ass. Nobody does that randomly, especially not next to pretty sleeping girls.

He might be in for a surprise when she wakes up. :p

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 by being maybe a little more than "social" in some ways and just talks to himself for conversation.Note: This sentence is atrocious. Not sure how to fix without complete restructure He doesent hold grudges and forgives people easily.

Though when he's thrown into a bad mood by his Bipolar Disorder, Gabriel basically becomes basically a different person. He's easily angered, moody,(Oxford Comma) and somber, looks depressed and a disgusting mess to even look at without themselves becoming sadNote: This sounds somewhat redundant, with two "looks" in the same sentence. Also is grammatically incorrect. 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 monthsMaybe a certain time of the month? Can't be Ms. for no reason... :p between each change. The longer it takes, the worse it gets between his mood swings.Structure implies the time between swings is getting worse, not the swings themselves The worst thing being that he knows it will happens, and tries to protect others from it when he thinks it will happen.Assuming previous sentence changed, this needs a verb tense change to past 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. Besides that, 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. Note: British spellings. Not necessarily bad, but kinda strange. I myself accidentally use them sometimes

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., yet he Already he knew his favourite place in the city, even if he would only go there that single time.Note: Previous edits are a matter of style. There are far simpler ways to fix that sentence, but I think this way flows best Strangely enough, 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. Indecisive. Could refer to the father or the son.

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,(Oxford Comma) and easily triggered. It wasnt like him, and he knew it. From there he went on with his mods (lel) going up and down. His normal happy self and abnormal depressed angry self.Sentence fragment, this has no verb and no predicate 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(Wrong principle. The PrinciPAL of a school is your PAL) 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.Merge these two sentences 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.

Red delineates things that should be added/changed/are spelled incorrectly, blue are my notes, and strikes indicate things to be removed.

Do not take this the wrong way. Remember, your style is always your own. Write how you wish, not how I tell you to. I intentionally avoided larger, stylistic suggestions for this reason. Lemme know if you want them anyway.

My dear fellows! After having been briefly out of action with large-scale projects, I have returned, my brain unclouded, my body... still sick but we're getting much better here, and my heart thirsting for adventure(because I spent too much time reading Sherlock Holmes while ill)! So I have created this!

(As far as I know, it's an original idea. I'm so proud of it. :blush:)

RP ASSISTANCE REQUESTtsk, tsk tops


Concept: Roleplay as a member of the Baker Street Irregulars--with Sherlock Holmes out of action!
Type of help wanted: I need review on the concept, so I can solidify it. I need someone to help me keep things in check so I don't go too crazy with it. And of course, I need players!
RP Type: Character
Detailed Description: In Conan Doyle's Victorian London, the capture of notorious criminals such as James Moriarty or Jefferson Hope is left up to one man. One man, with keen intelligence and a surprising ability to deduce the smallest, most seemingly insignificant or inexplicable things about someone simply by observing them. One man, and his best friend.

Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor John Watson.

They can't always solve the cases all on their own. Occasionally they need someone to slip in where they would be suspicious, someone that people would be careless about revealing information to. Someone like... an orphan child, perhaps? Thus enter the Baker Street Irregulars, a group of 'wharf rats' that Holmes pays to gather information where he cannot go.

"Children see all and know all. As an adult, not all doors are open to me. In the event I should encounter such a door, I call upon the Irregulars." --Sherlock Holmes explaining the concept to a new 'recruit'


It was a happy arrangement. Sherlock gained the assistance he sometimes required, the Irregulars received some of the money they needed to survive, and the cases were solved. Things were perfect... until now.

It is the aftermath of the events at the Reichenbach Falls. In a catastrophic fight with Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes has vanished, and is presumed dead. But without him, who will help solve the cases police cannot? Who will keep London safe from the likes of mysterious figures like the Watchman and the Shadow Thief? And what has changed about the police force? In the midst of these questions, in the middle of this turmoil, only one thing is certain...

It's up to the Irregulars now.

They can't always solve the cases all on their own. Occasionally they need someone to slip in where they would be suspicious, someone that people would be careless about revealing information to. Someone like... an orphan child, perhaps? Thus enter the Baker Street Irregulars, a group of 'wharf rats' that Holmes pays to gather information where he cannot go.

"Children see all and know all. As an adult, not all doors are open to me. In the event I should encounter such a door, I call upon the Irregulars." --Sherlock Holmes explaining the concept to a new 'recruit'


It was a happy arrangement. Sherlock gained the assistance he sometimes required, the Irregulars received some of the money they needed to survive, and the cases were solved. Things were perfect... until now.

It is the aftermath of the events at the Reichenbach Falls. In a catastrophic fight with Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes has vanished, and is presumed dead. But without him, who will help solve the cases police cannot? Who will keep London safe from the likes of mysterious figures like the Watchman and the Shadow Thief? And what has changed about the police force? In the midst of these questions, in the middle of this turmoil, only one thing is certain...

It's up to the Irregulars now.

After having been briefly out of action with large-scale projects, I have returned, my brain unclouded, my body... still sick but we're getting much better here, and my heart thirsting for adventure(because I spent too much time reading Sherlock Holmes while ill)! So I have created this!

(As far as I know, it's an original idea. I'm so proud of it. :blush:)

RP ASSISTANCE REQUESTtsk, tsk tops


Concept: Roleplay as a member of the Baker Street Irregulars--with Sherlock Holmes out of action!
Type of help wanted: I need review on the concept, so I can solidify it. I need someone to help me keep things in check so I don't go too crazy with it. And of course, I need players!
RP Type: Character
Detailed Description: In Conan Doyle's Victorian London, the capture of notorious criminals such as James Moriarty or Jefferson Hope is left up to one man. One man, with keen intelligence and a surprising ability to deduce the smallest, most seemingly insignificant or inexplicable things about someone simply by observing them. One man, and his best friend.

Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor John Watson.

That's all you have to say on the matter? *scoffs*


Scarf, you've disappointed me.

Well, it seems like a rather solid concept, one tht can be a good mystery of the week thread with an overarching story of finding out what exactly happened at Reichenbach, with perhaps the twist that Sherlock is still alive.

Overall, it's interesting.

I'm assuming you're going to need help with the creating of new mysteries...

Yes, that would be appreciated. Devious criminals best criminals.


I'm thinking of this for an app:

Code: Select all
[align=center][size=150][b][u]Irregular Occurrences Application[/u][/b][/size]
(delete everything in parentheses, this message included)
[img]Insert image URL here[/img][/align]

[b]Name:[/b] (First name, last name, middle name if you've got one, this shouldn't be too hard.)

[b]Irregular Alias:[/b] (Irregulars often have a code name, although some prefer to use their real name. What do the other Irregulars know you as?)

[b]Age:[/b] (How many years have you been alive? 10 to 18, preferably on the younger side.)

[b]Sex:[/b] (Y'know. Are you a male or a female? Biologically. I'm afraid that there is no official option to identify as a different gender--although you may if you wish, but this is Victorian London, after all.)

[b]Biography:[/b] (What has your life been like? Did it totally suck? Was it okay? What secrets do you hold in your past? ...Just tell me what's happened in your past, mkay? Should include how you joined the Irregulars. I say 'should' but I really mean 'must'.)

[b]RP Example:[/b] (Links to specific posts, please.)

[b]Theme Song:[/b] (A nice, optional sort of thing.)

I can't tell if that's a happy question about my post or an annoyed question...

If happy, then yes. If annoyed, then no...
