Since I'm allowed one extra character here he is:

Name: John Dopplerman
Age: late 40's
Role/Position: regular customer
Appearance: tall, with gray hairs, and some wrinkles showing on his pale face. He usually wears something along the lines of a light blue short sleeve shirt, with 3 horizontal lines near the top, khakis, and a fanny pack.

Belongings: HIs fanny pack that seems to be able to hold more things than it's own size.

Skills: cost-saving, haggling, bargain shopping, weird random knowledge, minor DIY knowlegde
Weaknesses: bills, high costs, foreign languages

Personality: In short, the man is a cheapskate. He tries to save as much money as possible, and this descends into all sorts of antics. His personality is that of a middle-aged suburban dad. If you havent seen the "Progressive can't stop you from becoming your parents" commercials, look them up, that's basically him.
Likes: saving money, his family, a good bargain
Dislikes: expensive things
Goals: to save enough money to give his family a good life
Fears: price mark-ups

Misc. he occasionally is able to haggle the sales staff into lowering the price a dollar or two, and if anything in the store needs fixing, he will claim his handyman abilities, and offer to fix it in return for a discount.

Biography: John grew up normally, in a normal suburban household. He went to community college, got married, got a job at a bank, and had 4 kids. It all changed when he got laid off, and his wife was promoted to a job in Indianapolis. He was left home to take care of the kids, ages 17, 15, 11, and 7.

This is when his already cheap nature kicked into overdrive, and he began all sorts of schemes, and side hustles. He also discovered the cheap prices at Wondermart, and became a regular. Since his kids are in school, and his wife is at work most of the day, he just hangs around the store for a few hours each day.

RP EXAMPLE: Already linked in first character app.

Postby Phoenxia » Tue Feb 01, 2022 8:01 pm

Name:Olivia Hensel
Age:19
Role/Position: Alex’s Girlfriend
Appearance:
Image

Belongings: not important

Skills:not important
Weaknesses:not entirely important

Personality: bubbly with bitchy undertones, not extremely heartfelt
Likes: Alex, Shopping, Partying
Dislikes: Personalities that mirror hers *cough cough*, might come into rp later
Goals: She’s crazy about the idea of marrying Alex in the near future.
Fears: (OPTIONAL)

Misc. She really likes visiting Alex at work or practice, whenever she can.

Biography: Olivia was born in the Greater Lansing Area, which is also where her current significant other, Alex Lindemann is from. While they didn’t go to the same high school, they met in the summer before college during move-in at the beginning of August.

They quickly fell for each other, and now they’re in a serious relationship. They plan to stay in plainview for the summer so Alex can make money.

RP EXAMPLE: Olivia walked into 1309 with an exaggerated female swagger, taking off her sunglasses in a fluid motion. She spotted her target at register #12. She hid blushing as he made eye contact with her.

“Liv, you know I’m not on break yet. Can you wait just fifteen minutes while I finish up?” Alex bagged a set of groceries.

“Yeah, I guess,” she sighed and sat on a bench across from him, smiling promiscuously.

Name: Daphne McKinley
Age: 25
Role/Position: Part-Time Sales Associate (tuesday - wednesday - thursday opens)
Appearance: At six feet tall, she stands out a lot more in Indiana than she did in her home country and a more muscular build doesn't help that either. She's 160lbs and almost no fat from frequent exercise. A mild fire about a six months ago has her trying to grow her strawberry blonde hair back out and right now it sits at a kind of chaotic chin length. She has intense green eyes and a face on the rounder side of conventionally attractive. At work she sticks with jeans, red nike shoes and the rest of the uniform but she wishes she could explore a bit more of her fashion sese on the job. She almost always wears a massive clump of rubber pride bracelets as well and prominently displays a rotating collection of pronoun pins.

Belongings: iphone 12, wallet, keys for her house and a couple of cars, a high-vis crossbody bag with "student driver" printed on it, various multitools and pocket knives, an irish driver's license, an american driver's license, various immigration documents

Skills: Daphne is well versed in computers and has a keen interest in IT, she's diligent and thorough in her work, she does her best to get along with people around her. ask her about cars and driving if you want to hear her at her most passionate
Weaknesses: she's hotheaded, though not necessarily from ego; she isn't used to customer service at all; she doesn't really care about the job; she's much more interested in things outside of work

Personality: firey and competitive, Daphne isn't afraid of confrontation. she's good natured, but she expresses her fondness for people with a casualness that some find disrespectful.
Likes: anime, competitive magic the gathering, japanese cars, racing, classic punk, hockey
Dislikes: fake people, having to work retail, people who get in her way
Goals: have something to fall back on for spending money, just kind of vibe and try not to get fired. compete with an international rally license.
Fears: Truly the only thing she fears is failure. Daphne firmly believes she can do or can overcome anything.

Misc. Daphne is trans! She's trying to advance a career in rallying and competes in the AMA in the open AWD class. She also speaks with an Irish accent.

Biography: Daphne McKinley was born in Killarney, Ireland and lived there until around four years ago. Having not pursued higher education up to that point, she took advantage of her mom moving to Indiana to teach botany at Purdue as a fresh start. Her dad, however, had to pack up his entire operation building and restoring rally cars, and is doing his best to reestablish and support his daughter's racing career. She graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering earlier this year and is mainly working at WonderMart to support her hobbies and have some spending money.

Having no retail experience beyond a month or two spent working at big Tesco between graduating school and being brought on full time in her dad's shop, Daphne is doing her best so far to adapt. When she's not at WonderMart, she's getting ready for the next rally event, playing magic at the game store, and trying her best to get an international rally license so she might be picked up by a WRC team.
