FURINKAZAN ~ A WBW Production [sign-ups]

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Name: Kazejii Yuko

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Yuko stands at around 5 feet 2 inches, her eyes shine a pale blue colour with a tiny tinge of black around the edges. She has medium length dark black hair. She also likes to wear a darkish green bereau (sp?) that sits neatly on the back left part of her head. It is decorated with a single red bow across the top.

Personality: Yuko is a very polite person, very rarely likes to get on someone’s bad side. She also has a very bad tendency to say sorry over and over again when she has done something wrong (even something minor like accidently bumping into someone). Other then that Yuko is a pretty fun person to be around with because she is always making people laugh with her upbeat thinking style.

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

School: Furin

Power: Familiar

Power Description: Yuko’s familiar stands about 15 metres tall and resembling a humanoid but it has 6 arms. But its top right and left arms are shaped like hands but on its shoulders are two giant wings that are shaped like claws, that when activated fall down over the hands of the mecha and double as giant claws that it uses to crush metal amongst other things. The mecha itself is normally a pale white colour with a blood red insignia on the left side of its chest which looks like a 4 pointed ninja star. But when the claws come down the mecha turns a deep redish orange colour while the insignia turns dark black. Also when the mecha is near water it can suck up water and store it into a tank from which it can blast out a cannon in its top left arm.

Background/History: Yuko had pretty much a normal upbringing being the middle child of 3 children, she had a life of quiet seclusion from the rest of the family as she wasn’t old enough to get all the new stuff so she suffered with hame-downs and getting everything second best. Nor was she young enough to get all her parents attention so she had to find a way to make her own entertainment. (I know that I really suck at writing a history)

Other: Friends with Hotaru Inoue, Naoko Kuchiki and Rika Satou if that’s ok with Weaz and Toxicity

[Weasel Overlord]

S'fine by me, Elfy! ^_^ Also, I see your sign up, and I... approve it. Yes.

My mind is warped after watching those videos... DAMN YOU BOX!!! -_-

*staggers off to make NPC Lounge*

[Toxicity]

Oh sure, Elf; that's fine with me, too!

[Crystal Tears]

Name: Satou, Rika 砂糖梨花
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: She has short, chin length black hair where the back is tapered/layered to create a sort of slightly spiky look. Her bangs are roughly and unevenly cut, however, done in such a way they look rather good instead of horrid. Rika stands at five foot five with a lean body and tan skin. Her eyes are a bright, fierce green with a sort of light blue/turquoise ring around the outside. Rika's blazer is very customized; the arms are cut short and end about half down her upper arm, with white arm warmers that come down from her elbows. On the wrists the armwarmers have two black stars on either one; her customized blazer has the same two stars nicely sewn into the back of the blazer. Her trousers are one size to big and hang down sort of low, usually meaning her white shirt underneath her blazer never quite reaches her pant line. The blazer itself is cut shorter than most, it ends just before her bellybutton. Rika has a rather thick black leather belt holding up her trousers so they don’t fall any farther. Rika is always seen with her semi-larger, white and lime green headphones and same coloured iPod. Oh, and she has a tie… She wears it loosely around her neck… But it’s there.
Outside of school, she usually wears baggy jeans, with a t-shirt overtop. Colder days call for a t-shirt with a long-sleeved one underneath.
Colours for School Uniform:
Blazer: THIS
Tie: THIS
Trousers: Black
Undershirt: White
Armwarmers: White and black
Personality: Rika is a relatively normal, average tempered girl. She doesn’t tend to talk much in class, seeking to keep her mind on the work rather than distractions. Outside however, she’s pretty balanced. She jokes around, and loves to have fun, though she rarely does anything that might get her in trouble. However, she is also a good listener and will be serious if the occasion calls for it. Rika is usually friends with everyone, being her personality if so versatile and flexible that she can adapt to anyone’s needs. However, as part as a negative to her personality, she’s secretive, and hardly ever has time for herself. She’ll put off her own problems to solve and be there for others.
School: Furin
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Power: Summon
Power Description:
In most cases, the Summon known as Soujikyuu (Gemini) almost always appears as a large, beacon of light either emerging from ground, or descending from the sky. No one save for Rika can stare directly into the light, and even than, it burns her eyes. The light, when descending from the sky, is pure white. It seems to reflect any other colour near its glow, and, just barely, extending from the right side, is two, angelic, feathered wings. When the light is coming from the ground, its black, and seems to absorb all the colour and light around it. Extending from the left side is two, wicked, batwings with torn webbing.
Soujikyuu seems to have some side effects, when the pure light emerges, Rika's allies tend to gain a boost of moral and confidence, and often that's all that is needed to tilt the balance. When the black light appears, Rika's allies grow angry, and their judgement is often thrown off, that is why most of the time Rika hopes for the pure light. (This effect eventually dissipates, all temporary boosts)

At this point in time, Soujikyuu only has one 'attack', and as always, it depends on the light. The white light calls for a protective shield (maybe of gold tinted wind) that stops most attacks from hitting Rika, or her allies if the summon deems it necessary. However, the black light will unleash a sweeping, dark wind with black feathers across the field that makes everyone sick, making it harder for them to dodge the debris blowing around.

The summon can switch in between black and white lights, however, it's side effects do not come when it does. Most of the time it won't, in battles, it will either take the role of defensive of offensive. The glowing orb is about six feet in diameter.

Background/History: To be revealed later… =P Cuz… I’m dead on my feet….
Other: She’s friends with everyone who goes to Furin. (If that’s alright with everybody…)

[Toxicity]

I'll edit your character in, too, CT. ^^

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

First host on-shift for GMT+0, clocking in.

CT: Sign-up is fine except that I am wondering what a tiger has to do with Gemini... yes, wind element noted, but the form of the summon.. eh... how about twin tigers?? Twin anythings?! To other hosts - if you think I am being too anal about the symbolism, go ahead and approve her in my stead. :x

[Crystal Tears]

Actually, its going on the idea of the nice 'twin' is Rika herself, while the mean twin is Shugorei. I didn't want to do the 'good side, bad side' summon idea because it's just to blantantly obvious...

[Shizo]

Since this has earned a second page, I'm reposting my now complete sign-up here. I'll probably add NPC profiles soon.

Name: Mihana Ami (family name first)
Age: 16
Gender: F
Appearance: She's standing at an impressive 5'7" with shoulder-length light brown hair and roughly cut bangs. Her eyes are a steely grey, and her skin is a pale tan color. Her expression is usually set in one of general distaste and loathing for the world and most of the individuals she's forced to share it with (more for the latter than the former). Her outfit outside of school is actually the boy's gakuran. She's occasionally tried wearing this during school as well, but is usually forced to change back to the girl's uniform. Her shoes appear to be fairly fashionable boots until you get kicked with them and learn they have steel toes.
Personality: She is a gang leader, a brawler, a person who loves getting into fights. She lives in the moment and rarely, if ever, considers consequences. She despises those weaker than her, but holds steadfastly to the bond she shares with those she chooses to trust.
School: Kazan
Zodiac Sign: Capricorn
Power: Magic
Power Description: Besides an odd manifestation of ram horns on her head when her battle lust has reached its height, she has the ability to alter friction. This means she can have traction on oilslicked ice or slide across asphalt. Initially, she can only affect herself or the things she touches, but she should soon be able to turn a room into a place where only she has sure footing.
Background/History: Her parents divorced when she was young, and she lives with her mother, who is usually so busy working that she barely had time to be with her daughter. Ami's reaction to this was to become a wild child, getting into fights and spats for the fun of it. She did try to make sure she got passing grades, but she has little to no respect for most of the faculty. In middle school she teamed up with her now BFF Kanama Chidori, earning a reputation of being one the toughest pair of fighters you could run into, girls or not. Most students fear her, and even teachers keep a respectful distance. After all, if she behaves at school, she's not their problem, right?
She rescued the third member of her impromtu gang from another group that had kidnapped her for her boyfriend's money (not out of any sort of altruism. She had just decided to kick their asses that day). She took her in to teach her to fight and stick up for herself, as Hoshino Kira was a rather timid and shy girl who couldn't even dream of raising a hand against someone before. She's still against just fighting someone for no good reason, but she'd definitely learning enough self-defense that you don't want to tangle with her.
Other: Has earned the nickname "Oni."

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

EDIT: Shizo - accepted :3

Okay. This is REALLY an NPC unlike my miko who turned out to be more in the category of 'random non NPC'. Made for backup purposes.

Name: Doumeki Kazuko
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance: 5'6", nice figure, large bust, perfect skin, beautiful face. Kazuko is Yamato Nadeshiko in terms of looks, at least. She has long, dark brown hair, parted in the middle, with two bangs tucked behind her ears that reach to past her shoulders. Her eyes are light chestnut brown. She can usually be seen in suits made to the latest fashion and colour, and heels. She uses just enough makeup to make her features stand out - a touch of lipstick, the faintest hint of mascara. There is a turquoise choker round her throat that seems to be made from the same kind of beads as her sister's rosaries. She seems, overall, like a nice onee-san.
Personality: She's very calm and puts people at their ease. Usually seen smiling, and not the unsettling smile that her sister has, either. She exudes this wise and zen-like aura that would be quite odd on someone of her relatively tender years if you didn't know that she used to be a miko.
School: None. Ex-Kazan.
Background/History: She is Yumi's prettier, more miko-like older sister. Currently working as an associate in a typical accounting office. Many men are currently trying to court her. She lives with her grandmother and sister in the family shrine. When she was the miko of the shrine, she specialized in divination.
Other: I just felt like making this form. :p

[Weasel Overlord]

Just for neatness' sake: CT = approved! *flops into bed*

EDIT: People who have been approved = edited into first post. JB WOLF WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU! *pointedly glares* -_-

[darktyranitar]

Alright. So with the stuffs cleared up, here's my sign up.

I'm lazy with colours


Name: Sakaki Hideo

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Appearance: It is easy to mistake him as someone who is in their mid 40’s – with his unshaven face, dishevelled hair, and tired, bleary eyes contributing in giving him an old and haggard façade. He has admitted that this was due to his unhealthy lifestyle that he led – in eating, exercising, and the consuming alcohol and tobacco – that made him what he is now. He is working on kicking those habits, and with reasonable success.

His clothing consist of hakama (pic here), with the mandatory sandal. He is always spotted carrying either a book or a mug of coffee.

Personality: Hideo shows an obsession in magical symbols, chemistry, metal music and occultism, and he is most eager if one were to discuss any subjects related to the aforementioned categories with him. In spite of his peculiar nature, he is easy to approach; when talking of such subjects, he becomes rather animated, and he will usually talk in a fast and excited manner.

Hideo is generally described as someone who is ‘rather eccentric’, or, to put it more bluntly, ‘very weird’. This was quite true – and he does not reject the label – but no one has ever come to call him crazy. His knowledge – which consists of the previously mentioned subjects – as well as his occasional long, droning and yet enlightening talk (which he refers as random musing) is enough as proofs that there is more to him than just a crazy man down the hall.

When he is not strolling through the school, he can be found either reading in the library, or seated at one corner of the cafeteria (usually asleep).

School: Furin, as your friendly neighbourhood janitor. Or something like that.

Background/History: Some regarded him as a hapless homeless man, while some have refers to him as the school’s janitor. The latter term is widely accepted to be his profession; there weren’t any other janitors that could be seen in the vicinity of the school. And besides, the school maintain a good hygiene status under his care (how or when he carried out the task of cleaning the school was a mystery though).

Many different stories of the origin of Hideo have circulated among the school’s community, but the actual story of his life goes like this: He was born in a Christian family. He studied at public schools just like his fellow peers, and when he was eighteen, he went abroad – to Britain – to further his study in Moral Sciences. There, he was involved in some occult group. He remained in Britain for a long time after his first involvement with the group – he decided to abandon his study and pursue a path in occultism. Feeling that there wasn’t much to do in Britain anymore, he returned to Japan, where he continues to persist in the path of occultism.

But of course, no one knows about this; no one bothered to ask him, after all.

Other: He is very fluent in English (assuming that we are, you know, speaking in Japanese, but posted here in English... you get the idea).

Also, Aleister Crowley was one crazy guy.

[EngiMatikul]

dt: Haha, I like your character. I sense much funness coming out of him. Approved.

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

Name: Gou Ushitaros
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Short with wide shoulders, Ushitaros barely tops the five foot mark. His broad, stocky build is equal parts muscle and fat and is as strong as he looks. Round faced with somewhat plain features, his dark brown hair cut in short, though two of his bangs are slightly longer and stick up like ‘horns’. His eyes are normally a dark brown in color, though after his powers awaken his eyes seem to darken to pitch black when he grows angry or stressed. Wears the normal Kazan gakuran with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow and a bright red armband on his left arm marking him as captain of the kendo team. Out of school he can normally be found wearing either a plain white gi or a dark green shirt with white trim, jeans and sneakers.
Personality: A responsible young man, Ushitaros is the epitome of the dutiful son and student. He is always polite and respectful, even towards those who insult him. He views himself as a follower of bushido ‘the way of the warrior’ with himself as a servant of the school. Any implications that he or the school is in someway dishonourable/evil are met with challenges and anger. Despite being captain of the kendo team, Ushitaros does not view himself as a great leader nor does he actually wish to lead.
School: Kazan
Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Power: Familiar
Power Description: Ushitaros' familar takes the form of a massive armored bull that stands about as tall as a small house. It's back is a bright red and it's shoulders, wrists, and ankles are banded in gold. It can switch between it's normal beast form and a bipedal 'warrior' form. While in beast form, the bull called Titan, is limited in its attacks but is much faster and tougher than its warrior form. In warrior form, Titan can utilize all his weaponry including a large axe that sprouts from his shoulder (Horn Axe), bursts of lightning from its horns (Voltic Burst), and fire a burst of condensed gravity from its right arm (Gravity Bomber). As time goes on, more powers may be unlocked. When not in used, Ushitaros' familiar turns into a pendant with the face of a bull on it that he keeps in his pocket.
Background/History: To be finished...
Other:

Name: Gou Ookami (Usually referred to by his name in English ‘Wolf')
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Wolf is darkly tanned with a solid muscular build. Fairly tall for his age, he stands almost a full foot taller than his younger brother Ushitaros. He has messy, auburn hair that falls just beneath his chin and for some odd reason tends to lean towards the right. Eyes are a nice hazel color and are sometimes hidden by a pair of bright red shades that Wolf seems to be able to pull out of nowhere. His gakuran coat is much longer than normal, the hem ragged from wear falling somewhere around his ankles. He normally keeps it open and wears a bright red shirt underneath it. He usually wears it even when out of school, though sometimes he swaps it for a brown leather bomber jacket with a flaming skull sewn on the back. Strangely he also enjoys wearing the uniform cap. Will sometimes be seen wearing a red band on his arm and around his head when performing with the school Ouendan team.
Personality: Fiery, reckless and bluntly honest, Wolf is one rather to act first, think later. This, along with his temper, has earned him a reputation for being tactless and is seen as a delinquent by most of the faculty and student body. He’s also prone to sleeping and is well known for always being late. Despite his flaws, he has a good heart, a strong belief in justice, and can be quite chivalrous.
School: Kazan
Background/History: To be finished...
Other: Oddly, he speaks in Kansai-ben, specifically the Osakan dialect despite both his mother not coming from the region or even having actually BEEN to Osaka.

Yes...I know not even finished, but work and midterms are not nice things...

For Yi and those uninitated to Ouendan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n72Co7FkO4E

IT SEEMS THAT PJBW HAS MADE AN NPC FOR US TO PLAY WITH INSTEAD OF LETTING US PICK ON HIS ZODIAC--

Nice job PJBW, making the signups in the nick of time! Approved. :V

EDIT: WE NEED a policeman NPC.

Name: Zenigata Something.....I'll seriously think of this later. I'll even take suggestions.
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: A man with good posture. He has a fairly but not overly muscular build and always seems to be standing as if a seargant was staring down at him. His hair is short, ORANGE (-kun) and somewhat spiked. His eyes seem to always be giving the angry stare at whoever he's looking at. He seems ready to salute to you at any moment or time. He wears a casual gakuen suit like everyone else but for whatever reason he seems to look like a cop when he's in the suit. On his right arm has a band that says "Proctor" in big red letters on it. Also has a big black stick. But it's mostly to look intimidating, since he'd get expelled (or at least removed from his position) if he actually uses it to hit people with.
Personality: A man that wants order in everything. He's extremely strict and will not hesitate to go up to a random student just to shout at him for having his shirt crooked. He is the main proctor of the student council and is enraged that the rest of the council seems to not care about the situation the school is currently in. He makes drastic measures to try to resolve problems, which then are dumbed down by the council to prevent the school from turning into a prison. He believes that most of the doings are from Furin gang members and has currently enforced a law for the detainment of any Furin student seen on or near school grounds.
School: Kazan, as if you haven't figured it out already. :p
Background/History: The main school proctor/discipliner/police guy/whatever. His father was a military commander and his mother was a policewoman. Go figure.
Other: In spite of his seriousness he does have a hobby: he likes to collect and play trading card games. Currently he's into a TCG known as TPMRPGTCG. He's frustrated that the card he was eagerly awaiting for, a limited edition "Ban" character from the Rift Chronicles set, has its release been postponed indefinitely for 3 months and counting.

[Bulbasaur4]

Darn! I was hoping that this would have started by now so I could have quickly posted! Oh well... I'll hopefully find an internet port on Crete.

AHAHA! I wuv your sign up Faiz!

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

ohmygod. I laughed out loud in the college open access computer lab after reading through Boxo's police character especially the part with TPMRPGTCG. now all the people staidly typing their CVs, personal statements and whatnot are going to think I'm insane as well. Box Box make his surname Zenigata :D and yes... how nice we get a PJBW NPC to play with!

PJBW I SAW THAT OUENDAN VID SOME TIME AGO AND I AM SAD TO SAY THAT THEY WERE NOT ENERGETIC ENOUGH WITH THE CHEERING. Although the cosplay was spot on :D

Aleister Crowley was dreadfully spotted and slightly obese when he was a little boy and was overfond of peppermint lollies. Or at least he was in the graphic novel From Hell which is the extent of my knowledge of the man except that he made a lot of baloney about the Philosopher's Stone.

[EngiMatikul]

So...uh... I thought we would have started by now too, but, I guess due to the wonderful fact that the world is round... it seems we're being delayed a bit...unless WO is writing our RPG right now and going to post within the next hour or so...

[Shizo]

Late NPC sign-ups!

Name: Kanama Chidori
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Here. She prefers wearing provacative clothing and tries to make sure her bustline is low to show off her DD breasts, even in school. According to her "DD" stands for "Dooms Day."
Personality: She's usually very deadpan and stoic, but she does have a sense of humor (albeit a dark one) and is ready to laugh when the mood strikes her. She's the one most successful at keeping her BFF Ami in the planes of reality. She's the wingman and the darkness to Ami's flame.
School: Kazan
Background/History: Lives with her mother and father in an upscale apartment. In elementary school, she had been the toughest girl in her class. When entering middle school, she aimed to keep that title and took on any fighter or bully that dared suggest they were stronger. This led her to fighting Ami, who also had a reputation, though Ami wasn't fighting so much to keep it as to fight. They argue to this day who ultimately won that confrentation, but they began admiring the other so much they became fast friends and a huge terror to anyone that crossed their path.
Other: Is not beneath using any dirty trick she can, including her giant breasts.

Name: Hoshino Kira
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: I'll admit, I imagine her looking like this. She stands at around 5'5" and has a small bustline. Her clothing outside of school, if she changes, is usually a conservative light sweater and long skirts, though she's wearing pants more often to prevent getting constricted during fights.
Personality: Quiet and reserved, she's usually willing to go along with whatever her two friends suggest, though she will protest if she thinks a proposition is too outrageous. These protests are lessening as time goes on. She's the good girl who's "fallen into a bad crowd."
School: Kazan
Background/History: She lives with her mother, father, and younger brother in a nice house in the suburbs. She had, up until a year ago, been a very good girl i.e. she was quiet, kind, generous, nonconfrentational, and sweet. After her rescue from a Furin gang, she's been taken under Ami's wing and given tutalage on how to fight. While she is still quiet, kind, and generous, she's learned how to defend herself in a fight and has developed enough of a backbone that she can't truly be called a pushover anymore.
Other: She doesn't smoke like her comrades, but they don't mind since that means fewer cigarettes to buy.

[EngiMatikul]

NPC list up.
http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16908

Shizo: Well its already in the NPC list so your NPCs are approved. :V

If anyone wants to interact with a psychotic killer a young Furin schoolgirl they can do so.

Name: Kurasawa Mishio
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Semilong wavy hair, kind of a cloudy-bluish tint to it. Typically seen wearing a casual Fuijin outfit.
Personality: Normally, quite timid and shy, easily embarrassed and doesn't talk much. Seems to hold feelings for a particular upperclassman in the school. After the latest event, however, she seems significantly less approachable and appears almost spiteful at every glance, especially at those who have some relation to Kazan school. May have a tendency to go beserk.
School: Furin
Background/History: Zodiac Fodder don't really need a detailed history, but uh, normal schoolgirl, has crush, crush gets crushed, chaos ensues.
Other: She can summon a weapon, which at first appears to be a small hatchet. Although its small, it seems incredibly sharp and can slice through a tree like it was nothing. As her emotions get out of control, the hatchet can suddenly grow into a huge poll axe which can easily do significant damage around the area if you're not careful around her.

[Crystal Tears]

NPCness... Yay....

Name: Satou Yuki
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall, and slender. Yuki is that balance between masculine muscle and that ‘perfect lean’ most female’s dream off. His hair is shortly cut, and black, with bangs that sometimes cover his deep brown eyes. Yuki is almost always seen in a suit, preferring to dress professionally and never to be caught slouching around in comfortable wear. He’s fairly attractive, with slightly tanned skin and the like.
Personality: Outwardly, he’s polite, cheerful, and quite nice to be around. No one ever sees him differently save for his family. When he is around either of his siblings (especially Rika), he turns cold. Either he stops talking or will go out of his way to make them appear like idiots, though this rarely happens in public because he avoids them on a constant basis. He is only ever kind to them at home, and even than, the truce is fragile.
School: Kazan
Background/History: Yuki was the boy the Satou family adopted due to their inability to have a child. Due to that, they found him precious and chose to cherish (and spoil) him. However, by chance, Yuki’s mother became pregnant. At that point, everything started to change. They failed to pay attention to their son, and when Rika was born. Yuki was left in the dark for a while, and this abandonment only got worse when Matsu was born. As all Yuki had was his little sister who he despised.
Years later, he chose to go to Kazan, knowing full well everyone in his family wanted to go to Furin. (the Kazan vs Furin incidents have increased the Yuki vs Rika fight)
Other: He works at Kazan as an assistant to the teachers (running errands and the like). Oh err… Please don’t kill him (yet)

[Outlaw JT]

NPC

Name: Ikado Akaryou
Age: 17
Gender: male
Appearance: Tall, athletic, short well groomed black hair, sparkling green eyes, wears the typical Kazan school uniform but his has red dragons on the sleeves.
Personality: Cold, efficient, and slightly arrogant. He shows proper respect for the faculty but has no regard for his fellow classmates unless they do something to earn respect, whether academically or physically. He is very polite, however, almost to the point of it being scary.
School: Kazan
Background/History: He keeps his personal life completely isolated from his school life so no one really knows anything about his history save for himself and maybe one or two of Kazan's high level administrator's.
Other: Akaryou is captain of the Kazan martial arts team.

[classy_cat18]

Name: Itou Kasumi, or "Katana"
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Appearance: Youthful, despite a few laugh lines under her brown eyes. 5'9", hourglass figure that she usually hides with blue jeans and loose T-shirts, and pale skin. Her black hair goes down her back and is usually tied back by a white ribbon. It's not uncommon to see her with paint somewhere on her face (don't ask why).
Personality: Calmer than Cho, yet can wear a very menacing look when she's angry. Some people will find themselves under her piercing stare as she examines them from inches away. The incident at school has put her on edge and she's far from oblivious of the danger Cho could face, although she doesn't show it. Loves to have visitors over, seeing as her career has her interacting with others. Some of her expressions, especially those of anger and innocence, are very similar to her daughter's.
School: Neither
Background/History: Her former husband was a salaryman, expected to support both his wife and new daughter. Kasumi started painting for profit to help pay bills, but didn't see her works of art selling so much. Feeling shamed, the father (who shall remain nameless as far as Kasumi is concerned) left her. She moved to a new neighborhood, into a spacious house and bought a nearby building to use as a gallery. The attack that left Cho scarred also left Kasumi less trusting toward those her own age.
Other: Loves pocky and can be seen often with a piece in her mouth to help her concentrate or calm down.

[Bulbasaur4]

HERE IT IS... THE NPC OF TAGURI-CHAAAAAN~


Name: Kawatar Taguri
Age: 12ish
Gender: Female
Appearance: She has a cute, button-nosed face that is extremely acorn-shaped. Her skin is a milky white pale with a natural youthful blush, seemingly at all times that only gets redder in embarressing situations. Her hair is a deep blueish green, but it is so dark that it usually appears black without any light reflecting on it. Her eyes are a dark, honey-glazed brown. She's medium height for her age, but her frail stature makes her appear smaller than she actually is. Usually she is found wearing a simple blue dress with white patterned vines and flowers on it, even when working at the Kasai mansion. Her hair is always bound up into two ponytails, letting her hair dangle to her neck.
Personality: Extremely quiet in nature but naturally perceptive. She's easy to embarress and while her quiet nature makes her seem like she'd be shy, she's actually a medium dose between shy and outgoing. She tries to be responsible, but occasionally she tries to take things on that are bigger than herself. She's also a tad bit clutsy, but never in a loud clashing way.
School: She goes to the elementary school in the early mornings- a special private school for fragile people as herself.
Background/History: Her mother works as the head maid of the mansion and has often looked after Akio. Naturally the Kasai household allowed her daughter to work there as well to help Taguri-chan's mother out with money. While Taguri "works" in the mansion, she really doesn't work much which is perfectly fine to the Kasai. Her basic everyday activies is occasionally serving tea when guests are in the house (which never happens) or to Akio, simply because TAguri likes to find excuses to talk to Akio. She also occasionally goes to the grocery store or to the laundry mat to help pick up 'last minute' things for her mother and such.
Other: N/A

[Bulbasaur4]

WEEE... HOPE HE GETS ACCEPTED.

Name: Chiba Yuuto
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: *droolz* Yuuto looks like Frey from Alice 19th. His hairstyle is exactly the same, except instead of being blonde in color, his hair is a light sky-blue color that turns to a tiny bit darker shade of blue at the tips. His eyes are a striking sea-foam green, and seem slightly feminine with Yuuto's thick dark lashes. His skin has a faint flush of tan, so he's a little bit darker than the average person would be at school but not by much. Yuuto himself is quite tall, being about 6'4 in height with an athletic build to accompany it. (Again, Frey's body type.)

Personality: Yuuto is what he would call, "a free spirit." He is quite blunt in everything he says and has very little tact when it comes to almost anything. You can always count on him to get into some sort of trouble, and always never care what trouble he's in. He's not the type to bully anyone for 'that sort of trouble', but he is the type to gamble some sucker out of his money and such. He's very relaxed about things, which often annoys anyone who tries to 'discipline' him for whatever minor ruckus he causes, because he never shows any real fear or any ounce of caring. On the plus side, he's generally a nice person who doesn't try to hurt anyone's feelings.
School: Kazan
Background/History: Yuuto grew up in the rough part of the city, and his parents only recently came into enough money to move to a nicer part of the town. They decided to put him into Kazan, merely because the school was far more promising than Yuuto's old school and they hoped that Yuuto wouldn't get into nearly as much trouble as he used to. (Yuuto had gotten into a lot of fist fights and such... although Yuuto is more a of leg-user.) So, in that light Yuuto has been at Kazan for a year and a half, and already has quite the reputation of being the 'slacker' of the school and the troublemaker. Yuuto is not involved in any extra curricular activities, but usually stays a short while after school for some apparent reason.
Oddly enough, Yuuto has a huge fondness of alcohol and any sweet-tasting alcoholic beverages. One of the primary reasons he gets in trouble at school is because he always has a large bottle of some sort of alcohol with him at school- either in a pack or blatantly slung about his waist. Yuuto has a fast metabolism and an adaptive nature however, so he never seems drunk unless he brings two bottles of hard liquor to school.
Other: His favorite thing to drink or bring to school is Ouzo.

A RIVAL FOR ZENIGATA HAS APPEARED


Accepted. :V

[darktyranitar]

The revised sign up form for Hideo (figured I'd save you time from browsing through the page to read my sign up. Changes are in bold.):

Name: Sakaki Hideo

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Appearance: It is easy to mistake him as someone who is in their mid 40’s – with his unshaven face, dishevelled hair, and tired, bleary eyes contributing in giving him an old and haggard façade. He has admitted that this was due to his unhealthy lifestyle that he led – in eating, exercising, and the consuming alcohol and tobacco – that made him what he is now. He is working on kicking those habits, and with reasonable success.

His clothing consist of hakama (pic here), with the mandatory sandal. He is always spotted carrying either a book or a mug of coffee.

Personality: Hideo shows an obsession in magical symbols, chemistry, metal music and occultism, and he is most eager if one were to discuss any subjects related to the aforementioned categories with him. In spite of his peculiar nature, he is easy to approach; when talking of such subjects, he becomes rather animated, and he will usually talk in a fast and excited manner.

Hideo is generally described as someone who is ‘rather eccentric’, or, to put it more bluntly, ‘very weird’. This was quite true – and he does not reject the label – but no one has ever come to call him crazy. His knowledge – which consists of the previously mentioned subjects – as well as his occasional long, droning and yet enlightening talk (which he refers as random musing) is enough as proofs that there is more to him than just a crazy man down the hall.

When he is not strolling through the school, he can be found either reading in the library, or seated at one corner of the cafeteria (usually asleep).

School: Furin, as your friendly neighbourhood janitor. Or something like that.

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

Power: Summon

Power Description: A cancerous Cancer Cancer crab named Cliff (repetitions are fun! But, it’s quite true; this is what a Cancer crab is.

As the name suggests, this particular crab is of the Cancer genus, and it is of the Cancer zodiac (or it could be said that he is the derivative of the zodiac). He is also rather cancerous (carcinogenic; it is also worth mentioning that his skin is cobalt blue, and is as tough as steel) – hence he’s a definite no-no to go into the list of culinary. Cliff claims that he is a reincarnation of Clifford Lee Burton – the bass god that used to walk among men - but that is yet to be proven.

(Putting the silly last part aside) Cliff relies on his seemingly never-ending arsenal of chemicals as a way of attacking: the chemicals age t range from the typical stinking sludge to the ever popular and dreaded metal-eroding acid spray. In addition to that, he can also grow to tenfold or more of his initial size whenever he sees fit, and he can levitate as well - this will surely make heads turns… before some smart aleck will then remark that he is somewhat familiar to a being named Metagross (hahaha). To top it up, he walks in a straight line (and not sideways like any other typical crabs) making him even more sexy. Kinda.

Background/History: Some regarded him as a hapless homeless man, while some have refers to him as the school’s janitor. The latter term is widely accepted to be his profession; there weren’t any other janitors that could be seen in the vicinity of the school. And besides, the school maintain a good hygiene status under his care (how or when he carried out the task of cleaning the school was a mystery though).

Many different stories of the origin of Hideo have circulated among the school’s community, but the actual story of his life goes like this: He was born in a Christian family. He studied at public schools just like his fellow peers, and when he was eighteen, he went abroad – to Britain – to further his study in Moral Sciences. There, he was involved in some occult group. He remained in Britain for a long time after his first involvement with the group – he decided to abandon his study and pursue a path in occultism. Feeling that there wasn’t much to do in Britain anymore, he returned to Japan, where he continues to persist in the path of occultism.

But of course, no one knows about this; no one bothered to ask him, after all.

Other: He is very fluent in English (assuming that we are, you know, speaking in Japanese, but posted here in English... you get the idea).

Also, Aleister Crowley was one crazy guy.

[EngiMatikul]

Name: Kurishima Tatsuo (as far as I know no one ever made a last name for him) (Undead)
Age: Appearance 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Same as the former Tatsuo only more blank looking and pale faced. Generally, short brown hair with the typical Kazan school male outfit... I really don't want to go into too much detail about an undead rarely-used zodiac though. :p
Personality: None. Constantly under Akai's control.
School: Used to be in Kazan
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Power: Weapon
Power Description: Two very large wristblades, curved and doubleedged, both of which extend directly out of his wrists when summoned. He is extremely adept and skillful in using them despite being undead and will be a true challange to defeat if anyone wants to go up against him. He DOES have a zodiac power after all.
Background: One day Tatsuo died. Then Akai decided to revive him for her own personal uses. The end.
Other: Braaaaaaiiiiiinnnnssssssss.......

Even though we're short on girls, this character is going to be a boy because, well...it's rare that I actually feel like playing a boy that's not set up for drama and/or romance. Not an NPC. He's mine! *squeezes*

Name: Itou Hideki
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: By the look of his appearance, one would think that Hideki was a middle school student. He has the look of a twelve-year-old and is even two inches shorter than Cho. His skin is pale but free of scars, unusual considering his background. His eyes are almost the same as Cho but reversed (right eye blue, left eye green). The difference is that this is natural for him. His green eye is hidden under the bangs of his emo cut, a la Zexion from Kingdom Hearts but with white hair. It's dyed; someone can see the black roots if they look hard enough. A crescent moon tatoo is on his upper right arm. His expressions are always subtle.
Personality: The first few minutes he spends with someone is crucial to how he will act towards them. If he likes someone, he's very polite and helpful. If he doesn't, then he's still polite...in public...sometimes. He has a venomous tongue and he's not afraid to use it. Hideki can dislike someone for illogical reasons, or no reason at all. However, even if he likes someone, he's known for saying the most random, embarrassing things to them and about them. Cho's a good example, since she has had experience with him lying about their relationship (heh, incest). He either has no tact or almost no shame, and loves to make up elaborate lies about everything when he feels like it. He's somewhat effeminate but that doesn't change the fact that he won't hold back when he has to fight. There's more to him, but he's too complex to explain right now.
School: Furin
Background/History: He's from the Itou clan (Itou Kasumi's side of the family), which Cho doesn't really know about despite suprising size and history. The bulk of the clan lives far away from Cho and Kasumi. His immediate relatives show what the Itou clan used to be about: fierce fighting and loyalty to those they serve. Hideki was raised to be a highly educated fighter, with specialty in bladed weapons. He visited his cousin Cho a few years back and taught her self-defense, which has now bloomed into a spot on the martial arts team. A few days ago, he received a call from Kasumi that invited him to come live with them and go to school there. Which is a big secret, of course.
Other: Loves both sweet and spicy foods. Also sneaks sake every once in a while, which he hides in case of a sudden urge.
