Otakus Are Us

Postby rocklobster » Fri Jan 21, 2011 4:30 am

OK, all my RP's are officially dead. So, I just got a new idea. Before anyone asks, no I haven't been watching Genshiken.
How about a slice-of-life rp about an anime club? We don't have to just do the club meetings. We can also show what the members are doing when they aren't getting together. Here's the character sheet:
Name:
Age: (junior high to high school is fine. My character will be the oldest because she's the president and it seems appropriate)
Physical Description:
Personality:
Anime he/she likes:
Extra:
And here's our president:
Name: Christa Kandos
Age: 17
Physical Description: Krista is a tall girl with long auburn hair down to her shoulders. She has one green eye and one blue eye, and a fair complexion. She has a fairly athletic build, thanks to her years in gymnastics training. She also has a 12 year old younger sister (yes, you can play her sis if you want)
Personality: Krista is a true tomboy and has never gotten out of that phase nor her anime phase. Her parents are indifferent but they figure at least she's not doing anything illegal. She formed the club because she wants to meet like-minded people. She also has a strong Christian faith.
Anime he/she likes: Christa enjoys anything with a Yoko Kanno soundtrack. Her all-time favorite show is Rahxephon, with Voltron being a "guilty pleasure" (she has seen the original).
Extra: Krista can play the guitar and piano. She is also into David Bowie.

Name: Alexander Reed (Alex for short)
Age: 16
Physical Description: About 5'10''. Short black hair and emerald eyes. Has an average build.
Personality: Quiet, but can be very outspoken in private. Is very intellegent, but knows next to nothing about slang, socializing, or people. His mind works faster than his mouth, meaning he knows what he is about to say, but it just comes out wrong. This often causes people to misinterpret his intentions.
Anime he/she likes: Alex had read manga for years but only recently started to watch anime, so he hasn't seen a lot of it. However his favorite so far is Clannad.
Extra: Huge music lover, but freezes up when people suddenly ask him what he's listening to.

I hope I did this right, because this sounds like a very good RPG.

Name: Erin Gossamer
Age: 15
Physical description: Slim and not very curvy. About 5'6", pale complexion. Erin has- Okay, this might just be better if I show you. Her eyes are hazel.
Personality: Girly, an overall happy person, friendly, opinionated, curious, she can be really silly at times and rightfully serious at others. She has a bit of a temper that can flare, and she hates being underestimated.
Anime she likes: D.N.Angel, Rurouni Kenshin, Pokemon, Durarara!!, Romeo x Juliet, etc...
Extra: Erin is a Christian. However, she has a hard time forgiving others. She also has self-image issues because she's afraid people would mistake her for a boy if she wasn't such a girly-girl.
She also likes playing video games a lot, and carries her Nintendo DS in her purse with her. She loves adventure and fantasy, and cute romance.

Name: Talia Harper
Age: 16
Physical Description: I finally get to pull out this pic! About 5'3" tall, though.
Personality: Quiet. A bookworm- she can rewrite her favorite books word-for-word. She loves to laugh and has a thing for bad jokes. Shy. And sensitive about being deaf.
Anime he/she likes: Monster, Paranoia Agent, Higurashi: When They Cry (basically, psychological and horror anime)
Extra: She's deaf, so anime made it into her repertoire of entertainment merely because it has subtitles. In fact, she has a hard time being convinced to see anything in English, just because she doesn't want to put subtitles on and bother other people! She also manages to hide it from most people who aren't paying close attention by wearing earbuds- there isn't any music actually playing, but when she ignores something randomly said to her, they tend to blame it on that.

(yes, I'm pulling the deafness from the other character in the Runaways RP. It's such a fascinating character trait!)

That's fine about the deafness. I did that once too. Can she at least read lips? If not, I can adapt by giving Krista knowledge of ASL. (American Sign Language) You're in.

It's like an interactive story. You just tell us what your character is doing (and only your character) and we interact with him/her.

Tch. just realized that either she'll need an interpreter (she's deaf- and because she's never heard words, her ability to speak is limited) or someone who knows ASL to interpret her signs for the rest of the members. Or she can carry around a pad of paper to write in.

WE NEED NEW PLAYERS! Anyone interested?

My new character if this continues?
Name: Ryoji Nakamura

Age: 17 (just a bit younger than Christina)

Physical Description: Tall (almost 6 feet) and skinny, with rather long black hair that he keeps in a ponytail and black eyes. .... Aw, to heck with it. Just search 'Kanda Yuu' from 'D. Gray-man'.

Personality: Friendly to everybody, though is rather quiet and doesn't actually have many close friends. Probably because he doesn't have the best grasp of English and worries about what others think about that. He's also into sports- he's in the fencing club.

Anime he/she likes: Action, mostly. Blood is no issue. Though he does have an appreciation for romances if they're epic (5 Cm Per Second and Princess Tutu are two of his favorites).

Because of the culture over in Japan surrounding anime, though, he's more into manga. Vagabond, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Berserk are among the ones he owns.

Extra: Doesn't know sign language. He moved to America 2 years ago from Japan. Has a thing for Shakespearian tragedies, and can be caught reading ones such as Titus Andronicus and King Lear at any time.

Name: Gadaric Cyrus MacArthur
Age: 16
Physical Description: 6'3" and muscular, not real bulky per se but very, veerrry fit, though one would never know it unless they took phys ed with him; usually wears dark baggy gothic attire with chains and spikes and the whole bit, usually accompanied be a characteristic black trench coat and a spiffy choker brandishing a celtic knot in the middle; unlike most goth-looking people, Gadaric isn't pasty white (though he is abviously caucasian to everyone around him) and sports a full-blown beard-n-'stach that would give Grizzly Adams a run for his money, has shoulder-length wavy brown hair (usually worn back in a pony tail if not in corn rows, which is not uncommon for Gadaric
Personality: Usually very quiet, almost never talks at all in public, mainly because of his troubled home life, likes to listen to most genres of metal and techno music especially foreign stuff from Europe and Asia, tends to sit alone yet still manages to draw attention to himself through his appearance (he finds this to be slightly annoying, yet mildly amusing as well as he enjoys people-watching as his main hobby of choice, aside from music that is), beneath his dark, tough-looking facade lies a caring and loyal teddy bear that will willingly be a shoulder to cry on for anyone that needs it
Anime he/she likes: Trigun, Bleach, Mobile Suit Gundam: OO, Monster, Death Note, etc.
(likes action/adventure and mech/sci/fi alongside murder mystery and psychological thrillers)
Extra: currently lives with a friend in a small studio flat, though due to the difference in their schedules they hardly see each other much
Gadaric moved away from home because of his relationship with his father; lets just say they don't exactly see the words "friendly" and "rough-housing" as being in the same sentence, his father has tried to kill him on several occasions; he doesn't like to talk about why
in addition to moving out of the house, Gadaric has also been taking several martial arts classes at a local dojo and already knows more than any one person should about how to kill or incapacitate someone in two seconds flat, though he prefers not to make a big deal about it or put it to the test if at all possible to avoid a fight, though he will not hesitate to intervene if someone near him is being bullied/harassed or abused in any way
