Name, Age: Momo-chan (Niki), 14 Do you play an instrument? If yes, which one and for how long?: As of August 2009: Violin: 1 1/2 years Acoustic Guitar: 3-4 years Bass Guitar: 1/2 year Do you have any RPing experiences? I'm in a Prince of Tennis LJ Roleplay at present. I participated in the previous BNB RP. ^_^ How often will you be able to role-play?: 2-3 times a week, more during the holidays. Character Name: Toyonaga Riju General Education Department or Music Department? Which year?: General Education Department, third year Does your character play an instrument? If yes, which one and how well does your character play it ("ability level")?: Riju used to play the cello, but stopped abruptly during the second year of elementary school. Before that he was doing pretty well, but he hasn't touched the cello in years and his skills are probably dusty. Character Description - Please keep in mind that you are allowed to add as much detail as you want to your character Physical Appearance Riju has light brown hair that reaches a few centimetres above his shoulder, and stands at 167 cm. Before he leaves the house he always makes sure his hair is perfect, as with his clothes. When he goes out he always wears the latest trends (he derives these from his formidable stack of magazines at home), which for some reason always look good on him. He's been rated the third most good-looking guy in the school because of his babyface and the way he carries himself. Personality Riju is an energetic, friendly boy, and is sometimes a flirt. He enjoys being around people and is always ready to start a conversation, though he doesn't always listen to what other people say. He rarely thinks through his actions, making him somewhat impuslive. Those who don't know him well see him as a socialite -- under this facade, Riju is actually an attention-seeking, slightly insecure boy who is afraid of losing his friends; the result of an incident years before (elaborated below). Riju also has a penchant for sweet things (preferably strawberry-flavoured) but desperately tries to hide this from his circle of friends. Past to Present Riju was the best friend of Shiba Kousuke (Rieko's OC) since the first year of elementary school. Though they spent only a year together before the relationship ended abruptly, they understood each other very well and were like brothers. The next year, Shiba's mother died in an accident and the family moved away, shattering their friendship. Riju was, needless to say, heartbroken and confused. He could never really forget Shiba -- Riju blamed himself for their broken friendship, and thought he wasn't a good enough friend. This led to a sudden change in his personality; now he always took the initiative and started making friends and rising up the school popularity scale. He doesn't participate in any club activities at the moment, but enjoys taking photos with a digital camera he received for sixteenth birthday. Relationships FAMILY Toyonaga Takafumi, 45: Riju's father. He works as a salaryman. Since he goes to work early in the morning and comes home late at night, the family never sees much of him on weekdays. Nevertheless, he always tries to spend time with his family on weekends. Toyonaga Mayumi, 41: Riju's mother. A housewife with superb baking skills. Toyonaga Rika, 7: Riju's younger sister. Riju finds her an annoyance (she likes nosing around in his affairs and being the stereotypical goody-two-shoes). Toyonaga Ritsu, 3: Riju's younger brother. Riju is fond of him, though he can't tell if the latter feels the same way. FRIENDS Shiba Kousuke, 17: Shiba is Riju's childhood friend. They were separated when Shiba moved away, but are now attending the same school. Riju knows this because he saw the new student roster when he first entered Seisou, but doesn't know if he should acknowledge him or not. PLANNING TO ESTABLISH Well... he's going to reconcile with Shiba at one point of time... But maybe there can be some people who find out who his true self is really like? ![]() Other Riju has the rather rich-sounding last name 'Toyonaga', though he's actually pretty middle-class (Toyo = wealth; Naga = everlasting). His first name is made out of the kanji for 'reason' and 'tree'. Sample RP (>=10 lines): It was sunset. The ball streaked through the air, avoiding the batter's swing and landed firmly in the glove of the catcher. His finger slipped, missing the silver button, and before he knew it, people were cheering, screaming and crying for they had won; and Riju had messed up his perfectly-timed, creatively-angled shot. All he could do was let out a loud, breathy 'GEH' before folding his arms and walking away from school the baseball field, pouting, his hands wrapped grimly around the camera. The feeling wore away after a while -- now that he mentioned it, he didn't really care much, and he was hungry. Knowing that his mother would probably be finished with dinner preparations, Riju decided to make his way home, snapping a picture or two of the grass that lined the concrete roads of the housing districts. tap tap tap Riju turned around -- Their eyes met (or did they?), for a split second, before the dark-haired, tanned jogger sped past him and into the distance, his unzipped jacket trailing behind him. Shiba. He made another 180 degree turn -- the figure was now just a black, moving vertical line in the distance, getting smaller and smaller with every second. There was no time; Riju raised his camera and made a hurried snap at the horizon, his hands shaking. The picture was instantly transmitted to the tiny LCD screen, where Riju frantically searched for the silhouette -- it hadn't made the shot, all Riju could get was just an empty street, a bicycle propped against a wall somewhere near the foreground. He sighed -- too late, once again. But the image of the man running into the sunset was already etched inside him. Threads Involved In + Timeline: 1. New Beginnings 2. March by the Poolside 3.

Hmm, Riju sounds interesting xD Anyway, here's your ID card:![]() Let me know if you actually want to include "Cello" there or not, since Gen-ed students don't necessarily need to have an instrument they're majoring at. Please put it somewhere in your signature and you may start RPing anytime you want ^^~ Will be moving this thread to the approved section soon. |
