Name, Age: Ka-chan, 13 almost 14 Do you play an instrument? If yes, which one and for how long?: I've played the piano for a few years, but I have quit. Do you have any RPing experiences? More or less. :D I've had a one-time experience and it was at BNB before the reformation. :) How often will you be able to role-play?: At least twice a week. More if I have no homework or I'm addicted. XD Character Name: Izumi Ran, 泉 蘭 General Education Department or Music Department? Which year?: General Education Department, 2nd year Does your character play an instrument? If yes, which one and how well does your character play it ("ability level")?: Ran doesn't play an instrument, but she really loves music. Character Description - Please keep in mind that you are allowed to add as much detail as you want to your character PHYSICAL APPEARANCE Image~ Only 153 centimeters tall, Izumi Ran has regular, brown hair that is a few inches off her shoulders. She has bangs that spread throughout her forehead, but don't cover her eyes. Big and round, Ran's eyes are a brilliant shade of orange. There's no outer trait that Ran believes to be better than average. Her build is a little on the skinny side, and she has a very light and pale skin color. Her face is full of blemishes, and refuses to put any make-up over it. Ran isn't interested in fashion or pop culture. She just wears whatever is comfortable. CHARACTER TRAITS Being the extremely shy person she is, Ran doesn't converse with people a lot. This resulted into self-isolation of herself and her feelings. She's unwilling to tell anyone anything about her, and will not butt in other's business. Since she has no one to confide to, she releases her feelings in her drawings. However, whenever Ran reads shoujo manga, those active personalities she refuses to show to others pour out then. To be more exact, whenever she touches a shoujo manga, she reveals excitement, anger, sarcasm, and much others as she reads through. Time and time again, Ran would yell to the manga characters as if they could hear her. After finishing a volume, Ran would always end up hysterically laughing at herself. Then, when she lets go of the manga, Ran would be back to her timid disposition. BIOGRAPHY Raised from a semi-regular family, Ran is the youngest of all of her siblings. When she was only five years old, her mother Saki abandoned her family to strive for a better acting career. At first, Ran was flabbergasted when she woke up one day to realize that her mother was gone forever, but now, she has noticed how life is so much easier without Saki around. Before, her mom always created fights with her brothers and father and refused to do any housework. In the end, it was her brothers and herself who had to do all of the work, even if they had tons of homework. Saki frequently created extra chores for them to do as well, and whenever someone asked her to help clean the house, she would often give the excuse that "she needed to practice for her acting career." No one might have said it out loud then, but every member, save Ran, of the family had thought "Thank goodness she left for good" when Saki permanently went away. Before Ran accepted the fact that her mother was to never come back, she drowned herself in sorrow. She began to think how her life wasn't perfect like how she always thought it was. That's when she began to admire shoujo manga, since people in there usually have the perfect ending to their lives. When she regained from her depression, Ran's love for shoujo manga stayed. Ran can not explain it herself, but now, whenever she touches a shoujo manga, she becomes the total opposite of who she is. At that time, Ran can see what's going on, but can't control her sudden personality change. She can only become this kind of person whenever she touches a bound, published, shoujo manga and nothing more. If she touched a shounen book, nothing happens. After reading tons and tons of shoujo manga, Ran began to become interested in drawing manga. Each mangaka's style was different and unique, and they always explained the storyline perfectly with their spectacular art. She started to search for some online tutorials on how to draw manga characters with perfect anatomy. On her first attempt, she was a little off, but it looked as if she had years of practice. One of her brothers, Naoto, saw the picture and was surprised his little sister could draw so well. Encouraged by her brother's words, Ran began to draw a long series describing her life. She only shows it to her three brothers and no one else, since it reveals her thoughts and feelings. In her manga, she's the main character who's life went wrong when she was five, maybe even earlier. All she wanted was a perfect ending, just like other main characters in shoujo manga. RELATIONSHIPS Family - Ran loves every member of her family, except her mother. She is happier now than when she still lived with her. Izumi Kou - Kou is the father of Ran who mainly works at a local grocery store. He makes a minimal income to support their big family. Since he doesn't make a lot a money at the supermarket, he has part-time jobs at other places too, so he is rarely at home. Izumi Saki - Saki is Ran's mother who is a successful movie actress. She divorced with Kou and abandoned all of her children to live her life as a star. Because she had done this, Ran hates her to the core and hopes she never returns to her life. Izumi Yousuke - The eldest brother at the age of 25, Yousuke is striving to become a successful doctor to help the family out. Yousuke is rarely at home as well, leaving his two younger brothers and Ran alone. Izumi Kanji - The second eldest brother who is 24, Kanji has several miniscule part-time jobs to slightly support the family. He mainly stays at home to watch over his little sister and brother. He's the main cook of the family, and produces the best bento anyone has ever tasted in their lives. Izumi Naoto - Naoto is the second youngest child of the Izumi family at the age of 21. He's the one who looks after Ran the most, since he doesn't have a job yet. He's currently attending a university and majoring in psychology, since he had always had a good understanding of people and their feelings. Friends/Other - Ran doesn't have many friends since she doesn't converse with people. Takehara Suzume - Suzume is another gen-ed student who's in the same class as her. She always tries to protect Ran from Taro, who is always attempting to make Ran fall for his pick-up lines. Ran doesn't really mind Suzume helping her, since flirty Taro scares her a little. Katagiri Taro – A fellow Seiso student who is in the same class as her. They were in the same middle school as well, so Ran knows the shy side of Taro. She never admitted it to anyone, but she has a huge crush on him since middle school. She isn't affected by his flirty ways. In fact, Ran prefers Taro's middle school persona rather than the present-day one. Otori Shun - A 3rd year music student that Ran happened to run into on the way to school. Ran was in a rush and dropped her sketchbook, in which Shun picked up. He filed through the pages, searching for some sort of identity as to whose it was, and noticed all of the wonderful artworks and manga. As Ran came back to find her sketchbook, she saw Shun with it. Embarrassed, she snatched it away as quick as possible and never showed it to him again. However, since Shun had constantly complimented her artworks, Ran was a little more friendly to him than to anyone else. They don't get to see each other much, nor do they hang out during lunch or after school. Sample RP (>=10 lines): But it was futile. I held onto my feelings for him for so long..I can't do it anymore... I..I like you, Dan-kun.. "D-d-dan-kun?!" Ran squeaked out as she read the latest volume of "School Weeks" in her bedroom. This was volume 8 and the final one. Ran had been waiting for this book ever since she finished seven, which was half a year ago. The mangaka had been inactive for a few months, and continued after she practically drowned in fan mail requesting for "School Weeks" to continue. Ran couldn't blink. She was too engrossed into the climax of the story. The main character Kann, after holding in her affectionate feelings for her best friend, couldn't take it anymore and decided to let it all out. Ran stared intensely at every bubble and every picture for a few seconds before turning the page to give herself some tension. "Kann..good luck..," Ran whispered, finally seeing what was on the next page. There, she gasped. "DAN-KUN! HOW COULD YOU?!" Ran screamed, throwing the latest volume of "School Weeks" to the nearest wall. Then, she gasped and scurried to check if she made any damages to the new book. "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no....I just bought this with my allowance too..," Ran frightfully mumbled, picking up the manga. Then, she started to clench the book with all her might. "Dan-kun...I never knew you were such a loser. That's it! I'm not reading any more today." She gently placed volume 8 in her bookshelf right after volume 7. "Ahh..but then again, I think it's better if I finish it now, to make sure if they will go together or not...," Ran whispered, slowly taking the book off the shelf once more. ---- I know there's a lot of mistakes. ._. Just say the word, and I'll fix it. Edited by KawaiiAquarius~, Jul 21 2009, 04:56 PM.
