Dragon Warrior Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 [center][img]http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8725/nomorecoffeepb0.jpg[/img][/center] [indent][size=1]The business world can be a funny place. But not really. Actually, I get quite sick of it at times. But that's okay. I'm not the only one to suffer it's horrible wrath. Every day millions of people walk into one stuffy office building and carry out endless amounts of paperwork and file several useless files that no one will ever take out again. In fact, a lot of things we do are useless. We do them anyways, though. We have to still bring home the bacon. What people don't realize is the people that work in the office have lives too. We're not just mindless paper-pushers. We carry out every day lives like the rest of you lot and probably put up with a lot more than you think. There's so much drama around the office you'd think we were stuck in a soap opera. You can try, but somehow you'll get involved in it, whether it's in the office or outside it. And no matter what, the matters in the office always find a way to find [i]you[/i] outside the office. So yeah, it's a vicious cycle. You have to be strong to make it in the business world. It's not time to play. It's time to-well... okay, yeah, we play a little. But you have to be serious a lot of the-okay... we aren't really serious too often. You at least have to be mature to... yeah, what am I thinking? We're some of most immature lot in the world. Okay, so in [i]our[/i] office, things are more crazy, wild, and stimulated. It's funny, though. You'd think an office with a coffee machine that's always broken wouldn't have such perky and lively employees. Well... I'll let you decide on that.[/size][/indent] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]To Learn More About This RPG Before Signing Up, Please Report To The Underground Thread.

Retribution Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 [size=1]Yeah, I'm tossing my foot in the door to show there is some interest. Good idea, by the way. [B]Name:[/B] Alexander Ivey, goes by Alex. [B]Age:[/B] 28 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Ethnicity:[/B] 3/4ths African American, 1/4th White [B]Appearance:[/B] Standing at 5'9" with a thin and toned build, Alex is certainly not a physical imposing figure. His hair is dark brown, blessed with the loose curls of his mother. His eyes are near black and betray his emotions, somehow making him seem more inviting and hospitable. It is unfortunate for Alex that his best physical attribute is his face in the respect that he still has had limited success with women. He is often told that he's "cute," "dateable," and "a nice guy," but also happens to look ten years younger than he actually is. [B]Personality:[/B] Alex is the guy who rarely stands up for himself, and as a result, gets shoved alot of his employee's work. As luck would have it, he is also a work horse who puts in overtime often at the expense of his health. He takes orders particularly well when it is work-related and completes his tasks to the best of his ability. But no one can be a goody two shoes around the clock. Outside the workplace's stress and demanding schedule, he becomes more of a balanced individual. Maintaining his amiable but reserved personality, he chooses to be with friends and fun company to counter the rigors of life. Unfortunately, he remains an overly generous pushover in or out of the office. [B]Family:[/B] Alex has quite a bit of family living a short ways off (4 hour drive), and has never had a girlfriend. It has been his lot in life to be the girl's "best friend," but the fighting spirit still has not died within him. More often than not, however, he is resigned to stealing glances at his crush, awkwardly complimenting, and eventually giving up. [B]Information:[/B] Pressured by his father to become an accountant, and by his mother to become a lawyer, Alex never really decided what course of action to take. After obtaining his B.A. in accounting and graduating from law school, his life ran into a dead end, a self-imposed glass cieling of sorts. Bitterly opposed to disappointing either parent, he took an office job that was supposed to be "for a year or two, just to pay the rent." He has been onboard for five years, and now hopes to be promoted soon. This aspiration serves only to intensify his already-unhealthy work habits. However, this dream has also forced him to begin learning leadership skills, skills he is eager to one day test.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWNED Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 * Name: Joshua Williams * Age: 27 * Gender: Male * Ethnicity: Australian living in America. * Appearance: Link to [url]http://www.lockeshairandbeauty.co.uk/art/bloke.gif[/url] (Sometimes my PC doesn't let me select options on forums. Don't hate me) * Personality: Josh is a Bogan through and through; He drinks, swears and smokes even during office hours. He has made many enemies during his three years overseas thanks to his easily offensive actions and perchance to speak before thinking. Even though he seems to be an uber prick, he really is a nice guy at heart.... He even goes so far to stick up for Alex and is constantly telling him jokingly that he should grow a backbone. Even more suprising is that when Josh gets himself psyched up, he is overzealous in pursuit of completing what has been requested. He is reliable in the workplace but not entirely trustworthy as he is quick to stab someone in the back to complete something. * Family: Josh doesn't have any family living over in America after he decided to come there to pursue a career in the legal field. He doesn't know anyone on an intimate level but knows many on the threats-of-personal-violence level. * Information: Josh came to America to pursue a Legal career but this bombed badly two years in. He went through a period of holding minor jobs but he was fired from each of them because of being..... Disruptive in the workplace. He is a bit more understood at his current workplace which is why he has lasted a month there now. [I] This is an entertaining prospect that you have created here DW, I'd love to see it survive. BTW; Sorry for any spelling and/or Grammatical errors. My computer is odd and doesn't like Microsoft Office. [/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likes things to be done her way because she thinks her way is the only one thats right. She's never afraid to speak her mind and she'll stand up for anything that she believes in. When Sam's not at work, she's basicly the same. Takes charge, everything done her way, etc. But this time she kinda backs down from her position as top dog and lets her friends kinda take over. If Sam sees something that she knows is wrong, she'll tell you or she'll do something to correct it. When at work or not, she abosolutely [U][B]HATES[/B][/U] being called by her real name Samantha.

That day she overcame her shyness and became the woman that she is today. She had gotten a lot of awards at her previous workplace but after it was burned down in a fire, she was hired here. if i need to change anything, PM me[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbye, Face Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 [font=arial][size=1]Rifles joins another RP, mark it in the books, folks! [b]Name:[/b] Gary Gray [b]Age:[/b] 27, although he looks younger and tells girls different. [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Pretty much entirely White (Irish and Scotish ancestry). [b]Appearance:[/b] On work days, his dark brown hair is gelled back, ending just at the top of his collar, usually white. He wears black slacks adorned with a random belt out of his collection, usually with metal studs in it. He wears earrings normally, but he takes them out for work, leaving small, noticable holes. When he's not at work, it's possible to find him at the local clubs, usually dressed entriely in black, wearing attire much like this guy ([url=http://www.punkcore.com/photos/casualtiesjorge.gif]Link![/url]). [b]Personality:[/b] He's laid back and relaxed when it comes to his job. The office life is not ideal to him and he wishes to do more outdoor-sy things. Due to his calm nature, he's made friends with nearly everyone. He's one of the least important employees to the head honchos, but he's one of the most important to his co-workers. He frequently comes up with new ideas and conversations, any arguments he has with someone will be about his bad organizational habits. [b]Family:[/b] He has a younger sister, whom he loves and helps out with yardwork when he is able. As far as his parents, he avoids them as best as he can, although they know where he works and lives, they basically get the idea that Gary has had a little bit too much time with them over the years. I mean, they gave him an anagram name! What losers! [b]Information:[/b] Gary obtained the job after taking pictures for the boss's son's rock band. He liked Gary's work so much he hired him to the graphic designs for the company's website and products. Aside from that, he does small and unrelated jobs around the place. He takes residence in a small, one-story house he got for cheap from his friend who was moving out to live with her boyfriend. He doesn't spend much time in his house, although he's known to hold good parties and invite some co-workers to them. Aside from this, he's the office's music geek and usually helps his coworkers out in developing their own tastes in music rather than what the media feeds them. Good? Sorry about being late in finishing my entry.[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 [size=1][indent][b]Name:[/b] Elizabeth 'Liz' Anderson [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian [b]Appearance:[/b] Despite being almost thirty, Liz can still pass for being barely twenty. She's petite, standing at only 5'4" and weighing around 120 lbs. She frequents the gym, so she's in shape and eating healthy. Her wavy black hair reaches down to her elbows, but she almost never wears it down, keeping it up in buns or ponytails. To work, she wears dark blazers over white dress shirts and skirts in a variety of styles, complimented by her large shoe closet which generates lots of teasing. Outside of the office, she sticks to sweatpants, jeans, and baggy cargo shorts. She dislikes skirts that go above the knee, especially mini skirts, but will occasionally wear shorter skirts out of the house for dates. Her tops vary from tank tops to long sleeves, depending on the weather and what shoes she's wearing. [b]Personality:[/b] Liz is extremely reserved in the office. While her desk is fairly clean, she's not a neat-freak, though she can become a perfectionist when it comes to some jobs. She doesn't talk to anyone unless she knows them, they talk to her first, or they're working on a project together. She can start off quite shy, but when her shell is cracked, she unleashes a giggly, chatty, somewhat oblivious, shop-aholic. Her shoe closet is immense, which is a bit surprising when the price is compared to how much money she actually earns. Many suppose she takes her boyfriends to the mall and comes home with a dozen new pairs. She also makes a habit out of critiquing others on their choice of dates, as well as other things. When it comes to boyfriends and dates, Liz is extremely picky. There are many things she can't stand in men, and refuses to take on the task of trying to rid them of these habits/characteristics, and will simply lose interest in them. She enjoys dating guys that have a sense of adventure and would rather go to places they haven?t been to before than fall into the habit of doing only the same routine over and over again. She dates guys for the long-term, but has a habit of getting tired of them quickly and moving on. She does not see other men during her relationships, as she advocates the ideal, 'treat others the way you would like to be treated'. She is an avid flirter when single, though. [b]Family:[/b] Liz has a very strained relationship with her mother who was always very controlling in her life. She doesn't approve of her position in life, and doesn't seem to change her mind no matter what Liz does, but Liz has grown accustomed to it. She still detests talking to her, in person or over the phone. Since her parents divorced when she was very young, she talks and visits her father separately, and enjoys her time with him much more. He lives in Manhattan, so she goes to see him more often than he comes to see her. She has a half-brother that also lives in New York City, but they rarely see each other and communicate mostly by e-mail. Currently, Liz is not seeing anyone. [b]Information:[/b] Liz lives in a roomy apartment on the top floor of a six-floor apartment building deep in the city. She has had several boyfriends move in and out, with a designated room for them which she goes through and redecorates after each one leaves. The largest part of her apartment would have to be her closet, and the largest section of that, her shoes, as stated several times before. She has rich parents, and will often get money for gifts around Christmas or her birthday, which she quickly puts to use, though many assume it is her boyfriends that pay for her things (which isn't true, because she seems to always snag the cheap/poor ones that move in with her).[/indent] --- OOC: Sorry for not finishing the last bit. I?m being kicked off the computer. >.< And I went a little overboard with everything, too. xD Will hopefully finish sometime tomorrow night. This looks very interesting DW, by the way. ^_~[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 [size=1] [b]Name:[/b] Michael Sumerkalis (goes by Mike, Mikey, or ?Hey, you!?) [b]Age:[/b] 21 (is an intern) [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Ethnicity:[/b] A young half-Greek, half-Irish man. He has the skin tone and facial structure of a Greek, but has the auburn hair of an Irish. [b]Appearance:[/b] [b][URL=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/NewHairCut002.jpg]Michael[/URL] [/b] Around 5'11", 160. Lanky, normally wears a pair of dark black slacks which fit him smartly, and a red button shirt with black tie. A smooth looking individual normally. [b]Personality:[/b] Mike is an interesting individual. Young in both heart and body. He is often considered a strange person due to his spread out interests, which include martial arts, breakdancing, and loud hip-hop music. All of which he often shows off within his work place. A colorful person out right, he is often outspoken and outgoing. He hopes to make it big in the.... business? But for now he is stuck getting lunch and coffee from across the street. He finds a good friend and a constant adventure in Myers, his roomate and fellow intern. Myers always seems to find a way to get Mike involved in one of his insane plots, and as much trouble it might get them into, Mike always pulls through for his buddy. He can't deny the fun they have. [b]Family:[/b] Mike is away from home, in the city for his internship. He is currently single, all though he is constantly looking for a girl what will be his companion. He loves women deeply, but can never find one interested in him for some reason or another. He feels he?s not a big asshole to get the ladies. [b]Information:[/b] Mike lives in a small apartnement in the city with his college buddy, Myers. The two are close friends and if they are not working, they are having fun in the city, a new experience for the both of them. Myers tends to play off of Mike's talents, getting him into comprimising situations. Sadly, Mike has found himself in both dance-offs and bar fights thanks to Myers' antics. He quite enjoys it. His internship is payed very lowly, almost not at all. He tries to get by the best he can. He teaches self-defense classes to scrape together any money he can, though it?s mostly paranoid ladies and little kids who try, and most quit after the first class. He is a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, which he enjoys showing off by kicking around the office in boredom. He is also a breakdancer, which he does the same in the office. He is considered a weirdo for both activities. The folks at the office seem like a good bunch of people for him to entertain and be around, if only he wasn?t spending most of his time licking their boots...

Nothing Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 [SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Name: Louise Dion Age: 44 Gender: Male Ethnicity: French/American Appearance: Louise Dion is a terribley unattractive man, whose cracking lips are a constant scowl and beady eyes are constantly sunk in an all-too yellowey pale face. His nose and chin are long and pointed, like two arrows directed towards some imaginary spot in front of him. He dresses formally and dignantly, suits and baulder hats, with black hair always in a mess. Personality: Louise Dion is a petty, terribley spiteful person who is unreasonably condescending around the office. He thinks himself incredibley intelligent, more so than anyone else in the office, and often tries to prove it by deliberately leaving annonymus rants and essays in the copy machine and uncrumpled set gently on top of the trash cans, always annonymus, because he is far too chicken hearted to take credit for his "brilliance." The novels he reads, or at least professes to, always great and difficult classics like Paradise Lost or Stephen Hawking's Universe, constantly litter the staff room, again, deliberately. Louise has yet to forgive Joshua Williams for leaving the wet ring residue of a beer bottle on one of his favorite books one day while sitting in the staff room. Louise has sworn vengance upon Joshua, though his vengance is pitiful and meaningless, ranging from a bump or nudge in the office to taking and hiding different unimportant documents. Louise has enacted his vengance a dozen times without Joshua's taking notice, making Louise all the more spiteful and hostile. God knows how he gets any work done, between writing deliberately misplaced rants and plots for vengance. Family: Louise's family is neither dead nor in contact with Louise, except on particular holidays in which Louise is obliged to visit. Information: Louise Dion is secretive, to the point of being more obsessed with secracy than the objects which he keeps a secret. He is a very shallow, petty person, and has little to do in his spare time except read, rant, and keep it all a secret. A failed English professor and unpublished novelist, he blames the world for his miserable predicament in life. His job at the office affords him what apartment he could get, next to, as fate would have it, or rather, as God's sense of Humor would have it, one of the most nosey old hags Louise had ever met. (One time, while sleeping in his bed, Louise heard the calamorous sound of a power drill used on the wall seperating he and the hag, which just so happens to boarder his room. The source of the noise, he found, were two freshly drilled peep holes in Louise's wall, and on the other side the old hag's unflinching eyes.)[/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katana Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 [size=1][color=royalblue]I need a good RPG to try and get into. This seems perfect for me. *loves teh coffee* --------------------- [b]Name:[/b] Virginia "Ginger" Carrigan [b]Age:[/b] 31, though she's always been thought of as way younger. Even back in high school, she was thought of to be in sixth grade, due to her height and youthful complextion. [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Ethnicity:[/b] German, Swiss, Irish. Hence the last name. [b]Appearance:[/b] She stands at barely 5'4", with smooth creamy-coffee (no pun intended) colored skin, brushed in rose. Dusty brown hair, streaked in gold, frames her face, cut to sit right at her earlobes, with long bangs that hover at her shoulders. She has ocean blue eyes, the pupils outlined in splashes of gold. Randomly, her cheeks are slightly red, with a stripe connecting the two. Ginger's work clothes typically consist of either a long or short sleeved shirt, one shade in color, with a jacket on top, cut at the waist. She switches between wearing loose khaki's and (clean) blue jeans, and swaps out her shoes in accordance to the season. Ever since her freshman year of high school, Ginger has been into weight lifting to keep in shape. She loves being able to smirk at men and telling them what she can lift, since she discovered she has a talent with it. She isn't ripped or buff, just slightly toned. [b]Personality:[/b] A procrastinator with menial tasks, but she hurries her butt on assignments. Ginger has a strange insecurity in which she cringes at critiques and has a fear of what others are thinking when they talk to her. This type of thing isn't really expected of her, since she's usually independent, speaking her mind when she probably shouldn't. Other than that, she loves to joke and have fun, and despises the angsty and depressing people. Nobody can really crack who she is though, since various and random sides have been seen. Ginger is incredibly messy, but her office desk only reflects a small portion of that. In the largest draw is a collection of empty soda cans, and in another, art supplies for when she slacks off and draws. [b]Family:[/b] All of her family live elsewhere, and far far away elsewhere. Ginger is the youngest of three children, her two older brothers shaping her a lot through her childhood. Boris thinks the two have a relationship, whatever that word may mean to him. Ginger is sort of thinking that way...but then tries to think of what screwed-up relationshop the two could have. [b]Information:[/b] Standing as short as she does, Ginger has basically been a midget since, well, ever. It was a joke with her and her friends, but it still always bothered her. Whenever a person makes the tiniest insult to her height, she gets pissed off. After work, Ginger goes home and passes out for a while before shifting out to the city. Since she's as uncaring as she is with her clothes, and seeing as how she doesn't wear expensive things to work, she hardly ever changes from work to play. Her usual hang-out is a coffee shop with Wi-Fi access for her laptop, and other times, she goes out to explore the shops and activities. On Fridays, she hits up a bar. If she's really depressed and frustrated, though, she goes to the bar as well. One day, Ginger discoverd Boris's minifridge. And after a while, she began to stash her soda in there, which is where her soda-can-drawer-of-death gets its food. She first figured it as a joke, since the Dutch man probably wouldn't like it, but since he never got rid of them, she assumed he just didn't care. --------------- And, well, that's it. I'm full of the sickness, so I'm not thinking that well either. :3[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 [b][u]Application[/u][/b] [list][*][b]Name:[/b] Myers Miller [*][b]Age:[/b] 21 (Intern) [*][b]Gender:[/b] Male [*][b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian [*][b]Appearance:[/b] Myers likes to clean himself up, so he will often gel his black hair back and keep shaven. He's an average height and is skinny, but not amazingly fit in terms of being an athlete. He does like basketball. Though he is an intern, Myers tends to think of himself more privelaged at times and likes to not wear office clothes too often. If it's necessary, he will, but he may show up in his normal apparel. His outside work outfits (and usually in work outfits too) are the regular t-shirts, sometimes accompanied with an open button-down shirt complete with some kind of shorts, usually khaki. He may even throw in a hat occassionally if the feeling is right. He likes to keep to his style, but his style changes so often, it's hard to tell what it even is anymore. [*][b]Personality:[/b] The main thing you'd notice about Myers--or just pass off as some mental illness--is his over-active imagination. He'll take things to a whole new level and in almost child-like behavior. Being he loves to have fun, he'll try and make the office as interesting as possible while still accomplishing work--or whatever they have him do. He'll tend to have wild schemes that'll either prove brilliantly executed or disasterous and troubling. He's friendly to everyone since he needs everyone to be friendly back for his work environment to become a natural playground. He'll get his buddy Mike involved usually. [*][b]Family:[/b] Myers loves his family, but any family can be embarrassing. That's why he's glad to take a break from it all and go to the city for an internship. He also doesn't mind getting away from his brother. He is single, but loves the ladies. He would like to take Mike to some of the local clubs now that they're in the city. [*][b]Information:[/b] Myers and his friend Mike came to the city for their internship and so they landed a regular-sized apartment near the office they would soon be working in. Mike does a lot more work than Myers, it seems. Nevertheless, Myers appears to always be cracking a new idea or wanting to hit clubs and other things. The whole city life excites him. His "schemes" often involve unusual, if not improbable, situations and events that will turn the office--and anywhere else he goes--into some crazy party. Still, Myers is serious in passing his internship, so he will do work when asked to. But no one ever said he wouldn't do it with "style." And when we say "style," we mean with more conflict.[/list] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hear what you would call a dirty blonde-haired person. He isn?t what you would call a lanky man. For most of the time while at the office he will usually wear his glasses instead of his contacts, trying to look more professional like that is unless he forgets them somehow which he does tend to do a lot at times, Although while at work he doesn?t try to dress in anything to special or flashy as some of his co-workers. Just an earth toned shirt, as well as some brownish black slacks. However when he is not in the work place he tends to dress a little bit more casual, even taking a smoke here and there [b]Personality:[/b] To say the least, it could be said that Vit has two personalities; on one hand, he can be lazy, very, very lazy. Almost to the point that he wouldn?t do something unless, he was ordered to do the said action or threatened in some way. Although he isn?t, like that all the time. He does make an effort to try to get the jest of his work completed on time. Yet the procrastinator that he its, he is usually running the thin line of being completed and finishing late and ultimately being fired. If one was to think about it the only reason he world have ever even been recommended to join the staff was to be his intelligence, which is rather high. On the other hand, Vit can also be violent. Well, not as much as a person who would just harm someone for absolutely no reason. More like one who would just make idle threats to one of his co-workers when they think he wouldn?t actually go through with the said action. Yet Vit would be the kind of person who would actually go through with it. He tries not to be violent to much of the time, for it could give him a bad reputation but it is just a side of him that is a little bit to hard to hide at times. [B]Family:[/B] As far as family goes, Vit has parents living off on the west coast while he has other relatives living back in Russia. The small, two-roomed apartment where he lives is currently empty except for many technological things that he tends to work on in his free time. He is also singly but finding a woman is not the most important things on his list of things to do currently. [B]Information:[/B]The only time, if at ever that Vit would go to random violence is if he is just trying to concentrate on something. For some reason it?s just something that really tends to irk him. He also has a kind of affliction on inventing some things, yet this would only be in his free time, and can be easily seen if one was to venture off to his apartment. Although for the most part he would seem like the kind of person who just sits back and doesn?t talk or interact with people a lot. In some cases this would be true but while he is out and about around the city this usually isn?t too true. He does have a somewhat, entertaining side to himself as well. done and done.

Sakura Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 [SIZE=1][B]Edit:[/B] Done, sorry it's kinda short. Really tired at the moment. Let me know for changes. [COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Sora Narumi [B]Age:[/B] 26 [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Ethnicity:[/B] Japanese [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5099/girls836vv.jpg]Here[/URL] Sora is 5'6" and weighs about 100 lbs, though a woman never really reveals her true weight to the exact number. When at the office she's always seen wearing a female business suit, usually blackish, blackish grey, or navy blue in colour with faint pinstripes on the jacket and pants, with a crisp white button down shirt inside. [B]Personality:[/B] Sora is the office's coffee addict. Some of her co-workers may protest, saying that they are, but all untrue. She needs a caffeine hit every hour or she literally becomes useless, turning into a trembling form who sits in her chair, staring into nothing. Sora is one of the most upset of all the people in the office at the state of the coffee machine, now she always brings some source of caffeine with her to work for when she needs it. But once she's all juiced up she has no problems with getting to work, in fact being quite professional with everything she does. Sora knows a lot about technology and at her station is usually seen staring at the monitor, typing something, with an incredible type speed. Outside of the office she's quite introverted, preferring to spend a quiet night at home over going out and partying wildly. [B]Family:[/B] Sora lives alone in an apartment, her parents are still living in Japan but she remains in contact with them, and she's not social enough to have a boyfriend. [B]Information:[/B] Sora lives in a little apartment by herself in the city, not too far from work. Everyone in the office recognises her as the obsessive caffeine drinker because of attacks she's had, so she always has a morning coffee to wake her up, and one at night to help her sleep. Her family are of middle class, owning their own business with doing electronics. Sora decided as a child that she didn't want to follow after her parents, and that she wanted to travel. She raised the money in her final years of school, with help from her parents, and she flew across to America, going to University to study a Computing degree and now she works at the Office.

Revelation Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 [size=1][color=#1874CD][indent][B]Name-[/B] Quyen Nguyen [B]Age-[/B] 32 [B]Gender-[/B] Female [B]Ethnicity-[/B] Asian [Vietnamese to be exact] [B]Appearance-[/B] Although Vietnamese, [URL=http://encyclopedia.quickseek.com/images/Trish_Thuy_Trang_001.jpg][B]Quyen[/B][/URL] is one of the few who tan easily and as such is seen with a beautiful golden tone. She is an attractive woman though doesn?t flaunt it a beautiful individual who doesn?t really have a set style. In the office, she is seen usually wearing a pinstripe trouser suit or occasionally a skirt suit. Outside of the office, her style is indefinite though she is seen wearing a sophisticated style: khaki pants, heels, blouse, and jacket- or something of the sort. [B]Personality-[/B] Being the typical Asian, Quyen is intelligent and smart- both street and book. She is bold, spirited, and poised in and out of the office. She has become something of an independent woman, taking things head-on, never second-guessing herself. She tries to do things to the best of her abilities and if she can, above and beyond. Her co-workers refer to her as ?the typical Asian? because the stereotype for Asians is that they are basically overachieving perfectionists, which is only half of the truth in her case. Coming to America at a young age, Quyen has found it difficult to fit in. However, as time went on she found that it was in her best interest to care little for society and focus on her education. She believes that she is given a great life because unlike the life that her mother and father lived in Vietnam, she is given opportunities every day. Because of this, she is filled with determination and pushes herself to the limit. In her mind, she wants to make up for what her parents had to endure and give them the life they?ve always dreamed of having. But, the never-ending tug-of-war between her friends, her work, and her family has made her suffer. What could possibly happen next? [B]Family-[/B] Currently, she lives alone in an one-bedroom studio apartment. She visits her family in Pennsylvania often, bringing them gifts as it is a family tradition. She also travels to Vietnam to visit her relatives, bringing them gifts as well. However, at this moment Quyen is single but is not interested in seeking companionship. [B]Information-[/B] Quyen is unlike most of the Asian women, in fact she?s unlike [i]any[/i] woman. She despises feminine clothing, fights like a man, and has a great affinity for motorcycles. Her life revolves around her work and family, never any time for socializing, which she is constantly scolded for by both her family and friends- who she sees once on a blue moon. It isn?t entirely her fault and she doesn?t necessarily see her lifestyle as something bad, she merely wants to give her parents a good life without having to worry about anything. To go back on motorcycles, Quyen owns a [URL=http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7999/yamahayzfr67rl.jpg][B]Yamaha YZF-R6[/B][/URL]. She cherishes it like a baby and will literally break anyone who messes it up.[/indent] There you are, Gav. It?s practical yet unexpected?or at least I think it is ^_^;;.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 [size=1][font=Tahoma][indent][b]Name:[/b] Boris Willems [b]Age:[/b] 37 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Ethnicity:[/b] White. His family has lived in the Netherlands for generations with only ... white people in it. [b]Appearance:[/b] Boris stands about one meter and eighty-six centimetres, which makes him reasonably tall. He has a bit of a promise of a belly, covered by his usual long-sleeved shirts. The only kind of trousers you?ll see him wear are blue jeans, although he likes to dress himself in his suit at special occasions. Under all kinds of clothing, he?ll wear simple basketballs (shoes!) in black and white, unless he sees really cool other shoes. Although he won?t admit it, Boris? very dark brown (often mistaken for black) hair is already beginning to show silver hairs around his temples. It also begins to show in the hair on his regularly enough shaved chin. He likes his own green eyes, which he did ever since he actually started looking at them a bit more than ?oh, they?re green. Cool?. [b]Personality:[/b] He does not believe in being depressed at all, being the optimistic person that he is. Boris doesn't reveal much of himself and likes to listen to peoples problems more than talk about them himself. Bothering other people with his real problems isn't really in his nature. Ridiculous remarks, puns and situation can really make him laugh, even though he's mostly the one making the remarks and puns himself. [b]Family:[/b] He has hardly had any deaths in his direct family, not even his grandparents. The closest to him who?ve died are his grand grandparents, who, apart from one, he didn?t know anyway as they died before he was born. One of them died when he was ten years old or so, but he didn?t know her really personal, except that she was a friendly hard hearing woman. Anyway, enough about his grand grandparents. His brother works for a newspaper as a journalist and his sister is some kind of a children?s therapist, though Boris is still not too sure what she does. His father was a journalist too. His mother a high school teacher ?French?, which Boris himself was horrid at. His parents were divorced, and his father married an, a bit odd, but nice and funny woman a few years later. Lately he has a relationship with Ginger, involving her stashing her cans of soda in his mini fridge. [b]Information:[/b] To start Boris is dutch. Now, where children come from and what?s their purpose, we will never know, so we?ll start this information thing around the age of sixteen instead. Having grown up with television shows and computer things, Boris appeared to be really good in English. After graduating and then finished studying, he had gone to the United States. At first he was just planning to stay for a small while to work on his English even more. After a few months, when he seemed to start to realize that he still hadn?t left, he decided to stay in the United States. Naturally, one needs cash to pay their bills and the like. So Boris started looking for a job. Thus, he ended up at the office building. He started at the office when he was almost 22, now he?s still there, though his position has gotten better. He now has quite a nice office with a desk and electricity to power his mini fridge with. The mini fridge is filled for a great deal with Ginger?s soda cans. The rest is filled with Ice Tea, packs of juice, milk and a few other things. Still Dutch in his heart, Boris rides a bicycle and knows how to bake Dutch pancakes.

Shinmaru Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Why not? I haven't tried out for an RPG in a long time. This could be pretty fun. :) [size=1][b]Name:[/b] Vincent Zavala [b]Age:[/b] 27 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Half-Mexican, half-crazy European mix (English, German, Dutch, etc.). He amuses himself by referring to his ethnicity as "Chicaucasian." [b]Appearance:[/b] Average height (around 5'9") and average build (not too skinny, but not really big either). Vincent has brown eyes and short black hair that he doesn't mess around with too much. His face is mostly clean shaven, with the only exception being a short, slight goatee that he's worn since high school. Despite his not spending much more time in the sun than any other person, Vincent's skin is never lighter than a smooth brown (except for his upper arms which are hilariously white). The only physical feature of his that Vincent pays any attention to are his larger-than-normal feet (you know what that means, ladies ;)), which he manages to stumble over daily. For work, Vincent has several copies of the same basic outfit: A dark blue dress shirt with a red tie, black dress pants, black socks, and black dress shoes (sometimes brown if he's feeling wild!). Because coats annoy him so much he never wears them, unless they're specifically demanded and he has no other choice. In his day-to-day life, he mostly wears shirts relating to geek culture (video games, bands, movies, comics, anime, etc. - none of those "witty message" shirts, though, because they suck) and whatever pants or shorts he feels like throwing on. [b]Personality:[/b] Though one would think otherwise from his passion for dark and sarcastic comedy, Vincent is actually a fairly positive person, though he isn't exactly as outgoing as he'd like to be. However, he's always up for conversation, especially when it relieves the extreme boredom that overwhelms him at work. Vincent is at heart an observer of life, and he enjoys commenting on all of the absurdities that life puts on display for all to see. (This has the unfortunate side effect of Vincent seeing many things that most do not, but not really being able to do anything about them himself.) His sarcastic quips can occasionally be hurtful but more often than not those are merely accidental; he never intentionally hurts a person unless he feels that he or she actually deserves it. He also enjoys showing his lighter side through his unnatural love of strange, quirky (and mostly cheesy) puns. Like Myers, Vincent has an incredibly active imagination. When doing abnormally tedious projects (of which most projects around the workplace are), he is prone to wandering, both figuratively and literally. Left alone, Vincent will enter bizarre worlds of his own creation, free from the limitations of business calls, memos, and TPS reports, though the presence of another person is enough to yank him back into reality. For strange reasons all his own, Vincent also enjoys the occasional jaunt through certain "unknown" areas of the office building during break time. He hopes to one day find a room not unlike floor 7½ from [i]Being John Malkovich[/i]. What he'll end up doing in there is anybody's guess. [b]Family:[/b] Vincent moved away from his family years ago, but he still keeps in contact with them due to the fact that his mother constantly calls him. He's always invited to every get together that they have, and he always ends up going because 1) he still enjoys being with his family and 2) he's not very good at saying "no." Vincent is currently single, with that "currently" threatening to stretch into "perpetually." Vincent is just not very good at making that all-important leap with women, since no matter how much one observes life, women will always be confusing. (:p) [b]Information:[/b] Vincent originally moved to the city to follow his dream of being a comedy writer. However, he grossly underestimated how difficult that would be and he makes due with his current job as a technical writer for small-time products. Vincent has been following this line of work for about three years now. In his spare time in his cramped apartment, he works on his stand-up act which he hopes to one day take to the stage in one of the city's comedy clubs. He actually has had a decent amount of material ready for months; unfortunately, he suffers from acute stage fright, and the few times he has gone onstage as a comic have been miserable. Still, he pursues his dream vigorously. The other big reason that Vincent decided to move to the city is that, originally being from a small and boring town, he became infatuated with the sheer variety of things to do within it. When he's unable to sleep at night, Vincent slips on a jacket, chooses a random direction to walk in, and keeps going until he finds something that grabs his attention. He's subbed for "yellers" advertising outside strip clubs, sat stuck in sycamores above ferocious felines, and traversed the city's underground sewer system, among other activites: Whether it's in the thick of the town or just on the outskirts, Vincent is obsessed with exploring every inch of the area and experiencing everything that it has to offer. But only when he's really bored.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
