Cardfight! Vanguard: A Tale of Three Shops [PG-13] (Not Accepting/Started)

[Aerion Brightflame]

I should probably reserve a clan shouldn't I?

 

Can I be reserving Murakumo, and then be allowed to switch to Nubatama when the supposed new support comes out?

[Justice Master]

Sure, just make sure that you explain it IC when it does. I'll edit the OP for you right now.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Also, I'm taking one of the stores.

[Althemia]

Also, I'm taking one of the stores.

That seems a little counterproductive, no? A beginner who's going to own a store dedicated to something that they've not heard of? Anyway, app should be up within the next hour.

[Justice Master]

Well, Koko, Final actually PM'd me beforehand. The beginner girl won't be the character who owns the shop. In fact, the character described to me was a great idea and really unique. I think Final would PM you the basic idea if you asked.

I can't wait for your app, nonetheless.

Fair enough, I was just double-checking as to stop potential plotholes.

[Justice Master]

That's fine. I'm glad you were looking out for the RP.

By the way everyone, I won't be able to update Accepted Apps until later today. I'm stuck on my phone.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Also, for my newbie girl, she'll start out with a Billy Deck of cards she finds pretty or cute that don't fit together (i.e., combining Bermudas with Neo Nectar, Oracle Think Tank, and other cards with little rhyme or reason), but refines it into Battle Sisters later.

[RogueZero]

Can I reserve Dimensional Police?

 

But. I don't know how to play CF:V ...

 

Can somebody please tell me a simple guide to understand CF:V?

 

Learned the basic play.

[spoiler=Personality]Personality :

When it comes to Vanguard game, Kentaro has a high and burning passion for it, and always visit card shops to play with somebody. He is not a type of person who care about losing or winning, because for him what's important is having fun. Also, Kentaro is a type of person who never give up even if he's in desperate situation, and he also encourage his friend not to give up no matter what happened. He also likes to watch tokusatsu (Ultraman and Masked Rider). His personality is much reflected from the clan that he used (Dimension Police), meaning that he's a person who had a high sense of justice, and the fact that much of the Dimensional Police card design is based on Ultraman (Enigman) and Kamen Rider (Masked Police) means that he loved tokusatsu as much as he loved Vanguard game.

[spoiler=Bio]Bio :

At his early life, Kentaro is just a bookworm who prefer study more than anything (Except watching tokusatsu). He thinks that card game is just a waste of time, and it does not benefit him in any way. But his perception about card games soon change when one of his friend brought him to a card shop by the name of Radiance that's just re-opened under a new management. When he watched his friend playing Vanguard, he becomes bored and decided to talk with the shop owner whose name is Daiki Unabara. From Daiki, Kentaro learned that Vanguard game is just not for killing time, but also to release some stress and is a good way to have fun with friends. After talking with Daiki, Kentaro decided that he at least try to play Vanguard.

 

After he tried to play Vanguard, he stated that it's a lot of fun. Because of that, he changed his habit from studying to playing Vanguard. After some month playing Vanguard, he becomes a maniac that always visit "Radiance Card Shop" to play Vanguard.

Do I need to write the cards that I use in my deck?

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I just learned how to play incredibly recently, but it's not that hard. It takes elements from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, Magic: the Gathering, and a few other areas and adds its own little twists, such as the fact that all of the cards are units, their equivalent of monsters. The best way is to go online or to a game shop and have someone teach you. Cray Online is a pretty good resource, though it takes some navigating.

[RogueZero]

I already watch the first episode, and I have to say, that is so f*ckin amazing!

 

I think I get the handle of it ...

[spoiler=Yuja Crosstar]

Name: Yuja Crosstar

Gender: Male

Age: 16
 

[spoiler=Appearance]

[/spoiler]
 

[spoiler=Personality]
Yuja is fairly reserved and doesn't like to talk to anyone that he doesn't know personally, although this wasn't entirely the case. When he was a kid, he had a near-death experience whilst playing football with his friends. When the football ended up on the road, Yuja elected to get the ball himself, but as he picked up the ball, a car was pulling up and was about to hit him when a stranger stepped in and saved him in the nick of time, though it left him in shock for a while. It was this near-death experience that brought on his exceptional memory, preserving every moment in his life. When cardfighting, Yuja reverts to his younger self and just has fun since it supresses his memory of the accident.

[/spoiler]
 

[spoiler=Bio]
As a child, Yuja enjoyed having fun with the other kids in the neighbourhood which would then become his close circle of friends, and they would either play football or play harmless practical jokes on the people in the neighbour. It was a good life for the carefree lads and they all thought that nothing bad would ever happen to them as long as they were careful, but they were wrong.

One day, the boys were playing football when Yuja kicked the ball too hard and it ended up on the road. None of the boys didn't want to get the ball themselves, but Yuja volunteered himself as it was his fault the ball ended up on the road. As he went to pick it up, a car was pulling up at the time just as he picked up the ball. It was then that a stranger walking his dog noticed this that he stepped in, grabbed Yuja and saving his life, though this left him in shock for a while. It was through this near-death experience that Yuja had gained an exceptional memory and memorized every aspect of his life after that.

Ever since the near-death experience, Yuja became reserved and didn't enjoy playing football much anymore. His friend James didn't like the change in Yuja and his brother told him that he should play a card game and took him to the nearest card shop. When they arrived as Vanguard game was going on and James urged Yuja to watch the game as he thought it'd be fun and afterwards, Yuja wanted to get into Vanguard himself. Buying a few booster packs, Yuja memorized the effects of each card and when he saw Dragonic Kaiser Vermilion, he stared at it and decided that is the deck he wanted to play. Through playing Vanguard, his friends had noticed a change in Yuja, in the fact that he was having fun again, and they thought that they could enjoy life like they used to do, but he still remained as reserved as ever around others though.

[spoiler=Desu Shinji]
Name: Desu Shinji

Gender: Male

Age: 15
 

[spoiler=Appearance]

[/spoiler]
 

[spoiler=Personality]
Desu is the kind of guy who is all over that place with his emotions. One day he might be super happy and joke around with his friends, not having a care in the world, but on another day he could be super depressed, thinking about his brother Ken and would aks his friends to be left alone, and his behaviour has been like that since his brother, Ken died. Before Ken died, Desu was a happy kid and would enjoy playing with Ken, whether it be in a cardfight or playing on the computer. His erratic/changeable behaviour has also occured in his cardfights as he seems to ramble on during his turns and he also likes to overreact when he rides his brother's favourite card, Spectral Duke Dragon, a card that he promised his brother that he'd use moments before his death.

[/spoiler]
 

[spoiler=Bio]
When Desu was brought into the world, his parents knew that like his older brother Ken, that he would also get into playing Vanguard. Whilst his mother was taking care of Desu, she would let him watch her husband and Ken play Vanguard so that he can get to grips with the rules and pick them up when he got older, and it was through watching these games, that he would say his first word: "Vanguard?" although he said it as if he was confused by saying it, but nevertheless, his family laughed and were also happy for him as it was the first stepping stone in getting him to playing Vanguard.

When he got older, his parents built him his very own Gold Paladin deck much like his brother, however focusing on a different win condition to his brother, that being Blond Ezel and his older brother who also used Gold Paladin, focusing on Spectral Duke Dragon. jumped to the chance to play him every day after school. However it wasn't long before a tradgedy befalled the family. One day Desu was excited to play his brother and waited by the window for him to come in through the door, but he never came back. Desu still waited for his brother for hours until the family got a call from the hospital, where it was explained that Ken had been shot by a thug that was chasing him. Desu felt bad for his brother and promised him that if he were to die, that he would use his Gold Paladin deck in memory of him, and when Ken was confirmed to have died, his death had caused Desu's emotions to go all erratic.

@Final: Awesome! I'm extremely happy for you. I'm looking forward for your two characters.

 

@RogueZero: Okay, man. I'll put you down for that. I'm glad this RP is introducing two people to Vanguard.(In a sense.)

 

@BritishSoul: Accepted. Interested to see how they'll interact with everyone. I'll edit the OP real quick.

 

As for my character, I'm hoping to get him in later today, but I might not due to testing and other crap going on today. Either way, I'll see what I can do, and I should still be able to frequent the thread enough to accept apps and reply to you guys.

[~Tico~]

Since my last post, I've suddenly been consumed by the desire to make a second character. Do you mind if I put in an additional reserve for Dark Irregulars?

[Justice Master]

I got that done for you, Corona.

I will take shop manager position just so its out of the way

 

Name:Delano Musayash
Gender: M
Age:20
Appearance:[spoiler=appearance]

Height: 6'1

Weight: 200lb

 

[/spoiler]
Personality: Calm-minded while having a firey passion for vanguard. Delano believes in fair-play even going as far as to buy packs from his own shop, and pull them infront of his customers to edit his own deck. He also is very generous to people occassionally giving a booster pack or even a Rare card from his collection to customers to help make their decks better to help them enjoy the game.  Delano has a competitive nature that causes him to challenge winners of his Shop tournaments to games for an extra rare card prize for defeating him, and occassionally Delano will play in his own shop tournaments.

Bio:

Delano grew up mostly in Japan, but has moved around the world due to his Father's work. nothing really special expect for the fact that his parents own several small business. Delano was introduced to vanguard on a business trip with his father to Tokyo. His father took Delano to a small cardshop in Tokyo where he noticed several people grouped around cheering, and watching an intense game of vanguard. The game peeked Delano's interest encouraging his father to allow him to play game. His father nodded in approval handing Delano a trial deck bought from the shopkeeper. The passion of the players in the shop inspired Delano to try and create his own Cardshop so players from not just in local community, but anyone from anywhere can come in and enjoy playing vanguard, make friends, and overall have a fun time.

 

Years later a few months after his 18th birthday, Delano's Father handed Delano a briefcase of money he saved for Delano to use on to start his own dream. Delano with great pride accepted the money, and used it to start up his own Cardshop. It has been 2 years, since that day with Delano's cardshop doing well, and inspiring young lads to enjoy vanguard with their friends like he was.

Name of Shop: Ryuugami
Shop Team Name: Team Ryuu

Bio:

2 years ago, when delano bought cardshop it was nothing more then a small rundown office building with cracked walls, holes in the ceiling, and various other problems. Delano bought the property wanting to turn an eye sore into a valuable asset for the community. Delano hired various people he know from his Father's connections to transform the space into his desired cardshop. The Renovation of the building took a full month to get in its current condition of a fully functioning card shop. 

The shop has been in business for 2 years, with none of its teams making it past regional tournaments yet, but still holds an enjoyable environment that promotes players desire to aim for the top of the vanguard world.

You can make changes to your decks. It'd be better if you stuck to your chosen clans, but unless it's an insane choice, I won't stop you.

 

Obviously not accepted due to it being incomplete with the lack of appearance, but I feel there's some other stuff I'd like you to do. At least acknowledge somewhere that he created his shop out of an old husk, as there were shops there before. Also, add another line to the personality. It's not quite the paragraph I'd want.

 

Once these things are changed, I'll look over it again, but you're pretty much accepted after that.

[DeathSDelano]

alright, I will finish up the personality and shop tomorrow have to think on it.

[Justice Master]

Okay, I'll check on it tomorrow. Here's most of my app. I still need his appearance and a blueprint for the shop, but those will be provided tomorrow. Hopefully, we can start this pretty soon!

 

[spoiler='My Application']Name: Daiki Unabara

Gender: Male

Age: 23

[spoiler='Appearance']

Due to his inexperience with ownership, he tends not to wear a uniform. Instead, he wears a button custom made for his card shop. He does stand at six feet and weighs about 180 lbs.[/spoiler]
 
[spoiler='Personality']Daiki has been known to be the more confusing one when it came to the groups that accepted him. He was generally accepted as being rather intelligent and known to have lost of passion and love for Vanguard. With that in mind, he's been known to get carried away in the game, never to the point of true anger or frustration, but still getting overly involved. Daiki is a pretty friendly guy, as he considers just about everyone, especially his customers, to be friends. Even armed with his vast knowledge, there are times where he's not quite able to understand the emotions of others. However, he's been known to be easily frustrated in certain situations and even get very defensive of those he considers his friends. Overlooking his small shop, he hopes to see people love this shop as much as he did.[/spoiler]

[spoiler='Bio']As with most other people, Daiki's first encounters with Vanguard happened at a young age. There was really nothing too special about the first time he saw a cardfight, at least, nothing that could be seen through another's eyes. That first match he laid eyes on showed him a world of infinite possibility and never-ending enjoyment. As he started moving on to the bigger and more difficult schools, he was still able to keep his grades at excellent levels, allowing him an abundance of free time to spend at his local card shop, Game Haven. The people he met there accepted him and in a few short weeks, he was able to make the shop's own team.

 

Interestingly, while all those cardfights were occurring, Daiki was up to something himself. A deck he was creating, though the cards were quite rare. Before the first tournament, he had finally finished this piece of true Vanguard historia. However, he had created this deck unlike the other ones. This one was made to bring his team to sure victory. And in most of the rounds of the regional tournament, it did. That's when they had gotten to the finals. All he had to do was win his one game and he was with a deck that could do such. But that's when he made just one misplay. This misplay ruined everything and caused his team to lose. The leader immediately kicked him off of the team.

 

The abandonment by the team leader caused him to leave Vanguard and his favorite shop. Either way, he was about to go for college. He didn't need a card game to distract him. In his time there he began to think about the situation more clearly and through a less offended perspective. It might've been for the best. He decided he could go back and make amends. When he drove up, Daiki was surprised to see a "For Sale" sign hanging upon the shop. None of the old regulars of the card shop he once knew were still there. They had all moved on. He didn't want to see his favorite little place fade away like that. After a lengthy talk with manager and a visit to the bank to get his few remaining funds, the shop had been passed down upon to him. The first thing he needed to do was create a new name, one that represented the shop Daiki was making. One that represented the place's bright future.[/spoiler]

Clan: Undecided(Although he does have a clan he considers to be his, he just down't use it enough anymore.)

Shop Manager: Yes

 

[spoiler='Shop']Name of Shop: Card Shop Radiance

Shop Team Name: Team Sol

Bio: As the small building that once used to stand tall as Game Haven, Radiance had a tough act to follow. Thankfully, in it's six month lifespan it's been able to attract a new audience and gain a considerable amount of sales. While the shop has gone without many notable happenings, it's really highly due to the young age of the shop overall. It's current owner is determined and it's future is as bright as the shop's name.

 

Other Info:

1- Entrance. Two glass push doors. A small bell is placed at the top of both, ringing when a customer enters or leaves.

2- Counter. Complete with card packs behind it, propped upon the wall for easy view and cash register.

3- Cardfighting tables.

4- Chair.[/spoiler]

[Love of Ghibli]

Name: Reese Evergreen
Gender: Male
Age: 17
[spoiler: Appearance:] [/spoiler]
Personality:Reese is a nerd if there ever was one. He prides himself on the random trivia he knows and random facts he could spout out at a moment notice. He really tries hard to make himself appear humble but his lack of humility slips out every now and again. While he does believe in the importance of making friends and thus he tries his hardest befriend everyone. This may come across as severely aggressive or simply he is trying to hard but his intentions are noble. Second while he may not care anything about typical high school problems due to his being a foreigner he does have an odd disliking for Narakumi and Kagero players. Its nothing too offensive it's just that he feels that people that play only those two clans feel like they have a monopoly on using dragons. A lot of clans have dragons and he wants his deck of dragons to gain some recognition as well. He prides himself on his knowledge of Vanguard as a card game mainly because that is why he is in Japan in the first place.

 

Bio: Jacob is a pure blooded American. His life was pretty normal until he started getting into the ways of vanguard. Due to his constant studying of the game he became quite good at it. He would win regional tournaments but never national ones. He still had potential though. So much potential that he was offered the opportunity to go study abroad in Japan at a prestigious school that focused on Vanguard studies. It was quite impressive and it was quite the honor so naturally his family let him leave for this brave new world. At his school he realized that Vanguard portion of the curriculum was a lot prominent than he ever thought a card game would be. He wasn't the only foreigner there he was actually one of many. This meant that he had to crank his brain up to 100 percent and actually put in some effort, which was already hard since he was barely getting used to the language barrier.

 

Nevertheless school was pretty fun. Sure classes were harder and for some odd reason so were the extracurriculars. As for his placement in the Vanguard rankings he was periodically mid tier. As he understood the top members of the program were slated to compete as national teams. Reese always wanted to be a member of one those selected teams but he was constantly getting failing to place high enough in the schools ranking system. Pale Moons are such a tricky deck to go against. Reese figures that in order to make himself better at the game he would have to devote some time outside of the school to train thus bringing him to one of the three neighboring card shops.

I had to remove all app images from the OP for the time being. I'll fix that for you guys later. I'm currently in a bad position when it comes to my placement and my duty to fix the images.

[DeathSDelano]

updated my app with longer shop bio and extra personality line

[Justice Master]

Not quite yet. There isn't a line minimum on Shop Bio, so that will do, however you still need to add more on Personality. It may be on the fourth line, but that's not what I meant. Extend it to the end of the fourth line(Which should only take about 15-20 more words) and then I'll over see it. Also, this isn't a necessity but rather a request, could you fix the formatting so the rest of the app isn't stuffed away within the appearance spoiler?
