Aix Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 IC [hr] [hr]A wild rumor had been spreading through online science communities, rousing the rabble and creating heated discussions all across the Internet. Unlike usual days, where the second-year university student would slump back in his chair feeling tired and somewhat dejected after a long day at work and another seemingly fruitless day at the lab, James Wang was upright, leaning forwards, eyes wide in tension and anticipation as he watched the multitude of conversations unfold on @channel.SERN is going to offer a reward of 10 million USD to the first person to present them with a design of a functional time machine of any kind and $90 million to a person who presents SERN with a time machine design they deem useful and operational. He had multiple windows open, showing multiple conversations, but they all showed more or less the same thing, the same hubbub of excited science enthusiasts. The replies flooded each window at a faster pace than ever, exceeding the reply limit within minutes and requiring someone to constantly have to create a new thread in order to continue the conversation. “Why is SERN suddenly doing this?” “You guys are so gullible” “Do they really expect someone to be able to create a time machine?” “Is this legit?” “Guys, it’s obviously a scam.” “F*** it, I’m in. 10 million, here I come!” James was skeptical, but he couldn’t help but tremble with excitement at the prospect. I need the money now... Father... just you wait... He had to win this. He had already been researching how to create a time machine as the founding member of Victor Qondria University’s Time Research Lab so he should have a head start on anyone else.*Da-ling* His phone beeped, telling him that he had a new e-mail, James tore his eyes from the computer screen to have a quick glance at the sender, expecting spam. To his surprise, it was another student at the university. Though he recognized the name as one of his fellow science students, he didn’t actually know the person. Scratching his head, he opened the message and his eyes widened. It was an application to join the Time Research Lab. James blinked. How rare was it for someone to join them? With a sad smile, James realized that they were probably out for a share of the reward. Nevertheless, they needed new members, they needed the extra help and they needed the extra budget that having a larger member base would bring and they couldn’t turn them down without a really valid reason.[hr] [spoiler=Plot]October 2010, approximately right after the events of Steins;Gate.You are someone who is, in one way or another, involved with James and/or the Victor Qondria University Time Research Lab’s scheme to create a time machine and win 10 million dollars from SERN. This RP will follow the daily lives of its members and the impact and consequences that time travel would bring to your lives. While this RP takes place in the same world as Steins;Gate, you are in Los Angeles, California, where the Victor Qondria University is located rather than Japan. There will be contact with some canon characters, especially Makise Kurisu who also attends the school, however, no prior knowledge of the series is necessary.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Rules]All YCM rules apply. 1. No flaming, trolling or spamming. 2. No godmodding (being OPed, keep in mind this is a realistic RP taking place modern day). 3. No powerplaying (taking control or using other people’s characters without permission). 4. No copy-pasting/expying characters from other RPs without tailoring them to this RP. 5. No short posting, all IC posts must be at least 4 lines in length. 6. My word is law. You may try to convince me on some things, but if I say there is no arguing, don’t argue. 7. Use common sense at all times.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Information]No prior knowledge of the anime, Steins;Gate, is necessary. We will be following the anime, so Makise Kurisu will have red hair. SERN is a deliberate misspelling of CERN. The date is October 1st, 2010. I will be playing a central character of James Wang, but just like the series Steins;Gate itself, everyone will get a turn in the spotlight and unlike Steins;Gate, they won’t all have to involve James himself. Romance and stuff is encouraged. [spoiler=Victor Qondria University - Los Angeles Campus]Victor Qondria University is a prestigious university for the sciences, with a hard to get into science program, though it is otherwise a rather average university. [spoiler=Campus Map]Might do this later if you guys deem it really necessary.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Time Research Lab]More information will be available as apps are accepted. It was founded on May 21, 2011 by James Wang after his proposal to get a research grant from the university was finally accepted. It got accepted partially due to the fact that they were tired of him constantly pestering them and partially due to the fact that James had changed the research goal from creating a time machine to looking more closely at quantum mechanics and wormholes.

I only wish I could go back to straighten it out." [hr]Personal Information [hr]Username: ★ 24/7 - No Br'Aix ★ Name: James Wang Age: 20 Gender: Male Date of Birth: January 9, 1990 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance]James is a moderately tall young man at 183 cm (6’) with a slim, lean build at 60 kg (132 lbs) grace to his good metabolism. He is of pure Chinese descent, with dark brown, almond-shaped eyes, relatively flat and soft features and slightly tanned skin. He generally wears a calm but clueless expression on his face. His hair is black, like most Asians, and looks brown, almost orange, under the light. He wears it somewhat long in the front, but parts the bangs slightly so that it doesn’t get into his face too much. James is mostly dressed in black, grey, beige or red, his most commonly seen attire would be a dark grey hoodie with the zipper wide open revealing the beige fur inner side over a mostly plain red shirt and skinny black jeans with his black running shoes. He doesn’t wear any jewellery or accessories beyond the sports watch he wears on his left hand.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Despite his outwardly calm expression, James can be quite excitable. He is ungodly lazy half the time, it seems nothing could prompt him into action, but at times when something interests him, he is more enthusiastic than anyone else. However, James is clumsy, knocking things over in excitement and occasionally tripping over his laces which he is too lazy to tie, and has little patience for detail, something very important in his field, and he is willing to skim over proper procedures, which he mostly deems unnecessary, and skip reading any fine text, thus, he sometimes hinders more than he helps. James would never raise his voice in anger at anyone, even when they utterly screw something up, of course, this situation is very rare anyway as it is often James himself who screws things over, but James tends to blame himself for anything bad that happens. He has a strong sense of responsibility, which is rarely exercised as James tries to stay out of things, and he takes it upon himself to right all wrongs. In dire situations, James shows a side of him that is not usually present, when he really takes control of the situation and demonstrates a certain degree of cleverness and leadership. James does indeed have some inner genius in him, but he rarely displays it and his carelessness hinders him, preventing him to really display it.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory]James’s family moved from China to San Francisco, California in 1995, when James was 5 years old, in hopes of a better life. His parents both found work there as engineers. It would appear that they would be able to lead a happy life, when, James’s mother died in a traffic incident on the way home on James’s tenth birthday. The whole family went into shock, but no one was more impacted than James’s father. He drowned his grief with alcohol, becoming rough, confused and blaming others for James’s mother’s death. He lost his job as he came to work one day completely drunk. Things got worse and James’s father’s health spiralled downwards. He had a few heart attacks, each damaging his heart further and as of today, he is kept in the hospital, requiring a heart transplant. At the same time, James’s brother, who is three years his elder, Erik, went off with the bad crew, getting involved with violence and drugs. He was arrested multiple times, but was released each time due to lack of evidence, Erik’s cunning kept him from landing behind bars. However, James realized that Erik couldn't possibly stay safe for long in such a dangerous environment, but before James could try to persuade Erik, his brother left home entirely and James and his father have lost contact with him. James, going with his father's wishes, focused on his education the best he can, even getting into the prestigious Victor Qondria University with a minor scholarship. He currently lives with a family of four who live close enough to the university to walk, renting a room with them.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other Info]James's favorite beverage is Dr. Pepper. He likes anime, though not to the point of obsession. He frequents @channel, the online textboard, like most, anonymously. He currently boards with a family of 4 who live near the university and gets along quite well with them.[/spoiler] [hr][/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=ListenToLife/Chris Smith]"I look for truths in lies, facts in falsities, patterns in randomness. I see numbers and see their mystery, their truths. I see physics and I see my life, my passion, whereas others might see nonsense and irrelevance. I look at the cosmos, and I see true beauty, the essence of life itself." [hr]Personal Information [hr]Username: ListenToLifeName: Christopher 'Chris' SmithAge: 18Gender: MaleDate of Birth: 22 January 1992 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance]Chris stands at roughly 5'11 with a rather thin and scrawny figure, perhaps typical of prejudged 'nerds'. He sports medium length, scruffy brown hair, that falls just below his ears at the side and back, and brushes his eyeline at the front, resulting in him regularly having to blow it out of his face, though it generally does very little. Even extensive use of hair gel or wax doesn't seem to be of any assistance to it, much to the frustration of himself, his mother and any that have attempted to style his hair. He has a thin, bland face that looks as if he might've been underfed, with pale skin that contrasts his dark green eyes, themselves contrasted heavily against the thin bags under his eyes. He often sports rather thin, practical glasses, though when he considers an occasion important, he will use contacts, which improves his appearance slightly. He generally adorns himself in a simple open checkered shirt over a plain top, of vary colours, and a pair of simple denim jeans. He also wears a pair of simple black and white converse shoes, the soles of which are rather worn, and the normally white rubber sides are darkened slightly from years of use. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Chris is nothing short of a pure genius, through and through. He has an in depth knowledge of most aspects of what he considers 'useful' physics - ie, any that could have relevance to his interests in the universe; eg, Mathematical physics, Quantum physics, Astrophysics, etc. He's rather prejudiced when it comes to sciences, and will often disregard the opinions of even other physicists, if he considers their field 'unworthy'. In particular, Biologists do not mix well with him, for he regards it as the 'easy' science. He does, however, have a decent enough knowledge of most fields anyway, enough to be able to work with members of the fields on a professional level. He is, at heart, a mathematician, being on good terms with most of the mathematics faculty and a great deal of the students, when not correcting them on mistakes they have made. He is, though not a perfectionist, or even a very neat person, what he calls a 'correctionist', a sub-species of perfectionist that solely has that almost OCD behaviour towards mistakes, correcting anything at anytime, if he considers it to be incorrect. He is deeply offended whenever someone believes he has made a mistake, and can make a large debate out of said occurences, even if it is only the slightest of things. Indeed, making a mistake can often lead him to 'sulk', and remain quiet for a while, refusing to speak to people and instead making his way to his dorm, where he will take out his aggression with particularly complicated equations or similar things. He can be polite when necessary, and will often try to make friends with people he doesn't know particularly well. However, a mild case of Aspergers syndrome can have an effect at this point, as he doesn't have much talent at dealing with social situations in a nice way, often either inadvertantly insult the person he is talking to, or put them off him, especially when talking to those of the opposite gender. However, such awkward quirks can be rather charming, and his youth and professionalism have gained him some respect from many of the faculty and a few students. He also tries to be modest, often refusing to go into topics on his intellect. While he is aware he is rather intelligent compared to the majority of his peers, and he knows that his youth does make him a strange sight at the university, he chooses not to stay on it, as he knows that youth and pure talent are not the basis for success, but hard-work and determination, which he focusses into his work. He has a certain attractive charm and charisma to him which can often make people overlook his flaws, and while he may stutter a bit and get flustered, he is polite enough to not insult many people, and is not a socially awkward as he once was, meaning he can actually communicate well enough with some people, particularly those he knows well and has worked with. He has a particular fascination for the 'impossible', looking mostly into studies dealing with this impossibilities, such as wormhole/faster than light travel and manipulation of gravity. More recently, particularly with the reward from SERN, he has become rather fond of Time-travel possibilities, having already formulated some theories himself, and has become rather obsessed with the notion, quickly rushing to sign up to the Time Research Lab, knowing James Wang from some shared classes and with the wish to spread some of his theories to some peers, as well as perhaps get some lab time and assistance on some equations. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory]Chris was born in Leeds, England, and raised by a quite ordinary, but intelligent and open-minded family. His father was already a talented mathematician, though he had made bad choices in his own child hood, which led to a lack of success. As such, when he noticed his own child's aptitude for the subject, he instantly proceeded to nurture it, home-tutoring Chris himself when his son wasn't at school. Chris went through his GCSE qualifications in Maths and the 3 sciences at the same time kids his own age were finishing Englihs Primary school, and completed his A-levels in the subjects a year later. As such, while being a talented kid, he never bonded well with kids his own age, finding a few 'friends', and people who would accept him, but no-one he could get truly close to. He started University at 14, studying Mathematical Physics at the University of Bristol, where he quickly finished the course, passing with flying colours within the first year. The subject introduced him more to the world of physics, and in particular the world outside of the world - Astronomy took control of his interests. He would gaze at the stars for hours at a time, memorising the positions of every star he could see with the naked eye, and many he required a telescope to see. He headed the Astronomy club at the University for a short while, his youth and natural intelligence charming many of the students within the club. The next year, when his brother moved up into high school, the family took the opportunity to move to America, having received an offer from Victor Qondia University for Chris to study there. His father, excited at the offer, instantly accepted, and the family was moved to the USA. Having spent the last 3 years at the University, he has become a sort of familiar face to those within the departments he associates with, and even sometimes outside of them. He can be resented by some students, in particular those who started the same time as him, and have only just finished their single degree in that time, at 21, whereas he has gained 2 other degrees, alongside a Masters. However, he has managed to make a few friends on campus, and his recent joining to the Time Research Lab puts him alongisde many other brilliant minds, such as James Wang, and he doesn't plan on making any enemies with $10 million at stake. His parents divorced a Year ago due to his mother thinking his father grew too obsessive over Chris' success, not paying enough attention to the rest of the family. They recently moved back to the UK, though Chris still makes contact with them, and manages to pay for music lessons for his brother through a shared bank-account. His father, however, has sunk into a slowly worsening depression which involves increasing alcoholism and worrying amounts of time locked away in his home. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other]~Originating from England, he speaks with an accent of Yorkshire origin, though this can often confuse some of the more 'ignorant' americans, pre-stereotyping him before he speaks. ~Large fan of the TV show Doctor Who, having been raised on it from a young child. He has rewatched it recently, adding to his recent obsession with time-travel. ~Has multi-layered black-boards fitted into the walls of his dorm room, which are often filled with equations for his recent obsessions/theories. Many are currently covered in massive white scribbles. ~Despite his youth, he is currently working towards a Doctorate in Astrophysics, and holds both a Masters and Bachelors degree in the subject, as well as degrees in Quantum and Mathematical Physics. ~Though a great mathematician and scientist, he lacks much skill in literacy, and while he can read and write sufficiently, he isn't a very good speller, and has almost illegible hand-writing. ~Has a younger Brother that is often overlooked in favour of Chris' mental talents. Chris is currently one of the few people to notice the brother's innate talent for music, and currently pays for piano, guitar and violin lessons for the 14 year old, so they have a good relationship. ~Insomniac and Caffiene Addict, drinking way too much Coffee. His Insomnia has been getting worse with struggles over this Time travel conundrum, which has been rather frustrating for him. ~Leader of the University Chess Team, Head of the Astronomy Club and a Member of the University's 'matheletes', though he's not a big fan of the title.

[hr]Personal Information Username: TatteredSleeves Name: Roy L. Amos Age: 22 Gender: Male Date of Birth: November 11th [hr] [spoiler=Appearance]Roy stands six feet and three inches tall, his eyes are a deep and tired muddy brown and typically lined with greyish bags. He does not sleep well. His hair is black and very thick, his face is marked with stubble across his jawline. He keeps himself very well dressed button-up shirts with a vest or overshirt over top, a tie (usually black or red) and a brown belt with matching khaki pants and black dress shoes. Roy is a very plain looking man, the face of a man who works late into the night, but what stands out about him is the simple fact that his right arm stops just at his elbow and a well-developed mechanical prosthetic arm begins. A gleaming chrome providing a sharp contrast to the remainder of him.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Before his accident Roy was a man who took the easy road down life. He didn't take much of anything seriously and as a result of that he was considered a real party animal, despite his intellect. He would often attend and enjoy the frat life at the college he was attending. He was considered a real charmer as well, always seen with this or that 'girl of the month' and had a very celebrity-like personality. After the accident he realised life was fleeting, and that he was wasting his life. He immediately devoted the whole of himself to his studies, he became a man devoted to the fruits of work and when he constructed his new arm himself, exactly to his specifications, he was prouder than any man. Roy sees that the value of a man is in what his hands can create, he expects a great many things of himself and great things of others, he tries to bring out the 'most' in other people around him and because of this he can seem pushy, abrasive, and sometimes even a bit of a jerk. But at the core of his being he is a true philanthropist at heart, believing that a man's work is best put towards the betterment of his fellow man.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory]Four years ago Roy worked in his father's factory with machinery, he spent his time outside the factory enjoying the fast life women, parties, and a wide circle of friends. Then a fateful accident crushed his arm up to the elbow, it was completely irrepairable the grisly accident left not only his body, but his mind altered. It took finishing university and crafting a new arm for himself from solid steel in order to restore his confidence in himself.[/spoiler] [hr][/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler Tico/Charlene Yukuhashi] "If one starts moving upward from zero, the only way forward leads to the endless expanse of infinite possibility. And even if the road should be paved with despair and regret, there is always the one path that leads to the conclusion filled with hopeful light...Well now, shall we venture down this path together?" [hr]Personal Information [hr]Username: ~Tico~ Name: Charlene Yukuhashi Age: 19 Gender: Female Date of Birth: October 29, 1991 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance] Charlene stands at about 6’ 3’’ (164 cm) but with a thinner build than most at only 47 kg, due her general habit of skipping one meal a day. She keeps her black hair relatively short, being at most up to the base of her neck towards the back. Her eyes are a dark brown (though they appear almost black) and her skin is a relatively healthy color, albeit with a slight pale tinge. Her general expression is bland, most of the time with a bored feel to it, although it sometimes slips into lapses of a more depressed appearance. Charlene’s attire is not particularly complicated either. She wears a long-sleeved black shirt upon her torso, which is complimented with a grey skirt. She also has black leggings and shoes of the same color with buckles. The only accessory worn is a necklace around her neck, one that’s not particularly elaborate, just with white pearls. On some occasions, she might be seen carrying a white cat, which is a stray that is often found wandering the school campus and which Charlene has found a certain fondness for. [spoiler=Image]http://images.wikia.com/typemoon/images/0/0d/Alice_casual.png Charlene in her casual outfit. [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality] Probably the most immediate trait that people associate with Charlene is her preference to remain silent. This particular mannerism is born out of numerous aspects of herself, the most prominent being a mild shyness, her own tendency to mangle her words by stammering (especially when nervous), and of course, her own view of “speech” being a troublesome thing. Thus, she keeps quiet for most of the time, only speaking if circumstances force its necessity. In all other occasions, if she needs something said, she utilizes her tablet computer to write down the words before holding it for the person she intends to speak with to see. Her roundabout way of talking is indeed bizarre, but for the most part, the people she has “spoken” with using such a method have gotten used to it, as Charlene speaks with these people on a more-or-less daily basis. Once the barrier of getting her to talk is overcome, one can really begin to appreciate the actual Charlene. Charlene herself is kind and relatively open-hearted in manner, with a seemingly infinite patience to boot, making it difficult to truly enrage her. While she does address practically everyone in a familiar way devoid of respect or disdain, she does so in a perfectly innocent way that makes it difficult to fault or reprimand her for such. She also has an intense curiosity in practically everything unknown to her, and can be found poring over documents related to her topic of choice. This curiosity, however, extends to people and so if people happen to be having problems, Charlene would not be a bad choice to turn to. She is more than willing to listen and help them sort out their feelings, albeit in an impersonal sort of way due to her “people experience” coming from books on psychology. However, as much good might be in her heart, while light exists, shadows will, too. Charlene is not above using intimidation (complete with scary aura) in order to deal with most unsavory individuals that cross her path. Some people fear her for such, but as it is, they fear the wrong thing. For those she truly despises (the "really bad" people), Charlene reserves the treatment of using their darkest fears, their shameful secrets, and whatever else she can uncover to ensure that they never trouble her or anyone else again. Such an event has not happened since her first year of high school, but her uncanny capability of coldly using her target's weaknesses to psychologically strike at them betrays the cruel nature that stands alongside her usual kindness. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory] Charlene was born in Phoenix, Arizona. Before her birth, her parents had moved there for reasons related to her father's job, else she would've grown up in her parents' native Nagoya back in Japan. Charlene was born 3 years later, and in an attempt to help their child "fit in" with American society, she was given an English name, rather than a Japanese one. Since the age of 6 or so, Charlene's interests have deviated from the expected "norm". Rather than toys, her general form of entertainment stemmed from disassembling various objects to examine their internal workings before reassembling them as best she could to learn how to fix them. Although her mother was somewhat worried about her handling of the occasionally more hazardous objects, her own former experience as a student of the sciences allowed her to understand and even encourage Charlene's spirit of curiosity. As Charlene moved into middle school, her interests also extended into technology and what might be her most favored topic, psychology. Nothing else of particular importance happened between her entry into elementary school and the present time...except for one little incident that occurred halfway through 7th grade. During a spring vacation, a childhood friend of Charlene’s by the name of Laura died. Earlier in the day, her and her family had dropped by before leaving on a trip abroad. However, just some days before, Charlene and Laura had a squabble over something. It might’ve been important, it might’ve been a trifle. Whatever the case, Charlene apparently harbored bitter thoughts about the matter and refused to even see Laura. Thus, the two friends never met face to face on that fateful day, as Laura and her family died in a disastrous crash on the highway, one that also involved several other collisions and deaths. Charlene has regretted that her stubbornness had left her without that final chance to say goodbye and believed had she seen her friend as normal or even persuaded them to hang about at her house for a while, she and her family would not have been caught up in the crashes and would thus still be alive. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other] - Charlene is an avid player of Rai-Net Access Battlers, which has spread to the States after huge commercial success in Japan. - While it is not rare to see Charlene smile, getting her to laugh is an entirely different matter and a running joke she came up with is that one would need laughing gas or something of a similar sort to get even a giggle out of her, [/spoiler][/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Admiral Stalfos/Amelia Therein]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/302190-twistedreality-oocnsaccepting/?p=6208635[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Enrise/Miro Vlad]"Imagine, a world with a true harmonious state of being, without the need for war, for deceit, plots, and utmost domination for survival, where we as a collective human species can live together in peace.

[hr]Personal Information [hr]Username: Enrise Name: Miro Vlad Age: 21 Gender: Male Date of Birth: February 13th, 1989 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance] Almost a 6' 2" tall character, Miro is fairly slender in his height; though weighs 150 lbs, just within the ideal body weight for his height. He's almost like a male version of Snow White, with pale skin and glossy black hair. He has a pair of bright gray coloration that stand out against the sclera of his eyes (contrary to the picture). Normally he doesn't have his hair in any particular style, so it usually appears in disarray, sleeked backwards, or let loose. On occasion he will have it in a pony tail. His face is usually straight and bleak, though he will express himself when it's useful (such as laughing at a joke). He usually wears dress clothes - suit and tie - of different colors, his most notable one being white. Sometimes he will change his clothing attire and appear more casual, but still professional. He believes that to impress someone, one must look impressive. Otherwise for jewelry, he wears a few rings on his right hand; the index, middle, and ring fingers. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality] Usually a calm fellow, Miro usually takes the backseat in most affairs that happen in front of him. However, while he frequents in discussion with other people depending on the topic, he tends to stay quite a lot. Sometimes erratic and confusing to others in his ideals, he also tries to explain them so even a child can understand them. Though his ideals aren't confusing, they're just absurdly unrealistic to most to believe. However, he feels that anything is possible. Miro is also a huge pacifist (explained in back story) and can't stand anyone fighting in front of him, and will either try to get in between the conflict or try something to stop it. He'll also try to mediate between friends and people to try and settle the score so it doesn't escalate into a violent conflict. He'll always try to help others out, even if he's sacrificing his own time, money, energy, etc. when they want it. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory] Born originally in Russia during the fall of the Soviet and rise of the Federation, the depression of the economy hit his family hard. Struggling to make ends meet, his mother and father had to sell the house and live with friends and family in Chechnya. However, when the First Chechen War occurred, his father became a fight for the Chechen while his mother prepared to flee the country with Miro. However, before they could officially leave, at the last minute, a Russian attack was made on the city they lived in; attacks astray, bombs array, and bullets away. Within an hour, the whole city was in flames and bodies were accumulating on the streets and houses. When Miro awoke after a bombing, he saw his mother dead, and tried to cry out for help. When Russian soldiers appeared, they saw the little boy. Astonished, they didn't kill him, but helped him escape the country. When he arrived in America, he lived with a upper class family who never had a child due to infertility, and treated him like a son they never had. Although unsure of what to think, he appreciated their kindness. To this day, the image of warfare has scarred Miro. He currently lives alone in an apartment near the university with occasional support from his family. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other] His escape from reality is the music he listens to. He occasionally adopts an animal or two from the shelter, or takes one in from the streets, and cares for it. He's currently studying Biology (Major) and Chemistry (Minor), while is also privately studying Psychology, Humanities, Anthropology, etc. And occasionally reads up on other topics of study such as Astronomy or Physics for fun, even though he can't make use of it.

Makise Kurisu) Age: 18 Gender: Female Date of Birth: July 25, 1992 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance]Kurisu Makise is somewhat below average height at 160 cm (5'2") and is quite slim at 45 kg (100 lbs). She has grey eyes and brownish red hair long enough to reach her hips. She has an unusual fashion statement, with her outfit being composed of a white long sleeve dress shirt that is blue colored at the rims of the collars. Her shirt is tucked into a pair of black shorts, that is held up by a white belt with a gold buckle. She also wears a red tie that reaches to the point of her belt, as well as a long khaki sweater that reaches to her upper thigh, and has black and white straps at the end of both sleeves and the rim. She has a habit of wearing her sweater so that the back portion dangles to her back and is only kept from falling by a pair of belt-like accessories on her arms. She also wears black long socks, and a pair of black boots to complete her outfit.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Unlike people of her age, Kurisu has shown a more mature attitude, usually calm and collected even when someone is acting tense in front of her. She was always envied for her intelligence and distanced from others who may even treat her harshly, so she resolved not to show weakness to others, always wearing a stern expression. However, she can also show a much more timid side at times. She has been described as a tsundere. Kurisu's curiosity often gets the better of her. She sometimes has views that differ from regular opinion, like, "The experiment data is more important than the subject's privacy."[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other Info]I omitted the backstory, because that's not really important and your character shouldn't really know too much about her anyway. - She is famous, even making the news, for writing thesis papers. - She skipped a grade to go into university at such a young age. - Her father recently died in a plane accident.[/spoiler] [hr][/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Dr. Sanders]"You will never have enough time, so act now before you regret it and live life to its fullest...

(see picture for facial details). He typically wears a heavy, hoodless blue jacket, slightly worn jeans and big brown boots when walking around town or around campus.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Dr. Sanders is highly energetic and very enthusiastic about whatever he does, always encouraging his students to follow their dreams rather than the rules and is willing to break rules himself and act behind the scenes to help his students. He has a big booming laugh that may scare some who aren't used to him.[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other Info]Dr. Sanders is the supervising professor for the Time Research Lab, he fully approves of the research to create a time machine. He comes from a town in Lincolnshire, England, and speaks with a very slight accent.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr][/spoiler] [hr] If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

ListenToLife Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I dont actually have any knowledge on Stein's;gate, but it doesn't appear to be necessary at all. Besides, this RP seems like one I'dbe very good with, as I can pretty much 'be myself' in it, rather than fit a different character profile. xD Should be fun. And the awkward Semi-colon confused me at first. xD Makes sense now though Making the app now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astolfo Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Okay, sorry, but I probably won't be in this one. :( EDIT: It's because I'm already hosting an RP, I'm going to be in one that's already started later in the RP, and I'm not sure whether to take another, and these all seem interesting, but they just don't have that particular 'spark' to me that I like in RPs. It's a matter of personal taste, not general, so don't feel offended. I'm sorry Axi. If I join another RP, it would have to be something I host (for an interesting idea), or something exceptional. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 [spoiler=Applimication: ListenToLife/Christopher Smith]"I look for truths in lies, facts in falsities, patterns in randomness. I see numbers and see their mystery, their truths. I see physics and I see my life, my passion, whereas others might see nonsense and irrelevance. I look at the cosmos, and I see true beauty, the essence of life itself." [hr]Personal Information [hr]Username: ListenToLifeName: Christopher 'Chris' SmithAge: 18Gender: MaleDate of Birth: 22 January 1992 [hr] [spoiler=Appearance]Chris stands at roughly 5'11 with a rather thin and scrawny figure, perhaps typical of prejudged 'nerds'. He sports medium length, scruffy brown hair, that falls just below his ears at the side and back, and brushes his eyeline at the front, resulting in him regularly having to blow it out of his face, though it generally does very little. Even extensive use of hair gel or wax doesn't seem to be of any assistance to it, much to the frustration of himself, his mother and any that have attempted to style his hair. He has a thin, bland face that looks as if he might've been underfed, with pale skin that contrasts his dark green eyes, themselves contrasted heavily against the thin bags under his eyes. He often sports rather thin, practical glasses, though when he considers an occasion important, he will use contacts, which improves his appearance slightly. He generally adorns himself in a simple open checkered shirt over a plain top, of vary colours, and a pair of simple denim jeans. He also wears a pair of simple black and white converse shoes, the soles of which are rather worn, and the normally white rubber sides are darkened slightly from years of use. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]Chris is nothing short of a pure genius, through and through. He has an in depth knowledge of most aspects of what he considers 'useful' physics - ie, any that could have relevance to his interests in the universe; eg, Mathematical physics, Quantum physics, Astrophysics, etc. He's rather prejudiced when it comes to sciences, and will often disregard the opinions of even other physicists, if he considers their field 'unworthy'. In particular, Biologists do not mix well with him, for he regards it as the 'easy' science. He does, however, have a decent enough knowledge of most fields anyway, enough to be able to work with members of the fields on a professional level. He is, at heart, a mathematician, being on good terms with most of the mathematics faculty and a great deal of the students, when not correcting them on mistakes they have made. He is, though not a perfectionist, or even a very neat person, what he calls a 'correctionist', a sub-species of perfectionist that solely has that almost OCD behaviour towards mistakes, correcting anything at anytime, if he considers it to be incorrect. He is deeply offended whenever someone believes he has made a mistake, and can make a large debate out of said occurences, even if it is only the slightest of things. Indeed, making a mistake can often lead him to 'sulk', and remain quiet for a while, refusing to speak to people and instead making his way to his dorm, where he will take out his aggression with particularly complicated equations or similar things. He can be polite when necessary, and will often try to make friends with people he doesn't know particularly well. However, a mild case of Aspergers syndrome can have an effect at this point, as he doesn't have much talent at dealing with social situations in a nice way, often either inadvertantly insult the person he is talking to, or put them off him, especially when talking to those of the opposite gender. However, such awkward quirks can be rather charming, and his youth and professionalism have gained him some respect from many of the faculty and a few students. He also tries to be modest, often refusing to go into topics on his intellect. While he is aware he is rather intelligent compared to the majority of his peers, and he knows that his youth does make him a strange sight at the university, he chooses not to stay on it, as he knows that youth and pure talent are not the basis for success, but hard-work and determination, which he focusses into his work. He has a certain attractive charm and charisma to him which can often make people overlook his flaws, and while he may stutter a bit and get flustered, he is polite enough to not insult many people, and is not a socially awkward as he once was, meaning he can actually communicate well enough with some people, particularly those he knows well and has worked with. He has a particular fascination for the 'impossible', looking mostly into studies dealing with this impossibilities, such as wormhole/faster than light travel and manipulation of gravity. More recently, particularly with the reward from SERN, he has become rather fond of Time-travel possibilities, having already formulated some theories himself, and has become rather obsessed with the notion, quickly rushing to sign up to the Time Research Lab, knowing James Wang from some shared classes and with the wish to spread some of his theories to some peers, as well as perhaps get some lab time and assistance on some equations. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Backstory (Optional)]Chris was born in Leeds, England, and raised by a quite ordinary, but intelligent and open-minded family. His father was already a talented mathematician, though he had made bad choices in his own child hood, which led to a lack of success. As such, when he noticed his own child's aptitude for the subject, he instantly proceeded to nurture it, home-tutoring Chris himself when his son wasn't at school. Chris went through his GCSE qualifications in Maths and the 3 sciences at the same time kids his own age were finishing Englihs Primary school, and completed his A-levels in the subjects a year later. As such, while being a talented kid, he never bonded well with kids his own age, finding a few 'friends', and people who would accept him, but no-one he could get truly close to. He started University at 14, studying Mathematical Physics at the University of Bristol, where he quickly finished the course, passing with flying colours within the first year. The subject introduced him more to the world of physics, and in particular the world outside of the world - Astronomy took control of his interests. He would gaze at the stars for hours at a time, memorising the positions of every star he could see with the naked eye, and many he required a telescope to see. He headed the Astronomy club at the University for a short while, his youth and natural intelligence charming many of the students within the club. The next year, when his brother moved up into high school, the family took the opportunity to move to America, having received an offer from Victor Qondia University for Chris to study there. His father, excited at the offer, instantly accepted, and the family was moved to the USA. Having spent the last 3 years at the University, he has become a sort of familiar face to those within the departments he associates with, and even sometimes outside of them. He can be resented by some students, in particular those who started the same time as him, and have only just finished their single degree in that time, at 21, whereas he has gained 2 other degrees, alongside a Masters. However, he has managed to make a few friends on campus, and his recent joining to the Time Research Lab puts him alongisde many other brilliant minds, such as James Wang, and he doesn't plan on making any enemies with $10 million at stake. His parents divorced a Year ago due to his mother thinking his father grew too obsessive over Chris' success, not paying enough attention to the rest of the family. They recently moved back to the UK, though Chris still makes contact with them, and manages to pay for music lessons for his brother through a shared bank-account. His father, however, has sunk into a slowly worsening depression which involves increasing alcoholism and worrying amounts of time locked away in his home. [/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Other]~Originating from England, he speaks with an accent of Yorkshire origin, though this can often confuse some of the more 'ignorant' americans, pre-stereotyping him before he speaks. ~Large fan of the TV show Doctor Who, having been raised on it from a young child.

And even though these breasts seem to be Amelia's only assets in terms of sex appeal, they bring their own problems to the table; those being that they're not very perky at all, and are in fact [acronym='yes she CAN feel the weight of her own boobs']rather heavy for her personal liking.[/acronym] It's practically impossible to tell that Amelia is autistic just by looks alone, and one has to rely on the way she acts as any form of reminder. Amelia has 3 different outfits: her swimsuit, and clothes for winter and summer. Her summer outfit boils down to a black miniskirt accompanied by a rather decorative orange T-shirt, although she doesn't wear a bra underneath due to having past difficulties [acronym='lay off, pervs']putting one on and taking it back off[/acronym]. During the winter, Amelia replaces her miniskirt with similarly coloured trousers, and slings a heavy jacket over her T-shirt. Her swimsuit is mostly as shown below, although the bottom piece has a black elastic band on top. Finally, Amelia always wears a ruby pendant with her chosen outfit, which appears to be of a B2 bomber plane. [spoiler=Pic][/spoiler][/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Personality]James' girlfrie- *shot* K, back to the drawing board. ... Amelia has a mild case of autism, although she's rather reluctant to admit it. As such, she has an innate ability to solve basic maths problems, such as algebra and long division, without much thought. She also excels at spelling most words in the English dictionary, and is a fast reader. However, like most people suffering from autism whether mild or extreme, Amelia finds socializing a difficult task, and never hastens or breaks away from her daily routines; not even if she knows damn well she's running late. Amelia also has her host of personal mental issues that aren't commonly seen in other autistic persons, but of which she tends to blame her autism for anyway, such as an inability to multi-task unlike the vast majority of other girls in the world, [acronym=thankfully, she's not a violent person]being completely oblivious to the concept of conscience[/acronym], and a slight long-term memory loss; more specifically, certain childhood memories seem to up and vanish on Amelia for no apparent reason. On an actual personal level, Amelia becomes visibly hurt whenever she's judged as the stereotypical blonde, and as such, she tries her best to avoid looking like a complete dumbass. Considering the way her autism works though, this is easier said than done. Amelia is also surprisingly defeatist when it comes to school-work, as trying to think too hard only results in eventually crumbling under pressure, with her screaming bloody murder about how impossible she thinks something is and interrupting the entire class in the process. Understandably, teachers are quick to issue Amelia a detention every time this happens. However, the art and design classes are just the few classes in which she doesn't have the slightest problem with. Amelia is actually a rather talented drawer, and can draw anything from anime people to critters to mechas to even a generic landscape. Amelia is intrigued by the Time Research Lab, and is considering signing up. She wonders how she can help, however...[/spoiler] [hr] [spoiler=Back Story (WIP)]Even though she was successfully main-streamed into her last high school, Amelia Therein was having a rough time throughout the 5 years that she had been there, especially during her final year. Amelia was under a lot of pressure to save herself from becoming a high school drop-out. Although she'd gotten excellent grades in her art and design classes, she only managed decent grades at best with her Maths, English, Science and Gym classes, and her American History grades were beyond appalling. However, with a little luck and as much hard work as she could muster, Amelia had gained just the minimum amount of credit hours to herself into a university. At first, she had no idea where to turn next; her parents suggested that she go to one university, while the few friends she managed to acquire were all in several others. Eventually, Amelia decided to bring herself to Victor Qondria University where a certain primary school crush of hers had attended, just in time for a certain event to transpire. Here, Amelia enrolled for every single subject that had to do with art and design, but since there weren't enough of such subjects available, she also enrolled to take a Mathematics class, a Gym class and a Psychics class as fillers. However, she just so happened to land herself in detention for missing one too many Gym classes during the day in which the Time Research Lab was beginning to actively seek recruits, and she also just so happened to have no idea where to find the room where the detention was meant to be held. That's when Amelia found one of the flyers that were to be stapled all across the university. As much as she should've been in detention, Amelia couldn't help but take the time to take the flyer down and read up on it, more specifically about this so-called "time machine". The money that was up for grabs had nothing to do with Amelia's interests, but a certain memory did; one that she'd rather abandon if she had a choice.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 "They've waited so long for this day, someone to take the death away, no son would ever have to say, his father worked into his grave."[hr]Personal InformationUsername: TatteredSleevesName: Roy L. AmosAge: 22Gender: MaleDate of Birth: November 11th[hr][spoiler=Appearance]Roy stands six feet and three inches tall, his eyes are a deep and tired muddy brown and typically lined with greyish bags. He does not sleep well. His hair is black and very thick, his face is marked with stubble across his jawline. He keeps himself very well dressed button-up shirts with a vest or overshirt over top, a tie (usually black or red) and a brown belt with matching khaki pants and black dress shoes. Roy is a very plain looking man, the face of a man who works late into the night, but what stands out about him is the simple fact that his right arm stops just at his elbow and a well-developed mechanical prosthetic arm begins. A gleaming chrome providing a sharp contrast to the remainder of him.[/spoiler][hr][spoiler=Personality]Before his accident Roy was a man who took the easy road down life. He didn't take much of anything seriously and as a result of that he was considered a real party animal, despite his intellect. He would often attend and enjoy the frat life at the college he was attending. He was considered a real charmer as well, always seen with this or that 'girl of the month' and had a very celebrity-like personality. After the accident he realised life was fleeting, and that he was wasting his life. He immediately devoted the whole of himself to his studies, he became a man devoted to the fruits of work and when he constructed his new arm himself, exactly to his specifications, he was prouder than any man. Roy sees that the value of a man is in what his hands can create, he expects a great many things of himself and great things of others, he tries to bring out the 'most' in other people around him and because of this he can seem pushy, abrasive, and sometimes even a bit of a jerk. But at the core of his being he is a true philanthropist at heart, believing that a man's work is best put towards the betterment of his fellow man.[/spoiler] [hr][spoiler=Backstory]Four years ago Roy worked in his father's factory with machinery, he spent his time outside the factory enjoying the fast life women, parties, and a wide circle of friends. Then a fateful accident crushed his arm up to the elbow, it was completely irrepairable the grisly accident left not only his body, but his mind altered. It took finishing university and crafting a new arm for himself from solid steel in order to restore his confidence in himself.[/spoiler][hr]Accepted.

Kyng's Old Account Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, a reserve is really just something to show interest. I feel a lot more encouraged when it happens and it also helps others think about whether it's worth writing up an app or not. ^_^But, no, it's not Final Fantasy-esque, sorry.Don't apologize, I'm glad you've taken a different approach =DThat is an interesting way to look at reserves too. I tend to see them more pessimistically as taking up other people's potential space, but then again you're not using a limit on the number of characters in this thing. I like that = )I'll have to give this thing a miss for now, but during the course of the Summer I am probably going to look this up and apply, if you'll accept at later dates that is ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
