Here’s some more of the cast. I’m not going to post about Heather Smith or Lilly Crossing since I just don’t have enough about them to pull something good together. Here’s the least you need to know about them.

Heather = a spoiled bitchy girl that models and is a senior.

Lilly Crossing = another girl that lives in the same apartment as Bryan. Works at the Alcom Cafe. She is into the latest trends, etc. She likes to test people and prattle her mouth off at them.

I’ve been working on the script here and there. I’ll post it whenever.
Rika Glen (14) (Freshmen) (Cute Younger Girl)

1. Personality

Being younger then most of the other girls she is somewhat childish. She is outgoing, and likes to do new and exciting things. Rika likes to speak her mind and has no tolerance when it comes to her temper. Rika likes boys (mostly older) and all things anime. She is rather independent for her age despite her childish attitude. Rika is very cheerful and makes friends easily among her peers.

2. Home Environment

Rika is a single child. She lives with her mom and dad in a nice house. She isn’t rich but she isn’t poor either. Being the only child can explain her childish attitude and antics.

3. Strengths and Weaknesses

Rika is outgoing and likes to be and meet new people. She isn’t afraid to be around a large group of people and speak easily among a group. But even despite her want to be independent she is rather dependant on others, and doesn’t like to be alone. That is why she likes to be around lots of people. She has a weakness towards anything anime related and DDR (Dance Dance Revolt).

Rika is a B student in school. She isn’t that strong but has strong legs and likes to run a lot.

4. Degree of Physical and Intelligence

She is a B student. Rika is mostly knowledgeable in the things that you’ll go, “Why the heck do you know this kind of stuff.” To. She knows a lot about anime and games. Surprisingly they don’t affect her grades.

She isn’t that strong but she has strong legs due to DDR and she enjoys running/jogging.

5. What makes Rika happy (sad, angry, etc)?

Rika likes anime, games, and DDR. She especially likes to play Dragon Breath Online with her level 65 Mage. She likes to be around people and likes to talk. She likes cute things and such.

She doesn’t like to be alone by herself. She doesn’t like it when people treat her like a little girl even though she obviously acts like one and is rather dependant on others. Even though she says she is an independent girl.

Rika likes the color pink. She loves warm weather and being off from school.

Born on June 24th, 1990

6. What drives this character

Don’t know. Maybe to watch anime and play games, get good grades in school. Find a boyfriend? Rika = typical freshman girl and some.

7. Past

Rika doesn’t have such a big past as the other characters we’ve seen so far. At age 10 she saw a show from Japan called Magical Princess Alice. It was poorly dubbed, but young Rika didn’t care. She liked it a lot. From then on she was in the anime craze and stuck with it.

H. Inspiration and Name Origins

No real idea for name origin, but she is inspired off of those fanatic anime girls that you see somewhat rarely in date simulations. Like Tsukasa from Pia Carrot 2. Her childish nature comes from such girls like Ayu from Kanon. You can count on this character to have a trademark word like buu or uguu.

Gina Koreen (17) (Junior) (Athletic Girl)

A. Personality

Gina has a personality like that of a flame. Hot tempered and outgoing. She hangs out with a lot of guys and is an all around tomboy. She is cheerful and a good friend. She doesn’t like spoiled brats and people who are mean and hurt those that are weak. She has a sense of justice and honor about her.

B. Home Environment

Gina comes from a rather poor household. They live in the same apartment as Bryan, but she doesn’t work at the Alcom Café. Her mom does. Her father left her mom when she was still young. She has a younger sister who is 6. Her home environment is probably the result of her tomboyish attitude.

C. Strengths and Weaknesses

Gina is a hard worker when it comes to sports. She is outgoing and lively. She doesn’t get along with one girl, Heather Smith because she is a spoiled brat.

Gina isn’t good in school, but does well enough to stay on sports teams. Gina is a good friend and will be there for them. She is horrible at cooking and eats a lot. She has a hard time being feminine because she acts like a boy.

D. Degree of Physical and Intelligence

Gina is great at sports. From Basketball to swimming she can do it. School wise she is a C+ to B- student.

E. What makes Gina happy (sad, angry, etc)?

Gina likes sports stuff. She likes most things a guy would like…well, minus porn related things. She likes playing sports, but doesn’t like being in school.

She loves food, but can’t cook at all. She lacks a feminine attitude and hangs around guys. She hates spoiled little bratty girls. She is a very good friend and doesn’t like those who are weaker being picked on.

Born on October 4th, 1987

F. What drives this character

Get some possible scholarships from sports so she can get into college without her mom paying for it. To get her family out of the shape they’re in. Also to find her father and give him a beat down or something.

G. Past

When she was 10 her father left her mom while she was still pregnant. Her parents always fought over meaningless things and her father couldn’t take it and just went up and left. At her other schools she was the best in every sport there. At age 17 she is just entering Cathos High School as a junior.

Her sister has never met her father.

H. Inspiration and Name Origins

Not sure how I thought of the name here either. She is definitely inspired off of the tomboyish characters like Kanna Kirishima from Sakura Taisen and Saki from Tokimeki Memorial.

1. Personality

Mio is a very quiet girl, but works extremely hard in school. She isn’t very strong and is somewhat frail, but she has a strong heart. She wears glasses, which adds to her intelligent air. She isn’t good with boys and keeps her distance. She is the class junior president and is very bossy to Bryan, but that is only to cover up her true feelings for him. Mio is rather dependant and stays to herself and what she does. She doesn’t have any real good friends and uses her time to study or read books. Mio doesn’t like group situations and rather be alone.

She is to daydream from time to time about her prince coming and sweeping her off her feet.

6. What drives this character

Her feelings for Bryan and the hope they’ll be said someday.

7. Past

Mio’s father is the president of a famous video game developer, Circle soft. That means she is from a rich family. In Japan, she always went to a private girl痴 school. At home she didn’t get to play outside or do anything with other girls. She was told to study and stay indoors or within the walls that were around her house. She always read books and liked the fairy tales and legends. As she got older she began to daydream about her prince coming for her. At age 13, she was sent to America to live with friend’s of the family to get an American education.

In America, the people around her didn’t treat her any differently. She was still confined, still told just to study. The family she was staying with was mean; their daughter would scold her all the time. The students at the school she went to didn’t give her any respect either. They didn’t care. When she entered Cathos High School as a freshman. She quickly became the highest-ranking student in her class, and she became the class president 3 years in a row. (Which would be the start at junior year). While she (Age 12) was playing in a park one day, some of her classmates started to pick on a lot, but because of a young boy at the risk of himself he beat the kids up for her. She never met the boy again after he smiled and walked away. Until the orientation freshman year. But he doesn稚 seem to remember her.

The kid is Bryan Pany, the boy she has a crush on. Now, Mio is tough and over bearing to Bryan and uses her authority to be mean to him. But truly she is just hiding her feelings and the past that she had with him. Will she ever reveal them?

F. Inspiration and Name Origins

Mio is obviously inspired by such characters as Mai Kawasumi from Kanon, Mio Kisaragi from Tokimeki Memorial, Kaori Yae from Tokimeki Memorial 2 and any generic shy girl with glasses.

Ok, this fucking blows. I finally got ahold of the stupid manager at Micheal’s and he says that they are accepting applications but they have no positions and something about there new store in Bethlahem. WTF. Then why the bloody hell do you have a now hiring sign outside your store? Ok, this blows. As far as I’m concerned I’m not advocating a strong search for a job. If I see something cool I’ll go for it I guess. I should probably get those Borders and Waldenbooks ones out. Maybe find some kind of supermarket.

I hate finding jobs.

Guess I’m not going on that religious retreat because Ozzfest is on the same day it starts. Can’t wait for Ozzfest. \_/ Dimmu Borgir!! \_/

Since I totally suck on what cloths to wear in this age. Like always I go back to my anime to check cool styles that I like. So far the search isn’t that great…meh.

Out.

Makenai Akigatto (unbeatable love I certainly have) – Rockman X4 OP

WHY is it that dear feelings are sharp thorns
WHY is it when we go astray they prick us
Even if it makes petals bloom bit by bit
Like a rose
In fact it shakes my heart Love is scary
I seem to break down… (I seem to break down…)

Rather than embracing me
I want you to understand some more
Rather than giving me kindness
I want the strength to overcome loneliness

(1) Even unbeatable love
I surely must have in my heart
If it’s a certain love I seek
Someday I shall find it
It makes me believe in the strength
To go on no matter how things turn out to be
To turn against destiny

WHY does sin stem from innocence
WHY does someone have to pay for ignorance
Feelings make casual worries
Complicated
Choosing irrelevant words I make excuses
I merely escape… (I merely escape…)

If you will console me
Scold me some more
If you will forgive my mistakes
Give me a broken dream

*repeat (1) 2x*

One more chance – Rockman X4 ED

Everyday there are too much things I can’t say
I always fear I might hurt someone
Surely I’m making myself with pent-up feelings
But But It shouldn’t be like that
That just isn’t me

(1) No matter how much tears One More Chance
There ought to be things that have yet to begin
No matter how much pain One More Chance
For I can do it
Even if it be small I wanna discover something new

Saying I won’t be despised
If I wear the same clothes as the rest
And blend with them
What a boring character

I’ve been somewhat holding back
On things I wanted to do some more
Always laughing on purpose
And being impossibly bubbly

(2) No matter how much tears One More Chance
It ought to be all right to be hurt again
No matter how many troubles One More Chance
For I can do it
Don’t give up I wanna find those honest eyes

*repeat (1), (2)*

A collection of translated J-pop and other songs from anime that I like. I really think they fit into who I am as a person and what not. Maybe you too would like to get them? I’m only going to do songs from A-C because it is alot as it is.

Read the rest of this entry »

June 2, 2004

Neat, I found an actually version of the song I like. Haha. Well, I’ll keep this up for a few days I guess. It’ll get annoying after awhile I’m sure. This song is so old school.

Todokanu Omoi- My Friend’s Love

Thoughts that cannot be delivered

(Sung by the Sailor Starlites in Sailor Moon Stars)

Many many times in dreams,
we were secretly kissing each other,
I was swallowed by your clear round eyes.

I fell asleep in your arms,
I was surrounded by your gentleness.

Alas, don’t ever let me wake up,
painfully I shouted.

Deep in my mind I was hightly aroused,
Even I myself know this time it’s serious.

I became panicked cause I’m too sad
and I can’t give you up.

*If we could have met earlier,
I would find all the reasons
The moonlight is shining towards the endless shore,
Alas, I want to take you with me.

Bathe in the morning sunshine,
your smile is so bright and pretty.
Deeper and deeper,
I realize it’s a terrible thing.

The ringing of the cell phone,
shortens the distance between the two of us.

Are we good friends or good people?
I can’t figure it out.

Yesterday you were so gentle,
And today you’re in the other guy’s arms.

The moonlight is shining towards the endless shore,
Alas, I want to take you with me.

*Repeat

June 2, 2004

Well I finished Frankenstein…ok maybe I didn’t but I read enough to say I did finish it. It’s a decent book, and we went over it in class so I pretty much got the plot and everything.

Most of the stuff with the asteriks I personally picked alot of the other stuff were books required to read. So half the time I’m pretty dead on with books I like.

*Les Miserables – Victor Hugo

*Little Women – Louise May Alcott

*Musashi – Eiji Yoshikawa

*The Hellbound Heart – Clive Barker

*Interview With The Vampire – Anne Rice

*The Vampire Lestat – Anne Rice

Of Mice and Men – John Steinbeck

A Seperate Peace – John Knowles

June 1, 2004

And so today was the seniors last day in school. I can’t help but feel sad that my upper classmen are moving on. It means that the way is paved for my class and I to move on. I feel so old. I need to make the most of my school years while I have them. Boy, I just want to play Tokimeki Memorial 2 all over again…maybe once school is out. I’ll get Kotoko’s ending.

Like I once wrote before, there isn’t going to be any confession at a tree, a ringing of a broken bell or a confession at an old shrine for me. Maybe in college I’ll find a girlfriend. I don’t know maybe sooner. Who knows? All I know right now is that I’m not going to get a happy ending at the end of senior year at this rate. Course there’s still time to change things.

Well, I hope in the end everything works out fine for all of us who are on this endless journey.

(Yeah, not all I wanted to say but Erik and Mike want me to play WC3. So I had to sum it up.)
