Roleplay Availability
inoue academy
Hello and welcome to Inogaku, a detailed high school roleplay with a very casual vibe. It's primarily character-driven rather than plot-driven; OOC conversation is a must, so having a discord is practically a prerequisite on my end. You can navigate to the other sections of the roleplay via the links to the left, including our discord server. Please be advised that an expanded version of the roleplay rules are located there. Do note that we're operating on a roleplayer-cap system, not a character-cap system.

introduction
Hello and welcome to Inogaku's OOC thread! This is where I will be posting announcements, and where character applications will be posted. Just a casual reminder that this roleplay is not first come first serve; if someone gets accepted before you even though they posted later, it will typically mean that they presented their character better. If you get rejected, creating a drama bomb about it will not help your cause in anyway, it will simply do the opposite. Either try again (feel free to ask for feedback) or simply leave.
application code
The code is on the sensitive side; please permanently turn off rich-text editor in your settings, or work on this on notepad or something. The moment RTE touches the code, it's going to break apart like nobody's business. So I highly advise turning it off.

There are two versions of the code: one that is normal BBCode, and one that uses BBXML. Both work just fine, the only difference is that BBXML is much cleaner. You can use BBXML by using the BBCoder extension, found here. Your application is to be posted here, in the OOC thread.

BBXML xx app - bbxml
BBCODE x app - bbcode
 
Toudou Takehiko
pfa department: music (cello + composition)
bZUuqiE.png
takehiko
Toudou Takehiko comes from an old family of musical background. Dance, singing, instruments or (musical) acting. Most of Takehiko’s family had some form of attachment to music whether it was as a successful hobby or a full-fledged career. However, though he was born gifted with musical talent and a well-known family (and a pretty face), his family grilled into him that talent and reputation means nothing without hard work ethic to back up those claims.

Therefore, while Takehiko is someone who gives off the impression that he’s the most polite and collected in the face of even the most aggravating people, he’s quick to verbally beat down anyone who chalks up anyone’s hardwork to just talent or family pulling strings. Takehiko is a proud individual with a temper that’s difficult to start but fierce all the same. And as a person of fierce determination and passion for the things he loves, he breaks down the image of a prideful put together peacock very quickly with his intense drive for anything related to music.

Takehiko only seems calm and collected, aka the responsible friend, when he’s not swinging in full gear with his fellow pfa department members. He’s the type to give back the energy and hard work that people give him as a (weird) show of respect. So it’s not uncommon to see him yell words of excitement, encouragement and determination at or with the other pfa department members when they’re on a roll.

Funnily enough, half out of habit and half out of preference, Takehiko is very adamant about keeping up appearances (especially keeping any bags under his eyes hidden away) when out in public. So while the teen is actually a (successful) mess that doesn’t know the words “break time” or “stop”, he tries not to show just how little rest he gets. If music is his soulmate, then combs and makeup (and coffee) are his best friends that are always on his person.

If it was possible, the teen’s blood would probably be made of coffee by now.

akechi shuuya
sge department: soccer
_AkechiShuuya01x.jpg
shuuya
Akechi Shuuya is the very definition of “wearing an iron mask”. No matter what he says or sees, everything is done with a monotonous deadpan. Most aren’t even sure of the last time they’ve seen anger or happiness touch the boy’s facial features. Though rather than a cold demeanor, he bears something much more akin to a sluggish nature.

Raised by an impulsive pair of parents, Shuuya is extremely straightforward in his pursuits. His version of living “honestly to one’s desires” deviates from that of his mother and father, however. That is, to say, he’s absolutely useless at the things he holds no interest in. The results produced a troublesome child who finds a greater appeal in sleep than play, and even when he’s awake, he seems barely capable of dragging himself from his makeshift beds. While he blames his behavior on low blood pressure, his friends and family know that the reasons lie in a completely different matter altogether: soccer.

As a sports scholarship recipient and the advanced playmaker of the team, Shuuya is naturally the star of Inogaku’s soccer club despite being only a 2nd year. Most, however, don’t expect him of all people to have a single athletic bone in his body. With his behavioral patterns that can only be summed up as no less than sluggish, the bigger question is whether or not he can even sprint 40 meters. Shuuya himself never seems to argue his case either, finding proving the facts to be a tragic waste of energy as per usual.

However, once on the playing field, Shuuya seems to flip on an active switch of sorts. In stark contrast to his general sloth-like behavior, he becomes suddenly capable of moving about at ridiculous speeds to the point where the entirety of his middle school years were spent ducking overly-eager (read: persistent) track team members. As much as he likes running, he’d rather be friends with the ball than spend his time tripping over hurdles. Additionally, his skill in the sport itself makes him an indispensable member of the team, and his friends were quick to remind him of that fact.
 
oda chise
pfa department: directing
_OdaChise01.jpg
oda
Though his name carries a delicate sound, those of his own person aren’t sung quite so sweetly. Coral pink locks and eyes of deep crimson speak loudly for the boy, and his actions, if anything, shout even louder. Even within the sea of colorful personalities called the performing and fine arts department, Chise presents himself as unique, though many will go as far as to call him “delusional”. Some describe it as “extra”; when bluntly put, he’s a high-tension chuunibyou.

A thorough odacon, Chise’s chuunibyou tendencies lead him to pronounce himself as the current incarnation of Oda Nobunaga, even going as far as to call himself the “Demon King of the Sixth Heaven” and using dated pronouns and phrases. Likewise, it isn’t an uncommon sight for him to challenge or approach others based on even the slightest relation to the warlord with Akechi Shuuya seeming to be his most recent favorite target. His peers speculate if he’s taking his acting off-stage, but considering the reports that he’s been like this since elementary school, it isn’t very likely. Even his exasperated mother only looks to the heavens in silent plea that this phase will soon come to a pass.

Though world conquest isn’t in his agenda, his ambition burns so brightly that his goal might as well be to take the heavens as well. Confidence seems to exist in every fiber of his being, and though genial in nature, he doesn’t hesitate to take on a more aggressive stance when need be. On the plus side, he’s dependable in spite of his childish and erratic behavior; in retrospect, he tends to stubbornly sticks to his own set of ideals without regard for the thoughts of others. Luckily, this competitive streak has managed to allow him to fare well in the performing and fine arts department. However (to his dismay), he’s much more suited to be an actor than a director.

Regardless, his aspirations remain a dogged pursuit. As he likes to say, “if a man will not work, he shall not eat.”
 
Yuzuru Nui
stem department: cit science (computer & information technology)

nui
Yuzuru Nui is more than a sum of a pretty face, pink hair clips and tousled hair pulled into a ponytail. The glint in azure which promises nothing but mischief takes the spotlight off the prominent feature underneath his right eye: a mole which both him and his younger sister inherited from his mother. As though his beauty mark and clips weren't enough, the male carries around a number of decorative items from needless accessories to fancy stationary, all which most would find "too feminine" for a boy of his age to use.

Femininity or the excess of thereof had never been an issue. He embraces his gender and openly indulges in things he adores. His actions and choices revolve around his motto: "If it isn't cute, then I don't need it." What Nui finds cute isn't limited to (but doesn't exclude) all things pink and bunny-shaped, and contrary to what most would think, 'cute' things are not decided by what they look like but rather how they make him feel.

Competitive environments in near-constant pandemonium due to conflicting and troublesome personalities was exactly the kind of scene Nui found "not cute at all". His own difficult persona made him oil to water instead of gas to a fire. Originally a pfa student, the male later swapped to stem a year later, finding himself ill-suited for the course. His potential in acting and directing was later overwritten by his love for definite outcomes in mathematics and computer programming.

Self-serving and borderline narcissistic, this charismatic individual was fully aware of the entitlement he received as the eldest son and likely heirs to one of the biggest corporations in Japan. Money came as easy as a snap of a finger and the fact is not flaunted but rather implied in the list of custom-made, designer items Nui owns. Despite his wealth, little is known about the male's family though Nui has shared with a few of his close knit friends that his parents were divorced long before he could remember. The nonchalance very well hides his feelings towards his dysfunctional family. His mother is a subject he regards coldly.

Maybe it's because of his wealth or the invisible influences he's weaved during his time in school, Yuzuru Nui is a name held with strong emotions varying from high regard to loathsome distaste and every other emotion in-between. His blunt mouth and lack of filter has made him a target of anger by various people and his words never go unaccompanied by his signature, shit-eating grin. One may wonder if he does so intentionally and some have remarked him to have a talent for "pissing people off the moment he opens his mouth". If he does show signs of knowing, he lacks the effort to communicate his feelings properly, thus usually leaving things as they are.

Kitae Akiyoshi
sge department: track

kitae
Happy-go-lucky and simple-minded to the boot, Kitae lives her ordinary life in a constant rush. Due to her inability to wake up to the sound of her twenty-so alarm clocks, the blonde ends up getting up far later than she would like, but makes up for any lost time with gifted speed. Running is her specialty and Kitae found that she was one of the few who was born with fast legs.

After winning first place in all her sports events in middle school, under the urging of her coach and parents, she signed up for more track-related competitions and eventually became known enough to gain the nickname "the sprinting hare". Both Kitae and her parents hadn't thought that her growing reputation would eventually have her scouted for Inogaku's track team. With the help of her best friend in studies, Kitae managed to pass Inogaku's entrance exam and join their track team on a scholarship.

Despite living quite far off from the school, Kitae does not dorm due to lack of funds and other personal reasons. She runs to and fro from school and on her lazy days, the blonde opts to bike instead.

matsukawa yuina
sge department: track + field

yui
Matsukawa Yuina, unlike most respected upperclassmen, is one that many will tell you to “brace yourself” when it comes to criticism. Though usually cheery and not at all malicious, Yui gives little care when giving (or receiving) criticism even in the face of tears and broken hearts. Firmly believing in reality checks given earlier rather than later, this upperclassmen is quick to give criticism to those that ask for and need it. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t give out praise to those that deserve it nor does she actively look for criticism to dish out. She also doesn’t put down people who doesn’t ask for her opinion either. She’s just brutally blunt to those that ask for her opinion. If they’re looking for someone to boost their ego with little merit to justify the ego, Yuina wouldn’t exactly the best choice (even though this personality did make her a good choice as captain for Inogaku’s Track + Field team).

Brutally blunt as she is, she’s not at all against giving advice (as long as it is within her expertise) to those who come to her to ask for it. And due to her ambitious nature and no-nonsense attitude, Yuina is also quick to ask for advice or help with a bright attitude because she dislikes the thought of losing a precious opportunity to excel due to pride of all things. Unsurprisingly, it was from the advice of her upperclassmen from middle school and her ambitions to succeed in both athletics and academics that brought her to Inoue Academy.

Kasho Tensai
PFA Department : (Voice + Piano + Composition)

Kasho
Kasho is a rather anti-nihilistic individual.Although, on the inside, he believes that life is full of disappointment, people are cruel in nature, and is one of the most pessimistic individuals you’ll ever meet, on the outside, he’s optimistic and cheerful, believing that everyone should do their best to make the world a better place for everyone.

He’s polite and friendly, always willing to lend a hand, whether it be an emotional hand or a physical one. However, he’s also super independent, as well as a loner of sorts, and will do whatever he can to do something alone before asking for help.

Kasho is also super active. An insomniac, Kasho can be seen doing something during all hours of the day, sleeping rarely being one of his actions. He’s so passionate towards Music that he does it whenever he can, his free time mostly being spent singing, writing music, playing the piano, etc.

Ambitious and a hardworker, Kasho thrives in the competitive atmosphere. Although he doesn’t care what people think or say about him, he does like being recognized for his achievements. Another reason why he practices nonstop. However, if you ask him, he’ll shrug it off as nothing, despite having a bloddthirst for being one of the bests.

He’s also a very blunt, straightforward, and honest individual. One of his philosophies is that truth builds character, he won’t hold anything back when talking. Although, he’ll keep a secret if you ask him, he will never tell a lie, believing that liars are some of the evils of the world. If he hurts your feelings with the truth, he’ll apologize for hurting your feelings, but he won’t apologize for saying it.

Despite his anti-nihilistic beliefs, he has a hard time actually bonding with people due to issues trusting and relying on people. He’s alone most of his time and won’t talk to anyone unless he has to.
