I'm in EST/GMT -5, so I think around 12pm. I really hope to be able to start on the 4th, however, if there are not enough character profiles finished, those with profiles will get an assured spot and the rest of the places will fill as characters are approved. ^_^

Name: Sayu Mukaido
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Sexuality: Pansexual
Occupation/School/Grade: Senior in high school
Physical Attributes/Body Build: She has light brownish hair, normally styled in a way where part of her hair is styled in a small chignon bun, and she has amber eyes. She stands at about 5'4 feet tall and has a more slender body frame.
Background: Sayu comes from a pretty important family line, since her father is the Gemu Games CEO. Most of her life she's been shadowed by her powerful and popular dad, people would only be interested in talking about her father or not talk to her at all because they immediately assume she'll be snobby and prissy. She does well in school, not the greatest but good enough to be above average. Because she slightly has a weak body, she wasn't able to do much sports or extra circulars and instead uses her time to study, read fashion magazines, mope around the house or play her sim dating games. By now she's grown quite a collection of dating simulation games and by now have successfully cleared ever path even though it might've taken a few attempts. She had no interest at all with any of the games from her father's company, and rather preferred not to ever get involved with them. She began coming up with an act, she never mentioned her father at her new high school and created a sweet and innocent persona, which she believes easily fooled her peers. Recently her dad promised to double her allowance if she partakes in his little game experiment, which he beliefs it'll be a good idea to include someone less experienced to see how the game will work for beginners. She plans to keep up her scan and not mention who her father is when she arrives.
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: "Getting double the money just for hanging out at some fancy place and playing games? Doesn't sound so bad to me"
Background in gaming: Simulation dating games
Faceclaim: Minami Kotori from Love-Live
Online
Name: Yakitori (Kabob in Japanese.. she was feeling hungry)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Profession: Adventurer
Online Personality: Usually easily distracted in real life, in the game Sayu can become very determined; focusing on a particular subject, to a point of forgetting anything else not associated with it. In the game she doesn't focus much on her little sweet act, instead she can be very persistent and stubborn; being able to stop thinking about it until she finally solves it. Her true haughty personality is then revealed in the game, though at random times she puts up her innocent act again. This can surely confuse the people around her in the game and may distinguish her as bipolar or multi-identity.
Combat Style: (Her inner endurance seems to reflect physically now also in the game) Can take a hit, great at distracting monsters, quick thinker, slow but effective hits.
Combat Style: (Her inner endurance seems to reflect physically now also in the game) Can take a hit, great at distracting monsters, quick thinker, slow but effective hits.
Class: Guardian
General Play Style: Not the best strategist and fails to come up with plans, which gets her in deep trouble when she just does stuff without thinking. You can say she has the most deaths and failures in the game, but she eventually always succeeds at the end, she definitely does not give up. So she's quick to do, doesn't quit, but with her lack of planning will just waste lots of time and times not get her anywhere. Though with a slightly big ego, even though she mostly sucks, she tends to be loud, flashy and draws attention of the monsters around her, since she's learned her enhanced endurance.

[fieldbox=" GIN RILUKA, blue, solid"]
Characters Name: RILUKA Gin
Gender: Male
Age: 19 years old
D.O.B: 5th May
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation/School/Grade: Undergraduate in Software Engineering at Tokyo's University. Use to work part-time waiter prior to being a beta tester
Physical Attributes: Slender, Tall (5'10), and has dark eyes and hair. His skin is pretty pale and flawless.
Personality: Gin, in real life, is a quite anti-social. He won't really make the first move to go talk to you except if required. Most likely, you will think of him as some kind of cold hearted guy as a first impression. Fortunately, that isn't truly him. He is cold, yes, but he warms up to people if he didn't categorize you as annoying or too social. Despite him being a bit antipathetic, he does have a sense of humor. Most likely a dark sense of humor, but nonetheless one. Gin can be good in teamwork and does take the lead if he sees everything is spiraling down, but he is most likely the type of guy that would keep order and take more of a second role in charge. Which, you can kind of referee as the 'bad cop' in a good cop, bad cop situation.
Background: Gin has a pretty ordinary life. His father is a very hard working man that brings home a good paycheck. He used to live in the more traditional part of Japan, in Kyoto. His maternal family is very religious and bound to their roots, explaining how they are the ones who take care of one of the biggest temples there.
Faceclaim: Nine in Zakyou no Terror
Online Character
UserName: Maelstorm
Gender: Male or Female
Sexual Interest: Towards Females
Physical Attributes: Robust, medium height, hairy chest and arms, has a beard and blue eyes.
Profession: Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunters are far from a homogeneous lot—they come from all races and affiliations and each pursues his quarry in his own unique way. Some Bounty Hunters adhere to the rugged Mandalorian code of honor while others answer only to their own moral compass. Some work only on behalf of organizations they agree with, while others have no sense of loyalty.
Despite being kindred spirits, fellow Bounty Hunters cannot always be trusted—among the profession's most notorious members, competition turns colleagues into the most ruthless of enemies. Even the Bounty Hunters' employers harbor hidden agendas; the tables are turned quickly when complications arise… and they always do. Shifting allegiances, unbeatable odds, and deadly showdowns are common in the occurrences in the life of a Bounty Hunter.
Class: Gunner
Combat Style: Guns and explosives
Online Personality: Gin, online, has tendencies to be a bit more of that annoying moderator that will remind you of the rules and report you if ever you go against the rules. He does bend them a bit, but usually he ends up being pretty strict with others. He does forget himself in the mist of action and become that player that flames people and blames them for a mistake they do. Overall, Gin is a very well known player named Maelstorm across the net and is pretty straight forward. He can be a troll, but never when under his username Maelstorm.

Character Profile Template
Forename Name: Aimi
Middle Name: Marise
Surname: Himura.
Known As: Aimi.
Gender: Female.
Age: 17 years old.
Date of Birth: 17th November.
Sexuality: Polysexual.
Occupation/School/Grade: Student, Grade 11.
Physical Attributes: Aimi is 5ft 2in tall with a small build and a slim physique. She grew her dark hair out to mid way down her back after being mistaken for a pre-teen boy on more than one occasion because she's not particularly into 'girly' things. It's also why she often wears skirts and dresses instead of trousers or shorts. Her eyes are a chestnut brown with hints of red and orange but only if you look closely enough. She has pale skin, a contrast to her almost black hair, with very few blemishes except for a birthmark just below the left corner of her left eye.
Personality: Aimi is very quiet and shy. She doesn't speak much, and when she does it's usually because she's focussed on something else. Like gaming for example. If her mind if focussed on the game where the worst thing that could happen has minimal consequences, then she is opinionated and decisive. She cares a great deal about what people think of her, most likely because her parents raised her to please others, and can be hurt very easily by insults. She takes it to heart and doesn't often forgive for even the most minor offences. But she is also extremely hard working. She throws 100% into everything she does, even if it's something simple like picking out the username for her gaming character.
Background: She grew up in Kyoto on the island of Honshu, Japan, living with her mother and father. She is an only child of parents who worked a great deal, and as such they put off having children too long and were only able to have Aimi. Because of this they are extremely dependant on her doing well, which eventually pushed her into gaming for an escape. Despite being shy she has many friends, most of whom are also gamers or people who don't mind doing all the talking.
Family:
-Father: Noriko Himura.
-Mother: Chou Himura.
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: Nervous. She's never really done anything like this before, mostly playing games as an escape from her school and home life and she wants to make a good impression.
Faceclaim: Saki Watanabe (From the New World)
Online
Name: Niraya.
Gender: Female (usually).
Sexuality: Polysexual.
Profession: Healer.
Physical Attributes/Body Build: --
Online Personality: Aimi is like a completely different person when she is Niraya. She is bold, assertive, brave... everything she wants to be in real life but is too nervous to be. But she tends to be all business when there is a job to do or a goal to achieve, and there usually is. Whether it's getting to the next level or completing even the smallest of quests she will strive to complete it quickly.
Combat Style: Long range and usually uses a lot of lifesteal.
Class: Druid.
General Play Style: Her play style is logical up to the point where she is in a battle. During quests and such she thinks things through and tries to work out the best way to do things. But when she's under attack, she is known for having a little bit of a trigger finger, especially if she is angry.

Physical Attributes/Body Build: Tall with broad shoulders, and a larger build, weights roughly 220
Personality:
Drake is a mild mannered and all be it quite man, he isn't anti-social but rather finds books and animals more interesting than humans. He tends to overthink things but it gets the job done as he analyses the situation he finds himself in. A rather calm and understanding person, he has a short fuse, meaning his temper flairs at times. he is a great leader, but is hard to get along with if personalities clash. He keeps his wits about him, but is quick to make rash decisions when flustered, he has a hard time with simple things, but when it comes to game algorithms he can figure out patters and rations to a decimal point to understand how to handle encounters. While very intelligent he lacks the understanding of reality as he seems to be lost more in reality than in any game, this leads him to have trouble with the people much more in a face to face situations.
Background:
Known in many MMO's to be one of the best guild heads, but also one of the strictest when it comes to progression, he has been playing with his guild to get his name out for this opportunity, he has been focused completely on clearing every MMO he can find in hopes of getting mass recognition in hopes of solidifying himself as a future developer and beta tester for Ziadia and any games to come.
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: Excited but very internalized, quite smug about being selected as ne of the ten due to his background.

Straight
Occupation/School/Grade:
Student/Programmer at LVH (Las Vegas High) 10 grade
She does small job like designing websites and programing small apps
Physical Attributes/Body Build:
5'3''
Outside of school, she normally wears shorts with lots of pockets and a T-shirt but it is not uncommon to see her wear a simple dress or a nice Shirt with a skirt. Though she does get cold easily so expect her to have something with a hood during Fall (Vest, coat, hoody), Winter (Ear muffs and scarf and the only time she wears pants) , and spring (Vest). As for shoes, she wears commonly wears Tennis shoes, Rain boots when it is wet, or designer boots. She only wears sandals to the beach, if she remembers. Unless it is super formal, she does not wear heels (except with boots). She has a collection of more colorful or elegant dresses but rarely wears them because she does not like the attention.
At home, She has a numerous pair of pajamas. She has pajama onesies, Shirts and short shorts, and several slippers. All outfits with different themes ranging from space to bunnies. She also almost always has a blanket with her because she gets cold easily at home.
She also has 3 pairs of swimsuits. (4 if you count swimming class uniform)

2. 1 piece: Simple light purple with a yellow ring in the middle.
3. A Bikini with a black top and a white bottom
Personality (1+ Paragraph Please):
In real life, Ann is quiet and reserved. She likes to listen to other people however she has a hard time being the center of attention. She gets easily embarrass whenever she gets a complement and is easily overwhelmed in a crowd. She underestimates herself a lot and tries to avoid confrontation. Sometimes she even settles for less if it would prevent an argument.
She also still feels hurt about her mother leaving her when she was little but manages to work through it if only for her father. It is a sore subject and has a hard time holding in the tears when she is reminded of her. Though it was so long ago, she remembers the event as if it just happened a few hours ago. Still, she still loves her mom and will not settle for people making fun of her. She has been known to even yell when defending her.
Ann is considered to be a very nice girl. She never ever is seen getting into a fight, argument, or even saying that she dislikes someone. However these observations are strictly taking from people who seen her at school. On the inside she really is indifferent. Kindness is normally her way of trying to avoid unwanted attention or to get people to stop bothering her. On the inside she does not care for many people. Besides her father and a few close friends, she tends to stay out of other people's lives. She hates people who abuse her quiet nature and she dreads the whiners who just won't shut up. She hides all her true feelings under smile but her friends and father know the truth. How she is not brave enough to lash out at others. How she would give not out of sympathy but irritation. How she listens for fear of explaining why she does not care. Her friends understand all of this and why she acts like this and how behind a mouse and keyboard, she becomes a whole new person.
Background:
Ann is a single child living with her dad. Her mother ran away from home when she was 5 leaving her dad to take care of her alone. Ann took it hard at first. She stopped smiling, stopped laughing, and only spoke when she had to. Her father had to pick up an extra job to support the family which further added to Ann's depression. 2 years later before her 7th birthday, he got a promotion which would allow him to support them on 1 job. With his new free time he tried to spend more time with Ann.
He took her to do different things and despite trying them, she never took interest. He took her to amusement parks, climbing, fishing, but nothing seemed to make her happy. One day after picking up Ann from school, a teacher showed him a phone puzzle game. The father tried to solve it but was just ungodly awful. He asked his daughter to try it. She gave it a try and solved it in an hour. The father had been trying for 3 days. He praised her and for the first time, she smiled.
On her 7th birthday her father bought her another game, this time it was a co-op fantasy game called Towers and Titans. Her and her father would play it together all the time. Slowly Ann began to open up to the world. She made a few friends who not only played Towers and Titans but modded it. This sparked Ann's love for programming and was the bases of her dream to be a video game designer.
Now 8 years later Ann has played and "cracked" a multitude of games. Her goal when playing a new game is to beat it and developed a strategy for her father to beat it (Because her father is just terrible... but he always finds a way to have fun) when he beats the game, she deems it "Cracked." She has her own website where people talk about all types of games, from the old day arcades to the newest game coming out on the market Ziradia Online and guess who just got accepted to test it XD!
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia:
"I…I cannot be…believe it… I…I got go to update my blog!" *Runs to computer to type up a storm about how happy she is and how she cannot wait to crack this new game.
Background in gaming:
50 floors (a phone puzzle game) at 6
Towers and Titans (her first fantasy game) at 7
Battleships 3.0 (Simulator Naval game) at 8
Elf Chronicles (First MMO and also where she picked up with the alias Glitch) 9
Though she did not make her own guild or held any leadership roles, she was a founding member in the guild "Not Working"
Tetris (She bought it over the internet) 14
She has played and beaten a numerous numbers of games but these games listed above are her first types for those genres

Profession:
Engineer
As an engineer, Creativity becomes ones greatest weapon. Everything has its purpose and there is no such thing as a "bad" idea. Whether you are building a airship or an hydraulic anti solar radiation parasol, it is all about putting your mind to work and bringing to life your imagination. And just like the ammo that automated pie thrower, the types of engineers are endless. Some focus on being efficient, other push the bounties, and some just plain wacky. No matter what you choice be ready for to hit the drawing board, because the first step to that lazer guided potato skinner is that shiny light bulb above your head provided by your steam power idea maker.
Engineers are problem solvers and provide solutions for the average man, elf, and raging boss what wipes your party. When you meet an engineer your are meeting someone who is known for not giving up. Depending on their goals, they can be your best friend or your worst nightmare when it comes to getting that rare golden nut. They are unpredictable like their inventions, and persistence. You never know what is going through their mind and what plan they have in their toolbox. The most you can do is pray you are not wall standing in the way of their figurative, and literal, ram themed anti-stone castle-wall buster to achieve their goals of fame, fortune, or a good time.
Physical Attributes/Body Build:
5'6''
Online Personality:
Under the alias Glitch, Ann is a lot more confident behind the screen. She rarely smiles. She makes bolder statements. She is not afraid to tell someone off. She may even come off as arrogant and cocky. Sadly she still becomes shy when getting praised or when she is getting a lot of attention, but that is due to her modest nature. After all, she is not a bad person who thinks she is number one. She is arrogant because she worked hard to plan everything out. All the research, testing, debates, and experience gives her the right to have confidence, at least she believes that. Though she is not as "nice" as she appears to be in real life, she is much more willing to help someone who truly wants to learn. She worked with the worst gamer in the world *Cough* her father *Cough* so no amount of badness will impede her guidance given the player shows the effort to improve.
Combat Style:
Glitch is a strategist who relies on tricks, traps, deception, with a little bit of luck to pick apart her opponents weaknesses and create openings to abuse, rinse, and repeat.
Class:

General Play Style:
She is a planner and a completionist. She studies her surroundings in an attempt to locate hidden rewards or patterns. She is not one who enjoys running in without a plan but she also has a respect for luck and willing to rely on it from time to time... Still though, nothing beats a good plan and research.

Real World
Name: Yuuki Hamane
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation/School/Grade: High school graduate. Currently a NEET
Physical Attributes/Body Build:
Standing at 170cm (5'6") and weighing 48kg (102lbs), Yuuki's scrawny stick-like figure can be attributed to his NEET lifestyle. When playing games, his need for food and drink is greatly suppressed which leads to the occasional fainting spell. He takes care of himself at the bare minimum level; only going out for groceries and getting up from his seat to go to the bathroom, though Yuuki is thinking of changing that with a contraption that allows him to do his business while still in his chair. Small movements have made him rather weak physically. His pale complexion can be attributed to the lack of sunlight he sees. Darkness has become his natural environment, making sure his blinds are always drawn and taping over the small gaps where light can leak out. His black messy hair looks greasy and frazzled, and a pair of glasses are the only thing decorating his rather plain face.
Personality and Background:
Yuuki is part of a growing population in Japan dubbed as NEETs: Not in Education, Employment, and Training. This is not your average unemployment spell, as a NEET is someone who willingly pulls himself away from the labour force and larger society, deciding to live on welfare benefits or through their parents money.
Yuuki was born to a well off middle class family in Kyoto. His father was a regular salaryman and his mother was a happy housewife. Like any other normal family, Yuuki went to elementary school, his parents celebrated his 3-5-7 milestones; he also went to middle school and did normal middle school things. It wasn't until Yuuki's freshman year of highschool that his attitude began to change. In an ever increasing connected world, Yuuki was bombarded with information. News reports of those with high achievements, extraordinary people that constantly broke records of all kinds, people that were held in a pedestal for their greatness far away from the ordinary; these kinds of people were being mentioned again and again and again. It was then Yuuki realized he would never amount to anything. He was one of the ordinary. Average. Normal. What did it matter whether he contributed to society or not when people would stay blind to the ordinary and focus only on the extraordinary? People like him didn't have a place in this world.
And so he decided to retreat from the world.
His grades started to drop in school, he stopped hanging out with his friends and became more and more reclusive, missing classes and not attending altogether as high school drove on. His parents, ever the worried ones, asked him what was wrong. He explained what he felt about the world and his place in it. To his surprise, his parents did not object his decision. He thought that they probably understood his position. Nevertheless, they told him he needed to at least finish high school. A reasonable compromise.
It was also during this time he found his calling in games. In games, anyone could be the best. No one was disadvantage by an unfair start. Everyone had an equal opportunity to be the best. He spent all his free time in games, pursuing to be the best in whatever he touched. He became prolific to the gaming community as a sort of 'dark horse' figure; a player who never spoke and mastered whatever game he played. As long as someone recognized his achievements, it was enough. He found it a waste of time communicating with unnecessary people ie. his fanbase, talking only when he sees it as urgent. Though the continued silence just seems to rile his fans up even more...
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: "Wait, you mean I have to leave my room?"
Background in gaming:
He joined a fairly popular MMO during high school; his first serious dive into a game which ended in a spectacular failure. Only the most diehard fans of Yuuki would know of this, as he used a different handle to the one he regularly uses now. His second MMO venture was much more successful, and was when he began to both garner attention and shape the silent type avatars he is known for now. Yuuki used to lead a guild in this second game but soon split off into different factions due to his unwillingness to communicate, causing an attempted mutiny from one of his more prolific guild members. Privately, he also plays a lot of eroge to satisfy his...needs.
Faceclaim (Must be anime or anime art style): Satou Tatsuhiro from Welcome to the NHK
Online Character
Name: black
Gender: Male
Sexuality: "Huh? Why does this matter? I'm not playing an eroge."
Profession: Adventurer
Physical Attributes/Body Build:
Donning a full suit of medieval looking knight armour painted a jet black colour. It is rarely taken unless he is sure he is alone. In his previous games, his armour had a special effect where it hid his attributes to any opponent trying to view them. This is seen by the mysterious black smog that constantly obscures the armour. It will be something Yuuki will try to obtain in Ziradia Online.
Online Personality:
While originally not the sort of image Yuuki wanted to portray at first, fans and spectators alike commented on how well the avatar conveys the silent persona. In the end, he ran with it. Talking was not one of his strong points, at least, not since becoming a NEET. He was doing well by himself anyways, so was there really a need to change anything?
Unfortunately, such a position makes it hard when he actually does want to converse with someone. To his horror, when he had first tried to do that while in a party, the other members thought he was a fake and kicked him out. The only workaround he was able to find was communicating on a game's online message board or on his blog. However, the upside of the silence is when he does pick the right time to speak, his words carry much more weight than usual.
Combat and General Play Style:
Brute force. It doesn't matter what fancy tactics or items one uses if they are susceptible to a hit. He is a sprinter, relying on a short but extremely quick burst of speed and strength to finish off opponents before they can strike back. However, if one manages to avoid his initial blows, it will be hard for him to continue as it's the only strategy he has. Yuuki/taken will always be equipped with the highest level gear wherever possible to ensure an OHKO. Because of this, he is always reluctant to share information when it comes to good loot. Though that job is already done for him with his silent persona.
Class: Knight
Three Sentence Description of Character for Cast List: A high school graduate who is currently a NEET. A somewhat prolific member of various MMO communities, known for his silence while in-game. He has shunned the world, believing it as being a place he did not belong in.

As long as someone recognized his achievements, it was enough. He found it a waste of time communicating with unnecessary people ie. his fanbase, talking only when he sees it as urgent. Though the continued silence just seems to rile his fans up even more...
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: "Wait, you mean I have to leave my room?"
Background in gaming:
He joined a fairly popular MMO during high school; his first serious dive into a game which ended in a spectacular failure. Only the most diehard fans of Yuuki would know of this, as he used a different handle to the one he regularly uses now. His second MMO venture was much more successful, and was when he began to both garner attention and shape the silent type avatars he is known for now. Yuuki used to lead a guild in this second game but soon split off into different factions due to his unwillingness to communicate, causing an attempted mutiny from one of his more prolific guild members. Privately, he also plays a lot of eroge to satisfy his...needs.
Faceclaim (Must be anime or anime art style): Satou Tatsuhiro from Welcome to the NHK
Online Character
Name: black
Gender: Male
Sexuality: "Huh? Why does this matter? I'm not playing an eroge."
Profession: Adventurer
Physical Attributes/Body Build:
Donning a full suit of medieval looking knight armour painted a jet black colour. It is rarely taken unless he is sure he is alone. In his previous games, his armour had a special effect where it hid his attributes to any opponent trying to view them. This is seen by the mysterious black smog that constantly obscures the armour. It will be something Yuuki will try to obtain in Ziradia Online.
Online Personality:
While originally not the sort of image Yuuki wanted to portray at first, fans and spectators alike commented on how well the avatar conveys the silent persona. In the end, he ran with it. Talking was not one of his strong points, at least, not since becoming a NEET. He was doing well by himself anyways, so was there really a need to change anything?
Unfortunately, such a position makes it hard when he actually does want to converse with someone. To his horror, when he had first tried to do that while in a party, the other members thought he was a fake and kicked him out. The only workaround he was able to find was communicating on a game's online message board or on his blog. However, the upside of the silence is when he does pick the right time to speak, his words carry much more weight than usual.
Combat and General Play Style:
Brute force. It doesn't matter what fancy tactics or items one uses if they are susceptible to a hit. He is a sprinter, relying on a short but extremely quick burst of speed and strength to finish off opponents before they can strike back. However, if one manages to avoid his initial blows, it will be hard for him to continue as it's the only strategy he has. Yuuki/taken will always be equipped with the highest level gear wherever possible to ensure an OHKO. Because of this, he is always reluctant to share information when it comes to good loot. Though that job is already done for him with his silent persona.
Class: Knight

I think you quoted the wrong post there xD And while I have most of the beginning sketched out in my head, the future of the rp is fluid, I'd live to hear your guys' ideas! I was thinking of keeping the MMO mostly steampunk/fantasy (mostly fantasy, steampunk is just an extra fun thing) and have the futurey part be real life. Thoughts?
