CHARACTER
Name: Niou Masaharu
Journal:
Appearance: Niou hasn’t changed since junior high school. His hair likes to change length, depending on how recently he’s had it cut - which can sometimes be a questionably long time - but otherwise he’s the same.
Personality Trying to understand Niou is like trying to catch water in your hands. The harder you try, the faster he’ll slip through your fingers. He’s mercurial, bright, and has continued to live up to his nickname from junior high as a petenshi. Niou acts overly dramatic and rarely takes things seriously, regardless of the situation he’s in, but it’s when the act drops that Niou should probably be watched the most closely.
Biography: Niou disappeared for a year after high school, and tales of his adventures during those 12 months change every time someone asks. Since then, he has returned to Japan, setting up residence in Tokyo in the attic of an old lady’s house, though he walks her dog every day in exchange for the wifi password. He’s currently studying a degree in pure mathematics, working at a second hand bookshop as a part time job where he dresses as someone different every day to make it seem like the store has a large staff roster.
RP Samples: Niou glanced up as the bells on the door jingled, pushing up his glasses slightly with two fingers. “Welcome,” he said, turning the page of his book and putting on a bland smile that matched his tone of voice. What didn’t really match the tone of voice, bland smile and boring outfit he was wearing, was the gas that escaped him in that moment. The illusion dropped for a moment as Niou laughed to himself and he bit his lip as he stared down one of the customers looking at him. “Oh dear, how impolite of me,” he said, before he had to disappear behind the counter to laugh.

CHARACTER
Name: Shiraishi Kuranosuke
Journal:
Appearance: still the same.
Personality: In summary, Shiraishi is a very serious and confident perfectionist, who still knows how to have a good time and relax. He's a very understanding person, who tends to lock away his own negative feelings away to not drag others' moods down. There's also something about his charisma that lets him talk to others to make them face their problems and keep going forward when they need it. By all means, he's not a bad person, even if sometimes he might act like the bad guy in order to keep someone in line.
Biography: Shiraishi quit tennis pretty fast after leaving Shitenhouji. He mostly played for the team, not for himself, so he saw no reason to pursue a career. He went to high school in Osaka, but decided to go to Uni in Tokyo. He is currently studying botany at the University of Tokyo. After a while, he started working at a small flower shop and joined a dancing club to pass freetime. Currently he's living in the Basil Gardens.
RP Samples: Shiraishi liked to have routines. He would get up early in the morning and go for a jog. Usually he ended running to the nearby shrine to watch the morning sky from there. After that he returned home and had some tea before heading to school, work or elsewhere for the day. He went out for a jog even while it rained. One time his routine was abruptly disturbed by the sound of a small kitten in a box, shivering in the rain. It felt like something out of an anime, this meeting, as he bent down and took the little guy out of the box to keep him warm and and shelter him from the rain.
It was one of the rare days Shiraishi didn't run to the shrine and instead turned around to head towards home.

CHARACTER
Name: Zaizen Hikaru
Journal: this one
Appearance: Still the one with the hair and the resting bitch face, just older with more piercings.
Personality Zaizen is one of those people who is more social online than in real life; he spends most of his time in public wearing headphones. Despite this, he is a loyal friend once that relationship is earned. His likes include music, dessert, and blogging anything and everything. He has a low tolerance for bullshit, stereotypes, and vending machines that don’t carry red bean soup all year round. Secretly, he loves his nephew.
Biography: First of all, Zaizen started using dreamwidth before it was cool. But rewind from there -- he continued with tennis and was captain of the Shitenhouji team in his final year of junior high school. As a high school student, he joined the team with those among his senpai who participated and played up until his final year of high school. When he quit, he said it was to study for exams, but he just didn’t want to be captain again. To pursue his dream of working in the music industry, Zaizen moved from his family home in Osaka to Mikiya Mansion in Tokyo.
Although he misses his young nephew, Zaizen is keeping himself plenty busy with class at Tokyo University of the Arts, his late night radio show, and the occasional DJ gig. He continues to blog regularly, and moved his personal blog platform over to dreamwidth.
RP Samples:
Zaizen groaned at his laptop and leaned back in his chair. Why was everyone suddenly on dreamwidth? Even Shiraishi had joined the platform. Probably some of his professors had joined, too. Who would be next -- Tooyama Kintarou?!
No, that would just be crazy.
Pushing his headphones down to his neck, Zaizen arranged his hair clips to keep his long, unstyled bangs from curling toward his eyes. He took a slow breath. Something could be done with this; if life wanted to toss some lemons his way, well, he wasn’t about to get bored just staring at them.
His fingers hit the keyboard.

Age: Old
Player's Journal: n/a
E-mail: yukiseiichi@ [gmail]
Buddy system: Sure
CHARACTER
Name: Marui Bunta
Journal: maruibuns (this one)
Appearance: He looks pretty much the same as in the anime series (carmine hair, lilac-ish eyes). He kept his weight down from ShinPuri, his hair is slightly shorter and messier. Sadly, he hasn't grown much, so instead of 165, he is 169cm. He has a tattoo he got when living abroad on his left arm/shoulder, but he tries not to show much of it when in Japan.
Personality: Laid-back, Marui enjoys the simple things... eating sweets, playing, eating more sweets, sleeping. He isn't very fond of responsibilities and if he can delegate any to others he will. Even tho he is turning 21 soon, he is not very mature, still enjoying his comics, plotting fun things and keeping life exciting. Despite blaming others when things don't go his way, he is a very loving and, usually, kind person. There is a certain arrogance to him as well, however, whether or not it comes from the heart not even he knows. He is still very sure of his genius, tho,... both tennis and music skills (able to play almost any instrument).
Biography: Before his 3rd year of high school, Marui parents thought he should gain life experience elsewhere in the world. They thought he was too settled and his life was mainly tennis, eating and looking after the brothers, so they send him away, slightly against his will. He wanted to stay and finish high school with his mates, but his folks were having non of that. Since he was very close friends with Jackal, he moved to Brazil where he stayed with some of Jackal's relatives for 3 years, finishing high school and entering university. He studied music and languages (Japanese and Portuguese) for two years, then moved to the UK where he studied English for a year. He has just returned to Japan and is doing some short access courses to be able to start in the 3rd year at Waseda studying Japanese, Portuguese and English.
During high school he started a band and had one or two bands ever since. Every other year he returned to Japan to see his family and maybe his old friends if they had time for him.
RP Samples: [journal entry]
I go away for a couple of years (ok, 4), come back, and my favourite bakery is gone!? How? Why? This is so uncool. Maybe they moved... I will need to do some investigating, but it's not there right now and I'm sad, I was really looking forward to their cherry layer cake :( Either way, I'll be studying at Waseda and wouldn't be able to go there as often as I did in high school, so it means I need to find another favourite place closer to uni and dorm.
Still haven't been able to catch up with anyone, (so if you are for some reason seeing this journal, HI!) there is so much to tell you all I don't even know if I can be bothered! XD
I have a month or so of access courses before I start my 3rd year so I moving my stuff into my dorm this afternoon. Volunteers to help me being my stuff up are welcome and needed. I will pay you in krispy kreme.

E-mail: chris.sy@mail.com
Buddy system: I desperately need a buddy.
CHARACTER
Name: Irie Kanata
Journal:
Appearance: Same as in current canon, although he sometimes elects to wear contacts.
Personality: Irie is praised by his professors for his excellent bedside manner. Acting, it turns out, does have its practical applications in the medical world. Take that, aunt who said he was wasting his time. He generally acts friendly and welcoming to all, but still enjoys pulling the occasional leg. He has to vent all of the stress from his schoolwork somehow. Very few of his relationships are genuine, but he would go to great lengths for those that he truly considers his friends. His friends are often unsure as to whether or not they are, in fact, friends. He exemplifies his university's motto of "self-reliance and self-study." Though he often trades favors with people, he makes a point of truly relying on nobody but himself (and, on occasion, his older sister).
Biography: Irie quit playing tennis after the U-17 World Cup; he's satisfied with having played at the international level in high school. He kept in contact with a few people from the Japanese U-17 team via e-mail, but nobody from his actual high school, having taken a social media hiatus upon graduation which surprised everyone, given his, uh, attention seeking tendencies. He's only recently joined Dreamwidth and started to reconnect with people. He's currently in his sixth and final year at Tokyo Medical University, with the intent of eventually becoming an orthopedic surgeon. In his off time, Irie gives private music lessons to children in the area. He currently resides in Basil Gardens, having moved there at the beginning of his 5th year.
RP Samples: Irie bows solemnly, not a centimeter's difference from the appropriate height. "My apologies, but I'm afraid that I will no longer be able to continue your daughter's lessons once my university's summer break begins, as I'll be away for my internship. I am in my last year, after all." He pauses. "I have enjoyed teaching her these past few years, though. She really has improved quite a lot."
He turns to leave, but is stopped by a small hand clutching his wrist. He turns around and squats, making eye contact with his student. She wipes a tear from her eye. "Don't worry," he says soothingly, "I know you'll be the star of the brass band in middle school. Kanata-sensei taught you everything he knew."
He stands up again, winking at her mother, before walking out of the apartment. His shoulders droop from their previously impeccable posture as soon as the door closes behind him. He wipes his glasses on his shirt before descending the stairs to his bicycle below.

E-mail: Melohneee@gmail.com
Buddy system: Will be a buddy if needed!
CHARACTER
Name: Tachibana An
Journal:
Appearance:
An hasn't grown much in height, and remains rather petite only standing at 156 cm but one thing that has grown is her hair. She keeps it shorter in the front and past her shoulders in the back. Occasionally clipping it up. So far she has maintained it long for the past two years but she could change that.
Personality:
An hasn't changed all too much since Junior high beside maturing and also mellowing out. Still an outgoing and cheerful person, she can be rather quirky and doesn't mind showing it.
She considers herself a hot head at times but for the most part she's learned to not get angry over certain things and has learned to go with the flow. It doesn't mean she can't lose her cool every once and a while.
Biography:
After graduating from Fudomine she went on to study at Seigaku for high school. While juggling tennis and school she began to study for her University exams and managed to make it into Keio University. Choosing a university and a major to study had not been easy for her but once she started making a list of pro and cons, she decided that she would study Psychology, The human mind had always interested her so it seemed like the right choice.
As of now she is currently about to start her second year of psychology. An has also been in the Tennis club at Keio since her first year. She has no aspirations to become professional but enjoys being able to compete in her university and still occasionally plays on the street courts.
When she’s not practicing or studying, An works at a second hand bookshop with a colorful array of workmates who are one in the same (Niou) from a man who goes by ore-sama to a man who says adieu quite to many times.
An continues to live with her parents as a way to cope with costs and being able to save up more money.
RP Samples:
So far the day had been slow, no one had come in since the start of her shift but between her workmate and the new books they had received she could keep herself busy enough. Even if Niou was dressed up as one of his more simple characters.
Placing a book on a high shelf she heard a soft jingle from the front. Finally at least someone new to attend to. Smiling to herself she stepped down from the step she used to reach the higher shelves and proceeded to walk to the front only to stop when she embraced the the fart that her bespectacled cowoker dropped on them all.
Gross.
Maintaining her smile she looked towards the customer and quickly moved them away from area and closer to the more mustier smelling books. That would do.
As she finished attending she went back to her coworker and raised an eye brows. "Please, if you're going to fart at least keep it outside, Niou-Senpai." An finished non-nonchalantly.

Tooyama Kintarou

Age: 20
Player's Journal:
E-mail: chris.sy@mail.com
Buddy system: I'd like a buddy on this account too, please!
CHARACTER
Name: Tooyama Kintarou
Journal:
Appearance: Puberty hit Kintarou like an eighteen-wheeler going at 200kph. He's 176cm tall and, though he still has a relatively scrappy build, he's obviously an athlete. He's what the kids call "ripped." He's grown his hair out a little longer and attempts (key word: attempts) to tame it into a short ponytail. His face is somewhere on the cusp between cute and handsome (until he opens his mouth, at which point it just becomes annoying).
Personality: He's matured since middle school, but he's still as excitable as ever. A lot can change in six years, but a lot stays the same. He has a tendency to keep talking even when nobody is listening and tries to pursue friendships long after the other party has rebuffed him. Children love him and he loves them back. Although he's gained plenty of respect and established himself as a key player on the Japanese tennis scene, he's also a notorious maverick and had difficulty being scouted, as few wanted to handle a personality as forceful as his. He has an extremely unfortunate love for memes.
Biography: Kintarou has never held a leadership position, even on the tennis court. Nobody with eyes, not even Osamu, would trust him with one. His parents cracked down on him in high school and he started to attend tutoring sessions to get his other subjects up to a passable level. He's the first in his family to attend a university, but he's only managed to because Keio scouted him, one of the top ranked high school players in the nation, to play for one of its tennis clubs. He's currently majoring in Education Studies, mostly for the opportunity to work with kids.
Kintarou is attempting to mitigate his debt with a combination of need-based scholarships and two part-time jobs: one as a busboy at an Osakan restaurant near Mikiya Mansion, where he resides (his parents deemed him unfit for living with a roommate), and one as an assistant instructor at a tennis school. The restaurant mainly pays him in free food.
He plans to go pro after he graduates (although he frequently considers dropping out of university and preemptively going pro). He's primarily going to university because his parents insisted after he was given the opportunity to attend Keio.
