Application for Momiji Sohma

[momiji]

My Name: Rissy

My Age: 18

Character I am applying for: Momiji

---

How much experience do I have? I've been role-playing online since 2001. I've been role-playing in general since I was 9.

How often can I role-play? When school gets back in (2 weeks 'till new semester) I probably will need to cut it to 4 times a week, but until then I'm daily; no problems there.

How much of Fruits Basket have I seen/read? Seen it all and praying for a second season; read it up to Volume 12.

Sample post (I wrote this at two in the morning. If there are problems, please let me know and I can provide a better sample.)

Momiji leaned back in his seat as his teacher continued the lecture. locks of wavy blonde bangs kept getting in his eye, and he found himself blowing upward to try to move them to safer and less irritating areas of his forehead. After a moment he touched his cheek tenderly, and was relieved to note that it barely hurt at all. With a small sigh of relief, he knew that Tohru was probably also nearly healed.*

Shutting his eyes against the onslaught of knowledge, Momiji began to swing his legs back and forth. The boredom emanating from this ludicrous teacher seemed to fill the room, leeching into the minds of every student until they all were washed away by the trolling words of the man at the front of the room, drifting away in a haze of geography and mathematics. But Momiji wouldn't be taken in by such a devious plot, no! "It's time to save the world!" Momiji leapt from his chair with the war cry and began to laugh gloriously. He stopped, realizing too late that he was carried away again, and desperately thought of excuses for his outburst.

"Yeeees..." the teacher replied after a thought, "I suppose that's one way of looking at the upcoming career fair. Please sit down, Sohma-kun. We are all looking forward to next week too, I'm sure."

Smiling, inwardly sighing with relief, Momiji slid back into his seat amidst well-meaning laughter from his classmates. At least the class seemed to have woken up now, he thought.

*This segment would have happened about a week after the end of Volume 12 in the manga.

((For the record: I realize my computer says that "blonde", "leapt," and "amidst" are incorrect, but I disagree. They look just fine to me. Then again, I say it's colour and not color, so maybe this is one of those times. I'll look it up in a dictionary later. Hope this sample isn't too long.))

((Sorry, it's me again. Question: As the manga progresses and we learn new things about the characters, are we required to alter those things? For example, I just saw a image of Momiji playing the violin. Does that mean he can play it? Can I suddenly introduce that and it isn't a big deal? Can I ignore other things (his sudden growth spurt, for example!) as it suits me? Just curious))

((One last comment. I was going for Yuki at first, but I like being able to write "Holier than thou" logic, and I also can't think of any character that gets to make up and retell more random fairy tales than Momiji. Hence, I hope to be the chibi blonde whirling machine of plucky!))

I am not an administrator, so I can't answer your questions. But, I can say: I VOTE YES!!!!!!

*clears throat* Okay, now that I got that out of the way.... I think that we are only going by what's in the anime so far, which means that you could probably just use any of the traits you wish to. But, I am not an administrator, so, I can't be sure. If at all possible, perhaps you could con the owners to let you create an account for Yuki-kun... We /really/ need one.

[momiji]

I must admit, I'd have no problems playing two characters, and I think it would be rather enjoyable to have the peppy hyper and the angtsy glooming both under my command (mwa ha ha!). It's a little unorthodox...

But I'd like to wait until I get accepted before I try to start bending the rules.

[Kisa Sohma]

I would vote yes. The sample was well written. I like how your style flows.

[Tohru Honda]

Oh, I definitely vote yes. I thought your writing sample was very good and I'm so pleased you joined!

Yes, but we are going by the anime here. I'd have no problem with you making certain things up about Momiji though, because he, like any other character, can still be explored. We don't know everything about Momiji in the anime and since there hasn't been a second season yet, we probably won't. So it's up to you!

As for you also playing Yuki, I would have absolutely no problem with that, basically because Momiji is more of a minor character. But I understand if you think that handling two characters would be too hard on you, especially when school starts, because you might be posting twice as much as everyone else (unless you don't always post with Momiji, which is understandable because he isn't always around).

I'm going to go ahead and say you're in, because I know Hana would definitely say yes, too.

[momiji]

Okay, that's great. I'm going ahead and planning on doing Yuki, too. I'll do an official application later today.

Thanks for letting me in!

(As soon as other people come along...well, I explain that in the PM that I just sent, heh heh)

[Tohru Honda]

PM you just sent? Did you send it to me? ?Hmm...I didn't get one. Maybe it's slow...I'll wait awhile. Hehee.

I agree with Tohru.

[Hana]

Oh hey, sorry for missing this super amazing post! ;_; School ate up my time the other day, but now I'm on break! WOOHOO!

^.^ And Tohru was right, I DEFINATLEY vote yes.

Welcome! ^-^
