Sexuality & Them:

you might not agree
but I'm just me

i'll put it simply

but thats doesn't change me,
as i'm awesome from day to day!

girls are okay
but boys are as fly as a blue jay

you may see it differently,
but incidentally,

you can grab a chair,
and wait for me to care!

[poem. 56 words.]
Describe their Bedroom:

"When you walk into my room the first thing you'll notice is the scattered anime comic books and plushies everywhere. Next thing you'll see is my computer or bed. They both have a pretty cool set-up, I'd say. My bed looks like a mango shrimp nigiri roll. It's covers are the mango and shrimp part while my bed is the rice part. I've got a pretty normal sized room with brick walls on one side and white side walls with plenty of windows! I love my room because its everything I never got to have back in Japan!"

[98 words.]
Conversation: A conversation between Hamachi and himself one day. /please read with pauses and annoyed grunts for extra effect./

[Hamachi is on the hunt for his phone; after he lost it, again.]

"Darn Hamachi. Where did you put it?"

"I dunno, maybe if you weren't such a dunzt we would't have lost it in the first place."

"Me? That sir, is your problem."

[Hamachi trips over a pile of clothes due to being too entranced in his conversation.]

"Dangnabit Hamachi."

[Hamachi lies on the floor for a minute before returning to look.]

"I think I know where it is, Hamachi!"

"Yeah, smart guy?"

"It's in the refrigerator if I remember correctly."

[Hamachi checks.]

"Why did I put this here???"

[narrative. 100 words.]

About the Plushie:

"Neo? I got Neo when I arrived in California. I was basically penniless and at the time, didn't know anyone. Thats when I met a local sushi shop owner and told me his story of hardship and a folktale about octopi. He gave me this plushie and a home."

[49 words.]
Hobby:

Remember this scene from the Lion King 1 1/2? Well it's close to Hamachi's favorite hobby- without slugs. Hamachi likes to get with his friends and challenge them to a sushi eating contest to see who can eat the most. Whoever looses, buys the comic books for that week!

[50 words.]
How they show Affection: This happened between Hamachi and my plumerian Jace. Jace is the gray, while Hamachi is the black.

"Hamachi, can you let go?"

"Oh- I didn't- Sorry."

"Don't apologize Hamachi, your hugs are just so- tight."

"I love you Jace."

"I love you too buddy, but you can let go now, ya know."

[Hamachi lets go of Jace.]

"Wanna go get some tea?"

"Yeah! I really love tea!"

[script. 50 words.]
One Quirk:

When Hamachi landed in America, he knew almost no English. Hamachi learned slowly, but unfortunately, didn't learn the sarcasm part. He doesn't understand sarcasm and tends to look like a cute-lil fool. "Oh yes, I totally have a third eye.", "You do?! Where?". He can be quite a child sometimes.

[third person. 50 words.]
Breaking Point:

'I wouldn't really say that I have a breaking point. I've already been so alone and lost my trust before, that I don't really know if that could happen again. I'm slowly trusting others into my life again. I suppose my breaking point would be being as broken as before."

[first person. 50 words.]

Childhood:

You raised your hand to strike me once again. It was the same everyday. Father I won't fail you again. Father I will do better. Father I can prove myself. You never believed in me as a son. You're disappointed I'm not the son you expect me to be. You start the fights and quickly end them with door slams or worse. You've said you're done with me hundreds times before, but now I'm scared you mean it. You do. You leave me standing in my room, alone. That's when it hit me, without you dad, I truly am alone.

[second person. 100 words.]
Irritation:

Hamachi gets irritated by one thing only; violence. Both physical and emotional fights are the type of thing that gets Hamachi steaming. He's peace friendly and absolutely dreads war-talk. His heart is set on harmony and concord. Hamachi feels this way due to his past experiences with violence and hate.

[50 words.]
Goals for the Future:

Hamachi's biggest goal for the future would to open a non-profit restaurant for the homeless and for those who cannot afford to eat. The restaurant would be called simply, Hamachi's and everything would be free. He funds the restaurant through donations and good hope. He would make all the food.

[50 words.]

Extra #1:
My name is Hamachi.
Born June 9th 1993

Japan was my homeland
it was unplanned
but he no longer wanted me.
I wasn't what he wanted me to be.

I left my once home with ease.
and planted myself in the east.
-sunny California to be exact

its was definitely abstract
different scenes and different people
yet they were all so kind.

thats when I knew,
I wanted to help mankind

I outlined and refined
my plans were divine.

I'd help those less fortunate
me, a happy, go lucky plumie,
doing what I loved.

I couldn't believe it.
I was finally happy.

See daddy?
I'm doing just fine.

I'm gay and you don't like that
but you needed to take a step back.

It's taken years to see it,
But I don't need you.

Never did.

So you ask 'who am I?'

I am everything I ever wanted.

I AM AUSTRALIAN, SPELLINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT
Username: Coldish

Name: Ikura // salmon roe, made into sushi
Gender: ♀

Sexuality & Them: asexual // Ikura was for a long time bisexual, however she lost all romantic interests with the death of her friend and crush, whom she loved and cared for deeply. When she met him, she was just an innocent young plumerian, one who lacked any kind of fun in her life. Limited by her perfectionism and OCD, she was on the brink of a mental meltdown. He swept her away and showed her how to let go of it all. The day he died she learned he never loved her and she accepted the fact harshly, deciding to never love again.
99/100

Describe their Bedroom: You step into a brightly lit room, with pale, coral-orange tinted walls speckled with sunlight. In the far left corner is a fishnet hammock, and filling the corner, are assortments of cushions, each different shades of blue pink and gold. Along the right wall are bookshelves stacked neatly, coordinated by the colour and size of each cover. The shell-designed carpet in the centre of the room matches the swirl-patterned curtains and the wooden floorboards are almost shining. On the desk is a red and orange lava lamp, laptop, art supplies and sketchpad. The wall is decorated with colourful paintings.
99/100

Conversation: // Echo //

Ikura // "Echo, you did it again!"
Echo // "What?"
Ikura // "You left this book lying on the floor!"
Echo // "First of all, it's not on the floor, it's on a pillow, and second, you need to calm down. I just went to grab a drink, I'm not done with it yet."
Ikura // "Yes, well, it doesn't look right, so next time you plan on getting a drink, please put the book back where it belongs"
Echo // "You don't control me..."
Ikura // "If you're gonna use my stuff, you've got to abide by my rules."
100/100

About the Plushie: Ikura's friend won the plushie, Nigel, in an amusement park game. Ikura remembers the excitement during that minute as her friend tossed those three rings and landed each on a bottle. He won it for her and despite his death she remains attached to the fluffy octopus.
47/50

Hobby:
Echo // [watches Ikura from the hammock] "What are you doing?"
Ikura // [paints delicately, with thin steaks of colour] "Painting"
Echo // "Oooo, I love your paintings! What's this one about?"
Ikura // "Another dream I had. The sky was made of paper, and burned."
Echo // "Oh..."
49/50

How they show Affection: She took a step forward, just one step but that single step brought her that much closer to him. She could sense him tense up, but she didn't regret her action, for it felt right. She gently laid her head on his shoulder and began to purr gently.
48/100

One Quirk: When nervous, upset or stressed, Ikura has a tendency to lie. Sometimes she lies about important things, but other times she lies without reason.

"Not many see my paintings." His gaze sweeps across the paintings, each a depiction of my own imagination.
"What's this one of? It's amazing!" It's a watercolour of a dream, where the ocean turned red and new land began to grow. It was strange, yet beautiful.
"A strawberry patch."
49/100

Breaking Point:

Heat unbearable and
agony indescribable and
pain intolerable

But the searing and scorching
couldn't compare to the shattering
of my heart as it broke

Too sudden to know
I couldn't let you go
I could never love again

38/50


Childhood: I'd never seen the sea, but I was certainly not disappointed by the scenery before me. The sky is clear and cloudless, the sun shines gloriously upon the sparkling blue expanse stretching before me. It's endless, just as it was described to be, but I could never have fathomed such infinity. My eyes widen in awe and I stand completely dumbstruck taking in the landscape.
"Mother, can I go swim?" I ask, turning to my mother with a pleading expression. She smiles warmly, understanding my eagerness.
"Of course!" I grin and without further ado, I race to the open water.
100/100

Irritation: Ikura watched Echo, scrutinizing her every move. She noticed when Echo nudge a pillow aside. She noticed when Echo ever so slightly knocked a book out of place. She noticed everything. She desperately wanted to scream, why couldn't everybody just keep things neat and tidy, like her, for a change!?
50/50

Goals for the Future: I've painted for all my life. Art is my escape, I always find myself completely engrossed in the representations of my dreams. Some call my works alluring, some call them uncouth, but I've always aspired to becoming a artist who people look to for inspiration, who people admire.
48/50

Extra #1: I like to think that my dreams both remind me of the past, and prepare me for the future. If I describe them to others, they tell me my dreams are vibrant and lucid, but utterly meaningless. I beg to differ. They may seem to be random splashes of elements pulled together by my subconscious, but I understand what they represent. I know that my dreams of fire remind me of the day he died. I also know that my dreams of skies and oceans remind me that I am curious and feel constricted by the life I currently live. I want vibrancy in my life, but I am stuck in this dull one, painting my dreams in silence, waiting for my chance to break free of this tedious routine. I desire something new, that can pull me away, but without destroying what I love: art and my reveries.
149/150

Extra #2:I remember a painting from a while ago of fire. It truly didn't capture the searing heat I am now experiencing. My entire body burns, my fur is singed and every few seconds I let out a desperate scream, hoping I am heard. I know I should've escaped at the first chance I got, but I was looking for my friend. He was in here, somewhere. Or maybe he had already escaped and left me to burn. I hope not. I scream again, this time breaking into a fit of choked sobs. I am going to die here, alone.
"Ikura?" a voice cries out, not too far away.
"Hello?" I reply, my voice raspy. I can make out his shape in the billowing smoke. It is him, he hadn't left me. He nudges me up to my paws and directs me away. He, too, is coughing uncontrollably, but I am stronger than him. Near to the entrance he collapses beside me and no matter what, I cannot move him to safety.
"I'm sorry, Ikura. I can't..." he whispers. His eyes are closed, his breaths weak.
"Did you ever love me?" I choke.
"You were always my friend."
"I love you..."

[Master of Nothing]

Username: THEOrithologist
Name: Soba : A type of noodle sometimes used to substitute rice in sushi.
Gender: agender

Sexuality & Them:
Panromantic Asexual
Soba enjoys being attracted to people of every gender identity, and finds that it fits them, with their cuddly personality and what-not. They are also perfectly happy with being asexual, but still wish to be an adoptive parent if they can. Their orientation has affected their life greatly. It doesn't really bother Soba, but they're still haunted by the feeling that it's because of their orientation that their father left the family.
[74/100]

Describe their Bedroom:
You walk into the bedroom of the plumerian named Soba. Immediately, you see the pasty-white walls littered with posters of various anime shows. You suddenly notice the clutter on the floor. On it lays a mountain of drawings, a laptop, stuffed animals, and everything in between. You then decide to take a seat on the plush bed. The covers are soft but thick, with a seaweed pattern, and there are many pillows. The desk to the right contains a single lamp and a half-drunken glass of water. If the mess is any indication, Soba stays here a lot.
[98/100]

Conversation:
(Soba walks into the library, where Sierra is standing)
Sierra: -noticing Soba- Oh hey, Soba.
Soba: -smiles- Hey, how's it going?
Sierra: Good, just busy. And you?
Soba: -shrugs- Good, but I'm worried about my exams.
Sierra: What? But you're the top in our class! There's no reason you shouldn't ace the exams.
Soba: -blushes- Thanks, Sierra, but I'm still nervous. Do you think you can help me study?
Sierra: -laughs- Sure, but I think you know more than I do about the content of the exams.
[87/100]

About the Plushie:
Aiko the healer,
Aiko the brave.
Never talking,
Yet he speaks a thousand words.
As a token of love,
From a mother so kind,
In place of the thing Soba needed most.
No father,
They lost that chance.
And only for revealing their true self.
Aiko the healer,
Aiko the brave.
Destroying Soba's sorrows.
[50/50]

Hobby:
Soba's hobby is knot tying. It relieves their stress and is always a fun challenge for them.
[17/50]
How they show Affection:
Soba walked up to their classmate, who was reading a book. They poked him in the shoulder and cleared their throat. "I- I just got you these." they said softly, holding a bouquet of freshly-picked peach colored roses. Soba blushed furiously and looked down at the ground.
[47/50]
One Quirk:
One of Soba’s quirks is their tendency to apologize for everything. Even if it’s not their fault, even if no one is complaining or upset, you’ll always find Soba apologizing for something.
[32/50]
Breaking Point:
"Mother?" Soba asked. Their mom had her back turned to them.
"Mother!" Soba repeated, a plea more than anything. "Don't you love me?"
She only shook her head.
Soba awoke with a start and began sobbing. He held Aiko tightly. Only a dream... he thought. Yet the tears continued.
[49/50]

Childhood:
I giggled. Bahiti and I were being troublemakers as usual, as our seven year-old selves. We rode our bikes, the sidewalk disappearing under our feet as we rode, and the houses lining the street soon became a blur.
I gasped suddenly, noticing the manhole I was about to pass over. I swerved towards my friend but crashed anyway- into her. Immediately I felt pain in my jaw. Bahiti emerged with a scratch on her knee. "Are you hurt?" she asked, limping towards me. I shook my head (the only thing I could do), but it was a lie.
[98/100]

Irritation:
"Hey, guys!" Soba cheered. No one replied, and no one met their eyes. It was like they were invisible. They narrowed their eyes. Perhaps they were too quiet, or not direct enough. "Hey!" Soba poked one of them in the shoulder. Nothing. Soba growled. "Why will no one notice me!?!"
[50/50]

Goal for the Future:
Soba wants to learn how to play the piano. They really like the strong yet delicate sound it produces, and they wish to one day be able to play songs by their favorite composer, Maksim Mrvica. It's a dream of theirs, but they haven’t gotten around to it quite yet.
[30/50]

"Dragon Breath" by me

Dragon Breath
Soba has dragon breath
For it is they,
To choose their own path
And never go astray.
For the path they picked
Is all their own.
One day this Soba
May do great things
If only they believe
That they could be king.
Yet maybe they don't,
But the dragon inside,
Can't be defeated by the demons of doubt.
And so it is the dragon-breathed one
Who will stand above the rest.
