Here's my character sheet:

Character Sheet:

Name: Lily Sohma

Nickname: Lil or Lolly

Age: 16

Appearance: At 5'3, Lily isn't exactly tall, but about average height. She has long, fiery red hair that falls down to her slender waist and bright green eyes that looks almost like shards cut from live emeralds. They shine brightly when she is happy. Lily has soft, ivory colored skin and softly arched baby pink lips.

Personality: In general, Lil is a sweet girl who does her best in everything she does, but she does have a bit of a temper. Mostly, she's a clutsy girl (which her older sister doesn't quite understand, because they had taken years of ballet and gymnastics together) who goes all out for the causes she likes to fight for.

Zodiac Animal: Monkey

Other: She has a crush on Yuki, but anytime she's around him, she usually gets nervous and ends up quite clumbsy. She is from the main house, being Kureno Sohma's daughter.

I call momiji!

I claim other cat char!!! can i?

Sure. I think it should be around new years or some holiday, so that the characters can get together.

Can I be a dog, a dragon and Kyo?

Can I be Yuki and have my own character??

Sure, if you can handle it. Max characters are 5 though I know lots of people can handle way more - if you want more than that, you can pm me or ooc about it and I'll probably do that. Let me strike out kyo's name and fix momiji's - the strike didn't work, lol.

Do you think I could play Ritsu and Ayame? I prefer them as a couple--mostly because I love the difference in their personalities--but if no one would like me to play Yaoi, just the two of them is fine.

Sure. I don't mind yaoi, in fact I used to rp a little with it with a friend. Just keep it clean (pg-13 or less)

Lily Evans wrote:Sure. I don't mind yaoi, in fact I used to rp a little with it with a friend. Just keep it clean (pg-13 or less)

Yes! I will, thank you :3

May I ask how much older--if at all--Yuki and Kyo are than in the book series? This would help me discern Ritsu and Ayame's ages as well ^u^

Hmm, its a year past since the ending of the anime (I haven't read all of the manga, so I'll go by the anime.) Do you know thier ages? And I suppose I could go ahead and start it. The rest of you, choose the cannons and put your originals in. Oh and you guys can do different couples than the anime/manga if you like. Just keep all romance PG-13 or less!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Momiji was helping Shigure put up the streamers for the new year celebration. They would be holding the celebration a day in advance - since the New Years party at the Sohma house only included the actual zodiac animals (without the cat, this being Kyo) leaving Tohru home alone. And no one wanted that, least of all, momiji! "Sheesh, those boys better make up thier mind about Tohru or I'm going to ask her out." he said, causing Lily Sohma to thump him on the ear. "Oww! Shigure, Lily hit me!" he complained, fake tears coming out of his big round eyes. "Oh shush - your going to embarrass people - and yourself by whining so much." she said and grinned. Momiji pouted as Lily messed with his hair. "Great job on the streamers!"

OOC: I've read the manga and I own the anime. They're about 15 in the anime, so shall we say they're roughly 16 now? It doesn't really matter XD! I just wanted to know if it was going to be a significant change that would end Rit-Chan and Ayaa-San as old men. Haha!



"How lively this place is!" a grand voice called across the yard from where the long driveway wound to the road. A turning of heads would have shown Ayame walking up the path, an ever-bashful Ritsu clamped very firmly to his side. It was still very much a secret that the two were anything but friendly at this point, though Shigure might have become keen on it.

"G-Goodmorning." the shy monkey called, shrinking slightly behind the elder Juunishi's shoulder. He had become ever so slightly bolder since his affiliation with the snake had begun. That would have been necessary, though. Ayame was a loud, strong, nearly blinding force. You could not be shy around him, or you would be swept over and trampled, really.

The two had been on their way to the Sohma estate a day early. Since they both--whether they lived together or not was a mystery--lived in Osaka, it had gotten to be very timely on celebration days. Especially since this was Tokyo. Better safe than sorry.



OOC: I hope that this is alright. If not; if anything needs altering, I will gladly do it. Just be sure to tell me :3

OOC: Its perfect. And I know that Yuki looks to Tohru as a mom. And omg, lol, that would be sooooo funny!

IC:

Lily was very different from her unusually quiet father, Kureno. (I know Akito and him were involved together, but I needed an older man, so I'm gonna say he had an affair with a woman and there was Lily) While he was reserved, she was outgoing. Where he was called cold, she was warm. "Ayame!" Lily called, leaving Momiji to run outside to see one of her favorite Sohma family members. She was wondering if Ritsu was there with him - she really liked ritsu since they shared the same zodiac animal. It was an unusual happening - lately there were more children born to the Sohmas and the zodiac animals were found duplicated in the children. There might be two rats or, as Lily and Ritsu were, two Monkeys. (I'm a monkey in real life actually)

Lily burst out the screen door (removing most of the doors that led outdoors in case of Kagura and Kyo, knowing how they liked to fight and often rip holes in the thin panels holding the chill and heat out.) "Ayame! Its good to see you! And you too Ritsu." she said, toning her voice down for Ritsu. Ritsu was such a quiet person, she didn't want to rattle her nerves - well, he WAS often in Ayame's company, so Ritsu might be getting used to it. "Ritsu, what a lovely kimono! And you look dashing too Ayame!" she said. The only time she was quiet was when she was around her crush, Yuki Sohma. And Yuki was a distant cousin to Kureno's side of the family, so she figured it was okay for her to like him - its not like he would ever like her back.

OOC: Lol. D': I wanna continue, but I don't want to flood everyone out >__>;;



"Of course, my dear!" Ayame crowed and the vague image of a peacock came to Ritsu's mind as he gracefully took his arm from the younger male and bowed to the girl. "One can only manage to go out looking dashing when their life is a tapestry of rich color and beautiful masquerade." Ritsu blushed at his gallant demeanor and nearly told him, in his quavering way, how whimsical he seemed.

He said nothing, though, except bowing to the younger monkey and thanking her for her compliment. He was wearing a spring green kimono, long-sleeved of course. It brought out his pretty eyes and Ayame had mentioned, while he was dressing that morning, how well it went against his carrot hair.

His eyes drifted to the roof absently and he thought back on the day that he had spent the afternoon on it, begging Buddha for forgiveness and pleading to die. He would have still been very content to die, and that frightened him somewhat. With another monkey, he really had no reason to live. Akito had told him a long time ago that he could be replaced easily. He was not special, and he wondered if it was true now that there was Lily-Chan.

"You're thinking too hard." he blinked as a set of fair knuckled knocked on his forehead and Ayame spoke to him, gold eyes staring at him in a cheerful way. There was a hint of worry behind them, as the monkey had been spacing out like this quite often lately.

"Yes." the red head tried to smile and nodded his head. The blond only laughed in a fanciful way and took his hand neatly, smiling at Lily again.

OOC: Its fine, they can join anytime. But if you want, we can go to the chatroom and do a little rping there with this idea.

"Oh I know! And your designs are the best! I just love the dresses you make!" she said, rapt in thier chatting. Lily wore a long, emerald green kimono with jeweled flowers that had been her mothers. Her fiery red hair was up in a lovely, twisted braid on top of her hair, held in place with a green jeweled ribbon that matched her kimono. With a fan in her hand, she looked quite lovely, and she often used the little fan embroidered with lace and green ribbons in her expressions.

Momiji came out of the house, rubbing his head. He was wearing a light baby blue kimono that matched his wide eyes. "Hey Ayame, Ritsu. Ouch, Lily did you have to hit me so hard?" Momiji moaned. "Oh shush you." said Lily. "I didn't even hit you that hard." she said, rolling her eyes and digging into her little purse - it was really just a little drawstring purse in matching green she held on her wrist. She opened it and pulled out a sucker, giving it to Momiji, whose eyes went larger than they were already. "Thanks Lily!" he said, jetting back in the house to help out some more. Lily dug in her bag and pulled out a small fan that was decorated like hers, except in a lighter green. She presented it to Ritsu. "For my favorite family member." she said, happily smiling at Ritsu.

OOC: I forgot to say in my previous reply... "Because Ayame just totally talks like that XD!"

- - - - -


Ritsu blinked and blushed, his eyes widening as his hands came up before his face. He flailed them as he began to stutter out his apologetic denial of the gift. All he kept repeating, over and over, between his "I'm sorrys" was how it was far too pretty for him.

It did not take long for Ayame to smack his hand down on the youngers head and silence him. He then proceeded to take the fan from Lily and gave her an overly-dramatic, gracious acceptance speech. Ritsu could only retort with silence and his eyes drifting to the side slightly.

It wasn't really that he felt over-shadowed, but he felt very rude to have the snake accepting it for him. He knew that it was just the snakes manner of being kind to him, but it caused him to feel foolish and his head went down as he carried on mumbling his apologies.

"Don't be silly." Ayame said gently when he had finished his thank you. Gold eyes were on the elder red head again and speculating him in a near gentle way. "It's just your nature." he waved his arm and brought it around the younger males shoulders. "Don't ever apologize for your nature."

- - - - -


OOC: Just so that anyone can jump in now and we don't have that little loose end ;3

Is anyone playing Tohru yet? I will take her if not!

Nope, no one is. Jump in anytime with her.

((Great!))

Tohru hummed lightly to herself as she moved about the kitchen. She was so glad everyone was there helping out. It seemed as though she wouldn't be all alone at least for the celebration part. All the Somahs were probably going to the main house like theey did every year but it was so nice of theem all to be here with her.

She set the timer on the oven and set a pot on the stove before leaving the kitchen to go see how the place looked so far. There were already streamers up and she smiled brightly.

"Oh wow. Everything looks great so far." She said with her usual bright smile that lit up the room. Everything looked so good so far. With everyone helping, it seemed to go much faster and look a million times better in her eyes. The place could be a mess and she would still love it more than anything in the world.

She stumbled on the carpet but caught herself quickly. She had made a prromise to herself that she would try harder to be more alert this year. She seemed to constantly be falling about and causeing trouble, something she really didn't want to do with so many people about. She didn't know how many times a day she changed Kyo and Yuki into their animal forms by accident and she really didn't want to be a bother-something she felt she couldn;t get away from among so many important people like the Sohmas.

She bowed slightly to everyone. "Is there anything i can get anyone? You are all working so hard." She felt that she wasn;t doing mucch. Sure she was cooking and she still needed to go to the store and pick up some last minute things but she hated to see everyone so busy.

(Hee hee, we need a boy that's not related to the sohma's to give the girl's grief)

"Na, I think everyone is good Tohru," said Momiji as he finished tacking the rest of the streamers up on the wall. "The rest of the family should be here soon. This idea about holding new years a day early is great! That means we all can spend time with you!" He said brightly when he saw her almost trip. "Oh Tohru, are you alright?" he asked, worry leaping up into his wide red-brown eyes. Someone once said that his eyes looked like a rabbit's eyes - he supposed that was true since he WAS the Rabbit in the chinese zodiac - but not the only rabbit anymore, he reminded himself.

"Ah! Honda-San, good day." Ritsu called, but before he could stop the snake, he was off in a bee-line. It rather made the monkey flinch as the elder flung his arms around the girl in a motion of hugging her, but didn't.

"My, my, Tohru. Seems as though you only grow prettier and prettier as the days go on. I have to wonder how, though. A lone flower in this house of disgusting masculinity!" Ritsu flinched because he could already sense the swift smacks that the other would be getting. Also, he didn't much care for the fact that the blond acted as such without thinking.

He frowned slightly, bringing his hand up so that he could press his knuckles against his lip in the manner that the nervous, little monkey always seemed to. He didn't want to speak out against the other, for the fact that he was so prudent about their relationship not reaching the main house, but a pang of jealousy was spreading through him as he watched him interact with all of the girls. First the bus driver--since neither of them wanted to drive the entire way by car--then Lily, now Tohru. He would undoubtedly flirt with all of the women he saw, except Isuzu who would likely try to gut him if he did.
