AGE: 16
GENDER Male

YEAR IN SCHOOL HS-1
ENROLLMENT Well-off family. His dad works for a huge Japanese corporation.

APPEARANCE: http://zappaslaverp.pbworks.com/f/1235785486/Yoyo.jpg
PERSONALITY: Yoyo fancies himself a smooth talker with a silver tongue. In his own little world, he can spin words to make the ladies' hearts melt. He never reserves an opinion on a girl's positive looks, but is prone to using the wrong terms. More than likely, he uses one of the two extremes of a description; quick and blunt, or so many elaborate adjectives that the whole purpose is lost and forgotten. Thus far, he's had little success, especially amongst his own, though, on rare occasion, he manages to succeed, swooning those that he ends up never seeing once again (damn those tourists and foreigners.)

But as much as he loves the ladies, art is his first love. Any flat surface he can reach is an instant canvass for him to express himself. Oft, his murals might be gifts to a girl whose eye he tries to capture. His smaller, easier to place tags are mostly for marking territory for the GG's. Yoyo keeps himself laid back and working on new tags and murals whenever he's not out skating, tagging, or stuck in school being bored to death. To him, art is far more important than most material things. It's nigh-impossible to find him without some sort of painting medium, be it a can of spray paint, or a tube of acrylic for those cases where metal detectors are quite apparent.

Unlike the rest of his crew back in Japan, Yoyo wasn't too interested in all the territory war that went on between different tagger gangs. He was in it for the sake of having a larger variety of "canvasses" to paint on as he saw fit. Plus, the people he ran with were a pretty fun and friendly bunch, who mostly thought the same. However the manner of repression police used to squash graffiti artists made for the occasional subject for a new piece. It wasn't always that he painted for the sake of the ladies, or, whatever abstract design he'd cooked up.

COMPUTER APTITUDE: Competent, but no hacking or hardly any toward that for filtering.
WEAKNESSES (OPTIONAL): Yoyo's grades are sub par and he holds no eye for the consequence for WHERE he paints.

AU HISTORY: Yoyo lived with his family in the better parts around Shibuya. His dad forks in a high seat in a large corporation. Mom's a homemaker.

Yoyo had grown up always with a love for art, and frequented to drawing outside, though, sadly limited to the canvas of paper. One afternoon, a member of the tagging gang known as the GGs came upon him and his art. It was easy to turn Yoyo to a new medium as he was handed his first can of spray paint. The problem was, he didn't have what the rest of the gang did in order to have him keep up with the rest; roller blades. He went without them for a while, having to get to and fro on foot and train. It was a good year amongst the GGs before Yoyo saved up for his own skates.

As the few years went by, Yoyo shifted from drawing and painting on paper, to larger pieces on the walls and trains of Japan, though it was Shibuya that was his "turf". However when it comes to "gangs", turf is always a problem, and there were a handful of other gangs that would have the GGs' turf as their own. Battles, as fought by quantity of graffiti as well as physical, were frequent, but Yoyo, personally, had no interest in them. Besides the other gangs, police were also a problem, keeping everyone from painting as they saw fit. Though most of the GGs busied themselves in "battles" with other gangs, Yoyo took his "arms" against the police and their artistic suppression.

However, Yoyo was caught, the first time, painting on a corporate building, in a piece speaking out against the police's suppression. With no previous "criminal record", he was let off with a warning, but not without repercussion. The building in which he painted on was the one that housed the company his father worked for. And in this company, a shame such as a delinquent child has terrible repercussion. He did not want to punish his son, but Yoyo's dad couldn't sit by for long and not do anything about this.

His hand was forced the second time, weeks later, when Yoyo was caught again, attempting to finish the piece he'd once started.

But how did Yoyo get caught, not once, but twice, in the same location, on the same piece? Yoyo planned his timing around one of the many fights between rival gangs, to which the police would quickly respond. Things went well, until Yoyo forgot about the building's own security. The first time he was caught, and the police were called. The second time, he was caught by his own father, working late at the office. It was at this point he had to concede that his son was a delinquent, and this would bring upon untold shame in his company, were this to get out. Taking it upon himself to punish his son, rather than the police, or any of this going public, Yoyo's father cast him out, essentially banishing him from home until he finished his education, or reformed (by preference of his father, whichever would come second).

Spending from his own pocket, he sent Yoyo off to a boarding school half a world away, to Reims Academy.

SAMPLES
INTRANET/1ST PERSON SAMPLE Yo man... anyone know why it's so damn hard to get spray paint around here? I mean, it's like the whole country is against me or something, cuz there ain't anything around on mainland that sells it. I thought a whole buncha famous painters came from France, right? Or wassat Italy? I dunno man. I'm all out, and I don't like this... whole... fingerpainting thing I've resorted to.

It's lame.

At least it's not like I'm using a paint brush. That'd be real regression. I can't get the same like... lines with it. S'awkward.

Wait... back on point... Spraypaint. Where do I get the stuff around here? Don't tell me I gotta get it like... imported or something? I do not have money for that man.

I shoulda been more frugal about it... seriously.

LOG/3RD PERSON SAMPLE http://reimsapplicants.livejournal.com/418.html?thread=87202#t87202 Esta bueno, si?

HAVE YOU READ THE FAQ? Yes, but please don't unleash the rabid wombat.

Woah! Sweet! New roomies!

I mean... though... I guess you can't like, look INTO who knows who or anything otherwise like... then you could room people who get along...

**Who's he talking to anyway? Is anyone AROUND him perchance? Kinda weird to talk to himself :P**

Woulda been cool if Kyoko'd been put in my room.

And that chick is still whinin...

Yoo... why was that so hard man... It's like... I had the idea in my head but, it never looked right when it came out. I think cuz it's like... that's the first time I've worked with painting something that isn't human yo. Maybe... I dunno man but, seriously people! Quit abusing those little pringer things man... I mean... whatev their situation is, they're still living things that y'know... live. And it's the holidays too man... Christmas is comin up an...

CRAP YO! I'm days late! Damnit...!

THAT'S WHY IT TOOK SO LONG! I knew I forgot something... crap...

**Yoyo's been looking pretty bored the last week or so. Or, perhaps just distracted. Nothing new's gone up in weeks, so, finally, it's about time he got to painting something new. And, it looks like rather familliar subject matter again.

Intervene!**

**Now that Yoyo's more or less done with the card game, he's gotten around to painting again. It's not hard to find his work around the netherworld, as it's the ONLY artwork on the walls, amirite?

One of the mermaid cards he got.

Clearly not YGH. It's Raspberyl! Tagged under it it reads
"DO YOUR HOMEWORK"

**So, Yoyo's under the Kyoko mural sifting through these playing cards. Lots of them have some pretty inspiring pictures of girls in them, so, he's going through them, over and over. The 'instructions' to the game are on the ground a few feet away... Might that be considered littering?

Alas, all are welcome to bother him, since, he's occupied with not bothering his favorite ladies.**

**Scattered throughout the ~~cosmos~~Netherworld, Yoyo's managed to put up SEVERAL new murals this week. Most of which have been place in no particular location, but, much to the dismay of a certain maid, each has been blessed, thanks to Urd, and can't be removed by any of your conventional means. I won't say it's totally irremovable, but, it's a daunting task.

If you're one of the girls he put on hold (Etna/Raspberyl) now's your time to NAG HIM LOTS**

Mariya. And Yoyo doesn't know it's a trap!

Reisen. He thought the rainbow hair would be more artistic.

Tsuruya. The text reads 'megas' since she was saying that a lot.

Urd. Text reads '2nd class Goddess; 1st class hotness

Tenshi. Specifically requested to be painted over the door of the Dark Assembly. Apparently, that's supposed to be her doing a 'holy symbol'

((Also taking this time to go on hiatus until Nov 1, after convention time! (Onicon)

**Not much of a post this week, but, the tagger kid isn't that hard to spot. He's actually standing at a wall, with the text

"Artist needs female muse. Inquire below"

painted above him.

Any takers, ladies?**

You got graffit soul, act 1!

2009-10-15T14:39:17Z

**On the very same wall that everyone got to meet Yoyo at, there is THIS masterful piece of work. As he'd promised, it's model numbah 1, Kyoko. Surely, if you scribble over it, he'll come fix it later, if Kyoko doesn't hurt you first!

Also, he's just finished so, you can ask the artist about his masterpiece!**

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TAAAAABB!

GUUUUUM!!

BEEAAAAATTT!!

This isn't some side of Shibuya I don't know about it, is it? I'm not feelin the Hell motif here dude...

**But... he is feeling a rather giant, flat surface, with nothing on it. You will catch the newest arrival gawking at how awesomely large and not-painted this wall is.**

2008-11-05T23:03:19Z

Yyyyeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh~~~~ Got my groove back! Thanks babe!

I'm still open for 'exterior decorating'

2008-10-29T20:36:12Z

Y'know... I'm getting just a little bored. I think this place lacks anyone who appreciates art.

Well, no, there's the brush gods, but maybe it's the subject matter that isn't interesting.

I don't have a muse. Maybe that's it. I don't have any new inspiration. There's no media, no competition. No one to bounce ideas off of. I've got every wall of this city to myself, and nothing to paint.

2008-10-22T22:21:52Z

Hey... anyone seen a girl with long blonde hair that likes wearing purple. I... haven't seen her in a while. Her name's Ino.

I haven't seen her since the gas thing started too... I ended up hanging out with my roommate all week...

[TXT]

2008-10-15T17:39:13Z

Man... the whole city smells like that weird paint... man... I know this smell too...

...god this is gonna nag me all day...

THE LOVE SHOCKERS! THAT'S WHAT IT IS!

shape_da_future @ 2008-10-08T18:19:00

2008-10-08T23:41:36Z

This week... has been awfully weird as hell... But y'know... it ain't all bad. Ino-babe... I hope you're gonna be okay... I'm gonna come over soon.

But... dig this yo... I got a whole bunch of different brushes and stuff and... well... I got some ink at an art store. I'm tellin ya though, I'm gonna try to do this with my spraypaint!

Oh! And something else crossed my mind the other day. If anyone wants their house painted... lemme know! I got a whole lotta nuthing but being with my girl to do!

I see you at my job
You carrying yourself so well
I made myself a promise
Not to get emotioneel~
As I remain stable
I take another glance at you
If we were at the disco, whoa-whoa
Then I would have to dance with you
This isn't cool

And in my lonely eyes
I see myself in eloquent strives
In a dark tuxedo
Ego's nothing to her

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten
Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten
Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten

I see you, about a quarter after nine
You shining the neon sign
Where are you from?
You floating like an angel of the night
Into the light
And leave me with this song to write
And now I'm loaded, holding my sack
Yo, wonderin' where she is at
With a line of customers getting mad
They didn't see what I seen
The store queen made it easier
For one fine eve

And in my bloodshot eyes
All I can see is everythings fine
With a turning stomach
Running thoughts through my head

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten

You came in here again
I'm drinking by the copier
I made myself a promise
That I would finally talk to her
As I remain stable
I take another drink for you
I set it on the table
I'm sure I look like a drunken fool

And in my lonely eyes
I see myself in eloquent strives
In a dark tuxedo
Ego's nothing to her

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten
Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand
I haven't been the same man
Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand

Hello, Allison, I wanna hold your hand

Since I saw you comin' in
Let's have a toast to the girl in aisle ten

Hello Allison...
Aisle ten aisle 10 oooOooooo

**Yoyo's a jammin out... and if you pass him in public, he has a lot of purple and yellow paint, and he's probably up on a ladder next to a wall... doing what he does best.**

2008-09-24T03:42:34Z

First: How's my skating?

Inoue Orihime
-A babe for sure, though a bit... off. Something's weird about her... like she ain't all there... or TOO MUCH there. But god DAYUM!
((LOL Who woulda thought I'd run into you here Fae!))

Yamanaka Ino
-Definitely sounds hot. Confident little ass-kicker too. She woulda fit right in with the crew... Y'know... if they were here. But for reals... can't wait to meet her!
((Yeah, it wasn't till you mentioned Sai that I thought she mighta been younger Ino. 15-16 ain't so bad.))

Elena
-Poor girl got booted from her crew. We're kinda in the same boat.
((:P yeah, thas about it thus far. I haven't seen a reply since that))

Amaterasu
-He said I could possibly learn the brush techs... That's be freakin sweet... But years man...?

Itegami
-The big ox brush god. Homie told me about those ice skills and... Hell, he seems like he'd be up for teaching me!

Kabegami
-It's like everything I say infatuates this guy... But if he's one of those brush gods, he's cool in my book
((Yeah, like I said, cuz of you guys, I got Okami on the Wii... and I prefer it on the PS2 (for what little I played)))

shape_da_future @ 2008-09-20T11:07:00

2008-09-20T16:17:24Z

So... what... I count two? And there's supposed to be like... thirteen of you guys? What happened to the rest of the Brush God crew? I've been wonderin... Could I learn that thing that the... ox god... Eta-kami(?) was talking about? That'd be damn tight to have like... art kind come to life.

OH HEY! Everyone can peep this right? I think I worried a couple babes sayin I couldn't really fight these things off. I still can't, but I'm still kickin, yo!

3rd tag...

2008-09-16T06:37:48Z

**Yoyo wakes up for his first time in the cage. He scrambles through his stuff for his phone, which isn't his. But he knows his numbers and calls 'a friend', only to make the following public voice post**

Dammit... answer your phone man! Those Golden Rhino guys found me and laid me out. They musta thought I was just some kid, cuz they split, but I think they're lookin for us. Be on your toes man, those guys look dead serious... Like guns an stuff... I dunno if paintin's gonna scare 'em off like those Rokkaku guys...
