What I'm Not [TZadRa's Plots]

Junko Ishibashi • Female • 18 • Heterosexual • Player • OTHER • OTHER

Junko is, as a glance will tell, a girl who's had to live through a few hard times, and has come off worse for wear. As a result of her childhood trauma, she doesn't exactly have the most self-esteem, and can find it difficult to open up to others. However, she has lived as Tsubakuro, her online self, for a while, and anonymity is a liberating thing. While the fact that she has to live in this world with her real face isn't exactly her ideal, it's quite possible that some of her alias's courage will rub off on her as time passes. For the most part, Junko just wants to get by in this world, neither being attached to it, nor having an all-consuming need to return.


While Junko can be withdrawn and timid, she does genuinely desire friends and human contact. As a friend, Junko is patient, and can be truly empathetic. While she may lack the experience or wisdom to provide solid advice or guidance, she is more than willing to stand by someone she considers their friend, through both good times and bad. For her part, what Junko seeks is something similar; people she can both enjoy life with, and lean on when she needs support. This is a simple desire, but it can be complicated by Junko's fears and insecurities, as well as her habit of holding grudges. She's a naturally curious person, so interesting or even mysterious people may attract her interest.


Not exactly an abrasive or confrontational person, it's not as though Junko is at any terrible risk of making too many enemies. Still, she does have her share of pet peeves, and she can be slow to forgive and to give people a second chance. Simply put, treating her with an undue amount of care or pity annoys her to no end, and can, in times of extreme stress, lead to outbursts of anger or even violence. While it wouldn't be enough to consider someone her enemy, exactly, she finds it difficult to be comfortable around people who have a lacking understanding of personal space. Other than that, it's fairly normal, and she can find herself at odds with people for a number of reasons. At the end of the day, if Junko dislikes someone, she is far more likely to avoid the person in question, as opposed to actively seek retribution or the like.


This is an area in which Junko has absolutely no first hand experience. She's familiar enough with the idea, having read books, watched movies, and the like, but, for various reasons, she's never really even dipped her toe into the pool. This is not to say she is disinterested, but, rather, that it is something far more likely to arise out of a place of trust and emotional intimacy, as opposed to any kind of simple attraction. A lover, for her, would be someone she can be vulnerable to and trust implicitly. She's still human, however, and may crush on the odd guy here and there. I, as a player, am curious in exploring this side of things, but bear in mind that she's not likely to go for a fling or anything like that.

Taeko Isozaki • Female • 12 • HETEROsexual • Player • OTHER • OTHER

Young, inexperienced, and with dreams and an imagination far greater than her stature or ability, Taeko is not easily deterred or dissuaded from much of anything that she sets her mind to. She has a burning desire to show the world that she's fully capable of taking it on all on her own. Still, she is a child, and, when things go really badly, tends to rely on her dad to make the problem go away. She wants to complete her mission of rescuing her dad, but the world is full of distractions, and she doesn't have much of a lead, so that's likely to take a while.


Taeko isn't exactly a complex person, and, if a person is fun to be around, funny, interesting, or even just generous, she's likely to include them amongst her friends. Still, she's been warned often enough about 'bad men' by her dad, and can be a bit leery of the kinds of people her dad warns her about. She can be a bit flighty and easily distracted, so she's not the most loyal of friends, exactly, and far from the most understanding. At the end of the day, she is a kid, so any kind of friendship will be genuine, but probably pretty simplistic. She isn't very afraid of or uncomfortable around most adults, but is unlikely to hit it off with anyone much older than her unless they like kids.


Not having a long memory means that she's not overly likely to hold small things against people for too long. A short-temper and an independent streak can put her at odds with others, and it's quite possible she could butt heads with someone as stubborn as she is. Other than annoying her on getting in her way, being marked down as a problem by her dad is a very easy way to be suspicious of. On that note, anyone who messes with her dad is very likely to jump straight to the top of her 'worst people ever' list. She is very attached to her dad, and may resent those who try to spend too much time with him. It's definitely possible that Taeko would take it upon herself to vet any possible romantic interest of Masaru's, to make sure that they're good enough for him.


She's relatively familiar with the idea, but Taeko's too young to have any real interest in the matter.
