NAME: Ash AGE: 23 CONTACT: xwindhanax on AIM OOC JOURNAL: and Sekai-kitai on LJ HOW DID YOU FIND US?: I saw a post in regards to this on the NANA community, Blackstones, on LJ. WHY ARE YOU APPLYING/WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO GET OUT OF THIS RP?: I haven't really been in a RPG for a while now. I have been RPing for years and I have made many journals and been in several communities. However, I may have stopped due to inactivity from the other members, my own personal life or just due to lack of interest. I'm looking to join so that I may be able to enjoy doing an RPG again and to keep me busy at work :P

CHARACTER APPLIED FOR: Nobuo Terashima SERIES: NANA
HISTORY: He is the guitarist of Blast and was the only person able to befriend Nana Osaki during high school. He is the only non-smoking member of Blast. Like Yasu, Nobu comes from a rich family (his parents own an inn). Despite this, he is still very passionate about music, even sharing Osaki's dream of making it big with a band one day. He falls in love with Hachi and they start a short but happy relationship. When Takumi tells Nobu about her pregnancy, Hachi painfully leaves him for Takumi. While he eventually accepts the reasons why she left him, he still fears the possibility of the child being his. He still has feelings for Hachi but decides to get in a relationship with Yuri. While he later claims he is "over" Hachi and appears happy in his relationship with Yuri, the aftermath of Ren's death allows him and Hachi to get closer. Following a heartfelt conversation in his dorm room, the two embrace and nearly share a kiss before Hachi pulls away, in fear that she will hurt both Nobu and Yuri. Nobu proclaims loudly that he "of course" still has feelings for Hachi, when scolded by Nana.
PERSONALITY: He is friendly and optimistic, but at times tends to miss the focus of conversations around him. He can appear to be very oblivious, yet can make very powerful and detailed observations when given the chance. His tolerance for alcohol is poor and he leaks many secrets while he is drunk. When in love, he appears quite bashful in showing it, but once it is out in the open, he shows his dedication and determination towards his significant other.
JOURNAL SAMPLE: This is killing me. On so many levels. Its as if everything is all happening just to fast. I know I can't bring him back. No one can, but its almost like a cascade of chaos with just that one event. I've known Nana to be cold, but not so cold and hurt as to not speak. I can only comfort and be support, but just watching her in this state makes me feel so helpless. I'm not sure what else to do. Ren... would probably be a bit disappointed in me, but at the same time just tell me to let it go and that my nearby presence is enough for her. But what is getting to me the worst is Hachi being here. I know she's here to support and take care of Nana, no matter what. However, her just being here, like it was before back in that apartment, is what is killing me the most. How am I suppose to remain calm and dedicated when her cheerful and loving nature is near me once again?
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: All that matter was the current moment. It was nice and comforting to see that Nobu wasn't the only one who appeared to still have some sort of affection for their past encounter. He held Hachi so tightly, as if she would again slip away from his fingers like before and into some dimmed darkness where he couldn't reach her. Even with a round lump in-between them both, it didn't matter. This familiar feeling of love and compassion between them both, tears streaking down in strong patterns, was enough. Nothing needed to be said between them. Just the warmth and silence was all that he needed.
God... I hope that didn't suck XD I'm feeling kinda rusty. Hopefully it was enough and what you were looking for. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
