Sidetrack - Addendum

Thinking it over... I'm not entirely opposed to myself receiving, I think.  I go through this every time I seriously consider the physical intimacy aspect of a relationship.  I just don't like rough housing or feeling pain, so its hard to let go of my fears.  The fear of being thought of as insignificant, if that even exists.  I think it is why I try to be so gentle and affectionate with people, even if at times I come off as over-attentive.  I can control my baser desires, because... I care enough.  I think that's the best way I can explain my feelings.  I still do plenty of stuff you'd expect from a single guy.  Well, except the no social life, no partying, lol.  Maybe I'm just a bore.  I wouldn't mind a little party now and then.  I have this dream of one day seeing most of my closest internet friends all at once at like a holiday party.  ^w^  Because I care for them, we've spent so much time talking with each other and stuff, and the good ones still respond to me.  : 3   That's probably why going days without a reply from someone really rattles me.  I don't like to be forgotten.  : /  I hope that I leave a nice impression so people can at least remember me, if only that I talk a bunch and was kind, hah.  ^^

Game character concepts (2015, Hester)

I quite like this lady a lot, gotta say.  She really speaks to me, like, while *I* would like to hug Georgia and praise her for her level of resolve, Hester is just someone I'd like to be around and listen to, even if it results to her gushing over her love and stories she's picked up on the job.  Haha.


Hester
"An intrepid journalist looking to build a tell-all article on the talk of the town, Mayor Tae Kyung-Joon.  Her boundless work ethic is unrivaled... assuming her intense passion for her own lover doesn't impair her focus."
Gender: ♀
Age: 28
Ethnicity: White (Scandinavian)
Occupation: Photo-Journalist
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 134 lbs
Build: Statuesque
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Gray
Skin Color: Light
Loves: to learn, discussion, shamelessly teasing Andre
Hates: lack of feed-back, "trolling", working late
Favorite Food: Veggie Burgers
Weapon of Choice: Hookshot, Flash Bomb, Pepper Spray... her travel bag
Back-story and Personality:
Hester was raised in a small, rural community nestled between several mountains.  Physical exertion never being her forte, she threw herself into her studies and did quite well academically.  She was always a sweet and friendly sort of girl, not experiencing much strife save for not being "rich" by any means.  She learned, from the aid of books, to listen very carefully to people and easily understands even the most clumsy speaker around.  Lack of experience in busier locales, however, does not deter her spirit.  Whatever she takes on, she embraces and coddles like a fragile, thousand-year-old artifact.  During college, she met a very sweet and relaxed man called Andre, whose simple charm and fascination in her boundless energy caused her to soar... until she could come to rest, tenderly within his arms.  Because of her tendency to work with remarkable verve, her diet occasionally suffers, but she can barely contain her enthusiasm if Andre offers to cook something.  Perhaps her own simple needs are what keeps him around, as Hester rarely asks for much at all.  Well... unless it involves... pleasuring her lover.  A boundlessly kind and giving soul... pure and simple... how unique it is.

Game character concepts (2015, Georgia)

This may be the character I like most of the first three.   Although I do like all my characters, so that isn't a huge statement but I'm quite happy with my intents for this one.


Georgia
"The Mayor's spirit; a composed, mature young woman who rarely expresses negative emotions openly.  Her serenity can be attributed to the healthy, wholehearted upbringing provided by her two mothers."
Gender: ♀
Age: 26
Ethnicity: Japanese
Occupation: Mobile Psychotherapist
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 127 lbs
Build: Average
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Skin Color: Intermediate
Loves: mother, "Mama P", her career choice
Hates: aggression, shut-ins
Favorite Food: Tokyo-style Ramen
Weapon of Choice: Katana
Back-story and Personality:
Georgia (born as "Juuri" at first), is very calm and driven.  What drives her to help others can only be explained by explain her origins and early life.  Her mother, Yukina, was born and living in Japan until time came for her to pursue further education beyond high school.  Some time into college, Yukina was tragically beset upon by thugs and lost her innocence to them, later learning she now carried a child, no less.  While attempting to cope with this, she met and made a new friend among a foreign woman, Patrice, whom was studying abroad at the time.  Yukina was drawn to Patrice's down-to-earth and direct personality, who easily grew to care for Yukina in her troubled time.  Juuri was cared for by her grandparents at first, though they of course wanted their daughter to marry a fine local man or two to ensure Juuri and Yukina's future.  When Yukina approached them with her developing affection to Patrice, they were quite shocked, though not appalled since Patrice was not discourteous nor did Yukina seem unhappy.  Knowing of the social stigma that would likely be imposed if they remained in Japan, Patrice offered to allow Yukina and Juuri to stay with her family back home in Georgia, of the USA.  Hesitantly, the grandparents agreed and a few of their worries gradually faded as the years passed and they received films and letters of their granddaughter's caring home life (now named Georgia in tribute to Yukina's love).  Georgia met Kyung when she was 7 years old, as he lived in the area at the time.  They were only school acquaintances at first but grew closer and briefly "dated" when their ages reached the double digits.  Shortly thereafter, Kyung had to move away and Georgia felt her first real spark of anger and caused a bit of trouble.  When she was settling down and breaking into her time of physical maturity, her mother shared the story of how she and "Mama P" came together and why one should never give up if bad things happen.  Resolved from this, Georgia selflessly tries to be positive, to give her mother less sadness than what she was forced to bear in years past.  When she entered college, she fatefully reunited with Kyung, and it was Georgia whom convinced him to pursue a relationship with Damien.  After all, her mother was usually happy and Patrice was always kind and constant in her life, so Georgia held no harshness if two people of the same gender seem to be close.  It also happens that Georgia frequently receives plenty of male attention, much to her own chagrin as she'd rather help others be happy than worry about her personal life or lack thereof.  Coming to understand others can be its own reward, and thus, she continues onward...

Game character concepts (2015, Damien)

(So if anyone wonders why I'm putting the year in the titles for this group of posts... its because I make a TON of random ideas in my free time.  Thus, its more so that I can remember when, approximately, I first came up with the stuff.)


Damien
"The Mayor's heart, whose bright, fun nature keeps his partner in positive standing, especially with the youth demographic.  Tends to be quite selective and harsh with words but is as equally kind, if not more-so, deep down."
Gender: ♂
Age: 24
Ethnicity: White/Unknown (some concentration of Lebanese and African roots are apparent)
Occupation: Comedian
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 186 lbs
Build: Full & Soft
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Hazel
Skin Color: Light
Loves: his boyfriend, singing, making others laugh
Hates: being alone, his impulses
Favorite Food: Pomegranate Tea or his boyfriend's cooking
Weapon of Choice: Rifle (semi-automatic)
Back-story and Personality:
Although he can be a very selfish person, you would hardly know it from the way Damien carries himself.  Always around people and rarely without a posse of groupies or general acquaintances, with a big, dopey grin on his face.  Still, in the present, he has much to smile about.  In the past... quite less.  It's rather foggy, perhaps from overdosing on narcotics for a time, but what is clear is that Damien moved around a lot in his childhood, enough so that it was pretty difficult to make lasting friends at all.  Despite full awareness of the consequences, he began exhibiting reckless choices when his age reached the teens.  Perhaps that is part of why he wandered onto a suicide page on the internet and peered through a forum that seemed even-split between prevention and acceptance (promotion wasn't encouraged but it was a rather sketchy place to visit all the same).  At first, meeting the future mayor was a chance for Damien to simply joke around and pick up the shmuck's broken state, mending it through humor.  But later, after his first attempts at a local relationship fell to ruin, it was Damien who forgot how to laugh.  Still, his new friend was ever-vigilant and devoted much time to him, despite being some miles away (Damien resided in northern California at this time).  This odd level of understanding eventually got Damien to laugh again and drove him to consider a career in entertaining people.  When Kyung, almost surprisingly, came out and offered his devotion, Damien accepted.  Though at times he is prone to wonder as to why someone so nice can possibly love someone like his self, Damien does feel more confidence in knowing that he is cared for.  A foul-mouthed, simple looking "loser" like him with a model of masculinity, kindness and warmth??  How funny!  But... even if it's not forever... Damien is happy that Kyung is with him...

Just a little sidetrack...

I'll admit, I keep occasionally going back to semeuke (dot) com to take this really ridiculous personality quiz.  They even changed the questions to make it even more... flaming, lol.  So eh, my usual result is..

"You are a Chibi Seme
You are the seme in disguise. Able to fit in and get along with uke and seme alike, you are able to get close to the uke on their level before exerting your dominance. This makes you at times manipulative and able to fool others about your true seme nature. Because of your harmless appearance, it takes the flamboyant Flaming Uke to match wits and really bring out your aggressive side to expose you for the seme that you are."

I don't think I'm that manipulative but its so true.  x.x   The full profile for this... "stereotype" of gay people like me goes on to say...

"Mischievous, loyal, and intelligent, the Chibi Seme always seems to have a quiet energy whispering around them, suggesting that there is much more to them then what there first appears to be. Laid-back, and not one to call a lot of attention to themselves, they tend to guard their creative, forceful, (and somewhat manipulative) inner self behind an easygoing and playful exterior shell, which makes it impossible for most to truly know them. It takes a special Uke personality to see into the Chibi Seme's deep hidden self and release their sensual side, but once the Chibi Seme has let in that one special person, they will be forever loyal, loving, and protective.
A Chibi Seme will never be completely happy with just the ordinary. Setting themselves somewhat apart from the rest of the world, they need someone like-minded to keep them challenged intellectually and spiritually - a partner to inspire their dark naughty adventures and give them the motivation to take control."

 So for those not in the know, the seme is the giving partner (in most instances) and the uke is the receiving (in that way, ya).  Well its no shock to me what my preferred role is.  I'm just surprised to remain static.  Though, with the old quiz I sometimes got this or "opportunist seme" at times.  None of them are outright negative though some are pretty tightly "defined" and makes me wonder who seriously behaves in such a way.  I'm not sure what... this guy I really like a heck of a lot would end up as.  He'd say, "well it depends on my mood."  But I'll admit, it truly surprised me when he said, "well if you see me, there'd be tension," it's like... is... that... a vague admission that you kinda want me?  Anyway, I'm really derailing my thoughts again.  I'm told this is normal behavior for people with Asperger's but it sure can be annoying.  : /   He can be flaming a bit, which I like.  Idk, I think he's just so adorbs and I really want to see him again.  Oh well, a guy can hope, right?  I will see him again but my hope is towards... maybe finding something more.  Not that I can't be in just a friendship but its weird, even for me.  Why can't I resist these overly affectionate feelings?  Doesn't help that the universe almost seems to be pushing me into him, either, lawl.  Well ah, good night, readers.

Game character concepts (2015, "the mayor")

About two (or was it three?) days after thinking him up, I have a name for this guy... (and it starts with my favorite letter, haha.)


Kyung-joon
"A kind, newly elected Mayor of ____(leaning to someplace, probably made up, in Oregon, USA) whom bears a strong sense of justice.  Freely places his own life in danger for the sake of his causes, delegating the mundane duties to his cabinet officials."
Gender: ♂
Age: 28
Ethnicity: Korean-Irish
Occupation: Mayor
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165 lbs
Build: Muscular
Hair Color: Dark Auburn
Eye Color: Dark Brown
Skin Color: Intermediate
Loves: his boyfriend, family (in concept), swimming
Hates: killing, self-destructive behavior, excess noise
Favorite Food: Tacos
Weapon of Choice: Meteor Hammer
Back-story and Personality:
Kyung's mother was a war refugee and became with child shortly before her emigration to America, falling in love with a soldier of Irish descent.  The father died bravely in the ongoing war and his love would pass on stories of him to her son, from what relatives of the deceased would relay to her (although they were never married, the father's relations residing in America took a liking to their would-be in-laws).  At age 12, tragedy would strike and claim Kyung's mother's life to sudden illness, causing him to move in with a cousin of his father's elsewhere, as his mother's family only existed in Korea and had no means to contact him.  This man was strange and made Kyung very uncomfortable, committing some atrocious acts with Kyung unable to disobey, or else become homeless.  Those actions nearly drove Kyung to end his life then, at age 17, if not for one most fateful encounter on a suicide-themed forum with a person whom he felt an especially magnetic attachment to, much quicker than most people he's connected with beforehand (barring a childhood friend he knew before moving in with his father's cousin).  After a few more years, with the backing of his friend who fatefully wandered back into his life as well, he began a courtship with this young boy, and quickly pushed his recent abusive years far back into the dark corners of his brain.  Though they tend to argue at times, they rarely stay mad at one another and are a stable, positive influence in each other's lives.  Although Kyung is especially professional and eloquent in public, he adapts his partner's shyness and sharper tongue if stressed or overwhelmed.   He longs to one day start a family, a proper, loving family... perhaps with... well, all in due time...

Well, one down.  ^_^   Hope... whoever reads this may like it perhaps, lol.

Game Character concepts (2015, intro)

Every now and then I dig deep and just pull out some pretty intriguing fictional characters from the ether.  I do oft dream of one day working on a video game (most likely an RPG, my favorite genre) to present such characters in.  Although programming is a hindrance in the way of that, and funding for obvious reasons, I do enjoy writing characters nontheless.  So here's some random stuff I've done recently...


The general premise for this game's plot is to follow a young, freshly elected political figure (a mayor, to be precise) and experience his life as it plays out, now in such a position and forced to overcome past demons and impending strife while not neglecting his true duty to the people he truly cares about and vows to serve.  The major characters intended to be "playable" at this point in time boil down to....

The Mayor, age 28 (male)
his Heart, age 24 (male)
his Spirit, age 26 (female)
an intrepid photo-journalist, age 28 (female)
her pillar, age 30 (male)
A loyal concillor, age 57 (male)
some woman, age to be determined
a synthetic humanoid (no physical gender)

This work of fiction takes place on a parallel Earth, with a modern setting (in terms of locale) and actual place names, but has some light fantasy elements presented, anyway...  Onto the completed character profiles at this point.  (going to make separate posts for each since these get Long).
