"Drugs, weapons, gangs, violence, corrupt politicians....it's the stuff that fuels a peaceful societies nightmares. We want our children, our families, our friends and our neighbors to be safe. But, the Yankan and Inago have been coming in hot, feuding over who will win, who will gain control of our once thriving city at the expense of innocent lives. The government officials are doing everything they can to stop them, but they can't all be trusted either, can they? Life has been turned upside by the greedy and malicious hands of the gangs, officers and politicians and our once safe city, is no longer that. It is time for us to start picking sides, or hiding, because this is only the beginning the decline..."

After four years of working on this plot and story- we are finally open. We're going to start small, but you'll see how quickly a city under so much opposing influence can begin to explode.

Inconspicuous motes of rock and gas radio telescope. As a patch of light, the carbon in our apple pies kindling the energy hidden in matter a billion trillion muse about! Made in the interiors of collapsing stars shores of the cosmic ocean laws of physics.
sweet night again; “I want to throw it away, forget it”. For a long time the jealousy that springs... Look at the telepathy you send. Find the real me. The sun sets, and the shadows disappear in the heart; crash with glowing magic hours

Kindness is scary, so I closed my eyes when I touched you. I slipped into an old wound and forgot about today. The light of the moon brought the distance between the two of us closer. In the morning, tomorrow, I will thrust at that cruel reality. If I am reborn and come to meet you, do you think this shredded heart of mine will heal? You see, I was manipulated by someone else and was intoxicated by that pair of fake wings. It would be great if I could go back to that day – it would be great if I could go back to that day. Trapped between the previous life and the after life, the one-way street of life continues on.[break][break]
To retain my sense of reason, my frontal lobe will hurt. My feelings brought their fangs to bear, and now you know of it's unsightliness. Will I live my whole life without understanding anyone? Am I going to die without anyone understanding me? Without embracing a hope for the future, a night of being showered with and drowning in despair: It is because I thought “I must do something” that my worn-out heart is connected with yours. It would be great if I could go back to that day – it would be great if I could go back to that day. Even if I get tired and stop to turn around, that day won't be coming back to rescue me.[break][break]
As I retain this human form of mine, will I get to fulfill my incomplete dreams?[break][break]
As I retain this human form of mine, just exactly how far will I be able to walk?[break][break]

The sibling: Another simple one for you! Recommendation on the FC (ryo asuka from devilman) is just there for an option, just keep fc to looking relatively similar to Mikine. The gender of said sibling is open to anything, and really this open format character for anyone to take on the terms outside the relationship these two have. The recommended age between the two is about one or two years older, subject to some reasonable flux. On to the deets!
So these two grew up in a well-off home, parents both lived busy lives as some big names in a company (nothing like a CEO or higher, but pretty close). They had frequently changed nannies and with that left a craving for consistent people in the home. Only Mikine was always left with that feeling as their first child was the object of their idea of perfection. This could have either mean they held them to that light more harshly or they just always seemed to fit their ideas, regardless they were the one their parents preferred out of the two.
But this didn't bitter their relationship in their younger years. Not yet, at least, as they often tried to help guide Mikine to the same level with them so they'd have to see their little sister less upset that she was the ignorable sibling. As in her younger years, she wasn't impressive to many people due to her timid demeanor as she was not very socially adept despite her craving to be noticed. In their younger years, things would have been sweet and endearing.
But things slowly changed as Mikine took an interest in street racing. Particularly, it wasn't the legal kind of street racing either where there'd be streets safely tied off and such. She kept it under lock and key, but there was only so much hiding she can do from the sibling that was curious as to what kept their little sister out so often. And when they discovered it, internally it may have broken their heart or maybe they believed her head to be too far gone in the clouds. For one, their parents could suffer if anyone was to find out their background daughter was doing something illegal. For two, the fear of her getting severely hurt in such things. But she begged them to not tell their parents, as racing was her only escape from the little world she had to build herself since she's finally accepted. Mikine also expressed that she will always be the insignificant one compared. Her sibling then relented, but at the cost of cutting off how close they were. Later, she would get in an accident that they would tell their parents why the car had been deemed street illegal and it led to Mikine being kicked out of their home, sent to the streets, and wheeling with her mental health.
As for things for them today, Mikine is still racing on the streets but she's trying her best to keep her identity hidden, a best friend that saved her from the brink, and now on her feet again, trying to live a happy life. She's in school to study Astronomy (particularly stellar astronomy and astrophysics) and in general, is doing much better in life now she is free from expectations. I feel like her older sibling would want to rekindle their old relationship, despite their parents' disownment of her, maybe realized their wrongs or just wants to be a better sibling for her. They still don't see eye to eye on everything, maybe they even have a mild issue with her relationship choices, it's all up in the air at this point.
The bestie: This is someone that would be the closest to Mikine. They saved each other one day at the tracks when she came up to him and started chattering away, promising to always listen to his problems. Since then, Miki's practically attached to the hip to him. I don't have a crazy amount for this other than I would like this to go from friends to lovers (one of the few, maybe even the first) as Mikine herself is a massive love bug herself. Of course, he may not be the only one at the time feelings are discovered. They may feel jealous at first if she has another spouse in her life when they're not included and come off bratty. But it also may be the feeling of being lost in the world as while they're no longer on the brink, they may be still be trying to rediscover themselves while Mikine seems to have it all figured out. I'm just interested in having her bestie come along the joyride of her life and be there to hold her hand whenever she wants to. Which is always.
The club: Welcome to Carina Wake, a little old car and moto club Mikine has with friends and car/moto lovers alike, whether they are racers, mechanics, or just like admiring from a distance. She really doesn't have rules or a set of requirements. She just ask that no one sell their gatherings out to the cops, and to take care of themselves. (tl;dr info dump at the bottom)
(Gatherings often worked like normal car meets, but often at night in hidden areas or dead parking garages before moving to racing locations. Traditionally races consisted of kōsoku battle, zero-yon, and touge. Drift drivers are the more common as these earned the most money and are considered safer as they happen outside the city; albeit there was still grip and drags races around as well inside the city. Some people liked to slam their cars out to not only be fast, but to look good [some even in a style known as Bōsōzoku, but not always]. These tuners were more common than did both, but some focused more on making their cars flashy and for show than racing. There were also people who like to create sleep cars, which were cars that appeared to be plain stock/straight from the lot but end up faster than they appear. A lot of people would stand along the mountain roads to watch or film. There were also people who'd signal with their own headlights for oncoming traffic during races so the racers knew to either slow down/stop or turn around. Sometimes a filmer was invited to sit in the passenger seat to film chase races and so on.)
The Homies: This here is for Quin's closest friends. These are the guys he grew up with, from the roughest part of town. I don't have a lot of specifics that need to be met, but if you need inspiration for someone that is his closest friends I have some fleshed-out ideas I can provide. But I'm not married to them, so I want to keep this open. If you want to know one of the ideas in my head for them, DM me.
That aside, what I do want is about 2 to 5 people. They met in their school days (varies from kindergarten till their high school years) and could have seen the worst and the best of all their stories in these points. They would have been tied up in the whole deal that emerged over their one friend's death and joined a gang. At least one of them would have discovered the issue with the gang to tip all of them and Quin off to leave the gang once they realized they were never going to get the revenge they set out for initially. Possibly even moved with him to the new city to escape their own past, and start roughly anew. Maybe they're all roomies, but not necessary.
But what can be said for sure about all this group is these guys are all family towards each other. They're tight, to the point that not a lot throws each other off about each other. To outsiders, they probably seem like THAT group of guys in a deep bromance as they don't hide much from each other and if they are, they tend to be able to read each other like books because they know each other so well. Regardless, they all have each other's back till the end. They want the best for each other. Though that definition of 'best' is highly loose.
That Crazy Ex: I have nothing overly specific for this, other than I really want this to be something that has an on and off again relationship. They're clearly not good for each other. This could be a simple thing as she can't let go and he can't say no, or she's having a lot of fun being able to manipulate some guy. Hell, it could be someone just obsessed with the idea of 'fixing' him because they want to fix someone. Maybe she can't stand to see him becoming happy either since the first time he dumped her? I don't know, go buck wild here.
Regardless, I really wanna see someone that can keep catching him, someone who tends to shove things off early if he's not satisfied since he's low on self-esteem and energy.
@reiko & Quin Ryzhkov I can definitely see them being enemies unless they manage to hit it off somehow. Especially since Quin isn't big on being the immediately nicest or trusting, even if they are Yankan (despite working for WR's shop). I would imagine he'd probably hit a nerve though if they do become enemies. I'm for sure down to toss them in a thread together before becoming overly decisive on this because who knows, maybe they can be friends on some level despite his history with his long string of exes. Quin is used to being hated because he's used to being painted as the jerk (though he doesn't really fight that either because he never thinks he's the best person honestly.), so if Reiko comes in swinging with some hits on that, he'd probably just shrug it off because he's got other things to worry about than people that ain't in his life.
@reiko & Mikine Shimizu Miki would probably adore Reiko, knowing her. She really just adores anyone that puts up with her, but I feel like Miki and her would really hit it off with their favorite things being music and dancing. I feel like Miki may help Reiko feel less tense (at least around her) plus I mean, free baked goods if you ever visit her. She might live in an apartment that would make you think "damn, girl, you really live like this?" but she makes the best of it. At least it's not a car. Miki just in general would love it if they hung out.
Quin isn’t quick to trust. But those that do get let in, he cares for fiercely. He’s not the type to take anyone he calls a friend being shit-talked, although he may shit-talk them in jest. He has this one really close group of friends he considers his brothers and they are those that came with him to escape their past to just live their lives. Granted he isn’t an unspeaking fortress (though talkative strangers probably are used to him wordlessly ignoring them), he takes time to warm up and relax due to his guarded nature. [break] LF: Childhood friends, new friends, anything here really[break][break]
enemies
Point blank, Quin would happily fall into his past habits with enemies, new or old. And that’s to beat the hell out of them or ruin something that has them paying a fuck ton. He’s never been one to gracefully deal with his anger. He doesn’t care to mince words, so many might find his inability to just filter himself or tone down his cussing. Many also just don’t like him from his surface, and while he has never cared about what people feel about him, his looks, or his habits so he may not actually go after you physically, he would certainly hold a grudge. [break] LF: His old gang, people that misjudged him, someone that annoys the hell out of him for just existing and they enjoy it[break][break]
romantic
Quin’s the kind of a person with a ‘body count’, though he’s not the one counting it. He’s often finding himself in flings and one-night stands. None of his relations in the past have really survived longer than 3 months. He’s pretty much given up on the idea of love, often joking how ‘that’s the fakest shit he’s ever heard’. Part of him feels he can’t be loved, another does believe his joke, and another part believes that he’ll fuck it up anyways because he fucks up everything as far as he’s concerned. If his past relationship didn’t fail because they weren’t a match, it was certainly due to some self-sabotage shit that he did in fear and then resented. He’s done very stupid things in the past, that’s for sure. [break] LF: Crazy ex-girlfriends, that toxic one that can seem to let him go even when they’re not a thing, maybe someone to prove his stupid head wrong, I dunno.
Friends growing up for her was rare. Any positive relationship in her youth was just nonexistent as most tended to ignore her, just like her family. Those that did come close to her were there to take advantage of a soul craving something in a semblance of friendship. And that has damaged her in the future for friends before she took life into her hands to try and make herself better, for herself and for those she cared for. With friends, she is a more outgoing version of herself, albeit still dialed down a bit to not get loud, a playful and excitable side surfaces. She will almost always selflessly give her time to them or help them, though she has learned the difference now of someone taking advantage of her over needing an actual hand. Even with friends, she's affectionate, often telling them she loves them and cares about them and giving them hugs. She's learning to be less over baring about it, though, as she use to be in an attempt to get people to not ignore her anymore and finding out that it ends up driving people away. She's still desperate for the people that she cares about to keep notice of her, but she's learned to cope with it as it's not a bad thing. Often times though, it's her friends finding ways to stand up for her or gain understanding through her trials, as she is so selfless that she often won't stand up for herself, unlike she does for them. [break] LF: Anything really that she can get, fellow students, science peers, racers (old street racers or new track racers), so on and so forth
enemies
Enemies are also something rare for too, once more left this ignored wayside. This isn't to say she doesn't have any. There are some that were perhaps put off by her needy personality or just didn't like how refused to stand up for herself. She generally avoids conflict, but recently found a voice for herself when it comes to those she wishes to protect, such as herself to racers that are reckless in their run on the track and get people hurt. People that have families and loved ones... She digs at these points to make those realize their errors. She does this in anything reckless and dangerous that she is sure no one asked for or was okay with too, like street brawls or dicey pranks. She's ultimately more caring for others than herself and always makes stand for them over herself in most cases. But beyond this, she just avoids people that she doesn't get along with. Albeit, she'd be a little hurt that someone would hate her outright, but she is used to it, gets over it, and leaves it be. Someone would have to go out of their way to directly bother her. [break] LF: Open to anything really too, reckless people who don't think of others, people that have tried to use her and she's learned to put behind herself
romantic
In love, she's as giving as she is greedy for affection. With her lovers, she was always desperate to earn some kind of attention from them, pushing her boundaries some just to have their attention, but never giving up everything which then left her watching them leave. At this point, she has learned it is best to work at her own pace with things, so she is seeking for patient folks that truly care for her. Granted, this doesn't mean she isn't unfoolable. But who those special folks will be, that one is for another day.[break] LF: She's open for anyone, also feel free to make exes if you'd like. [break]
Don't know what I want but now I know where it went wrong I am doomed, me in my room, yuh Hate this stupid song but I grew up to sing along I am you; recycled youth
