PLAYER: Erica CHARACTER: Rinka Urushiba CANON: Tokyo ESP
AU NAME: Rinka Urushiba? Smith? (open to her getting absorbed into an existing family) AU AGE: 16 AU OCCUPATION: High school junior BLURB: For those unfamiliar with Tokyo ESP, it's basically X-Men set in Japan. It straight up lifts so many things from X-Men to the point her dad is a Wolverine expy and Rinka is a Kitty Pryde expy. If mutant powers were granted by flying glowing fish that came from a mystical tablet. There's finding out you're a mutant (esper), deciding how you're going to use your powers, running into other espers using their powers for BAD THINGS and deciding to STOP THEM. (We're not going to talk about the 2nd half of the manga yet, lmao.)
I'm thinking of flipping Rinka's canon history. So instead of growing up broke and barely scraping by in Japan with her father, she grows up in the US with her mother and lives a rather plush life. Though she probably isn't close to her mother at all.
- living in Recolle with her mother (who is in intelligence, though Rinka probably just thinks her mother is in business) OR - living in Recolle w/ relatives from her mother's side
- has no memories of her father, believes he was someone her mother met on a 'business' trip - kind of wonders about him though, due to her distant relationship with her mom - grew up very comfortably (not rich but still pretty well off) - loves designer things, goes shopping at least once a week, bit of a clothes horse, lives in athleisure - athletic, on the track team, long jump? high jump? mile? - good student, A/B average, good at science and math, alright at literature and history, studying Japanese - just got her license, drives a FIAT 500, absolute lead foot - doesn't know shit about taking care of herself (if she lives w/ her mother, they have a housekeeper... who Rinka is probably close with) - terrified of birds (...IT'LL BE HILARIOUS WHEN SHE REGAINS PENGI ... unless someone apps Murasaki, then she has dibs on the penguin) - at some point, will get a job, b/c Rinka isn't Rinka w/out the side-hustle - known among her friends for being the violent one, will slap you upside the head for being a dumbass - more ruthless and less forgiving due to being raised by her mother instead of her father, will step on you to get what she wants - however, she's not cruel to people, just really, really driven, and puts up with no bullshit - inspired to go into sports medicine after an injury sophomore year
LOOKING FOR: relatives (mother's side OR father's side)! friends, classmates, teammates! neighbors!
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: if I do app Rinka, it wouldn't be until November, more likely January, so I can do a reread and so i can write up her history, b/c none of the wikis have it written past like... the first volume B|
